My mate was previously abused by her ex-boyfriend. I already see myself wooing her forever. I didn’t want her to feel or remember that anymore, so I promised that I would do everything I could just to make her happy. Without her knowing, she was sitting on the gamma’s floor, and my room was next to hers. She’s a human, so she never smelled my scent whenever I was there.
Our queen was the main reason she was here, so I also owe everything to her. I will ensure her safety and her being my mate’s best friend. I will be able to protect them at the same time. I was thankful to the moon goddess for giving me a submissive mate. No offense meant, but I don’t know how to handle her if she was like Queen Clover. Even Alder was having a hard time making her submit to him.
I looked at my mate, who was sleeping soundly beside me. We had intense love-making earlier, and even if I wanted her again, I think she needed a rest. She’s human and won’t be able to keep up with my stamina. I remember the first time we did this and, at the same time, the day that I marked her. I didn’t explain further, but I already had a feeling that she knew we were different.
*** Flashback ***
We made love that day, and when I told her to avoid me if she wanted to. But she didn’t and accepted me instead. I was the happiest at that time. The next morning, I explained to her about our kind. Of course, she had no choice but to accept it. But when I asked her if she was fine with it, she smiled at me and said yes. On the other hand, Clover was furious at me, thinking I hadn’t gotten her permission before marking her.
“He told me about the pain,” my mate said when the queen asked. Alder was just looking at us and was scratching the back of his head. He didn’t look like a king then, maybe because Clover reprimanded me.
“But he did not explain to you what would happen next!” she exclaimed,
“I don’t know, but I kind of liked and wanted him, so I didn’t bother to think twice,” my mate replied, which made Her Highness’s eyes roll at her.
“Come on, my love, just let them,” Alder said, but he received a glare from her.
“You agreed with him because you did the same with me.”
“It’s because you wanted to run away from me,” he replied. Before we became spectators of their arguments, I asked my mate to come with me and leave the two alone. She was worried about Clover, but I assured her that she would be alright and had nothing to worry about.
After we left them, I explained the other things to her, like when she turned into a Lycan like us. She was scared, and that was normal. She was human, and becoming a Lycan is not something that comes along to anyone. It wasn’t a normal occurrence for everyone.
“Can you show me what you look like when you, you know, shift?” she asked hesitantly.
“Of course, babe. Whatever you say,” I replied, and I saw her blush. She likes it when I am extra sweet with her, and I like it too. I got scared once because she told me that the b****** that hurt her was also sweet to her in the beginning. I shifted and showed her how huge Canyon, my Lycan, is. Her eyes widened, but there was a smile on her face. I thought she was going to get scared, but thank goddess, she didn’t.
SHE YELLED AT ME when I shifted back to my human form and found myself naked. “How could you be naked like that?” she exclaimed, and I laughed at her.
“Babe, we are always naked when we shift back to our human form,” I told her,
“When I become like you and shift to myself, I’m going to be naked too?” she asked, and I nodded. She looked flustered, but I thought she was fine, so I got dressed. I didn’t want her to think that I only wanted to bed her, even though it was what I really wanted to do to her every time that we were together. I can’t help it. For me, she was the most beautiful creature and nothing else.
“When you already have your Lycan, you are going to mark me, OK?” I told her.
“Marked? As in, I’m going to bite you too?”
“Yes,”
“Why?”
“That is how you are going to tell everyone that I am yours. Like how I tell everyone that you are mine,” I replied. I’m pretty sure that she was still confused, but she’ll come around. She’s open-minded and willing to know everything. Marking her before I told her about us was a great idea. It was a lot easier for me to explain things to her and easier for her to accept them as her feelings guided her throughout.
“Ahm, how about Clover? I mean, Her Highness?” she asked,
“I’m sure that Clover already told you to call her by her name, right?”
“Yes, but she’s still our queen, and it was inappropriate to call her by her name,” she replied,
“You are the only person that she was close with here in the palace, so you don’t have to think about hierarchy when it was just the two of you or even when there were Alder and Lance.” I told her, “Just as I called the King by his name when it was just us, you can do it with her highness. But remember to be formal when someone else could hear you,” I added. She understands what I mean because it happens everywhere. Even a maid to her or his boss can do that if they form a bond and trust in each other.
“Thank you for accepting me. I am not pure, and I don’t think I deserve you or your love, but still–” she said, and I shut her up with a kiss. I capped her face after and said,
“I am not either. I bedded many female Lycans, and there might be a time when they come to you and tell you nonsense to hurt you or to separate us, but I want you to know that they were all before you came into my life. Now that I have you, I promise that you will be the only one for me and no one else. That I can assure you.” It was the truth, and I never had a day that I did not fu** a female Lycan. But after I met her, mate, I changed instantly. I only had my eyes on her, and nothing mattered to me except her. I just hope that she’ll forgive me if some of my flings backfired on me.
*** End of Flashback ***
Wow, it had only been two weeks ago when I marked her, but I was so into her. As I watch her in her sleep now, I can’t wait for the day that she will have her beast. I want her to mark me and make me hers already. I kissed her forehead before I closed my eyes. Then I hugged her and slept soundly. The moment she accepted me was the moment that I started to sleep in peace, and I loved the feeling.
