My Sweet, Tyrant Lycan Mate

Chapter Thirteen

Experiencing the Fire

Lily’s POV

“Wait, what?” My jaw dropped.

Before any news of a hundred maids being offered to the Lycan King was even a thing, we were always told that he was the last remaining lycan. His people were wiped out decades ago and that was the reason why he opened his castle doors–to exact revenge,

But was it possible that they still existed?

I looked at the Lycan King with a confused look but he shrugged me off.

I had more questions but it was clear that he wouldn’t answer them–not yet at least.

Instead, the Lycan King grabbed my hand and began to lead me away. I looked over at those who were treating Alex when I caught glimpse of Alpha Leo.

His eyes bore into the back of the Lycan King’s head. There was no mistaking the fires of hatred that burned in them.

Still, I just hoped that Alpha Leo wouldn’t try to do anything too rash.

Even if his pack is powerful, they haven’t seen what I have… They haven’t seen what the Lycan King is capable of.

The walk back to the villa was quiet and I found myself at ease. I looked up at the Lycan King, observing his indifferent features.

I wonder what I can do to make him happy… or at least more comfortable. Even though I’m wolfless, having a Fire Wolf has to feel like literal hell.

When we got back to the villa, he picked me up like I was his bride and took me up the stairs. He opened the door to our spacious master bedroom and threw me onto the bed.

My cheeks started to warm up as I looked into the Lycan King’s eyes. There was a hint of desire in them as he slowly made his way to the bed.

He crawled onto the bed and hovered over me for a few moments. After that, he took me into his arms and buried his head into the crane of my neck.

The Lycan King’s shaggy hair tickled me and I couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

His arms around me tightened as he growled.

“If you laugh at me again like that, I’ll kill you.”

He moved his head out of my neck and looked at me. I held his gaze and raised an eyebrow.

Although he “threatened” me, I sensed a hint of playfulness behind his eyes.

The Lycan King let out another huff as he buried his head in the crane of my neck again.

I stretched my arm out and slowly caressed his back. Surprisingly, he didn’t seem to mind it. I tested my newfound courage and began to stroke his hair with my free hand.

Another low growl vibrated the back of the king’s throat and tickled my neck slightly. I could tell that he enjoyed what I was doing. So, I continued as we laid in silence for a few minutes.

“Your Majesty?” I was the first to break the silence.

“Hm?”

“What does living with the Fire Wolf feel like? I mean… Aside from your abnormally high body temperature and irritability, it can’t be all bad, right?”

The Lycan King was silent for a few moments as if contemplating how to respond. It was odd because usually, he was the one to give an honest answer straight away.

“Do you want to know what it feels like?”

I blinked in disbelief, his question caught me off guard. “Is that possible?”

He nodded his head against my neck. “I could establish a mindlink with you. You would get to feel exactly everything that I do.”

I laid there for a few moments thinking about it. I had never experienced a mindlink before and was hesitant about how it was supposed to work.

Still, the Lycan King seemed to be more at ease around me, and despite his brutality, he’s shown me some tenderness.

Maybe I can trust this process…

I looked at the Lycan King and nodded my head. “You know what, yeah. I want to know.”

The Lycan King sat up and pulled my face close to his. He then pressed our foreheads together and took a deep breath.

After a few moments, I was a little skeptical about the mindlink working. I thought maybe that the Lycan King just wanted to mess with me and was lying about the whole thing.

But within a matter of seconds after casting my doubts, a searing pain started to burn my head. It was like someone had lit my brain on fire.

At that moment, I finally understood why the Lycan King was the way he was. Any other person should’ve been dead, yet he pushed through this literal hell every day.

The pain overwhelmed me and I blacked out but this time, I had a dream. Well, a nightmare.

I was looking out of the bedroom’s balcony to see a hellish fire consume the land for miles on end. Smoke blotted out the sun, making the skies black with the only source of light coming from the red flames.

The nightmare didn’t last long and it felt like I was being pulled away from my dream. I soon opened my eyes to see the Lycan King’s face in a relaxed state.

“Now you know.” His voice was low as his eyes met mine.

I can’t believe it… THAT is what he has to deal with every day? How does he do it? Why does he do it?

There has to be a way I can take that pain away from him. No one deserves to experience that.

“You know…” The Lycan King’s voice interrupted my thoughts. “Pain isn’t the only thing that’s amplified because of the Fire Wolf…”

I saw that same hint of desire in his eyes from earlier and I knew what he meant.

“Would you like to experience that, too?”

Unable to form the words to respond, I simply nodded my head.

The Lycan King pressed his forehead against mine again. As the pain came rushing back, I was shocked to feel his lips kiss me tenderly.

A sudden wave of pleasure rippled throughout my body and I couldn’t help it when a moan escaped my lips. Although it still felt like my head was on fire, his tender touch mixed well with the pain I felt.

He pulled his lips from mine and raised an eyebrow. “May I continue?”

I nodded my head again.

When the Lycan King went in for another kiss, this time, his tenderness was replaced with a passion that almost matched the flames I saw in my nightmare.

My heartbeat wildly against my chest as his hands began to explore my body, running up the length of my thigh, up the curve of my waist, and cupping my breast.

He then placed his thigh against my entrance as he gently began to rub against me.

The pain of the Fire Wolf mixed with the pleasure from the Lycan King’s touch.

Never did I think that I’d experience this kind of pleasure… and from the Lycan King of all people.

And I think I want more…
