His forbidden mate

The sealing .

Skylar’s pov:

“It’s time, “ one of the girls said .

I took one last look at the mirror,my white dress was made of silk ,fitted to my body and clung to my curves ,it was simple ,yet elegant. My hair was tied into a bun with pearls that adorned it .My makeup was light ,and for jewelry ,I had none .

I nodded my head letting them know I was ready .We marched outside .Just looking at the stairs made me dizzy .

I walked down the stairs with poise and a smile like Lucien asked . if I weren’t being held by the two hand maidens I would’ve tripped .The hall was big ,the ribbons adorned each pillar perfectly,the crescent markings on the tiles were gleaming and this place was filled with people .Wolves ,humans who I guess weren’t really humans and now I’m left doubting everything I’ve always known .

I looked to my left and there were people ,to my right were wolves mixed with people and in front were people seated on silver thrones with crescent markings on each .The small opening on the ceiling poured down rays of light that could only be granted by the moon,everyone stared and my heart jumped in my chest .The moment I got to the middle the girls stopped ,leaving me standing there .I was in the centre of everyone while the moon ray was on me and I felt a sudden wave of energy coursing through my veins .

Lucien walked towards me and suddenly I didn’t feel so alone . He held my hands ,looking up at the moon that was now at its peak .A sudden heat ran through my body ,like a pull and it felt like I was being drawn to the man in front of me ,our eyes met and his eyes changed color . Every sense in my body was telling me that the man would be mine forever .

Everyone clapped ,the people around started to smile and I stared at him once more ,a small smile carved on his lips .This feels right ,the moment felt right but this whole thing was absurd .

Even if all of this is true ,even if werewolves are real and I’m his mate, that doesn’t mean that they can just take me whenever they like.

“No, “ I said .

No one spoke after,making my voice echo through the halls .

“What’re you doing ?” Lucien whispered .

“No no I …I don’t accept this “

“Don’t cause a scene now ,the job has already been done “

“No, “ I said again, pulling away from his hands .

“I don’t want any of this “

The crowd gasped and others murmured .

“This isn’t supposed to be real ,werewolves aren’t supposed to exist “

“Calm down, “ Lucien said in a soft tone.

“Being your ‘mate’ “ I said in air quotes .

“Doesn’t magically make me accept being kidnapped “

“I don’t want anything to do with this “

“Lucien ,control your Luna ! “ The elderly looking man seated on the throne spoke .His crown was very hard to miss .

“Control me ?”

“I’ll go back and I won’t tell anyone about this place ,I don't even have anyone to tell ,I’m alone ,I have no friends or family,I have nothing “

My eyes found their way back to Lucien’s ,and they found worry ,fear, maybe even sadness .

“Skylar “ he said as he held my hands again ,the tears in my eyes made his face blurry and finally I’d let them drop .

There it was again ,that heat creeping up my skin .

“She’s shown just how unworthy she is ,we should never have brought a human here “

“Father please wait “ Lucien spoke to defend me .

My heart sank ,tears ran down my cheeks and suddenly the ceiling began to spin .

I couldn’t stabilise myself ,I tried to find something to hold on to but everything kept slipping. I placed my hands on the table behind me and it went crashing down .I saw the attention shift .

“Skylar ! “ That was the last thing I heard before I hit the floor .

……………

The room was dimly lit ,crafted objects all around .

The walls were filled with blue paint ,and shelves ,one that held more than a thousand books ,it was quite different from the room I was in before. I turned to find Lucien ,his hands holding mine softly as he stared at me .

“How’re you feeling ?” He asked

“I’ve passed out twice in one week ,how do you think I’m feeling ?”

A silent chuckle escaped his lips .

“Good to know you can still make jokes in this situation,” he said .

“What can I say ,we’re not all stoic James Bond wannabes ”

“Who ?” He asked .

“Never mind “

“I know this is a lot to take In”

“No you don’t ,you don’t know anything about me “

“Maybe ,but the mating has been done now and there’s no going back “

“This isn't fair “ I said .

“Think about it ,do you really want to go back to your old life ,where people mocked you and no one cared about you ?”

I looked up at him in clear confusion.

He continued.

“Where you’d work nine to five and still have a shitty pay with no one to come back home to “

“How do you know all of this ?”

“I know alot about you Skylar “

“No “ I said standing up “

“Relax “

“You’ve been watching me ?”

“I’ve been studying you” he said calmly

“ I’ve been on an assignment to find my mate for months “

“And what ?, you just ‘study’ me till you decide when it’s time to kidnap me ?”

“Lower your voice”

“Why ? Afraid your dear old daddy will tell you how to be a man ,or sorry I forgot ,Wolf “

“Keep your voice down Skylar ,I’m not yelling”

“Yell then ,who’s stopping you ?”

His hands went straight to his forehead as he released a sigh of frustration.

“Put yourself in my shoes ,you’re forcing marriage on me ,that too a weird society of supernatural anomalies “

“I’m done with you ,when you’re calm and ready to talk I’ll be in throne room “

“Good ,just get out !”

I don’t know what tomorrow would look like ,but one thing’s for sure I have to leave this place .

……….

The rest of the day blurred down to nothing and there was a knock on the door .

I didn’t respond but the knocking didn’t stop either .

“Come in “

I turned to see who it was and it's those same girls from yesterday.

“Did Lucien send you here ?”

“Your grace we’re here to prepare you”

“For what ?”

“For your Sealing “

“You’ve got to be kidding me ,another event ?”

One of the girls laughed .

“It’s an event for the both of you “

“What’s your name ?” I asked the blonde girl .

“It’s Kira your grace “

“And you ?”

“Anaya, your grace, “ the girl with white hair spoke .

“Were you born that way? ,I mean your hair “

“No your grace ,it changed color when I got mated “

“You’re married “I asked her .

“Yes your grace “

“My name is Skylar “

“S-K-Y-L-A-R”

I spelled it out to them in frustration.

“Prince Lucien said we shouldn’t address you by your name “

“I don’t want to do this sealing “

“It’s necessary your grace ,it’s strengthens the bond between an alpha and his Luna “

“So it’s just s*x in a fancy word ?”

None of them spoke .

“You may leave, “ I ordered them .

“But your grace …”

“Go !” I yelled .

It didn’t take long before Lucien walked in .

He moved to the dresser ,slowly taking off his shirt and I felt myself swallow a hard lump .

His biceps were huge .He took off his pants and I just couldn’t look away .

He turned around to meet my gaze and I instantly looked away .He climbed the other side of the bed .

“I’m not having s*x with you,” I said boldly .

“Great, because I don’t want to either, “ he said .

“And for the record it’s called sealing” he said .

“s*x ,you just made it fancy “

“I don’t have strength for this “

“So why did you undress in front of me ?” I asked .

“Because it’s my room”

“What is that smell ?” He asked .

“What smell ?”

He moved closer to me causing me to shift .

He tilted his head to the side.

“I don’t stink “

“No you don’t ,but that scent is definitely coming from you “

“It’s body oil, “

“It’s not that, “ he said with knitted brows .

He quickly adjusted himself .

“Get ready ,you’re meeting my parents tomorrow “

“Why ?” I asked .

“Goodnight Skylar “ he said with his back against me .

I need to leave this place .
