Paula
“Anne is Xayden’s true mate and my best friend” Frankie stated.
I froze once I was able to process what he said fully.
“What?” I asked in with my both eyes wide like saucers.
“W… what do you mean by that? What do you mean by Xayden’s true mate?” I quizzed as I stared into Frankie’s eyes in confusion.
“Yes Paula. Her name is Anne Barley. She is in fact Xayden’s actual mate and also one of my best friends. We were really close when we were kids but all that ended when she suddenly went missing about 10 years ago. I really tried my best to search for her but there was only so much I could do. I wasn’t able to find her and my father was not responsive when I asked for his help.” he explained before sitting down beside me.
“I had given up hope that I would ever find her until some days before the mate bond trial. Xayden came to strike a deal to exchange you for the lost Anne.” He said and my heart rate increased at the thought of what Xayden had done.
“Did you agree?” I inquired.
“Of course not!” Frankie exclaimed with a frown.
“Why would you think that I would ever do such a thing to you? You are my mate for Christ sake!” He stated forcefully.
‘Yeah! His mate and nothing more’ I thought as I bowed my head and started fiddling with my fingers nervously.
“K… Frankie. what am I to you exactly?” I asked in a low tone without taking my eyes off of my fingers for a second.
I waited for his answer but it never came.
A lump started to form in my throat, I held my breath, waiting.
I forced myself to swallow the lump as I didn’t want to seem weak and pathetic in front of Frankie. I was in the process of trying to force a smile and ask him to continue with his explanation when I felt his hand on my chin.
He tilted my head up gently wiped the tears at the corner of my eyes and gazed into my eyes as he said “You mean the world to me Paula. You are not just my mate but my partner and Luna. I envision spending the rest of my life by your side alongside our pups.” He said with the gentlest voice I’ve ever heard from a man.
I blushed and my heart immediately warmed up to his words.
So I did mean a lot to him or that’s what he claimed.
The issue was that I didn’t really know how true his words were.
Xayden had also promised the same when he took me away from my father’s house but all I faced from him was pain and misery.
I shook those thoughts out of my head and told Frankie to proceed with his explanation. He nodded and continued after noticing that I was satisfied with his answer.
“So as I was saying, Xayden asked for an exchange and I refused sternly. At first I refused to ponder on it and went about my daily life but I had a nagging feeling that what Xayden said about holding Anne captive was true. So I arranged a date with Xayden to see Anne in his pack house.” He stated.
“When I saw her, she was bruised and broken beyond recognition. She said that he had held her captive for ten years straight and tortured her.” He continued.
“When I told her that Xayden was asking for an exchange, she had immediately asked me to refuse that notion. It was after speaking with Anne that I found out that she was mates with Xayden. She told me that he wouldn’t kill her and that I shouldn’t believe him.”
“After confronting Xayden about hiding the fact that Anne was his true mate, I left his pack house. A few days later, a mangled body was left on the borders of my pack with a note from Xayden. The build, height, scent and hair of the body seemed so much like that of Anne that I couldn’t help but believe that Xayden had truly killed Anne.” He stated.
“If she was dead already, how did she turn up here?” I inquired already sensing foul play.
“She said that she blacked out due to food given by a stranger and woke up to find herself here. I don’t know if releasing her to me was a ploy devised by Xayden but all I know Is that he can never succeed.” He replied.
My brows immediately furrowed as I pondered what he had said. I had a feeling that something was up about this Anne’s story. Call it gut instincts or the fact that I have seen the blueprint of Xayden’s pack house. The place was built like a fortress and even his dungeon Albeit dingy and old couldn’t be broken out of easily. Plus, how was it that someone snuck an unconscious person out and they still weren’t noticed?
“Frankie! This whole thing seems a bit fishy to me.” I queried.
“I understand what you are saying but know that whatever scheme Xayden has planned to do while Anne is with me won’t work. I will make sure to get guards to protect her” He announced.
“That is not what I’m implying Frankie. I mean that it is Anne herself I suspect because her story does not add up in the least bit. Do you think that she could be…..” I trailed of as Frankie interrupted me.
“Don’t speak like that Paula. I trust Anne as we have been friends for years. She had even told me during my last visit not to save her and that I should forget about her. She said that she had no hope left and that I shouldn’t sacrifice my own mate for her. I was the one who had assured her that she shouldn’t lose hope and that I would find a way to find her.” He said.
My doubts eased a bit but I still had a ton of questions my mind about her. I didn’t voice them out though lest Frankie thinks that I just don’t like his friend.
“Paula, I know you think that something is going on between us but it isn’t so. I would never cheat on you and especially with my best friend.” Frankie said as he directed my face till I was staring him straight in the eyes.
I could see the sincere emotions that he had for me glistening in his eyes.
As I stared into his eyes, I finally got the courage to ask the nagging questions deep in my mind.
“Are you going to ever get tired and leave me? Is the fact that I am a witch going to be a turn off for you? Will…..” I trailed off as he interrupted me.
“I have been searching for my mate for a long time while refusing different female advances. So, why would I leave you just when I found you? I told you, you are stuck with me like glue. To hell with whoever says we won’t be together. Witch or not, You are mine.” He asserted with a growl that immediately sent heat running to my core.
He seemed to have sensed my arousal because he groaned and immediately dived for my neck.
“God, you smell so good.” He groaned in between nibbling on my collar bone.
I didn’t know how the atmosphere went from heartfelt to sexual but I liked it.
He plastered kisses from my collarbone up to my jawline. All I could do was shut my thighs tightly in an attempt to stop the intense heat that was pooling between my legs.
He sucked on the bridge between my jawline and neck and I basically melted into his arms as my back arched.
He seemed to have noticed that he hit a sensitive spot because he smiled against my skin and kept attacking that
By the time he had enough, I was already a mess. I was sure my panties was soaked and my skin would be littered in hickeys.
Before I could regain my bearings, he had already gone at my lips.
My body was on fire as I tasted his sweet flavor through his mouth.
We went at it without stopping for air and I could feel my head becoming light.
He soon released me and we were both gasping for air while staring passionately at each other.
Once he calmed a bit, he motioned to carry me towards the bed. My heart started beating erratically as I was placed on the bed.
“Calm down Paula. I know you aren’t ready for that big step, that’s why I want to teach your body so many ways you can be pleasured without sex” he said.
“Can I go on?” He inquired and I needed hesitantly.
He started using his index finger to trace the outline of my lips then he moved down down to my neck ever so slowly. Making sure to give me some occasional scratches with his fingernails to heighten the pleasure. He moved towards my breast and it was then I panicked but he quickly calmed me down.
“Baby! It’s gonna be alright just trust me.” He said.
“Do you trust me?” He inquired and as I stared into his eyes, all I could mutter was a low shaky “yes”
NARRATOR.
In an dark room, the cloaked figure identified as a woman from before could be seen sitting on a rocking chair while the old woman knelt besides her.
“How was it?” The cloaked figure asked with a dark expression.
“Mistress the plan has been set in motion and it has already begun. They wouldn’t suspect a thing.” The old woman replied.
“Good. Make sure you don’t fail this time.” She said to the old woman.
She then turned to stare at the wall with a strange glint in her eyes.
“Well well well. Chosen one, it seem you aren’t going to succeed this time around. Watch out as I am coming for you” She said as she began cackling.
