Alpha Crimson's Unpredictable Mate

Chapter 19

Awaking with a start, a certain young woman's body shot forward on the huge comfortable bed she was laying on. It was mixed with her lustful scent as well as her mate's strong scent. Her hands frantically patted down her body before she released a silent prayer, thanking the Gods for still being dressed in her nightgown. 

'I. Can't. Fucking. Believe. Myself' Kaira screamed in her mind and without hesitating, a loud 'SMACK' echoed off the walls as she slapped herself. Hard. 

"Ow!" Kaira cried out in pain and caressed her red cheek with tears brimming her eyes. 

Within seconds, she heard footsteps run into the bedroom and looked up to see Leighton standing in the center of the bedroom, her sharp gaze assessing the room for any threats. 

Upon sensing no other person, Leighton stared at her new sister who had climbed off the bed and was caressing a slightly swollen cheek. 

"Oh my God, are you okay? What happened?" Leighton questioned with worry and confusion etched onto her gentle features. 

"Ahh...I slapped myself...I was just so happy, you know, waking up in Alpha Crimson-- I mean Kayden's, bedroom and I had to slap myself to believe it" Kaira lied effortlessly but couldn't help but let out a nervous laugh.

Leighton looked at her surprised before giving her a mischievous smile as she looked Kaira up and down. She whistled through her lips and gave Kaira a smirk that was eerily similar to her older brother. 

"Damn, girl! You're hot! I'm pretty sure my brother couldn't keep his hands off you last night, huh? No wonder he was late to work this morning! Mom and I were shocked, he's never ever woken up past 5 am, in fact, he usually has sleeping problems and doesn't sleep much. But you know what they say, men are most vulnerable and tired after doing that all night," Leighton shamelessly remarked as Kaira's cheeks instantly heated up and her hands flew up to cover her chest. She was beginning to see the resemblance between Leighton and her mate, truly it was uncanny. 

"What! No, we didn't--wait," Kaira began to deny her remarks but paused when Leighton's words suddenly registered in her mind. 

'Alpha Crimson slept longer because of me? But why? Last night, I didn't even pleasure him...but he still slept longer than he usually does? Wait, what if I did pleasure him? Would he let his guard down, thinking he won this battle and then I could use that to my advantage and run away as soon as he fell into a deep sleep?' Kaira's brain couldn't help but calculate her next plan and a devious smirk made its way onto her face. 

Leighton suppressed a shiver when she noticed the evil glint in Kaira's eyes but quickly shook her head. She must've seen it wrong, there's no way her innocent new sister would have such an evil expression on her sweet face. 

"Anyways, get dressed! Kay went to a meeting with the council and told mom and I to take care of you and make sure you eat breakfast. He's already so whipped, he cares about you the most!" Leighton pouted and didn't notice Kaira subtly rolling her eyes in annoyance. 

'Oh please, the man just doesn't want me to escape. I don't need babysitters!' Kaira muttered softly under her breath with an annoyed expression but quickly masked her true feelings and nodded towards her mate's sister. 

"You go down first, I'll be down in a few minutes after I shower," Kaira hurried into the master bedroom's bathroom and repeatedly scrubbed her body under the smoldering hot water. She wanted to get rid of his touch from last night that seemed to still linger all over her skin.

Kaira ate her breakfast peacefully with Katherine and Leighton before asking the younger girl to bring her for a tour around their whole territory. Both women had released giggles at Kaira's request to which she frowned at them and looked at them in confusion.
