Mated To The King Of Supreme Alphas

Chapter 15

Lyla's .. POV

I woke up early still tired, last night was pretty rough for me, the migraines made it almost impossible to sleep for more than thirty minutes, but even when I slept I had to deal with nightmares of things I don't remember.

My first night at the palace was terrible and I'd been jolted awake at least five times during the night.

I finally gave up on sleep some minutes before five am.

I found a bag of toiletries, some underwear, a dress and some flats on a chair in the room.

Getting out of bed, I checked my phone and saw that I had a couple of messages, one from Clara and a couple from the Prince.

Declan apologised again for marking me and wants to make it up to me, then asked if I could join him for breakfast at 8:10 am.

"Lyla , my beautiful mate, I am so sorry, I marked you the way I did.

I promise you I am not a douche, I just lost control. Please can you forgive me?"

"Lyla, I know we just met and I marked you suddenly, but you are already the center of my life and my heart beats for you. I promise to make it up to you.

Please don't be so mad at me, I am sorry."

"Baby, please can you join me and my family for breakfast at eight ten. I swear I am not trying to rush you into anything, its just that breakfast is a tradition.

Its this morning after thing we do the day after we find our mate.

Please say you'll be here."

I sighed and sent him a response that I'll be there for breakfast.

Clara also sent me a message about joining the royal family for breakfast at ten minutes past eight this morning. Also informing me that she will be with me at 7am to help me get ready.

And that she'd also sneaked in a book about Royal etiquettes for my reading pleasure.

Interesting, I mused to myself, already feeling like Cinderella.

I just needed a glass slipper, fairy godmother, and a royal ball to complete the picture.

Clara, true to her words came in at seven am, and helped me get ready.

The dress was a navy blue knee length number, that made me feel really good and confident about myself.

That is until I reached the stairs leading to the dinning room and my nerves skittered, as they threatened to get the best of me.

My cheeks tinged pink and I felt the desperate need to disappear and not be here, to be faraway from the gazes or scrutiny of the royal family.

I was hyperventilating and panicking at the same time.

Clara squeezed my shoulder in an attempt to help calm my nerves, but that didn't help at all.

I stood at the top of the stairs,but refused to look down, my flight mode was almost overwhelming.

But Clara was right behind me, her presence urging me to keep going.

As I began to descend the stairs, I felt him, his eyes on me, he was walking towards the bottom of the stairs to meet me.

Goose bumps erupted on my skin as a shiver raced through my spine.

Now, he was at the bottom of the stairs, looking like my favorite dream come through.

Goddess, how can this s*x god be all mine? I asked myself.

As I got closer to him I noticed the migraines that had dulled to headaches were rapidly disintegrating, dissolving into an almost nonexistent throbbing, by the time I reached him.

He pulled me into a hug.

***

Breakfast was nice, his sister the princess was really friendly, and I struggled to reconcile, the image of a very important princess, with an Icy regal unapproachable presence in public, being this playful.

Her mate Sebastian was a bulky all muscled fella, He's cool.

I also realised that the king is a morning person.

I also noticed that being away from Declan physically wasn't good for my peace of mind and well being .

I found that I need physical contact with him as often as possible, as it pushes the migraine and the constant tiredness away.

We walked hand in hand in silence as we entered an entertainment room on the other side of the royal quarters. It was a long walk.

I guess I'll have to get used to it, the palace was a sprawling humongous building and I wondered how everything aspect of it was kept so organised.

The entire royal quarters, that catered to the king and his circle, the prince and his circle the princess and her mate, was bigger than two huge malls put together.

Once we crossed the threshold into the room, a blur that looked like Gaille launched itself at me, just as I heard a low warning growl.

Yup, Its Gaille alright, we hugged each other tightly , and when we separated she was crying.

"I am so sorry I didn't know what they had planned, I am sorry I let them lead you to him just like that" she explained and pleaded with me.

"Gaille its fine, he is my mate, its okay.

But why didn't you call me, I was worried about you."

I scolded her a little.

"Trey wouldn't let me, he said you needed time". We hugged each other again, I was sooooo happy that in this whole new life I found myself in and in my transition to all of this I would have my best friend with me.

The introductions were finally done, after the emotional moment with Gaille.

I met Declans betas, Gabriel and his mate Nikki, Fonsi and his mate Meghan.

Then his gammas Max and his mate Anna, Killian and his mate Esme.

Trey I knew already.

"so how has the bigbad wolf been treating you?" Esme asked with a smirk on her face.

"Not so great" i answered, and he looked at me with, wait was that hurt?

I laughed at my answer along with Esme. Everyone was great and we would have time to get to know one another better in the future.

But after an hour or more chatting, I couldn't take it anymore the chattering was making my migraine worse. My eyes would sometimes get blurry and my ears would just start ringing then pop and stop.

I had been sitting on a couch with Gaille.

I didnt want to be near him, cause I didn't want to seem like a needy mate.

I spared him a rare glance, he was in a serious conversation with Gabriel and max.

I swallowed hard everything freaking hurts, my eyes watered as I shivered from the pain.

"Lyla, you don't look so good, what's wrong?" Esme asked as Gaille sucked in a sharp breath after checking my body temp with the back of her palm.

Declan was immediately in front of me. He looked worried as he lifted me into his arms bridal style and moved.

He seemed like he was running but it felt like a blur, I guess he was using vamp speed.

He took me to a bedroom I hadn't been in before and laid me on the bed.

"What is happening to me?" I asked

He bit back a grimace as he sat on the edge of the bed, and gingerly, pushed my now loose hair away from my face.

"sweetheart, Its your abilities trying to take hold and manifest, they have been suppressed for a longtime, and your body feels like its going through a wringer."

He whispered while playing with my hair, a tender look on his face.

I bit my lips and squeezed my thighs together as a stupid silly thought crossed my mind.

He got up and took off his clothes leaving just his boxers on.

"I need to help with your body temperature, it needs to drop." He explained as he pulled back the covers and joined me in bed, his skin was icy cold as he pulled me into his body.

Oh my goddess these sparks are crazy, and they feel soooo good, like little electric charges warming me up.

I sighed and relaxed into him as sleep took over my exhausted body .

*****

Thump, thump, thump.

I could hear the fast pump of blood, going through his veins, I was sooo tasty for his blood, Its like i needed it for my next breath.

I was breathing, but my eyes were still closed, like i was still asleep but conscious at the same time, maybe this is how my hypnopompic state is.

Then I felt his lips on the side of my face, Sparks racing down the spot to my neck. "Baby , I need you to open your mouth" he said, his lips still paying attention to my Cheek, neck and ear.

I did as i was told and the most amazing taste hit my buds.

I almost choked on it, when i realised he was giving me his blood, but I couldn't stop and instead, instictively took his wrist and sunk my now sharp canines into it .

He cooed and soothed me softly as i drank my fill, then whined when he withdrew his wrist.

"Damn baby you were really tasty."he said chuckling .

My eyes flickered open and I found myself staring into his deep blue orbs, my breath caught and my heart began to pound in my chest. The I felt something click into place, like I just completed a blood oath or something, not so sure about that though.

I have never felt, done or experienced anything like this before.

"You're finally awake my love," he said and I scrunched my forehead and asked "Finally?"

His face split into the most beautiful smile i have ever seen on a man.

"You've been asleep since yesterday, so can I get you some food ?

"Oh goddess yes." I said shyly

"we'll eat and talk?, okay?" he asked

"Yes." I said nodding my head , while refusing to meet his eyes.
