Royally Mated

-13-

UNEDITED

This was the first time I've actually gotten a good look at the castle, it is magnificent. I never realized how beautiful it actually was.

Emery trots closer to the huge lit-up castle shining in the night, Emery stops right outside a large gate encircling the whole castle. Out from the shadows a dark figure emerges and pulls on some sort of lever, the gates swing open revealing a stone path leading up to the grand castle.

Emery pushes me lightly forward to walk through, I stumble through. I wait for Emery she nods to the guard who closes the gate behind us. I continue walking up the narrow walkway dimly lit by torches.

From a few miles away I hear what sounds to be a chorus of howls, Emery who is still in wolf form raises her head towards the sky letting out a feral sounding howl, the moon shines brighter tonight fuller, like someone is opening the moon wider to look down upon us.

I stare at her a confused look probably obvious on my face, Emery shifts and stand brushing off her knees before standing in all her naked glory, her silver hair falls flawlessly down her back in nice ringlets. She smiles, "tonight is a full moon," she says motioning towards the sky.

"The full moon can be a strength but a weakness as well, in werewolf lore, they talk about how the full moon brings the bound to the moon goddess closer to us which is true but since we aren't your average wolf it affects us lycanthrope differently. On the night of the full moon the bond is so strong it eliminates the logical part of our brain the human part which leaves us with our wolf in control, and when your wolf is in control they will stop at nothing to find what's rightfully theirs, their mates

"When the moon is at its peak is when we lose control and rampage the forest in attempts to find our other half the part to make us stronger and more fierce" Emery explains. I nod a couple of times taking in everything she had just told me. It was a lot.

"Is that why, Jasper that night when he found me again he m-marked me?" I ask.

She nods "he couldn't control what his wolf did, you have to understand I believe he sincerely didn't want to mark you that way. A marking is a very sacred part and we wolves want it to be as comfortable and pleasurable for your mates as it can be, but since he didn't mark you when he was in control his wolf took control and did it the way he wanted"

I nod, comfortable, and pleasurable was everything that wasn't. My body starts shaking as the night air becomes colder. Emery's eyes get soft and she guides me up the path and in through the large castle doors into a large front door room.

"This place is incredible" I smile.

"Didn't really get to look the first time you were here huh" she laughs. Emery walks over to a bin and pulls out a large t-shirt she pulls it over her head. "Let's get you to the nurse"

I nod and follow Emery down many long hallways which seem impossible for me to remember. We eventually come up to a door which Emery opens she walks in and waits for me to walk in before she closes the door behind us.

"Oh my! Luna!" A shrill voice exclaims from in front of me, a petit girl scampers out from behind a large desk. She stands in front of me quickly bowing.

I look down at her with confusion, "I'm going to have to get used to this aren't I? " I turn to Emery and she nods the edge of her lips turning up slightly. "Hey, you don't need to bow anymore, hi my names Rose" I stick out my hand to the small lady with a perfectly slicked back bun which rests securely on top of her head.

She takes her my hand in hers shaking it, "phoebe" I smile.

"We're here to have the Luna's leg looked at" Emery pipes up and says with authority.

Phoebes eyes widen and she looks down at my leg which throbs slightly but isn't to hurt just a slight gash which has been wrapped with a temporary fabric from one of the abandoned shirts. "Oh! I'm so sorry I didn't realize! I'll go get doctor Elmer right away!" Phoebe skitters off behind some doors.

"Do you think Jasper is okay?" I ask Emery who stands quietly by the door, she looks over.

"Of course I do," she says.

"How do you know though?"

"Because if he wasn't then you wouldn't be standing here right now" she smiles to herself, "when you have a mate you always know when they are hurt or in pain. And I believe that if he was hurting you'd know and not spend another second here." I nod at her words a question pops up in my head.

"Shouldn't you have a mate then? Since you aren't our rampaging in the forest?" I ask.

Her smile brightens as she looks over to me, "that's the thing, I've had my mate since birth" she says.

"Avery is your mate?" I ask in disbelief.

She nods, "but it's different with twin wolves when you have a twin usually they are your other half the other part you can't live without, but not the partner intimately, Avery is the other part that makes me whole and I love him but not in that way, that's the cool thing about having a twin you have your other half, your soulmate, then you can also have your partner the one you'll spend the rest of your life with" she finishes and it all makes sense now, yas confusing but it makes sense.

The door swings open revealing a tall skinny man, he walks over until he is a few steps away then bows, I sigh. "Thank you but you don't need to bow" I laugh.

"Very well Luna, what seems to be the issue today? " the tall doctor Elmer pats down on some sort of cot, I sit on it and raise up my leg and the shirt wrapped around it soaked in blood, he unwraps the shirt slowly then throws it into the toxic waste bin, after examining my wound he stands up. "It'll need stitches"

I groan in frustration, stitches of all things I thought it would be a quick fix but apparently not.

I hear far away cries and growls, my heart feels like it's been yanked, both the doctor and emery's head raises, their noses pointed to the ceiling.

I know it's jasper it must be he's hurt, I start to sweat my nerves growing every second, I look over at the doctor who is shuffling through pages on the desk searching for something, Emery however her eyes a glazed over and she continues to stare up at the ceiling.

After a moment she blinks out of it her hand lowering to my gaze, she nods giving me a knowing look, we're going to see jasper.
