Captured by my Mate's Pack

Chapter 7

Violet's POV

When I woke up, I felt warm and happy. I felt like I belonged in Ryan's arms and knew instantly that that's where I was as soon as I woke up. I also felt that it was fate that I came here. Even if in order to get here, my pack was destroyed. I still hated with every fibre of my being what happened though, even if it lead me to my soulmate.

I remembered what happened last night, me and Ryan became fully mated and established our natural bond further. Dana my wolf was delighted, 'I feel complete now, we are finally joined with our mate. Caden and I can talk through mind link, its amazing.'

'Will I be able to hear?' I asked her.

'Nope, only if we let you.'

'Oh, okay. At least we always have a way of contacting him.'

I turned over and kissed him on the forehead gently, he gazed into my eyes and I saw the same love I had for him shine back at me through his. "Goodmorning Violet." His voice sounded like a song to my ears, it was so beautiful, like a perfect melody being played. "Morning," I replied, "Do you remember last night?"

"Of course I do. I feel it, like my soul remembers it too, like our bond is imprinted in my DNA from our moment together and so forth. Also Caden is over the moon."

"Good, so it wasn't just a drunken mistake?"

"Of course not." His voice cracked at the end of his short reply. Maybe he was doubting this was right. I promptly moved out of his arms, to get out of bed; "I'll get breakfast."

"Bring yours up too if you want and you can eat with me." He suggested.

"What if anyone notices? I mean, that we're mated. It might be more obvious if I eat with you like I'm your.. uhm, you know."

He had a small grin, "My girlfriend?"

"Yeah."

"Don't worry for now. I'll have all this sorted out so we can be together ASAP. Even if it means me leaving this castle with you." He sounded truthful and well meaning. His face lit up a bit when he said 'we can be together' I smiled uneasily at the possibility he might not be able to sort it out. But on the other hand, this was amazing! He could be my only ticket to freedom! Also I can be with my soulmate for the rest of my life as I should be. Then I considered my pack, "I'm not leaving without my pack Ryan." I said defiantly,

"You might have to." He replied bluntly. His words rung in my ears, I woudn't be able to see my friends again. I wouldn't have my last links back to my old life, which I didn't want to let go, just yet.

I went down to the kitchen to fetch breakfast for us both and my pack members were there as usual, well some of them. Georgina was there as usual chatting away to some of the girls. She noticed me walk in, "How come you weren't in our sleeping quarters for a while?"

This question almost caught me off-guard so I quickly thought of a cover story and replied "I was punished for a few days because I was 'rude' to an assistant of the Queen's apparently."

Georgina suddenly laughed and I was shocked at her response, she said "We all know you kissed the Prince! The Queen warned us not to try anything with our masters and used you as an example. Its ashame really, it would be terrible if he was your mate."

"Well.. He is." I shouldn't of said that to them, oh crap. What if they accidentally blurt it out to the king?!

Sure, the Queen knows but, I don't think she would tell the King as he would go balistic. The way his eyes narrow at the sight of a servant. The way he spits at them sometimes, like we are dirt. Like he can walk over us like a doormat, he wouldn't be impressed if he knew his son's mate was a mere servant would he? Haha, the look on his face would make me gleeful, his horror! Then I snapped back from my happiness as I knew he would be horrified, he deserved a good shock and to be brought back to Earth.

Argh, this is chaos I thought. "Don't tell anyone, please.. My life depends on it." I pleaded desperately. I knew I could trust my pack but needed to put across the importance of keeping quiet.

Georgina walked upto me and wrapped me in a tight hug, "Wow, you must be going through hell, wondering if he'll reject you." She sniffed as she got a bit closer, and her nose scrunched up. "Hang on.. I smell his scent on you.."

The girls cooking turned around and gasped, Freya, a young-ish girl suddenly piped up for the first time this morning, "Why have you got his scent on you?"

My cheeks turned bright red and I wiggled free of Georgina's hug and turned around. Now they are bound to know, what the hell was I thinking to even come in here? My eyes started leaking salty tears, they flowed down my cheeks onto my apron making it damp, and Georgina just walked away. She wasn't impressed that I had been with one of the people who basically helped destroy all of our families and lives. All the girls in the room looked at me in disgust, "How could you? Whether he is your mate or not, he destroyed our pack.." Freda said.

"Look, he said he didn't want it to happen okay?"

"No, we don't want to even look at you. We don't need your sad excuses to sleep with a man who helped destroy our pack." Georgina said what most of the girls in the room were bound to be thinking.

I just quickly made the breakfasts in silence and hurriedly returned to Ryan's room. When I closed his door behind me I blurted out "They know everything. I wasn't going to say but the Queen said about our kiss, Georgina came to comfort me by hugging me and smelled your scent on me from last night. My pack rejected me. What the hell am I meant to do if they tell your fath-"

"Woah there, slow down. They know?!" his words cut my sentence off.

"Yes."

After he just gave me a look of worry, then sympathy of my rejection from my pack, from my friends. And I joined him on the bed, baring the tray of food from my hands, and we ate in silence. I had hope that it would all turn out ok in the end. Without hope, there was no point in waiting for the future to happen, especially if we thought negatively.
