book #2 Ice Queen: the snow dragon shifter ***completed***

#17 Matteo

He watched from afar as Liam and Scarlett ran towards the castle playfully with each other. He knew willow wouldn't be happy about them completing the mate bond. it was noticeable that both Liam and Scarlett had changed since the bond was now complete. he wasn't sure if he was even going to tell her. part of Matteo wished he would be enough for willow but her loyalty to finish what her mother wanted drove her and she couldn't stop. Liam had become like a drug to her and she couldn't stop her addiction even if she wanted too. Matteo felt sadness that even he was not giving her that pleasure. she had a string of men that came in and out of her room or office whenever she felt the need to release herself and her stress. he was her mate. her fated mate and it killed him to have to watch this all the time. he should be the one to please her and fulfill her desires, but she showed no interest in him doing so. Matteo hated spying on his kingdom for her. he was trying to prove his loyalty to her with every deception, but she kept pushing him further and further away. it was driving him insane.

now she wanted blood suckers to help her and so far the only way they have agreed to help was only if they can feed from her blood. witches blood. it would give them a temporary high and power. it made his skin crawl. the intimacy of allowing them to do it was killing him and turning his stomach. for a vampire it was the equivalent of s*x and the immense pleasure they get from it made him want to vomit. worse was when he told her about it she actually said she would think about it. she was thinking about having two blood suckers feed from her as they touched her body with their vile cold flesh. it made him sick to think about it. to think about them on top of her and doing things to her as they got off on it. it was almost too much for him. he still couldn't deny her what she wanted. the mate bond drew him to her even when he tried to fight it. he didn't give up hope that he could change her mind. he hoped some day he could be enough for her.

she had told him to observe Scarlett and see her moves at training and to study her so they could factor anything into the plan. he decided befriending her was the best idea so he could get close without suspicion. he noticed that Liam didn't like him. he could feel Liam distrusted him. he knew he needed to get on Liams good side and make sure to win even his trust over. he would do whatever willow wanted. no matter how hard he tried to fight it he couldn't. he loved her. he was able to sneak away to see her and he was making his way to her hide out deep into the forest. he could hear her screaming out no doubt being pleasured by one of the servants. his heart felt heavy as he entered the house he could smell her arousal and something just snapped inside of him. he was filled with rage as he stomped towards the bedroom. he could hear her in there as she was being pounded into by another man. well f**k it. if she wanted it rough he would give it to her how she wanted it. he burst through the door as Bartholomew looked up in surprise. she looked over to the door and her wrists were tied to the bed with silk scarfs. Matteo launched at Bartholomew ripping his head off his body and pushing his body off of her. she was his and he was claiming her even if she was goingnto be angry about it. " Matteo! what the f**k are you...." he slapped her across the face leaving a mark and stopping her from speaking any further. a drop of blood dripped from her busted lip.

he climbed on top of her naked body and pulled her hair back gripping it tightly. he entered her roughly thrusting deep into her filling her with everything he had. he growled at her as he went deeper and harder and kept her neck exposed to him. " you... are... mine!" he growled. her eyes were closed before she even realized what he was doing. she felt the pleasure of his canines scrape across her marking spot. he growled out to her one last time before he released his seed deep into her. " MINE!" with that he felt his body jerk with pleasure and he sank his teeth deep inside her making her his. she screamed out feeling the deep pleasure and pain that coursed through her body riding an orgasm like she had never had before.

once it was over and her mind became clearer she realize what Matteo had just done. he had marked her and claimed her. " Matteo! what have you done?" he no longer cared. she could hate him for it but she was now his even if she wouldn't mark him back she belonged to him now. she could no longer take Liam as her mate. she had to submit to him as he claimed her as his. if she wanted to claim anyone else she would have to kill him first. he didn't care because watching her all this time was slowly killing him anyways. at least if she killed him it would be quick and painless compared to the torture he had been living.

he slipped himself out of her and smiled at her. " you are mine. no one else's. it is me you should want and me you should have f*****g you. no one else!" he got up grabbing his clothes and pulling them on he walked out of the room leaving her tied to the bed and Bartholomews dead body on her floor. he knew what he had done was wrong. he felt guilt rise up through his body. he couldn't control himself any longer. having her as a mate was torture and killing him every time she was with someone else. his beast took over not allowing himself to stop. he could feel her anger through their bond. he could hear her yelling at him as he walked out of the house leaving her there tied up. he needed to run. he needed to let his beast out. he couldn't stay there any longer he was suffocating. what had he done? he had done something he never thought he would do. forced himself on his mate and forced her to mate him and he marked her. he actually hoped she would kill him now. he didn't like who he had become. he didn't like who she had created in him. he felt himself growing darker and colder. he wasn't even sure if there was good in him anymore. she created a monster and he wasn't sure he could stop. he shifted into his wolf and ran not once looking back. he ran for hours until he could no longer feel. he was numb. he decided it was time to go back and face the consequences. he would take whatever was coming to him. he knew he deserved it. he took away her choice. even though that's what she wanted to do to Liam he never wanted to do that to her. by the time he made it back to the hideout the sun was beginning to come up. he pushed the front door open and looked around. no one had come yet. he made his way up to the bedroom and peered inside the doorway at his now marked mate sleeping. her hands were still tied tightly with silk scarves to the bed and she still lay naked across it. his mark had already healed and a wolf with a crescent moon had taken the place of the bite marks. the dead headless body of Bartholomew still lay on the floor.

he made his way to the bed and climbed on top of her naked body. he never bothered getting dressed after shifting back to his human form. she stirred awake as she felt him kissing down her neck to the spot he had marked on her. he bit at it and sucked on it causing the tingling sensation to rage through both of their bodies. she moaned as her eyes fluttered open looking straight at him. " willow, I'm going to make love to you this time. afterwards you can either mark me or kill me your choice. I'm not going to make it rough this time I'm showing you how much I love you. " he felt her core grow wet and her arousal became so thick it was suffocating him.

" untie me so I can make love to you." her voice was soft and gentle. but he knew she could not be trusted. she woukd kill him that he was sure of. he untied her as he slipped himself inside her wet core. he kept his head on her marking spot as he sucked and nipped at it with every thrust. if this was the last time, he was going to make sure she felt every bit of it. he could feel her body react to him and his every movement. her juices were dripping all over him making it easier for him to slide in and out. he could feel her body tense as her walls clamped down on him and then she was screaming. she screamed out his name in ecstasy and pure pleasure. " MATTEO!" she released on him, her juices flowing out like a broken damn. he continued to thrust in and out slowly and deeper each time until he felt himself stiffen and cry out her name in sweet pleasure.

it was everything he ever wanted. he wanted her and wanted to make love to her. " WILLOW!! he clenched his jaw as he felt himself go. they both were panting as he slumped down on her body sweat dripping down both of their faces and bodies. " I love you willow." he gave her one last sweet kiss as he felt the silver tip of a dagger piercing his skin and sinking into his back. he felt the tip hit his heart. She had gotten out of the restraints. she had chosen. He smiled down at her as it registereed what she had done. She did not know it but she had finally released him. She set him free in that moment.

she left the dagger in as she cupped his face. she whispered to him as he slowly died in her arms. " I love you too Matteo." then he was gone. She felt him leave as his soul was now free from his Earthly body. She lay there briefly calming herself before pushing him off her and moving off the bed to shower.
