The Mute Mate

XVI

(TW: Rape Mention)

Ke'aysha and I had finished dinner and sat and talked for a minute. Well, I happened to do most of the talking, but I finally got to hear her voice. Her beautiful voice. It really was like an angel speaking to me and letting me know everything was going to alright. For once I believed her and what she was telling me. Maybe it was partly because of desperation, that I could finally hear her voice, know her name, know she had given me a second chance and start over with her. Maybe it was because I honestly believed her.

It was a little past midnight when I could tell she was tired and wanted to go to bed. I led her back to her room and we stood outside of the guest room, that I guess became her room for the time being. I had this sense that neither of us wanted the night to really end. I felt like I was fighting for my mate this time. It wasn't a feeling of defeat anymore, but hope. It got my heart racing. I decided to start off saying goodbye, even though I was right down the hall from her, "Tonight was fun. I hope the food was cooked to your liking." I would have to kill the chefs if they didn't cook everything properly. 

She nodded, "Everything was amazing." I found myself relaxing my muscles at the thought of killing the head chef first. 

But regardless, I still had a fun night and she seemed to too. The gripping feeling that had been plaguing me the last couple of days have gone away too. I felt much better and a lot less grumpy when I was around her. The silence between us began to stretch into an awkwardness so I ended it before it got any worse, "Good night, Princess Ke'aysha." 

She smiled and started opening her door, "Good night, Alpha Alexander." 

My breath caught in my throat and an engulfing sensation of lust overcame me. It was Kaseem. 

Say it again! Make her say our name again! 

Kaseem. Stop. This is supposed to be an innocent thing. 

Look at her legs. They're so edible.

My eyes dragged down to her heels and then up her calves, which were strangely muscled, and then to her thighs. They were thick. And I was suddenly craving them. I wanted them to wrap around my head as I-

Mate with her now. 

I clenched my fists, stopping every primal urge to take what I want from her right now. I let her step into the room and gave me one last angelic look before she closed the door on my face. Something that needed to happen to stop me. 

She's so angelic and pretty and innocent. Ruin that. Make her filthy. Make her dirty. Ruin those pretty little knees of hers and give her rugburn. Make her submit!

Kaseem. Shut up. She's not ready for it yet. 

Then make her.

Kaseem, are you crazy? That's rape.

We're the Alpha. Who's going to say no to us? 

Anybody can say no to us. You know we're not above the law. 

So you've thought about just taking what you want, right?

No! I wouldn't do that to her-

Oh, please. I know what you know. You wanted to bend her over, pin her down and ravish her.

She wouldn't want that. I'm going to hurt her again and neither are you.  

Is it really hurting her if that's what she wants? You know deep in her wolf wants to mate just like I do. You're simply giving her what she wants. You're being a good mate by giving her what she's denying herself.
