GIVEN TO THE TWIN ALPHA KINGS - Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Alpha Ronan
Scentless, that is exactly how the second body smelt. It was drained of blood, almost completely, with the wrists slit. There were also needle puncture marks on her arms, possibly used to drain blood.
“This is some sick shit,” I spoke lowly to Kai, crouching beside the body. Blonde hair, green eyes, broken hands, and ligature marks around her slit wrists, around her waist and ankles. It was obvious that she had been restrained for some time.
“Line up,” Kai commanded the patrol team, the same one that had discovered the body. By the time we had gotten to the North Side, where the body was, it was dark in the woods and quiet. Not even the sounds of crickets or other small animals could be heard; it was like they knew the abomination that had happened, like the forest was grieving.
“I want the exact details of what happened, leading up to this discovery,” he instructed, his shoulders stiff and squared.
“When we did the first round on this side, there was nothing, not even anything suspicious outside the border,” one of the patrol guards answered, his voice firm.
“Go on,” I joined in, getting up.
“But on the second round, we made the grim discovery,” he finished, feet planted wide.
“How many minutes apart did you contact the rounds?” Kai pressed, stepping closer to the four men.
“45 minutes alpha,” another answered, bowing his head. That meant that there was plenty of time and a window for the body to be dumped without anyone spotting them. The darkness must have also acted as a very good cover.
“I see,” Kai stated. “Spread out, keep your eyes and ears open and every sense on high alert.”
“And report immediately if you spot anything funny. Alpha Kai and I will canvass outside the borders,” I added, dismissing them. Two were left to wait for the healer and transport the body to the capital.
We spent hours thoroughly examining the grounds bordering the Kingdom, looking for anything out of place. Nothing came up, not even a whiff of rogues. So at around midnight, we held a brief meeting at the office, with Beta Jeriah and Commander Vex present. Since nothing had changed even after touching the note, we decided to restore them to their respective positions and duties.
"Go home," Kai said after the meeting.
"Aren't we going together?" I asked, watching as he opened his laptop and got comfortable on his swivel office chair.
"Delaney needs one of us by her side, brother," he responded, looking at me.
"So why does it have to be me?" I crossed my arms.
"Because you still have shit to sort out with her. You need to assure her that your many flings won't get between you like Chloe did."
"And you think I can't do that with you around? We are her mates, both of us," I spoke, trying to convince him.
"Ronan, please. This is not the time to be stubborn." His forehead creased, closing his eyes momentarily.
"A second body turning up is not good at all. It will get people talking and scared and bring about panic. As their alpha kings, we have to assure them that everything will be fine, work and get around this," Kai explained, leaning over his desk.
"On the other hand, Delaney needs us, especially after what happened with Rick during the day," I added.
"And that is why we can't be here or at home, both of us. You will go home, and I will stay here," he insisted, turning his attention to his laptop.
"Fine, I will see you before sunrise," I agreed. Kai had always been the selfless one, and despite being twins, he always carried himself as my big brother.
When I got to the estate, I went directly to Delaney's room. I didn't knock as I walked in, her scent hitting me at the first step I took inside. She was sprawled in the middle of the bed, sleeping on her stomach. Her nightdress had ridden up her thighs, leaving her ass cheeks peeking. She had kicked the duvet, leaving only a part of it covering her legs.
I found myself smiling as I walked closer, taking in the side of her angelic face, partly covered by her blonde hair. I couldn't control myself as I bent over, pushed the stray strands off her face and kissed her forehead. She stirred, then her beautiful eyes opened, falling on me.
"Ronan," she groggily whispered, struggling to keep her eyes open.
"Sshh, go back to sleep," I soothed, smoothing my hand over her hair.
"Where's Kai?" she asked, rubbing her eyes after attempting to look around her room.
"Working," I whispered.
"M'kay," she replied. "Come," she added in a low voice, shifting on the bed. I didn't wait to be told twice, I stripped to my boxers and jumped right in, pulling the duvet over us.
"Mmh," she hummed when I wrapped my arms around her and pressed my front to her back. Goddess, her body pressed against mine, felt so good; it stirred my dick faster than I could control myself.
"Ronan," she whispered, rubbing her ass on my front, the movement sending blood to my manhood.
"If you keep doing this, we might not be able to catch any sleep," I warned, burying my nose between her neck and her shoulder, sniffing her.
"Who said I want to sleep?" She challenged, a whiff of her arousal wafting into my nose. I snapped my hips forward, pushing my hardness against her juicy ass.
"Shit," I hissed when sparks erupted from my cock, shooting upwards. I could feel it straining my briefs, hard and pulsating with need. With my eyes closed, I roamed my hand along her hip, pushing the nightdress upward. Then lowered it between her legs, hesitating, making her wait, yearn for it.
"Please," she begged, placing her hand over mine. I spread her legs, running my fingers over her folds, up to the hood of her pussy.
"Aah," she moaned, the sound driving me crazy.
"You are so wet," I whispered, leaving open-mouthed kisses along her neck. Instead of answering, she snapped her hips, rubbing her pussy in my fingers and her ass on my dick with every movement.
In that moment, I let my thoughts about the murders disappear, and allowed bliss to swallow me whole.
