Madeline, the Luna Queen

Chapter 8 - Madeline's POV

As Madeline was waking up her entire body was sore and her neck was throbbing. For a second she didn't open her eyes, she didn't want to see him. A King wasn't like Kane in her vision which meant that all the rumors she heard through the years were true. He was a brute, a vicious killer who earned his title by force. If that was true, she would have to thread carefully around him. She wondered why did the Goddess sent her such a mate... but he already marked her which meant she can't reject him as she planned while waiting for him in the small tree house. There was no point in fighting, she had to be smarter. Her mother was right, she is going to be crowned as their first Queen and that she liked. Madeline slowly opened her eyes and as she saw Kane standing next to her she thought he was more handsome than the last time she saw him, maybe an hour ago.

,, I am sorry, but you left me no choice, but to mark you. " he spoke softly.,, There is no point in resisting the mating bond." he continued.,, We are leaving in a few days, we will arrive in Wolfsbane fully mated." Madeline opened her mouth to protest, but she remembered that she chose to be smarter.,, You have already marked me. It is clear to everyone that we are mates and I am sure not a single male would dare approach me. I would like to know you a bit better before we take the next step... " but she couldn't finish her sentence as Kane interrupted her.,, No. We are not negociating. It is useless to try to fight it. I will take what is mine, as the Goddess ordained. I have waited for you for far too long, you will come to terms with it or not, your choice. " he said in a demanding tone. Madeline's eyes filled with tears. She was trying hard to control herself, but he was stubborn as a mule. She realised that there wasn't much she could do for the moment and she was sure fighting him would be pointless. Then she remembered her father.,, What did you do to my father? "she asked.

,, I let him go with a warning because he was your dad. Otherwise..." he paused and smirked.,, Warning for wanting to protect me?! " Madeline burst at him with an angry voice.,, You are even more beautiful when you are angry." Kane replied laughing.,, You think hurting others is funny?" she spat.,, No sweetheart, I already told you I only punish the rebels. If anyone dares to cross me, they will suffer the consequences. It is that simple." he replied as he extended his hand to help Madeline get up.,, We should go, your mother is worried, after all I left you in her care..." Kane said.,, Are you going to punish her? " Madeline asked in a condescendent tone.,, I might if you won't be a good girl and obey me. Let's get a move on." he replied and jumped out of the tree house. Madeline was impressed at how flawlessly he was moving.,, Come on sweetheart, I don't like waiting." he called. She rolled her eyes and jumped down as well, but Kane caught her before she reached the ground. Their eyes met and Madeline was taken aback. His lips locked hers in a kiss and it felt like electricity was flowing through her body. The world was spinning and she almost melted right there in his arms. As he ended their kiss, his lips trailed down her neck to the marking. The moment he kissed it, she felt her arousal explode and a moan escaped her lips. Kane looked at her and smirked.,, Mine! " he growled. He started carrying her to the house in what seemed like the speed of light for Madeline.,, Put me down! I can walk!" she demanded, even though she enjoyed being in his arms.,, Not as fast as I can. " he replied.,, I didn't know we are in a hurry! "

" Now you know. "

" And what is the rush? " Madeline asked.

" To make you mine. To torment your body with infinite pleasure." he said in a husky voice. Her arousal spiked yet again and she was sure he felt it too.

,, I don't want to march in there like this." she finally said. He didn't reply, but when they could see the lights from the villa he put her down.,, Behave! "Kane ordered as he kissed her forehead. Madeline nodded in acceptance. They entered the villa hand in hand. Nobody was in the hallway.,, I will go to my room." she told Kane trying to free herself from his grasp.,, Our room. " he corrected her.,, My room. In this house I have my room and you have yours. " He sighted and Madeline thought he was going to give in, but he put her on his shoulder and started climbing the stairs. She wanted to scream, but did not want everyone to see her in this position.,, Put me down!!" she whispered really annoyed. No reply. Before she could do or say anything he reached his guestroom. Kane put her down and locked the door behind him. She looked at him with so much anger.,, I need things from my room." she demanded.,, Ask the servants to bring them. You are not leaving this room." He replied as he was getting clean clothes from the wardrobe.,, I will go take a shower, meanwhile call them for your things and tell them to bring food too, please. I didn't get the chance to eat." and he got into the bathroom leaving the door open. Madeline sat on the side of the bed and thought for a brief second if another escape is worth it, but reached the conclusion that it would be useless, besides he could take it out on her family and she couldn't bear it. She called for dinner and her stuff. Just as he was exiting the shower they brought everything.,, I will go and wash. " Madeline said and closed the bathroom door behind her. She stepped into the shower, turned on the hot water and let it flow over her body for a few good minutes. The mark was burning at the touch of water, but she knew in a couple of hours it would be completely healed. Werewolves would heal very fast, except for when they were badly injured. She stepped out of the shower, briefly dried her hair with a towel and put on her pink silk robe. She went to look in the mirror, cleanse her face and apply some night cream. Then she would put on her pajamas, she usually slept in a nightgown, but that would be too risky, and she would hope for the best! Madeline heard the bathroom door open and saw Kane sitting in the doorway smirking.
