A Servant for a Mate - Book #1 (Completed)

Chapter 16~

Primal desire and lust burns my skin. The pain from his teeth vanished with the tantalizing brush of his tongue. Warm shivers rake me from head to toe. Tipping my head back a soft moan whispers past my lips.

My hands reach up to grip the softness of his silky midnight hair as his lips move up my throat.

I feel the bond between us forming, intertwining our souls. Our wolves howling in pleasure at finally being together.

Drawing my fingers down his neck to his back I dig my fingers into his smooth skin. Leaving my mark on him.

Lifting his head, our eyes meeting. Sucking me into the deep sea green pits I feel as if I'm finally whole. Nothing mattered in the world. We were the only two people that graced the earth in my mind. All thoughts fled my mind expect for the greek god on top of me.

"You my sensual mate are all mine." Leaning on his left elbow he slides his right hand down my arm until he grasps my fingers between his. Bringing them up he places small kisses on the tips. Leaving a warm feeling behind.

"Every inch of your body belongs to me now my sweet Claudia." Placing my hand on his chest he attaches his hand to my side. Pushing the sheet down between our bodies. Running his hand up and down until goose bumps grace my body at the desirable sensations he courses throughout my body.

Gasping I grip the bed sheets with my free hand. My eyes glaze over at the feel of his skin against mine. Is this what I have been missing out on?

"If any male comes near you while your naked, I promise you he will not be gracing this earth for long. He will be begging for a quick death after I'm finished with him," he snarls, pining my body to the bed. One of his hands secure my two above my head.

Coming off my high I notice his eyes haven't shifted color. This isn't his wolf speaking. Should I be fearful? I know Nik revealed information about Caden's personal life. How he has changed and wouldn't lay a harmful hand on me. Should I believe him?

"Bring me and Claudia clothes. We will be leaving this shit hole." Caden's eyes flicker black for a second. Is his wolf callous?

He is acting normal for a male wolf with a mate. It's obvious, no mate wants other's lusting after their- oh so naked soul mate. I've seen males nearly fight to the death because of a lustful look. It isn't a pretty sight.

"It's not like I don't know her body Caden. We've been best friends for years. She has slept in my bed plenty of times," Nik laughs out loud. Gloating clear in his voice.

Does he want to be killed? We spoke of this before my heat kicked in, that douche bag. Closing my eyes at the slight pain Caden's hand is transferring into mine, I try to keep calm. Loud rumbles echo Caden's chest at Nik's words.

"Don't you say another damn word Nik, or I will personally beat your ass for getting kicked in jail. You're a male wolf for crying out loud! Use that brain of yours that's in the big head which is connected to your shoulders." I snarl at him.

"I can't help it. You don't see what I see Claudia," he gags. "That boy needs to put clothes on. He is butt ass naked in front of not only me and the guards, but his parents as well. That's disgusting honey."

Opening my eyes I quickly move my head to see if Nik was telling the truth. Shutting them instantly, I realize he is. We are both naked!

"You slept with my mate?" In the matter of a slip second Caden's body was off mine and lunging at a defenseless Nik.

His fist connect with Nik's face first. Blood spraying the wall as his head springs back.

A small tingling spreads across the right side of my face.

"Is that all you got tough boy?" Nik spits at Caden. "Do you know how many times I've taken her out on a date? Gone running in the woods with her on our nights off?"

Caden pummels Nik in the gut until he drops to his knees from the pain. Blood pooling out of his mouth. He licks his teeth before spitting the remaining blood on Caden's legs.

Holding in the staggering pain in my gut I try to keep my focus on the two men.

"Shut up you filthy traitor," Caden roars with uncontrolled anger.

This is the Caden I fear. The one who acts before he thinks. Killing a male before you get the real facts is no way to be a prince.

Throwing his head back he barks out laughter. "Do you want to know all about us showering together?"

Gasping I wrap the sheet around my body before getting up on my knees. "Nik, shut up!" I whisper in horror.

Without another word Caden unleashes all his pent up anger out on Nik. His fists hitting flesh at an impeccable rate.

Crawling to the edge of the bed, I go to reach out for Caden. Instead a searing pain shoots through my side, then my jaw, followed by my gut. Eyes wide open I try to suck in a breath of air. Clutching the bedpost I try to hold on. The pain blinds me enough for my body to swing with the poll, nearly falling to the ground if it weren't for a set of strong arms.

"Are you alright my dear?" A deep monotone voice gently asks.

Gasping for air, I blink my eyes to clear my vision. Nothing works. Fright clutches my heart. Am I going to die?

"Claudia, what is wrong?" Again the voice utters. This time with urgency.

Blinking through the blinding tears I try to once again suck in air. With the man's firm hold on my upper body I'm able to claw at my throat. There has to be some kind of device obstructing oxygen from entering my body.

"Caden, stop choking Nikolai." The voice hollers over my shoulder.

My body feels light. Is this it? Am I dying? The tingling in my arms intensifies to the point I no longer have control. They drop to my sides. Closing my eyes, I try once more to take in air. Unsuccessfully my head drops back.

"Caden your killing Claudia. Let Nikolai go before she dies." If I wasn't dying I would be kneeling in front of my King. His command wasn't aimed at me, though I felt a sliver of it.

"What?" I hear Caden yell. To my ears it was a mere whisper.

Can't he feel my pain?

"Claudia is feeling the effects of your beating on Nikolai through their blood bond. You need to let him go before you murder your own mate."

Instantaneously I feel air rush through my dying body. Jerking as if I'm having a seizer I try to gulp down huge mouthfuls of air. Instead my throat feels like hot lead. The air burns. Clawing my throat I try to ease the pain away.

Why me? What did I do to deserve this?

The strong arms holding me up suddenly let go for a brief second as two equally built arms lift me up and place me on the bed.

My body ached in places I've never knew could hurt.

"I'm so sorry Claudia. I didn't know. I swear I didn't know." Soft sobs break through my fuzzy hearing. "Please don't leave me. I can't live without you, now that I've finally met you."

Rough fingers brush tenderly along my throat, invoking painful whimpers from me.

"Caden put this on her. It will help," a soothing female's voice filters through my drifting mind.

I wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. Sleep was calling to me.

A plastic cover is placed over my mouth and nose, forcing clean air into my body. Taking a few deep breathes I finally plummet to the darkness around me.
