Rise of a Queen

Apologize With a Kiss

I jumped out of my chair in fright as he slammed the door shut with a loud bang. Tears rolled down my cheek as I sobbed, I didn't mean to hurt his feelings or get him so upset, that he couldn't stand to be in the same room as me. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I don't deserve him and he doesn't deserve the pain am putting him through. Getting up I opened the door and went in search of Isaac.

It took me a while but I finally found him, nursing a bottle with his feet in the water of a river. His whole body language screamed defeat and sadness. I could only imagine what he felt. From hearing your soul mate say that they never wanted you. That they would've rejected you and if it wasn't for circumstances they wouldn't have spared you a glance.

I ruined my own life before it started. I ruined a possible golden relationship with my mate. I stepped forward and paused waiting for any indication that he didn't want me around. He gave none, not even when I finally sat beside him.

"I...I'm sorry."

"For which part exactly? I mean I know it was years ago before we even met but it still hurts to think that the woman I've waited ten years for would throw me away for a guy like that. Am I really that bad?"

"NO! God no. Your amazing Isaac, you're a lot more than I expected or even deserve. Back then I was stupid and naïve it was to the point that I would shun my wolf just for him, he'd raise his hand at me and I still stayed. If he said jump then I would've. But it's not like that anymore I swear to you. I don't deserve a mate, especially one like you, but if you want to I'd love to give this a try."

Silence.

The proposal was left hanging and so was my faith. Sighing I got up to leave when sparks surrounding my wrist caught my attention. My heart skipped a beat when he pulled me closer to his chest and hugged me. I sighed as I grabbed his shirt in my hand. "Your right you know, you don't deserve me. But I'd be lying if I say I wouldn't want to see where this goes."

"Your serious?"

"Yes"

I don't know what came over me but I slammed my lips against his in a frenzy of excitement. He froze for a moment but he caught on quickly and started to kiss me back. Wrapping his arms around me and squeezing my hips roughly causing me to whimper into the kiss. I guessed he liked it if his appreciation against my stomach was anything to go by. The kiss went on for a while until we pulled away from each other. He was ruthless though, I wasn't allowed to even catch my breath before he started biting and sucking on my collarbone. Making me a moaning mess, especially when he hit that spot between my collarbone and my neck.

My grip on him became tighter, and my need for him became even stronger. The only thing running through my mind was for him to mate and mark me right here out in the open. I wouldn't even care if someone saw us, as long as I got what I wanted. And all I wanted right now was Isaac.

I whined pathetically as he pulled away from me. He leaned in again with a chuckle and kissed my forehead and then my lips.

"We need to get back to the cabin before nightfall love."

"Ok. So do you forgive me?"

"There's nothing to forgive love."

We walked hand in hand back to the cabin, talking about everything and nothing really. It was comfortable even when we didn't say anything to each other for a couple of minutes. I strangely found myself being happy with how my life was going or how it turned out. I mean it wasn't the best turn out but I did meet my mate and he's given me a second chance at love. Well technically, this would be my first chance at love since what I had between Jeremy and I wasn't love.

Just his name made me upset. How dare he? He already ruined my life enough, tortured me, steal my baby and now he's hunting me down. For what? I already did my time in jail. I'm surprised I didn't become feral, wolves aren't meant to be trapped in a cage for any period of time. And ten years of being trapped in a cage, starved, and tortured was enough punishment.

"So are we going to continue our conversation earlier?"

He stiffened then sighed with a nod. I knew how he felt I didn't want to relive any of those gruesome details. But I guess it had to be done, Isaac did say that there was a possibility that Jeremy was abusing his power as an alpha. I wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be true. I just hope it ends with him getting caught and Isaac and I living our lives together in happiness.
