Lost Lycan Princess

New Pack

Starr

I wash up and change into the blue ankle-length summer dress Kai handed me. It has short sleeves and doesn’t show any cleavage, not that I have much. I don’t even have a handful of boob!

A memory of someone calling me flat-chested flashes in my mind. I can’t see faces and don’t recognize the voice, but it feels real. I’m not flat-chested, just not well-endowed in the boob area.

Will Kai be put off by my lack of boob when he sees me naked?

The thought is disheartening. But I won’t allow myself to be self-conscious. This is who I am, and I can’t change that. Kai will want me no matter how I look. If he wants me with this hideous scar I feel on my cheek every time I touch it, he’s not going to be bothered by my boobs or lack thereof.

Something else tugs at the back of my mind, a man calling my name. Again, I can’t see his face, but I see his silhouette, his hand reaching out to me as he calls for me.

I feel like I should know him, that he’s important to me. But the more I try to remember, the less I do. It hurts my heart and makes my stomach ache.

I push the thought away while fastening my dress. It’s a good thing I don’t need a bra because Kai didn’t hand me one, though there are panties in my size - How did he know my size? - and even a pair of flat shoes in my size. I wasn’t even aware of my size! But it seems someone guessed correctly, or perhaps Iona remembered my size.

That still boggles my mind that Iona knows me. But she hasn’t told anybody she knew me previously, which seems odd. It’s not like I can say anything when I don’t even remember her. But if some random girl turned up on my doorstep with no memory, and I knew her, the first thing I’d do is tell my Alpha the truth. Well, maybe not the first, but I’d certainly tell him the first chance I got. I guess Iona will have her reasons, but if she doesn’t tell Kai soon, then I will.

Kai gave me a roll-on deodorant that he said the pack makes themselves, one for women, one for men. It smells incredible, and I’m grateful for it because I don’t want to be stinking in the sun.

I almost cry when Kai tells me to sit down so he can comb my hair. I’m not sad; it was just so sweet, and he is so gentle with me. This remarkable man, my mate, treats me as if I’m the most precious thing in the world to him. After everything I’ve been through, all the horrible things I must have endured, that means everything to me. Kai braids my hair and ties it off at the bottom before kissing my head. I almost melt into him.

I don’t remember much about mate bonds, but I do know how special they are. Whatever this feeling inside of me is when I’m near Kai, I believe it is the mate bond. It’s special because it makes my insides warm when I look at him. He makes me smile with his actions and how he looks at me.

Does every woman find a mate who treats her like Kai treats me?

Okay, it has been a day, but I can feel it in my bones that Kai is the one for me. I’m scared; of course, I am, anyone would be, but I am willing to try.

Kai takes my hand in his, entwining our fingers as he leads me out of his home. We walk around the small village, and Kai points things out to me with a smile. There are thirty cabins that house pack members, much more than there were when Kai was a child. Kai said there was room on the land for more if the pack began to grow. There is a cabin where some pack members make clothes, one where candles and soaps are made, and one for food preparation.

Kai shows me the cold storage bunker where food and drink are kept. I was curious how everything is kept cold when there is no electricity in the bunker, so there is no refrigeration. Kai opens the massive stone door, and I’m hit with a blast of cold air. The bunker is on the side of a small mountain, which is naturally cold, so Kai told me. It is fascinating, and I enjoy my time with Kai.

I meet some of the pack, and each person smiles in my direction. I smile back but don’t say anything when Kai introduces me. People give us curious looks because Kai is holding my hand. But Kai doesn’t tell anyone that we are mates.

It hurts a bit thinking he doesn’t want anyone to know. I wonder how it would work with me staying here and living with the Alpha.

Wouldn’t people ask questions?

I dared not question Kai; it’s not my place.

Kai did say that the whole pack would gather tonight to eat. Kai said it would be a good chance for me to meet everyone officially. I wasn’t sure what he meant by that, but I nodded in agreement.

“You seem a little disappointed,”

“No,” I smile and shrug, even though I am disappointed. “I was just wondering why you didn’t tell anyone I’m your mate.”

Kai stops just outside his cabin and turns to look at me. He smiles. “I want to introduce you properly at dinner. Everyone is already talking, wondering if you’re my mate. I have wanted to tell every person we’ve come into contact with, Starr, because I am so proud that you’re mine.”

I can’t keep the wide smile off my face, nor can I stop myself from wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head on his chest. He’s much taller than I am, at least half a foot, maybe a little less, so I can’t sling my arms around his shoulders as I wanted.

Kai tips my head up with his fingertips under my chin. He has a look in his eyes that says he wants to kiss me; I can see it in the way he’s looking at me, and I so want that more than anything.

“Kai,” I whisper his name, groaning as he slides his thumb over my lips.

“I want nothing more than to kiss you right now. But I won’t; I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do.”

“But I want you to kiss me,” I admit.

Kai’s eyes widen before he grabs my hand and drags me inside. I laugh while trying to keep up with him, and as soon as the doors shut behind us, he lifts me in his arms. I wrap my legs around his waist with a gasp and my arms around his neck.

Kai turns us so my back is against the door, and I can’t take my eyes off his mouth. He has such gorgeous plush lips, and I can’t wait to feel them against mine.

“Kai,” I whine. “Please, kiss me.”

And he does, so softly, at first, that I barely feel it.

His tongue slides against the seam of my lips, and my mouth instantly opens, granting him access. I moan as our tongues entwined as he kisses me passionately and my pus.sy floods with desire.

Is this normal?

I’m embarrassed, but I don’t want the kiss to end. I don’t know if I’ve ever been kissed before this moment, but even if I had, I doubt it was anything like this.

I whimper while grinding against Kai’s stomach. Oh, Goddess above! My pu.ssy is so wet, and I’m aching in all the right places. I want to feel him inside of me, making love and fu.cking me all at the same time.

What the hell was wrong with me?

Kai pulls out of the kiss, and I whine right as he presses his forehead to mine.

“I can smell your arousal, baby girl.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No, don’t be sorry, Starr.” I gasp as he lifts me enough to press his steely ere.ction along my aching pu.ssy. “You have me hard as nails, baby.”

“Kai. . .” My words die on my tongue because some as.shole bangs on the door so loud it startled me!

“Come on, big brother, we know you’re in there. We can smell you!”

Laughter has me widening my eyes. I am so embarrassed!

Kai growls low in his throat while lowering me to my feet. I swallow hard because I feel like he’s suddenly angry with me.

“Go wait for me in the bedroom. This won’t take long.”

He dismissed me like I was nothing! But I walk away without a word, even if he did just hurt my feelings.

Goddess, I could kill whoever was on the other side of that bloody door. Brothers or no brothers!
