NALEDI’S POV
I was dying.
I regretted asking him out the moment he walked out the door.
In the hours I’ve been locked here alone, all I thought of was Caellum. My body fell apart and like a woman in travail, my sorrow multiplied.
I banged on the door until I couldn’t, begging someone, anyone to help me. My skin was hot, too hot for me to bear. I needed to quench the fire within me.
No one deserved this, no one deserved to go through such pain alone. I couldn’t feel my wolf anymore. Somewhere along the line, she had retreated or maybe died of the pain I put her through by sending her mate out the door.
I wished I could turn back the hands of time, and tell him to stay, to help me, but it was too late. He was gone and I had a hunch he would not be returning anytime soon.
In my distress, I sent a wild card to all and sundry, hoping someone would show up, and help satiate this burning need inside of me to be dominated. To end this madness once and for all.
I’d convinced myself that it wouldn’t be bad if I was marked by some unsuspecting male. It wouldn’t be bad if I completed the mating ceremony with someone other than my mate so I got to alleviate the pain.
Without knowing, I spread my scent throughout the place, like a trap waiting for the catching of a male, bold and daring enough to fuck the Alpha’s mate. I felt a thrill inside of me at the prospect of it.
I lay on the floor of the room, aching when the door suddenly flung open. Caellum looked crazed as he entered into the room, walking straight for me.
“Mate!” His tone was deeper than usual, sending sparks through the mate bond. “Mine!” He growled again, this time angry.
I could feel his anger, but I didn’t care to know the reason behind it. Charged with strength from being in his eyesight, I leapt for him, covering his lips with mine in an intensive kiss.
Caellum easily took over, leading us to the bed as he shed the semblance of clothing I had left on my body. “Mine!” He chanted every time he kissed a part of me.
My ears, neck, eyes, nose, lips, and everything else. My body sizzled with need, wanting more, much more than he was giving. My claws elongated, and I slashed his clothes open, leaving him naked as the day he was born.
My instinct was to reach for his member, wanting his balls deep inside me but he held my hands, hindering me from proceeding. “My rules.” He growled, adding a bit of pressure on his hand when I refused to let go.
Caellum took his time, getting me ready, which I couldn’t see the use of as I’d been dripping and ready to receive him for over eight hours now. He was delaying my gratification, dangling the meal in my eyes but never letting me have a taste of it.
His actions made me angry much more than anything and in a fit of rage, I grabbed him by the balls and pushed him on the bed, slipping him into my folds in one breath.
I sucked in a deep breath as he stretched me, happy to finally get him right where I wanted. My body burned with need, and I put in the work, riding out my euphoria that built with every stroke.
I continued like that and soon, achieved my first high. I wasn’t satisfied, my libido was to no end, and with Caellum’s member deep inside me, I didn’t feel as much pain as before.
Being with him took the pain away.
Caellum flipped me around the next time, taking over. I thought he’d be angry by my little act but revise was the case. He wore a shit-eating grin and in that moment, I think I might have fallen a little bit more in love.
“Like that?” I heard his voice in my head and my eyes widened. “I’ll be taking over now, mate. Hold on tight.”
True to his words, Caellum slammed into me, hitting every spot as he rammed his dick right up my alley. Hard, fast and relentless. With every hit I was sent a bit closer to the edge while I held him for the life of me, floating in cloud nine.
I couldn’t lie, fucking while on heat took the cup. No wonder it was said to be a remarkable way to complete the mate bond and darn your life to be with one person forever.
It was euphoric being with Caellum as he took the pain away. With every sweet stroke, he chased the demons and drew me a bit closer to heaven. I’d lost count of how many times I had gone over the edge, only to have him chase me right back and repeat the action again.
As the rounds increased, I felt a gaping hole in my neck. I shook my head knowing that it was the mate bond fucking with me, trying to get me to obey nature’s call and let myself be marked but I refused.
Getting Caellum to fuck me drove the pain away in the most beautiful way. If I could get him to be with me all through the remaining days I had left then I was going to be fine.
At the close of three days, I’d be good as new, and everything about this experience would take the back bench. There was no need to complicate things more than they already were. The last thing I wanted was to send off mixed signals to him – not like I wasn’t already but you know what I mean.
The entire night was spent in the arms of Caellum who never got tired of getting me off, and even after countless orgasms he’d given me, he rocked me to sleep right inside of me, cuddling me tightly and never letting go even when I fell into the abyss of sweet slumber.
