Chapter 2 Royal Curse
- I don’t how we actually go back to his room, because the next few hours is like a blur.
- I find myself on the bed with him.
- We aren’t doing anything. We are just talking.
- Yeah!
- And eating too.
- Sebastian looks up from his food, “What’s your sister’s name anyway?”
- I raise an eyebrow at him, “You know that she has a mate, right?”
- “I just wanna know her name. Is that so hard?”
- “I am not gonna tell you, you can ask her yourself.”
- He throws his head back and groans loudly.
- I laugh at this, making him stop to look at me.
- I frown at him, “What is it?”
- He smiles, “You have a beautiful laugh.”
- I roll my eyes at him with a scoff, “Do you tell that to all the girls you sleep with?”
- His expression answers my question.
- I nod with a bitter smile.
- Of course, he does.
- I expected the Wolf King to sleep around, but him confirming it makes me feel stupid.
- “I guess someone told you it was a bad idea but you didn’t listen.”
- He nods and I stare at him numbly.
- I don’t know why it affects me.
- Maybe it is because I actually thought my mate would wait for me, maybe it is because I am keeping myself for my mate.
- But I shouldn’t let this affect me, right?
- I shouldn’t.
- “Minerv”
- A knock comes from the door and he sighs, staring at me for a while before he says. “Come in.”
- A female walks inside the room, she stares at me for a while before moving to carry away the dishes.
- The look she gives to me spikes my curiosity.
- I can already smell the jealously off her when she sends a rather longing glance at Sebastian.
- I wait till she is out of the room and make sure I hear her footsteps down the hall, before I say, “She is one of them, isn’t she…”
- I don’t actually give him the time to explain himself to me, “I was at least glad that I wouldn’t get to see the females you sleep with, and now I have to face them everyday.”
- He frowns and moves closer to me, “Then I’ll fire them all, you don’t have to see the”
- I glare at him.
- Is he crazy.
- “They’ll lose their job, Sebastian, I don’t want that.”
- “Goddess! Make a decision then.”
- What kind of male did I get mated to?
- “Just don’t sleep with any other female.”
- He nods and then makes a show of staring at me with a smile, “Wait, are you jealous?”
- What?
- “Oh Goddess, you are.”
- Is he drunk?
- “No, I am not,” I push him away and he laughs.
- “You are. There’s no need to be, Minerva.”
- Yeah, that is the best thing to say to your mate when you have probably had sex with a zillion females.
- Classic.
- I fold my arms across my chest and he says, “I guess I have to apologize for a lot of things. I didn’t think that I would find my mate.”
- I frown and move closer to him, “Why?”
- He shrugs, “My family has that demerit, I guess. We leave for hundreds of years with just a percent chance of finding our destined mate. They can be either died or might be born when you die, it is a very degrading cycle.”
- “I am sorry, Sebastian. I didn’t know.”
- He smiles at me. “I don’t expect you to. My family did a great job at hiding it from the public. I am just glad that only I share that should I say curse.”
- “What do you mean?”
- “I mean that, the curse as I called it only affects the one with the crown.”
- What?
- “Why?”
- He shrugs, “The royal family lives for many years, but my siblings are likely to find their mates and I am not.”
- But you found me…
- “That’s why you were scared when I wanted to reject you.”
- He frowns with an eye roll, “I wasn’t scared.”
- I laugh at his expression and hop on his lap, “That’s true, you were frightened to death.”
- He groans with a hidden smile and I pinch his cheek, “Promise not to tell?”
- Hmm.
- I could one day use this against him as a leverage of some kind, so I nod.
- I am so crazy.
- He stares creepily at me and I scowl at him, “What is it?”
- “I just can’t believe I found you.”
- Oh. This sappy stuff.
- His eyes dart to my neck and he leans closer to me.
- Oh Goddess, what do I do?
- As he gets closer, I panic some more.
- “What are you doing?”
- He doesn’t answer me. It is like he is a spell of some sort, but I know better.
- He is being controlled by his wolf urge to sniff me.
- He is drawn by my scent. All mates are.
- The thought makes me blush.
- His nose is suddenly on my neck as he sniffs me. He draws me closer than before, making me groan.
- I get lost in the sensation he brings and before I know it his lips are on me, my neck is probably begging to be spared.
- As his mouth works on my neck, I forget about everything, including the possibility of him marking me which would be bad.
- Mates don’t mark each other without permission and if he does, I will be so pissed at him.
- Of course, my clouded mind don’t think about this outcome, especially when I feel his canine touch my skin.
- I let out a loud groan and give him enough access to my neck while I hold back his shoulder.
- Sometimes the pleasure of the flesh is just too much to endure, like in this situation.
- I didn’t say that I don’t like it, neither did my wolf.
- Suddenly, he is gone and the sensation fades away in emptiness.
- I bounce on the bed with a deep scowl on my face.
- Goddess, what did I do.
- Urgh!!
- I can be so stupid at times.
