The Mate of the Naga Prince

Chapter 9: Safety Never Lasts

A/N: This is the chapter with suggestive rape, so please don't read if it makes you uncomfortable. Also, this chapter is poorly written because my brain is currently shut off and I can't think proporly, so I may re-write this.

"N-No! Stop!" I scream as Lucas as he shoves me against a tree. "Just relax for me mate. You'll enjoy this." Lucas hisses with a smirk. "I-I'm mated with Arthur!" I tried to push him away, but I couldn't. He was too strong. "P-Please..." I beg, tears filling my eyes.

I shoot up, my forehead covered in a cold sweat. Arthur looks at me with concern. "Are you alright love?" He asks softly. Once we got back to the burrow, I was so shaken up by Lucas, I just wanted to cuddle with Arthur. After a few minutes of cuddling, I fell asleep in his arms. Of course, I had a nightmare of Lucas. "I-I'm fine..." I whisper, wiping the tears from my face. He sighs and gently hugs me, his tail gently wrapping around my lower abdomen. "Wasss it Lucas?" He asks softly. "Yeah..." I sigh, resting my head on his chest. He gently kisses my head. "It's going to be alright love." I nod, trying to fight back more tears. I pull away from him and stand. "I-I think I just need a minute alone..." I whisper, grabbing my shoes and putting them on. "What do you mean?" He asks, sitting up. "I mean I'm going for a quick walk to clear my head." I look out of the burrow, staring at the ground. I began to grow anxious and took a step back. "On second thought..." I laugh nervously. I. Hated. Heights. Arthur sighs softly and wraps his tail around me. "I'll take you to the ground. But please, stay in my territory... I don't want you getting taken again." He whispers. I look at him. "I... don't know where your territory ends..." I admit. "The creek. It's the border between my territory and Lucas'." He explains. "Just stay away from the creek, and you'll be fine." He begins to climb down the tree, gently setting me on the ground. "Do you want me to go with you?" He asks, as if he were hopeful I would change my mind. I shake my head. "I love you Arthur, but I need to clear my head." I kiss his forehead. He sighs. "Be safe, ok?" He gently takes my hand. "I promise I will. I'll stay away from the creek." I give him a reasuring smile. He smiles nervously, letting my hand go. I give him a smile again and walk away from the burrow. I lightly brush my hair from my face, staring down at the ground. Insects scurried passed me to avoid getting squished, spiders chasing after them for their next meal. I could hear birds chirping at each other in the distance. I finally look up, seeing a deer in the distance, chewing grass. I smile, wrapping my arms around myself. It perks its ears and looks at me. We stared at each other for a minute  before it took off into the woods. I tilt my head in confusion until I saw an all too familiar tail wrap around my waist. I went to scream, but the tail covered my mouth. Lucas pulls me closer to him, chuckling darkly. I look at him, where Arthur had hit him was already healed. "I knew crossing territories was worth it." He whispers. I struggle against his grip with no prevail. "There's no use mate. You're mine now." He whispers, dragging me away across the creek. Tears streamed down my face as I continue to struggle against him.

Lucas leads me to a cave, using a bolder to cover the entrance. He light tosses me onto a surprisingly man made looking bed. "Please... let me go... I don't want to be with you..." I beg, trying to push myself as far away from him as I could. "Don't worry mate, you'll enjoy this." He smirks, slithering closer to me. He coils around me and kisses me roughly. I manage to work my arm free and smack him roughly. He barely moved, but he was clearly pissed. He slowly pulls away from me, growling. I let out a couple sobs. He sighs, his grip around me tightening. "I didn't want to do this." He whispers, his fangs showing. I scream as he sinks his fangs into my neck. He pulls away, a heat slowly spreading from my neck through my body. "What... did you do..." I pant out, trying to fight back the heat. "I told you, you'll enjoy this as much as me." He hisses. The heat finally settled in, making me pant slightly. "You... injected me with aphrodisiac?" I ask, shocked. But... that wasn't my first concern. I was in heat, and I wanted nothing more then to get rid of it. I don't care who with.
