Marissa POV.Feeling Robert push inside of me it is all I have wanted, to be close to him for him to take me how he wants, for me to submit to him. He pounds into me relentlessly, like a man starved of his favourite meal.A moan leaves my throat as my eyes roll into the back of my head. His mouth crashes on mine as our tongues fight for dominance, a dance I know I won’t win with this man, my mate, my love.Breaking the kiss, sweat coats my skin and his, my nails rake down his back as my hips move to meet his thrusts.“Fuck, you’re dripping wet and so tight for me, my queen.” He growls out as I feel my walls clench around him, sucking him deeper inside of me. His lips move to my mark as he licks and sucks on it hard as I moan loudly as my orgasm tears out of me.“Give it to me. I want to feel it.” My breathing is ragged and my legs shake as he pulls out of me before he flips me on to my belly. His hand moves up my spine, pushing my shoulders down onto the mattress, my ass in the air. T
Marissa POV.“No, it’s not like that at all, Robert. After everything you and your mom told me about this place, I was not putting Athena at risk. Or did you forget how I found you when you were knocking on death’s door? Do you think I want that fate for my daughter?” I say as I try to stay calm. I don’t understand why he is acting like this?“You think I can’t protect her? That’s why she isn’t here. Do you not know I miss her too? I understand she isn’t mine biologically, but I look at like she is. I’m nothing like my father, who turned a blind eye to the suffering of his mate and pups. Goddess, I even got rid of the harem for you to show you I’m nothing like him.” The anger simmers in my blood, taking a breath to calm myself. Did he not want to get rid of the harem?“Did I say you couldn’t protect her? Do you want to know why I agreed to Damien taking her?” he looks at me, his fists balled into fists. Ok he wants to play.“Because I was not just scared for her, but for me. Goddess,
Robert POV.It has been four weeks since Marissa moved out of our bedroom. Every time I’ve gone to speak to her, I’ve been called away. She doesn’t leave her room, and I know she is depressed. I can feel it through the bond. She has even stopped speaking to Michael. I have been trying to get her through the mind link, but nothing. It’s like she isn’t even here and it’s driving me crazy.A knock on my door brings me out of my turmoil. I need to see her make sure she is ok. I keep messing up and she is right. She was pleading with me to let her help, but like the stubborn mule I am; I refused and now I wished I hadn’t.“Come in.” I call out, not wanting to see anyone. My father let this kingdom rot with debts and I’ve been trying to find solutions to sort it out, but as soon as I scratched the surface all the skeleton’s came out and I know how truly screwed the kingdom is.The door opens, and in walks Thalia. I groan internally. She has been coming more often and has tried her best to s
Marissa POV.Sitting on the sofa in my room, I smile as I look Athena over, but my heart hurts. I’ve missed so much. However, Damien and Roxy have done amazingly with her. I’m a failure as a mother. I don’t deserve her at all.“So, you going to tell me what has been going on since we left?” Eleanor stands in front of me before she sits down and I tell her everything, including what the omegas have been reporting to me. The rumours are still the same, but apparently she has been meeting someone outside the palace. I have asked the girls to find out where she is going and who she is meeting. I have a feeling she is meeting members of the harem.“How long?” I look at Eleanor and furrow my eyebrows at her. I don’t understand what she means. I have blocked the mind link to Robert and blocked Zarah as well. I have needed to be alone.“What?” I say to her as she stands and holds her hands out to take Athena and I pass her to her.“Lay down.” I do as I’m asked when she holds a hand out over m
Marissa POV.Once I’m in the hallway, I stagger as I sob. Leaning against the wall for strength, all I can hear is Robert screaming and trashing the office. It breaks my heart that he could do this. Zarah is whimpering in my head. I push off the wall, needing to get back to my room and pack my things to leave. I can’t stay here, I just can’t. I’m the laughingstock of the Kingdom.Poor little Marissa, who’s mate cheated on her, and she is now rejected once again. I warned him and there was no going back if he did this.Walking towards my room I try to straighten myself up but I can’t. I’m broken, broken by the one person I never thought would do this to me.“Goddess Luna, here, let me help you.” Kelly comes running to my side and I place my arm over her shoulder as she steadies me.“What happened Luna? Are you hurt?” I shake my head as I try to swallow the lump in my throat.“Take me to my room, please, Kelly.” I mumble and she nods her head.“Marissa, wait. Please, let me explain.” I
Marissa POV.Jogging towards the Omega’s quarters, I stop outside the room of Thalia. Pushing the door open. It’s neat and cosy. Shame she was a slut.“Luna, what are we looking for?” I move towards the bedside table and pull the drawer out. My skin itches as the blood is drying, but it’s the least of my worries right now.“We are looking for a perfume, lotion, anything that doesn’t look right. It will have an earthy, damp smell. Search the bathroom and leave no corner unturned.” I rip the mattress up, looking for a bottle. I tear the room apart looking for it, but nothing. I look at the rug and stand.Pulling the rug back, I look at the floor and see scuff marks. Moving to my knees, I run my finger over it. Feeling the ridges. There is something down here.Allowing my claws to slip, I rip the flooring apart and see a black box. Reaching in, I grab it and pull it out. Lifting the lid, I look at the contents.There are small green glass vials. Gently picking one up, I look at it closel
Robert POV.Confusion and heat washes through me, my little mate holding me under the icy stream. I need to feel her, need to be inside her.“Robert, look at me. You will be ok.” Her voice is smooth and that throbbing urge becomes stronger. I need to be buried deep inside of her. To feel her walls stretch to accommodate me. To hear those sweet breathy moans in my ear. The need to be with her in everyway possible, to hold her, kiss her and make love to her.“MINE!” I growl out. She smiles softly at me as her small hands stay firmly on my chest.“Lean back for me, stay under the water. Robert, you are under the influence of an aphrodisiac. I need to bring your temperature down. Do you understand what I’m saying to you?” I blink at her words as I tilt my head, watching her every movement, the blood coursing through her veins, her pulse point where my mark lies throbbing under her skin. I want to lick it, to suck on it. I groan internally. I want to push her up against the wall and take w
Marissa POV.“Yes, we do. Let me say this first, please. I’m sorry, I didn’t know what I was doing. I thought it was you. I understand why you rejected me and I’ll make it up to you, even if it takes until I die. Don’t leave me, Marissa. I wouldn’t survive without you.” His words are heavy and I know they are the truth. If I didn’t find Thalia’s secret stash, he wouldn’t be able to survive.“I know, my love. I am sorry for how I reacted. I couldn’t go through that again. We will sort this out. We need to work together from now on Robert. No more doing everything on your own. If I’m to be your queen, then we need to share the responsibility. It wasn’t your fault. She dosed you with an aphrodisiac, which was laced with wolfsbane.” I tell him and I watch as he makes sense of what I have told him. Athena bounces on my knee. Robert looks at her and holds his arms out for her and she throws herself towards him. I chuckle at her.“I believe the use and production of aphrodisiacs are forbidde
