CHAPTER 2 - COMPANION

Chapter 2

Elora's POV

Days turned into weeks and soon, the awaited Sun's birthday feast came.

Exquisite cars of different brands and colours conveying noblemen from the pack and important identities from other packs drove into the compound that evening.

These few days have been hectic with heavy chores and cleanings in preparation for this day.

I was assigned to do the dishes all through the function and though it would be quite boring, I didn't mind.

It was better than having to stand among Sun's guests whom I bet would be just as rude as she is.

The sound of whipping caused me to turn in the direction where the Luna of the Midnight Pack, Kyra stood, yelling at a servant for some mistake she made.

"Everything must be perfect you stupid lowlife! Don't you dare ruin my daughter's day because of your clumsiness!" She snapped, pushing the whimpering servant out of the way.

She is no different from her children, such a vile and vicious lady. I watched as she made her way towards me, my hair rising in trepidation.

Mother on noticing the Luna's movement quickly rushed to stand by my side, her eyes and ears perked in curiosity.

The Luna pointed her sharp fingers at me, her face emotionless and cold.

"You, come with me," she said curtly and started to walk away, "You will join the others in looking after my baby"

And by baby, she meant Sun. Heck no! I can't stand that bimbo, not even for a second. I tried to talk my way out but a warning glare from my mother made me seal my mouth.

I followed Luna Kyra to Sun's room, making sure to keep the compulsory ten feet away from her to avoid punishment.

"Here baby, she's the one you requested right?"

Sun nodded with a sly smirk and she turned to me, "Your duty is to never leave the princess's side, ensure her safety, and do everything she requests of you"

"Yes Luna" I returned with a slight curtsy.

Luna Kyra kissed Sun's cheeks before turning to the maids dressing her up with a serious expression.

"A single mistake on her face or hair or even her dress, you all will pay with your head" she slammed and walked out of the room.

Sun turned to me with a sinister grin, "Now that you are here, go ahead and open the package I prepared for you" she muttered, pointing towards a gift bag on the bed.

I gave her an uncertain stare, why is she suddenly being nice? It seems off.

Nevertheless, I picked up the gift bag and pulled out the weird-looking costume, my brows creased in confusion as I turned to see her doubling up in laughter.

"What are you waiting for Slave, put it on already" she cackled.

"You must be kidding me, this is not a Halloween party or costume party, is it? No, I can't wear this, Sun"

"I insist Elora and mind you, it is my day and you must do what I wish"

"But I am already dressed in the pack's uniform, is there.."

The remaining sentence got stuck in my throat as I felt something cold running down my face and soiling my clothes entirely.

"There, do you have any other excuse?" Sun snapped, slowly dropping the cup in her hand. "Dress up already, my party isn't going to wait"

I shot her a glare before grudgingly slipping out of my uniform and putting on the grotesque-looking outfit she had given me, I bet I looked like a potato sack in it.

Sun was fully dressed and ready for her party in a few minutes, the maid led her to the Alpha who was waiting to usher her into the hall while I trudged behind, hating myself for ever agreeing to the Luna's instructions. But did I have any other choice?

Everyone stood up in respect the moment Alpha Sage walked in, his hands looped around Sun's. I could hear the mocking laughter and comments about my looks and only clenched my jaws so as not to appear shaken.

Sun looked like she was having fun by making me an object of ridicule before her toxic guests, the sinister look in her eyes says it all.

"Thank you all for coming. I present to you, Sun Duffy Greymark" Alpha Sage announced as she was duly welcomed with an ovation.

After a few greetings to some notable allies of the Midnight Pack, Sun made her way towards the mini party that had been arranged for her to celebrate with a few of her friends. As her personal maid for the day, I came along too.

I did my best to appear unaffected by their taunts and mockery, Sun's friends were worse bullies than herself. My legs were already aching badly from standing too much.

"Here, drink up" Sun smirked, stretching a glass towards me.

I gave the liquid a weird look and shook my head defiantly, "No I don't want to"

Sun grabbed me forcefully, her eyes glaring daggers at me, "Let me remind you, slave, You've been ordered by my mother, the Luna herself to carry out my requests. I'm certain you are aware of what your disobedience might bring to you" She threatened amidst gritted teeth, pushing the glass into my hand.

I gave the drink one last skeptical look before downing all of its content, my face contorting as the burning effect of the drink rushed down my throat.

"Now, we watch and see how it goes" Sun smirked as her friends cheered happily.

I felt a sudden change in my body mechanism, heavy sweat began to form on my forehead, the room was spinning and my legs felt wobbly.

I staggered without balance, crashing into the vase at one corner of the room. Everyone burst into laughter, it was as if my helplessness was a show worth watching.

The urge to puke suddenly hit me like waves on a river bank and I involuntary emptied my guts on one of Sun's friends who screamed like she had been scalded.

Some guards instantly rushed inside the room and the girl was taken out of the room. Serves her right, though Sun could have been a better victim.

I felt better after throwing up and quietly left the suffocating room for some fresh air unnoticed. I could still feel the effect of whatever drink I was given as I staggered towards the balcony.

The musk scent of pine filled my nostrils and I stopped in my tracks, I could already feel my wolf awakened and prancing about in my head, a single word on her lips.

"Mate?" I whispered under my breath and resumed walking while tracing the scent.

I was led to the balcony where a young man stood as if waiting for my arrival. He was tall and muscular with long dark hair and slight freckles on top of his nose.

His eyes met mine and I gulped down nothing as I watched him approach me, his steps calculated but graceful.

I could not decipher what was suddenly wrong with me the moment my eyes fell on him. Was it the mate pull or was it the effect of the drink?

His blue eyes like magnet kept pulling me close, captivating my sea-green ones entirely.

I was not in the right frame of mind, I was certain and tried to walk away from him.

Only to stumble on my own feet and in seconds, he was holding me up, his hands securely wrapped around my waist and the longing in his eyes evident. I am certain he felt the mate pull too.

"Are you okay?"

His voice was soothing and I felt breezy, as my eyes fell on his lips, all I wanted was to feel them on mine.

I pulled his face closer to myself, kissing his lips passionately and loving the effect it brought on the both of us.

Our lips moved in sync and with the tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach, I didn't want this feeling to end.

His hands began to roam all over my body as he deepened the kiss, I couldn't help moaning in bliss holding him tighter because I didn't want to let go.

He pulled out of our intense make-out and stared deeply into my eyes,

"What are you doing to me?" His voice was husky and the passion in his eyes was unmistaken.

"I don't know, I can't get enough of you. Just please me Sire" My voice was filled with desire.

He grabbed my butt possessively, "In that case, let's take this somewhere else. You are mine anyways, I will make you scream, Flower"

Flower? I love the name already.

Without waiting for my reply, he hoisted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist, kissing him back with the same intensity as he walked towards one of the empty rooms in the mansion.

He laid me carefully on the bed and hovered over me, his eyes holding so much concern, "Are you ready for this Flower?"

I couldn't provide a suitable answer, all I wanted was to feel him all over me. To have him shower me with the love and affection which I deserve.

With my eyes intently gazing at his face, I slowly took off my clothes leaving myself clad in just my undies.

His throat bobbed up and down, my reaction was enough to answer his question, he took off his shirt, leaning towards me for another round of intense makeout.

I lost myself to desire as he trailed kisses from my lips down to my breasts before taking one of my nipples in his mouth while rubbing the other.

I felt my head explode in pleasure as he suckled on my breast. I dug my nails at his back, pulling him closer, the feeling was bliss.

He rubbed my entrance while keeping his lips fixed just where I wanted them and slowly, he plunged into me.

My back arched as a slight whimper left my lips.

He held me to himself, concern in his eyes and his lips rendering comforting kisses to my body. Sensing I was feeling better, he started to move in and out of me with so much care.

The initial pain was replaced with pleasure as I completely surrendered to the feeling of ecstasy acquired by giving myself to my mate.
