Forbidden Mate

Chapter 9

We make our way out of the lift I finally feel a little cooler. Alaric carries me bridal style across the room as Oscar comes flying into the room, his eyes all crazy. I charges towards me and tries to snatch me from Alaric's firm but soothing grip. 

"Stay back boy" 

"Give her to me she smells incredible let me worship her" 

"Oscar get back" Alaric commands. 

"What's happening to me" Oscar questions his moves as he seems to snap out of his daze.

"Aria has gone into heat, take yourself to your room and lock yourself in. Light a candle if you must" Oscar nods

"But why is it effecting me a she wolfs heat should only effect her kind" 

"Unless she is a royal you moron. Did they not teach you anything. Her heat is the most powerful. She is unmated so everyone wants her she can only be given any form of relief by her one true mate, now go" with that Oscar turns and runs to his room. 

Alaric carries me in and lays me on my bad as I curl into a ball as the pain and heat flares up again. I look to find him but I can't see him anywhere. I hear a noise in the bathroom as water begins to run. I pull off his jacket so I am completely naked thinking that would cool me but it doesn't help. I try to stand as Alaric comes back into the room.

"Umm oh okay. You need to get into the bathtub" I try to stand but fall back to the floor. "I'm just going to help you okay" I nod looking into his eyes. They are swirling with so much violet the cobalt blue is almost not there. I can't help but gasp. He is fighting with himself. I can't help but snuggle closer to him to feel the relief he provides me. He lowers me slowly into the tub when the ice and water provides the most incredible relief bringing my heat right down. 

"Alaric your eyes" I am finally able to talk 

"Yes Princess I need to go, your scent is driving me crazy and the things I feel towards you right now are heightened. I need you to lock your doors to keep you safe from everyone" I nod and in a blink of the eye he is gone. I quickly fumble out of the bathtub and dash to the door and lock it. I can feel the heat flare up again and run for the tub. 

I submerge myself once again, but this time I feel a throbbing between my legs. I have to deal with it before the pain becomes unbearable. I lower my hand to the junction between my legs and begin to explore my fingers grazing my delicate throbbing bud. I can feel pleasure build and plunge my fingers into my core using my thumb to keep massaging my bud. The pressure and pleasure keep building as it does thoughts of Alaric flood my head and his eyes watching me pleasure myself flood my mind. It all becomes too much as I feel myself tighten and I fall apart around my fingers. Just doing that, my heat seems to be under control. 

I leave the tub and head out into the bedroom checking the door is still locked. I grab an oversized t-shirt and pull it on. Set the thermostat for the room to the coldest just in case my heat flares up whilst I sleep. Crawling into my bed I let my mind wander  over the events of today. 

I let myself relax and soon I am consumed by sleep. I find myself in the white dreamscape. I wander around the emptiness and find a door. Which is odd as it is always empty here.  I reach out and open the door taking me to a magical garden surrounded by moonflowers. 

I venture further into the garden and follow a small river to a beautiful crystal clear lagoon. I can't help but want to swim in there. Just as a dip my toe in a reflection of a woman appears in the water. I quickly turn to see where the reflection is coming from. I find a tall stunning woman stood there with black raven curls falling over her shoulder just as I'm about to say something I'm snapped awake by a load crashing. I sit up startled heat flaring through my body and find my door hanging off its hinges. 

I look around and meet a set of eyes. Not the eyes I want to see. 

Oscar. 

"What the hell are you doing in here" I yell grabbing whatever I can to cover myself. 

"I need you Aria, you know it and I know you want it too" he says stalking closer to me. 

"Get the F##k out" I move further away from him. I need to get space between us. By the time he is at the side of my bed I'm off the other side weighing up my options: do I sprint past to the bathroom or do I head out into the living area of the suit. 

"Come on Aria, I know you are in pain. Let me ease it for you. You know I can" he crawls across my bed towards me. I decide the main part of the suite is probably safer plus I will be closer to the exit. 

"Stay away from me. You know only a true mate can ease this and that's not you" I warn as I back out of the room 

"Well why don't we find out. You know now that you don't have those preposterous things in your eyes" 

"Stay the f##k away" I scream again. This time my claws come out as I can't control them. The anger I feel is rising and all I am seeing is red. 

I feel arms around my waist and in a blink of the eye I was sitting on a bed that wasn't mine with the doors shut. I look around the room and see a familiar suit draped over the chair in the corner of the room. I'm in Alaric's room. There is a lot of noise coming from the main area of the suit and sounds like a lot of damage is being caused. The heat is unbearable so i make my way to the shower in his room and set the water to the coldest setting. Dropping my t-shirt I step under the icy cold flow of water. The feeling is almost soothing but I know that soon I will need to deal with myself again. 

Honestly I wish I was at home for this at least my parents would be there for support and protection from others. Most shifters in heat are usually already marked by their mate or their parents lock them away for safety. But in all my years never have I known the scent of a shifter to affect other supernatural species.
