The Prince's Mistress

8

"This is your room Isilee" Jasper tells me, opening the door for me to enter first into the decadent room of white and gold with hints of navy blue as decor "Over there is your closet and that door is the bathroom" he points to each door before opening the closet.

"Everything has already been unpacked so all you need to do is get settled in tonight" he says "Okay thank you" I say quietly, all of today having made me unsure if I made the right decision - I hadn't seen Thaddeus since this morning and I had been with the others but none of them spoke to me. Aurelia and Jasper both tried to speak to me but their eyes quickly glassed over with a mind link and then they'd stop talking to me - meaning I hadn't really spoken to anyone par Calliope who continually questioned me about Magnus.

"How was your first day at the royal castle?" Jasper asks me smiling, he is always so happy.

"Good"

"I doubt that, I apologise for not speaking to you - Dominic was up my ass every time I spoke to you, he'd command me to stop"

"That's okay, don't apologise it's understandable that Dominic doesn't like me I'm the mistress who's hurting his friend."

"Who? Calliope?"

"Yes"

He laughs at my response "He hates that b***h. She's just a desperate female wanting Thaddeus' title and money - power hungry and materialistic."

"She was very nice"

"She was very fake Isilee, do not fall for it."

"Is Thaddeus aware of her only wanting him for his money?" I question as I'm concerned for him for some stupid reason I don't want his other female to harm him

"He knows her type, those are how all females are to him that is why he barely pays attention to her but she loved both him and his money"

"Doesn't he kiss her? He always has to touch me in some way when we are together"

"I've noticed, we were all shocked when we first saw you two together for he has never been so affectionate towards any of his previous female companions. With Calliope he hardly notices her"

"Oh"

He clears his throat "I should be going. I'll see you tomorrow hopefully. Have a good night Isilee" he says returning to the door and leaving with a smile after I say goodbye.

Once the door closes again I look out to the darkened sky from my window, even the window is so grand and luxurious which makes me feel even more out of place. I nervously wring my hands as I think over the day.

Thaddeus brought me here so we could be together, spend time together yet I haven't seen him since we arrived as he was whisked away for work. Without him beside me I feel unprotected from the judgmental stares from his guards and friends who know the truth behind me being here. But even from the maids and lycans part of the royal court who were walking around the castle I feel their stares as if they're looking down at me as I'm a werewolf who doesn't belong in the royal lycan's presence or home.

But perhaps their stares are only ones of curiosity? Wondering why a werewolf is here - yes that's probably why I am simply overthinking things.

Calliope was curious about my relationship with Alpha Magnus and what happened so that is most likely what everyone else is wondering about.

I decide a shower will help to clear my thoughts so I enter the marble bathroom with gold accents, just the bathroom makes me scared to touch anything as I may break something worth more than anything I've ever touched.

Drenching myself in the endless stream of water from the shower head makes me remember the times Thaddeus and I had showered together; he'd wash me and wouldn't let me leave until he thought I was thoroughly cleansed. I laugh at the memory but gasp when arms suddenly encircle me.

The familiar sparks halt my panic as I'm spun around by Thaddeus, my hands push against his chest as I lean my head against him with a sigh of relief "You scared me" I tell him which makes his deep laugh echo through the bathroom.

He tips my head up whilst lowering his own "I missed you Isi" he says, pressing a long kiss to my lips - the feel of his lips on mine and his arms encircling me make me close my eyes and completely relax into him, succumbing to the moment of us being together again.

"You are..." he growls picking me up and pressing me against the cold tiles of the shower making me gasp and arch my body into his warmth, he kisses me and pushes me back against the tiles before descending his mouth to my neck licking, sucking and biting but not enough to mark my skin.

Growling as his mouth keeps going lower, sucking my pebbled n*****s earning an echoing moan from me "Beautiful" he says, grinding his hips into mine in slow pleasurable movements working the knot in my belly.

"Please" I whimper, wanting him to stop teasing me and give me my release.

He groans and moves his mouth to mine kissing me feverishly "Don't beg baby you know what that does to me" his husky voice has me trembling in anticipation, feeling his hardness press into my belly and rub on my bundle of nerves has me moaning out pleas.

A loud knock on the door distracts me and I quickly put my hands against Thaddeus' chest "I need to get the door" I rasp "No" he growls, continuing to kiss me and grind against me, teasingly positioning himself at my entrance as his thumb travels lower to press against my most sensitive area.

"Baby, no" I say, he growls and lowers me "Hurry back" he says swatting my ass making my cheeks flush even more, I step out of the shower and grab a towel before hurrying out to my room and then to the door just as another loud knock sounds and Zoltar's scent is behind the door.

After securing my towel, I tentatively unlock the door and open it a crack so only my face pops out "Hello Zoltar" I mumble, feeling my cheeks burn intensely as I'm certain he knew what I was just doing and I still feel as though Thaddeus' hands are still upon me.

He clears his throat "Isilee," he nods in greeting "May I come in?" he asks politely, I blink in surprise "Yes, of course" I tell him, opening the door for him as he steps in eyes quickly searching the room and landing on the bathroom door.

I close the door and he then turns to me drifting down to my attire before coughing and bringing his eyes to focus look at the painting on my wall, a slight red flush to his neck and ears which seems like nothing compared to my probable blushed crimson face.

"The prince is required, I thought he may be in here and I was right"

"Yes, he's just showering. Should I get him?" I ask but before he can reply he bathroom door opens and Thaddeus walks out completely naked with his hardened crotch in full display.

He walks over to me as I blush even more and puts an arms around my waist "I am busy, I told you to leave me for the rest of the evening" he tells Zoltar who somehow manages to keep his gaze fixed on Thaddeus' face but he seems unfazed by his nakedness.

"Unfortunately the King wishes to speak to you, Lord Armand is here and needs to discuss matters with the both of you"

"He was supposed to arrive tomorrow with Stelios, I will speak to them both then" Thaddeus is quick to say as he begins to lead me back to the bathroom "He requested to speak ahead of then, it is urgent according to your father and your presence is required."

Thaddeus growls in frustration "I told the King you had just gotten into the shower but he wants you to meet in his office afterwards, giving you around twenty minutes at the most to do what you need to" Zoltar tells him and then Thaddeus smiles my way with a cheeky glint in his eyes.

"Come then my female" he says lustfully, his hands eagerly drifting down my towel clad body "You should go, it's important" I say quietly still embarrassed by Zoltar's presence "You are more important" he counters, pressing his still hard erection against me.

"Stop" I whisper pushing him away "There's no time" I say, but he yanks at my towel pulling it off of my body "There's always time for your pleasure my female" he smirks once again swatting my behind but this time with the towel making me yelp and blush when Zoltar laughs.

Thaddeus runs forward and easily scoops me into his arms "My naughty little female" he growls nipping at my neck, walking us back into the bathroom and into the shower to continue with our private time.

.

"You are so gorgeous Isi" Thaddeus tells me kissing my shoulder softly as I wrap a dressing gown around myself, I lower my head at his compliment trying to rid of the blush his words cause on my cheeks "You know your blushes make me need to kiss you" he says going to press our lips together but i pull away.

"We need to make sure our scents aren't on each other" I remind him opening the bathroom door as he follows me out but we are quickly greeted by not only Zoltar but also Seraphina "Finally" she sighs "We need to go, your outfit is here" she walks up to Thaddeus and places them in his hands not batting an eyelash at his naked body as he begins to dress.

I stand to the side letting the guards have words with Thaddeus whilst I nervously wring my hands, feeling as though I'm in the way and not sure as to what I should do.

Sapphire blue eyes greet me when he walks to me "I'll see you later" he says "No touching" Seraphina hisses but Thaddeus snarls her way and puts his arm around my waist and nuzzles my neck "Bye baby" he says softly.

He pulls back and kisses me "I love you"

I blush and mutter a quick goodbye, tucking my hair behind my ear when he walks over to the guards again "Say it back" he snarls as Seraphina sprays his hand with scent masker now he's away from me "Isilee you will need to spray both rooms with the scent masker to be sure there's no trace" Zoltar tells me, I nod and say thank you.

"Isi" Thaddeus snaps, looking as though he'll shift any moment; eyes swirling with black, teeth descending, growl rumbling and body shaking. "You know I love you" I murmur blushing even more as I see Seraphina roll her eyes "How can I if you do not say it? I like hearing you say you love me" he says.

"I know" I say with a small smile and red cheeks as I recount our shower where he growled, groaned and kissed me each time I declared my love just like every time we mate.

He smirks as if reading my thoughts and I see the lust shine through his eyes "By the Moon, I f*****g love you" he growls with a lick of his lips starting to walk towards me again but Zoltar stands in front of him "I advise to not touch her now the scents been masked my prince, we do have to go" he reminds him.

"How can I keep my hands off of my beautiful female when she blushes?"

That question only has me blushing more "Go" I laugh making him smile my way "Leave room for me in bed tonight" he says before leaving me with a wide smile on my face and red cheeks.

.

The pain keeps burning, sharp stabs seem to be thrust at my heart and stomach as tears leak from my eyes and silent screams of pain leave my mouth as I wrap my arms around my curled up body.

My wolf whines and my heart feels completely shattered telling me of the cause of this pain; it's just a gut feeling but I know it to be true and it hurts even more to know that now we are close I should expect to feel this pain for the rest of my life.

Thaddeus is sleeping with another female

Calliope I expect. I didn't know I'd feel it, the pain.

Mated pairs had said they could sense if their mate cheated on them but none had described a pain, a burning and torturous pain like I'm experiencing but I just know that that is the cause of my pain.

I always knew we were meant to be, our souls feel connected like we're mated but perhaps we are more than that. How can I feel like this when we aren't mated?

I have had an incline that we're destined mates.

That hadn't been heard of for centuries; destined mates were believed to be legends as wolves could only choose their mates and the Moon would decide if she accepted their bond at the mating ceremony of the pair but destined mates were said to be pairings that the Moon decided herself. She created two wolves which were halves of one soul - true mates.

Fifteen minutes after the pain stops Thaddeus enters my room through the window and my suspicions are confirmed when Calliope's scent hits my nose, both his release and a sweeter scented release is attached to his skin when he climbs into my bed and kisses me I taste her.

He growls "You've been crying Isilee?" he turns my body so he can lay on top of me and look at my dry tears that I had tried to wipe away.

More tears ache to be released as I picture them together; was he on top of her like this? Did he kiss her the way he kissed me? Did he leave his marks of love on her like I wanted him to leave on me but he never did? Did he tell her he loved her whilst they mated like he did to me?

"Why have you been crying?" he snarls, demanding an answer that I cannot bring myself to give

"I missed you"
