Chapter 9: The Squeaky Door

BAELA

I heard the door close shut behind me with its familiar squeaky sound. 

We shouldn't be here, I knew. I hope I wasn't making a mistake? I hope I don't get myself into more trouble? But he was standing right behind me, clouding my judgement, making me unable to think as I stood rooted on the spot waiting for his next move.

It seemed like an eternity waiting for him to act but in reality barely a few seconds had passed since we got in. 

"I see why you want me in the castle..." I heard him whisper from behind as he walked up slowly towards me.

I closed my eyes instinctively, as I breathed out awaiting his sensual touch. Memories of  us together before dawn this morning flooding my mind.

I know he could read my mind. He had shown me he could just a few minutes earlier and now I was ready to explore with him the heights and depths of my pleasure even though that was not what we were supposed to be doing in here.

"The castle is nice and a beautiful place". He said, completing his statement as he stood beside me. He didn't touch me as I thought he would, as I opened my eyes to behold him looking down at me from the side.

I was confused, as I looked up at him. Was he tormenting me? 

I was spellbound by him - drawn by his charm and charisma and the mystery surrounding him - I hadn't yet wrapped my head around.

"We have a lot to talk about". He said, sensing my confused state, as he turned his entire body to face me, bridging the little  gap left between us. 

I could feel the tension building up within me but as my breathing became heavier. 

"What was last night about?" He whispered, close to my left ear as he leaned forward.

The sensation of his voice close to my ear  and our bodies touching made me unable to say a word. I was panting, running out of breath literally but this time around I wasn't in a choke hold. 

He could see how vulnerable I was as he quickly pulled away from me, giving me the space and time to catch my breath.

I closed my eyes as he did, as I worked to steady my breath. I opened my eyes after a few seconds and I could see he was now standing by the window, looking outside at the wonderful view of the city.

"I now know why you came visiting last night". He said poised.

"You meant what you said to me..."FOR YOU" ". 

"You were GENUINE". He said, still overlooking the city.

I wondered what he was thinking now and what he thought my visit truly meant last night? I did really come for him and that was my truth but something else was bothering me.

"And, what do you think of ME?" I asked anxiously. He could read my intentions towards him but I couldn't do the same for him. I needed him to tell me himself.

He turned to look at him, giving me his full attention, so I held my breath. I was now under his spotlight and my fate was about to be revealed to me.

"Can I be honest with you?" He had a smirk on his face, as he asked.

"Yes you can". I said, as I breathed out. Was he going to be vulnerable with me? I longed for such intimacy.

"You are Beta Lorgan and Hannah Rossi's daughter".

"Nothing can ever happen between us because I am a wanderer, I am a nobody".

The smirk on his face had totally disappeared. I could tell he put on a fake smile just before revealing the truth so it would be easy for him to take.

"Please do not say that!" I said distraught. His words pierced so deep into my soul. I couldn't stay away from him now. I had to draw closer, I had to console him, as I walked towards where he was standing by the window.

"I do not care much about hierarchy...I care only about YOU" I said, afraid to touch him, although I was craving so badly to but my hands hanged just inches away from his arms.

"If I wanted...I would long have had my pick of a mate amongst the Beta's". I stared deep into his eyes, searching if he was listening to me with both his eyes and ears. 

I was indeed beautiful to look at. A well formed female by the moon goddess. Like Lily would always say, I looked really sexy with the way my bosom and ass were well-sculpted. I had not failed to take notice of it, although I tried to downplay how beautiful I was most times.

If I did forget how beautiful I was, the Beta werewolf males had not forgotten. They too had taken notice and I got tasty stares from them whenever I went in to see father and mother. Maybe that was why they shunned me with much contempt because I paid no notice to their advances.

"Why choose me?" I heard his lips say. I still could not read him but his eyes were fixed to mine, he was listening.

I was cautious and worried by his question. What if I say the wrong thing, would I lose him?

I had to close the gap between us, I had to make physical contact. I was scared but I let my hands rest on his arms, touching his bare skin.

Instantly I knew why he was the one, I knew  why I chose him to be my future mate. No one else could make me feel this way...the way my heart felt about him.

"I owe you MY LIFE because you saved me".

"You care not for worldly things, I too consider them to be unimportant".

"You are SPECIAL Abbadon Dargan...there is something about you that I cannot resist but I can feel SO STRONGLY!"

I said, as I laid my head on his chest, to listen to the rhythm of his beating heart. A HEART I HOPE WAS MINE!

"Your words are genuine and true...this I know". He said, as he rested his right hand on my head. I liked it, it was reassuring that he didn't pull me away from him.

"Your words are sincere and clear...this I have heard BUT..." He touched my chin with his left hand, urging me to look up at him and I did.

"I can only accept to be your mate AFTER the Arena games...I must FIRST earn my place as a worthy member of the pack".

"WHAT?!" I asked, unsure of what I had just heard.

"So you accept me as your MATE?" I asked, nervous and excited.

"I ACCEPT TO BE YOUR MATE as long as you would have me". I heard him say to me, as I looked up at him.

I couldn't believe my ears, as my eyes suddenly became teary. I was feeling an unusual sensation all over me, as I fanned myself with my hands. I couldn't tell if this was my imagination or if this was real.

It felt so real because I could feel his touch and he appeared so real because his face and lips were bent only inches away from mine. 

I had to make sure it was all happening for real, as I pulled myself up on my toes for the kiss and I kissed him!

It was beyond magical to say the least, the sparks moving all over me, as I wrapped my hands around his arched neck for support.

It was better than I had imagined and It was lovely to know what he tasted like. He kissed me back too, making the moment PERFECT!

I know I was moving too fast because I had just met him a few days ago and had just learnt about his other name just this morning but I was IN LOVE. 

"Nothing could RUIN this perfect moment!" I thought, as I kissed him some more and then I heard the loud squeaky sound of my door as it flew open.

I didn't have enough time to react quickly. To pull off from his kiss and take my hands off his neck and father caught us in the act.

Father looked enraged. I had not seen him look so angry before but his anger was  especially at Abbadon!
