Mated to A Rival Alpha-Chapter 307: You Give Me Life, Love

[RANIA]

The first mating night was always something that mates looked forward to. It was a time when they could consummate their bond and relax in their love with the blessing of the moon goddess and the universe.

However, that wasn’t the case for Kaia and his mate. It was something they wished for, but that was all that could be accorded to them. Simple wishes. Wishes that would probably take a while to make real and frankly, it was haunting in so many ways.

"Come, let’s sleep," Kaia said to his beloved when he noticed that she had been silent the whole time.

She had been looking out the windows, trying to figure out what it was that Odelia had been thinking of and why Odelia had been so certain. It was obvious that her mind was filled with so many things and Rania wanted to be free of them.

"Yeah, sure," Rania responded as she looked at her new beloved.

Kim Rania had grown to develop a liking for Kaisei Seto over the years and months and she wasn’t worried when she was with him.

She knew that she was safe but that wasn’t enough because she knew that she had dragged him into her battle that would without a doubt end up with them cursed in so many ways.

Rania just wished that things had been different, but how would they be, when the whole time, there wasn’t a single clue as to what she needed to do?

It was like she had been born, and thrust into leadership, forced into responsibilities. And now she was out for the blood of the man she had loved for so long, not to mention the fact that chaos was coming at a really faster rate.

"Let me help you," Kaia offered when he saw Rania staring at herself in the mirror.

It wasn’t hard for him to tell that she was still preoccupied and while he wanted her to ease herself to him, he knew that it would take a while for him to actually get her to end up with him, completely.

She always had her walls up unless she was with Dalrae and she couldn’t be blamed. Granted, it was a challenge, but this was one that Kaisei Seto was more than willing to get into without so much as a second thought.

"Thank you," Rania said, as she arched her back when she felt Kaia come closer to her.

She knew that the mate bond would have its side effects and having Kaia so close to her was already making her brain feel fuzzy. She had so many things she wanted to do, but she knew that this wasn’t the time.

She didn’t have the strength to face him, now when she wasn’t ready to actually pen up to him.

Kaia looked at the woman who was standing before him, her back arched toward him. She was his dream and he would protect her with all that he had. He would make a bargain with the deities themselves if that was all it would take to make sure his beloved was safe.

His beasts agreed with him on that, because they, more than anyone, cared for the broken girl who was slowly fixing herself up.

Kaia could smell Rania’s Lavender scent and it was pulling him in so much that he couldn’t think of anything else other than her. He wanted more, he wanted to breathe her in more, and with her back on his chest, he knew this was the perfect chase for him.

"Butterfly—" Kaia let out slowly when he felt Rania lean into him. He knew could easily lose control with her, and she didn’t want that. Then again, Rania knew that too, but she did quite think like him.

If anything, she was teasing him, testing his control, which was clearly thinning by the hour. It wasn’t fair, but since when had whatever they had done ever been fair to themselves anyway?

"Kai," Rania whispered breathily as she turned to face Kaia.

She could see the storm in his eyes and the emotions he was trying to fight back. She could tell that he had very little control left, and if she pushed a little more he would snap, and the universe would know what it meant to have two psychos mated.

"You smell so damn good," Kaia said when Rania rested her head on his shoulders making sure to close the distance between them to the point that he could feel her tits on his chest.

Somehow she had managed to release herself of the gown and had stripped while he was still trying to find a way to come to terms with this, without coming off as a perverted mate who only wanted to get laid.

Then again, with Rania, there was a long list of things that they considered impossible, though was this one of those too?

"This feels good. Just where, with you, resting on your shoulder. It’s been a while since I was this free," Rania voiced, her eyes closed as she tried to make the most of the moment that she was having.

She knew that it would be a while before they both navigated their mate bond, but she had to acknowledge they Kaia Seto did give the best hugs. Though after the previous night and after learning that he was her new mate, she finally understood what all that had been.

It was like their souls had long been calling for each other and the night of her birthday was the one that made everything come to light, trying their souls together, one last time.

"I can tell you’re worried about tomorrow and the future, my little wolf," Kaia began and Rania just nodded. She never had to hide how she felt whenever she was around Kaia and with their mate bond, she was finally without restraints, not that there had ever been.

"Not right now, though. I am worried about what could happen if we just tell the word to fuck itself...

"Of course, while we consummate the bond," Rania said nonchalantly like she didn’t just dare the big bad barbarian of the realm to a mission she knew would take more control from him.

But then she also knew what she was doing, she had to, because this wasn’t what she usually did, but then no one had ever been open about the relationship that Rania and Kaia had. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Baby," Kaia forced out, his breath hitching in his voice as the rate of his heart’s beats spiked, and Rani could hear the loud thumps in her ear.

She had never heard this from him, and it was so new, but she didn’t mind. After all, she was here, with her mate, and she was just enjoying the moment with him. If anything, they belonged together now anyway.

"I’m just saying," Rania defended, even though her heart was also beating so hard in her chest. She felt like it was about to rip from her chest and it would be hard to explain that at the end of the day anyway.

"Moya Krushka," Kaia said as he gently pulled Rania from the hug and sat her on her dressing table, just where they had been.

Her hair was ruffled up, from the dancing they had been doing, but as Kaia looked at her, he could swear he had never seen a woman so beautiful as the one in front of him.

Everything about her was perfect and she looked like her doom yet she was his lifeline at the same time. He had loved her for years, long before he even knew what it meant to have a mate or a beloved, and now that he had her, he wouldn’t let her go.

"Kai," Rania said, lifting her head so her eyes could be at the same level as her scarred mate’s.

She loved how he was scarred, because those scars were proof of the battles he had fought and won, and this time, Rania wanted to feel what they felt like. The scars along his face, under his chin, and the ones on his shoulder.

So she traced her hands carefully across his face, making sure to rub the scars as if to tell her mate that she was proud of him for winning one too many battles, however psychotic the battles had to have been.

For every scar she traced, Kim Rania dared to do the one thing that she had never imagined she would ever do, and it was something that didn’t just surprise her alone, but the barbarian himself.

She kissed his scars, peppering his face with light kisses as if they were meant to heal the scars. She knew this was a risk she was taking and that they would probably have a long night, but she wanted to let him know that she loved him, scars and all.

"Your scars are beautiful," Rania whispered as she traced the barbarian’s face.

She was proud of him, but the longer she traced and kissed Kaia’s face, the thinner his control got. She could see his eyes trained on her lips each time, and she swallowed thickly, daring to continue what she had started.

She didn’t meet his eyes though, because she knew there had to be a fire of desire burning so brightly in them, and they couldn’t even get to settle it.

"My little butterfly," Kaia breathed, closing his eyes as if to try and resin in control, but when he felt Rania’s lips on his, settled and doing nothing, he knew that he couldn’t take it anymore.

"Kiss me, Kai," Rania whispered against Kaisei’s lips and that was all it took for the barbarian to lose control.
