Chapter 1 - How Low Are You Willing to Go?
***Jessica’s POV***
I banged on Amber’s door like my life depended on it, and it almost did. I felt like my heart was being torn from my chest slowly while it was on fire. The sound of rushed footsteps fell upon my ears before the door swung open, and a worried Amber appeared.”“I can tell he’s ready to be intimate with someone. I’m begging you, please tell me how to reject him? I can’t continue on with this pain!”
~ 3 months later~
I don’t know how much time has passed. Maybe three months and some change, but who’s counting?
“Obviously, you are.” My lycan spoke to me for the first time in I don’t know how long. Ever since our mate's infidelity started, she’s been hiding away. It’s at the point that I struggle to shift on the rare occasions that I do. She has been hurt so much by his infidelity. Although we never marked each other, our beasts have bonded on a deep level. Every single time I feel him touching another person intimately, the pain in my chest starts, and it gradually gets worse. Sadly, I’ve grown used to it. But through searching on the internet, I’ve found other lycans. Although I can’t trust that they’re really lycans, I don’t know why, but I feel like I can trust them. So, I plan on meeting up with them. It crossed my mind to bring some form of backup with me. But, I was honestly embarrassed by the fact that my mate, who was supposed to love me unconditionally, was f*cking someone else. My lycan and I couldn’t handle the pain. At some point, she went into the deepest part of my mind. It was the only way to save her. People don’t know, but with lycans, a cheating mate can/will kill our beasts. At this point, I don’t know how many times I’ve cried myself or my lycan to sleep. Every fiber of my being wants to hate him, but I can’t bring my heart to. On a daily basis, I begged the moon goddess to remove any form of attachment to him, but it’s almost like each time it gets stronger. It doesn’t matter if I have royal blood or am a lycan.
I can still be a victim of the mate bond, which I am. At first, I tried to follow him but soon realized the troubles in it, especially when we aren’t mated and marked. I don’t know what the h*ll I was thinking! I should’ve let him claim me before he left, but my hard-headed a*s didn’t let him. Now I knew why my lycan was warning me to mark her. I don't know why, but something told me to not let him mark me yet. I have absolutely no idea how to get to him, yet I left the house at the a*s crack of dawn.
***Ivan’s POV***
“I don’t know what you want from me, but if you want it so badly, have s*x with me, and I’ll give it to you.” She said it in a sultry tone, or at least tried. But to me, it sounded cringeworthy.
I almost threw up at the idea of having s*x with her. I’d rather drag my balls across broken glass and hot coals with a rusty pipe up my a*s. Turning my back, I started to walk away, but she grabbed onto my arm.
“Wait! Please don’t go! It’s been so long since someone has been able to pleasure me the way you did.” Her attempt at sounding sexy failed. It disgusted me as much as seeing your grandmother naked would. Roughly, I tore my arm from her grasp and let my wings spring out from my back.
“Wait! Ivan! I’ll help you! Please don’t go!” The desperation was evident in her voice, and something I’ve learned the hard way was that you don’t trust witches.
“I’m good. Plus, I miss my mate, and her p*ssy is the only one I want to be balls deep in.” As soon as I finished my sentence, my wings sprouted from my back, and I took off into the sky with the only thought of seeing my mate. Suddenly, a strange mist was blown by the wind into my face. Before I knew it, I was crashing down from the sky. The closer I got to the ground, the more it looked like I was looking into a kaleidoscope before everything went black.
***Katie (Ivan’s ex and the witch)***
I’m genuinely shocked that the spell worked on him. He and I were together for some time, and he became immune to my magic at one point. The only thing is now I have to keep casting the spell on him if I want to keep him under my control. As long as I have him under my control, that unknown a*shole should keep up his end of the deal.
