The King's Luna

You are mine

My eyelids glide open painfully. I look around the room and take it in. This is the room of my soul mate. I could feel his arm draped over me protectively. It felt so intimate being here in his room, in his bed, and in his arms. I wondered how everything could go down so quickly. 

I flipped my body around to face my mate. He almost looked peaceful if it weren't for it being his eyebrows scrunching together forming wrinkles between them. I watched his eyes flutter open slowly. I watched his eyes as they took in my presence. His golden eyes grew dark with happiness and lust. We were in his bed together and I expected nothing less. 

He leaned forward. Our lips brushed together. I didn't know if it was a kiss or complete accident but I began to relish in the feeling. He was my mate after all. I stared at his lips as they parted only slightly. I watched as he moved out of the bed and into the bathroom. The bathroom door clicked shut and the shower turned on. 

I only allowed myself to picture him in the shower for a quick moment before I shook the thought away. Pushing the sheets away, I got up out of his bed. I savored the smell of his room for a single second more as I walked to the bedroom door.

Finding the kitchen was easier today and I found myself making breakfast for two. I decided it was time for a conversation with my mate. I had been here for too long not knowing a thing about him or us. I turned off the stove and began setting the table.

I sat down at the island  just as he walked into the kitchen. He was smiling as he made his way to the seat next to mine. I found myself unable to hold back a smile. He was stupidly beautiful with his dark hair and his golden eyes. His strong body was pressed closely to mine and I felt pulled closer to him. His scent filled my nose and it made me crazy. It felt so strong with him sitting next to me. 

Turning my head, I stared into his eyes. 

"It's time to talk." I said with a half smile. He nodded slowly and waited for me to continue. "I know we are mates." His smile grew. "I just don't know if I can be who I need to be for you. You see, I don't want a mate." I wouldn't dare tell him the reason why I didn't want a mate. I watched his smile fall and his eyes turn dark. "I don't even know you and you don't know me."

"My name is Veles. I am the Alpha King and your mate. That makes you not only my luna but Luna over all. As my mate, I will do all I can for you. That does include answering all of your questions." He winked at me as my face started to heat up. "And, I do know quite a lot about you my dear Skylar." His hand travels to my chin. I at his eyes as he holds my gaze. "You are mine and you will want all of me soon enough."

My eyes widen only slightly as he lets me go and begins to dig into the meal I prepared. I stare in shock for a moment more until I join in. There was no more conversation for that meal but I knew there would be a long conversation somewhere in the near future continuing this one. 

I only wonder what the future has in store for me and my mate...

And Asher.
