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
It had been a five days since the social, where Nate announced I was his mate and the future Queen. All but a select few were still completely oblivious to my fae heritage and we intended to keep it that way for as long as possible. I spent Saturday morning exploring the castle grounds and getting to know members of the Royal Court with Nate, before heading into the local town with Maddie and Amber. It had felt amazing to leave the academy and participate in your average teenage girl activities, such as shopping and gossiping with your best friends. We had found the perfect dresses for the spring dance in two weeks time and I couldn’t wait for my handsome mate to rip it off me. We also found Maddie the cutest dress for her picnic with Joe later that night, but we’ll get to that in a minute. Originally, I hadn’t been too excited for the dance. What was there to be excited about when I couldn’t dance with a date like the rest of my friends? At the time, no one knew Nate was
Nate turned to the fellow students lined up against the wall, silently awaiting instructions.His lips twisted in amusement, as he observed the drowned students before him, clearly attempting not to laugh.“Maintenance will be down soon to discover what triggered the sprinklers. In the mean time, please now return to your dorms and change. You’re all permitted to miss your final class of the day” he informed them.Relief ran through me as I realised I had gotten away with my troublemaking. Students nodded and turned to walk down the hall, returning to their rooms.I linked my arm through Archie’s and smiled, letting out a satisfied huff.“Let’s go” I began to pull Archie along, following the students before us.Archie shrugged and let me lead the way.“Except you, Serena” a familiar voice said behind me, causing us to halt in our tracks.Damn it, so close. So god damn close.I heard Archie giggle at my side as I pressed my lips together and slowly turned to face Nate.I plastered on a
Horror flicked in Nate’s eyes for a moment, as reality sunk in. I jumped off Nate’s lap and ran to the window, desperate to get an understanding of what could be happening.Dread emerges in my gut as I watch young pups frantically run into their dorms, with terrified looks on their faces. The sound of their worried screams filled my ears.Nate grabs my wrist and pulls me to him, before cupping my cheeks in his hands.“I need you to stay here, do you understand?” His voice remained calm but I could see this panic in his eyes.“No, Nate I can help!” I exclaimed.He shook his head, disapproving my idea.“No, absolutely not. Serena, if anything happened to you it would kill me. I need to go handle this without worrying where you are or if you’re okay, please stay here”.“Nate, I-” I began to protest.“Promise me!” His eyes burned through me, as he desperately grasped my face.“I promise” I frowned.He let out a breath and crashed his lips onto mine, kissing me with every bit of strength h
After escorting Chloe to her dorm, I checked to make sure as many students as I could were okay. Feeling confident that they were all safely locked in their dorms, I turned on my heel to find Nate. Where could he be? I ran back to his office, hoping to find him there but nope, nowhere to be seen.Panic filled me as I began to think the worst. He promised he would return to me safely, but that was an hour ago and I know it doesn’t take that long for a King to take out one rogue.“What if he’s hurt?”I jumped at the sudden voice.I span around to see who said that, but there was no one there. Did I imagine that? I was certain I heard someone, but there is literally no one around.“You have to get to him, Serena!” The voice said again. It sounded feminine but when I turned around, there was still no one there.Am I going insane?“Please get to our mate, we have to know he’s okay!”Our mate?! There was no our, he was my- oh. Wait.“You’re in my head?” I asked, daring to sound like a crazy
Nate stumbled from the force of my push, as he looked back at me with a confused expression. Only, I didn’t have his attention for long as a loud snarl erupted behind him.Nate’s head span as he turned to face the oncoming rogue. His eyes widened as reviewed the unexpected attacker.“I’ve just put him down” Nate growled. His eyes turned black in fury, as he prepared to take it on once more. “Stay back, Serena”.“Let me help!” I exclaimed.“No, stay back” Nate insisted, before quickly jumping in front of me.I looked ahead at the injured wolf heading our way. He was tired and the pain from his leg was bothering him, but his eyes told me he was fuelled by anger and he wasn’t giving up as easy as Nate had hoped.Panic soared through me. I couldn’t allow Nate to be hurt. I had to do something, but what? My actions were limited by the Nate shaped bollard in front of me, keeping me close behind him.Sophia and John had left, and now it was just me and Nate. I knew Nate didn’t necessarily ne
“Be there in 20 minutes” Nate told the caller before he hung up, refusing to take his eyes off of me. He furrowed his eyebrows, causing frown lines to appear, as he desperately reached for my hands.“Come on, get up. We have to go” he told me frantically, urging me to get out of bed. What was going on? Was this to do with the attack? Truthfully, I’d never seen so much concern in Nate’s eyes before. But it wasn’t just that, it was anger too. He wasn’t even half as rattled as this when we were blind sighted by the final rogue’s attack.I watched as he rushed out of the room, vigorously typing messages on his phone. “What’s going on?” I called out, climbing out of the bed and wrapping myself in the silk sheets.“Get dressed, love. I’ll tell you shortly. Just hurry, please”. He didn’t even look up as he responded, he was still texting as quickly as he could.I sighed, realising the quicker I was ready the quicker I could understand the issue at hand. Only, I didn’t have any clothes in Nat
Nate’s P.O.V A low growl escaped my lips, as I tightened my grip around Serena’s waist. Anger fuelled me, as I slammed my wrist down on my desk causing those around me to jump out of their skin. If anyone thought they would even get remotely close to my mate, they would have to come through me first and I wouldn’t hesitate in ripping them to shreds. Serena softly placed her hand on my cheek and nuzzled her head in my neck. Her sweet lavender scent swirled around me, instantly putting out the flame that ignited the fire inside of me. Her scent was an aphrodisiac and I couldn’t get enough. She was everything to me. “Everything to us” Roman prompted, causing me to internally roll my eyes. “Not the time Roman” I growled. “I’m just saying”. I brushed the tip of my finger under her chin, pulling her up to look at me. Her bright, ocean blue eyes stared intently into mine, causing me to melt instantly on the spot. She wasn’t afraid, she wasn’t nervous. She was calm and confident. Her
