MORGAN
I was still taking it all in, but I wasn't freaking out. Maybe my brushes with the supernatural had taken away my human ability to be baffled.
Cassy was getting me ready to attend the meeting that was currently on break. None of the others had been informed about my awakening, turns out they had all visited me during the past four days, all except Demetre.
She told me that he appeared not to be bothered at all and had even gone into the city only to bring back high class call girls. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't bothered but wasn't the whole point of this 'union' for show? The least he could do was not embarrass me.
Cassy styled my hair into a loose bun and left a few strands loose and did very light make up. The dress, I was taken with. It was black, left my shoulders exposed and spread out from my waist till my toes and It had patterns of black on top of the lace.
The dark color was a stark contrast with my pale skin, silver eyes and hair but brought them out all the same. It was truly magnificent.
After we were done she called Drake, one of the king's private guards to escort me to the where the meeting would resume shortly. It was during our long walk that he told me that he and two others were the ones that pulled us from the car before it blew up and go that I would be eternally grateful.
People bowed everywhere I turned and it was strange for me. No one ever even spared me a second glance at Demetre's palace unless they were glaring at me. We arrived at a set of double doors and Drake left. Suddenly anxiety crawled up my spine at who these people were. They had seen me in such a pathetic state so what would they think of the fragile and very human Luna queen?
That title still left a bitter taste in my mouth. I was meant to be Malachai's Onkire. "That you are Mon amour," his voice said in my head. "Stay out of my head," I warned and nodded at the guard who pushed the doors open.
Seven heads turned in my direction all with different expressions, most of which were Joy. Amusement and bewilderment was in Malachai's eyes then there was Demetre who was just annoyed. I had seen pictures of the other royals but to see them in person, they were all ethereal. Their beauty was unearthly.
Mia was the first to stand. She came and hugged me thanking Cassy for healing me. Amelia and Valerie came over too and soon enough we were all chatting about different things.
"Ladies, I'm sure you can catch up after today's meeting?" Alexi said earning glared from both his wives. I know what you're thinking 'why two?'
It was Cubi tradition, a sovereign whether make or female would have three fated mates. We didn't know why it was that way but that's how they were created. Incasso Liam hadn't attended this year's summit because he chose to stay behind and personally train the new Cubi who had come of age. In this case, he was the the one with three mates.
We all took our seats and the meeting resumed.
"As you all know, Vetsmati witches have been going missing from our capitals and even after six months we don't know who it is that's taking them, why or where," Malachai said in a serious tone and some sick part of me wanted him to use that tone on me. He spared me a glance indicating that he had pried into my thoughts once more.
"Four days ago members of my private guard had been tracking the recently kidnapped witches and the trail disappeared as they reached the wasteland. My guess is there is either a boundary there or whoever they were chasing knew they were being tracked."
The meeting dragged on and after six long hours concluded. For today at least. I just wanted to sleep but the girls had other plans. They practically dragged me to the city for shopping.
I have to admit. The vampire capital was beautiful. It looked like something straight out of a fairytale. Everyone was so nice. Of course they were shocked to notice that I was human because no humans lived here just like the mutt capital.
We stopped in a lingerie store and they all tried on different ones ranging from modest to well...you know. "Come on Morgan try this on," Amelia said and threw a black lacey one at me and my face turned cherry red. "I can't, Demetre and I are just for the public eye."
Mia and Valerie snickered, "oh honey, who gives two fucks about Demetre we're talking about dressing up for Malachai," Valerie winked at me and I started to panic.
"Relax, we all know that you are his fated mate. It was pretty obvious because the only time he would leave your side was when we had the meetings. He slept in your room and talked to you and once even threw a tantrum when he couldn't get into your head while you were knocked out."
If they knew then, "no Demetre doesn't know," Mia said. "We were prepared to distract him if he came to your room while Kai was there but he never did. He's in the dark."
I sighed in relief. I wanted Kai to talk to the council as soon as possible, I mean Demetre didn't want anything to do with me so he wouldn't say no could he?
After a lot of convincing, I walked out of that store with a number of lingeries. I also got more comfortable clothing for myself because God forbid I walk around in gowns the whole time. After stopping by the food court we went back to the castle because it was already dark out.
We all said goodnight and parted ways. I walked to the room I would be sharing with Demetre and bile rose in my throat. If there's a couch in there I'm taking it cause there was no way in hell I would sleep in a bed he fucked countless whores in.
I set my bags down and opened the door only to wish I hadn't. Demetre was a mess of tangled limbs with two women and it made me want to vomit. "Ew, my eyes. Couldn't you lock the door?!" I yelled. He looked at me with irritation, "why should I?"
I sighed and walked it heading straight or the closet. Great, my suitcase wasn't even unpacked. I grabbed it and started for the door. "Where are you going?" He asked bow walking towards me. I looked away, "Jesus Demetre put some fucking clothes on!"
"And to answer your question, I'm going anywhere else but this sex cave," I grabbed my suitcase and closed the door behind me. I didn't even know where I was going, hopefully I'll find one of the guards and as for an empty room or maybe I'll stay in that motel I saw on the way back but somehow I was sure that there was no way in hell I was leaving this castle.
"Damn straight," he said behind me. I turned around and was faced with Kai invaded in shadows. "Lose the costume," I bit out and he did. His face stunned me again. "Come on Mon amour, I'll take you to your new room."
We walked in comfortable silence to a wing of the castle that seemed devoid of life. After a few more steps we came to a set of double doors, "here is your room, mine is just across so of you need anything don't hesitate. This is my private wing so there are no servants or guards at the moment," I thanked him with a kiss on the cheek and went into my room.
I was so exhausted that I didn't even bother changing from the summer dress I wore.
Two hours later, which felt longer by the way I couldn't sleep. Ironic right? I had been so beat up when I got into bed and now my eyes just wouldn't close. I tried changing into his a baggy shirt but that didn't help. I hoped Lina would come but she didn't. Eventually I gave up and stared at the ceiling. Maybe the bed was the problem.
I wondered if he would be okay with me waking him up, much less asking to sleep in his bed. There's nothing wrong with that right? I mean we were just going to sleep.
After working up the courage, I left my room and walked to his. For a time I just stood there thinking about maybe just going back to my own room and continuing my premium suffering.
'you can do this' I thought to myself and knocked. At first no one answered and then I knocked again. Nothing, I sighed and was about to turn when the door opened. He looked very sleepy, it was adorable and then I noticed he was very very shirtless. It was hard to tear my gaze from his abs and when I did he was smirking.
I looked at my feet, "I can't sleep, so I was wondering if I could sleep with you it's okay if you don't want to; I'm a natural night ow-"
"Come in, I was hoping you would want to but I fell asleep." I walked into his room and the scent of orange blossoms and damp earth wrapped around me. He closed the door and within half a second I was pinned against the door. He towered over me and the proximity made his scent intoxicate me even more. "I haven't wanted to kiss the real thing for so long Morgana, would you please let me?"
His eyes had darkened several shades and looked almost black. Our faces were so close that if either of us moved even a little our lips would be touching, and that's what I did. He was stunned at first but quicky started moving his lips against mine.
They were so soft, he tasted amazing. It was a simple kiss at first but soon turned into something else. He held my hands above my head with one of his while the other gripped me, pulling me impossibly closer than we already were. His hand moved under my shirt and molded one breast making me moan. He took this as an opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth, deepening the kiss.
His hand left my breast and trailed down my stomach until he reached the lining of my underwear. He didn't go under them but instead rubbed me through them. I knew I was dripping and now he did as well. I whimpered and tried to free my hands buy he wouldn't let me.
"So wet," he said against my lips and kept teasing. "Malachai, please," I begged and felt him smirk. He pushed them to the side and slipped one long finger in making me moan louder than before. "That's it, moan for me little one," he said in a deep and dominant voice and before I knew it he slipped a second finger in. He increased his speed and I could feel my lower region tighten.
He bit my lip and I felt the skin break a little, he sucked on it. He broke the kiss and started planting kisses all over my neck all while pumping his fingers inside me. I felt his fangs glide against my neck and he stopped. He was hesitating. "It's okay," I managed to whisper.
He licked that same spot and I felt his fangs break my skin. It stung at first but then I felt overwhelming pleasure. Every nerve in my body was on fire and I screamed in ecstasy letting go. That's when I noticed he was moaning from the taste. When Malachai pulled back, he licked the wound so that it would close. His eyes were a deep red, he took his fingers out and put them in his mouth all while staring at me. I pulled them out and kissed him.
He carried me to bed and held me close to him. "That was better than I ever thought, I know you're exhausted. Goodnight princess," He was right, I was tired and a little lightheaded. I turned to face him and kissed him softly, "goodnight,"
