¨I´m Victoria. I'm Lorenzo's fiance.¨ I already hate her voice.
Fiance?
He's engaged.
He's a liar.
I can't believe I actually believed him. There was no way I was lucky enough to be given a powerful mate such as our king. I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. I wanted to smash something. Anything, preferably the blond b***h Victoria. Though maybe Lorenzo too. It wasn't her fault that he lied to me. It was mine.
I took a deep breath in and that's when I smelt the nasty scent. Sour rotting fruit. It came from Victoria. I think it was her perfume. Her too strong, perfume. He was with her. He lied to me. Shocker.
¨And who are you?¨ Victoria interrupted my thoughts. I gave her a strained smile.
¨Oh I’m nobody important. I just came to visit Ronny.¨ I lied to her. I would not give her or Lorenzo the satisfaction of seeing me break.
¨Do you know where I can find him?¨
¨Oh I heard him in the kitchen, I think heś in there with his mate.¨
¨Okay thank you, I really need him right now. It was nice to meet you.¨ I turned to look at Lorenzo. His face carried so many emotions. Shock, disappointment, fear, and anger. What right does he have to be angry. ¨Thank you for entertaining me, your royal highness, sorry for bothering you.¨ I got up and walked towards the kitchen, passing Lorenzo.
I didn't want to be here anymore. I need to get out. I walked through the kitchen doors and was met with two people sucking faces. I gasped in surprise and covered my eyes with my hand. They pulled apart shocked and turned to look at me with curiosity.
¨Oh I am so sorry. I didn't see anything.¨ I said, peeking through my fingers.
¨We are so sorry we didn't hear anybody come in here.¨ The,very beautiful, woman said. She had light brown hair that flowed down right under her breast. She had fair clear skin and dark green eyes that looked like they could see right through me. She only looked slightly older than me.
¨Yea we kind of got caught up,sorry.¨ the man said smiling at the woman. He was a tall good looking man, though not as tall or good looking as Enzo. The man had honey colored skin and deep brown eyes. His hair was dark brown cut short. He looked older than me and the women,but not by that much, only a few years maybe. He had a very powerful aura that surrounded him. Heś the beta. Ronny?
¨A-are you Ronny?¨
¨Uhm yea that's me. Roman Reaves, but my friends call me Ronny.¨
¨Oh do you think you can help me, I need to get home and don't know how to.¨ I asked him. I didn't want to be around that lying king anymore. Goddess I let him kiss me so many times. I WENT DOWN ON HIM. Maybe that was all he wanted me for. A s****l release. A play thing he could use and throw away in the end. Jackson didn't want me, how could I even think a king would. I felt my eyes well up with unshed tears. ¨P-please I need to go home.¨ My voice came out shakey. I want my parents. I should have never let home. As soon as I leave this place I a going back. I just wanted to be with my family. I missed them so much.
¨Hey don't cry. Weĺl get you outta here, okay. I just need to let the king know we are taking you home.¨ Roman said to me. No. I didn't want him to tell Lorenzo. ¨Wait how did you even get here?¨
¨Uhm Marious brought me here.¨ I lied. I didn't need any complications with the king right now I just wanted to go home. ¨And I already told the king I would be leaving.¨ He looked at me as if he could tell I was lying,but there was no way, how could he possibly know.
¨Okay then let me go get my keys and i´ll take you home.¨
¨Okay thank you I just need to get a few things from upstairs.¨ I walked out the other door on the opposite side of the kitchen door so I wouldn't have to face Enzo and Victoria again. I made my way to the stairs and started climbing. When I reached the second floor I debated on taking the elevator but decided against it. I didn't feel like feeling even more sick than I already do. I walked up the stairs till I reached the fifth floor. It actually wasn't that bad. I should have taken the stairs to begin with.
I hesitated when I reached his bedroom door. I put my hand on the handle and pushed the door open and was immediately hit with his scent. That's when I couldn't stop the tears any more. I sat on my knees on the floor and cried. Why would he do that to me? All I ever wanted was for someone to love me. And no matter how hard I tried I could never get them too. I tried so hard for people to like me, and everything I did just never worked. I cried silently as my heart broke all over again. Everything that has happened in this past week was too much for my weak heart to handle.
I got up off the floor and went to grab the duffel bag that I never got to unpack. I was thankful that I didn't because I didn't want to waste any more time than I needed to. My bag was in the far corner of our - HIS closet. Nothing here was ever mine. I picked up my duffle bag and the necklace that my parents got me. They might have gotten that necklace for bad reasons, but I loved it, it brought me comfort and made me feel calm. I looked around the room and sighed. There were still tears rolling down my cheeks. I sniffled and walked to the door to leave.
Before my hand touched the door knob, the door swung open, revealing a very angry king. He looked down at me and his eyes held for much fear and anger. It was almost scary. He looked like he was about to shift any second. I had never seen a lycan in real life before.
¨What the f**k are you doing!¨ he growled at me. He sounded more animal than human.
¨Your highness, I was just leaving. I wouldn't want to get in your way¨ I told him, holding back more tears.
He grabbed the duffel bag off my shoulder and threw it at the wall behind us. ¨You're not going anywhere!¨ He walked further into the room causing me to back up further into the room too. He slammed the door shut so hard, i'm surprised the door didn't slip in two.
He stalked over to me, making me take a few steps back. I ended up tripping over my feet but landing on the soft bed. Before I could get up Lorenzo was on top of me growling. His teeth had elongated and looked sharp. His eyes were glowing blood red. He looked like he was about the rip out of his clothes any second now. His muscles were bulging out. If someone were to look at him now they would be terrified, but not me. He looked like a beautiful monster, MY beautiful monster.
¨YOU ARE NOT LEAVIN ME!!¨ He growled again
¨Ryker?¨
¨Mate can NOT leave me!¨ he got closer to my face. He had both his hands on either side of my head, one leg was in between both on mine while the other was on the outside.¨Mate does NOT get to LEAVE!¨
¨Ryker, please calm down.¨
¨Mate does not leave me.¨ he said burying his nose in my neck. He inhaled deeply and growled. He put his body in between my legs and wrapped my legs around his waist. He started grinding his erection against my, now throbbing, core. He felt so good. I didn't want him to stop, but then I remembered his engaged to be married. I refuse to be the other woman.
¨Ryker, please stop.¨ I started crying again. His eyes flickered from gorgeous green to fascinating red. They flicked for a while till I started sobbing. I honestly don't know why. I am barely one to cry. His eyes flashed a bright green. Lorenzo.
He placed his forehead on mine and exhaled shakely. ¨Baby girl please let me explain. Please don't leave me. I have waited too long to find you. I can't lose you now.¨ He pleaded. He closed his eyes and I felt something wet drop to my cheek. Is he crying? Did I just make the Big Bad King cry?
¨You're engaged Lorenzo. There is nothing to explain.¨ It hurt to say it out loud. He climbed off of me and sat me up at the end of the bed. Lorenzo kneeled in front of me holding my hands in his.
¨I am not engaged to Victoria. But we were together a long time ago, I haven't seen her in over a year. I had been searching for my mate since I turned 18. After 2 years of not finding you I settled for victoria. But after 2 years of us being together I left her. I just didn't feel right being with her anymore. And now I know why. Because I was going to find you.¨ he kissed the backside of my hand. ¨During those 2 years the counsel believed I was too dangerous without a queen so they were going to have me mate and marry Victoria. All alphas thoughts that would be best since Ryker was out of control cause he couldn't find his fated mate.I was going to do it until last year when I almost destroyed the castle because I couldn't get Ryker under control. He wanted to go on a killing spree because he refused to mate someone that wasn't our mate.¨ he looked up at me and I wanted to cry. How could they try to make him mate someone who wasn't his mate. That is just evil.
¨But we have you now. Baby girl please don't leave us to her. We need you.¨
My heart is beating so hard and so fast it was getting hard to breathe. I took a deep breath in and exhaled. I lunged at Enzo, taking him by surprise, causing him to fall backwards onto his back. I put my hands behind his head before his head hit the ground. I didn't waste any time in kissing the life out of him. I thought I was going to have to find a chosen mate in order for me to be happy. It was in that moment I knew I was not going to let anyone or anything stand between us. I was not going to let anybody take away my happiness. I was done putting others before myself. From now on I was going to focus on making myself and My king happy. Cause he belonged to me.
¨MINE¨ Lani and I growled against his lips. She was not taking the whole ´him being engaged to a barbie bitch´, her words not mine, too well. Though victoria did look like a jacked up barbie. She had long bleached blonde hair that you could smell from a mile away. It looked like it would all come out if you pulled too hard. She was tall a whole lot taller than me maybe six foot. I didn't get a chance to get a good look at what she was wearing since she had her whole bony ass in my face. She looked all fake. It looked like the amount of surgery she got must have costed a ton. I mean she was pretty from afar, but up close she was all kinds of ugly.
Lorenzo breaks the kiss and smiles at me, moving a stray piece of hair behind my ear. I lean into his touch when he leaves his hand resting on my cheek.
“ I’m sorry if I caused a scene.” I said to him sheepishly.
“ it’s fine baby girl”
“Where is victoria?”
“I had her leave until further notice she shouldn’t be around here to cause any problems. Whatever you don’t like gets taken care of.” He kissed my forehead.
“You didn’t have to do that ya know.”
“I didn't think you’d be comfortable with her staying near you. I also didn’t want you to be around her. I don’t need her corrupting my princess.” I let out a light laugh at what he said. I don’t know why I ever doubted this wonderful man.
“Can we go get breakfast? I'm kinda hungry.” My stomach growled just to prove my point.
“Anything my queen wants.” He led us back down the stairs and into the kitchen. The majority that were down here before were gone. Now it was just Roman Reaves and his mate. His mate was sitting on his lap and they were sucking faces again. “ You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“s**t man ya scared me.” Roman says, pulling away from his mate.
“I told you I didn't want to see that shit.” Lorenzo hissed harshly.
“I think they’re kinda cute.” I uttered. I don’t know why he didn’t like them together.
“I don’t need to see my best friend and beta sticking his tongue down my baby sister’s throat before I even have breakfast. Or at all, it’s gross.” Enzo grumbled. Wait.. his ‘baby sister’. Abby??
“You’re Abigail?” I asked the woman.
She looked at me a little unsure.
“Uhm yea. Who the hell are you?” she looks me up and down in disgust. Well okay then.
“Oh uhm i’m Enzo’s fri-” I stopped mid sentence when Lorenzo put his arm around my shoulders.
“She’s my mate. Your future queen.” He said proudly. It made my heart swell up with warmth.
“OH! OMG you finally found her.” Abigail screamed in excitement standing up and coming towards us. I could have sworn she just hated me like two second ago. “Sorry about the looks, I thought you uld be someone like that b***h victoria. God I hated her with a passion. You have no idea what she put him through.” she said pointing at Enzo. What does she mean? What did she put him through?
“It's fine, I completely understand.” She looked at me lovingly now.
“Can I hug you?” unsure what else to do I nodded my head. She wrapped me in a momma bear hug. She seemed realived to see me somehow, but i didnt really mind. We stood there wrapped up in each other's arms til someone cleared their throat.
“Can I have my mate back now?” We both giggled at Lorenzo as we pulled apart.
“We’ll have to go shopping soon.” she says, then walks away back to her mate.
I like her.
