Nia: Betrothed Luna

Chapter 7: I Want You Sober

“Am I dead?” I ask as I rise from the ground.

“No,” Selene vibrantly said as she motions for me to come to her.

“What’s happening to me?” I ask a little nervous about hearing her response.

“You’re shifting for the first time and I wanted to congratulate you personally on finding your mate” she briefly pauses before continuing, “Marcellus is a difficult man and his wolf Bane has a mind of his own, they need you Nia.”

“I will try but he already seems very demanding and inconsiderate, how can I tame such a beast?” I shyly ask.

“I wouldn’t have chosen you if I didn’t believe that you were capable of doing it. Now shift, you have an incredible journey ahead of you.”

As I tried to open my eyes my mind was subject to incredible pain. My body felt as though a million needles were being injected into it at once, slowly drawing blood and draining me. “Let me in” I faintly hear. My mind must be playing tricks on me because the faint voice begins to sound like a demand as I squeeze my eyes tighter.

“Nia, you must let me in……let me take over……it’s me Alessia”

“Alessia, are you the wolf Selene introduced me to the first time we met? Are you my wolf?” I ask.

“Yes, now let me take control. You will still be able to see what I see and feel what I do but you would be shotgun instead of pilot. Okay?”

I slowly let Alessia take charge as I begin to focus on my sense of touch. I can still feel two a set of strong arms around me; leaving a nice heat wherever it touched. I open my eyes as I hear a beautiful howl.

Alessia looks around as the individuals before her stare at her in awe. She is three times the size of a normal wolf and her color is unique. No one has seen an aurum wolf since the Moon Goddess blessed them with one centuries ago; now all they had were stories. We look around at the faces and find the only one who does not look surprised, Marcel. He has a huge smile on his face as he moves forward and rubs his hands across my fur.

Alessia moves towards him and places her head on his lap. Can you believe my wolf! “Alessia, I do not like him!” I protest.

“The Moon Goddess has blessed each of us a mind of our own, just because you do not like him does not mean that I do. I cannot wait to meet his wolf.”

My mother then tells us it is time to shift back, we will go on a hunt on the next hunt day. I struggle at first but slowly shift back. It is then that I realize that I am still in Marcel’s arms.

“Let us go,” I snap at him. “How dare you take my first kiss, I do not wish to speak with you at this mom-ent, aahhh!”

I shriek as he picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. “I have already told you that your behavior will not be tolerated. I did not allow my future wife to grow with her parents so that all she can do is throw fits.”

I remain silent because I just realized that I had been acting like a child instead of the strong independent woman I was raised to be. “Where are you taking me?” I whisper.

He does not reply as he continues to walk out of my family home towards a beautiful guest house that I had never noticed before. Once inside he sets me down and swiftly unzips my dress.

“Marcel…...I I have never been with anyone……I-I’m not ready to” I blush as I look towards the ground not ready for what he had in his mind at this moment in time. “Please, I am just not ready to give my body to you completely today.”

“Nia please look up” he says while handing me a pair of undergarments, a fitted t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. “Change into this and come out when you’re ready okay?”

I nod and I can’t help but feel embarrassed. I told my mind to throw those negative thoughts away as I quickly changed. Moon Goddess please be with me, I think before I step out. Before I can sit beside him, he grabs me and places me rear up on his lap. I scream as he delivers eight swift blows to my bottom. Once he was done, he sat me up beside him.

“That was for slapping me the other day as well as your behavior today. I will not tolerate it Nia, is that understood?” he stares at me for a while.

“No, you will not be able to hit me even though you may view it as discipline in this forced relationship we are equals Marcel. You will not touch me any way you want or treat me any way you want is that understood?” I was hoping he could not hear the hint of fear in my tone. Besides the slap I had received on my birthday I was never hit as a child and I do not think I could get used to it any time soon.

“No, I already love and adore you but that is a must and I am sorry I cannot be lenient when it comes to that matter. I have something for you.”

He reaches behind him and grabs a folder and hands it to me. I sort through them and see that they are his screening panels from when he got tested.

“I have been abstinent for an entire year and I am providing you with the results so that you can know I take my marriage to you seriously,” he says as he pulls me into his embrace.

“Looking at these it seems like you have a lot more experience than me. How about you let me be free for a year? I can have fun, date and enjoy life and in twelve months’ time I will come and marry you without hesitation?”

Before I can say another word, he slaps me, “you dare disrespect me to my face Nia?” he says through gritted teeth. “You are mine and will only be mine, your essential items are being packed as we speak, we will leave after breakfast tomorrow…. now rest.”

“Marcel, I’m not tired you forced me to leave my own ball the least you can do is keep me company.” I stare at him and can tell he is talking to his wolf. “Marcellus……Bane please?”

“Who told you my wolf's name?” he asks amused.

“No one, I had a feeling it was Bane. So, what do you say?”

“Fine,” he says as he pulls me towards him and brings me into a passionate kiss.

Knowing that I will be unable to get out of his grasp I gradually kiss him back as the radiant sparks take over my body once again. Although I am not fond of him, his touch emits a heat that radiates to my core. After a while he lifts me up and walks towards the bed.

“Marcel I uh I’m not ready for that.” I say as he pulls the sheets and gently places me on it.

“I want you to close your eyes. I know a man has never touched you so I will be patient and wait a while before I try and convince you that it is okay to be intimate with your mate. However, I plan on showing you a glimpse of what you are missing tonight. If at any point in time you want me to stop say Alpha okay?”

I nod as he hands me a blindfold. I nervously place it over my eyes and yelp as he removes my sweatpants and undergarment. My body begins to tremble before he touches me due to my nervousness.

“Marcel, may I have a drink?”

“No, I want you to be sober for this,” he says as he begins to trail kisses down my neck.

My mind starts going 105 miles a second. What is he planning on doing? Should I stop him? I went to ask a question, but he kissed me before I could say a word. After a while he began trailing kisses down my body. His hand slipped under my shirt as he slowly pulled it over my head. I gasped as he nibbled on my left ni***e while his right hand kneaded my left breast.

Once I started squirming, he continued to trail kisses down my abdomen, and I couldn’t help but giggle. His kiss as well as the warm sensation that his touch causes when it interacts with my skin was enough to send me into a giggle overload. I instantly froze when I felt him spread my legs apart.

“If you want me to stop at any moment remember the safe word we talked about earlier okay?”

I simply nodded out of fear. No one has ever been this close to me before my body began to tremble once again and I was completely shocked when his lips made contact with mine. The sensation was sensual at first, but I could tell that this man had a little too much experience.

I gasped as his tongue continued to send shockwaves to my soul each time, he would hit a sensitive spot. I naturally tried to inch my way upward, but he instinctively wrapped his arms around my thighs pinning me down beneath his heavenly touch.

“M-m-marcel!” I shriek as my back begins to arch. I don’t know what has taken over my mind, but I did not want this to stop.

He loosens his grip on my thighs and starts kneading my breast as he continues to suck the life out of me. My body begins to tremble once again as I feel like my mind, body and soul has reached its peak. He kisses me once again before he raises himself off of the bed.

I can hear the water running in the restroom and after several minutes he returns. I take the blindfold off and bite my bottom lip as I watch him make his way towards me with a washcloth. He slowly cleans my body off while I cast my gaze towards the ground.

“I have started a shower for you my love. Go clean yourself off and I will use the other bathroom. Take your time……I’ll be in here waiting for you once you’re done. Okay?”

I nod my head in silence as he walks out of the room. My mind is all over the place as I slowly step into the shower. That was the most intimate experience I’ve ever had, and I would be lying to myself if I didn’t say it was amazing; that was honestly an understatement.
