The Unwanted Mate

Let Me Explain: Nina's POV

"Wake up Nina?"

I opened my eyes instantly at my uncle's voice.

I jumped up and seeing he wasn't hurt, I grabbed him in a bear hug ignoring the pain raging in my head.

"You're okay!" I said smiling.

"Yes niece, I'm fine."

He smiled at me, but I the smile slowly faded.

"What's the matter, is the beast gone?" I asked felling an uneasy feeling settle in my stomach.

Uncle Robert looked at Aunt Miranda who shifted uncomfortably.

"What?" I whispered looking between the two with the uneasiness making me feel queasy.

"The beast you seen is a Lycan, they are an ancient creature, believed to have been formed from the moon God himself. They are older than werewolves, which is why we appointed them our kings and queens centuries ago. The lycan you saw earlier is of the current reigning monarchy here in North America, he's actually our future king. The ceremony for his official crowning will be held on the next full moon a month from now." Uncle Robert spoke in a rushed, but calm voice.

I looked at my uncle trying to understand why he was telling me all this, almost as if he was trying to convince me to like the beast I had seen earlier.

"Okay, Uncle why are you telling me all of this?"

"Because Nina-..." He started to say, but before he could finish his sentence, the door opened and the most beautiful man I had ever seen stepped into the room filling the small space with his dominant power. He looked about the room as if scanning it for something and then his eyes landed on me. His gray eyes closed as he slightly tilted his head to sniff the air and then he inhaled deeply. I watched transfixed by the action and just as soon as he closed his eyes the reopened, but their color was no longer grey, but a golden yellow with a hazed over glow. I gasped, remembering I seen the same set of eyes earlier except they were staring at me through the eye sockets of the beast attacking uncle Robert. I started shaking my head as the realization was setting in, "No." I shouted. But this time the command didn't work because the beautiful dark hair man started towards, as I began looking for an escape.

"You are mine." He roared and before anyone could react the man reached for me and I watch his canines grow into long white fangs.

I heard my uncle sigh while my aunt whispered not again.
