I stared up at Leon with wide fearful eyes hoping I didn’t do anything wrong by kissing him. But I know I did. He is dating Rachel and everyone knows that. I would hate it if my boyfriend cheated on me with another woman so I’m sure she would hate me more now.
But that is besides the point. I don’t care what Rachel thinks right now. I am solely focused on the boy in front of me staring down at me like I have committed the biggest mistake known to werewolves.
He took several steps away from me, his dark eyes filled with different emotions that I cannot name and his breathing has changed. It is more rapid now, like he is panting after running for hours non stop. Mine is back to normal but barely. Is he still affected by the kiss?
“Stand the f**k up!” He said emotionlessly. All the ones I saw raging in his eyes disappeared and his breath is back to normal like he switched it off.
I slowly did as he said, keeping my eyes on him because I think he has bipolar. Do werewolves have bipolar? He kissed me himself. He initiated the whole thing and now he is mad at me for returning the favor?
“Why did you f*****g follow me to the bathroom? Are you that desperate?” He asked in a semi growl, a step closer to me but like he thought better of it, he stopped coming closer.
I opened my mouth to tell him I didn’t follow him here and didn’t even know he was here but the words got stuck in my throat for some reason. Why would he think I would follow him here when I have never even met him? Does he know that I am the new human student?
“I–I am the transfer…” I was cut off from trying to explain I was the human transferred student and I ran in here to hide away from his bully girlfriend.
He didn’t wait for me to finish when he took my wrist in a not so gentle way and dragged me out of the bathroom then threw me on the floor like a discarded toy. Both my palms were on the floor but I raised my head to look at him with confusion. What just happened?
“Take her to the dungeon. She is going to be punished for defying school rules.” He said to two guards by the door, ones I didn’t notice when I ran in there.
I tried to explain myself again but there were so many people around already. I heard Rachel’s heels before I saw her in a new dress strutting towards the scene like she owns it. She smiled when she saw me on the ground looking like the lowly human she thinks I am.
Some students that have been there before her were quick to fill her in on what happened while making me sound like the one at fault. I was only hiding away from my bullies when he found me and decided to kiss me. I didn’t do anything. I am not in the wrong. I wanted to shout but I knew no one would hear so I didn’t.
“Whoa, desperate much? Is this how you humans are? Going after boys in their bathroom?” Eloise was the first to taunt me with a wicked smile on her face.
“I’m sure she is a w***e amongst the humans. I mean, she was running away one second and the next she is trying to get f****d?” Rachel shook her head as if pitying me for being human.
“w***e!” The word bounced from the other students as they snickered at me, making my face flame hot and tears rushed down my eyes.
Rachel stopped them only to add salt to the wound. “Ah, now don’t do that to her. She is probably doing what she knows best and to her, that is not whoring.”
“Why are you calm? She wanted to get at it with your boyfriend?” Someone asked from the crowd of students.
Rachel raised her head to where Leon was standing talking to his guards with so much anger tightening his muscles. The muscles that were pressed against me with so much sensuous force a few minutes ago. Those legs pressed against my delicate ones as his lips devoured mine.
“Because I know my boyfriend would never cheat on me. Least of all, with this trashy human.” She clicked her tongue at me, her eyes changing color for a second. Werewolf freaks!
“Take her away.” Leon’s voice stopped Eloise from talking. One last disgusted look was sent my way before Leon stalked away from the crowd that parted for him like the god he thinks he is.
I cried the whole way to the dungeon knowing my plea would fall into deaf ears. One of the guards even nodded at Rachel as we walked past her and that filled me up with dread. Why would he do that? Are they planning something or is he just greeting her?
“He said we should start with mild punishment for now. Don’t take it too far.” The other guard that didn’t nod at Rachel said to the other.
“Okay.” And then he binds my hands and blindfolded me then starts to drop water onto my forehead at irregular intervals causing me so much discomfort. I struggle against his hold but there is no luck. He is stronger.
“Stop, please stop.” I begged but he didn’t until the water was finished.
Lean walked into the room to see me, his eyes taking in how disheveled I am. I see the emotions in his eyes now and he is fighting them so hard but then he sends the guards away and moves closer. Taking my wet hair in a fist behind my skull, he kissed me again but this time around, it was harder than before. As if he is trying to fight whatever this is between us.
“Mate…” he said in between my lips then changed the angle of the kiss to penetrate his tongue inside my mouth. I shivered from the cold and this toe curling feelings.
Wait, mate?
I wasn’t allowed to think much of it because he pushed me back against the wall with murderous eyes. The attraction and swirling sinful emotions now turned off from his gorgeous eyes. I swallowed thickly.
“Listen up, you piece of human…” Leon growled, making me flinch.
He presses closer, looming and large. “Yes unfortunately you are my f*****g mate! You better not even think that this means anything. And don’t breathe a word. If you do, I'll kill you myself. And don't forget, I can reject you anytime I want. You're just a fragile human, you'll die without me. I'll decide when we break this bond, not you. Understand?”
I was confused at first before anger slowly started boiling in my veins. “You're insane if you think I'll keep this quiet after you just threatened my life. If I want to tell someone, I will!”
“I’d like to see you try, sweetheart. But remember, I can kill you and no one will f*****g ask me why. Don’t forget whose territory you are in.”
“You wouldn't dare kill me! You're my mate, Leon and you cannot do that. I know how the bond works!” I breathed angrily but he only smirked at me with no emotion.
“A mate or not, sweetheart, I can easily become your worst nightmare. Keep your mouth shut, or I'll make sure you regret it.” He was quiet for a second then he added. “By the way, a Lycan can survive after killing his mate, a normal werewolf won’t.”
He turned to leave then stopped by the door. “You’ll serve your sentence later.”
He didn’t wait for the words to get into my head before he disappeared. What sentence? Isn’t this the only punishment I’m supposed to serve? f**k.
I was released later on but the guards told me I was going to work as a maid for Prince Leon’s coronation party which was the next day and the consequences of not performing my last punishment is going to be something I don’t want to find out.
Apparently, Leon is going to pick a bride during the coronation from what I found out from Cassey and Talia, my only friends. They are also two lower rank werewolves and won't be able to save me from my bullies or else get their own worst nightmare in front of them. They will also be working as maids for the coronation as lower rank werewolves.
The next day, we were given a uniform to wear as the maids for the party. I was so giddy after the dream I had of Leon naked in my bed doing the unspeakable. Yeah, we were having this hot s*x that made me wet just thinking about it. Whenever his name is called, my core would tingle.
“Why are you so hyperactive? You are getting punished for trying to sleep with the Prince but you are all giddy whenever we mention his name. You okay?” Talia asked, tilting her head to the side.
“Yeah I also noticed.” Said Cassey.
Not able to keep things in anymore, I told them all what happened the day before from getting bullied by Rachel to the dungeon. They were shocked, their mouth literally touching the pristine floor beneath us.
“He is choosing a wife that isn’t his mate.” Cassey said.
My heart tightened in my chest at the thought. Is he really going to do that? Is he going to marry another woman knowing I am his mate? I am not a werewolf but the connection is so deep my chest aches at the thought of him having another woman.
We were at the party later on after they forcefully tried to cheer me up but it didn’t work. Serving drinks was hard but with them by my side, everything was fine. When we gathered by the side as the Prince will make an appearance soon, Talia said she saw Rachel but when I turned around, she wasn’t there.
My eyes flickered around the crowd and k could swear that I saw Rachel drinking something which I now recognize as a love stimulator and an aphrodisiac in a wine!
