Alastair

Chapter 2

I woke up to find Esme missing, my heart started racing as the thoughts of her being in danger flooded into my mind wrapping my heart in a vise and squeezing making it hard to breath. I shot out of bed and raced down the hallway. I saw one of the servant's.

"Where is she?" I boomed. "Where the f**k is she?" staring at the servant who was looking around frantically. Than the front door opened and Shucky came padding in I looked up locking eyes with my mate. Without hesitation I smashed her against my chest holding her tightly.

"You scared me." I said with my breathing heavy. She ran her fingers up and down my spin calming my fire, calming the demon side of me who wanted to burst through.

"I am sorry Alastair, Shucky needed to go out to relive himself and I didn’t want to wake you." she said softly.

I took her hand and led her back to our room, I heard her whistle and pat her leg softly than her pet came bolting past us. My breeder did a fine choice when picking him, I know he will protect her with his life. Once we made it to the room I ushered her inside closing the door behind us and turning the lock into place.

"I need to work again today. Please will you stay with me?" I asked her. I have been trying to stay calm and kind so I do not scare her away. I have not explained everything to her yet and I needed her to stay.

"Of course, I am going to take a shower…" she said looking down. "Would you care to join me?" I was taken back with surprise, she wanted me to join her.

"Yes" i said gruffly trying to hide the lust in my voice. 'You must not scare  her.' I told myself.

We walked into the washroom, I reached in starting the steady flow of water as I watched her undress. My eyes went wide and my Demon side roared to life, the fire flooding my body until I was consumed. There where scars, bruises, and cuts all over her beautiful milky skin. I could feel the rage and unstable anger rising to the surface, soon my skin was black and tough, a crown of thrones emerged from my head along with a pair of long sharp horns, the fire consumed my eyes and talons replaced my finger nails. My breathing was becoming labored. I let out a load snarl, she turned to see my emotional state had completely overtaken my body, she looked confused and than realized I had never seen the marks he left on her body until now. 

"I'm Sorry Alastair, please forgive." she said as she pulled a towel off its rode, wrapping it around her she made a move to run from the bathroom. I stepped in front of her blocking the door, she stopped gripped the towel tighter, her head was hung low and she was shaking uncontrollably she was an odd human, she didn't fear me in this form she feared my anger. "Please. Please don’t hurt me.."

As soon as I heard her words my Demon was gone and my form was of a man again.

"Esme." I said reaching out to her only to see her pulling away from me with fear. I took another step forward placing my hands on her shoulders forcing her to stay in place. "I will never hurt you. You are my mate, the keeper of my soul. You are everything to me."

She looked up at me with tears falling down her face. "I didn’t mean to anger you." she whispered.

"I was not angry with you Angel, I am angry with the man I killed to quickly." I said taking a deep breath. "If I knew how badly her hurt you, I would have made his death longer and more painful." I stood there staring at her, waiting for a response. I expected anger, disgust, hate, fear. But she didn't give me any of those, she was just standing there quietly, I dropped my hands to my side turning to walk out of the washroom, she needed space. As soon as I was about to walk through the doorway a small hand gripped my wrist, I looked down seeing her hand my eyes followed her arm up to her eyes, there was pain, sadness, and something else.

"I need you." she whispered. Dropping her hand and backing away. "Please stay.." she dropped her towel and it took everything I had in me to stay calm. She still wanted me here. That was the greatest feeling. I stepped back in removing my pants and stepping into the shower behind her. Her body shape was perfection. All of her was perfection. Her legs long, her hips wide and ready to hold my children, her ass looked like a ripe peach her stomach was flat and her breasts where full but not to big. Her neck begging and calling me to mark it right on the most sensitive part. She was made for me in everyway. I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her back to me. She never resisted, she came willingly laying her head back on my chest letting out a small sigh of relief.

"Alastair?" she said

"Yes Angel?" I replied taking the body wash from its corner squeezing some into my hand before placing it back. I started washing her stomach nice and slow but firm circles.

"What did you mean when you said I was your mate?" she was nervous I could tell as her voice shook.

"It’s a long story, but me being the King of all dark creatures I need a Queen, a mate. She is there to aid me, calm me, love me and protect me as well as producing offspring. But most importantly you hold my soul that I lost almost a thousand years ago. You are very important to me and I can not afford to lose you, I have lost to much already." I explained, she started moving I thought she was going to push me away but instead she turned in my arms so she could rest her head on my chest.

"I hope I don’t let you down." she said. My heart was in a tight vise again, I hated the thought of her not feeling good enough. She was far better than me and I knew I didn’t deserve her. I never would. I didn’t reply, instead I wrapped my arms around her placing a kiss to the top of her head. I rest my face there as we just stood there holding each other with warm water washing over us. I am not sure how long we stood there, when I saw her pruned finger tips I insisted we get out. I turned the water off stepping out and grabbing the puffy towel she dropped on the floor up so I could wrap it around her when she followed me. I grabbed a towel for myself putting it around my waist, I took her hand and led her to the mirror, sitting her down on the vanity chair I got the brush and started running it through her hair. She closed her eyes and let out a little satisficed moan. I liked the way my touch effected her, I would be lying If I said she didn’t effect me the same. Every time she kisses or touches my arm I want to take her right than and there. But I want her to make the first move in the bedroom, I will give her that control.  It was hard letting her have it though, the demon in me wanted to consume her, mark her, make her ours for the rest of eternity.

"Come." I said taking her hand. I led her to the bed guiding her to lay on her stomach as I took the towel off her body. I went back into the washroom looking through the wooden cabinet tucked behind the door, I found the lavender infused oil I was looking for. I made my way back into the room, she hadn't moved, she was beautiful. I walked over and climbed on the bed next to her side. Opening the little glass container I dripped some of the oil along her spin. Than I started to gently work it in with my finger tips, I could feel her whole body relax under my touch. She let out a deep breath wiggling herself further down onto the bed.

"Mmm, that feels really nice Alastair." she said with a soft moan.

"Good. Just relax, let me take care of you." I said. She just nodded with a big smile. Soon she was sound asleep. I just smiled picking her up softly moving the blankets back and placing her nicely onto the sheets and pulling the covers over her. I went to the other side throwing my towel to the ground and climbing in next to her. I wrapped my arms around her pulling her into my chest than burying my face into her hair. Soon the soft smell of my mate lulled me to a deep sleep.

"PLEASE!!" Esme yelled throwing her hands around and covering her face. I could hear her heart beat racing. I flipped her onto her back shaking her and than moving myself over her. "Frank no please I beg you please no."

"ESME!!!" I yelled. "Please my love wake up!!" her eyes snap open and a loud terrified scream left her lips.

"I'm sorry, please don’t hurt me." she begged. I could tell she wasn’t fully awake or aware of what was going on around her. I leaned down and kissed her softly.

"Please my love wake up, come back to me." I begged. She left a soft moan rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Alastair, I am sorry." she said softly. Her hands made their way to down to my hips her grip was firm yet so soft. She leaned up placing a longing kiss to my lips, she pulled back slightly gauging my reaction. I leaned in placing one just as wanting to her lips. She moved one of her hands from my hips to my face. She pulled with both hands begging me down on to her more. I lower myself into her pull, soon our chests were flush against each other. I could feel her warmth seeping into my skin. I wanted, no I needed more. I didn’t want to scare her so I started moving off of her. She groaned pulling me back down keeping our lips together in a passionate kiss.

"I don't want to scare you Angel." I said taking a breath.

"Please Alastair, I need to feel you, I need you to make me forget.." she said with her eyes begging me to stay. I lowered myself back down placing myself between her legs. I felt her legs move up grasping my sides squeezing slightly. I lowered myself lower placing my hard shaft against her slick warm entrance. I slightly moved my hips letting her feel my size, she let out a soft moan throwing her head back and gripping my hips tighter between her legs. I couldn’t stop myself from moving against her more, pressing myself down on her more until my d**k was coated in her sweet juices. She opened her eyes looking at me begging my to enter. To fill her.

"Please." she whispered. I took a deep breath before placing the tip of my d**k at the entrance of her core, I pushed myself into her little by little until I was fully seated inside of her. Her legs squeezed tighter, her hands gripped my shoulders tightly her head tilted back and her eyes closed, she opened her mouth and the sweetest moan escaped. I leaned down capturing her n****e between my lips, I sucked it into my mouth and gave it a small nip, she thrust her chest into my mouth more, moaning as she did. Her grasp moved from my shoulders to the back of my hair gripping it tightly. I let her n****e free trailing kisses from her chest up to her neck, moving to place kisses along her jawline to her cheeks stopping to taste her mouth, I captured her lips in a deep kiss, licking her bottom lip and giving it a small nip asking for her to let me in. She allowed me to enter, I roughly explored her with my tongue tasting sweet peaches and vanilla ice cream. I wanted more, I demanded more as I started working my hips faster, harder until we were caught in a frenzy of pleasure. I could feel her body starting to shake as her climax was building, I placed my hand between us rubbing little figure eights on her swollen bud until her whole body was rocked by her climax, she was squeezing me begging to milk me for everything I had, I released my warm thick seed into her as I bent down kissing her neck where one day I will mark her. 

"I love you Esme." I said quietly. Before picking her up and talking her to the washroom to clean her up before I started work. Once I was finished I showed her the clothing I had picked out for her and I gave her a cell phone. Shucky followed her every step like a black shadow. He moved when she moved, stopped when she did. She got dressed and made herself comfortable next to the fire under a warm blanket and a book she pulled from the shelf. I sat down and began writing emails to all the lords in the dark realm. I was planning a gathering to introduce everyone to their new Queen. It would give them hope in finding their mates at last. Firstly I wrote one to Victor the lord of the Vampires, than Rowen the lord of the Dark Elves following him was Evan the lord of the Dark Faye. They all needed their mates soon they were becoming restless. Meeting Esme would be a great help. My phone rang, I picked up answering it to find that our Matilda was up to no good and it involved my sweet mate. I roared as I slammed the phone down, letting my Demon take over before standing to grab her into my arms. I saw Shuck stand in front of her ready to fight if I was to harm her. She looked up from her book and immediately sat it down on the end table. She placed a calming touch to her companions head than stood on the sofa so I was eye level with her, she ran her hand down my face before wrapping her arms around me. I said nothing I just picked her up and headed for the door. Shucker following closely behind never taking his eyes off his beloved owner. We made our way down to the cells under my castle. I sat Esme on her feet and as she placed her hand on her now full grown hellhound, he was glued to her side. 

"Bring her out." I growled still in my Demon form.

My guards dragged my traitor maid out of the dark cell, she was thoroughly interrogated and you could tell by looking at her. They sat her down and she looked up at me smiling. 

"Have you come to your senses and rid yourself of that nasty human?" she seethed. 

I moved a little to the left so she could see my mate clearly. Matilda hissed and bolted towards my mate, Shuck grabbed her by the leg dragging her back to the cell before going back to Esme's side. My guards went to fetch her again. Once she sat down I changed back into my human form. 

"You see servant my mate is protected by a servant of the dark realm which can only mean she one day with be of our species and your queen." I said with a smile "YOU SHOW HER RESPECT!" 

"f**k you and f**k her!!!! Kill me now or I swear I will rip her apart in front of you." she spat out towards me. Than like a black flash Shucker had her out of sight, but you could hear the screams and gargles as she chocked on her own blood. Once he was finished her made his way back to her side rubbing up against her asking for rubs. With a smile she gave him what he wanted. 

"Come my love." I said taking her hand and guiding her up to the study. "We will be leaving the keep to go shopping for the gathering tomorrow evening." 

She smiled wide running into my arms and placing kisses.

I still cant believe she's my mate.
