Her Royal Mate ✔️ (Royal Series #1)

Chapter 3

Lylia had been told that finding a decent mate was often difficult. She was not looking for a mate at the moment as her main focus was to earn and feed her family. Her mother trusted her enough to send her away to study further so that she could earn enough money to open a restaurant of her own.

But as soon as she had seen her mate, the desire to be possessed by him and to be with him strengthened. Just those green eyes had something in them that she couldn't take her eyes off.

She squealed loudly as those strong hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to him, she crashed into his body. She immediately clutched tightly at the fabric of his shirt and tilted her head to look at him.

The lustful look he had in his eyes was enough to make her shiver and tremble with anticipation. Her stomach did a somersault and she felt as if a wolf would come out any movement at the amount of excitement it was possessing.

"Mine" He possessively grumbled, his breath hit her neck and she felt chills down her spine at his deep raspy voice. She couldn't suppress the moan by hearing his voice. Her eyes shifted to his face and she noticed that his eyes were trained towards her neck while his nose was flaring, his chest rising and falling. She knew that it must be because he had found his Omega and his Alpha was unable to hold back.

She winced as she felt his grip tighten on her waist and he moved along with her till her back was resting against the cold surface of the wall. She let outgrown as he inched closer to her. She took a deep breath, inhaling into his scent and her insides clenched as she was hit with the smell of dark spice and sandalwood perhaps.

As her Alpha threw his head back to let out how she whined and bared him her neck as an offering to let him sink his teeth and bond her. She definitely wasn't thinking straight with the way she was anticipating for him to claim her.

She shifted on her feet impatiently as her Alpha moved his nose along her skin near the pulse to which she almost let out a giggle and arched her neck higher. She held her breath as the cold tip of his nose started nosing her neck, she whimpered as he finally jutted his tongue out and licked a thick fat stripe across her neck. As she felt the wetness across her neck she felt her belly flutter.

She closed her eyes shut as his teeth bore down on her skin, a scream ripped from her lips as he sunk his teeth in her skin. She felt her entire body tingle and she grabbed tightly at his shirt unable to stiffen her cry as his sharp teeth were still hovering over her skin. A few seconds later she felt wetness around her neck and his teeth moved away to which event as she was sure that it might be blood on her neck.

She let out a gasp as she realised that she had let her Alpha bond her and now she was his completely even though they hadn't mated yet. She tried to move shoulder but felt a staggering pain throughout her arm as if daggers were being shot at her. Then she looked at him and noticed that his eyes were hooded and he had blood around the corner of his mouth to which she forwarded her hand to wipe it off but he clutched her wrist tightly and pulled her hand away to which she looked at him with a frown on her face.

"Don't f*****g touch me" He snarled while glaring at her making the omega flinch at his voice and her eyes widened. Why was he behaving this way? Just before, he bit her and bonded her. Was this how Alphas behave that she didn't know about?

"I was just trying to wipe the blood off" She rasped meekly, her eyes fixed on his lips and not daring to look at his stormy dark eyes. She could see him shake his head at that.

"Just stay away ok this was a mistake it shouldn't have happened" He grumbled while his hand moved away from her waist and he released her wrist harshly. She couldn't believe the words that she had so she just blinked her eyes hoping that it was some sort of a sick prank but when she noticed that he was not laughing but instead staring at her with a warning glare she knew that he was serious.

But they were mates. Why was he telling her to stay away? She didn't understand so she scrunched her nose and tilted her had to question him, "But why? We are mates. You just bonded me."

"Stop that bull s**t right now. it was just heat of the movement and nothing more. I don't believe in mates." He furiously whispered while tagging at his locks and she felt mesmerized to see the way few strands were falling on his forehead to which he furiously huffed. She was not trying to be sappy but he had to be the most handsome Alpha she had never come across and to think that he didn't want her to be his omega deeply hurt her and she felt her wolf cry at that.

"But you were the one who..." Before she could complete the sentence he gripped tightly at her cheeks and pulled her face closer to him to which she felt her breath hitch in the throat. She wanted to kick him because of the way his fingers while digging into her skin which she was sure would leave marks later on. Her skin was a bit sensitive that way.

"You hear my omega. And I'll repeat it only once. We are not mates. If you open your mouth to anyone about this..." He laughed while shaking his head with the most sinister small playing at the corner of his lips she had ever seen on someone. That dark laughter caused goosebumps to rise on her arms and she felt hot fury in her stomach looking at his face.

"Well let's just say you would definitely not love the outcomes. Do you get it? Shut your mouth and will be fine and continue our lives the way they were before. Yeah?" He said while emphasizing on the last question and pulling her closer, till there was only enough space to let the air pass between them.

She was unable to reply anything because she couldn't fathom whatever her Alpha was saying that the moment her omega felt like it was being pricked with something sharp and she felt the same way as if someone was cruelly taking something very dear to her and it had not even been a day since she met him but the biology of Alpha and Omega, especially in mates, it is very deeper and it effects easily. She didn't let tears flow down her eyes because she didn't want to humiliate herself further.

She like everyone else thought of meeting her Alpha after she completed her education or well before but he would be someone understanding and someone who would support her and take care of her and accept her family the way it is. She almost wanted to laugh at her innocent self believing that someone would actually take her as the way she is and accept her as the way she is. She noticed that the breathing sounds were the only thing that was going around the hallways and her Alpha was looking patiently at her as if waiting for her answer. She just nodded her head instead of giving him a verbal answer and tried to move her face away from his tight grip but was unsuccessful.

"Aren't you a doll? Good omega" He praised and released her from his tight grip. She winced but her omega purred at the soft tone of her Alpha praising her.

"Hope to never see you again" He spat with a sweet smile on his face and then walked away. He mingled somewhere as she stood there on the same spot, frozen and unable to think about anything else but the faint smell of her Alpha and looked at his retreating back, thinking if he would ever come back.

***

After that incident in the hallway, Lylia never saw him again at the party maybe because she was avoiding to serve drinks or he was just good at hiding. Either way, it worked for her as they decided, more like as he ordered to never confront each other. She was still processing the entire night's event unable to see why it was happening to her.

Thankfully the party ended rather quickly than she thought. And after grabbing a quick dinner on the way she and her other omegas left the venue. She was actually very tired and just wanted to go back and lay down on a bed and forget about everything else that happened to her.

She didn't tell her best friend anything because she was ashamed to even recall the incident. She wanted to curse herself for not asking him to break the bond there itself.

It would have been a lot easier to move on thinking that is Alpha found someone else but now that she wore his bond mark it was a reminder that she still had an Alpha who didn't want her.

"Good night Li. Sleep tight" Her roommate and the best friend replied while walking towards her bed and plopped down. Lylia just tries to close her eyes and not think about those moss green eyes and his perfect pink lips and his jawline and those messy strands and how he was strong and muscular and looked delectable in that outfit.

She tossed around in a bed trying to distract her head away from those thoughts for the moon's sake shouldn't even know his name and she was already thinking so much about him.

Just then a thought popped into her mind. What would his name even be? One thing was sure that he was definitely a noble person because she knew the party consisted of all these noble people.

"Ugh, why can't I stop thinking about him?" She frustratedly muffled into her pillow and then tried to shift her body towards the wall and took a deep breath hoping that finally, she would fall asleep.

After a few seconds of just closing your eyes and seeing nothing but pitch black she gave up and let out a most annoying sound. As she was about to get up from her bed she felt a sharp shooting pain in her abdomen which intensified so much that a scream tore from her lips.
