DIANA
“Your parents have been kidnapped by rogues. Your parents secretly followed you when you drove off this morning. When an important visitor came in, Mr. Wayne called them to inform them but the rogue leader picked up the call instead,” Mrs. Beck, our head maid, said in a rush, and the seriousness and worry I heard in her voice made me realize that she was being honest.
My heart began to race faster than usual in fear that my parents may be killed and my heart began to ache at the thought. Then everything went pitch black.
The next time I opened my eyes, I was lying on Axel’s bed and he sat beside me, holding my hands and caressing the back of my palm with his thumb.
“You’re awake thank the goddess,” He let out a breath of relief but I jerked up into a sitting position immediately.
“My parents. have they been found?” I asked in a rush.
I blamed myself for their kidnap. If only I didn't leave the house, they wouldn't have followed me.
They would have been safe. This made me realize why my love with Axel was forbidden.
Maybe Axel and I being mates might have been a mistake by the moon goddess and that was why nothing was working well for us.
Maybe that's why our parents were so against us. Maybe our love would keep putting those we care about in danger.
“We haven't gotten them back yet,” Axel answered with a sorry look on his face and I burst into a fit of tears.
“But,” He said when I began wailing and crying, and then I paused hoping that it was good news.
“Remember that guy from earlier which you said you normally see at the restaurant?” He asked and I nodded my head.
“The rogue leader asked us to release him to them if we wanted your parents back. And luckily my Dad's beta hasn't killed him yet. So yeah, we have a high chance of getting your parents back. I promise. So please don't cry, ” He said as he began weeping the tears from my eyes.
“When would they release them?” I asked just to be sure so that my mind could be at ease.
“My Dad already left for the location an hour ago with the rogue. I would have gone with him but I couldn't, not with the state you were in. So they’ll be here any moment from now,” He answered.
I hugged him and began to sob while he rubbed my back gently and whispered sweet nothings into my ear.
His scent was so calming and soothing that I calmed down after a few minutes. I pulled away from him afterward and we made eye contact.
His grey eyes drew me in while his hair danced as the breeze from the open window touched it.
I didn't know when my hand reached for his face and touched his well-chiseled jawline and then traveled to his lips.
His lips were perfectly shaped and soft. My breath hitched when my fingers caressed it.
What was I doing? This wasn't the time for me to be all s****l. Not while my parents were in the hands of an enemy.
But I couldn't stop myself. My body wanted him. I wanted him. All of him. I had been waiting to do this since I was sixteen.
My heart began to race in anticipation of having my first kiss. As though I knew I would be mated to him, I had kept myself for him.
I wanted him to be the only one doing unholy things to my body. I wanted him to be the one to spoil me sexually.
I began leaning closer to him and so did he. This was my first time and what was giving me this kind of boldness, I couldn't fathom.
Our faces were just inches apart. My body shuddered with anticipation and my heartbeat spiked up.
Just when our lips were about to meet, Axel's door opened, making us pull away and look in the direction.
“s**t! I'm sorry,” The guy apologized and facepalmed.
“What is it, Aaron?” Axel snapped in annoyance.
“Your Dad has returned with her parents. They just came in now,” The guy informed us, making the s****l mood die down instantly as I literally flew down from the bed and rushed to see them.
“Mom, Dad,” I ran and hugged them when I saw them come into the house.
I thanked the moon goddess for bringing them back home safely.
“See why we told you that nothing good can come out from this family?” My mom said after I pulled away from our hug.
“But they helped bring you back,” I tried to make them understand.
“From a situation they put us in, in the first place,” My Dad spat coldly.
“Uh… Mark you better speak about my family with respect or else….” Axel’s Dad wanted to continue but was rudely interrupted by my Dad.
“Or Else what Jacoby?” My Dad snapped.
“Enough!!!!” Axel growled, making everyone shut up and the whole room became pin-drop silent.
“Any issues you guys have with yourselves sort that out and leave me and my mate out of it because we aren't leaving each other,” Axel said with finality and I nodded in agreement.
We watched as our parent’s faces scrunched up in anger and disapproval.
“It's either him or us, Dee. You have to choose and you have to choose now,” My Dad said with a menacing look.
“Same goes for us, Axel. You can be sworn in today as the Alpha if you make the right choice now,” His Dad said softly.
Axel didn't even think twice, he held my hands and with his chin up, he chose me making his mom gasp.
It warmed my heart that he chose me despite what he could gain if he didn't.
“I’m sorry, Mom, Dad. I choose Axel,” I said thinking that they were family and we could easily reconcile.
“Then I hereby disown you as my daughter because no daughter of mine would do what I forbid her from doing. I never want to see you again,” My Dad thundered and left the room instantly.
My mom on the other hand began sobbing and had a disappointed look on her face as she looked at me before she followed my Dad.
It hurt me to see them leave and to know that my Dad disowned me, why? Because I refused to reject my true mate.
“I pity you son because you don't know what you've gotten yourself into. At least we tried to protect you from making this choice. Whatever happens to you henceforth don't come to us for help,” Axel’s Dad said, casting a pitiful look at their son making me frown and my brows crease and so did Axel’s.
What did Axel’s Dad mean? I sensed a lot of mystery and wittiness behind his words which made my frown deepen.
Was there something more to them not wanting us not to be mates other than their not getting along with my parents?
“What do you mean what I have gotten myself into?” Axel asked the same question I was about to ask and we eagerly waited for their answer.
