I knocked on Nate’s door, before entering. He was sat lent back in his chair, watching me sheepishly walk into the room. His eyebrows were raised as he wore an amused expression. I rolled my eyes. “Wipe that look off your face”. “Really, princess? I leave you alone for-” he looked down at his watch, checking the time “35 minutes? Did you miss me already?” He taunted. I scoffed. “That cousin of-” “Second cousin” Nate corrected. “Whatever. I’m convinced she’s satan in disguise”. I proclaimed. Nate sighed. “What did she do this time?” Nate rubbed his forehead as he lent forward. “She screamed in a young girls face, demanding that she moved so Betty could sit her ‘Royal’ ass down”. As the words left my mouth, they sounded almost unbelievable. “Nate, the girl looked no older than 14 and she was all alone. And not to bring up an obvious point, but this isn’t the first time Betty has pulled a stunt like this. You only have to mention her name to the school students to
I dragged my feet down the academy halls, wishing I was still spending the morning with Nate rather than heading to history. But Nate had promised we would go away for the weekend if I kept my attendance high, so it was truly a no-brainer. The opportunity to spend 3 days alone with Nate was worth the mundane college classes. I wonder where we will go? I hope it’s somewhere secluded and private, somewhere no one can disturb us and I can stay in his arms every second. Somewhere we didn’t have to hide our fate. I suddenly remembered our conversation this morning. Nate said he would announce we were mated at the social tonight. I wonder what people will think? After this mornings performance with Betty, maybe people will think I’m a trouble marker and not fit to assist in leading the pack? I still had a long way to go in my training and truthfully, I wasn’t anywhere near ready to take on the responsibilities that came with being mated to Nate. I hadn’t even started my fae
“Okay S, I want you to close your eyes” my mother directed. I did as she told me and stood in the centre of the clearing with my eyes closed. “Clear your mind” she told me. I allowed my mind to go blank for a few moments, observing nothing but darkness in front of me. Only, it wasn’t long before my worries soon fought their way back into my conscience. The realisation of why I was stood in the beautiful setting now had my attention. I was trying to learn how to control my abilities, but just under two weeks ago I didn’t even know I possessed such abilities and now, what? I was supposed to learn how to harness them without truly understanding what they were? You can’t learn to do something you don’t know is possible? Hell, two weeks ago my mother was human! Well, she wasn’t.. but she was! To me, at least. I just can’t fathom how much has changed. “You aren’t focussing” my mother warned, interrupting my mental spiral. “Because there is too much to fo
“S!” My mother exclaimed. “You did it!” I span around to face my mother and Nate, who both possessed wide grins on their faces. My mother threw her arms around me, almost squeezing the life out of me. “I knew you could do it” she smiled. “Hopefully next time I won’t almost have us struck by lightening beforehand” I shook my head in disbelief, as I mentally replayed the havoc I had recently caused. “It would be nice” my mother laughed, before kissing me on the cheek. “I’m proud of you, S”. “Thanks, mum”. She nodded back at me, still smiling. “Well I’ll go find your father and then we will head back”, she told me as she headed back towards the trees we had shortly came through. I turned to Nate, who was watching me with pride evident in his expression. His raven hair was slightly blowing as a gentle breeze pushed past us. The sun was shining down onto his tanned face, illuminating his sharp jaw line and cheekbones. He looked so handsome.
Before me stood my deliciously handsome mate. The speed of my heart rate dramatically increased as I took in his appearance. There he was, in all his glory, the King himself. His velvety, black tailored suit fit him perfectly. Not too tight, not too loose. His fitted shirt was crisp white and was complimented with a black bow tie. His raven locks were brushed neatly to the side, but his hair or suit wasn’t the centre of attention. His imperial crown sat perfectly on his head, demonstrating his importance and status. It had white fur lining, which supported the solid gold frame that had aquamarine stones dotted around the core before growing into a solid gold cross in the centre. Two studded arches rose from the sides of the gold frame, meeting in the centre of the cross. The crown was finalised with aquamarine lining from the gold frame up to the centre of the cross. He looked magnificent… breathtaking. His eyes fixated on mine and I almost choked on my own
Silence surrounded the room as the guests became unsure on what to say. I turned my attention from Nate to the crowd before me and I was met with many different facial expressions. Some were confused, some were delighted and one… one looked like she was trying to burn me alive with her eyes. Alexis. Does she really despise me this much already? I made a mental note to ask Nate his history with her, because whatever it was she clearly had no intention on letting it go. “LONG LIVE OUR FUTURE QUEEN!” A voice shouted out, pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see where the shouting originated from, only to see Maddie stood before me with her glass raised and a reassuring smile on her face. I couldn’t have been more thankful for her in that moment, as the silence felt as if it was eating me alive. “LONG LIVE THE FUTURE QUEEN!” Shouted many others in unison. The sound filled my heart with warmth as I let out a breath
My eyes widened as dominance consumed Nate. He chucked the handcuff sets on the bed before stepping closer to me. “Stand up” he demanded. As if my legs had a mind of their own, I rose from the bed and stood before him. “Turn around”. I did as asked and turned to face the bed, with my back towards him. He ran his fingers down my arms, leaving goosebumps where he trailed. He reached for one side of my hair, before moving it across to the other side and leaving one shoulder bare. I felt his lips press against the back of my neck, forcing me to let out a gasp at the surprise touch, before he trailed kisses along the top of my shoulder. He placed a hand on my exposed thigh from the slit of my dress and seductively ran it up my leg. I rested the back of my head against his chest as I enjoyed the sensations of his touch. A pool of wetness began to form between my legs as he lent down to my ear. The feeling of his hot breath against my skin had the
I suddenly became very conscious of the fact that I was restrained, as the metal cuffs limited any movement from my arms and legs. Nate stood before me, with his lips partially parted as his deep, green eyes gazed down at me. He seductively ran the tip of his tongue across his upper lip, as the corners turned upright. “This is going to be fun” his voice was husky but riddled with hunger. He lent forward and reached out for my ankle, softly running his tongue down the inner side of my foot. The ticklish feeling raised goosebumps along my thigh, as I watched him progressively trail his tongue from my ankle up to my hip. He didn’t break eye contact, not once. He was composed, enjoying my wriggling underneath him as he made my senses come alive with complete control. His warm, wet tongue had my heart fluttering with excitement as he continued to tease me. He wrapped his arms underneath me and positioned my thighs on his shoulder, leaving no spot between my leg
