The Pack's Doctor

Chapter 177 Chapter 177

Kier

When Arianna said she had an announcement, my heart stopped. My mate isn't one to stand in front of people and speak much less the entire pack. So I knew it was important.

When she turned to look at me, I could barely breathe. I was terrified that I'd miss something or misunderstand something that she was saying. Then, she said she accepted me. She said the words that I've been waiting to hear for over a year. She wants me. I can't even believe she thought she had to ask if I still wanted her.

I probably shouldn't have kissed her like that in front of everyone, but thankfully, she didn't seem to notice that the entire pack began cheering for us.

When I finally dragged myself away from the kiss, I brushed the tears off of Arianna's cheeks. "I have wanted you from the moment I first smelled your lavender and chamomile scent. From the moment that I first laid eyes on you, there has never been anyone else for me."

I kissed her again, more quickly this time as I could feel the pack pushing in to congratulate us. First was Alpha Quirin and Luna Kennedy. Since Luna already knew about us, she just smiled her knowing smile and congratulated us.

'We'll talk more later. I need to get Kennedy settled, but I can't believe you kept this from me, Alpha Quirin said in the mind link.

I wasn't willing to do anything that would scare Arianna away, and my Alpha can be one hell of a scary man, sometimes without even trying.

After he took Luna Kennedy upstairs, the pack congratulated us. I kept Arianna tucked against me, partly because I'm desperate to touch her now that everyone knows that we're mates, but partly because I know this is a lot for her and I don't want her to feel overwhelmed. Even Luna's family and Henry congratulated us.

We've just made the rounds when Alpha Quirin returns.

"Is my daughter asleep, Alpha?" Luna Yara asks.

"She is, Luna. She's resting comfortably now," he says, before turning to me. "Take the night off. Go be with your mate."

I look at Arianna, desperately wanting to complete our bond now that she's accepted me, but I know that the pack needs a leader and Alpha Quirin still needs to be with Luna Kennedy.

"Alpha, I know Luna needs you .....”

"Kier, one thing I've learned through all of this, is that you never put anyone above your mate. Kennedy is in the packhouse. I'll know if she wakes up. Luna Yara is here if I need her. Go be with your mate. You've waited a long time for this day. Go enjoy it," he says.

"Thank you, Alpha," I say, turning to Arianna. "Will you come with me?"

She nods, looking shy and embarrassed. I take her hand and lead her upstairs. Most of the pack wish us goodnight as we go. It's strange feeling the difference in the pack. A year ago, I'd probably have been scoffed at for taking an omega as a mate and she might have had warriors try to bully her. I wouldn't have allowed it, but men like Arlo and Slater would have gotten their jabs in when I wasn't around. Now, however, the pack feels like they not only accept our bond, but are glad that we've finally come together.

When we get to my room, I can feel her hesitation. I know tonight, if we can complete our bond, will be difficult for Arianna. I'm willing to take whatever time she needs. She's accepted me. That's the most important thing.

"Thank you for accepting me," I say, shoving my hands in my pockets as we both stand in my bedroom.

"Thank you for being so patient with me," she says,

"What made you finally decide?" I ask, curious to know why now. What did I do right that made her finally see that I'm a good enough man for her to accept?

"I've been thinking about it for a while, thinking about how kind, loving, and caring you are, not just with me, but with the entire pack. And then, when I was talking to Christy yesterday, it just clicked for me. There's no reason for me to keep waiting. What am I waiting for? I love being with you. I feel safe with you. When something upsets me, it's you that I seek out to help me feel better. I hope it's okay that I told the entire pack" she says.

As she's been talking, I've slowly moved closer to her, wanting her in my arms again.

"I love that you claimed me in front of the pack. I love that you feel safe with me and that you come find me when you're upset, I want to be everything for you. I want everything with you," I say, wrapping my arm around her waist and pressing her against me, while running my fingers over her cheek and into her hair. "I love you and no matter what happens tonight, I want you with me forever."

She frowns. "What do you mean, no matter what happens tonight?"

"I know it might be too much for you to complete our bond. I want you to know right now that I understand and it's okay if you aren't comfortable with that."

She reaches up, taking my face in her hands. "I do want that. I want your mark on my neck so I can proudly show off that my mate is the amazing Beta Kier. I want our pack and the world to know that I'm yours and you're mine," she says, making Rowd growl possessively.

"You ARE mine, whether my mark is on you or not. But I will be much happier when my mark is on your pretty neck," I tell her.

As desperate as I am for her, I take my time, kissing her and slowly stripping her blouse and bra off of her. We've shared some intimacy, kissing and touching, but I've never pushed it, never wanted to give her a reason to not trust me.

I kiss my way down her neck and chest before kneeling in front of her, taking off her shoes, then slowly pulling her pants and panties down. I slide my hands up her thighs, taking a deep breath of her lavender and chamomile scent, the scent that makes my head spin and my heart settle.

She slides her fingers into my hair, watching me as I breathe in her scent. I lean forward, kissing the spot where her thighs come together.

"I'll be back for more of you later," I growl softly, before kissing my way back up her body as she chuckles at me.

I slide my hands over her backside and up her back as I kiss my way up her stomach to her breasts. I wrap my arms around her, leaning her back as I suck first one, then the other nipple into my mouth, slowly swirling my tongue in circles until her nipples are hard peaks and her moans of pleasure are filling my ears.

"You're wearing too many clothes," she whimpers, her eyes still closed.

I hold her with one arm, pulling my shirt over my head with the other, unwilling to stop touching her. I've had my shirt off before with her, but that's as far as we've gone.

I carefully reach down, picking her up bridal style and carrying her to the bed, pressing my lips to hers as I lay her down. I kick off my own shoes, then lie down beside her, gently stroking my fingers over her body as we kiss. When I feel her body. shiver, I pull back and look at her.

"Are you cold?"

She shakes her head no. “Actually, I feel very warm.”

I prop my head on my hand, looking down at her. "You're so beautiful," I tell her, while I let my fingers run over her body. "How are you doing? Is this okay?" I ask, looking back up at her.

She smiles at me. "It would be better if you were naked ton"

Her chocolate brown eyes are full of trust and love

"I don't want to scare you Again, if anything is too much, we'll stop"

She nods again and I reluctantly leave her to get off the bed and strip off my pants and boxers. Her eyes widen and I catch the faint hint of fear in her scent when she sees my cock standing at attention, so I don't move. I wait for her to tell me if this is too much

Finally, her eyes meet mine and she taps the bed beside her. "Are you coming back to bed?

I smile and crawl beside her again, returning to my previous position of being on my side with my head propped on my hand while looking at her body and skimming my hands over her.

When I slide my hand over her stomach, she slowly spreads her legs for me. I look back at her face. Her breathing has hitched, but I'm not sure if that's with excitement or fear, maybe a little of both.

I hold her gaze as I slide my hand over the apex of her thighs, feeling her wet heat. I moan at the feel of her, wet for me even with her nervousness about

tonight.

She gasps as I slide my fingers on either side of her clit, putting just enough pressure to make her feel good. I know from our previous conversations that she's never had an orgasm, has no idea how good sex should feel. So I take my time, rubbing my fingers over her clit as I watch her face, seeing what she likes and doesn't like.

Because she's pressed against me, I can feel her body tensing, feel her responding to my touch. When she cries out in pleasure, her face looking shocked at the feeling of her first orgasm, I growl possessively. This is the first of many orgasms that I'll give her in our life together. Her orgasms, all of them, belong to me. Just me.

I lean down and kiss her, gently bringing her down before I sit up to look at her again, checking to make sure that she's okay.

"Are

are we done?" she asks. She's so sweet and so shy.

"Oh, my beautiful little mate, we're just getting started."
