CHAPTER 8: RALEIGH

A Long Chapter√

Enjoy!

I sighed in relieved after seeing them left, the thin lines which had settled on Damien forehead earlier seems to have disappear within the short period of time they left. I furrowed my brows, glancing at him sideways. Since we were the only one left at the table I decided to initiate a conversation.

"You don't seem to like your brothers?."

I said but it sounded more like a question.

What a stupid question...I thought.

"Do you like them?"

He asked ignoring my question.

Just immediately, I remembered Lucian remark and Arthur laughter as it reverberated in my head, clouded by these thoughts I found mysel unconsciously shaking my head in non approval. He only smiled and urged me to continue eating which I continued gladly.

I stuffed my stomach with every piece of meat on the table not minding his constant gaze at me, of course his brothers weren't here anymore. Suddenly, I choked on my food with my thoughts.

The next moment, I saw him at my side with a concerned look on his face,

"I'm fine."

I urged him but he seems not satisfied and took hold of my hands, it sent eccentric feelings into me, ohh... the butterflies.

He wanted to feed me, I tried to stop him but he only insisted which I finally cave in.

Damien fed me till my stomach hurts, I guess I'm full already but this feelings made me ignored it. Sensing that I was probably full he called the maids to clean up the place and bring in refreshing liquor.

With different thoughts on my mind, I couldn't help looked into his eyes. Those silver eyes which I had gotten attracted to in a few days.

Is this the feeling of having someone who actually cared for you, I can't decide that. I still remembered those worrisome eyes of his moments back.

Then I remembered my mother, I missed her instantly how I wish she was with me right now or even see how I'm faring. I probably knew my father he wouldn't cave in, he probably will have his guards around the Kingdom to keep watch. Her mother will probably be so sad right now.

"Do you want to meet your mother?"

That voice startled me, as I looked up once again, enchanted.

..........................

"Do you want to meet your mother?"

I asked again while she seems suprised.

She nod...

"But h...how?"

She asked confused already.

"Don't worry about it. My men will take care it."

I assured and her expression widened in what seems like admiration but I couldn't help but smile unconsciously while looking at this pure soul in front of me.

She made me feels things I'm not entitled to, "Mate" the word made my wolf screamed out in exasperation to take her... Claim her.... Mark her...Make her his.

But he wasn't sure if she was ready either, he clearly remembered the widening look on her face the other day when he was explaining to her. He could sense he changing expression.

He knew it wouldn't be long before he cave and he hope she wouldn't hate him for that especially now that his demon also is going haywire. It could lost control any moment. It suprised him the first, he always kept his demon bay but recently he seemingly had no control over it anymore.

"You shouldn't be worried about her. She will be fine."

I assured her sensing her panic look, sometimes I don't have to read their minds also. I can also Sense using their facial expression.

"Thank you!"

She said.

That voice seems to break my soul a thousand times, my heart raced unsteadily. I knew this wasn't normal but I found myself suddenly attracted to her and moving towards her direction.

.....................

His lips crashed against, as he sucked them like his life depended on it. Savored every of his taste, he kissed me holding my waist pinning me down, although it seems uncomfortable but I don't want any of this to end.

Inhaling his spicy scent, something snapped in me and I found myself digging my hands into his neck. Savoring every of his taste, I held onto him as if he was escaping any moment. He withdrew he lips and immediately crashed it back with mine again, his tongue rolled out demanding or still knocking on my unparted lips, I cave him parting my lips widely enough for him to gain entrance as our tongues intertwined.

........................

I cursed inwardly as my demon tried to surface but I struggled to kept him at bay. Before it got any intense I withdrew my lips and slammed it back in again. This time my wolf taking half control, I managed to keep it out again.

I withdrew my lips from her gasping for hair, not believing what I had just done. Did I just kissed a stranger.

"Not a stranger... She is our Mate!"

My Wolf interjected sadly probably still sad that I block it out moment back.

My demon, Raleigh only growled in annoyance. My Demon wasn't like this before. Maybe she had done something to me to make me feel attracted to her. I just couldn't take my mind off her.

I couldn't think straight right at this moment, I needed something to distract myself before I lose control completely. Fortunately, Elios entered into the garden with a serious expression, he always had blank expression in the past.

"My Lord, it's urgent!"

He stated bowing, one knees kissing the ground.

"What is it?"

I asked nonchalantly.

He seems to look at me first then to Harvey, it was then i understand it was really serious.

"I'll be back Mate."

I said before leaving her presence, Elios trailing behind me.

....................

Still trying to catch my breath from the almost intense moment I had earlier. I found it quite hard to breathe, I have never kissed a man in my life before except my father and that was when I was very little then. And he was a caring and loving father then.

The butterflies which had multiplied tenfold moments back had dismantled. That eccentric feelings gone as soon as he withdrew his lips. Just then, I remembered I dug my fingers into his flesh. I panicked.

Hope he isn't wounded.. I thought.

"I'll be back Mate"

Those words reverberated through my ears, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed at that instant.

"YOU'RE MY MATE"

I could still remember the first day he told me those words, I felt scared and insecure at the time. The feeling of being claimed overwhelmed instantly, the feeling of belonging to someone because of some unknown goddess.

I had dared him telling him what if I don't accept being his Mate after he explained to me the consequences. I expected him to claimed me instantly but he said I could go if I wanted.

And still assured me I was safe in this kingdom, in this clan. For the time in my life, I felt so secured and safe with a man.

It's weird right!

But I couldn't help it.

"I'll be back Mate!"

Those words reverberated through my ears before I soon drifted into the land of the unconscious.
