as we get to know each other
Xavier's pov:
My life had been nothing short of the word miserable. My mate, the one destined to be mine forever, appears not to exist! I have been searching for my mate for well over hundreds of years, only to be disappointed every time. Was it by some divine fate I was not meant to find my mate? The thought caused a growl to ripple through my chest as I clenched my fist in anger. I am well over 5 centuries old, the typical age for a werewolf to find their destined one, was by the age of 17, yet here I am, a lonely Lycan. Many believe that as a Lycan and a rather brutally ruthless one at that, they believe that as punishment the great and powerful Moon Goddess has denied me the happiness of having a mate, and as the years have gone by I am slowly coming to believe that, the rumors might be true. I fixed my black tie, as I got ready for yet another boorish ball. This was to be the last of them, if my mate was not here, then the Moon Goddess must truly despise me. I looked over at the old grandfather clock, it was time to greet the guests one final time. The most tantalizing scent hit me, as I walked towards the ball room. It smelt of the forest just after a heavy rain, this smell could only belong to one person, this smell belonged to my mate. I could not help but hasten my pace as the large brown wooden doors were opened and my arrival announced by the crier. There were so many females that filled the ballroom, that I had to simply follow the amazing scent that led me here in this first place. Females began placing their arms upon me, as I continued to walk past ignoring their attempts of gaining my affection, slowly they began to stop and simply watch as my pace quickened to find the addicting scent. I found her. She was beautiful. Her ocean blue eyes stood out as black hair framed her petit face, she stared at me with a slight look of confusion upon her face, as her brows appeared to knit together. My Lycan felt the sudden urge to protect this small fragile creature before me. The size of her body did not help my cause, she was so small, simply begging to be protected. I could not help myself, as I pulled her into my arms, her head barely reached the top of my shoulders, as I shoved my nose into her hair, to smell that rich beautiful scent that could only belong to her. I growled "mine" She was my everything and I would give her the world. Without thinking I easily scooped her up into my arms and took her away from the prying eyes of the guests. I felt her frightened blue eyes upon me, as I looked down at her, to see she was slowly coming to terms with what was going on. Good. The quicker she knew what she was to me, the easier it would be on her. I walked past another set of doors that would lead me back to my quarters a lot faster than walking down all the halls. By the time we had walked into the hallway and left the ballroom I felt her go limp in my arms. I looked down at her small frame. She was so precious, and she was all mine. The guard outside of my room, quickly opened the door as I waltzed right in, placing her on my large king sized double bed. I should leave her, but the temptation to easily hop right in next to her was overwhelming. So, I did, for she was already mine. I lay my right arm over her waist and pulled her against my body, before letting her scent calm the rest of my body. My mate, was in my arms, and no one, would take her away from me. She was mine.
anastasia's POV
Slowly my consciousness came back to me, I tried to roll over but something really heavy was stopping me from doing so, suddenly yesterday's events came crushing down on me and I became very stiff, everything came back to me and slammed into me like a rock, I was a mate of a king, I was going to be the queen, all of these seemed so surreal I thought I would woke up in a couple of minutes and I would be back with my parents, but as it turns out everything is not that easy. slowly I wiggled around a bit and finally I was able to turn around, there he was at my side he was the most beautiful creature I have ever seen, e was mesmerizing, as I looked at his face my fears and worries drifted away and some kind of warmth filled my heart when I was thinking about him. All my life I was so scared of this creatures and now I was at the mercy of a cruelest and strongest one yet I felt safe with him. slowly he opened his green eyes and stared into my face, I couldn't even form a sentence, he tighten his green around me pooled me impossibly closer, "you fit so perfectly, you are perfect and mine" he murmured in his deep masculine voice, usually I would have man's head if he claimed me like a property but I didn't have it in me to say something, I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face in his chest, I didn't know what was happening to me this kind of things were so new to me, I felt embarrassed for being so straight forward, we spent couple of minutes basking in each other's companies and after couple of minutes he pulled away from me, "tell me your name love" he said in his deep voice that could touch my soul I shivered and answered "I am Anastasia, how may I call you" he furrowed his brows and brought his face closer to mine, "you are my equal my queen you can call me by my name, slowly I tested his name on my tongue "Xavier" it rolled of so perfectly from my tongue and he visibly shivered," yes my love?" he told me huskily, "I was just testing it. Suddenly Xavier let go of me and sat up he pulled me towards his lap and sat me there, at first I felt tensed but that I relaxed, he sweetly kissed my head and pulled me to his chest, "tell me about yourself my little bird" he whispered " there is nothing special about me i have to beautiful people as my parents I had amazing sister and hole my life I have been trying to hide from lycanthropes" he tensed at my last words, "why is that sweetheart? Are you scared of them, did anyone do something to you, tell me I will make all your worries go away." I sighed and answered "your kind took away most precious person for me, my sister, she was so beautiful, long curly hair, chocolate brown skin and eyes so brows that you could have been lost in them, couple of years ago one of your high ranking generals announced her as his mate and I have never seen her since then." I couldn't believe my ears why was I telling this to this man my darkest memories, his hold tightened around me and he brought his hand up to my face, "don't cry little one please, I will do anything for you if you want I can find your sister in hours and we can visit her once we have settled, " at that my heart rate picked up I couldn't contain my happiness and I hugged him, "that would make me so happy". After that we started to converse I asked him questions and he answered them, I wasn't scared or uncomfortable I was blissful, no matter how much damage his kind has done to my family I couldn't hate him.
We spent couple more hours in his bedroom and then Xavier decided it was time to show me around, I found out that there would be big ceremony tomorrow, where he would announce me as his queen and he would mark me on the full moon when his beast came out, at first I was scared and asked Xavier to postpone it but he made it very clear that traditions must be respected and even the king couldn't break them, Xavier walked me through the castle, "what are your hobbies what do you like to do in your free time?" he asked suddenly, I slowed down turned around and said "I love drawing it makes me happy and takes me to another universe," he hummed threw his arm around my waist and we kept walking, he showed me basics like dining hall kitchen throne room and his office and finally we came back into the room, I wasn't totally comfortable with him yet and when I asked him spare room he just glared at me and told me very cold no, at this moment I didn't want to get on his bed side he still was the king and could kill me with one movement, by the time we came into the room it was night time, as we went inside he led me into the wardrobe, "arms up love" he whispered into my ear, I hesitated at first I didn't want to be naked in front of him but he lifted my arms for me, he undressed me down to my underwear and started to undress himself, I started to shiver from cold and nervousness, as soon as he undressed himself he led me into bathroom turned on water and removed my undergarments, I covered myself feeling embarrassed but he took my hands away, if this was any other man that I had known for a day I wouldn't stand naked in front of him but this was my mate I couldn't bring myself to get away from him I wanted his company he made me feel safe, in the shower Xavier lathered my body and hear in shampoo he washed my hair. After our shower he patted my body dry and gave me one of his shirts, we laid in the bed and he pulled me into him, I fell asleep , the last thing I felt was his warm hands gliding up and down my back.
