The Day He Knelt, I Married a Don Novel

---- Chapter13 Alpha King Julian's POV The birthday celebration had finally come to an end. After catching up with Alpha Dorian, Luna Camilla, Breck, and his new mate Alexia, I found myself curled up beside my stunning mate in her bedroom. It still amazed me-she truly was the Golden Wolf. Her parents had given us their blessing. Her father had sensed from the start that she was meant to be mine. That was why he gently pushed her to come to the palace, under the pretense of training the she-wolves. She tried to get up, but I grabbed her hand, curious where she was headed.

She led me to the ensuite bathroom, inviting me in for a bubble bath. Who knew my shy mate had such a playful, seductive side? After soaking and sharing intimate conversation, we returned to her expansive king-sized bed. ---- I wore only my boxers; she was in a simple tank top and booty shorts. Watching her long caramel legs and ample curves stirred something fierce within me-I was eager to mark her as mine. Still, I wondered if she was truly ready for that step. We had both saved ourselves for our mates. Tonight, we would be each other's first.

I drew her close, sealing my lips to hers in a passionate kiss. Her hand glided over me, and I whispered, "Careful, kitten. Are you ready for this?" She moaned softly, continuing her teasing touch. I gently flipped her onto her back, pressing a harder kiss against her lips. Slowly, I peeled away her tank top and shorts before removing my boxers. 1 admired every inch of her flawless body as she sighed under my touch. 1 entered her slowly, easing through her barrier, careful to ---- let her adjust. As I made love to my queen, her voice called out my name -Julian.

The way it rolled from her tongue sent fire through me. She lifted her hips, signaling she was close. Finding her sweet spot at the nape of her neck, I sank my canines in, marking her as mine. She flipped us over, and just as I neared my release, she marked me in return with her bite. "Mine," she declared. "Yours," I replied. Iawoke to her resting her head on my chest. "Wake up, beautiful. Time to pack so I can take you to your new home." She smiled softly and kissed my lips.
