To Tempt An Alpha King

Yes... alpha... p-please...

VALEN

Events such as parties and balls never bothered me. That was obviously because I had been attending them since birth, so they had grown on me. But for some reason, this one did. The ball was taking place this evening, and I did not understand why I was fretting about the whole thing. The prospect of finding my mate was good news, it was a great thing for everyone, especially me. But I was nervous.

So much, in fact, that I awakened very early this morning. Now it was late in the afternoon, and I could hear the shuffling of feet about the palace as servants made preparations for tonight. Raking my fingers through my hair, I let out a deep sigh and stood from my bed. I needed a drink. Or maybe two. Minutes later, I was seated in the wine room, downing my second glass of whiskey. I stretched my legs across my seat and laid back, doing nothing but staring at the ceiling.

The sound of the doors opening made me look up to see Calum walk in. His eyes were dark and heavy, a lot like mine. I realized he must have been up all night working. When he caught sight of me sitting at the far end of the room, he immediately paused in his steps. He did not hold my gaze. Instead he bowed deeply.

"Alpha. I apologize, I had no idea you were in here." Saying that, he proceeded to leave.

I swallowed hard. After our last interaction, we had barely said two words to each other. All he did was give a cold bow and a greeting, much like this one, everytime we met in the hallway. I had pretended not to care at first. After all, I was the king. And everyone was required to give me the respect I deserved, grudge or not. But Calum was not just one of my subjects. He was also my friend. And I wanted it to remain that way.

"It is I that should apologize," I spoke up as he set one foot outside the door. Before he could protest, I continued. "That day was…" I tried to find the words. "It was difficult for me. A lot was going on. And although all that is going to be fixed today, it still does not justify my actions. So, I am sorry for being so hard on you, especially when I knew you were only trying to help."

There was a brief silence. And then Calum shut the door and walked back in. "You do know I have no other choice in the matter. So is this a command or a request?"

As I frowned at his words, I saw his eyes tinkle with amusement. Ah, a joke. Of course, Calum was fond of those. "Come on, friend. Let's bury this. What does a king have to do to earn some forgiveness," I played along, shaking my head.

My friend chuckled. "Well, there are a few things I have in mind…"

"Ah, don't get ahead of yourself."

The sound of our laughter filled the silent room for a few moments and then he finally took a seat across mine. "I guess I'll just have to settle with a glass of whiskey."

I smirked. For no other man would I ever have done what I just did. A king never apologizes, even more so to his subjects. But Calum was more than just a friend. He was my best friend.

His father and mine had been rivals in their time, each contesting for the title of Alpha King. Usually, it was a title inherited by the present alpha's family. But my grandfather had set up a competition in his reign. Whoever impressed him the most was going to be the next alpha. Ultimately, things landed in my father's favor, but the two remained bitter enemies, and so did their children.

Until one day, Calum's father saved mine from an ambush which was planned for him. This action settled the longtime rivalry, and since then Calum and I had been inseparable. We attended the same schools, took the same lessons, and when it was my time to prove myself worthy of the alpha title, he supported me like a brother.

"Speaking of settling, how are your personal arrangements coming up? For the ball," I saw him try to stifle a laugh.

"I'm…excited," I lied. "What's so funny?"

He burst into laughter. "Oh, nothing, my Lord. I'm just trying to picture you joyful with your future mate, and wife. One woman for the rest of your life. Isn't that your greatest fear?"

I groaned loudly, shaking my head. I was happy about regaining my powers soon, of course. But I still could not imagine living with one woman for the rest of my life. It was enough to make me shudder. "Well, the thought of having a single p***y to f**k for the rest of my life is horrifying, if that's what you're asking."

Calum burst into boisterous laughter and I glared at him. "Shut up."

"Maybe this is a life lesson from the goddess, after all. Lesson one; stop being such a manwhore."

He ducked just in time to dodge the pillow I flung at him. Still chuckling, I downed the last of my drink and stood. "Well, I guess I better make my last time worth my while. I'm off to my chambers."

"Ah, let me guess. You already have a bevy of women waiting for you."

"Touché," I winked at him and walked toward the door. "I'll see you at the ball tonight."

I threw open the doors of my chamber, smirking at the sight of the big-breasted blonde I had ordered to wait for me.

"Alpha," she greeted in a small voice, tearing at her robe and letting it fall to the ground. My groin twitched at the sight of those large, pointy n*****s. Slowly, I began to pull my clothes off. Soon, I was completely nude. I saw her gasp at the sight of my now hardened c**k. I pulled the wench by her hair, forcing her to look at me.

"Spread."

She obeyed without a second to spare, widening her legs so wide I could see her juices drip over her folds. Gripping my length, I began to pump myself, slowly pushing into her.

"Oh!" She yelled, her eyes widening. "Yes…alpha…p-please…" she continued to whimper, rocking her hips back and forth. I moaned, gripping her thighs tighter as I pounded into her. I paused for a second to turn her on her back. Stretching my hands forward, I gripped her breasts, touching, squeezing, suckling, until her moans rented the air. But I did not stop. Instead, I went harder, fondling those hard n*****s between my fingertips.

As I neared my climax, I pulled my length out of her and forced it into her wide eager mouth. I grunted in pleasure from the wetness of her mouth. I gripped her head, pushing her forward as I f****d her mouth. A loud moan escaped me as I finally exploded into her mouth. And I watched with satisfaction as she swallowed me whole.

I let out a loud laugh as I began to clean myself up. This was exactly what I needed. Before I could express my thoughts, a knock on my door interrupted me. Cursing whoever it was under my breath, I grabbed a cloth and pulled it around myself. "Come in!"

Two servants bumbled in, curtseying briefly. "Alpha, the ball commences in an hour. We are here to help you get ready."

Oh. I had almost forgotten about that. I cast one last glance at the naked blonde in my bed as I walked into the bathroom to clean up. I couldn't help but be annoyed by the interruptions as I was not fully satisfied yet. I was already beginning to get aroused again. A few more rounds would have satisfied me. But apparently, there was no time for that.

I turned on the shower and let the cold water take care of my erection. As I soaped off my body, my mind was roaming, thinking about today's event. Somewhere outside right now, my mate was waiting. I would find her tonight and soon, my powers would be doubled and everything would be fine.

I tried to look on the brighter side. Maybe my parents and Calum were right. Maybe marriage would not be bad. It was a long time coming, after all. I would eventually get used to the idea. My parents had been married for years and yet they were still happy. If I were lucky, I would have the same.

Hopefully.

I stepped out of the shower with a towel around my waist, hoping that the blonde was out already. Luckily, she was. The two servants bowed, gesturing to the outfit they had laid out for me. I quickly pulled it on and sat in a chair, waiting impatiently as they began to prepare me.

A few moments later, I was ready. As one of the servants finished the final touches on my hair and balanced the ceremonial crown, I stood.

It was time.
