The Prince remains holding my wrist besides his car. I stare at him with pleading eyes and he takes a few moments before sighing in defeat.
“What would you like me to do about that, Dollface?” His voice was coated with sugar.
“I came with her so I’d like to leave with her.” I answer, folding my arms as I free myself from his grip. He thought about it for a minute.
“Okay, I’ll let your friend come. Let’s go find her.” He says, pulling me back to the party.
After ten minutes of searching for Muffy, we find her making out with a boy. When we reached her side I let out a cough. They both jump surprisingly and turn to look at us.
The Prince didn’t let go of my hand and looked rather bored, Muffy arches her brows at me as she notices it. I shrug at her as if to say don’t ask.
“Hey, Lex.” She finally says, looking slightly guilty. The boy she was making out with cleared his throat out of awkwardness.
“This is Jordan. Sorry I left you.” She scrambled, looking at the Prince holding my hand. He started to get impatient as he let out a sigh before speaking.
“I don’t mean to be rude but I’m wanting to take your friend back to mine and she wishes you come. I don’t like to be kept waiting so I’d appreciate it if you oblige.” A low growl escapes his throat and Muffy looks nervous.
She turns to Jordan and he nods at her in understanding. She says a quick goodbye to him and reminded him that he has her number before he disappears to the party. She then turns back to us.
The Prince turns around and leads us all back to his car, when we got there he opened the passengers door and ordered Muffy to get in. Once she was in the car he slammed it shut then walked towards me.
He opens the door and slides in, pulling me in with him and slams the door. He nods to the driver in the front view mirror as he slides his hand across my thigh and grips it, I let out a dismayed gasp. The driver starts the engine and begins to drive off as the Prince chuckles at my dismay.
The air was thick with tension, it was almost unbearable. Muffy was shifting in her seat while I was sat frozen in mine. No one in the car spoke. Every now and then Muffy would glance at me, checking to see if I was okay. I could tell that she felt uncomfortable and worried for my sake, it was evident that the Prince had power and authority. It was also evident that he was attracted to me.
He started circling my thigh with his thumb, causing major sparks zapping through my body. I wasn’t used to this feeling, whenever Joel had touched me all I felt was butterflies. But with the Prince I felt more.
I sighed deeply as I looked outside the car window. I felt a hand grabbing my hair, the Prince lifted it away from my neck and nuzzled his nose into it. Trying to process what is happening, I reached out to my inner wolf.
Her tail was wagging and she was feeling shy, she wasn’t rejecting the Prince’s touch. If I ever think about rejecting him her tail flaps aggressively and she growls. She must really like him. Or better yet feel drawn to his beast, even though we haven’t seen him yet.
Which makes me wonder, if Dollie approves the Prince and she’s been trying to hunt for that Lycan we crashed into that night, is the Prince that Lycan? He certainly gives off the same dark aura we felt. My anxiety starts to build up as I think about this and Muffy must have picked up on it as she turned to face me.
“Are you okay, Babe?” She asks me.
“Are we nearly there yet?” I ask without answering her.
She looks at me with concern and I smile half heartedly at her. I grabbed the Prince’s hand and moved it off my thigh as I started to heat up badly and he let it drop but let out a stroppy grunt. I can’t take it being in this car any longer.
“We’ll be at the Manor in five minutes.” The driver says, looking straight forward.
My breathing got quicker and I was feeling slightly dizzy, I rolled down the car window a little to let in air. If I didn’t get out of this car soon I’ll have a panic attack. I could feel the Prince’s eyes on me as I continued to stare out of the window.
He looked at the driver as if to say drive quicker and he did. Muffy was twiddling her fingers and I could feel that her concern for me grew. I remembered that I didn’t have my phone on me and fretted that my parents would be worried when they find I won’t be coming home tonight.
“My parents! They won’t know that I’m okay!” I blurt out, staring at the Prince.
“I’ll see to that.” He responds, not looking at me.
“I can message them for you.” Muffy says, looking at the Prince but directing her speech at me.
“I said I’ll see to it. Don’t worry.” The Prince growls. Both Muffy and I just stare at him in awe while the driver keeps a poker face on.
Finally we arrive at a gate and I looked outside the window. I could tell that the Manor was huge. As we drove towards the Manor, the garden was about ten yards from the entrance to the Manor and it was very green. The grass was well cut; trees and flowers beamed everywhere, it was beautiful.
As we got closer to the Manor there was a luxurious fountain, to what you’d think is a small round about, that was placed right in front of the perch. I noticed there was a motorbike in a parking space, the Prince must have seen me admiring it because he whispered in my ear,
“I’ll take you for a ride on it sometime if you want.” I turn to look at him and he chuckled at my flushed face.
“Welcome to my Manor, I hope you like it.”
“It’s gorgeous!” Both Muffy and I had exclaimed in unison. Everyone in the car laughed, even the driver.
“It’s more like a mansion.” I mutter to myself. More chuckles filled the car.
“Wesley, stay here please, I’ll be back shortly to give out orders.” The Prince ordered the driver as the driver nods back at him.
The rest of us got out of the car and the Prince led us to the door. When we were all inside a blonde figure came rushing towards us. She looks at the three of us with curiosity and her brows begin to arch.
“Ladies, this is my sister, Victoria. Victoria, this is Lexi and, what was your name sorry?” He says, gesturing to Muffy.
“M-Muffy, Sir.” She answers shyly.
“Muffy.” The Prince finishes with a straight face, looking back at Victoria.
“Well, I’m sure it will be a pleasure meeting you, Lexi and Muffy.” She says, looking at her brother in question. He just shrugs at her.
“Take Muffy to a spare room, I’m taking Lexi to mine.” He orders, grabbing my hand and pulling me away without hesitation.
“Sure.” She calls back to him.
When we were in the Prince’s room, he sat me down on his bed.
“I’m going to go back to the car and order Wesley to go to your parents house and tell them I’ve taken you back to my Manor. He will explain that I am a Lycan and a Prince. They’ll have no choice but to accept that I’ve chosen to claim you as mine. I need to know that you’re not going to try and escape in my absence.” He blabbers on, widening his look on me as his last sentence is being spoken. I look down at my fingers for a few moments, twiddling my thumbs. Then I look back at him as I sigh.
“I’ll be here when you come back.” I speak with conviction, letting him know that I’ll obey. Also giving him the address to my parents home. He smiles wickedly as he bends down to give me a kiss on the cheek.
“Good girl.” He stands back up and walks towards the door.
“I’ll be back in two minutes.” He says before disappearing.
In the absence of the Prince, I sit here trying to make of what is happening. I gather my thoughts and work through my feelings. I reach out to Dollie and ask her what’s going on. She doesn’t respond but she’s there wagging her tail.
I look around the room that I’m in: it’s very big, the bed is kingsized and it’s bedding is velvet in the colour of royal blue. I bounce on it lightly and it feels very comfy. I stand up and walk towards the closet. I open its doors and see that it’s walk-in, full of men’s clothes. I inhale and get a whiff of his scent, it smells familiar.
At this point Dollie is jumping of joy. I feel his clothes as I close my eyes, trying to get a feel of him. Feeling embarrassed that I’m in the Prince’s walk-in closet, smelling and feeling his clothes, I walked back out and closed the doors. I walked towards his dressing table and looked at myself in the mirror, my face was highly flushed.
I glanced down at a picture frame that was sitting on the dressing table, I go to pick it up to get a better look. There was a beautiful woman in the picture, she had long hair and a petite face. She was wearing a light-green floral dress and she was smiling.
Just as I run my fingers across the picture frame smiling and admiring the kindness in her expression, a voice behind me startles me and I end up dropping the picture frame onto the dressing table creating a bang.
“Beautiful, isn’t she?” The voice asked me with light humour in it. I turned around to see the Prince’s smile gleaming at me.
“Y-yes, your highness.” I manage to stutter. He laughed at me, shaking his head. He then went a bit shy and ran his hand though his sexy, ruffled hair.
“Please, call me Theo.” He insists, snaking his arm around me while burying his face into my neck.
He lets out a satisfied rumble and my heart melts at his embrace. I couldn’t help but think about kissing his luscious lips.
Get a grip, Lexi, he’s a stranger to you.
“So, Theo, who’s the woman in the photo I was just admiring?” I nonchalantly ask.
He looks up at me and his face was very close to mine. He moved his arm and grabbed my waist while cupping my chin with his other hand. His smile widened as I flushed at his touch.
“Why? Are you jealous?” He says playfully.
“No. Why would I be jealous?” I ask back, flirting a little as I smile.
This seem to encourage him because he moves even closer to me, my breathing became heavy at his closeness.
“The woman in the photo is my mother.” He whispers into my mouth, his mouth was close enough to kiss me but he held them at bay.
Arousal started to hit me as his mouth gained closer to mine, his grip on my chin tightened as his other hand made its way down to my thigh and I was gasping for air. I could feel liquid in between my legs and my face brightened even more.
He inhaled and smelled my arousal which caused something to grow that was already digging into my bare leg.
“Little Foxy, I can smell your arousal.” He murmurs into my mouth. With a deep breath I silently begged for mercy.
“Please.”
“Please what?”
“This is too much, I need fresh air. I mean I don’t even know you and… you… my head is spinning. Please let me go.” I plead with him.
He steps back to give me some space and went quiet for a while. His breathing was ragged and he looked like he was battling an inner demon. Which would be his beast.
He takes a deep breath before gently moving me aside to open a draw behind me. He pulled out a mobile phone that looked exactly like mine. When it dawned on me that it was my phone and that he also had my jeans, I had clasped my hands to my face in alarm.
“Oh my, God, you’re… you’re the Lycan I smashed into a few days ago.” I shouted without meaning to.
I retreated by instantly baring my neck, trying not to show disrespect to Theo.
“You have no idea how badly I couldn’t stop thinking about you ever since I laid eyes on you.” He confessed, giving me my items while pulling me to his bed and sitting me in his lap.
“I tried to find you after you ran away, I found these instead.” He gestured to my phone and jeans.
“My mum told me that she couldn’t find them as she went looking for my clothes.” I said looking at his chest.
“You was a naughty little wolf running away from me.” He says, smirking at me.
“You irritated me with your c*cky grunt.” I shrugged at him and he laughed. It was silent for a few moments until Theo spoke.
“Your parents raised you well.”
“What do you mean?” I ask him, arching my brows together.
“Well, you let me take you without a fight.” He gently nibbles on my cheek, sending intense tingles down my body.
“I didn’t have a choice, you’re a Prince, I could hardly say no. Plus I didn’t want to infuriate you. I feel power radiating off you and I’m an anxious person, you would have taken me either way.” I blurt out, Theo’s eye contact is strong as he listens to me talk.
“Well one thing for sure is I would have taken you regardless, I let you get away once I won’t be doing it again.” He says as his smirk creeps back up on his face, tightening his grip on me.
“It’s evident to me that you want to refuse me, I can see that you want to resist me but yet here you are, succumbing me. My guess is that your little inner wolf is the reason for your instant obedience.” At this point, Theo’s smile is so wide that he could eat a f*****g car.
“Soon, you will see our meeting is an inevitable calling.”
“Is that what you believe?” I ask him, sounding a bit obnoxious. He smirks at my attitude.
“I do, yes. You were mine the moment our beasts collided in the woods.”
“Let me ask you something, how does she react to us?” Meaning Theo and his beast. I don’t answer him, I just look at the ground.
“Answer me, Doll.” He demands and I burst out laughing.
“What’s funny?” His tone gets a little cold.
“It’s just that, I named my wolf Dollie and call her Doll for short sometimes.” I admit, flushing a little. He blinks before laughing at me.
“You named your wolf?” He mocks me.
“Of course I did! What, you didn’t name yours?” I proudly admit, he takes a few moments smiling at me before responding.
“To be honest with you, I did. He’s called Ripper.” His smile widens as my gob opens in awe. He nuzzles his nose into my neck as if he’s shy.
“I think it’s cute that you named your wolf Dollie.” He admits, looking back up at me.
“I’m assuming you named your wolf Ripper because he rips people apart.” I choke out, Theo laughs at me.
“He’s ferocious that’s for sure, he’s also very dominating like myself but he’d never kill an innocent. He has a bad temper and comes out when he wants to he’s not a monster.” He looks directly into my eyes with his intensity, making sure that he knows that I know I’m safe with him.
“So how about that question I asked you regarding how Dollie reacts to us.” He presses, lifting me off his lap and places me next to him. I sigh before answering.
“Honestly, when I was with Joel she barely came out. But after I bumped into you in the woods she wanted to come out more. She even tried hunting down your beast. So when you came up behind me at the wolf party her tail was wagging and she was panting hard. I’m in shock that we bumped into each other again.” I confess, feeling Theo’s eyes burn my skin.
“Like I said, inevitable calling.” He says before smashing his mouth into mine.
I squealed with shock and he giggled into my mouth. My head tilted back a bit with the shock and Theo gripped the back of my head so our mouths were locked together. He lifted my dress up a little and squeezed my thigh.
Electricity was zapping across my entire body and I let out a aroused moan which only caused Theo to groan as he bit my lip. To my surprise, I didn’t flinch. If anything it made me feel more aroused.
After a few moments of us kissing, Theo pulled back and rubbed his thumb against my bottom lip.
“My, you’re insatiable.” He mumbles, both our breathing were heavy and both of our faces were flushed.
“Theo?” I whisper as I close my eyes.
“Hmm?” He responds, resting his forehead against mine.
“Don’t you think we’ve done enough tonight?” I ask shyly. He inhales a deep breath before answering.
“If you feel it’s been too much then I’ll respect your boundaries, we can pick this up tomorrow as I’m getting tired anyway.” He rubs his eyes as he stands up. He walks towards his walk-in closet and picks out a over sized shirt. He walks back towards me and gives me the shirt.
“You can sleep in this, I expect you to sleep in my bed with me.” He says with a hard stare.
“And do you expect me to dress in front of you?” I retort back, raising my brow with a hidden grin.
“Yes, I do. There’s no point in hiding that sexy body of yours when you’re wearing that dress. You’re practically already naked.” He says, c*cking his head to admire my body with a malicious grin on his face.
I roll my eyes at him and he crosses his arms, still smiling but his eyes were serious. I stand up with a sigh and replace my dress with his oversized shirt. Theo watches me as I undress, making me feel highly embarrassed.
“Don’t feel embarrassed, my little vixen, I love what I’m seeing.” He coaxes me, his smile widens again.
“You don’t ever stop smiling, do you?” I observe, he laughs at me.
“Since meeting you, never.” His grin continues to grow, I chuckle a little.
“Get into bed, Sunshine, and I’ll get ready for bed myself.” He orders.
I do as I’m told and I get into bed. I moan with pleasure at the comfort of the bed, Theo chuckles at me as he undresses. I couldn’t help but watch him: his was shirtless and had the most toned torso and v line I have ever seen, his arms were bulky and he was covered in the most beautiful tattoos.
He then took his shoes off, followed by his socks, then followed by his ripped jeans and was left standing there in just his boxers which was white. Feeling my eyes on him, he smirks at me.
“Like what you see, Biscuit?” He teases me before turning towards me.
“Maybe.” I tease back, smiling coyly.
He walks towards my side of the bed and gets in. I shuffle to the left and he wraps his arm around me.
“Sorry, Dimples, you was laying on my side of the bed.” He whispers as I look at him.
He yawns and closes his eyes as he pulls me onto his chest. A low rumble escapes from his throat as a sign of contentment when I nestled into his chest. Feeling comfortable in his embrace, my eyes close and I relax.
“Goodnight, my little snowflake.” He says.
“Goodnight, Theo.” I whisper, not feeling comfortable enough with giving him a cute nickname. Not long after, I fell asleep.
******
The next morning when I woke up I was trapped in a strong embrace by Theo. Not knowing what would be waiting for me the next day, I fell asleep in the arms of a Lycan! Peace filled the room as light peeked through the massive long curtains. I inhaled before letting out air which stirred Theo in his sleep.
“Morning, Cupckake.” He mumbles through my hair, his boner behind my a*se came to life when he awoke.
“Morning.” I mutter as he kisses my neck softly, making me shut my eyes as I giggle.
“That tickles.” He chuckles as his boner gets bigger. After a few minutes of us laying in silence a knock raps on the door.
“What?” Theo growls as he shifts in the bed.
“Bo wants to know what you and your lady friend would like to have for breakfast.” Victoria announces behind the door.
Theo lets out a annoyed sigh before getting up. He walks towards the door and opens it enough for his sister to not see his predicament.
“Tell her we’ll be down in five minutes.” He orders her and she nods back at him before he slams the door in her face.
“Jeez, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.” She giggles through the door.
“Actually, I woke up on the perfect side of the bed this morning.” He throws back, grinning at me.
“Now, what are we going to do about your clothes situation?” He asks in thought as he walks towards me, a smile creeps up as he comes to a stop at the end of the bed.
“As much as I’d more than love to see you naked all the time, men would be fighting over you and as much as they don’t stand a chance against me I won’t be happy about that.” His smile darkens and his eyes flicker as he talks about other men fighting for me.
“I doubt men would be fighting over me.” I mutter to him as I look down at my fingers.
He crawls onto the bed and covers my figure with his massive body. He tilts my head so I look at him in the eyes with a serious look on his face.
“From my understanding, you was mates with another wolf. Which meant other wolves had to back off, regardless if he marked you or not. Other male wolves know that if they try to mark you or mate with you while you’re already mates with one, they would have to fight your mate. But now you’re no longer mates with this Joel, any wolf can try to claim you. You might not see it but you are f******g exquisite.” He takes a deep breath before continuing his speech.
“You better listen to me, little Foxy, things are going to get heated up now that I’m claiming you as mine. I’ll warn you, I’ve been patient with you because I don’t want to make your overwhelming worse, but if you test my patience I’ll get very angry.”
He babbles on with a very serious look on his face, his eyes went from cloudy-grey to a very luminous glowingly silver-grey; his and his beast’s lust for me grows as he continues to look at my petite, curvy figure.
“Do you understand?” He asks, not breaking eye contact with me while continuing to cup my chin.
“Y-yes, Theo.”
My voice slightly breaks as I answer him, a tear wells up and rolls down my cheek. He rubs the tear dry before it reaches down to my neck and then gave me a short kiss on the lips.
“Please don’t cry, Biscuit, you should never have to be scared of me. Yes, I have a temper and expect to be obeyed but I will never hurt you.” He assures as he plays with my hair.
“There are all sorts of kind of hurt.” I whisper into face.
He doesn’t respond with words but with a kiss before removing himself off me and jumping off the bed. He walks towards his walk-in closet and picks out clothes.
“Since I have no clothes for you, you’ll have to wear what you had worn last night. I’ll have Victoria take you back to your parents house so you can speak to them and pack some of your clothes.” He says with his back to me as he dresses himself.
“I expect her to return with you.” He states, closing the closet doors as he walks towards me.
He stands in front of the bed, ogling me. He looks slightly irritated as he pinches the bridge of his nose.
“Why aren’t you getting dressed, Snowflake?” He asks me, folding his arms together.
“Your bed is too comfy.”
I shrug at him as I lift the covers up and replace his oversized shirt with my red dress. He lets out a chuckle as he watches me and when I’ve got my dress on he walks over to me; he intertwines his hand with mine and leads me out of the bedroom.
We reached the kitchen and Muffy was sat at a very luxurious countertop, Victoria was stood opposite her looking down; a figure was sat at the end of the countertop with a magazine in his hand while a short woman stood at the cooker, waiting for me and Theo to appear with a inpatient look on her face.
“It’s about bloody time you came down.” She snaps at Theo, frowning.
“I was having an important moment with the lady.” He growls, violently sitting me down next to Muffy.
We all looked at him at his motion while I hiss at his force. He looked at everyone before looking at me and realised he used force without meaning to.
“We’ll have a sausage and egg bagel with some fruit pieces for breakfast.” He adds as he sits down next to me before burying himself into my neck.
“Sorry, Muffin.” He soothes into me as he strokes my leg.
“Morning, Babe.” I say to Muffy without responding to Theo. A smile lights up on her face as she looks at me.
“Morning, Beauty, are you okay?” She asks me, giving me a little squeeze.
“I’m more worried about you than myself.” I reply, feeling slightly concerned.
“I’m in an unexpected predicament but I’m okay.” She assures me, giving me a little smile.
“So… are you going to properly introduce your new lady.” The man holding the magazine perks up, slowly bringing it down showing his smirk. An annoyed growl escaped to my left and Victoria let out a little chuckle.
“Her name is Lexi.” He grunts, gripping my leg tighter.
“Lexi, the man over there smirking is mine and Victoria’s’ cousin, Cane.
“Howdy.” Cane waves at me before eating a slice of toast.
“It’s nice to meet you, Cane.”
I flash a smile at him and Theo glares at me as I turn to look at him. My smile fades and I frown at him with a hint of sass. His glare at me turned dark as if he wanted to choke me while Cane and Victoria lets out a short laugh. I could feel an awkward aura come from Muffy as she shifts in her seat before a cough erupts besides the cooker.
“Ah, I almost forgot. This is Bo, our housemaid.” Theo smirks a little as Bo turns around to pretend to be insulted.
Everyone had a little chit chatter before Theo turns to Victoria.
“Now that we’re all acquainted, my little snowflake needs to visit her parents home; grab some things together, I expect you to bring her back. You understand what I’m saying?” Victoria nods and obliges to his demand.
