The Hidden

Mated

Meagan couldn’t believe that she had left home only 6 days ago. It felt like forever. She was dirty, her clothes were filthy, she had lost weight and she cried non stop. She had only seen the woman once more after their initial meeting. She had not seen the brothers at all. She had never felt so alone in all her life. Her wolf barely spoke to her seemingly angry about something. Today started a little differently though. She had been sent a nicer breakfast today with fresh fruit and hot food. Another girl came in about her age and explained she would be taken to one of the other rooms for a proper bath. She would be escorted and the door would be guarded. Meagan was thrilled. When the guard came for her, she was bouncing. She headed down the hall behind him, humming to herself. The same girl from earlier was In The bathroom with her and told her she had new clothes for her after she had a bath. Meagan asked the girl, “What is your name?”

“Hannah”

“Thank you Hannah. Do you know why I’m being allowed to take a bath and out on clean clothes.”

“I do not. It is not my job to know why.”

“What is your job?”

“Right now my job is to get you cleaned up and dressed and give you back to the guard.”

And that’s that Meagan thought. She had been hopeful she could get something out of the girl. Once she was cleaned and dressed she no longer cared what the girls job was or wasn’t. She smelled good and felt good. This dress was beautiful. She fixed her hair and skillfully applied make up. She felt like her old self. Not the self her family tried to make her be but the self she was away from them. Happy and relaxed and wanting to help others and see good things happen. She called for Hannah, “excuse me Hannah but I am ready. Thank you so much for your help.”

“You are welcome Meagan and you look beautiful. I’ll get the guard. 

When Hannah opened the door she was surprised to find that the guard was gone. The youngest brother of the family was in his place. Hannah cleared her throat (he is so handsome it makes her nervous) “Excuse me sir.”

“Oh Hannah, you don’t have to call me sir.  What’s up?”

She started stuttering, “Sorry Chase. Umm. I was looking for the guard. Meagan is ready.”

“Oh great. Thanks Hannah. I’ll take it from here.”

Hannah disappeared down the hall and Chase knocked lightly. Meagans voice was sweet and light, “Come in.”

He walked into the room and just stared. She was stunning. She asked if she could help him with something but he couldn’t even speak. She walked closer and her wolf went wild. They locked eyes and knew. They were mates. Chase grabbed her and hugged her tightly against him. Meagan sobbed in relief. They stood holding each other and not speaking. Finally Chase broke away. “I wasn’t sure you know?  They tried to make you smell differently and it masked your natural smell but I still got a hint of it.”

“I was so scared, I think that’s why I didn’t recognize you.”

“You know it has taken days for me to convince my parents to have you cleaned up so I could know for sure. I’m so glad they listened. We have to go talk to them.” Chase grabbed her hand but she jerked it away.

“No. Your parents hate me. They plan to kill me if they don’t get your sister back. I’m the enemy here and a servant.”

“My parents will understand. They would never fight fate. We are destined. You are my missing piece. We have to tell them so I can get you moved to my room.”

“They will not accept it.”

“They will if you are marked. I know it’s fast and we don’t know each other but if we complete our mating and mark each other, they will have to accept you.”

Meagan was nervous and excited. She agreed it was a good idea but she hated to rush it. 

“Will we have to completely mate?” She asked

“No. I’d like to spend some time with you. I think our wolves should spend one together too.”

Meagan nodded in agreement. She was glad that Chase wanted to wait. His scent and appearance was driving her crazy. She knew he could have easily persuaded her and she liked that he was patient and not manipulating her. ‘I’ve had enough of that,’ she thought.  

She swept her hair to one side and bared her neck. Chase approached her slowly and laid his hand on her left shoulder, rubbing her skin lightly as her lowered his mouth to the right side. He sunk his canines in and Meagan thought her whole body was going to explode. It was a sting followed by intense pleasure. She was 110% sure he could persuade her to fully mate right now. He licked the spot to seal the wound. Once it was done he stepped back. “I’m going to need just a minute.”  Meagan blushed. Apparently it had the same effect in him as it had on her. That aroused her further. Once Chase was in control again, he tolérés his head to one side, “My turn.”

Meagan smiles and approached him cautiously. She ran her fingertips over the spot she was about to bite. She wanted to enjoy this and suddenly wished they where both naked. Chase c****d an eyebrow, “You know I can hear you know, right?”  She blushed deeply, “Sorry.”

“Don’t be. I’m glad I have that effect on you, but if we don’t get this done and go talk to my parents, that noble idea of getting to know you, isn’t going to work out.”

She smiled and sank her teeth in his skin.
