The Alpha King's Human Mate by HC Dolores

The Alpha King's Human Mate Chapter 65 Chapter 65 "Morning without you is a dwindled dawn." Emily Dickinson The next morning, I woke to Griffin's lips pressed to my neck, and his limbs tangled with mine. As he spoonedfrom behind, I could see the sun rays filtering in through the window, the snowy Canadian terrain lying just beyond the window.

"Good morning, little fox," Griffin whispered to me, his morning voice husky and deep.

Half-asleep, I registered two things: one, I'd had sex with Griffin last night - and for the first tever. Secondly, this was the first morning I'd woken up in a bed that wasn't empty. For as long as I'd been at the castle, Griffin had never been able to spend the momings with me. He'd disappear to do kingly business before the sun had cup.

Scratch that, this might be the first morning ever that I'm waking up in a bed with someone else.

It's not as if Iwas regularly sleeping around before Griffin. Chapter 65, "Good morning," I replied groggily. I managed to free one of my hands from Griffin's snug grip to rub my eyes. "I'm surprised you're still in bed with me" Pressed against me, Griffin rubbed circles on my back. "Oh, did you think this was a one-night-stand kind of deal, little fox?" He teased.

"Oh, definitely,' I replied, "I'm just waiting for you to turn your back so Ican grab my clothes and sneak out." (7 At that remark, Griffin growled playfully and attached his lips to the claiming bite. I couldn't stop the moan that escaped my mouth as tingly pleasure rocked through me.

"Careful," Griffin growled, but I could still hear the teasing tone in his voice, "I chased you down once. I don't mind doing it again, but I can't promise I'll let you get as far as last t~ or that the punishment will be as nice." Nice? I wouldn't call being pulled over someone's lap and spanked "nice." Of course, with the way he was sucking and lapping at the claiming bite, I wasn't able to actually form that thought.

Anything snarky or sarcastic that I wanted to say was lost in the translation of the pleasure rolling through my body.

It was almost unfair how much pleasure I got from just Griffin barely touching the bite. It's as if the bite was a direct line to the nerve ending in my clit. Part ofwondered if, given enough tand stimulation, Chapter 65 Griffin could makeorgasm just from touching the mark.

With a few more licks of his tongue, Griffin pulled away from the bite, his body still wrapped around me. "Once you passed out last night," Griffin said, and I could practically hear the smile in his voice, “I canceled my meetings for the morning. I didn't want you to wake up without me. I was worried you might be sore from last night." Even though Griffin had been inside ofjust hours ago, I still blushed at his response. No matter how comfortable we got with each other, he could still flusterjust as well as the first tI'd met him.

And once Griffin mentioned soreness, I realized he was right ~ I was sore, It wasn't unbearable, but whenever I shifted, I could feel a sharp ache between my legs.

Griffin must've seen the wince on my face because he said, "Letdraw you a bath, little fox. It'll help you feel better." With a kiss on my forehead, he untangled himself fromand headed into the bathroom.

I snuggled deeper into the blankets, feeling sof the heat loss from Griffin's absence.

J just had sex for the first time. And it was nothing like I ever expected it to be.

If you had askeda couple of months ago what my first twas going to look like, I would've told you that I'd probably lose my Chapter 65, virginity at college. I'd wait until I met someone I liked and trusted enough to consider my boyfriend, and then I would've just let it happen naturally.

But here I was, and that prediction couldn't have been further from the truth. I wasn't at college and I wasn't with shuman boyfriend. In the span of a month, my entire life had done a 360-degree turn. The life path I thought I was on before - the one that lead to an easy, human life — was a lie. My path didn't lead to a simple human life, it never had. 7 All paths led to Griffin. Ican't even bring myself to be upset about it either.

Part ofbalked at the idea that I'd given into Griffin and this new life so easily. I'd taken irreversible steps with him letting him claim me, letting him take my virginity. Yet, when I thought about doing those things with him, it only left a fuzzy, pleasant feeling in my chest.

He's starting to feel like home. (2 "The bath is ready for you, little fox," Griffin's voice interrupted my train of thought. I looked up to see him at the foot of the bed, bathed in the morning light. With an easy smile on his face and as naked as he was last night, he looked more serene than I'd ever seen him.

"What are you looking at, little fox?" Griffin asked, his head cocked to the side. Chapter 65, "Just you," I murmured back.

Griffin raised an eyebrow, and I could see a smirk beginning to form on his face. "Well, if you keep looking atlike this, I might have to make you a little sorer than you already are." Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.com, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! My cheeks went red at that and I averted my eyes. I didn't have a snarky reply to that, so instead, I began sitting up.

"What are you doing?" Griffin asked, immediately at my side.

"Well, you said the bath was ready," I said, "I want to get there before the water goes cold." Before my feet could touch the floor, Griffin had scoopedinto his arms, holdingbridal style. The movement was jarring and brought another wave of achiness between my legs.

"What are you -" "Did you really think I'd make my sore mate walk on her own after last night?" Griffin asked, a soft smile on his face. "Your feet aren't touching the floor today." He began striding into the bathroom, and | reluctantly wrapped my arms around his neck.

"That's sweet, but I don't think I'm that sore." "You're too sore to walk." Chapter 65, "Says who?" "Your mate," Griffin replied, a teasing smile on his face, "Regardless of what you feel, I've decided that you're too sore to walk." (= We entered the bathroom and he gently placedinto the large, jacuzzi-style tub. The hot water felt like instant relief on my entire body, including the sore parts. I leaned back instantly, letting out a sigh.

I peeked one eye open as Griffin climbed into the tub and positioned himself behind me. As large as Griffin was, sharing a tub would've been a cramped experience in a regular bathroom. However, this tub was large enough that it could've accommodated three or four people easily.

"Did you use scented oils in here?" I asked. The water smelled strongly of lavender, and that alone helped relax my muscles.

Griffin answered as he encircledin his arms from behind. "Yes," he said, and I could've sworn there was something bashful in his tone, "The staff used to add it when they prepared baths foras a child...1 thought you might like it." "I do," | hummed.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.com, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! You know, Griffin is probably used to having people draw his baths, not the other way around. It's weird to think about, but I just had a literal king draw my bath for me. Chapter 65, As I pondered that odd realization, Griffin grabbed a shampoo bottle and poured a dollop into his hands. “Lean back, little fox," he said, "Your hair needs to be wet before | put this on." I did as he instructed, and when I'd soaked my hair in the water, Griffin began massaging the shampoo into the locks.

There was a blush on my face the entire t— and not just because his hands in my hair felt dangerously good.

(

I'd never bathed with anyone else before, and doing so with Griffin (while he washed my hair) fel? M incredibly intimate. He was taking care ofin such a simple way. Not to mention, we were both completely bare and I could feel just about every part of him against me.

When it was tto rinse, he doused my hair with more water. "Close your eyes," he instructed, "I don't want you to get soap in them." He's even demanding and dominant in the bath.

Next was the conditioner - which followed almost exactly the sprocedure. "There's something I'd like to talk to you about, little fox," Griffin said as he worked the conditioner through my hair. To my surprise, he didn't make any blunders with the hair products — he didn't use too much shampoo or apply a bunch of conditioner to the roots. "Now that we've completed our bond in every way that we're supposed to," he started, "The final step is to make you my Queen - officially. With a coronation." Chapter 65, "Coronation?" I knew what a coronation was, and even so, I still found myself asking. I didn't know what a werewolf coronation was supposed to look like.

"Every Queen has a coronation," he explained. "It's a huge event. Most of the werewolf world will show up, or at least every Alpha in the world who is available to attend. There's a small ceremony where | will crown you, and then the rest is just a celebration." "That sounds...intense." Griffin dipped my head back to rinse out the conditioner, his fingers working through each section of my hair. "I suppose

it is," he said, "But it would be to celebrate you, little fox. To solidify your place besideas a ruler of this world. And this world would see that youre completely mine. Now and forever." I felt one of his fingers brush over the claiming bite. "I see," I said. The thought of standing in front of a bunch of powerful Alphas - maybe swho I'd just seen a month

~ ago didn't sound appealing. But it also didn't sound like something I could just pass on either. I couldn't really involve myself in all the werewolf diplomacy and meetings if I didn't even have the title to go with it, right? "It will also be a chance to see your family again," Griffin said, "Your family is part of the ceremony. Your father is an Alpha, so he'd be invited either way. But you'd also get to see your mother again too." Putting my biological mom and dad in the sroom for the first tin s Chapter 65, ix years? That sounds like a recipe for disaster.) The very thought of seeing my father again after what I'd learned at my mom's sent a a rush of anger through me. I hadn't even talked to him since I'd met Griffin. He knew I'd run away from Griffin, and he'd even textedwhile I was at my mother's, but I never replied. After the secrets he kept from me, I didn't have the energy to deal with him. Well...J guess this will be a family reunion to remember. (= mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
