The Prince and the Devil.

The Mate-bond

I saw my sister exiting the elevator while dragging my mate along heading towards my parents. My mate looks amazing in black. As she's hurrying behind my sister, I saw her dress brushing around her legs. 'are those tattoos?' kai jumped up salivating at her legs, 'I wonder how far up they go'  kai purred in my head knowing I was wondering the same thing.

Mom mind-link me, 'Shane come ask her to dance'

'Why mom?' I respond pretending not to sound excited about the idea

'Please just do it', she replied

I hurried rushed behind her as I watched her bow to my parents and calling my mom Luna, I wonder, 'does she know my kind...did Amber open her big mouth'.

She finally turns towards me almost into my arms. I offer her a dance and she took my hand and said, "yes, your highness"...'why does she sound so beautiful?'

I held her close fearing that she might leave me as I move to the sound of her heart. I stare in her eyes allowing her smell to entice my sense pulling me closer to the nape of her neck where my mark will be.

'Mark her now' growl kai in my head

Her smell is pulling me in. I held her right hand on my chest so she could feel my heart as I squeeze her body toward my chest filling the gap between us. Her head now resting on my chest near my heart and her not resisting my touch, I breath in her scent as I closed my eyes. I pray this moment never ends.

Kai purring in my head.

3rd person pov

...it's been 10min since the music stopped

Sound of gasping and murmuring in the room as more and more people started flocking round the open floor. Waves of confusion and whispers fill the space in the air. Her best friend has her hands clasped on her chest as she smiles proudly at her. His parents with their jaw open look at each other with confused and yet slightly proud faces.

For a moment everything stood still. Hands tightly around his mate as he lowers his head to meet her gaze as the room disappears from around them. All his focus was on her heartbeat, her breathing, and the fluttering of her eye lids as her eyes studied his face.

She could feel the rhythm of his heartbeat traveling from his heart through his hands that are wrapped around her and straight to her stomach igniting something in her core.

There were no thoughts. There were no movements. Breathing in each other as the invisible wave pull them together holding them in space and time.

It is a Bond. Stronger than love and much stronger than lust. It was created by the Goddess for the sole purpose of keeping her creation in check so no one creature can rule all. Every soul she put on the earth is divided in two...the two halves of one complete being. However, because the Goddess is not a dictator, she allows her creations the freedom of choice...in everything they do and that include accepting the mate-bond or rejecting it. Unfortunately for those that choose to reject the mate-bond that she instills for them, they are made to face the consequences of their choices.

Tonight, everyone witnesses the pull of the mate-bond. For those in the crowd that have felt it before knows the feeling, but those unmated watched in awe as the will of their Goddess took over two unlikely individuals. As the music fades from everyone's senses, lights start to flicker, as only the rays of the moon reach through the glass ceiling illuminating the couple.

His parents and her best friend marvel at the sight blessed by the moon.

Foreheads touched as they drift away, oblivious to everyone around them, his wolf pushing through graving for his mate...his eyes changed color from soft brown to gold, and finally to gray.

She flinched...

Lynn

The words in my head are fading...'what is going on...what is this spell...shit shit shit...what da fuu...' as her conscience fades into her head. Her body relaxes in his touch. She could feel sparks in her stomach as she breathes in his scent...like a magnetic force pulling her into his being. Her head empty and her body weakening from his touch. She can't let this feeling stop...'I'm never letting go'...her last thoughts as she drifts off into his eyes.

King

Her warmth is driving Kai insane in his head. Kai is pushing through wanting to mark his mate as he slowly looks longingly in her eyes, her lips, and then to her neck...his canines elongated scraping her neck where his mark will be.

She flinched and pushed him away...

'attack at west border!', his beta min-linked him. 'How many?' he links back. '10 your highness' came the reply

He links his warriors in the crowd, '10 of you follow me, the rest take everyone up the safe room away from danger'. He links in sister, 'Amber please take her to my room and wait there...we're under attack'. He then links his pack, 'no one shift in front of the human that's an order'.

And rushed out.
