{ Justin } Nina was so bubbly all night yesterday, so playful and relaxed that I didn't expect this side of her. She's actually taking me by surprise with this tone and serious voice, it’s like she’s a whole different person all of a sudden. Like she’s shut down. But avoiding the situation, doing everything possible to avoid confrontation and letting things pile up forever is something that I'm more than used to; everyone in my family is like that. So I can't let my mate get away with it because I won't survive a marriage like that. Not forever. I’ve been trying to fix those problems in my own family for so long, it would kill me to have to go through the same thing with a different person. "Nina, I just want to make sure we're okay," I say, trying to catch her blue eyes, but she's pretending to read the menu. Ignoring me, "I think..." "Please, just stop," she says, looking up at me again with pleading eyes, "This is awkward. You don't want to be with me today or tomorrow
In the middle of the night, I don't realize what I'm doing until Nina lets out a little moan from her throat. At some point, I turned to her and I glued my body to hers. My front to her back. She's asleep and I shouldn't be doing this, but she touched my arm yesterday and that's all the contact we've had in two days. I need more. "This is my right," I say out loud and I recognize my wolf taking over me. I know he is because I would never touch anyone who is asleep, not even my mate. But he's pushing me to let my hand wander on her hip... to bury my nose in her thick hair. She smells so fucking delicious to me. My Nina, she's all warmth. I want her to touch me and tell me she needs me again. She was so hot that night. "Baby, wake up," I say against her ear. I can't stop myself from licking her earlobe and letting my hand wander to her soft tummy under her oversized shirt. Her skin is crazy soft, I want to kiss every inch of it, "Nina, wake up." "Hm?" she asks. The fact that
That makes her look up at me again, confused. "We're going to get the territory today. I could technically die out there," I say, even though I know the chances are slim to none. I guess I just want a little kiss. For me, but for her, too. { Nina } One little kiss. This man who has been practically ignoring me even though he invaded MY home is asking me for a little kiss? After grinding his dick against me last night? He has some nerve. "Okay," I say, because... what am I to do? I've been waiting for this opportunity the whole fucking time. I’m not the one who hates this bond. I know I shouldn’t be so easy, but I am. I want that kiss so bad. Justin licks his lips and ends the distance between us, but not too fast. He takes his time, looking into my eyes for a few seconds. "I'm really sorry I made you mad," he whispers, melting my insides, "We've only been mates a few days and I already fucked up, I can't even begin to explain how shitty I feel. I'm just trying to do t
I wish we could do it again (and again, and again) but I have a feeling Justin will get in his own head again. He just can't accept me for some reason. This past few days I've been doing research in fated mates. It's always what I thought it should be... instant love. Instant passion. Instant love-making. Obviously, because what else is it going to be when you find the literal love of your life? People never fight it... except for him. And why? Because apparently he doesn't like the way I look. Or, he does, but then he feels guilty about it. I sigh and roll in bed. My nose catches his scent in the sheets and I moan, feeling all tingly again. I gulp and my hand moves down south to relieve the pressure, but then I gasp when I remember why I woke up so early today. I jump up and run to put on my clothes on go to work. ➿➿➿➿ Justin and his brother were successful. When I get his text in my new super fancy phone, I almost pass out with relief. He told me a few times that it wasn'
"So, that means... I have to be the one to do something about it?" I ask, swallowing in nerves. Justin lies down next to me. "Not necessarily if you don't want to. All I'm saying is... I need to relieve some pressure," he says, "I've been so stressed about the conquest and scared about my brother possibly being in danger. And you being mad at me. I was so fucking tired and stressed." Oops. I guess that's my fault. Or his, for pissing me off to begin with. "Well... if you tell me what you like, I could help you," I offer, excited again. To touch him, make him feel good. It's my right, after all. But again, Boring Justin gives me a look that says he's not that sure, "Do I really have to beg a man to let me make him come? That's not fun, Fated Mate." "No, no, it's not like that. It's not like I don't want you," he rushes to say. I squint at him. He keeps saying that but not showing me, "I just... don't feel... okay. Tell you what. If you really want to touch me, you can do it."
{Georgette}When I first receive the news about my fated mate’s death, my brain doesn't seem to process the information correctly. I know that because the first thing I do is smile politely."Okay," I reply without letting my smile fade. My father approaches me and I allow him to hug my shoulders, but my brain is still working a million miles per second trying to understand, "W-what happened?""Asheron was at the front of the fight with the Sebdio Pack," the representative informs me, his voice pained and his eyes sad, just like his scent, "He died in battle."Asheron died.Asheron, the Alpha of the Blues pack, my fated mate, is dead. He died in battle, even though one day he promised me that would never, ever happen. I should have known he had no way of promising me something like that, but I was too young and foolish.I believed him."Thank you very much for coming to the palace to deliver the bad news, Aaron," my father responds, "Please convey our sincerest condolences to the Blu
"I'm dying to see you!" I shout at my computer, unable to hide my excitement, "I know this isn't what you wanted and we're both really mad at Justin, but I'm so happy he did what he did because that means I finally get to see you.""Oh, don't even fucking mention him right now," Cain growls and I can see him lowering his phone as he starts to climb onto his jet. I wait a few seconds until he's settled and then I can see his beautiful face on the screen again. So, so beautiful, "But I'm also really happy, Georgie. I've missed you so fucking much. And I'm going to need all your help figuring out how the hell to become a damn prince.""Well, first rule: no swearing," I scold him playfully, and he rolls his eyes dramatically, falling back into his seat, "You'll get used to it, like me. Even though it fucking sucks.""Well, at least I know I won’t be bored, as long as you're with me," he says with a warm smile as he looks at me, "The jet is about to take off, Princess. I'll call you as soo
"Wait, you two..." Queen Jana comes closer to us and closes her eyes for a second. She has always been a bit of a witch just like her twin sister, "I can feel a bond. But you two...""Alright, I think this is something we need to discuss in private. King Eugene? Please, come with us," King Erik says to my father. My dad comes up behind me immediately, helping me walk to god knows where while my wolf keeps claiming that Cain is hers. Just like Asheron was hers. ‘But what does that fucking mean, you crazy wolf?!’ I yell at her inside my mind. She’s just repeating the same thing. Once I’m in a room with just Cain, his parents and my father, I can finally blink and think a little clearer. Cain seems to wake up from his trance too and he shakes his head."Why do I feel like... like Georgie is... mine? My wolf says she's my mate," he says, his scared eyes rising to my father and his. Everyone looks at him as if it's obvious, "But she already has a mate. Asheron. Hello? What am I missing h
