I don’t how we actually go back to his room, because the next few hours is like a blur.
I find myself on the bed with him.
We aren’t doing anything. We are just talking.Yeah!
And eating too.Sebastian looks up from his food, “What’s your sister’s name anyway?”
I raise an eyebrow at him, “You know that she has a mate, right?”
“I just wanna know her name. Is that so hard?”
“I am not gonna tell you, you can ask her yourself.”
He throws his head back and groans loudly.
I laugh at this, making him stop to look at me.I frown at him, “What is it?”
He smiles, “You have a beautiful laugh.”
I roll my eyes at him with a scoff, “Do you tell that to all the girls you sleep with?”
His expression answers my question.
I nod with a bitter smile.Of course, he does.
I expected the Wolf King to sleep around, but him confirming it makes me feel stupid.“I guess someone told you it was a bad idea but you didn’t listen.”
He nods and I stare at him numbly.
I don’t know why it affects me.
Maybe it is because I actually thought my mate would wait for me, maybe it is because I am keeping myself for my mate.But I shouldn’t let this affect me, right?
I shouldn’t.“Minerv-”
A knock comes from the door and he sighs, staring at me for a while before he says. “Come in.”
A female walks inside the room, she stares at me for a while before moving to carry away the dishes.
The look she gives to me spikes my curiosity.I can already smell the jealously off her when she sends a rather longing glance at Sebastian.
I wait till she is out of the room and make sure I hear her footsteps down the hall, before I say, “She is one of them, isn’t she…”
I don’t actually give him the time to explain himself to me, “I was at least glad that I wouldn’t get to see the females you sleep with, and now I have to face them everyday.”
He frowns and moves closer to me, “Then I’ll fire them all, you don’t have to see the-”
I glare at him.
Is he crazy.
“They’ll lose their job, Sebastian, I don’t want that.”
“Goddess! Make a decision then.”
What kind of male did I get mated to?
“Just don’t sleep with any other female.”
He nods and then makes a show of staring at me with a smile, “Wait, are you jealous?”
What?
“Oh Goddess, you are.”
Is he drunk?
“No, I am not,” I push him away and he laughs.
“You are. There’s no need to be, Minerva.”
Yeah, that is the best thing to say to your mate when you have probably had sex with a zillion females.
Classic.I fold my arms across my chest and he says, “I guess I have to apologize for a lot of things. I didn’t think that I would find my mate.”
I frown and move closer to him, “Why?”
He shrugs, “My family has that demerit, I guess. We leave for hundreds of years with just a percent chance of finding our destined mate. They can be either died or might be born when you die, it is a very degrading cycle.”
“I am sorry, Sebastian. I didn’t know.”
He smiles at me. “I don’t expect you to. My family did a great job at hiding it from the public. I am just glad that only I share that- should I say curse.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that, the curse as I called it only affects the one with the crown.”What?
“Why?”He shrugs, “The royal family lives for many years, but my siblings are likely to find their mates and I am not.”
But you found me…
“That’s why you were scared when I wanted to reject you.”
He frowns with an eye roll, “I wasn’t scared.”
I laugh at his expression and hop on his lap, “That’s true, you were frightened to death.”
He groans with a hidden smile and I pinch his cheek, “Promise not to tell?”
Hmm.
I could one day use this against him as a leverage of some kind, so I nod.I am so crazy.
He stares creepily at me and I scowl at him, “What is it?”
“I just can’t believe I found you.”
Oh. This sappy stuff.
His eyes dart to my neck and he leans closer to me.
Oh Goddess, what do I do?
As he gets closer, I panic some more.“What are you doing?”
He doesn’t answer me. It is like he is a spell of some sort, but I know better.
He is being controlled by his wolf urge to sniff me.He is drawn by my scent. All mates are.The thought makes me blush.
His nose is suddenly on my neck as he sniffs me. He draws me closer than before, making me groan.I get lost in the sensation he brings and before I know it his lips are on me, my neck is probably begging to be spared.
As his mouth works on my neck, I forget about everything, including the possibility of him marking me which would be bad.
Mates don’t mark each other without permission and if he does, I will be so pissed at him.
Of course, my clouded mind don’t think about this outcome, especially when I feel his canine touch my skin.
I let out a loud groan and give him enough access to my neck while I hold back his shoulder.
Sometimes the pleasure of the flesh is just too much to endure, like in this situation.
I didn’t say that I don’t like it, neither did my wolf.Suddenly, he is gone and the sensation fades away in emptiness.
I bounce on the bed with a deep scowl on my face.
Goddess, what did I do.
Urgh!!
I can be so stupid at times.
I groan and hit my head on the pillow over and over again with a frown stuck on my face.What is wrong with me.He could have marked me for all I know.Urgh.I jump out of the bed and hurry to the bathroom.Maybe water will wash away my thoughts of what just happened.When I step into the bathroom, I immediately forget what I am about to do.It’s just so big…And it’s so beautiful!How can someone have this kind of bathroom, it surpasses everything I thought it to be.Oh Goddess!Now I am daydreaming over a bathroom.My hormones are all over the place, like literally… in a way.Hmm.I wash my face and blow out a breath. I look horrible.I wonder what he thinks when he stares at me.A girl who was abandoned by her parents?A female crazy enough to almost reject her mate.I scoff.I’m sure that’s what he sees when he stares at m
It seems so stupid for me to go back to the castle, only for me to be thrown out by that same crazy male wolf, who clearly has no regard for women.I tried, and tried and tried but nothing.It doesn’t work.He is always there.It is almost like he is expecting me, so I decide to take a day break.I have tried a direct approach several times, and it didn’t work.Now, it is time to seat and wait.I still can’t believe that he hasn’t come to search for me.Maybe, he is out there with another woman…I am so going to sterilize him.The door opens widely and Estella comes in, closing the door behind her as she pants.Okay?Did she run a race or something.She walks to where I am seated on the couch rather dramatically.“What is it?”I wait for her to catch her breath before she speaks, “The King has created a search party for his mate. She apparen
After the days stress, I walk lazily to Sebastian’s room and throw myself on the bed with a sigh.The day has been stressful and a very… well let’s just go with stressful.When Sebastian comes in, he kisses my cheek and making me groan with a smile.“I’m sorry I left, Minerva. Had some things to take care of.”I hum at him with one eye open, “Anything you need help with?”He shakes his head at me and lays next to be, “How about you go to sleep and tomorrow, we can talk about it.”I nod, as he holds me closer to his chest.He is so warm…And I fall asleep like a baby.You know when someone tells you that they will do something for you later, but ends up not doing it.Well, that happens when I wake up.I follow him around, just for him to tell me what transpired yesterday. I get nothing, nothing at all.He groans as he sits behind his desk
My body feels like I’ve been run down by a truck and right now, I know that that’s not the issue.If forever is really a word in the dictionary, I want it gone.I finally open my eyes, it takes some blinking for me to see clearly.“You’re awake. I almost thought that you were dead.”I grunt, trying to keep my eyes open as long as I can.My throat feels dried up as I scan the room, keeping my sights on a male I wish to murder.Maybe, the taste of his blood will quench my thirst.“Sebastian.”He embraces my glare with a smirk. He is crunched by the front of silver bars.Oh my goddess, I am in the castle’s prison.“I half expected to be tied up in your room, not a cell.”He smiles at my statement. In a different occasion, I would have been gushing over how he looks, but right now I can only hate him.At least try to.“You aren’t tied
“Psst! Minerva. Minerva, wake up.”I groan and wipe my eyes with my hand.“Minerva!”I crack my eyes open as the whispers become louder.“What, Greyson. Leave me alone,” I yawn, raising my arms as I stretch. In the action, I move my leg and I grunt, immediately holding down my foot as tears flow down my face.“Jeez, Minerva. That had to hurt.”I bite my lips and glare at him through the tears. He has a wince on his face as he stares down at my foot.“You’re lucky that you are in a different cell, Greyson.”He nods, his features never changing from a wince, “I don’t think you would be able to walk on that leg.”“Thanks for stating the obvious,” I wipe my tears with the back of my hand, “I can’t feel my wolf.”The statement I make scares me, “Why can’t I feel her.”“Relax. It
He glares at me with deep intensity that I can’t comprehend, “Get into the bath tub.”What?“How am I going to do that when I have no clothes to put on.”He shakes his head at me and walks out of the room, leaving me alone with a towel wrapped on my chest.I laugh.Oh Goddess!He is affected by the mate bond, so badly.Maybe, me almost pulling my clothes off in front of him was a good idea after all.It left me alone in this room.I don’t even know how I manage to pull off my clothes.Oh… yeah, I tore them off me.My sister would freak out when she finds out that I tore my underwear…Just kidding, just kidding.I’m still putting on my underwear, they are still on me.He walks back in, with a few set of clothing in one hand and a glass of water in another.Oh my gosh, he brought me a glass of water.He is such a gentleman.I
The next morning, I wake up to see my cell still wide open. Greyson doesn’t do more than send me a sad smile when I leave.It is very obvious that I am not in a good mood today but who am I, just a filthy maid, that’s who.The only thing making me smile today is my wolf.I can feel her presence in my head but the silver is not completely gone so she’s not fully back.I am just thankful that she’s alright.“Hey, are you listening to me?”I blink at the short female in front of me. She huffs and places the sheets in my arms, “Take them to the King’s bedroom.”What? “I am sorry but I can’t go in there.”She waves her arms at me, “Don’t worry, the King and his mate aren’t doing anything.”I don’t know why she winks at me.I look down at my arms and sigh.They aren’t doing anything yet.When I arrive at Sebas
“Where is he?” I glare at the male, “You won’t tell me where you kept him and you won’t let me out of here?”He sighs and leans on the seat he sits on, “I don’t know where he went to.”“I know you’re lying.”He stands up with a yawn, “Suit yourself. Get dressed and got to work.”I blink, “Wait, Sebastian,” He stops and gives me a bored stare.I move closer and hold the bar, I hiss and move back when it hurts me. He looks down at my hands I cradle on my chest before he is staring back at me, “What?”“Is it because of the colour of my skin?” His face wrinkles in confusion, “Is that why you don’t want me as your mate.”As I say this, he rolls her eyes, “We’ve talked about this and I don’t understand why you don’t get it. I love, okay, so I am going to marry her in your place.&rd
