Henry:
I sat in the bath with my mate. I wanted to take her in the bath. I wanted to touch more and more. I could tell she was exhausted from last night. I had marked and mated her. I would let my mate relax for a moment. I would take her later today. I had her this morning. I did my duty of filling her womb with my seed as soon as we woke. I had filled her with my seed many times last night as well. She took it so well. I had spent the night sleeping inside of her, something I plan on doing even night for the rest of our lives. She was mine now, and all that was left was to impregnate her. I would mate with her every day till she was with child. An heir was needed to take what was mine. The throne would only be given when she was carrying my child, so that must happen as soon as possible. It was time for my father to retire to enjoy himself while I took over the Kingdom and made the changes I desired for so long. I want to make my mate a Queen and give her many children to look after. I was lucky to have a witch for a mate, and she would be able to bear many children for the royal family. She would easily be impregnated like her mother. I just hope that she doesn't try to do anything to prevent herself from having my children. I would have to watch her closely. I knew that I need to make sure that she was carrying my child soon. I would need to see that personal maid of hers. If anyone helped my mate not carry a child, it would be her.
"Henry," Asteria said, her voice breaking me from my thoughts.
"Yes, my love," I responded.
"I'm sorry for everything, and I should never have hidden from you for so long. I was afraid you would be like my sister's mate. I was afraid you hurt me," Asteria said. Her words made me feel heartache. She was afraid of me, so she hid from me for years. I understood that.
"I understand, my love. You were afraid. I just wished that you would have talked to me. I could have set your mind at ease. I will never hurt you. I will love and care for all the days of our lives. I will care for our children too, and they will never want for anything," I said, pulling her closer and kissing the top of her beautiful head.
"I don't know if I am ready to be a mother yet. I know you need an heir, but I don't know if I am ready for that. My mother has so many children, and she never has time to raise us. I don't want the same for myself. I want a few children with who I can share time and love. Also, we just got together, and I want to know you," Asteria said, turning to look at me before leaning to my lips and kissing me sweetly.
"Oh, princess, we have our whole lives to know each other. I know motherhood isn't something you feel ready for but, I need an heir. Will you please give me one?" I asked, holding her close.
"I don't feel ready," Asteria said, looking into my eyes. I knew she would feel this way. I can't wait for an heir, and she knows that. She was the one who hid from me for so long, and she owes me a child. I will not wait for one any longer.
"I'm sorry, princess. I can't wait for an heir any longer. I know it will be hard. But think of it as a way to strengthen our bond after hiding for me for so long," I said, looking into her eyes. A tear fell from her cheek, and she burdened herself into my chest.
"I understand. I will do my best to give you an heir," She said, sobbing into my chest. I didn't understand why she was crying. I wasn't sure if it was because she wasn't feeling ready and had agreed to anyway. Or if something else was bothering her.
"Why are you crying, my love?" I asked, taking her face into my hands and looking into her tear-filled eyes.
"I don't know if I can carry your children. I took wolfsbane for years. It might have ruined my womb for your seed," Asteria said, letting out a sob. She took wolfsbane for years. I couldn't believe it; how could she do that knowing that I was her mate. I know that wolfsbane couldn't affect her womb like that. I knew that she could still have my children. Did she think that she couldn't? This could work. If she thinks she can't carry my child, she will not worry about doing so. I could make her believe that I was worried for her and use it to ensure she was safe from carrying my child.
"How could you do that? You poisoned your womb so you couldn't carry my child," I yelled, pushing her away from my arms. She looked shocked and quickly climbed from the tub, pulling a towel around herself. I know I said I would never make her afraid, but I wanted her to understand my anger. I could lose my Kingdom without an heir.
"Where do you think you are going? I'm calling a doctor, and they are going to do an exam on you. We need to know if you ruined your womb are not," I yelled, standing up from the tub and rushing to the door.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," she sobbed into her hands.
"I can't believe you, and I don't know if I can trust you after this. You are under house arrest for using birth control, you are not permitted to leave this room for any purpose, and only my servants can assist you," I said, pulling and towel around myself and leaving the room. I could hear sobbing in the bathroom while I quickly dressed and left to summon an imperial doctor. I hate leaving her there, and she did something stupid. Did she really think that she could destroy her womb that way? I would have an heir, and I didn't care if she wanted a child right now. She had done so much to hide from me. She even to prevent having my child. I just wanted to love her and give her everything she could need or want. All I wanted was one child from her. I needed that child to take my place as ruler of this Kingdom, and she was trying to take that from me.
I summoned the imperial doctor and told him what happened. He agreed that the wolfsbane did not harm her womb and that she would have no problem having my children. He thought that some witches believed it could work as a form of birth control, but it didn't prevent pregnancy. It only made them miscarriage if they took it while carrying a child. I told him to tell her something different. I wanted her to believe that it would be hard for her to be impregnated by me. I wanted her to think that she couldn't carry my child so she won't try to prevent herself from carrying my child.
When we went back to my chambers, and we saw her crying on the bed. She had dressed in a nightgown. I hate seeing my mate crying like that. I wanted to hold her and make her tears stop, but I needed her to believe my anger was real. The doctor gave her the news that I told him to say. I wanted her to believe it would be hard for her to have my child.
"We will provide you medicine to get that wolfsbane out of your system. I will also provide you something to assist you in having a child. It might take time and some mating, but you can still have his child," the doctor said, preparing the medicines before giving them to my mate. We had talked about the medicines beforehand, and they were both medicines to help her have a child. They were both strong and would lead to a quick pregnancy.
"I will come to see you every day and provide you with this medicine. You must mate every day, till we know what you are with child. After that, you will need to mate once a day as a way to make the pregnancy stable," the doctor said to us. My mate had no word for him. I could tell that she was in shock and didn't know how to deal with what was happening to her.
"You are lucky, and you could have ruined this Kingdom. Without an heir, your mate would never be King, and his father would have to pass the crown to another. We will make sure that doesn't happen. You will have his child in time," the doctor said before taking his leave.
"I can't believe you," I said, sitting down on the bed facing away from my mate.
"I'm sorry, I regret everything. I will try my best to have your child," Asteria said. I could hear the pain in her voice. I turned to look at her and saw tears in her eyes.
"Strip," I said coldly. She looked at me in shock. I was demanding things from her now because I knew that I need to. She was unwilling to give me a child, so I must make her do so. I didn't want to hurt like this, but she didn't give me much choice in the matter. This is what happens when you do the things she did. She took wolfsbane to destroy her womb, she hid from me for years, and during that time, she treated me like dirt. I was going to punish her for these things. I was going to break her down and make sure she never leaves my side.
"You heard me strip, or I will strip you," I said again while moving closer to her. She didn't move away from me, but she didn't listen to me either. I leaned over and ripped the gown from her body, ripping the gown to shreds. I leaned to her lips and kissed her with force. She kissed me back, and soon our lips were dancing together. I reached for her breasts, and I felt her n*****s were already hard. She wanted me, after all. I was sure the mate bond was the thing that was doing this to her. I didn't care either way. I kissed her hard, twisting her n*****s under my fingertips. She moaned, and I slipped my tongue into her mouth with force. I could smell her wetness. I f*****g love that scent. I reached down and parted her legs before thrusting two fingers into her. I kept kissing her and kneading her other breast while I pumped my fingers roughly in and out of her p***y. She became undone, quickly, and soaked my fingers with her c*m.
"I'm going to f**k you all day, and I'm going to empty my seed into your womb over and over again. They when you pass out, I won't stop. You will wake up, and I will still be f*****g you," I said, positioning myself at her entrance and thrusting into her. She said nothing, and she knew that she had f****d up. I wasn't going to go easy on her. I would keep my promise, and I f****d her over and over again till she couldn't take it any longer and blacked out. I keep going. I was going to make sure that she was pregnant. I couldn't stop, and I won't stop. She was mine, and I was going to make her give me my child. I didn't care if she wanted to be a mother or not. I need a child, and I would have one if not for her mistakes. I kept my promise, and when she finally woke up, I was still f*****g her. She said nothing, and I kept going. I wasn't going to be done any time soon, and she knew that. My wolf was pissed. How could she do this to us? We just wanted to love her. We just wanted to take care of her, and she f*****g hid from me.
I knew this might hurt our bond, but she did that herself, and now she was paying for it. I wouldn't let this go till our child was in my arms. I will focus on only that for now. I need to make an heir, and the mate bond was the last thing I cared about.
