Empress Khione: Her Revenge

True Beginning

Despite seeing the look in her eyes, her mate did not question it and continued to walk up the stairs until they reached an empty room. Although the room was completely furnished, it did not look like anyone lived in it. It was sparkling clean and looked like a commercial room, set with everything besides price tags. 

He pulled out a desk chair and steered it so that it was right beside the bed. Once it was in a position that he liked, he sat her on it and sat in front of her on the bed. 

"You're my mate," he said, the softness of his words contrasting sweetly with the deepness of his voice. Khione gulped as the butteries in her stomach mercilessly flapped their wings without rest. 

"And you're mine," Khione blushed as she uttered those words. She had waited her entire life for this moment. Sure, in her fantasy world they would have run into each other's arms and cried from happiness, but she wasn't expecting the reality to match her fantasy. Besides, as unromantic as it their meeting may have been, she was still so happy to finally get to meet her mate. 

"What's your name?" her mate asked, his voice continuing to send shivers through her body. She was in love with the sound and wished to hear him speak without ever stopping. 

"Khione," she found herself answering. Deep down, she felt stupid for answering honestly considering he was the alpha of the pack that her pack was at war with. But he was her mate and she did not want to lie to him. She didn't mind withholding information, but she did not want to lie. 

"I assume you already know my name," he said, expectantly waiting for her to utter it. It was clear that her lack of scent had him questioning her identity and she didn't blame him. As an alpha, he needed to always be on edge for the protection and safety of his pack. Even if it was at the expense of his own mate. 

But the problem was, Khione did not know his name. She tried to rake her mind for any conversations she heard during the pack meetings about the alphas of rival packs and all she knew was that Benjamin Cuthwulf was the alpha of the Red Stone pack. Well that was until his son took over earlier that night. 

Although she knew it was shady and that he would realise there was something strange going on, she decide to play it as safe as possible.

"You're Alpha Cuthwulf," she answered sneakily, hoping he would stop questioning her already. 

Whether he figured out that she was bluffing or whether he was completely clueless was a mystery to her, but much to her relief and surprise, he did not question it any further. 

"Just call me Atlas," he told her, making her swoon. 

It was their first meeting and she was already half in love. Sure it may have had something to do with their mate link, but having a mate did not simply make you fall in love at first sight, nor did it make you inseparable from each other. You were just like any other normal couple, just with stronger feelings. It was only when you had been marked that you would be completely linked 'til death. And that usually only happened on your wedding night anyway so Khione had a long time until then. 

"Atlas," she rolled his name off her tongue, making his electrifying eyes shine even brighter. She was beginning to feel all hot and bothered the more she sat there and stared at him. 

The two stared at each other without either of them uttering a word until Atlas finally broke the silence. 

"Are you a visitor?" he suddenly asked her, making her bite her lips. This was a sensitive topic and could get her in a lot of trouble no matter how she answered. It also meant that he knew that she was not part of his pack. 

A visitor was a legal intruder in the werewolf community. Werewolves from different pack were generally not welcomed in different packs. Each pack had their territory and any werewolf that passed it were held up on trial, with the final decision of their fate being in the hands of the Alpha of the pack they trespassed. And it almost always ended up in death. 

However, visitors were different. Visitors were werewolves who entered the territories of another pack with the permission of the pack's alpha. This was necessary in inter-pack meetings which happened often between allies. They still were not welcomed very well but the pack members but no one could do anything since it was their Alpha's call. So they could explore the territory without any risk. 

Khione was an intruder, not a visitor. However, she obviously could not tell him that whether he was her mate or not. She didn't know anything about him yet besides the fact that he was the alpha of the Red Stone pack – which happened to be her pack's biggest rival. They were at war and if he knew that she was the daughter of his biggest enemy, that would cause lots of tension. But she also couldn't simply say she was a visitor since that would give rise to multiple other questions, which she did not have any answers to. 

"No," she finally answered truthfully, before forcing out the the lie, "I'm part of the Red Stone pack."

Atlas knew she was lying and it was clear by the look on his face. A vicious look crossed his face but he quickly covered it up before she could question it. He looked away from her for a brief moment, making her feel anxious. Khione herself was feeling guilty about the lie. She did not want to lie to her mate, but he was an alpha and his question had given her no choice. 

If she said no to being a visitor, then she had to be part of his pack otherwise she was simply an intruder which is punishable by death. Khione felt her heart sink further down the longer he looked away from her. 

Finally after what felt like an eternity, his gaze met hers again. He opened his mouth to say something but suddenly decided against it. Instead, he placed his hand on the back of Khione's neck and pulled her in for a deep kiss.

Khione's entire world shook the moment his mouth landed on her's. She felt giddy and excited but most of all, she was extremely turned on. It was as if his lips had some magical power that managed to send signals straight down to her genitalia. 

Atlas suddenly pulled back and uttered, "I f*****g hate liars."

Before she could comprehend the words he had said, his lips were back on her lips. Khione kissed him back, feeling almost hungry for more. Much to her pleasure, Atlas took the hint and trailed his hands down her body, until he reached the hem of her dress. Every where his finger touched left a burning hot trail after it, the pleasure causing her hormones to shut down her brain and give rise to her animal self. 

To Khione, everything was proceeding at a painfully slow pace so she slightly pulled back from him so that she got step off the chair and on to his lap. Atlas smirked at her before he pulled her flush against his groin and went in for another kiss. 

Khione could feel his hard member against the fabric of her panties but despite already being so close, she wanted to be closer. She began to grind on his member, causing them both to moan together. 

Her actions had done it for Atlas too, he was no longer doing everything one at a time. His animalistic hunger had overtaken him. 

From then on, it was all intense and intoxicating passion. Their clothes disappeared and soon after, they were both moaning as their bodies connected. 

It was Khione's first time, but she did not feel anything but happiness and content that she had waited for her mate. It may have been their first meeting, but it felt right. Atlas was also the perfect lover so she couldn't have wished for more. 

She suddenly let out a loud, pleasure-filled moan when Atlas began to suck and graze on her most sensitive spot on her neck. The pleasure was so intense that she arched her back and curled her toes and she moaned uncontrollably. Her entire body shook out of pleasure. 

Atlas's mouth suddenly pulled away from her neck and gave her a chance to breathe. He began to utter some words, which took Khione a while to comprehend. She gasped when she realised that he was chanting the mating vows.

She realised what he was doing and froze in her spot, "No," she gasped as his canines grazed over her sensitive neck once again. "Stop."

Atlas did not listen. He continued to graze, preparing to bite. Fear began to eat away at her, making her tremble. All the pleasure she had been feeling earlier disappeared and turn into pure horror. 

"Please," she begged again, tears welling in her eyes. "Don't do this. Please don't. Please."

She was not ready for it to happen so early. She did not want for it to happen so early.

She tried to move out of his arms but he held on to her tightly, ignoring her pleas. She felt him smile up against her neck as he continued to penetrate her. And then with one swift movement, he bit her neck.

Khione screamed in pain as her skin ruptured. It took a few seconds until it was over but it felt like an eternity to her. Atlas finally pulled his teeth back and moaned as he released his semen into her. 

It was finished. He had marked her. 

"Now get out of my house."

Only to reject her.
