I don't know what happened in Cane's office. It was clear that something had. I asked Rory but he wouldn't tell me. He just lifted me up in his arms and carried me out of the castle. I felt so safe in his arms. The look he was giving Cane made me feel like I had finally found my protector. Someone who would look out for me with a fierceness I've never seen before.
Three hours later, we arrived at his castle. It was five times bigger than my old one. It has five massive square towers, both defensive and decorative. It was an elegant castle with thick white stone walls. It has tall wide stained-glass windows. The driveway is six miles long with pristine grass surrounding it on both sides. The cobbled stone of the driveway made a magical sound as we drove down it.
There was a lake in the middle of the front lawn. A huge sculpture of Selene rose from the middle of it. Water flowed from her hands. The grass was well manicured with several sculpted bushes. I was in awe. It was just so pretty. Like something from a magazine you could only dare to dream about.
The humer stopped in front of the castle. A man came running out welcoming Rory. He was tall, well-built and looked like an older version of Rory. It had to be his father. It was. “Son welcome back. I thought you and your friends would be gone for a few weeks.”
“I did, but something unexpected happened. I have great news. I found my mate.” Rory said, shaking his father's hand in welcome.
“Surely you are kidding. You found your mate in the woods.” His father said jokingly.
“Yes, father, and she is gorgeous. She is actually in the car. I couldn't wait another second to take her home.” He was grinning ear to ear. His happiness is clearly visible.
“I need to meet her. Oh, and we get to have a wedding. We must have a mating ceremony.” He was getting excited.
I started to describe her to him in my excitement. “She is beautiful. Short with a slight build. Platinum blond hair that flows all the way down to her round ass. It is wild with curls. Her eyes are such a light blue they are almost white. And..” Rory's father cut him off.
“Son, she is here. I can see for myself.” He was laughing as he talked. I guess he was amused by Rory's excitement. “Let's go get your mate.” he started towards the car.
“Yes father,” Rory followed after him.
He opened the car door. “Hello my dear, I am Collen, father of the king Alpha. Let me help you.” He extended his hand out to me.
I took his hand and exited the car.
I was still in awe. I kept looking around. Rory walked up to me and took my hand from his father. He led me inside. As we walked in, everyone was staring. It was then that I realized that I was filthy, and my clothes were torn. He didn't care but I did. He guided me through the castle and up to his suite.
“Why didn't we stop and greet everyone.'' I asked.
“I thought you would like to get changed and showered before we did that,” he explained.
I was staring down at the floor. “ I know i don't look the best. I would be ashamed of myself too.”
He instantly cupped my face in his hands. “ I will never be ashamed of you. You are the most beautiful creature on this planet.”
I hugged him. “Thank you, Rory. Now please leave so i can undress.”
He laughed. “Are you embarrassed to be naked around me?”
“No, but i am a virgin. I want everything to be perfect,” I said.
“As you wish, my dear.” He kissed my cheek and headed towards the door. Before he left, he asked, “Tonight after the mating ceremony?”
I froze at the thought! Tonight! Tonight will be my first time. Yes, I am experienced at some things, but not all. This will be all new.
I took off my clothes and found my way to the shower room. The hot water felt so good on my skin. A short time later, I emerged from the shower. It was then that i remembered I had brought nothing with me. “s**t!”
I looked around the room. On the bed I spotted a beautiful silver dress that shined in the light of the moon. I slipped it on. It exposed more of me than anything I ever wore in my life. It had a plunging neckline going past my belly button. It was backless and flowed down to the floor. I looked in the mirror. I barely noticed myself. I looked pretty. I always thought I was ugly.
I was so lost in thought I didn't hear Rory knock at first. The second knock was louder. “Come in.”
“Wow!” That was all I heard after he came in.
