The Princess’s Broken Alpha

He was clearly not happy to go shopping and Kiarra found it amusing. They met a few wolves from his pack that worked there. The first place he dragged her to was to the phone store and it made her even more suspicious of what her aunt could have said to him. Vivienne might be aiding her with this little plan of hers but she still wasn't here for her finding a mate outside of the lineup they had picked. It would be even worse if she found out it was Zion Cartier.

She started to also notice something about him. He was unconsciously touchy. She chalked it up to his wolf liking the feel of his mate and she didn't complain. She twirled the rose gold phone in her hand before handing it to him. Zion looked at her quizzically. "Your number Alpha"

Zion typed his number in the phone and gave it back to her for her to save. She saved his number under "Sugar Daddy".

"Really?"

"You did buy the phone." she smiled at him mischievously.

He liked that she could be playful and wasn't as serious as he thought. She actually had a sense of humour. The mall was almost empty and they decided to head to the clothes store. He sat and waited quietly but complained greatly when she was finished that she took way too long to pick the outfits. He didn't understand why it took women such a long process to select clothes or anything for that matter. In the end he had demanded she take all the clothes when she was deciding which she wanted to buy just so they could leave the store. Kiarra also bought clothes for him as well which he didn't seem to appreciate but he'd survive.

They were heading through the mall and passing the lingerie store when she stopped to look at the selection advertised through the window.

"I'm not going in the lingerie store" he grumbled at her.

The sales attendant out at the front spotted them and hustled over to try and welcome them in. She was slim with her dark hair cut in a cute bob.

"Hi! Do you guys see anything you might like? I could show you a few pieces you'd love but to be honest you could pull off any" she flattered Kiarra trying to get them to enter the store.

"I would like to take a look around but my husband here is a little shy. I'm afraid he'd be uncomfortable" she ran her hand through his hair lovingly and he glared at her.

"Oh, I totally understand. Some men find it a little intimidating. How long have you two been married?" she inquired curious. Her name tag said Brianna,

"Brianna, that's such a beautiful name. We just came off our honeymoon. The wedding was amazing. My baby here went all out to make sure it was perfect. If it's one thing I can say it's that my husband loves me to death. He worships the very ground I walk on." Kiarra beamed adoringly at him.

The sales lady touched her chest and her eyes misted over.

"Oh my that's so sweet. It's clear it's precious what you two have. I can't wait to get married one day. I just hope my husband is as lovely as yours."

"Thank you"

"Does he have a brother?"

"Yes he does and he's just as charming as he is."

Zion wanted to laugh. Samuel is anything but charming.

You're enjoying this aren't you?

He mind linked her.

I don't know what you mean honey.

"I think I could take a peek. What do you think baby?" Kiarra made sure to enunciate the baby "I promise I'll be quick and you can even tell me what you like." she winked at him and smiled.

She is insufferable Zion thought as their eyes met.

"Sure why not."

The minute Zion entered the store he felt uncomfortable. Brianna rushed to show them a selection of items from comfortable to risque made from velvet, cotton, silk, lace and so on. He now knew way too much about women underwear, more than he needed to. Zion decided to go ahead and play her game.

He picked three of the most daring lingerie he'd ever seen. Holding up the black one first he handed it to Brianna.

"I think these are nice."

"They are! They would look fabulous on her"

He looked at Anastasia unsure.

"I don't know baby." he frowned "I can't quite picture you in these. Maybe you should try it on and we'll see if it's your style."

"Absolutely.The changing room is back there and you can let me know if you need any help."

Brianna jumped in animatedly.

Kiarra's eyes widened and her brows furrowed as she looked at the skimpy underwear. From the way he tilted his head to look at her she knew he was taunting her. She stood there unsure with it in her hand.

"Do you know how to put it on babycakes?" he asked.

It was all lace with tiny frills at the waist, completely see through and the back was a g-string. She couldn't wear that. He was looking at her expectantly as Brianna went on about the skimpy clothing. He raised an eyebrow at her as she fiddled with it a bit. She was clearly flustered.

He was about to call it a day when she twirled on her heels and headed to the changing rooms. She wasn't going to try it on was she? He highly doubted she would. He waited by the door thinking she would come out with some excuse fully clothed. It took a while and he heard shuffling but he still didn't believe she would change into the risque underwear. Not his huntress.

The door opened and he stared at her dumbstruck. Holy motherfucking shit. He looked on stunned and struggled. He couldn't find any words. Holy shit. He quickly closed back the door trying to get his thought process together breathing harshly. "You like it?"

What the hell had he gotten himself into?

"I guess I'll take it as a yes then" she shouted from the changing room.

Zion was quiet the entire time they went to the truck and she placed all their bags in the back. His face was deathly serious and she started to wonder if maybe she had taken it too far but he shouldn't have asked.

"Are you ok?" she asked trying to gage him.

"What do you feel like eating?" he ignored her question.

"I don't know you choose."

He nodded and headed further into the town stopping at an old restaurant painted in white with blue stripes. The sign read Casablanca and it reminded Kiarra of a ship. A tall grey haired man excitedly burst out the door with his arms open. "Zi!" he shouted extremely loud.

They came out of the truck to greet him. The minute she set food outside she knew and she looked questioningly at Zion.

"Relax" he told her " Emmanuel this is Anastasia and Anastasia this is Emmanuel"

Emmanuel was a vampire?
