Emotions Take Over
Alexander’s POV
Damnit. No one should have ever found out; a dark past should have remained locked away. Katie looked at me like she hated me, it broke my heart. Everything about this was gut-wrenching. I didn’t care how much older I was, what all I’ve done in the past, nothing, not a single thing mattered to me more than Katie. I love her. I made it to the fifth floor and her cries broke me. Katie was here alone crying her eyes out. I was running to her before I even knew it, my feet slammed into the ground one after another. Her doors were broken and partially ripped down when I reached her room, those damn twins. Of course, they had to do this; it's just who they are.
“Katie!” I called for her as I walked into her room. She didn’t even bother responding to me with words, her eyes said all that was needed. Katie sat there curled into a ball on her bed with her eyes bloodshot from the tears that rushed out like water escaping a dam. Those perfect teal eyes were ruined by secrets we kept. It hurt seeing her like this, it hurt knowing I could have prevented this.
“Why?” She said between cries as she looked at me before launching a pillow at my face. I dodged it easily and made my way to her. She was broken and I wasn’t sure if I could do anything to fix it, but I had to try. I couldn’t just let her sit here dehydrating herself with the number of tears that escaped. I sat down on her bed and wrapped my arms around her, a part of me expected to be pushed away and yet she pulled me closer. My hands ran through her hair as she cried tears of confusion against my chest, confused about why she never knew.
“Katie, we thought it would keep you safe,” I told her as she stayed there pressed against my chest. Rose and Damian made me promise our past was simply that, our past. It would never be anything more than a dark stay on werewolf history. Something that we would all three take to our graves as with no heir to the throne found no civil war would be caused.
“Your mother and father wanted to shield you from the life of royalty. Damian was put through so much as the prince and it almost cost him your mother. He was scared of the throne as a kid, we all were. I would have been his right hand and your mother his queen. Instead, we destroyed the throne. We destroyed that way of life for werewolves. North America has been better without a king ruling it.” She looked up at me as if she knew being kept in the dark was for her safety but that she still hated it. I kissed her forehead and released her from my arms. Her doors were all but gone. She couldn’t stay in a room like this, not without doors. I picked her up and headed towards the hall.
“Alex.” she gasped, shocked that I was taking her from her room. I didn’t care if she was upset with me, I wanted her safe and a room without doors was not safe.
“You can stay in my room while the doors get replaced.” I took off towards my room without even a fight from Katie. She knew I was right and that I was doing this to protect her. Minus one day everything I’ve done has been out of my feelings for her since she’s grown up. She may not see it now but when she does, she will finally know why I am the way I am about her.
“Thank you” she whispers as she glances around looking for pack members. Thankfully it was before lunch so the pack wouldn’t be inside. Everyone would be at work or outside training for another few hours. Damian planned this perfectly in terms of when to tell those that he did. I didn’t bother replying to her, I just smiled at Katie while she was in my arms. This felt so right, everything about her being this close to me just felt perfect.
We finally made it to my room, I unlocked the door and walked in closing it behind us. It wasn’t as grand as her room but that’s fine I didn’t care. I turned a light on with my right hand and then carried Katie to my bed where I sat her down. Her eyes were wide as she looked around. There wasn’t much to my room, it was white with black trim and red bedding. I had a red couch and black bookshelf but that was it aside from my dresser. I didn’t care about décor or anything else, just some books I enjoy.
“Alexander, I've never been in your room.” She looked at me as she climbed off the bed and headed to the bookshelf. Her eyes lit up like a kid in the world's largest candy shop as she pulled a book from the shelf, Brother’s Grimm. She ran back to my bed and jumped onto it holding the book in her hands. It was cute how she just seemed to lose her entire train of thought by seeing one book, a cute bookworm in my room. What were the odds? I smiled and sat on my bed next to her, my back resting against the headboard.
“A fan, are you?” She was looking the book over with a smile growing across her face. Her fingers ran across the worn edges and the pages of the book as she flipped through it. I don’t know why such an old book brought her joy, hopefully, she doesn’t damage it though as it’s a first edition.
“It’s my favorite book. I wouldn’t have thought you would have it.” She looked at me, her eyes sparkling with joy, the tears may not have gone long but I was glad they were. I hated seeing her cry.
“It’s a first edition and my favorite book.” I told her as she all but jumped in joy. How did I miss that she loved this book so much? If I would have known, then I would have gifted this to her yesterday for her birthday.
“I-” before I could finish what I was going to say Katie moved over and kissed me on the lips. Sparks. Fire. Burning passion. Her lips on mine felt insane as I kissed her back with a moan escaping my throat. Her eyes were locked on me briefly before she closed them and kept kissing me.
It felt amazing. She felt amazing. I grabbed the book from her, tossing it onto the floor. My hands were around her waist pulling her against me as we sat there making out. It was like I was burning up each time our lips connected. She moaned some as I pulled her on top of my lap. My dick was rock hard under her as she sat on top of me. Damn it.
“Ka-Katie” I got her attention between sweet-savory kisses of passion. “Wait.” I pleaded with her, but my body had other plans. My hips pressed up against her as my hands ran down her lower back. Fuck. Her body felt good even through the baggy clothes. I bit her lip this kiss begging her to not pull from me. I wanted her in every way and that’s all I could think about. Growling I flipped over forcing Katie beneath me as my hips ground down against hers.
“Alex.” She said as I kissed her again my hard dick pressed against her thigh. Please don’t ask me to stop, anything but that.
“Should we even-” I kissed her to stop her from talking. Please don’t say it, just don’t damnit. I forced my tongue into her mouth as she lay there under me. As my tongue explored every inch of her mouth, I felt her hips press up into mine making my dick twitch.
“Katie, I don’t want to stop. I want to keep going, I want you.” I beg her as she looks at me. Please say you want it too. Please let me keep going. She lays there as I lean in to kiss her again but stop. Bang bang. Who in the fuck is at my door? Damnit. I roll off Katie and adjust my dick, so it isn’t as noticeable. I pulled the door open to see Dylan standing there pissed. Why must it be him who fucking cockblocks me? I growl as he pushes his way into my room. So, we are doing this now, are we?
“Katie let's go.” He moves to my bed to pull her from it, but I stop him. My room. My bed. The girl of my dreams. I pushed him away from her and my bed. I was done letting this brat toy with her.
“She’s staying here!” I shout at him. No one would be around to hear and that was perfectly fine by me.
“Katie.” He said again as if she would obey him like a puppy. It made me sick just thinking about her leaving with him. No. It made me sick knowing he stayed in her room. I shoved him again at the thought of him in bed with her.
“Stop!” Katie yelled at us. It was us, right? She wasn’t just yelling at me? I looked at her as she sat there, it was written on her face as plain as day. She was unsure of what to do and who to stand beside. I’d say that hurt but nothing hurt worse than knowing she was in bed with him last night. Dylan smirked as if he knew what I was thinking so I met his smirk with my fist. Fuck him. This damn brat and his annoying face. Katie rushed to his side and stared at me with an unfamiliar look in her eyes.
“I’ll go.” The two words I hoped she wouldn’t say. Katie was willing to leave with him even after what we were about to do. My head was all types of messed up from the mixed signals going on.
“Dylan, I’ll catch up to you please.” She told him as she pushed him out of my room. Her eyes fell on me like a lion on its prey. It was as if she had me right where she wanted me and there was nothing I could do.
“Alexander.” She walked up to me and kissed my cheek as I held my breath preparing for more than a peck on the cheek. “Me and Dylan didn’t sleep together as in having sex.” That was the last thing she said as she walked out of my room shutting the door in my face.
