Serena's face heated when she saw Rooka's bed. It was black and made of silk. Just like her premonition. What her premonition failed to show her was the size of the bed. It was big.
They were naked, both trying to touch, both moaning in pleasure…
She quickly walked to the kitchen and washed her face. The flashes were getting hotter and she was getting flustered. She was no virgin, but the two sexual experiences she had, was nothing compared to this. And the man had kissed her once!
Is this how it feels to have a mate? Serena asked herself. The strong emotional connection they had was something she couldn't deny. It was like Rooka was so aware of her very needs that a simple touch alleviated all her fears. And she, in return, calmed the wolf trying to seek vengeance for her sake.
It was crazy...but it felt right.
Her rumbling stomach broke her inner musings. One more splash and she was done. When she fully looked at her surroundings, a delightful smile appeared on her face.
The kitchen was a dream come true. It was an open concept, and the center island with black marble tiles was the main highlight. The L-shaped counter had the same color and texture as the center aisle. At the end of the L-shaped counter were two fridge, both were two doors. Well, he is a were being, she thought to herself. The upper and lower cupboards had the same color, but the groves were painted in gold to make them look elegant.
The counter was clean, she opened one of the drawers and found all the knives and cooking utensils neatly arranged on each drawer. One by one, she opened each cabinet. Glasses, utensils, dishes, and pots and pans were all stored on each cabinet. Even the spices, condiments, and pantry needs were stored in the cabinet on the center island. The oven was facing the other side, adjacent to the sink. The double burner was just an arm's length from the sink making clean-up easy.
There were at least four stools around the counter. She sat on one as she stared at the window that was located near the sink.
She was okay. The last three days were not even the tip of the iceberg. If not for Rooka, she would have killed herself. The pain she felt was too much, however, with what she had learned. What she was feeling right now, was nothing , compared to the man who was sleeping in the bedroom.
Serena closed her eyes, 'Lem? Can you hear me?'
'Princess, is there something wrong?' Lem was at the Manor, he was to be with Megan and it also gave the two Alpha’s a chance to just be them. 'Are you alright?'
'I’m okay, Lem. We were attacked -'
'ARE YOU OKAY?!'
'But Rooka was able to kill them. So we are fine. How is Meg?'
Lem was suddenly silent. Then he tentatively said, 'Drunk. Megan drank Were Being wine.'
'And?'
'She is okay, Rena. I saw her being carried by Wayne. She was telling the Beta that she missed her daddy.'
'Is Wayne okay?'
'He was still alive, the last time I saw him, so I guess he is okay.'
'Good. I’m going to be sleeping in Rooka’s house. You don’t have to be worried about me.'
'I will always worry, princess. I trust Rooka. I am sorry that I cannot tell you about him. It was not our place.'
'It was not your fault, Lem. I don't blame anyone, if mom and dad are alive, they would be the ones telling me about my mate. Aunt Seraphina is here, so I’m good.'
'Seraphina is scary' Lem heard his princess laugh. It was a sound that he had not heard since the death of his queen. He smiled, somehow, he knew that Serena would be okay.
'I have to go. I'm hungry and it looks like I have to cook something for us. Have you talked to Lily?'
'Yes, she is fine. She is worried about Zahir, but I told her not to feel that way. He is powerful Were Being with people behind his back. So she should not be that worried.'
'I’m glad she is okay. Talk to you later, Lem.'
Serena closed the connection between them and began to stretch her arms. She wanted to cook something for Rooka. And since she was in her dream kitchen, might as well take advantage of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The smell of something delicious and mouthwatering woke Rooka from his sleep. He blinked several times to clear the cobwebs from his brain. Slowly the events that happened earlier came rushing back. He wearily rubbed his eyes and sat up. Serena was safe and cooking...again. A sleepy smile escaped his lips as he stood up and walked to his bathroom.
Rooka took his time in the shower. Washing away all the filth and grime from his body. He was still sore from Wayne's beating, a few bruises, and he could feel his cracked ribs healing. What he needed was food, his stomach rumbled just thinking what his mate was cooking. From the smell coming from the kitchen, it would be the best meal he had.
He stepped out of the shower, rubbed his upper torso, and slung the towel on his shoulder. He wore black sweatpants and walked out of his room while he was drying his hair. The moment he rounded the corner leading to his kitchen he stopped in his tracks.
Serena was singing. Singing a Japanese song, no, she was not off-key, but he could not help but be amazed at the way she sang the song. It was like she was a native speaker.

When the last words died, she was starting to sing another song. Rooka slowly walked behind her and caged her between him and the sink. Just like what he had done at Megan's Inn. Her hair was in a bun exposing her neck. He slowly rubbed his nose and inhaled her scent. He then gave a tentative lick, slowly bit, and sucked her skin leaving a kiss mark.
Serena felt him, she grabbed the edge of the counter to keep herself upright. She could feel his heat and the warmth of his breath. A moan escaped her closed lips when he licked her neck. She unconsciously tilted her in surrender and gasped when he began sucking her neck. She reached for his hand, so she could hold on to him, but he turned her head, and kissed her lips.
The kiss was consuming. It was hot, it was possessive, it was the kind of kiss that long-time lovers gave to each other. Rooka tenderly cradled her face while his lips possessed her. The way his tongue swiped her lips for entrance was slow yet dominant. Once his tongue was inside, her body lost all balance and he had wrapped his other arm around her to keep her upright.
Her moan of pleasure drove Rooka to kiss her deeper. His tongue sought hers drawing it to his mouth so he could suck it. Then he let it go and bit her upper lip and soothed it with gentle swipes of his tongue. When lifted his face to look at her, her face was flushed, and her lips swollen. When she opened her eyes, it took all of his will power not to take her against the counter.
There, in his mate's eyes, was the same need, and desire he felt.
Serena's heart was beating too fast, and Rooka knew without a doubt knew that he was the cause. She expected smugness, and arrogance when she opened her eyes. But there was none.Tenderness.Desire.Love.She wanted to pull back, to forget all the emotions she saw, but he was not letting her."Don't," he whispered. "Don't hide, Serena. You don't have to be afraid of this. Of us.""I know, Rooka," she opened her eyes and looked at him.Tears were starting to gather at the corner of her eyes, so he kissed them. Lingering a bit to let her feel his affection. Once
The warm water felt good against her skin. After an afternoon of tears, a twilight fight, cooking, what she was doing was a blessing. Her face turned red when she remembered what happened in the kitchen.He was just kissing my neck. She had never had such an intense reaction, and her climax caught her off guard. Yet, when she was finished, Rooka held her until the waves died down. He was not even smug about it. But his words? Thinking about the way he said it made her wet…and she was in the shower. The urge to stroke herself was there, but no. This time…Serena stepped out of the bathroom and wore Rooka's shirt. The towel she was using was still damn from his shower. She couldn't help but bury her face and inhale his scent. She laughed when she saw the hamper, it was
Rooka was hard as nails, and hearing Serena climax for the fourth time drove him insane. Her juices were sweet and tangy, the amount of nectar her body was producing was like a complement to his ministration. Eating her is one of the most exciting things he will often do with her. Right now…“Let's see if we can have a fifth one,” and dove back between her legs. He only got a few swipes of his coarse tongue when another climax hit her, this was more powerful. He could see how much it affected her. Her body was twitching and he could feel her thigh shaking from her release.“ROOKA!” Serena cried out, her body was shaking, panting, and sobbing when the waves died down. The man gave her lower lips gentle kisses before he looked up. His palms were stroking her upped thighs. She opened her eyes to see
“Are you hungry?”Rooka asked Serena. She was sprawled on top of him after another round of lovemaking. He was able to come inside her two more times. He was beyond satisfied but this was a start. He cannot undo the hunger he felt for thirty years in a span of one night. Rooka would need more than three times to come inside her. He felt her nod. “You need to get off me, baby.”“No, energy," was her mumbled answer. He laughed softly, he then rolled, so he was on top and she was on the bed. The movement made them groan, he was still hard inside her. Small ripples of pleasure ran through her already sensitive pussy. Serena's body was far from sated, yet she needed at least some recovery time."Ah, baby, you still want me. I can feel your pussy trying to hold on to my dick," Rooka said as he stayed still, he wanted to take her again, but from the way her stomach was rumbling, she nee
Rooka felt Serena leave the bed. His wolf was on alert because it felt that something was wrong with her. Drawers were opened, and after a few minutes, she was walking out of the house. His wolf was demanding to follow their mate, to make sure that she was okay. We need to give her space. She is powerful enough to injure those people. Whatever is happening to her, we need to let her come to us, Rooka told his beast, the latter whined and looked at him with puppy dog eyes. I do not want to be the kind of mate that will be asking her ‘Are you okay?’ every time I feel unrest in our bond. She hasn’t accepted us. So be patient. It gave a pitiful whine then closed its eyes.
The sunlight passing through the open window woke her up. Megan whimpered and tried her best to block the glare of the morning sun, however, it was futile. She tried moving her head, but a wave of dizziness washed over her. I will never drink any alcohol Wayne gives me, she thought. It was the fourth drink that got to her. To be honest, though, Wayne wasn't the one to have her the drink…but still. It was sooooooo goooood! The sudden need to go to the bathroom forced her to open her eyes. Megan tried to roll over the bed, but something heavy was stopping her movement. Her whole body became cold and thoughts about rape surfaced on her mind. Her breathing began to shorten, and she started hyperventilating. She was too afraid to move, too frozen to… "Pet, your dress. I'm dressed. I can smell the fear pouring out of your body, so relax." Megan began t
It was already lunchtime when the Alpha pair visited the manor.Since last night was the celebration of his parents' mating anniversary, there was still food in the kitchen. Passed-out bodies still littered the main grounds, but the hallway was relatively quiet. Rooka knew from the past anniversaries that his parents would still be in their chambers, so he was surprised to see his father in the office.Khalid looked at his eldest son. Although he had accepted Wayne as his, this man standing at the open door of the office was his flesh and blood. The pain they have caused was not easy to forgive, but then again, if they did not do the decision, hundreds of alter babies would have been killed.Father and son looked at each other. Weighing who should talk first, trying to form the words on how to explain the events that lead them up to this point.“Alpha Rooka,” Lem s
Not having clothes to wear was starting to get Megan and Serena's nerves. While Serena had been wearing Rooka's clothes, Megan, on the other hand, had no problem wearing Nuru's. But Wayne… Let's just say he was not happy. His jackal was miffed. His jackal was jealous that she was wearing another person's clothes, but at the same time, happy that she was covered. The conflicting emotions of his beast cause the man to be grumpy. To think that they have only been in Egypt for twenty-four hours. Between their arrival, the fight, the party, and the… Serena stopped her thoughts from going further. She would blush every time she remembered what had happened the night before. There were more important things to think about other than that. She remembered their opponents and how Rooka did his “Earthbending”. A smile broke out on her lips, at the same time Rooka looked at her.
