Chapter Three

CHAPTER 3

TAYLOR’S POV

I opened my eyes slowly. I felt numb and my eyelids weighed like they would shut again. I tried to move but then someone pulled me closer, pressed me tenderly on their body. Like I was an egg and they feared I would break.

My eyes searched for his face. To find who has such a gentle touch. It felt so unreal and for a second, I thought the moon goddess had finally come to take me.

But then, my gaze fell on a set of blue eyes, staring back at me with a pained expression and a hint of concern. This face was familiar.

I felt my skin crawl instantly. My gut twisted and fear jilted me right out of my fathom. I struggled immediately, wiggling with difficulty. He tried to hold me, to calm me down but I was adamant. I didn't want to be in the arms of Zephyr.

“Let go! Let me go!”

I tried to yell. A desperate need to flee written all over my face. He must have seen it. He must have felt my fear because instantly, he let me fumble out of his arms.

I found my footing immediately, pacing backwards as fast as I could until my back hit the students locker. My chest rose and fell, perspiration drenched me. I stared wide-eyed at him. Horrified and shocked at the same time.

He actually held me. Why the hell would Zephyr hold me.

He rose slowly. His full silhouette stood erect before my eyes. His clothes were torn from transforming and he had only his pants on. I could see his chiseled features. His taunting skin as smooth as porcelain and his pink nipples that seemed as though they begged to be touched. To be caressed.

‘Wait… no,no, no,no…’ I shock my head vigorously. ‘Bloody hell Taylor, what are you thinking? You can't possibly be admiring this guy?’

But I was. I freaking was. My body was bruised, my neck had his hand permanently imprinted on it. I was sore all over and riddled with scars that he had caused but still I was feeling hot. His eyes sent electric sparks through me and I felt like I could get wet down there.

I liked what I saw but most of all, I liked the fragrance in the air around us. A harmonious mix of Lavender oil and roses. Perhaps with a dash of Lilly. It was exhilarating. It got my blood pumping and my mind racing. Just staring at him made me want to gasp.

Something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong with me.

“Taylor, it's okay.” He took a step closer. “You are safe now, my mate.’

My eyes grew wider. I felt like lurching back but I was already at a dead end. My body was working against my mind. I was shocked that my nipples were hardening. It seemed as though I was high from ecstasy.

He could feel it too. The mate bond connected us to the point that I could feel his heart beat too. They resonated with mine. They shared my need.

And when he gently touched me, his hand curling around my waist and guiding me to him. I didn't even twitch. His eyes held mine, like he was asking for permission. Permission to have me, here and now. I… I didn't say no. I couldn't fight myself.

Tenderly, calmly he leaned in and our lips pressed against each other's. It was a little kiss. Our bodies were tense, experimenting with this sensual desire building up inside us.

When he tried again. He was sure this time. Certain that I wanted him. I wanted this.

Before his lips touched mine, I pulled in, kissing him this time. Chewing at his lips, tilting our heads one side after the other, as if we were eager to know which suit us.

I felt his adventurous fingers crawling up to my chest, pulling on the buttons. We didn't care where we were, we just wanted to make love. To let out this heat that set our hearts aflame.

I moaned the second our lips were apart. Our bodies rubbed against each other. Then he thrust his hip so I could feel his bulge touch my cunt. It was insane. Just a touch and ws wet already. What if he stuck it inside me. Oh, the sexual tension between us would certainly tesr me apart. I clasped tighter on him. Feeling it rub harder against my cunt. Not more than anything I wanted to rip my jeans off.

The whole time, his eyes ravaged me and then his lips. Kissing me down slowly.

I moaned for him. He got even more excited each time. His kisses him getting harder. More lustful.

Oh, I didn't know how long I could keep my clothes on. Zephyr lips were igniting emotions I never knew I could feel. So this what it's like to be mated to an alpha born.

My lips parted but suddenly, no words came. I felt like I was stunned, dragged back to reality. My memories flooded back, in flashes. It all started coming back to me. Every anger I felt for him. Every pain he caused me. I was about to make love with the man I hated my entire life, inside a classroom.

Disgust washed over me. The grips of the mate bond vanished. I clasped my hands over his torso and forced him off me. Throwing a punch the very next second.

Zephyr staggered to the side, his eyes shot at me almost immediately.

Perhaps I saw a pained look in his eyes. I couldn't tell. I had gotten so scared all of a sudden. I jolted away from him, shifting into a white wolf and escaping into the cold night.

I ran, as fast as I could. I had no destination. I just wanted to get away from all this. I just couldn't believe it. The goddess paired me with that Monster.
