Fated to A Monster

Chapter 9: The Next Day

I was so warm, and my eyes weren't ready to open. I felt so drained. I could feel my head pounding, and my body felt so stiff as I started to change positions, trying to get more comfortable. I couldn't move far. Something was holding on to me tightly. I felt around, touching the naked flesh of my mate. I realized he was holding me against his chest. I was held tightly in his arms. I tried to free myself from his grasp, but his hold only tightened. I wanted so much to be free from his grip, but I wasn't ready to wake. I was so drained. Henry had his way with me till the earlier hours of the morning, taking pleasure from every part of my naked body. I remember the way he touched me, he was gentle at first, but he couldn't stop himself after a while. I lost count of how many times he filled my womb with his seed. I felt like it would never end. I needed to make sure I got something from my maid. I was convinced that if I didn't take measures that I would soon fall pregnant. That was the last thing I wanted. I had no choice in mating with him last night, but I would have a choice in this. I was not about to give him what he wanted. I would make sure that I would never give him a child. 

I will never forgive him or Mother for what they did to me last night. I was forced into mating with Henry. I was forced into letting him take pleasure from my body, and now that we are fully mated, I can't even use my magic on him.  That was a cruel joke from the Gods, one that made sure that my sister's mate killed her. She couldn't protect herself, and either can I. I didn't care if it was cruel, and it didn't care if it hurt our bond. I will never give him a child.

I tried so hard to fall back asleep, but he was still touching me, his arms tightly around my nude body. I wouldn't say I like it, and I wouldn't say I like his touch. The more I moved around, the tighter his grasp became, and when I tried to untangle my legs from his, I noticed it. I noticed he was still inside me. I can't believe it, Henry and I have been sleeping together for hours, and the whole time, his member was still inside of me. I stopped trying to free myself. If I keep moving around like this, he might get in the mood to mate again. I can't have that I can't mate with him again. I need to avoid it at all costs. We had mated so many times last night, and that was enough for a lifetime. I know really I can't wholly avoid mating him, but I can limit the times. Once in a while, but not every day. The less, the better. 

It's not like I didn't enjoy the mating; it was shockingly pleasurable. I have a feeling that with the right lover that I would really enjoy the act. Not that my mate would ever let me have a lover. Alpha's tend to be really over-protective of their mates. They wouldn't allow anyone else to touch them. It's sad to think that I will never be able to enjoy the pleasure that everyone else does. It wouldn't be the end of things. Just something that I will have to live with. 

Once my mate wakes up, my new life will begin. I'm still a princess, but now I am also a Luna and a future Queen. My duties have changed, and that will make avoiding my mate easier. Tending to the responsibilities of not just my people but his people will keep us distant. That will be my protection, and I will burden myself with everything I can and keep a distant relationship with my mate. I will not tend to his needs, and I hope that he will take a lover. Once that happens, I will do everything in my power to make sure that mistress gives him a child so that I will never have to. Once he has an heir, I can ultimately push him aside. 

The other option is to fake my death. This wouldn't be too difficult, as I've helped others do this before—my maids and servants who wished to leave my mother's service for one reason or another. I could do the same and leave this place forever. It would mean leaving my family behind and my title and position, but I would be free to travel the world. I would be free to study magic all across the globe. That had been my dream since I was a child. Their only so much you can learn here. There is magic to be learned everywhere you go—masters in ancient studies that you can't know here. I want to learn it all. I want to understand magic like no witch before. This is my dream, and I want it to come true. I want this life, and I will not let some mate hold me back. 

So the plan is to do both. I will work towards both programs; that way, I will leave my mate with someone else. If he finds out that I'm alive, he will be too focused on his lover and child even to care. I will be free from all of this, and I will be happy. 

"Princess," I heard Henry's voice call breaking me from my thoughts, causing me to nearly jump. I looked up at his face to see him smiling down at me. I could see the tiredness on his face.

"Good morning, beautiful mate," He said, in a low voice, almost a whisper. I said nothing and just looked at him as he rubbed his face and eyes before returned his hand around me. As soon as his hand made contact with my bareback, I shivered. I shivered even more when his hand started to rub my back gently, sweeping across it lovingly. 

"How are you feeling?" Henry asked, letting out a loud yawn. I wasn't sure what to say. I took a deep breath. 

"I'm sore and like I need a bath," I said, looking away from his chest and at the wall. 

"I could use a bath too. Let us take one together, then get some to eat. You must be starving." Henry said, my cheeks turned red. He wants to take a bath with me. He is going to try to mate while we are in the bath together, I know it. He was trying to impregnate that for sure. 

"I.... want to bathe al..one," I said quickly. 

"I want to take a bath with you. We already mated, and I have seen everything. There is no reason for us not to bathe together," Henry said, pulling me closer. 

"I still would like my privately; we might be mates, but.. we don't have to spend every second together," I said boldly, searching his face; he looked annoyed at my response.

"We just mated; my wolf wants to be close to you. Besides, I won't be leaving your side till you are pregnant," Henry said, placing his hand on my chin and leaning in, kissing my lips deeply. I knew it; I knew this was his plan. I wasn't surprised one bit; he wanted an heir.

"We will have an heir soon as possible," Henry said, using his weight to push me down and position himself on top of me. I did have the chance to respond before his lips were on mine again. He wasn't allowing me the opportunity to protest before he started moving his erected member, thrusting into my sore core. It didn't hurt; it was just uncomfortable. His kiss became erratic; his hands explored my naked breasts. He twisted my n*****s under his fingertips, and I let out a moan against his lips. He used the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth and explore it. The longer we kissed, the less uncomfortable it became. I could feel the wetness grow with each thrust. The feeling of pleasure from the other night returned. I was letting out deep moans against Henry's lips. He kept torturing my breasts, kneading them while twisting n*****s. He seemed pleased with the noises I was making and started thrusting faster and faster, bringing me over the edge. I knew there was no point in resisting him; we had already mated, and I had already been marked. I would let him take this pleasure from my body, and I would take pleasure from him. Things could not be like this forever; I just need to avoid pregnancy till I could enact my plan and leave this place. That was the first thing I need to do.
