Almost 18
I'm usually woken up to the sound of my alarm going off but today was slightly different.
Today I was woken up to the sounds of my draws being ripped open and clothes being chucked across my room.
"perfect,this will do just fine...thanks Stella".
I was still getting used to living with Tilly,she was the same year as me but we where complete opposites and unfortunately I wouldn't be getting rid of her anytime soon seeing as her mother just married my father.
I sat up and looked around at my trashed room feeling deflated..."2 more months" I told myself 2 more months and I would be 18 and my mate would come to take me away from Tilly and her Perky prying mother.
"BZZZ BZZZZ" I grabbed my phone it was Casey,
"be there in 10 xx" I read her message and instantly felt sick,it was the first day of my final year and as excited as I was,I was still petrified to go back to school.
It wasn't school that scared me what terrified me was that I would be seeing Taylor Casey's twin brother who I had slept with over summer break...I had feelings for him...strong feelings,But I couldn't help but feel used.
Taylor was the popular jock at school that always had girls hanging off him.I hadn't had a chance to really talk to him since it all happened,not that he made an effort either and to make it worst Casey spent most her time complaining about how her brother always had some new girl over and how she thought so little of his flavour of the week.
After a quick shower I slipped into my favourite ripped black jeans with a oversized Ramones shirt that I tied into a knot showing just a bit of my tummy.
I chucked on my converse shoes and tied my hair into a messy bun bit of gloss and I was good to go.
I looked at myself in the mirror letting out a sigh "ahh Stella this is as good as its going to get" just as I was checking myself out I heard a beep...time to get this over with.
I ran down the stairs closing the door on Elena who was barking some crap about doing the dishes,she's practically living off my dad I'm sure between manicures and pedicures she can handle it.
I went to jump in the front and was caught off guard by Taylor who was sitting in the front seat.I jumped in the back feeling like my skin was on fire from being this close to Taylor...the last time I had seen him he was inside of me.
"hey babe" Casey said Taylor's car is getting fixed so he's grabbing a lift with us."Hey stella" Taylor said flashing me the most perfect smile I loved hearing him say my name ...I'm instantly taken back to that night and how it all started,the first innocent kiss that lead to him taking my virginity, I can still feel his hands all over me and how good they felt inside me.I snap out of it and catch Taylor looking at me weirdly almost like he could read my mind. Embarrassed I look out the window wishing I was at school already.
When we finally arrive at school Casey says she has to go the office to grab her new timetable and will see me at break time after a big hug she spins around leaving Taylor and I there in awkwardness.
"have a good day I say" and begin to walk off "wait Stella ..can we talk?".
I feel a huge lump in my throat and wish Casey was still here so I could avoid this entire situation,I knew I would have to face Taylor but didn't think it would be on the first day back.
"sure" I say giving him a nervous smile.
"look I just don't want you to get the wrong Idea"...he says not making eye contact the entire time he is talking he is looking almost past me constantly running his finger through his hair like I'm not there.
"I mean it was fun but I'm not really interested in it being more than that".
my heart sinks,more than that,the way he said it was like its going to be a reoccurring thing.
"anyways I'll catch ya round and please don't say anything to Casey or anyone".
I watch him disappear into the school grounds and see a familliar brunette (Tilly) meeting him at the door and covering him with kisses.
If I didn't feel like crap before I sure do now.
School dragged on and when I finally got home I was curious to see a car outside Mr Howard's house,he is my elderly neighbour and he never has visitors and never leaves the house,Maybe the old guy had finally croaked.
"ah there you are sweetheart " Elana says in an extremely fake voice "Tilly and I are going to get our nails done,want to join? my shout."
ha,I laugh you mean "dads shout".
that irritating smile instantly drops and she leaves without saying another word,Finally some alone time.
I collapse on my bed revisiting the conversation I had earlier with Taylor,my heart hurts.
just as I feel my self drifting off I hear arguing coming from Mr Howard's house.
I slowly lift my blind peeking out into Mr Howard's backyard and I'm shocked to see a an extremely good looking guy arguing with Mr Howard "I don't even know her,why should I have to marry someone I don't know and don't care about".
Mr Howard looks deflated and says "you must Alex, she is our only hope to save the kingdom".
just than the mysterious man looks up at my window like he knew I was there.
I jump down crashing to the floor
wait...did he just say "Alex".
Alex POV
I knew I would have to come back here some day but since I was almost 20 I thought that somewhere along the line it was all forgotten about and I wouldn't have to return.
when I was 18 the thought of returning back to the small town I once left and seeing the look on everyone's face when they realised small Alex had grown would be so rewarding.
but now it had been almost 2 years I had gotten use to the kingdom and the many benefits that came with it.
I loved being In charge and I loved having my choice of beautiful woman begging to please me.Im sure if I really tried I could find a suitable queen in the palace like Bethany she definitely had the ahhhh "assets" I smile to myself,I do miss her and her fistiness just as i was thinking about last night my phone buzzes and I open it to find a picture of Bethany fresh out of the shower with a cheeky message saying "hope your not having to much fun with out me" I instantly feel my c**k harden "haha never" I quickly text back before my Beta tells me we have arrived.
Brighten hasn't changed one bit and is still dull as ever but I supposed everything is compared to the kingdom.
my uncle comes out to greet me and helps me with my bags and before I know it we are exchanging heated words after all it's his fault I am here he is the one who told my mother it was time and I needed to come back.
Just as I was giving him a piece of my mind it hits me.....my body tingles from head to toe and I can't help but feel drawn to somthing...or someone I look up in the direction I am being drawn to and see someone starring back at me.
I need find out who she is.
Stella POV
oh God please don't let him have seen me..my breathing is heavy and I feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest.
I slowly creep up and peak outside the window but to my surprise he's gone.
"THUMP THUMP THUMP" I scream and almost fall off my bed in fear.
argh it's probably Tilly and Elana I seriously don't know how hard it is to remember a key!.
I swing open the front door with an angry force but to my surprise it's not Elana or Tilly staring back at me it's a A very handsome blonde guy glaring at me.
he looks angry and bluntly says "you really should check who it is before opening the door I could have been someone dangerous".
he hands me a piece of paper and turns away.
he spins back and gives me one last stern glance before saying "make sure you lock your door" he then walks across the yard into Mr Howard's house.
What was that about! and what had just happened.
I look down at the note in my hands nervous to open it I slowly tear open the envelop to find a card with a short blunt sentence
Friday
7.30pm dinner
My tummy rumbled...food,I need food.
the week went past pretty quick and before I knew it it was Friday.
still unsure about the letter I decided I didn't want to be home when 7.30 hit and instead I packed a few belongings in a bag and headed to Casey's.
I hadn't had a chance to talk to Casey about the note yet she had started dating Steve and it had become rare to see her with out his tounge ramed down her throat.
Casey and Taylor's parents where out of town so they had invited some friends over.
Sick of watching Casey and Steve play tonsil Hockey I headed down stairs to the party it was 9pm now and my 7.30 dinner was long gone I contemplated going home.
"hey" Taylor said moving in close you look lost "I could smell the alcohol on his breath and he was very touchy.
"I'm fine" I say slowly backing away ,but with every step I take back he takes one forward.
till he has cornered me into a dark corner with both his arms on either side of me.
he slowly runs his hand up my thigh to my underwear and try's to slide then across.
"Taylor stop" your drunk and I'm not some toy you can play with when you want some.
I try to pull past him but he is strong,he will be a strong wolf one day and will be an asset to our pack but for now I wish he wasn't so strong.
"shh Stella, I know you want me in you again,I can feel how warm and wet you are for me" he says as his fingers slide across my opening teasing me.
As good as it feels I'm determined to not be his play thing I push him again but he still won't move.
now I'm scared he is pushing his hands up my dress and trying to get under my bra "Taylor I mean it" without warning I feel a force ripping Taylor off me and see Taylor being sent across the room crashing into a table.
I look up to See the mysterious man who was Arguing with Mr Howard standing in front of me.
he glares at me and says "it's 9.30"
confused I glare back at him not knowing how to reply
before I know it he has lifted me over his shoulder and is carrying me out of the house .
panicked I thump as hard as I can on his back "PUT ME DOWN" I scream not knowing where Im going or who Im with!
Casey and Steve come running out to find me but are greeted by the blonde man who delivered the note to me....I can't hear what they are saying but whatever he has said has shocked them and they nod there heads and turn back inside.
WHAT?! thanks allot Casey! why has my best friend let this random man take me away screaming!.
before I know it I have been placed in the back of a limo and the mysterious man gets in next to me.
the car is dark and I can only see his face when the street lights shine tiny glimpses of light into the car.
"hi,I'm Alex"
his voice is relaxing and his scent is addictive,I still have questions and I'm furious that this man thinks he can just take me away not tell me atleast where we are going.
I feel his stare burning me and I glance down even though it's dark I still feel embarrassed to be shown this much attention.
he slowly moves a stray hair from my face brushing his fingers over my lips...and without hesitation he kisses me.
he tilts my head and passionately kisses me pulling me onto his lap I feel so small compared to his huge frame I feel him pulling me closer to him my legs spread on either side of his lap,I feel his erection pushing into me and he let's out a little moan that wakes me from his spell.
I leap off him realising what has just happened and even though I enjoyed it I am well aware it's not somthing you should do with someone who have only just met Even if that someone is tall, dark and handsome.
"I'm sorry" he says I just can't help myself
I'm so drawn to you he says.
and I got it every since I had seen him standing in front of me after the incident with Taylor I have just been so drawn to him.
But, I still have question's.
I manage to clear my throat" who are you"
he smiles and adjust himself.
"I'm Alex and this isn't the first time we have met Stella" I knew it! when Mr Howard had called him Alex I instantly thought it may have been Alex who lived next door to me so long ago,he was older but we still enjoyed spending time together playing catch and collecting frogs I remember being so sad when he left and I remember his mum telling me not to worry he would be back.
The car stops and we are both sitting there in silence.
"Shall we" he says confused I look out and see a beautiful dinner setting for two "where are we"
"dinner" he smiles "I mean it was for 7.30 but that didn't go to plan "
I step out of the car and walk over to the beautiful arrangement of flowers and food all set up on the beach for 2.
This is beautiful I manage to say.
but why me?
"please sit down he says pointing to my chair"
I sit and look at him and almost die when my tummy makes an extremely loud grumble . he laughs "perhaps we should eat first then I'll explain everything.
after a beautiful dinner and small talk Alex pulled of his coat and put it around me let's go for a walk he says pointing to the beautiful beach that is lit up by a huge moon.
after a few steps he turns and smiles at me "you are breathtakingly beautiful" I blush and look away "I didn't think I would be so drawn to you but evey minute I am with you I just have this desire to take you in my arms and have all of you.
trying to get the attention of me I turn to him and say "so can you tell me now who you are and why me,"
"to keep it simple Stella...you are my mate but you should also know I am a Lycan king and you are my queen..when we move you will"
I cut him off "MOVE!"
"yes move" he says calmly stopping to face me.
"I can't move! my entire life is here my family,my school my job! I mean my job was only working weekends at the coffee hub it was still mine!.
"it's all been sorted and we leave next week"
"NEXT WEEK!" I feel the rage burning inside me.
"NO! I refuse to go,you can't just walk in here and think because you are a king I have to do whatever you say!"
I can see his patience getting thin and I'm almost scared for his reply, his face is tense now and his words are cold and blunt.
"YES IT DOES" he says looking straight through me "you are mine Wether you like it or not! MINE! you will do what I say and you will not argue!.
your schooling will be finished online and your mother has packed your belongings "Step" I bluntly say and of course she has she will be happy to see me go and I'm sure Tilly has already moved all her stuff in my room!.
"what about my friends!" I scream.
"Casey can visit but I want you to stay away from her brother...he's lucky to still be breathing he says scrunching his fists,
you are not to go anywhere without my Beta Daniel",
I assume that is the blonde guy always hanging around.
"And If I refuse"
"you can't...and I am happy to throw you over my shoulder and carry you wherever I need to...like the bed for instance" he says stepping closer to me he slowly leans down and whispers in my ear "Mate"
I had imagined this moment my entire life...and this was not at all how I had imagined it.
what was I going to do..It felt like I didn't have a choice and no matter what I would have to move and leave everything and everyone behind.
What about Casey and my Dad? school.
this was just so unfair and I wasn't going without a fight.
I was relieved when we pulled into my drive way and Alex didn't get out,good I didn't want him near me and I don't know why Daniel had to stay with me.
