Chapter 41: Beckett

I rush out of our shared quarters, not wanting to say something out of anger and hurt Katrina's feelings even more than I already have. As I storm down the stairs, I find myself angry at Katrina for not caring enough to talk to me before completing the mating bond with Luka, after I asked her not to, but also angry at myself.

If what Miles said was true and Luka was the heir to the Kingdom of Tartarus, and what Samael found out about Katrina's bond with Luka, it would make sense that he was her mate. I wanted to turn around and apologize for my burst of anger, but I was too ashamed of my behavior toward my mate.

I know my anger toward Katrina is slightly misplaced. I do understand the pull of the mate bond and how hard it is to control, but I also know that I've been wanting to mate with Katrina since I first glanced at her, and I've been holding myself back, waiting for her to accept me as her mate, not wanting to force a connection on her. It feels like Katrina doesn't have the same respect for me as I do for her. My chest hurt at that thought, and I decided that moping over why Katrina slept with Luka, cementing their bond, wouldn't help my anger, especially if I kept hurting myself with thoughts that may not be true.

Instead of focusing on Katrina and her bond with Luka, I instead tu

I make my way out of Divine Academy, ignoring the students who tried to gain my attention as I headed toward the ocean. I knew the only person I could get answers from was my father, Posideon, Zeus's left-hand man. Before diving into the water, I stripped myself bare, filling my lungs with the taste of the ocean water as my magical power shimmered throughout the water, allowing my body to breathe while swimming deep into the ocean's depths; as I head toward my home, the city of Atlantis.

Atlantis is located in the deepest part of the Mediterranean Sea; an average citizen of the Sea Kingdom wouldn't be able to swim to Atlantis from Divine Academy, but I was the heir to the kingdom, and the Sea listened to my commands. The ocean waves swirl around my body, wrapping me into an underwater tornado propelling me toward my homeland. I close my eyes, letting my inner eye be soothed by the sounds of the waves crashing together and the whales calling for their mates. I listen to the calls of the nearby sirens, their voices which once soothed me and lured me to them, and the pleasure I found between their legs no longer affecting my body. My arousal was only stirred by one woman lately. I shake my head once more as my thoughts drift toward Katrina. Opening my eyes, I see the golden city coming into view. I command the ocean to release me from its grasp, choosing to swim the rest of the way home, needing the peace of the swim to calm my already fried nerves before meeting with my father.

Within minutes, I reach the city gates, the guards immediately opening the gates to Atlantis the moment they saw me, already knowing who I was. I let my body drift down to the paved road, choosing to walk the rest of the way to the palace, stopping to greet and chat with the local citizens, letting them know that the future heir to the throne cared about their well-being.

As I enter the palace doors, Aegassa, the male siren who chose to work in the kingdom, greets me, "Prince Beckett, we weren't expecting you. How can I serve you today, your highness."

"Aegassa, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Beckett? You've known me since I was in diapers. You've been my mentor for as long as I can remember. I should be serving you, not the other way around."

"And as I have told you, Prince Beckett. I use your title to show the respect that you've more than earned. It has been my pleasure to serve the Thetis family, and I will continue to do so; now, as I asked before, how can I help your highness today?" Aegassa asks after chastising me.

"I need to speak with my father," I reply.

Suddenly an onset of pleasure rolls through my body, "After I've washed up in my room. Let him know that I wish to meet him within the hour."

I quickly rush toward my room as wave after wave of pleasure runs through my body, causing my cock to become fully erect. The stiffness of the erection caused me pain as it demanded to be touched and caressed until I released my desire.

As soon as I reach my corridors, I slam the door to my foyer shut, locking it behind me. I quickly release my hard cock from my jeans, freeing it and giving it more space to grow. I bend over the Buffett table in my walkway as I take my cock into my hand, quickly stroking it as the pleasure continues to wash through my body. I don't ease into my stroke. I pull my length tightly and quickly, seeking immediate release. Images of Katrina riding my cock roll through my mind as I touch myself. I can visualize her breasts bouncing up and down as she rides me, and I thrust my hips into her. I tighten my grip, imagining it's her tight cunt squeezing against me as she orgasms all over, coating me with her juices, as I hold her tight little body against me, thrusting harder and harder into spilling my seed deep inside her. Just as the erotic scene finishes playing in my head, I spill my seed onto my foyer floor, gasping at the intensity of my orgasm. It wasn't until I slumped down on the chair beside the buffet table that I realized the pleasure coursing through my body. I felt the same pleasure when Katrina took Aphelion, Samael, and Luka as her mate. She'd finally mated with Miles, making me the only one not fully mated to her.

Knowing that she's mated with everyone but me makes me want to prove my worth to her; I'm more determined than ever to gather information from my father, hoping to find out something helpful regarding Katrina's with the council. I use my water affinity to spray my foyer floor, ridding it of the cum I spilled on it, before leaving my foyer and heading toward my room to shower and dress for my meeting with my father.
