First Version of A Servant for a Mate (Completed)

ch4

Nickola's POV

I watched as she lay down on the bed, her body shimming under the silk bed sheets. Wishing with all my being that it were my hands sliding across her soft skin; wanting to hear her moan with pleasure while I do magical things to her.

I've wanted her for years. I may be five years older than her, but means nothing in my eyes. I didn't know my mate that well. We had only met days before she was murdered by a group of rogues. I was so young that when they attacked I couldn't do anything. Don't get me wrong I tried; I tried so hard that the last thing I saw before I blacked out was a rogue snapping my mate's neck. Days later I woke up in a hospital bed my body sore from not moving around. I was later told that when the royal doctors got to me I was hanging on by a thread. They had to pump blood into me because I literally had none. The only donor they could find on such short notice was a little girl I had considered my sister. Her name was Claudia and she was my best friend.

That day changed my life for the better. I wasn't like a normal mate grieving for the loss of one's soul mate. When they transferred her blood into my blood we became bonded. I felt a pull towards her, strong then even my mates pull. Which I don't understand how that's even possible, but it is. I never told anyone because I didn't want to scare her away. At the young age of twelve she became my everything. I would do anything to make her happy. She of course wouldn't let me buy her lavish things since she was a servant and didn't want people thinking we were doing things we weren't. How I wished we were but she was still too young to understand so I never once pushed her or told her about our bond.

I didn't want to scare her after her mate had rejected her. She never told me who he was because she knew if she had I probably would have killed him myself for hurting my angel in that way. Yes, I called her my little angel. She was one after all. She may be a servant by title, but I plan on marrying her, making her mine in a couple of years; which I have wanted ever since I was a little boy. She was the only girl who ever understood me growing up and that made our bond stronger at least on my end. Her mate was still alive so there was always a chance he would come back for her. When she goes into heat he will wake up in a dead sweat wanting to be near her, to be fully mated with her. It doesn't matter that he rejected her in the beginning; his wolf will want his mate and push aside his human's feelings. His wolf will have her if I left him, which I won't. I've asked a couple buddies to watch the house and make sure no wolf enters it. If he tries they will kill him on side. She won't feel a thing since he already rejected her.

It was a crime in our world to reject your mate for any reason. They didn't care if it was the King and a servant girl. She would be his mate because fate had made it so. If the human side rejected his mate and the wolf didn't take over telling him he was wrong then there was nothing we could do because there was no way to prove other then get them jealous. There would be a punishment decked out if he was found out to be lying and did reject his mate. The same thing went if the female wolf rejected her mate. The only difference would be when the female went into heat and her mate would try to rape her, he would be caught and killed once she was over her heat. Raping a female wasn't allowed in the werewolf community one bit. It was looked down upon.

Anyways, back to when I was younger her father had saved me from a burning fire. My parents had passed away in it, but he got to me in time. Ever since then I have pledged myself to helping him and his little family. That's why she was my best friend and she was the one to give me her blood. They knew we were the same time. I was always getting her to do stupid stuff which ended up with us both hurt and in pain. There were days when we would lay around in bed together laughing and having a ball. The other servants wouldn't dare say a word of her not working because they know they would get shit for it since I was the one taking up her time.
