Five + Years Ago

Kaitlyn

I was packing to meet Michael at the airport, my driver was ready and I was never more excited, I didn't care anymore and we had planned to mark each other, finally. I had packed a simple white dress, we were going to get married so my child wouldn't be born out of wedlock or mating, whichever you choose to call it. I knew my father was going to be pissed when he found out, I was deep in thought when my driver started to slow down and pulled over to the side of the highway, my father had me followed and had men stop the car. I was shocked and I was taken out of the car and into the limo with my father, he slapped me in my face showing me my doctor's records finding out that I was pregnant with Michael's child.

He took my phone breaking it so I couldn't contact Michael, he injected me with something and I couldn't link Michael, then drove me to Troll Territory. He wanted me to have an abortion and I cried helplessly begging him not to let me do this, I told him, "I love Michael, Dad, and he loves me," he hit me again, "Shut up," he yelled, "You will not be a w***e for that imbecile and you will not bare his child." I remained silent as he looked like he wanted to kill me, I looked out the window knowing Michael would hate me for this, and my heart broke as l reached a very old cottage. I stayed there for two years away from Michael's clutches according to him, I ended up being allowed at the cottage until I had the baby, I don't know what story he told the Kingdom but he made me write a letter telling Michael I was aborting the child and I wasn't even allowed to speak on it again.

I returned to the Palace almost two years later and I never knew what happened to our daughter, she was taken away after I held her for fifteen minutes, and she had her father's eyes. I kissed her giving her my necklace, it's all I could have given her, I named her, Harper, after my mother, however, I don't know if she kept that name. The Palace was lonely without Michael, I wished I could try to reach out to him but a spell heavily monitored me my father placed on me, it also was meant to keep me from ever mentioning my daughter. As the years passed, I focused on working in the daycare, I felt close to my daughter that way, my father seemed to have dated many women because he was away from the Palace most days, but I didn't care, I just kept to myself.

He eventually told me about and pushed me to mate, Cayden, I was appalled because he had a mate and there was no way he was leaving her or seeing me in that way after Michael. He told me, "Mind your business, Kaitlyn, I am working on a plan," he left the room slamming the door behind him. My father hardly tells me anything unless he wants information and forces me to sleep with a subject to get the information he wants. Secretly, I hated him but still deep down I wanted his approval, wanted him to love me and care for me like a father should, so I always did what he said even if I didn't agree with it.

Present Day

Michael had returned home from his long trip and I couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like if we did get to mate and have our daughter, she should be about five now. I hope whoever adopts her, gives her a great life and she doesn't fall into the clutches of King Roman's lackeys, young maidens are going missing and rumor has it, he is selling them into slavery, mostly s*x slavery. They even f****d up and kidnaped a noble maiden, she was General Kolie's daughter and it almost started a war but there was no proof although he still searches for her secretly and I wondered if he will hire Michael for the job. Michael hadn't lived in the Palace in fear of running into me, so I decided to keep out of his sight at my father's request. It was the night of Aidan's ball and I was going as my father's plus one, he reminded me that Michael won't be there so I didn't need to w***e out myself and I looked at him and said, "What is a w***e without a pimp?"

He looked at me furiously before smiling and we left for the Valmore Enterprises. Later in the night, things went wrong and Valmores were not who they seemed to be, there was something odd about Alpha Ares but I couldn't quite put my finger on it, everyone knew then they were powerful and even I was intrigued. However, when we got back to the Palace news of King Cayden being in an accident spread, he was badly injured and Michael was also in the hospital. I was worried but not allowed to see him and as the weeks passed, my dad let me know that it was time to get my crown as Cayden was not mating, Lady Allison, anymore, and deep down, I knew, he had something to do with it.

Emerie

I have been with Drax since he came back and I fell in love with him, he is kind, an easy listener, pays attention to everything, is funny, sexy and so good in bed. He treats me like a Queen and is not afraid to show it, I respect him in every way, and when I learn about his past and dark secrets, I fall in love with him even more. He has been through so much with his former mates and the betrayal, I could only imagine the heartbreak and I vow never to leave his side and always be there for him. I knew I wasn't his true mate and I wished that I was, I lay next to him thinking about my actual mate, and I figured out it was Prince Michael, I didn't love him or care to be with him but deep down, I craved him and it was getting harder to fight the bond.

It was growing each day and with him being Royalty, it was intense, I started taking potions to keep him away from me but he wanted me and I was trying my best to ignore him or pretend he didn't exist. I had a feeling at the dinner all those years ago that when he passed me the salt and looked into his eyes, I just blew it off, and over the years, I wasn't sure until Michelle's wedding. It was him and now, he wants me to tell Drax, but how do I tell Drax when I don't want to leave him? Drax looked at me and I smiled before he kissed me again, he told me, "I have an early meeting but let's do lunch later," and I told him, "I will meet you at the restaurant." I was about to leave my office when I heard a knock and I was confused I had no appointments now, I walked over and it was Michael.

I swallowed and pretended I didn't know he was my mate, I invited him in, and he looked at me intensely and said, "The view is lovely." I said, "Yes, it is very calming at this height," and he smiled saying, "When are you planning to tell Drax that I am you mate?" I panicked saying, "Just leave, Michael, I don't want you, okay," I didn't mean it, my panties were soaked because the bond wanted us to mate and I backed away before he pulled me in for a kiss and I kissed back. I didn't know what to do when I felt his fingers enter my p***y slowly fingering me, I didn't feel it when he pulled my thong to the side but I didn't want him to stop either. Michael kissed my shoulder and I could feel his hard-on on my stomach, "f**k," I wanted it, I wanted him inside me so badly, I closed my eyes as he kept thrusting, feeling my orgasm rise.

My orgasm was so intense as he held me as my body shook, he whispered in my ear after biting my earlobe seductively, "Tell Drax the truth, Emerie, please, I want you, don't reject me," I looked at him torn before he walked out. I met up with Drax at the restaurant after cleaning myself up, worried that he would know about what I did, I didn't want to hurt Drax, I was so worried about him, he loved me and I loved him. Drax asked me, "Are you okay, Emerie?" I told him, "I am worried about a patient," he leaned over the table and kissed me before we ate in silence, then he took me back to the office. I hated that I lied to him as I never did before, I wanted to cry because I cheated on my boyfriend and if he found out, he could kill my mate.
