My Beloved Mate

Questions answered

"Nice." Anastasia was in love with the car. It was a black Lamborghini with gold rims. Nice touch.

"Well I know you're a car person I thought that we should ride in style." Alexander responded. He walked to the passenger side and opened the door for Anastasia.

As they drove off Anastasia was looking out of the window into the night. Admiring her hometown.

"Where do you want to go?" Alexander asked. You could tell he was a little tense by the way his body was and by his voice.

"Um the Grand Hotel Continental is really nice." Anastasia suggested. It was a little outside her dad's territory, but she was safe with Alexander.

"Grand Hotel it is." He typed it into the GPS and they were on their way.

It was silent in the car. Not an awkward silence, but a comfortable one.

When they arrived, there were cameras surrounding their car. Remembering their time in London, the vampire hotspot, they were accustomed to the paparazzi.

Thankfully the windows were tinted so the flashes weren't blinding.

"You can run from them, but you can't hide from them." Anastasia joked. Alexander gave a tight smile. He got out the car and rushed to get Anastasia's door. When she got out everyone was shooting photos and asking a bunch of questions.

"What are you two doing here?"
"Are you two mates?
"Does your father know about you two?"

Not answering any questions, they rushed into the lobby.

A man rushed to grab our bags. He looked at the couple with astonishment.

"Prince Alexander and Ms. Lup-" The hotel worker was cut short with a warning glare by Alexander. "Mr. and Mrs. Archibald, welcome to Grand Hotel Continental. Would you like to stay in our Presidential suite or is there something else you have in mind?" The man asked.

"That will be fine." Was all Anastasia said. She gave Alexander a weird look regarding to name change but didn't ask about it. To be honest, she liked the ring of it.

A bellhop came and grabbed the couple's bags and motioned them to follow him.

While they were in the elevator, the bellhop was trying to sneak glances at Anastasia. She paid no attention to him. Alexander though was staring at him, daring him to take another look at his mate.

When they got to their suite the bellhop placed their bags in the master bedroom and hurried out not even worrying about a tip.

"I don't like the way men look at you." Alexander stated.

"Aw don't worry baby, I'm all yours" Anastasia walked up to him and ran her hands down his shirt. "So.. Where's your London accent?" Anastasia asked. Laying out on the bed. Alexander walked up to her and started moving his hand up and down her thigh.

"Same reason how your Romanian accent is fading away. I've been traveling. Ok, my turn." He sat down by Anastasia. "What did Octavia mean when she said that your wolf may be finally coming out?" Anastasia let out a deep breath then sat up.

"Do you know Desdemona?" Anastasia asked. He nodded his head with a worried look wondering what she had to do with her wolf.

"When I was born, there was this huge celebration and stuff, because I was the Alpha's firstborn. Everyone was invited except her. Of course she crashed the party and pretty much ruined it. She took my wolf and hid her deep inside of me to where she can never come out. It was sorta like a reenactment of Sleeping Beauty." Anastasia joked.

"Why would you joke about that? She took your wolf!"Alexander stared at her in disbelief.

"I've learned to make light of the situation. I've lived with a dormant wolf my whole life. Were there ever problems? Yes. Did people make fun of me for it? Yes. But I think I turned out just fine if you ask me." Anastasia was a little annoyed.

"Anyway why did you make the man down there say Mr. & Mrs. Archibald?" Anastasia asked.

"Well we're mates are we not?" Anastasia nodded her head. "Well then people should refer to us as a married couple then." Alexander reasoned.

"We're aren't married though." Anastasia responded.

"One day." Was all Alexander said before he walked out of the bedroom.

"Wait where are you going?" Anastasia mentally slapped her head. It was embarrassing the amount of neediness was in her voice.

Alexander gave her a warm smile. "No where, darling. Just making a quick phone call.

When he walked off, Anastasia leaned back on the bed. Being bored, she decided to take a quick shower. Anastasia grabbed some pj's from her duffel bag and went to the bathroom.

She undressed herself and stepped in the shower. As she washed her body she heard the bathroom door open. In walked Alexander with a smirk on his face. Anastasia, knowing what he was trying to do, didn't let him win the little game.

She continued to wash herself, taking long glances at him while she was moving the loofa around her body, covering herself up with soap.

His eyes turned into a deep purple unlike his regular silver eyes. She rinsed her body off, moving her hands along her body, slowly, to help rinse the soap off.

As she turned off the water she stepped out of the shower. "May you hand me a towel?" She asked.

Alexander shook his head. His eyes never leaving hers. She rolled her eyes and walked to the cabinet and reached for a towel and slowly, torturously dried herself off.

When she finished, Anastasia reached for her clothes but Alexander grabbed her wrist before she could.

"What?" Anastasia asked innocently, as if she did not try to seduce him.

Alexander, his eyes still purple picked her up and threw her over his back. She let out a little yelp out of surprise.

He walked to the bedroom and threw her on the bed. He got on top of her and just stared at her. Anastasia, uncomfortable under his gaze, hugged her arms around her body trying to hide from him.

"Don't. Please. I just want to look at you. Admire what fate has given me." Alexander pleaded. He moved her arms to her sides and tugged on the towel a little bit asking if he could take it off.

Anastasia nodded her head, unable to speak due to her mate's intoxicating scent.

He slowly unfolded it. As if he was unraveling a beautifully wrapped present.

"Every time I look at you, you get more and more beautiful." He kissed Anastasia's lips ever so lightly.

"That's the most gentle you've ever been in bed." Anastasia grinned at Alexander.

"I can be gentle, little wolf," Alexander kissed her neck, "let me show you."
