Zane - Confessions of a lycan

Chapter 9

Zane

What kind of sick bastard gets turned on by someting as revolting as this?

Seeing that girl standing out there, chained to the pole with silver, was worse than I ever imagined.

The bids were already starting to pour in. The panel to the left of me talked about the bid amounts that were placed and by what amount they raised. They started at 10 grand. Someone raised it to 12. When the poor girl looked ready to collapse, the bidding stopped at 15,000 USD dollars. A guard entered and led the girl out, who was barely standing on her feet. My heart bled for her.

We have to work faster, add more resources to put an end to this. This cannot be allowed to continue.

I felt myself starting to lose my temper and my Lycan wolf wanting to surface. To take out his anger on everyone in this godforsaken place. Just as I began to regain control, the door to the oval room opened.

In came the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. With shiny chestnut-colored hair and cream-colored porcelain skin.

Her perfect pear-shaped body was wrapt in a light blue dress that ended mid-thigh, and it fitted like a second skin.

At that exact moment, she turned her face towards me. I forgot to breathe as her pale blue eyes stared in my direction. It felt like her gaze continued right through my very soul.

My Lycan screamed MATE in my head. But that couldn't be right, it was impossible!

Second chances were almost non-existing. I had never even heard of a Lycan wolf being given one.

We even had a hard time finding one, much less two in a lifetime. Werewolves often find their soulmates given by the goddess, but Lycans weren´t so lucky. Some claim that it was due to the Lycans' disrespect towards the bond and their habit of taking a chosen mate because of power and wealth. Maybe that was true, I didn't know to be honest.

My heart was beating so hard it felt like it was going to pound out of my chest. Fu*k!! The damn glass wall meant I could't smell her or feel if there were any sparks. I ran my hand through my hair, frustrated. What the fu*k should I do?

My Lycan screamed Mate, mate, mate, like some fu*king chant in my head, making it hard to think.

Just then, the panel started talking and bids started to flow in. Fu*king hell, I have to buy her…

The bids rose quickly and pretty soon we were up to almost 500,000 USD dollars.

Some fu*ker just wouldn't give up. I was livid. My Lycan paced around in the back of my mind, snarling.

Out of everyone in my family, I had the most ferocious wolf. Even though I was the youngest, I've always been the physically strongest, but that's also made me the most impulsive one. My Lycan wasn´t easy to handle, and it had taken me decades of training to succeed, but now I felt my control slipping away.

When the bid increased by another 10 grand, I lost it. My Lycan wolf surfaced and we ran out the door and down the corridor to the red door which we would knock on 3 times if we won a bid. Fu*k knocking!!

I kicked the door in so hard that splinters flew and the door slammed into the wall with a loud thud.

Some fu*king grey suit monkey started yelling about what the hell I was doing but I took him straight into a head lock.

Holding him down, while he struggled for air. This fuc*er didn't even know what hit him.

I saw that several guards were about to attack. I roared and let my whole aura fill the room.

"My name is Prince Zane. Third in line to the throne and that is my mate standing in that room about to be sold. If you do not immediately lower the curtains and bring her to me, I will make sure that all of you get a place in hell after enduring the worst kind of torture you can possibly imagine.” Everyone stared at me blankly. "NOW!!"" I roared with all my might.

"Do as he says, this instant" Ohh, so the suite monkey was the one in charge here? I let go of his neck and took a step back, still seething, but a little more in control.

"I am so terribly sorry for this, your highness. Please tell me what I can do to make it up to you." I gave him an annihilating glare, panting with rage. "Just give me my Mate!" Just then the door opened and the most intoxicating smell filled my lungs.

Like wildflowers in the forest and freshly cut grass when it rained.

I rushed forward and ripped her out of the grip of the da*n vampire who was holding her arm.

Pulling her into my arms and putting my nose in her hair right away. I felt the sparks fly all over my body.

But I also felt something else. Her whole body smelled strongly of decay. Some as*hole vampire had touched her! Someone was going to die... Unable to control my Lycan, he let out a low growl. Which made my mate go completely still. I could feel her fear and instantly I regretted it.

” What the he*l is going on?” Lucien bellowed as he came flying through the broken door.

Before I could answer him, the ruffled-up suit monkey butted in. "I'm terribly sorry my lord, but there has been a terrible mistake"

I had no patience for him. I just wanted to take my wildflower and get out of there asap.

"We need to get out of here. Now." Lucien looked at me and then down at the terrified girl in my arms who seemed to be trying to hide as far into my leather jacket as she could. I slowly massaged her hair to calm her down despite my harsh tone of voice when I spoke. " She´s your mate". Lucien stated. I just nodded at my best friend, there would be time for small talk later.

Sh*t, for a few minutes I forgot why we were here to begin with. I looked at Lucien, feeling a little panicked and hoped he could save this sh*tshow. "How much will he owe you, sir? For the girl?" The suit monkey looked between us, unsure.

"Absolutely nothing, I'd rather we finish as friends and put this behind us." By that, he meant that he didn't want me to come back and tear their heads off when I got my mate to safety.

I didn't have time for this sh*t. I wanted my girl out of this hellhole. Goddess, I could hardly imagine what she had been through.

"Transfer the last bid I made. See it as a thank you for letting me take her with me without much of a skirmish. Lucien, could you please handle this for me? I want to take her out of here." Lucien just gave me one of his arrogant nods as I swept up my wildflower into my arms and a guard showed us to the exit.

When I tried to put her down to open the car door, she refused to let go. Instead she wrapped her legs around my waist and clung to me like a baby koala. That was when I felt the tears that wet my neck and shirt. I slowly patted her hair.

"Honey, it's alright. No one will ever hurt you again." But she only tightend her grip at my words.

I couldn't resist closing my own arms tighter around her and burying my face in her hair.

"Sweetheart, we can't stay here. It's a dangerous place. We have to get you to safety." She just nodded against my neck and lowered her legs slowly. I tried to keep her away from me. Because I didn't want her to feel the evidence of what holding her gorgeous body did to me. So inappropriate. But fu*k, no woman had made me hard in over 87 years. Sure, I rubbed one out in the shower now and then, but no woman interested me anymore. Not until now.

I carefully helped her into the car and closed the door before I rushed around it and straightened my pants on the way.

We couldn't get out of here fast enough. I didn't want her anywhere near this place.

When I got into the car, she looked at me straight on.

Her red-streaked eyes made me feel things I thought had been dead in me for a long time. But at that moment I could feel it beat within me with renewed force.

Now that I had a chance to look closer, I could see that there were some freckles dusting her nose and her cherry red lips were plump and made for kissing. I couldn't wait for those lush lips to close around my co*k. For fu*k sake I needed to stop this thinking right fu*king now. I was 10 steps ahead of this. The poor girl was scared and confused. I needed to put all dirty thoughts on ice for the time being at least. Goddess, this would be my biggest challenge in this lifetime.

As I steered the car out of the parking garage, I saw her fiddling with the skirt of her dress.

Sh*t, she must be seriously confused. I just bought her at an auction. I didn't even want to know what thoughts were spinning in her pretty head at the moment. But she hadn't rejected me, and I knew she wanted me close as much as I wanted her. I was sure of that.

I simply had to prove to her that I wasn't who she made me out to be. It was the only way, because I refused to let her go.

"What is your name my wildflower?" She gave me a shy smile and quickly looked down.

I could see a slight blush covering her cheeks. Fu*king adorable.

"My name is Lily." Of course that was her name. I smiled a genuine smile. When was the last time I did that?

"I´m Zane, little Wildflower". I looked at her and the blush rose. Goddess, it was going to be absolutely fantastic to explore all of her innocence and mix it with my own dark desires. I could barely wait...
