The Bachelor Billionaire and his Mate

Episode 10

Nathaniels pov.

It has been 3,5 years since I expelled Liana, it has not become easier to control my desire, or my bl**dlust I AM c**n**e, I have been having blackouts lately I know when I comes too that Ryker has been hunting but somehow he always ends up drenched in bl**d and he revels in it, I can feel it. It has gotten so bad lately that I had demanded myself locked away, but to no avail, when Ryker wants out there are no stopping him.

So here I am facing the council a bunch of old crows I had handpicked myself to ensure my laws was upheld, and how I did regret that decision right now. My father is just a impartial bystander but still respected.

“Alpha listen to what we say, this has gotten out of hand, and you haven’t even considered taking a chosen mate since your own mate continues to be absent, who knows she might has lost her life at some point. We are thinking of the future of our race, of the continuation of the Lycan bloodline, and we had hoped that Liana could have been a suitable substitute, but you decided to sack her the moment she advanced on you.

If you are unwilling to do your duty as an alpha and a king we are forced to take in other considerations, we have thought ma….” I growls at him at what he is implying, and I can see him flinch by the power inside of me.

“WHO ARE YOU TO TALK TO ME! How dare you threaten me I will make you regret how you were ever been born. I am the KING BORN TO RULE and NOONE beside the goddess herself will be able to make me think otherwise, besides I don’t need a lowly desperate b*tch to grovel at the floor before me because she is interested in the title and afraid of me, which WILL happen. I will NEVER consider taking a chosen mate, because there is no way they will succeed in satisfying me, and they will d*e trying, because Ryker as well as me feels that no one but our true mate will have the calming affect on us. Should you hoever try to force me to take a mate I hope you don’t have her in high regard, and she would have to be dispensable, because she will not make it.”

“Sir.. How can you say such a thing? Do you wish d**th and destruction upon everyone, we can´t have a rapid animal ruling our spe…” he didn´t get to finish before I had him by his throat, I was seeing red, how dare he? I demand respect. Suddenly I felt a much-known presence behind me and I could see the whole counsel scrunch up in disgust.

I felt him move before he looked at me “let go of your pack member.” I felt compelled to do as he said, dang vampire.

Suddenly Darien Black was standing between me and the counselmember.

“What are you doing here? Creatures like yourself has nothing to do in these council meetings, you are an abomination. Don’t you have a hole to crawl back to.” Elder Scott said, and Darien just smirked.

“Well for one since your alpha king has imprinted on me, the only thing keeping you alive right now is MY presence. I don’t argue with your intentions, but the legends claim that should a Lycan be born he will be granted one mate and one only, should he not be able to locate his mate before his 45'th birthday he will descend into madness and rid the world of everyone he judges to be unfit. So right now, I am staying between you, to keep your sorry ass life in place.

As for where I came from, you know very well I have been here for a long time, my mate is one of the originals inhibitors, and to be blunt I am here to keep your petty life intact, I am currently the only one capable of helping your Alpha.

Considering you are thinking about replacing the goddess chosen ruler makes me think if it wasn´t for the better, just to let him loose.

To be fair I might be an abomination, but I am a product of the goddess and the original ancestor to my entire race, until the goddess deemed us worthy to have mates and procreate that is, I dare you to speak ill of me because I will walk out that door, and not look back while I turn the key and leave you in here with your king who you patronizes and threatens, then tomorrow i will come back inside and rid every trace of you.”

I felt my pride curl through me, along with fury, yeah I might be an animal to my feelings right now but I could truly feel what he said, but I let it go when I looked at the council members and they shivered, the room was reeking of fear and they shivered, I couldn´t help but smirk at them as I touched Dariens arm.

“It´s okay Darien my council knows their place and does only want what is best for our kingdom, sometimes they forgot that I was the one who made this a reality and I could just so easily remove it again. If there wasn´t anything else, you are excused.” I said and they all mumbled and bowed down in respect.

I waited to the last members was out the door before I turned to Darien, and I didn’t miss my father pointed look (great I am in for a talking to):

“The ONLY way I tolerate you talking about me like that, when I am actually present is because I was about to lose it, so even though I don’t appreciate it – thank you. I know I was about to go berserk on them, bloody old prunes. I can´t help it, I am losing my temper in front of them, and the pain I have been feeling regularly isn’t helping much.” I confessed to my brother from another mother. I saw him turn his sharp gaze at me.

“PAIN? You are a Lycan you shouldn´t be feeling pain as you are immune to pretty much everything, except nightshade according to the only scrolls I have ever read about the topic. I don’t know what to think, but we need to go now!” I saw the red tinge in his eyes, and I had about learned what that implied. I inwardly cursed the goddess for prohibiting Darien from drinking from his mate, because it was a necessity to the safety of their daughter who was know 10, and the ban stood for 18 years, and the conversation I had with her about her worries, and she wouldn’t mind it so much if I stayed as his vasal, because she trusted me knowing when something happens during his feeding time it did not mean the same as it would otherwise.

I could see his will and feel his need to feed. I had even at one time been in the same room as them as they were intimate because Darien had realized his need to feed while doing the act. It might sound weird but it wasn´t so weird as it might seem, its not like I took part in any of it, and I had been secluded in some kind of water bubble that was both soundproof and view proof the only thing I felt was when he fed on me.

We arrived at my room at before the door even closed he put me on the bed. Before he turned my head to the side and bit down, normally I worked on having bloodbags of my own blood to him, but other times like now you could tell it was not an option, so I caved in. My reservations about this whole arrangement blew over quickly, and Ryker tended to retreat to the back, until we were done.

He sighed as he caressed my cheekbones, running a hand over my stubble, when he was finished he stopped and turned my head, and like some depraved lunatic I kissed him finding comfort from all the madness around me in his nearness.

He kissed me back, there wasn´t any s*xual tension between us, there were just us. When I draw back I laid back on the bed, before I looked up at him “will you please stay here, you know my mind and my temper is more relaxed when you are present.” I asked him feeling like a vulnerable teenager, he just shrugged and laid down next to me and, putting an arm around me, before we dozed of.
