Chapter 22: Forced Mating

(s****l Content)

Over a Week Later

Clarke/Zion

I woke up in cold sweats again, my wife's execution was haunting me, I jumped out the window when Zion took over and said, "You are still weak, Clarke, you let them kill her and we don't deserve nice things, just let's leave and never come back, our parents can raise the kids, we are nothing without Dale, let's join her." I snapped out of it and saw the dead animals I had shredded, I saw a girl by the lake and I felt rage, I wanted to kill her but she ran off and I went home. I took a shower wondering what I was doing, my memory has holes when I run, but I would never hurt an innocent. I came out of the shower and saw Vicki in my bed, she slept over and I smiled, my d**k hardened again and I woke her up, she did not waste any time in pleasing me. "Mmmm, Fuckkk, Vicki," I was laying back as Vicki rode my c**k, she threw her head back as she moved her waist to the music in the background.

My kids were still asleep and I wanted to start the day early, I would be having guests later, I flipped her and sucked on her breast before she moaned and I thrust back into her hard, I looked at her seeing my wife and I pounded harder, I missed her so much. My bear had been silent since I got my heart ripped out again and we are finished with bonds, I am glad I made the deal with Chloe years ago. I don't have much time, maybe a week tops before I start going feral. I will head into the mountains at her old cabin away from people and Kit will take over as Mayor, I should have begged for her life, let her go to prison, or be banished so we could be together. I heard the bed creek and I looked into her eyes as she tried to keep her moans down like I requested, I thrust in and out of her faster, my release was approaching and I held her waist in place as the sound of skin slapping in the room echoed.

Our sweaty bodies collided and I pictured Lark, I closed my eyes growling hating the b***h and I moaned, "f**k," two more hard thrusts releasing my seed. I dropped on the side of the bed catching my breath after pulling out of her as Vicki's body shook from her orgasm, I got up leaving the money on the counter but told her, "Stay, I might need you later," She smiled before we took a shower together. It was a hot shower as I f****d her again pounding her from behind, she could take it and it was what I needed right now. I check on my babies who are still asleep all three of them, I smile seeing my wife's face in them, they remind me of her, I named our daughter after her, Dale, her brother's name is, Dwain. I sat on the chair in the room hearing my babies softly sleeping remembering that dreadful day.

Flashback

My brother and sister showed up and I refused to look at them, my Beta, Kit, felt my sorrow but remained silent. Elena slapped her mother in her face for causing her pain for so long and T.J was standing like a statue, no one else had anything to say to her as Edward walked away to go for his son, another thing I will lose but at least, I have my sons and daughter. I thought they both would have been boys, Toffe took out his gun instead and gave it to Elena, she pointed it at her mother's head and said, "Kneel, you bitch." She knelt and Bella-Donna linked me and said," I am so sorry, I do love you, please raise our kids to be better than I ever was," then I heard the shot. It wasn't Elena who pulled the trigger, it was T.J. who shot her in the back of the head and when she fell to the ground, he shot her two more times in the chest and walked away.

Present Day

After breakfast Vicki left to go shopping I had one of my men take her, and I went to check on my babies, and the nanny had just changed and fed them. I smiled at their bubbly faces, my wife did well remembering her smile, I heard the doorbell and I went down to let them in, I said, "No teleporting," before Aidan and Toffe walked in with Toffe's kids and I told them they could go to the pool. I offered coffee as I didn't have a blood bag and Toffe smiled saying, "We fed already," I asked, "So, what is so important?" Snapping at him, I closed my eyes and apologized, I was losing control, it had begun. That's why, I left for most of the day and my parents will collect the kids as soon as possible, Sheila teleported with my brother, Lark, Ty, and Chloe, I got up and asked, "What is this?"

Seeing Lark infuriated me but I held my anger back, it was bad enough Barron being here but his mistress too, I don't trust them because they lie all the time. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Aidan said, "Sit, Clarke," I sat down, my heart rate picked up and I asked again, "What's this?" Aidan said, "We know about the spell and the fail-safe so Larkina here is willing to mark you to keep you sane," I said, "Over my dead body, she can go back into the hole she crawled out of," I looked at my brother, I hated him. Drax walked in, "We could put you down if you request it instead, but your kids need you," I said, "Put me next to wife, I rather die than be marked by that w***e," looking at Larkina in disgust.

My eyes clouded with water, Toffe said, "You do understand why we let it happen, she was a criminal and I am sorry she tricked you into loving her," I snapped, "I don't care, you didn't see the person she was, to me, she loved me when no one else cared," looking at my brother and then Larkina. I tried holding back everything but I was at my wits end with this, I was trying not to be rude to the Supremes because they would kill me but then I thought, "Maybe, I do need to die, my family hated me," looking at Barron, I never got over the betrayal, the constant pain over the years and every time I find happiness, it's ripped away from me. I believe I was cursed somehow, Barron did this, I need to leave, I wanted to go before I do something stupid again.

I was fighting my bear to remain calm, so I could get these people to leave my house and Aidan placed a spell on me to stay in place and said, "You need to listen." I listened to my brother trying to explain what had happened years ago and I zoned out closing my eyes and thinking about my wife, I was not willing to hear his lies. My bear started growling at Lark when I heard Toffe say, "Plan B it is," I was confused before I ran toward Lark and she changed to her bear breaking the fall. Everyone stood back as we started fighting in the driveway, she was hurt and Barron jumped in front of me blocking her and I said, "Always willing to protect your w***e, I see."

Barron linked me back, "It's me you are angry at, not her, I am sorry, Clarke, it was the Elders and I didn't know that you two were mates at the time." I charged at him, I was blinded in rage and I didn't realize this was a setup until I felt Lark mark me, she did it so fast that I didn't see her until it was too late. She had jumped in my neck marking me to the bone, this forced my bear to mark her back, I couldn't stop him, I changed back and held my neck in disbelief, I backed away feeling her regret at everything. I saw Lark holding her neck, I saw my parents drive up and my father asked, "What did we miss, now?" He saw everyone standing around and my damaged truck from when Lark hit it.

I walked back inside and Aidan linked me, "This was for your own good," I turned around and bowed saying, "Thank you," sarcastically before heading for my room. I walked into the bathroom and saw the mark, I was so angry that I hit the glass in my anger, breaking it, I had promised my wife that no one would ever mark me or I would mark them, it was forever and I broke that promise. I will find a way to remove this mark because, with Royal Bears, we can't reject each other once it's to the bone. When Dale died, I should have gone with her but I guess fate had other plans and I intend to change it, I will never stay mated to that cheap w***e.

Later that afternoon, I watched my parents play with my babies, they were happy to see their grandkids, and they gave me their condolences about my wife. The pack congratulated me, feeling a Luna but I put on a smile and accepted the well wishes, I had to pretend around them that everything was okay when I wanted to run free forever until someone put me down. I wanted to be with Bella and I decided to visit her grave, I turned to leave when I saw Lark, she smiled at me and I looked away, I never hated someone so much in my life besides my brother. My brother was blood so I could ignore him but now she was my forced mate and I wanted to be away from her at every turn.

I saw Vicki reach back, I smiled and walked up to her planting a kiss on her, Lark held her chest and I smirked, I was holding Vicki's hand, and my father asked, "What are you doing? This will cause her pain." I said, "Good, now she will know how it feels tenfold," I walked upstairs hoping she felt everything for going along with this ridiculous plan. After about thirty minutes, I came downstairs and saw Larkina crying, the others had left her to privacy and I asked, "What are you still doing here?" She said, "We need to talk and you will listen," I said, "No, I don't, what we had, never was, you can talk to my brother, I don't give a f**k, Lark, why did you even come back here?"

She said, "Because it's my home and we are still mates despite everything," I said, "We were never mates, we shared a bond because my mate would have never chosen my brother over the mate bond, then now you are sorry, and for what? He still didn't mate you, you were just his w***e," she slapped me saying, "I had to, don't you understand," I said, "Well, I have to f**k Vicki now, do you understand," before I walked out slamming the door behind me. This is why I chose to be alone, away from Bearmore living on my terms, away from my past and now it has caught up to me. I saw Toffe talking to his mate who had returned, I just wanted my wife so I changed into my bear and headed there.

Larkina

I didn't want to do this at first but it would save my mate from the doom, he set upon himself because of me, because of what I did to him so many years ago. I have regrets but it was beyond my control, I wish I had told the truth when Barron asked me about being mated but I was in love and stupid and figured it would blow over eventually. The Elders wanted us together after what happened with Sophie and they all voted for me to stay with Barron, they were banking on me getting marked to break the bond. Unfortunately, it didn't go the way they wanted and Barron chose his mate instead eventually, Clarence had already lost me for years, so I settled with a great guy who treated me well until he found his mate.

When I came home, I knew I would run into Clarence someday but not like this, I had to mark him to save him and one day, I hope he forgives me and gives us a chance. Later that afternoon when everything settled down, I watched Clark run off to visit his dead wife, I could feel he still loves her through our bond and he hates me, he hates his brother and hates living without her. How do I compete with that? But as my bear Sasha says, "We try," we know it won't be easy but I will win his heart. I turned to see this woman in his house and I would have to get rid of her somehow, I left to check on my kids, the bond would be stronger and I would have to move in with him, he is a Royal and we will need to mate or it will hurt us to the point of madness.
