The slave with the king mate

Chapter eighteen

Emily:

Wow. That was amazing. I was so nervous waiting for Joseph to arrive back. I was worried he wasn’t going to want to do it with me. That he would think I’m to broke but I know what I want. I wanted to be one with mate. I know what has happened to me in the past and I know I can’t fix it but I shouldn’t let it stop me from having my happily ever after. I won’t let it. I won’t let it control me. I want to be free.

I was also worried he wouldn’t like my body. I know I don’t have a body like the other girls. I’m all skin and bone. No fat, no muscle. Not like Rebecca. She has curves and big boobs and ass that sticks out nicely. I hate my body. I can’t even look at myself naked in the mirror.

“Baby are you ok?”. My mate asks laying naked next to me.

“Yeah I was just thinking”. I sign.

“Thinking about?”.

“Just how much I hate my body. I’m just skin and bone. There’s no curves to me.” I roll over so I’m facing away from him.

“Em I love your body. It’s perfect. If your worried about your weight though then I will happily Spend me days fatten you up by feeding you heaps of lollies and chocolate”. I giggle.

“What happens once I’m fat?”. I ask

“Nothing but then if you try to leave me you can’t run away you’ll have to roll”. I break out in laughter. I’m starting to learn that my mate is abit of a weirdo.

“That is such a weird thing to say”.

“You know me”. He smiles

I look at the time on the clock. For some reason after everything that has happened today I feel like it should be later then 9pm. Today seems to drag on forever. I can’t believe I might have found out who my mother is. As I child I often wondered about her, but as I grew those wonders soon faded. Besides the dreams I was sometimes left with. The dreams of the red haired women telling me she loves me. Sometimes I hated her. For dying and leaving me here with William. I hated the vampires that killed her. Living in hate doesn’t get you anywhere though and even as a kid I knew that wasn’t a path I wanted to go down. How could William treat me the way he did if I was his niece? Even if he hated my mother I was still family. I remember Alpha Mark use to be really sweet to me. Then he died and everything went to hell.

I really need to stop thinking about this.

“ How did the meeting with the vampire guy?” I sit up.

“ Actually. I need to talk to you about that.”

“Oh?”.

“So I’ve sent Sam to organise a time with the vampire king so we can have a meeting with him as he seemed to want to have a meeting with William. We’re not 100% sure what it’s about but I think it has something to do with you?”

“Me?”.

“He has stated that he would like you to be present during the meeting”.

“Why me? Cause I’m your mate?”.

“No. He doesn’t know where mates. I’ve agreed to bring you on the condition all attacks in this pack are stopped and the people of the towns are left alone”.

“ oh ok. Well if that is the agreement and he excepts it then I will go”. He gives me a surprised look.

“Are you sure? I didn’t think you would agree so quickly”.

“There must be a reason he wants me there it wouldn’t just be for no reason and I kinda wanna know what it is. Plus If it is in the agreement to save the town and the people then it’s my job to comply with what is agreed. These will be my people to and I would like to protect them in any way I possibly can”.

“That’s very queen like of you hunny”.

“s**t!”. Joseph jumps out of bed. “I was meant to call the council tonight and inform them of William and the status of the pack.”

“Oh no!”.

“I’m sorry baby. I’ll head down to office so I don’t get in your way. This could be a long phone call”.

“Hey Joe? Do you think there would be any information in the office about Ariel? I mean she was the Alphas daughter”.

“Um maybe. Most packs are meant to keep a record of all pack members birth and status’s within the pack.As she wasn’t born within the pack though I don’t know if anything would be documented”.

“Can I have a look through the office while you have your phone call? I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep”.

“That’s fine baby. Get dressed and I’ll make us some hot chocolates.”

I hop out of bed and head straight to the bathroom. I give my marking spot abit of a rub as it still stings. Looking at it in the mirror I can see this pattern lightly appearing. I take a closer look.

“Wow”. It’s a wolf wearing a crown howling at a moon. It’s so pretty.

“You ok baby?”.

“Yeah I’m just looking at our mark. It’s beautiful! The wolfs wearing a crown” I giggle.

“Yes. The royal marks always have some sort of crown on them to show there royal status. Each mark is different though. Just like the mates wearing them. I’m gonna head to the kitchen meet you down there?”.

“Yep”. I finish looking at my mark and throw on some PJs. I pick the silk emerald colour pair with the singlet shirt and short shorts. I give my hair a bit of a brush and head down to meet my mate in the kitchen.

“ I made us a few sandwich’s as well. You didn’t really eat dinner so I knew you would be hungry”. My belly grumbles at the mention of food. I laugh. He knows me so well already.

“It’s weird. I didn’t use to not realise when I was hungry. I was so use to. I’ve only been with you for less then 2 days and now every time I miss a meal I can feel it.”

“That’s the way it’s meant to be. You shouldn’t go without a meal and you never will again. Actually I was thinking that we might get the pack doctor to come have a look at you in the morning. All that not eating can’t be good for you”.

“Ok. I’ve never seen a doctor.”

“Never?”.

“Never. Not even when I broke my arm. William say I wasn’t worth calling him over for”. William growls.

“It’s ok it healed”.

“That’s not the point. Every pack member should be allowed to see the pack doctor. Their there for everyone”. We pick up our drinks and sandwiches and head to the office. The door is slightly open.

“I though I closed this”. Joe puts his stuff down on the cupboard outside and walks in.

“Omg for f***s sakes”.
