The Lycan King Runaway Mate

Chapter 5

Melissa Eden.

Nicholas’s father, the present Alpha of the BLACK MOON PACK was returning from his trip tomorrow so the house was busier than usual. According to what Grace, my newly found friend told me, he was far worse than his son and even Nicholas was scared of his father.

I was warned by her to not do anything to upset him in order to avoid his wrath.

Since I had nothing to do, I decided to go through the numerous clothes I found in the closet. They all looked so beautiful and expensive not like anything I have worn before.

I try on everything one after another from casual wears to formal wears. I still don’t know how they were able to get my exact size for everything cause I don’t remember telling anybody what my sizes were. This was really impressive honestly.

Just when I thought I was done with everything, I see a set of lingerie behind in the underwear section and my curiosity gets the better of me.

I hastily take them out, excited to try them on. I had only seen them on televisions and social media but now I felt really thrilled that I get to wear one too. According to most people, it was supposed to be worn to get the attention of your partner, a way to seduce them but I didn’t have anyone like that and I certainly didn’t want Nicholas sexually.

The first one was black in color and honestly speaking, it showed literally every part of my body apart from my n*****s and crotch area.

It was majorly made up of rope, with a bow covering the n****e region and a thin material at the crotch. It left little to imagination.

Just as I was about changing out of it, I hear the door to the room open. Did Grace leave something?? I go out to meet Grace and to also show her the lingerie set but I’m met with none other than my mate, Nicholas.

His eyes darken as they take in my appearance and I immediately regret putting this on.

“ Uhh.. I thought it was the maid. Give me a minute.” I turn away hastily but he grabs my hand before I make it the door of the toilet.

“ Now, now... would you look at that. I knew you would look dashing in that. Your body is the most beautiful thing I have set my eyes on Melissa.” His eyes stay fixated on my body. Scanning his eyes over the curves of my hips and the rounds of my breasts.

He didn’t love me or want me. He wanted my body. As his mate, I was obligated to give him my body whenever he wanted but our situation wasn’t exactly normal so I was in no way obligated to give him what he wanted.

I try to move his hands away but that makes him leave my hand to forcefully grab my waist.

“ What are you doing, Nicholas stop.” My heart begins to race and not in a positive way. I was genuinely scared of this man.

He moves his body closer to mine and closes the little space between us, his face inches away from mine.

I did not like where this was going.

“ Come on Melissa. You should have no problem in giving me what I want. I am your mate after all.” His hands start to move around my waist.

“ Stop.” My voice is low and shaky, my mind already thinking of ways to get out of this.

“ Please stop.” I continue but he pretends to not hear a word I say, his hands continuing it’s assault on my body.

“ I said stop!!” My voice comes out stronger this time around as my hand instinctively use all the strength available in it to push the man in front of me. Thankfully, his wolf wasn’t in agreement with him so he couldn’t use his strength on me.

I use the opportunity to run into the closet and immediately lock the door.

I don’t want to cry. I don’t want to seem weak but it’s hard. Too hard. What was he going to do to me if I didn’t stop him?

My body falls helplessly to the floor as I let go of the tears, my body shaking along with it. This lingerie. It’s all because of this stupid lingerie.

I grab a hold of it, still on my body, I begin to tear it off angrily. I continue until I am completely naked, still drowning in my tears.

A few minutes later, I slip into the bathroom to wash the awful imprints of Nicholas from my body before going to bed.

It’s funny how just a few days ago, I also cried but for a different reason. I begged the moon goddess to give me a mate, crying desperately because I felt that my life was hard only because I didn’t have someone to share the pain with. But I was wrong. Terribly wrong. I haven’t even spent a week here but I was already tired. How can I live here forever with my SO-CALLED mate.

Is this some kind of punishment for a sin I might’ve committed unknowingly? If not that, then why?

************************************************************

“ I will not tolerate any kind of disobedience Melissa. I’m saying this for your own good. My dad is not someone to be messed with. Behave.”

I had barely gotten any sleep last night due to overthinking and around six, Grace came to wake me up, Nicholas’s orders. Apparently, his father was already in the city and was on his way to the house. I was asked, more like ordered to get dolled up to meet his Father, Alpha Benjamin. Members of the park were not allowed to call his first name so they only referred to him as ‘ Alpha ’.

Nicholas was already giving me a briefing so I don’t annoy his father.

“ I don’t plan on getting on his good side Nicholas. Don’t worry about me.” My bored expression showing how uninterested I was in meeting his father. The only thing on my mind was how to leave this place for good. Nicholas had already paid off all my debts, from my college debt to my rent. I didn’t know how to feel about it because I knew that although he had cleared my debts, I was still indebted to him.

“ Your mouth is going to get you into big Melissa, I would watch it if I were you.” I roll my eyes at his statement, no longer scared of him. I was more angry than scared.

*Ring Ring* His phone vibrates in his pocket, the call he had been waiting for finally coming in. I guess his father was here already.

“ Already? Okay we’re on our way.” He cuts the call and looks me dead in the eye.

“ Behave.” He says one last time as we exit the room.

Everyone was already present at the living room to welcome his father. My eyes scan the room, looking for grace and they finally stop when I see her at the far end of the room. I raise my hand to wave at her but she suddenly shakes her head, telling me that it would be a bad idea to do that. I turn away with a pout on my face already feeling lonely.

The door opens and the entire room goes silent as his father enters the room followed by three other bulky men who looked like bodyguards to me.

Why would a wolf need bodyguards?

His father wasn’t as old as I expected, he seemed to be in his late fifties with a few strands of grey hair. The only thing that gave him away was his striking resemblance with his son.

“ Father.” Nicholas goes towards him, fear evident on his face. “ Welcome back father. ” He continues as his father looks around the house before nodding at him.

“ Yes. It feels good to be home. You’re all dismissed, I need to rest.” He orders and my heart almost skips for joy but my moment is cut short as Nicholas speaks up.

“ Wait, Father. There’s someone I’d like you to meet.” His eyes dancing around with happiness like a kid who was just given a candy.

“ This better be important, I don’t have the time or energy right now.” His father says, his tone oozing with authority.

“ Yes father.” Nicholas turns towards me, and I take it as my cue to go forward. I wasn’t scared of his father but I wasn’t confident either.

“ This is Melissa Eden, my mate.”
