Crescent Curse

Chapter Seven

Skye's POV

After getting our swimsuits on and packed a couple things for our outing I went to Diana's room to retrieve her. We separated after I got called to Dad's office. Mom had gone and tattled on me like a child to dad about me finding from her and leaving Sophia before I was granted permission from them.

Dad sighed when I entered and crossed his arms. "Son, I gave you a simple order."

"Dad, I promise you I only went to eat lunch with Diana and Nathan. That's all. We didn't go very far, plus I had extra guards in Sophia's ward. There's no way anyone would've gotten to her before being caught." I told him.

He sat up and smirked at me slightly. "So you and the hybrid are getting along well?" Of course all he heard was my mates name.

My cheeks felt warm and I looked away from him. "Yes, Dad. She and I have spoken about the wedding. She agreed to let me mark her." Dad stood up, his chair scraping against the wood floor.

"Fantastic!" he clapped his hands. "I can't wait to be a grandpa again!"

"No!" I shook my head. "I won't mate with her until she is ready!"

Dad's frown deepened. "Seriously?"

I nodded. "She's a virgin Dad. I won't force her to mate with me if she doesn't want to. Plus I'm not ready for kids, and I'm sure she isn't either yet." I said with a sigh. Dad nodded in understanding. But Mom, she scoffed.

"That simply won't do, Skye. Once you two are married you'll be the new King and Queen of the Lycan Kingdom. An heir is needed."

"We have an heir."

Her brows furrowed. "No we don't. Unless you have knocked up some whore." Her eyes narrowed at me, as if I was that careless.

"No, I didn't get some omega pregnant. I'm smarter than that mother." I sighed again. "I was talking about, Nathan.

"He can't be King. His father was a human." Mom scolded me for making such a suggestion. Her eyes glowed brighter as she grew more angry.

"Mom, I'm only going to say this once. I love you, but I'm tired of you trying to micromanage my life. I'm twenty years old. Yes I have a mate, but I won't force her to sleep with me just because you want an heir that's more beast than human. It's ridiculous."

Dad covered his mouth to hide the smirk her had on his face. Instead of asking to be excused, I stared at Mom for a good ten seconds before leaving my father's office.

About an hour later I was going to grab Diana from her room. I wore a simple pair of swimming pants and a white singlet. I wasn't trying to look sexy, I was going for a simple look. But I noticed a few omegas gawking at me as I went towards my mates room.

Mom made sure she was in the room furthest from mine. I shook my head just thinking about the distance. But once we're married I know Mom and Dad will move both of us to the south wing. Thankfully that one isn't too far, and the room has a nice view of the grounds. You can see the huge garden my father loves, the horses that Sophia begged for and the lake that I was taking Diana too.

Once I got to her room I could hear her talking on the phone, but knocked anyways. She didn't answer the door until she was off the phone, which was fine by me. I don't mind giving her privacy. I smiled brightly, once her delicious scent hit me when she opened the door to her living quarters. But my smile dropped as Diana turned away, but her turning isn't what made me frown. It was the way she tried to hide the fact that she had tears brimming her eyes.

"Everything alright, love?" I asked, my tone was full of concern. I couldn't hide it even if I tried.

"Yeah." She sniffled then turned back to me with a smile on her beautiful face. My frown deepened, I hated that she didn't want to talk about what has upset her. But I'll let it slide, just this once.

"Ready to go?" I asked her, changing the subject.

"Yes, I just got to grab my bag." Diana left me and went into the living room, I followed and couldn't stop my wandering eyes as she went past the couches and into her bedroom. The swimsuit she wore made my little guy excited. It was a one-piece, and it made her ass look bigger. Now my gorgeous mate was blessed in all the right places. She had a nice firm ass and thick thighs that made most of her shorts ride up a bit as she walked. And I have nice seen her in her family gym back in Canada where she grew up. Her breasts moved along with her as she worked out. I just wanted to feel how soft they were.

I adjusted myself and tried to get rid of the thoughts of what I could do to her body. My stupid thoughts only made me more hard, so I had to keep adjusting myself so she wouldn't see the effect she has on me just by seeing her in that sexy purple swimsuit.

Diana emerged from the room, a translucent shirt that looked like it matched her outfit. Damn she looked beautiful. She wasn't even wearing makeup and looked radiant. Perhaps it was the mate bond, but I feel like a lucky son of b***h for having her as my future wife and mother of my pups.

"I'm ready!" Diana smiled up at me as she came over to me.

"You look so beautiful.." I murmured, unable to stop myself from telling her the truth. A blush formed on her cheeks and went down her neck at my complement. "Thank you, Skye." her voice was low and soft, her eyes cast down as she spoke.

I reached out and grasped her chin and made her look up at me. Her heart rate picked up once our eyes locked. "I mean it Diana. You are so beautiful it makes my heart stop anytime I'm near you." The words just kept spilling from me, my beast purred and I knew I was screwed. He used the calling on her, something only us Lycans can do. But only with our mates. Usually it's to help calm our significant other, but at this moment, he was using it to bring her closer to us. Almost like a mating call.

I never understood how it worked until I found my mate. I'd joke around anytime I heard my father using it on my mother, but it was normally used when Mom was being— well, to put it nicely, Dad used it if Mom was being a total b***h.

Diana's eyes slowly turned golden, her wolf coming to the surface upon hearing the calling my beast gave. I leaned down, my lips barely touching hers. But before I could press them against hers... she pulled away.

"I-I'm sorry." Diana mumbled and walked around me.

I sighed, she had nothing to be sorry for. It was the one at fault here, had I not been observing her beauty, then my beast wouldn't have felt the need to bring out the calling. I shook my head and followed after her. She stood by the entrance, silently waiting on me since she didn't know where to go.

I gave her a smile, then took her arm and linked it with mine. I heard her let out a sigh of relief, realizing I wasn't upset or cared about over her backing away from the kiss.

I can say that I wanted so badly to feel how soft those lips of hers are, but I understand how she feels about me...yet. I pray that when I mark her that will change. I just have to be patient enough to let the bond form.
