Chapter 20

Alex’s POV

its been a day already since I got the mark in my right hand and I'm not doing well. not that I hate life or anything but I feel tired and suicidal. the reason, well because I haven't seen Blaise for a whole day. the last time I saw him was yesterday afternoon when he started to act weird.

not that I don't want to see him or haven't tried because I have, but every time I get close to the door my dad pops up out of nowhere sending me to do odd jobs.

I had thought all about the marking with Blaise last night and I came to the conclusion that he's my mate and he'll eventually mark me anyway, so why bother running away from it. right?

I walk towards the fridge and grab a water bottle and begin to drink from it.

it seems that the more I think about Blaise the more I start to shake like the last time I didn't see him for a whole day. it seems very weird. do all mates go through this?  'Hell'

I admit it's a real pain in the ass having to deal with the constant shaking of your body without cure or reason.

I sigh as I'm done drinking the whole bottle and I hit myself on the fridge over and over. I'm trying to get the weird images of Blaises eyes out of my head but it won't work.

this literally has me feeling wasted.

I walk over to the 'hanging out' room as I sit on the couch and try to watch TV. 'it's so boring'

I try to lay down in different positions to try and look at the show from a different point of view but nothing works.

it takes me a couple of minutes before I finally feel comfortable with the series and the couch.

"Alex!" Dylan screams as he stands in front of the TV.

"Seriously, dude! I'm trying to watch this! can't you see the girl is about to get raped?! it's the second most crucial part of the series besides the number one most crucial part, which is when she seduces the rapist and cuts off his dick!" I yell at him mad as he looks at me in disgust.

"you take enjoyment in that?" he asks looking at the TV. "well at least the girl is hot"

disgusted by his man thirst I sit up and look up at him. "okay what do you want? this better be important"

"umm... about that. your dad and I went to go check up on your little boyfriend over there in his room and well we didn't find him."

I look up at him in disbelief "what?"

"your boyfriend is gone and we can't find him," he says nervously.

'great, what else- no maybe I shouldn't say it. its bad karma'

"alright I want you to send me your best trackers out there to help me look for him."

after hours of constant looking I decide to stop the search and begin again tomorrow in the morning. 

not that I don't care for my mate enough to go look for him some more but I'm really tired. I walk inside of my room and I take a shower since I feel sweaty and sticky. 

once I'm done I change into my undergarment, a pair of dark blue skinny jeans with a light blue and black sleeveless shirt. after drying out my hair I walk out of the bathroom and the smell of mint hits my face.

I bump into what seems like a wall in the middle of my room. 'shit!'

I look up and I see Blaise standing in front of me with a smile on his face. he's wearing a grey short sleeved shirt with black jeans and a belt. 

I step back the moment I look at his eyes. they aren't the usual light blue they are dark blue just like the day he had drank that drug from mikal.

"hey Blaise!" I try to act friendly as I walk away slowly. "where have you been? we were looking for you all over! haha" I pull my hair behind my ears and he chuckles in amazement.

"its been a whole day Alex. why didn't you come?" he asks with a glint of sadness in his eyes.

I swallow hard as I smile and slowly back away while he moves closer to me. I begin to debate on whether I should take the risk and go left or back and I decide to go backwards. which was a bad move by the way.

now I'm pinned by him against the wall and I have nowhere to run. "umm Blaise, I'm serious... I was worried."

he looks down at my body and I can't help but blush. "you look good in blue"

"what?"

"you match my eyes" he pulls me towards him as he puts his arms on my waist. "Alex" he sniffs my neck taking in my scent. "you were gonna come right?" 

taking notice of his sad tone I sigh "of course, you dummy. I was just busy all day I had to rest before I went to see you, but instead I ended up having to do more work since I went out in the woods to look for you."

he laughs sending vibrations down his chest. "sorry, I was following you." he looks at me now "somehow I was able to hide my scent."

"how?" I ask confused "my hand started glowing and then I realized that no one was able to trace my scent while I was right there."

I sigh "don't do that again. I was scared that you might have disappeared for good."

"Alex"

"what?"

"nothing, I just like to say your name" he says with a husky voice in my ear. 

"oh" feeling embarrassed for my lack of words I hide my face on his arm.

he begins to kiss my neck slowly making the small shocks of electricity roam my body. I gasp for air when he suddenly pushes me against the wall and he kisses me in the lips.

his kiss is needy and rough. something about the way it feels makes it irresistible.

I begin to pant when he stops the kiss and begins to go down my neck. 

I moan the second his teeth begin to playfully bite my neck where the bite mark is supposed to be I immediately cover my mouth. feeling embarrassed for the weird sound I just made I try my hardest to stay quiet but it seems merely impossible.

the feeling of his touch sends shivers all over my body making my body respond without my permission. my voice comes out without warning and I'm trapped in the middle of desire.

finally I look at his eyes and they frustrate me. the deepness of the color enravels me in desire and lust. when he looks at me I can't seem to break free.

its as if his eyes control mine without trouble. all I have to do is look.

"Blaise" I find myself saying over and over craving his touch. he puts his hands under my shirt and I arch my back with a moan escaping my lips.

"Alex" he says as he kisses my neck and I get so lost in the satisfaction of his touch that I don't notice him bite my neck until it begins to burn.

I'm about to scream when I feel the most wonderful sensation. its a feeling similar to his touch.

I find myself moaning in pleasure as he pulls out his canines and he smiles. 

"Blaise you just bit me" I say as he licks his lower lip.

"no, I just marked you" is the last thing I hear from him before I say.

"don't think I'll let you get away with this that easily" as I suddenly fall into the pitch black darkness.

 $Chapter Blaises POV

after I marked Alex she had fainted and when she woke up she tried to attack me but by just touching the place where I marked her she melted in my arms. she was mad because I would touch her there every time she was mad or was about to go nuts over something.

well its already been a whole day since the incident and we are actually on our way home. well our new home.

since we have the royal marks we have to live in the castle and rule the kingdom. 

I'm not very worried about Alex ruling since shes a fair person but sitting next to me is a rogue and the small boy that she found.

she thought it would be a great punishment to have me sit with guys instead of her. I wouldn't have minded if she sat in front of me in the same car but shes not...

instead the person in front of me is her dad and shes in another car in front us.

'its all your fault'

'well sorry for wanting my mate' Axel says inside of my head.

'you were strong enough to suppress the feeling you just didn't want to... now shes mad at me.'

'look I just wanted my mate, a normal wolf marks his mate immediately you better be happy I waited for so long' he says with a long sigh.

it's been hours since I last touched her and my hands are itching to have her with me. since I bit her our bond has gotten stronger and I can't help but feel down for not being able to touch her.

of course I've gotten better at controlling my desire for her touch and of the mate bond but there's always this part of me that wants her.

"you're her mate huh?" the little kid says as I sigh.

"yeah" the boy has light brown hair with black eyes and a scar on his cheek. "Blaise" I extend my hand and he takes it.

"Geovani" he says as he looks at the man besides him look tense. "he's Patrick." the boy points at the blond guy.

"hey"  I say as he looks at me and grins.

"so you're her sweat heart?" he asks observing me. "well I gotta admit you've got the looks."

"Patrick are you trying to pick a fight?" geovanI asks frustrated "were inside of a car. could you at least wait until we stop."

"don't worry kid. I wasn't trying to pick no fight. I was just curious to see what kind of man would of attract the attention of that crazy beauty." Patrick says as he looks out of the window "shes known to be one of the most ruthless of all people."

"why?" I ask curious when I hear Richard sigh in front of me.

"well, there were rumors on how she would kill just about as any rogue who passed her way." Patrick looks down at his feet. "at first I didn't believe it, I mean how heartless could such a beautiful woman be right? but... one day my friend Rex and I were passing through the area and she killed him. didn't even let him explain we were passing through."

Richard looks ahead on the road and I'm hit with something similar to disappointment. 'would she really do that? is there a side of Alex I don't know of?'

"she had a reason." Richard says in a loud gruff voice catching all of our attention. "that day I was told of two rogues passing through my land. I was about to order my pack to go after them and imprison them but Alex suggested that we should leave them alone. since they were only passing through." he clears his throat. "I listened to her because I liked her quick response but it turns out those two rogues decided to take a rest and sleep there for a while. one of them slept throughout all of it but the other had found a girl from our pack in the woods and tried to rape her." he sighs "when we got the news Alex was the most angered by the action that the rogue had taken. my guards were able to save the girl in time but Alex shifted and went after him. he went towards his friend and they both tried to escape but Alex killed him in front of his friend." silence lingers the atmosphere and I hear Patrick almost choke. 

"that's why you were left unharmed. not because you ran fast enough, but because you were innocent. Alex knew that." he looks back at Patrick "Patrick I'm sorry for your loss."

"I'm sorry, I should have known." Patrick says in a low voice.

"it's not your fault. besides the girl ended up safe and sound in the end." Richard says as he looks to the front of him "it looks like we are here." the car stops and we all climb out of the car to see a white and grey castle made out of marble in front of us.

'it's Huge'

Alex's POV

we stop in front of a pair of big gates. we all get down since the gates are locked and we can't seem to go in any further. I admit this castle has some beauty in it and its quite big.

"leave you aren't welcome here" a guard appears out of nowhere.

"my name is Richard from the silver blade pack" my father says.

"yes I know" the guard looks at my father with disgust "you aren't welcomed here, orders of the king."

"is the king here?" I ask immediately 

"no, he and the queen went to handle some affairs at the moonlight shadow pack." he says looking at me as if he expects me to lower my gaze.

 I breathe in and out before I look at the guard one more time. "open the gates"

he looks at me in shock due the probability that he feels my order slowly working on him but he keeps his ground and ignores my command. "no, now leave"

I look at him for a while using the skills I used to use to make people uncomfortable and he begins to look away to escape my burning gaze. "alright!" I try walking back to the car but my father calls after me.

"Alex! stop! you know I cant take you to the pack house anymore. you don't belong there!" he looks at the guard with piercing eyes "shes the new queen, we can't take her to my pack since she belongs here now."

the guard looks at my father and then me confused. "dad why are you trying to explain it to him? can't you see explaining something like this to a person like him is like trying to explain to a human that dogs and wolves aren't the same thing!" I say angry as I lift up my right arm to point my hand towards the guard.

the guard immediately grabs my wrist and pins my arm down on top of the car. "why do you have this?! who are you?!"

"let go! your hurting me!" I say looking up at him as he twists my hand. 'shit!'

"let her go." I hear Blaise command the guard in a deep clear voice. it sends shiver down my back as the guard immediately lets go.

I rub my wrist as I get pulled into someones chest sending sparks all over my back and waist. 

Blaise puts his face on my neck and kisses my mark I bite my lower lip trying to suppress a moan from escaping my lips. "I'm still mad at you"

he laughs softly in my ear as he whispers in a low manly voice "I know" sending shivers all over my body and heat all over my cheeks and neck.

I try to step away from him but he holds my waist tightly.

"I don't understand why do the two of you have the royal marks?" the guard asks trying to ignore our little scene. 

"we don't know" my father begins "shes my daughter and the daughter of the queen"

"I never knew the queen had another child besides Fredrick. it not possible."

"actually it is" a man says coming from behind the guard. "her name is Alex Sage for a reason you know. Kendra wanted to name her first child after her own aunt Alexandra Nelsen, and my mother." everyone looks at the man confused, but me. I just glare at him with anger fueling inside me. I knew him; the day that woman told me who she was she presented to me her most precious family member. her cousin and my suppose uncle, Eric Nelsen.

'what the hell is he doing here?'

his light brown hair from before has begun to turn white and his features have changed. he looked so full of life back then and now he just look old and tired. his deep black eyes look at me in amusement as he closes his eyes and runs his hand through his hair. "Alex, don't glare at me please."

"someone told her about me finding my mate, who was it?" I ask trying to hide my anger.

he looks at me for a while "it was me"

"how did you know? I don't remember telling you"

he looks at the ground now as he swallows hard "I was ordered by her to follow you around and report to her anything new about your life."

at the moment those words process in my mind I try to break free from Blaise "you fucking bastard!" I try hitting Blaises arm "Blaise let go of me! I'm gonna fucking kill him!" 

Blaise then lifts me up with his arm as he carries me towards the front of the second car where GeovanI and Patrick wait.

the moment they see me they both get out of the car with worried expressions "what's wrong?" Patrick asks.

"could you guys go to where Richard is and wait for us there." Blaise says calmly as I'm still struggling to get out of his hold while screaming bad words at him. the two look at how angry I am and decide to leave as fast as they can.

Blaise pushes me into the front the car so my face is almost touching the cold metal. "calm down Alex" he whispers in my ear and I stop struggling due to the shot of electricity that just passed through my body.

"let go Blaise, or ill hurt you" I say trying to move away from his grip.

"you aren't mad Alex, your just frustrated." he says with a sigh.

I chuckle "oh really?" 

"yes" he says kissing my neck making my knees go numb. 'fuck'

"Blaise he had no right"

"I know how you feel." he says in a husky voice.

"no you don't"

"I just found out a male was spying on my mate for who knows how long. you know the moment I heard him say that I thought about how he could have been watching you bathe or shower and I wanted to kill him but I didn't." his grip becomes tighter "I decided to be the grown man here and not make a scene, Alex we need to learn to control our anger or else things will only get worse from here on out."

I sigh as I let my muscles relax "but if I do that then ill always be frustrated. how am I gonna get rid of it huh?" I ask as I turn so that I'm now looking at him.

his eyes are their usual light blue and his hair is dark like always. "how do you suggest I get rid of my frustration?"

I look at his light blue eyes as they fill up with realization "umm... I don't know... you can do sports, or learn to box, or something"

I chuckle "I hate sports Blaise. my dad has always made me do them and it become a real pain in the ass."

he looks at me in sadness when I sigh. 'I really hate seeing him like this'

"well maybe there might be way you can help."

"what?" he looks at me confused as I pull his neck towards me and I press my lips on his forcefully almost making him fall but he places his hands on the top of the car and gets his balance back.

without giving him a chance to pull away I begin to enjoy the feeling of his soft lips against mine. his minty scent makes me pull towards him even more in hunger as he begins to breath heavily. he pushes me against the car as I wrap my legs around his waist.

I feel my heartbeat pick up making my body sweat. we finally break away panting trying to catch our breaths only to have Blaise hold my face with both of his hands and press his lips on mine.

there's a difference in this kiss though. on the first one I felt as if I was in control but on this one I feel that Blaise is completely in control. I try to fight it and gain control of it but he puts his hand under my shirt as he touches my back lightly. I fight the urge to moan but he touches my mark on my neck lightly with his other hand and that does it.

I immediately melt under his touch and I let out a moan as I feel him smirk. 'damn you'

I finally decide to break away from his kiss as I slightly push him away from him while panting. "alright, alright my frustration is gone." I put my legs down as I take a step away from him. 

he chuckles "what? was that too much for you to take?" he mockingly asks me.

I sigh "I think you make me even more frustrated. maybe I should just ask Patrick to help me out with that."

"no, no, no. sorry Alex I won't make fun of you anymore okay?" Blaise asks as he pulls me towards him giving me a puppy face.

"well I don't-"

"please! Alex! I swear" he put his forehead on mine.

"alright, alright" I look away from him "I won't ask anyone else besides you to help me with my frustration."

he smiles as I pull away and begin to walk towards where my dad and everyone else is when I hear Blaise say "so were you really gonna ask Patrick?"

I turn to look at a worried Blaise and I smile. "no, he wouldn't be of any help either way" I walk closer to him as I put my hand on his lower abs cursing the thin material of his shirt for being in the way of his skin and mine. 'damn this stupid shirt'

I slowly put my hands under his shirt and he stiffens at my touch. I feel the warm tingly sensation of our skin rubbing against each other and I sigh. "no one else besides you could ever satisfy me"

I feel his muscles relax as lets out a soft breath. "we should go now"

I pull my hands away from him and I begin to walk when I feel his arms wrap around my waist as we continue to walk he places his head on my neck. "sooo, how many pups do you want to have?"

I chuckle "you're so stupid"
