Werewolf
Sold by my Alpha, bought by my Mate Chapter 109: The king's request
Mildred
In the morning, I use to meet with the ladies of the castle, those who served the king. At first I felt they were a little reluctant to accept that I was a human Luna, but as time went on and they got to know me, they accepted me, and gave me the best advice.
And every day, I counted the days until Asher would return and we would go to his pack. I hoped it would be over soon.
I was not naive, I knew that Randall's plans will not be over from one moment to the next, but I did not understand why we could not face him directly from River Ash, and not be imprisoned here in the castle, because that was how I felt more and more.
In the afternoons I paint and wander around the castle, and the nights were the worst, the time when I missed him the most. I felt that we had really spent very little time together after our ceremony.
It had been such a long time since the dispute with Randall begin, and Asher and I had enjoyed very little of our time together.
It seemed unfair, and perhaps because I felt the need to be with him and missed him, I began to have dreams that not only included my mate, but also took me back to his pack, to those very happy times when we were together.
"Do you remember the first time you came here?" he asked me as he took me on horseback to see the mountain that I loved so much.
It seemed to me that this mountain had been the first hint of him and me together, as if it was a small sign that he was for me.
I saw the big wolf standing upright, looking up at the moon, and I remembered my little cabin in the pack. How things had changed! Now he and I were mates, marked and together, as I felt it should always have been.
"How could I forget? That visit to your beautiful pack is something I will always remember," I said to him, and he smiled.
"Our pack. You asked me how I could ride if I were a wolf," he adds, making me laugh.
"Well, I must admit you look great riding, and I love being in your arms like this," I say, and he would hold me close as we continued our ride through the mountains.
"And do you remember our visit to the hot springs?" he asked, and as we rode on, he runs his hand down my stomach until he reached between my legs. My skin bristle as his hand continued down.
"It was the first time I touched you, as I really wanted... in that place my fingers always longed to reach," he said, and his hand continued down, and I woke up startled.
I was sweating and agitated from this dream that was as delicious as it was painful.
"I miss him so much, I think I'm going to go crazy any minute," I say to myself with a sigh.
I get up, I felt like I had to get out of here because everything reminded me of him and it hurt.
I don't understand… I don't have a wolf and I shouldn't suffer like this. Certainly he should be in more pain, but I swear I was on the verge of insanity.
I walked out of the hall and onto one of the balconies, and I met someone I didn't expect to see.
"Your Majesty," I say, bowing slightly.
"Luna," he says, and he didn't seem at all surprised to see me.
"You were looking for me...", I dared to say, and he had a small gesture of surprise on his face, which he quickly hid.
"I must say yes, I have long been intrigued by your gifts, a human Luna was enough rare... but one that can see the future... " he confessed.
"Thank you for your sincerity "
"I know we didn't get off on the right foot, and while I won't apologize for that, I acknowledge it. I'm not much of an adept or a fan of humans, but I have to admit that you impressed me," he confessed as I watched him intently.
"I see..." I replied, and he motioned for me to walk past him.
"I am not used saying I am impressed. I've seen so much in my long live. But something tells me you are even more powerful than I think or what I've been told," he said, and as we passed one of the windows I see his green eyes sparkling.
"I don't know much about my gifts either, sir. I never knew I had them, nor was I ever prepared for them," he confessed.
"No one ever prepares us for what we are or what we might be. That's something we learn along the way. I never wanted to be king, it was just something I had to do," he said, and this confession struck me.
The reality is that I didn't know much about him, and the only one who seemed to have information was Jeremiah, but I didn't think he would tell me much because he was extremely loyal to His Majesty. I wanted to ask more, but now didn't seem to be the right time.
"And I need you, Luna. Whatever you see, I need you to tell me immediately," he said.
"Of course, I'm available for anything I can help with. I will help the kingdom and all wolves and humans if I can"
"I hope you will. Tell me…" he commands.
"I just... I haven't had more dreams than missing my mate," I confessed and saw him frown.
I remembered that he didn't have a mate and didn't want one. After having Asher, I can't imagine my life without him.
"I was actually referring to other methods. Beyond your dreams," he said, and I was stunned. I didn't know what he meant.
"Other methods?"
"That's right. You certainly have the gift, it's just that you don't control it. You have to learn how to do it," he said, and I really didn't like the idea.
"Now?"
“There is no time like the present” he adds.
I thought about telling him to wait another time, maybe wait for my mate to return, Asher would undoubtedly know how to deal with this, but I was alone and had to fend for myself as well.
"Come this way," he said, leading me to his chambers, and I panic.
He must have sensed it, because he kept a little distance from me, as if to show that he had no other intentions.
I felt a little calmer when I saw that Constantine was also there. The king motioned to him and I seated in a chair, with the king sitting in front of me.
"Very well. I think we can begin."
