Royally Mated

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

I woke up the next day and I was in Colton’s arms. My face was buried in his chest and his arms were wrapped around me. I wiggled around and soon found I was trapped in his hold. It tried moving but got nothing. I pushed against Colton but that tipped him over and me on top of him. My cheeks burned red, as I felt myself pressed against him. There was also something poking me. I down and Colton had a bulge poking my inner thigh.

“Good morning to you too.” I looked up and Colton was looking at me with tired eyes. I clenched my teeth, and tried to ignore the tingling heat that was rushing up my thigh.

“Umm, can I get up?”

“Sure.” Colton released me and I rolled off of him.

“Where’s your bathroom?” Colton pointed to the white door. The other door was black. I went into his bathroom and looked at my reflection. My cheeks were a bright pink and my hair was a mess.

I went out and Colton was changing. He was pulling on his pants. Thank the lord he had boxers on. He zipped up his jeans and when he turned he saw me frozen in the doorway. “Are you ready to go to breakfast?” I nodded. Colton held out his hand and I took it. I liked how my hand fit with his, it was nice. He took me to the same room we had cake with the King last night. Inside the king and queen were already seated.

We sat down were we had before and the queen smiled at me. “Good morning darling. Good morning Colton.”

“Good morning mother.” Servants put plates of food down in front of us and it smelled delicious. I was a little nervous. I mean I was having breakfast with the Royals. It was kind of amazing.

“How was your night little Tala?”

I looked to the king and he had a smile for me. “Good.”

He smiled. “That is good. I told you Colton would behave himself.” I looked down to my food and picked up a fork.

“Colton, didn’t you give her time to shower and some clothes?” the queen asked.

“No. I thought she should eat first.” His mother scowled but didn’t say anything more. We ate and it was pretty quiet except for a few words said by the king. I was too nervous to say more than a few words.

After breakfast Colton took me back his room. “Do you want to shower, or would you rather I take you home?” Home sounded good, but something was tugging at me saying to get as much time with him as I could.

“Could I shower first?” He nodded. He gave me another shirt and a pair of sweat pants. I took a shower and the shower in his room was ten times better than the one in my room. I took my time enjoying the warm water. And after washing away all the fear and grossness of yesterday I got out and changed.

Colton was on his bed. He was lying down and stared up at the ceiling. He looked so freaking hot lying like that. His hands were behind his head and his ankles were crossed. I lunged and I landed on all four above him. Colton looked a little shocked but it quickly turned to a smile.

“What a sneaky little wolf you are.” He brought his hand to my cheek.

For a while we just stared at each other. He’s so gorgeous. Silver eyes, soft hair, sexy face, and rock hard body. He was a dream and he was mine. He was a prince and he was mine. He was Colton and he was mine.

That is until my elbows gave out and I collapsed on top of him. Colton laughed and it shook me. He kissed my head and said “Come on. I have to get you home before your parents think I’m keeping you.” As I thought over his words I suddenly wanted to say he could. My throat quivered as the words tried to force their way out but I couldn’t. I wouldn’t say those words.

Colton got up and took me outside. I got to look at the beautiful mansion again. He pulled me to the garage where cars were lined up.

 “Which car?” I wondered if he was asking me or just mumbling to himself. I looked up and he was looking at me expectant. Oh he was asking me. I looked around and I saw a Lamborghini. I’ve always wanted to ride in one. Now seemed like my best chance.

“The Lamborghini.” Colton nodded. It was a sparkling silver color. Almost as pretty as Colton’s eyes.

Colton sped away and I know he went way over the speed limit. But I loved it. I loved the speed.

We got home way too soon and Colton waited for me to get inside. I heard him speed away as I closed the door. Part of me felt colder. I turned around and was swept into a hug. It was Nate and he was squeezing way too tight.

“Nate, hi. It’s good to see you too.”

He put me down and looked at me. “I was so worried when you didn’t come home last night.” Nate sniffed and I saw something like anger rise in his eyes. “Did you mate with him?”

What was wrong with people? It seemed like I had been asked a lot of stupid questions lately. “Yes I mated with him. Nate you were standing right there when it happened.”

“No I mean did he claim you?” What the hell did he mean? Yes he claimed me, we mated. “Did he…did…last night did you two” Oh my god. I caught on.

“No. Nate. Why would you even ask me that?”

Nate looked at a little embarrassed. “Well you smell of him, and you’re wearing his clothes.”

“No Nate, nothing happened.” Nate nodded. I went to my room and put on some of my clothes. I laid his clothes on my bed and went downstairs. I was almost in the kitchen when mom called me and asked me to come into the living room. Uh-oh.

I went into the living room and mom, dad, and Nate were there. This cannot be good. I sat in the empty chair and looked at my family. There was a mix coming from them all.

“Honey, we need to talk to you.” Here it comes. “You’ve mated to a Royal.” What I didn’t expect was how happy she sounded. “I’m so happy for you. But we need to make plans for how this is going to work. Now that you’re mated, you won’t be able to be away from him for too long.”

“How long is too long?”

“A week is the longest a pair has ever been able to go without seeing each other” Dad answered.

“So I can spend my weekends with him.” That didn’t sound very good. Only seeing him on weekends.

“Honey I don’t think you understand the situation. You are mated. As of pack law you should be dropping everything and be with him as of now.” What? I was just supposed to drop everything for him? I don’t think so. “But we made a deal with Colton’s parents. You are going to finish school this year and then in August you will leave to go be with him.” I couldn’t believe this. I had a time limit to how long I had a life other than Colton. “That’s as long as we could get you.”

“But…” what did I want to say. “But I won’t graduate. I’ll never get to see Sydney.”

“I’m sorry honey but it has to be this way. Just because you’ll be living with the Royals doesn’t mean you’ll never Sydney. They may allow you to see her some time.”

  “No this sucks.” In fashion of still being a teenager I stormed out and went to my room.

This isn’t fair. I don’t want to drop everything for Colton. I want everything with Colton.

I stayed in my room for the rest of the day. I moped, sulked, and everything else.
