AN AFFAIR WITH MY MATE

Feeling Lost

DAMIEN’S POV

I woke up in the hospital with no recollection of who I was or where I was, I felt like I was in a place that I didn’t know, surrounded by a bunch of strangers. One thing that I could see was that I was in a hospital but I just didn’t know how I ended up there. Another thing that I knew was my name, even though I had to struggle a little bit until I finally figured out who I was. I was in a human hospital and I didn’t understand why I was there when I was a wolf. If I wasn’t feeling well why and how had I ended up being admitted to a human hospital.

I tried getting up from the bed but as soon as I lifted my head off the pillow I felt like my head was being pounded by a thousand pound hammer. I held onto my head and that was when I realized that my head was all bandaged. What the hell happened to me? I tried to refresh my memory and tried to think of the last thing I did before I end up being here and I was just met by a blank wall. Even trying to remember the details of my life hurt me physically.

“Take it easy” the beautiful blonde lady that seemed to be the nurse said,

“How did I get here?” I asked her and she simply smiled.

“You were in an accident, it’s a miracle that you even woke up” she said as she helped me settle back into bed and I was just trying to understand what she meant by saying that it was a miracle that I was even alive. I was a wolf and surely a mere accident wouldn’t be enough to kill me.

”How long have I been here?” I asked her.

“You have been here for a while” she said as she checked on the drip and I was very relieved that I could still remember a few basic things.

“How long?” I asked her “how long is a while?”

“A few years” she said, and I couldn’t help laughing at her. I was a wolf and there was no way that a wolf like me could have been here for years. I reminded myself that I was just talking to a mere human here and she probably didn’t understand how supernatural things worked. She started checking my heart beat and a few other things and then frowned

“What is wrong?” I asked her alarmed.

“Nothing, its just that it seems as if you were never in a coma. It's as if you were healed the moment you opened your eyes” she said and I sighed as I laid back on the bed.

"Almost as If something abruptly woke you up."

”I am hungry. Can I get some food?” I asked her, choosing to ignore her statements that made absolutely made no sence to me

“Sure thing, I will also get the doctor to look at you” she said as she wandered out of the room. I got up from bed and walked around the room this time without any difficulties. It was as if I had imagined the headache that I had felt earlier when I tried waking up. The human city was beautiful but I couldn’t help feeling like it was very different to what I was used to, not that I could remember what I had been used to. Surely someone back home had to be searching for me, surely someone had to be concerned about where I had been for the past couple of years. At first I was a little confident that someone from my pack would eventually find me, but then I asked myself why they hadn’t tried finding me since I had been in the hospital for years according to the nurse. What if they all thought I was dead? What if they searched for me until they gave up?

“I can see the nurse wasn’t joking”. I heard a male voice comment behind me.

”Can I get some food and some water?” I asked again and he smiled flashing me his perfectly white teeth.

“sure, the nurse is getting you some food, I just need you to lie down so that I can examine you” he said and I nodded and got on the bed. The doctor did the same things that the nurse had done to me and I wondered if he hadn’t believed the diagnosis that the nurse had given her.

After he was done, the nurse walked into the room with a tray that had some oats inside. She clearly didn’t understand what I meant when I said I was hungry and I wanted food. The sun was almost setting and I couldn’t believe that she was serving me breakfast for dinner. I graciously took the food and started eating while the doctor and the nurse watched me. After I was done eating, the nurse took the tray out of the room and I was left with the doctor.

“Well, now that you are awake and its pretty clear that everything is fine with you I think we ought to discharge you” he said.

“Is there anyone who will pick you up?” he asked me.

“Did anyone come to visit me while I was here?” I asked him and he laughed.

“Point taken” he said “so where will you go?” he asked me on a more serious note. I honestly didn’t know what the answer to that question was, especially considering the fact that I didn’t even know where I was or how to find my way back home. However, this wasn’t something that I was about to share with the doctor, I wanted to get the hell out of this place and be amongst my own kind, because I felt that it was better to be lost amongst wolves rather than out here with humans.

“I will find my way home” I said.

“Do you even remember where that is?” he asked me. “I mean you have been in a comma for almost five years now and after suddenly waking up you think you will be able to find your way back home?”

“Like I said, I will find my way home and I will be fine” I repeated myself firmly this time.

“That is fine, but I will discharge you in the morning because its getting late now” he said, getting up from the chair and heading to the door.

“Can I get some real food?” I asked him and he smiled.

“Sure things” he said as he walked out and closed the door and, for some reason, him closing the door after he walked out of the room kind of reflected my mental state right now.

LUKAS’ POV

I was excited that I had finally gotten the chance to bring my new mate home with me. I had been waiting for this day from the first day that I met her. Getting her here had been a little easier than I thought it would be but I wasn’t complaining. As far as I was concerned, Elena was the most beautiful woman that I had ever seen. I wanted to snatch her up before anyone else took her and before she found her mate. However, it was clear that the moon goddess was on my side on this because she had withheld Elena’s mate from her. Elena had passed the age of sixteen without finding a mate and I knew that her parents were now in a rush to get her mated to someone else. The parents of these girls often got desperate the moment their child turned seventeen without a mate. My case with Elena was different because I had paid for Elena, although her parents didn’t know it. When I saw her, I decided to lend her cash-ridden parents money that I knew they didn’t have. As soon as she turned eighteen, I came to collect my money and they had no choice but to hand her over to me.

I knew she wasn't happy about this and I had been expecting her to fight me but she had surprisingly taken this better than I expected her to. I was surprised when she voluntarily came and sat next to me, but my surprise didn’t mean that I wasn’t pleased. The last thing I wanted was to fight with her for what was rightfully mine. If she wasn’t happy with being with me, the only people she had to take her anger out on were her parents. They were the ones who were dumb enough to fall for my trick and now there was no turning back.

After we left her parent's house, we headed straight for my palace. I knew she was going to be much happier there because my palace was much bigger and way comfier than her parent's house. I expected nothing but gratitude from her because if I hadn't taken her no one else would have taken her in that small town of theirs. Their alpha didn't even try to stop me when I came for her because he knew better than to get in my way. If he had tried, I would have crushed him like the bug that he was.

“Welcome home..” I said as we pulled into the garage and I got out of the car, I noticed that she was still sitting in there and not making any movement to get out. So I looked back in to check what she was doing and she was crying her eyes out.

“Come on Elena, don’t ruin my mood by acting like a child. Just get out of the car” I said, but she didn’t move. I slammed the door and ran my fingers through my hair, was this how she intended this to be? I walked towards her side of the car and opened the door startling her.

“ You know this is all up to you, you can either make it very easy for yourself or very difficult,” I said.

“I like it when things are easy, but if you like it rough, I can easily give it to you that way,” I said and she slapped me. I was pissed, but I smiled calmly. I picked her up in one swift move and threw her over my shoulder and started walking toward my pack house.

It was clear that Elena didn’t know who she was dealing with, either she didn’t know who I was or she simply chose to ignore that I wasn’t a man that liked to be played with. When I got to my room, I threw her on the bed and watched her as she bounced on the soft bed and her dress moved up, exposing her fresh thighs. I could feel my c**k getting hard and fighting for the way out, but I knew today wasn’t the time for that. I had plans for her and I wanted her to at least enjoy what I intended to do to her.

“I would suggest that you behave yourself,” I said standing over her.

“ Don’t want to be here” she shouted.

“ Your father didn’t tell me you were feisty, what a dishonest man he is. I like to know what I pay for” I said with a wink as I started taking off my clothes and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

I was taking a shower because I didn’t want to force myself on her. I may have been considered a cruel and selfish man in all of wolf land but I wasn’t about to molest her. I had chosen Elena to be my mate because I fell in love with her from the day that I met her and ever since then, I had done nothing but obsess and constantly think about her daily. I just wanted to have her on my bed.

After I was done bathing, I was shocked to find that Elena was no longer in the room. I could hear her screaming in the corridor and I quickly wrapped a towel around my waist.

“ What the f**k is going on here?” I asked the guard as I stormed out of the room.

”She was trying to escape alpha,” he said and I punched him in the face, infuriated by the guts he had to lay his hands on my mate.

“ Don't you ever touch her,” I said bitterly?

”I apologize, alpha, but I was just trying to help,” he said and I picked Elena up and carried her back into my room.

“Will you just let me go” she snapped as she struggled to get out of my arms, causing the towel that was wrapped around my waist to drop to the floor. There was a moment of silence as she realized that I was now completely naked and I smirked. I dropped her on top of the bed and gave her a full view of my package. She looked at me stunned as her eyes traveled from my privates and up to my face again. It was as if she was in disbelief at what she was seeing.

I got on top of the bed and started crawling towards her while she backed away from me as if I was about to bite her or eat her. I almost laughed, but I remembered that she was still a virgin. The poor thing had no experience with a male and it was all up to me to teach her. I usually didn’t prefer virgins because I liked experienced women, but I didn’t mind having Elena as a virgin. The fact that she was a virgin meant that she was still pure and, in a way it felt to me as if she had kept herself for me. I couldn’t ask for anything more than that.

When she had backed all the way up to the headboard she had nowhere else to go and I grabbed her leg and pulled her towards me. Her foot accidentally touched my hard c**k as I pulled her under me. I lowered my head and placed a gentle kiss her and at first, it seemed she didn’t know how to react to that. She just played on the bed still until I tried to insert my tongue inside her mouth. After I did that, she bit my lip and I pulled away from her and when I touched my lip I realized that I was bleeding.

“I see you like it rough”, I said with a smile.

“ You and I are going to get along really well,” I said, and then I got onto the bed covers and went to sleep.

Tonight was going to be the first night in a very long time that I was going to have a good night's sleep. For years now my mind had been occupied by the thought of Elena and my dreams were haunted by her. I saw her in my dreams and although that was probably because she was all I thought about, I still couldn’t get her off my mind. I had longed for Elena ever since I had met her and it was surreal that Elena was finally with me and she was never going to leave me. Even if she wanted to leave me, I was never going to let Elena go. She was now stuck with me and it was going to be that way until the day she died.

ELENA’S POV

I couldn’t even sleep after what Lukas had done to me. I felt disgusted by the fact that I had touched his p***s with my foot even though I hadn't willingly done that. I felt dirty and I just wanted to go and bath but I was afraid that if I did that Lukas would follow me into the bathroom and this time he would totally have his way with me and ignore the fact that I didn’t want anything to do with him. After I had tried to run away when I first got there, Lukas seemed to have learned his lesson and he locked the door and kept the key under his pillow. I considered trying to get it from under the pillow but I just knew that that wouldn't help me.

Even if I managed to get the key I wouldn't have been able to get very far because there were guards everywhere in this palace. It was evident that Lukas had a lot of enemies because of the number of guards that he had in that place. It just wasn’t normal. It suddenly dawned on me that all of Luka's enemies were suddenly mine and they would definitely target me if they discovered that I was his chosen mate. Now my life was in danger as much as he was. A part of me hoped that an enemy of his would kidnap or even kill me and rescue me from this life that I hadn't signed up for.

I suddenly found myself thinking about my mother and my father. I was still very angry with them, but at the same time, I was already missing them. Aside from the bad decisions that they had made over the years, my parents were good people. I knew that they loved me and that they had no choice but to give me away. My father was right when he said that it was either me or my little sister. I couldn’t imagine my own little sister dealing with Lukas as I was right now. I was old enough to handle this and I had to carry myself as an adult.

I reminded myself that I had to do this for my family. If I hadn't come here, this man that I was lying in bed with would probably have killed my whole family. I wasn’t sure if I would have been able to live with myself if he had killed everyone. He would have probably killed everyone and left me alive just so that I could live with the knowledge that my family had been killed because of me. In a way, I was grateful that he had taken me and left my family alone. Maybe my sister would grow to have a better life than mine and she wouldn't be sold to the highest bidder. If my sister’s life turned out to be better than mine, then and only then was I going to consider this suffering worth it. I closed my eyes with hopes that the moon goddess would bless me with some sleep, but instead of sleep, I was given floods of tears. I started sobbing and while I was afraid of waking Lukas up and having him lose it over my endless tears, I just couldn’t stop crying. I missed my bed and I missed hearing my mum humming her favorite song in the hallway. I struggled to accept the fact that this was the way that my life was going to be from now on.
