Chapter 3

CASPIAN’S POV

I had no idea why I was in the nightshade pack today. I could have had my men handle this deal, but for some reason, it felt like something was pulling me there and just as I arrived, I could tell what this was all about.

MATE!

The mate bond slammed right into me, searing through my nerves as Regal howled so loudly inside of me, I starggered.

And just then, she stood right before me,her eyes swollen from tears, her shoulders trembling, looking as if the world had broken her in half. My mate! The one the moon goddess swore I would never have.

Taking her to the suite felt like a rush, but the moon goddess had assured me that I was never getting a mate and most especially I was never getting rid of the curse.

But as this strange girl who happened to be my mate wrapped her arms around me, I could feel the bond, the connection to her wolf but it didn't seem like she was aware of that even though I knew it was the bond that had propelled her into kissing me.

Taking off my mask and letting her towel slide to expose her naked body did not have so much effect on me.

But as soon as my lips pressed against hers, I lost myself. For years I had buried every desire, every craving, knowing it would only lead to my ruin.

Yet all it took was one kiss from her to shatter my control as Regal roared in triumph, almost losing control of him seeing how desperate he wanted to make her ours.

I slammed her to the wall, my lips pulled away from hers,  my hands trembled as they slid over her skin, it was not just from the lust, but FEAR.

What if I end up destroying her just like the curse had promised that I would destroy anyone close to me.

Her hands around me felt like it was urging me to go further. I slowly trailed down to her neck biting and sucking her neck down to her collarbone.

My hands could not stop caressing every part of her body as it felt like my life depended on it and even though I had expected her to try and stop me, she let her hand slide down to my shirt, taking off all the buttons like her life depended on it.

As my hands kept caressing her body, the towel had fell off again and this time, I got the chance to stare at her beautiful body. Her breast was plump and full, her skin was smooth like milk.

“Gosh…. You are so beautiful, I want you so badly "I moaned as I felt my dick grow hard, poking out of my pants.

“What is stopping you then, I am all yours”

The words escaped her lips as she moaned, the sound of her voice only getting me harder and as if she understood, her hands found it way down to my pants. As soon as she unzipped it, she let my huge dick fly out.

My veins were sprouting out, my body hot and intense as I slowly walked over to the bed with my hands still savoring her body.

I slid her pants to the side and just as I thrust in, she held me tight as she yelped.

“Are you alright?” I asked, noticing the way she flinched in pain but  she held me tight, urging me to go further.

The more I thrust in, the more I could tell how innocent she was. I turned my gaze to her, not sure how to feel about this. “You are a virgin?”

“Who cares?”

“Are you sure about this?”

“How can you even ask me that? Can't you see that my entire body is on fire and I want you badly”

she moaned, she was so wet, making it easier to thrust in while I pressed on her boobs, our lips locked together, kissing and sucking her so desperately as I felt like my life depended on her and I couldn't do without her.

I kept on thrusting back and forth while she moaned so loudly, switching positions with her.

I had no idea how long this went on, but by the time I finally released my huge load inside of her, we were both exhausted and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, the bed was cold and empty. SHE IS GONE and for a moment, I thought she was nothing but a dream until my gaze caught hold of the stain on the bed.

The red stain against the white bedsheets was certainly proof that she had been here last night, she had given me her first night and was indeed my mate.

I stood frozen for a while, so much was going on in my mind. Was the moon goddess playing tricks with me, was she trying to give me hope and then take it away from me in a brutal way.

This girl that happened to me last night was too good to be a reality and the fact that she was the first one to have ever seen my face, I knew she had to be mine.

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. As I slid my mask on, I took off the bedsheets and tossed it into the washer before ushering Sebastian and Logan inside.

“Good morning your majesty, you gave us a scare last night when you dashed off” Logan had a smile on his face while he spoke, but my gaze remained cold as I slid my shirt on.

“We saw a girl leave your room, was she the reason you took off last night?” Sebastian, who had his gaze scanning the room asked, I could tell that his wolf was sniffing the scent in the room.

“Yes” I responded coldly.

“No way! She is your mate!” Sebastian gasped and Logan was also shocked as he opened his mouth wide open. “How is that possible?"

“I have no idea, the moon goddess is playing some sort of tricks with me”

“Your majesty, what are we going to do?” Logan asked, but exchanged glances with each other as they seemed perplexed.

“Find out everything that you can about her, she saw my face”

“What!” The both of them yelled out in fear as their eyes grimaced in fear. “How…. your majesty, this is not good” Logan strutted like he was choking on his words.

“How could something like this happen!” sabastian snapped. I understood the fear in their eyes.

I had no idea who this girl was and yet she held so much power that could ruin me and everything that I have worked so hard for.

“Your Majesty, she saw your face….” fear flickering in his eyes as if trying to make me understand how much danger we were in. “If words get out…..”

“Then I will silence anyone who dares speak up!” I cut in coldly even though I was burning inside of me. She is the first to have ever seen me without a mask, to see the monster I had been concealing.

And instead of recoiling in fear or dashing out of there, she went ahead to kiss me.

“Just find out everything you can about her”

“We already did a background check on her as soon as we saw her leave your room, just in case she was here for other reasons”

Logan explained, Sebastian walked closer to me with an ipad around his finger.

“Her name is Leila, she is from this pack, adopted by the Ashfold family, just yesterday she turned eighteen and the same yesterday, she found out that she was mate with Alpha Ryder but got rejected”

“Now I see why she had no clue of our connection” I massaged my temples, trying to stay calm but no matter how hard I struggled to figure out what the moon goddess was planning, it was a difficult one for me.

“Send a word to Alpha Ryder and inform him that I want her”

“What!” Both men gasped with their eyes poking out.

“Leila Ashford will be my bride, my mate or my cursebreaker. Whatever fate demands and if Ryder refuses, then I will Razz his pack to the ground”

Regal growled in agreement, I had done it before and I was ready to do it again and for the first time ever, the curse inside of me trembled. Not in defiance, but in surrender.

She is the one!
