My tortured Luna

Chapter 5

Sages POV

The sun is hitting my face like a warm pillow and I turn around. I'm lying next to something warm and it smells amazing. I'm starting to droll and Sia is purring in my mind. 'Would you please be quiet? I'm trying to sleep.' I snap and the purring stops. I snuggle closer to the warm blanket and then it groans. I snap my eyes open and look into the face of my mate. My legs is tangled around his torso and legs. My arm is around his chest and my head is lying in his armpit.

"You're not so shy in your sleep." His voice is hoarse and I lift my head to get a better look at him. He smirks when I blush. I try to pull my leg away from his body but he holds me in place.

"Don't move." It's an order and I stay still. I look away from his face and look at my legs. When did I take off my pants? I look at my body and then I jump out of the bed. Where the hell is my clothes? I'm only wearing panties and a bra. I run to the bathroom and find a towel to cover my body. When I come out of the bathroom I find my mate sitting on the edge of the bed and his eyes is red.

"I told you not to move." He snarls and I gulp. He stands up and walk over to me. He snatch the towel of my body and I squeak from the sudden movement.

"Give it to me!" I exclaime. I try to take it from him but he's too fast. He turns me around and my back hits his bare chest. I freeze up and I don't move a muscle. His breath fan my ear and I shudder.

"When I tell you to do something, you will do it." He growl into my ear. The sound is deep and it vibrates through his body and into mine. My legs is getting weaker and his arm tightens around my stomach. I feel selfconscious about my body and all the scars. My body is nothing but a chopping board, a fun tool for Jack and his men. And the fact that my mate have to see it makes me nauseous.

"Don't think like that. Your body is beautiful." My eyes widens and I squirm to get out of his hold. How did he know what I was thinking?

"It's a gift only the Alpha King possesses, little wolf. I can hear every thought that runs through your mind." I tense under his hold. That can't be. Did he - did he hear me yesterday? About his..

"Yes, I heard you." I can hear the smirk on his face and I squirm some more.

"Stop moving your ass like that or I will f**k you." I stop instantly and my heartbeat increases. I don't want that! Or do I? The mate bond pushes me closer to him and my body responds to his touch in ways I hate. Warmth spreads through my body and I feel a pulse between my legs. What is that?

"That's your bodies way of telling you that you like my touch and you want more. I can smell your lust." He plains out. I blush and try to get out of his hold again. This is mortifying. He growl when my ass touches his erection. More heat travels through my body and when he licks my marking spot, I moan out.

"Don't make that sound." He growls in a low voice.

"Why?" I ask in a small voice. Does he not want me? And why hasn't he marked me yet? I heard Alphas are very possessive and they will claim what is theirs right away, yet he hasn't mated or marked me.

"Why haven't you - marked me yet?" I whisper. He sniffs my neck and take a deep breath.

"It's a tradition in my family to wait a month before holding a binding ceremony and we don't mark our mates until that day. I never wanted a mate, little wolf but I'm strong on traditions." His voice is cold and my heart hurts from his harsh words. He didn't want me? Why don't he just reject me then? He spins me around in a flash and I meet red eyes once again.

"Don't ever say that word! I'm not going to reject you, you're mine!" He growls. He pulls me closer and sniff my neck again. He holds me in place and my body is too shocked to do anything. I just let him smell me, feeling his tense body relax a bit.

"You can't reject me, love. You're mine and mine only." He speaks into my neck and reminds me once again that I can't escape this. The hair on my back rises. Jack used to say the same to me. I was his, and no one else could have me.

"You were never his to begin with. He lied to you." My mate stats in a cold voice. I nod but don't say anything. I never believed Jack when he told me I was his mate. There was no sparks, no delicious smell and no attraction towards him. And now I have the sparks, the delicious smell and my body reacts in ways it has never done before and my mate doesn't want me? The Goddess is playing a cruel game.
