Queen Called

'But she's mine'

The Alpha wasn't so happy about his mate when she refused to go back to his castle with him, until he threatened to carry her of course. He didn't know why she was so hesitate, did she not understand he's been waiting for her, for what felt like forever. Sophia didn't want him to touch her, it was a natural reaction to males after all she's been through. She pulled her sleeves down over the bruises Everett had yet to see. He wouldn't see them, he didn't need to know about her.. Her past now I suppose. She wanted a mate, she did and she wants children but with a father who will hunt her down and take it all away, what was the point?

" What is your name, love?" The deep husky voice of Everett spoke again. The word love melted her heart but also made her terrified of letting him in, of letting anyone in.

" Sophia." She squeaked out, heat pooling in her cheeks again. The rest of Everett's pack had left while Everett and Sophia walked the last quarter mile to his Castle. She knew who he was now and that was even more horrific. Sophia's mate was The new Alpha King meaning of she didn't run, she would be The Alpha Queen. She had a job and a simple but hard life.

" Beautiful, I am Everett if you hadn't figured out." Everett tried scooping up her hand to finish the walk but panic arose in her eyes quickly. She didn't want to be touched. She wanted to feel safe for once. Soph retracted her arm and folded it into her other. Walking a few steps to the side to stay clear of him. He was obviously upset from the lack of willingness to touch from his mate.

" Please don't touch me." Sophia whispered as they arrived at the castle. Everett's heart sank into his chest, Did she even want him? Didn't he affect her the way she affected him. The old Queen came running down the steps from the castle. She seemed very excited as a tight grin set on her face. Kathryn had been waiting for what seemed like such a long time for Everett to find his mate. Kathryn along with all of the women were still dressed up and talking in the Courtyard before all of the Warriors started to trickle in with normal clothing. She knew something must of happened while Her husband Jerrold seemed completely at peace.

" Oh She's lovely." The mother sighed with content. The girl standing in front of her would make a fine Queen, she seemed a bit shy. Possibly from the events of tonight or the fact that Kathryn knew she had been abused. She had decided not to tell Everett as it was not her place. Kathryn gently placed her arms around the girl in a comforting way. She was hoping it would make the girl feel at home. Sophia was stiff for a moment before relaxing and enjoying the motherly touch.

" Mother this is Sophia. Sophia this is my mother Kathryn." Everett kept his distance while introducing his Mate to his Mother. He was instantly Jealous and Angry when his mate allowed his mother to hug her when he couldn't even touch her hand. Why was she rejecting him so much? He was her mate and damn well deserved to touch what was his!

" It's a blessing to meet you. Come on dear I'll get you cleaned up and settled in." Kathryn was busy thinking about how to ask this girl about her life. And why her son seemed so distant with his mate. At this point When she had met Jerrold she didn't want to take her eyes off of him. Sophia was confused at what was happening. She was already being taken in by this woman in a beautiful ball gown with greying hair while she wasn't sure she wanted to stay. Of course she wanted Everett, but she was scared. It was a common feeling to her but still felt no different or horrible every time. Kathryn pulled aside her son for a moment excusing them. He was fuming from thinking to much about how she wouldn't let him touch her.

" She won't let me fucking touch her." Everett gritted out clenching his jaw. His temper was getting the best of him. His wolf craved to touch her, to hold her again.

" Son calm down, we can all see it. I'll take care of her, you come up to your room in an hour." She whispered to him as she went back towards Sophia to find out the details of her vision. To see just how badly the future Queen had been hurt. Everett was pissed and needed to talk to his father. He needed his mate to be alright.
