Mated To Him

“You are our Queen because you are his mate, his saviour, his only hope and ours,” he stated genuinely while Nadazhda stared at him.

“But I’m not a Queen!” she denied the title, and he chuckled lightly as Zaccheus pulled her towards his chest, “You are our Queen,” his voice was more profound and rougher than his regular, which made her know, his beasts were present.

“Oh dear,” Alec called softly, “There are many things you don’t understand, so I will do the honour by explaining.”

Nadazhda knitted her brows but chose to say nothing as she made herself comfortable on Zaccheus’s legs while he was using his hand to draw circles on her thigh.

“Every supernatural being are blessed with a soul mate to support, love and be a partner to them. Soul mates are written before birth, and no one can escape what’s written in fate. A soul mate is half of a supernatural. Without it, the being could never be complete and couldn’t be powerful. With a soul mate, power and strength come naturally. No one can reject one another because it’s like killing the individual. Soul mate is a weakness and strength to a supernatural.” he spoke with adoration as his eyes twinkled with happiness.

A soul mate? Do I have a soul mate? Zaccheus, does he has a soul mate? She felt her heart constricted bitterly when she imagined him with another woman. He could never consider her a soulmate because she was no one; she was just a broken human girl wanting someone to love her. Her thoughts ran wild as she felt pain in her heart.

Nadazhda shook her head away from her thoughts and focused on what he was saying, “How can a supernatural being recognised his or her mate?” she asked curiously while Alec smiled knowingly at her.

“The bond between soulmates is sacred and holy from Selena. It’s always love at first sight. The mere looking at your soul mate, you would feel contented and satisfied. have known because of the spark and electricity. The mate bond started to work.” his voice wavered a little with sadness as he looked at the space.

“Matebond is an unfathomable reaction between the two souls. It made them want each other. It brings two souls together until they are mated and marked,” he said.

“Marked as in tattoo or branded and mate as in...” her ace was hot with embarrassment while Zaccheus chuckled behind her. She knew the meaning of mate, and she had been taught.

Confirming her knowledge, “Yeah love,” she shivered in delight when his warm breath tickled her ear.

Zeccheus trailed kisses to the crooked of her neck, nibbling and biting it softly, which made her moan slowly, “I’m going to sink my fangs here as I will continue to pound that little jewel of yours slowly while taking you to the peak of ecstasy then stop until you beg for it and I’ll be glad to give it to you,” he stated sensually with his husky voice as she felt herself getting hotter and wetter with needs.

OH my goodness, that was hot!

Holy larva of the butterfly!

Just with his dirty talk, her body was trembling. If it was supposed to..., she shook her head dismissively, not wanting to think about it. Nadazhda unconsciously rubbed her legs together before he separated them and continued to trail his fingers on her thigh. Leaving her toes curled and breathing ragged.

“So that’s marking and mating about,” Nadazhda heard Alec’s voice in the background, and she was pulled back from her thoughts, mortified. Her cheeks were flaming red. She’d forgotten about them again. Just with his voice, she’d lost her common sense.

“Hmm...”

“It’s okay. It is understandable because the Matebond is getting stronger every day, wanting both of you to mate,” he stated as if it was an everyday thing, “The King was even patience and careful,” he scoffed, making her raise her brows in question, “the very day I met my Eva, I mated and marked her,” he added, smiling relishing the memories.

“What?”

“Most supernatural mated and marked their soul mates the same day or the following day.”

“That means I’m Zaccheus’ mate?” Nadazhda asked slowly, wanting to be sure.

“Yes, you are.”

“That means I’ll be a qu_e_en?” she stumbled on her words.

Me, a Queen! she thought.

Holy Santa of Christmas!

Destructions upon failures!

“Yes, love,” he confirmed her shocked expression.

Nadazhda’s brain couldn’t comprehend her being a Queen, and she immediately went into a mini panic attack. Her chest heaved heavily, and her breathing came out in short pants. She wasn’t what people called beautiful or sexy. She was just plain like a triangle. How could she be paired with an Adonis King when she was nothing more than a broken girl?

Nadazhda overcome her attack with the help of Zaccheus’s soothing words. She breathed in and out carefully, turned her gaze to Alec and asked, “Where is your mate?”

As the question came out of Nadazhda’s mouth, the room’s temperature dropped. The warmth was replaced with a cold which made her shiver.

“She was killed with our baby,” he replied gravely, yet sadness and yearning were shown in his eyes.

“But... How?”

“The dark witches killed because she knew about their conspiracy. She died protecting our baby, and I lost myself to my animal instinct, rampaging and destroying everything until I was brought out from my self wallowing. The only reason I’m still breathing is that I need to avenge my mate’s death.” he seethed, baring his shiny and sharp fangs as he clenched and unclenched his fist. “It was my fault. I didn’t listen when she said I should not go because she had some feelings, but I was so headstrong,” his voice cracked, and unshed tears glistened in his orbs.

“Don’t be sad or angry. Your mate is always with you because she’s in your heart and memories, so cherish it until you meet her again. And she would be happy knowing that you did lose yourself to darkness,” she said softly, “You can go out and cool yourself down. A cry is okay because it is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength, so pour out your heart!” Nadazhda didn’t know where the words were coming from, but she was happy to make him happy as his eyes showed gratitude before he stormed out.

“Woah, that was hot. You really talk like a Luna,” Zaccheus praised her, kissing the side of her ear.

She was happy that she was able to make him happy. It tugged her heart seeing him sad, and It was like the pain was hers.

The triplet walked towards her, smiling cheekily at her, “she is beautiful,” the lady in the middle gushed out.

Nadazhda stared at them in bewilderment because of the colour of their hair and eyes.

“I’m Destiny; what action decided,” The lady said as her purple eyes glowed, making her purple hair glow under the cloak.

The guy with pink eyes and hair smiled at her, “I’m Time; when it happened or would happen.”

And the last guy with orange eyes and hair, “I’m fate; the inevitable.”

Nadazhda was awed by their childlike voices and warmth, and they radiated out warmth.

Zaccheus turned her to face him as his eyes held worries and concerns.

“I hope you don’t mind being Destiny’s friend. So that she could teach you some of our practice here?” he asked.

“Yes, I don’t mind,” she replied excitedly. She was going to have her first real friend, excluding Rina. And Destiny was super cool with her weirdo hair and eyes. It would be fun to have someone close to one craziness.

“And you don’t mind Fate being your bodyguard?” he asked slowly while she stared at him dumbfounded.

“Why do I need a bodyguard?”

“Because you are my mate, and you aren’t safe because people would want to bring me down.”
