+CHAPTER 14+ A New Boy Toy
"Told you that I wasn't lying! Look at her!" Rome said dramatically to Rebecca.
Amber looked at her mate and then at Rome and Rebecca. Darach had a worried look on his face. He was staring at Rebecca intensely as if trying to figure something out.
Amber sighed, her friends aka family was really a killjoy. If they weren't disturbed by them than Amber was sure that she could have gained all the answers to her questions. But no, how can they let that happen?
She can clearly see that just like Lucia, Darach didn't know a single thing about his kingdom and people. They are all bloody clueless.
They have no fucking idea that how much abuse the lycan mates were enduring under their rule. They seemed clueless about the way women were treated in their kingdom. A kingdom which was a hell hole for women. A nightmare.
Now Amber understood why the lycans had fallen from grace. With a clueless and hot-headed king like Darach and dumb royal family members like Lucia and the famous bastard Connor, it was only fair that they lost their respect and power in the supernatural world.
At the thought of Connor, Amber made a mental note of removing his kidney again.
The dickwad deserved this.
Lycans were once on the top of the food chain but now it seemed like that place was left empty for Amber to takeover but Amber had no interest in that position, she was happy with what she had. She can definitely bring back the fallen lycans but than again it was not her job to do so.
It was the Goddess's job~
And Amber had no intention of interfering in the Moon's job. Just like the Moon didn't interfere when Amber was thrown in the woods. That night the Moon had shined so bright as if it was enjoying Amber's pain.
The agony of a mere baby who was abandoned by her own blood~
If Nature hadn't saved her that night Amber would have died a low agonizing death. Everything that she has now she owed to the Goddess of Nature.
"O my goodness! Amber, you are hurt." Rebecca gasped in horror.
"No shit." Amber mumbled dryly, already getting tired from getting the flashback of that awful punch. The last thing she needed now was everyone reminding her that how Darach had handed her her ass in front of her own people.
"Told you! She let him hit her and then she even allowed him to carry her back to her home and as if that was not enough she's letting him stay in her home." Rome whispered to Rebecca.
Amber rolled her eyes at them. She didn't know why the hell Rome was whispering while he knew that everyone present in the room can hear him loud and clear.
Amber loved Rome with all her heart but that didn't stop him from being a pain in her arse with his loud and unfiltered mouth.
"You should have seen her getting hit by him. Dark Gods! I'm lucky that she came between me and that brute. I didn't want to step into immortality with a scarred face. You know I hate scars." Eyes fixed on Amber's injury, Rome traced his face with his fingers on the exact place where Amber was hit.
Gosh! The bastard was not going to leave her alone. Okay, she got hit. Now get over it! Rome didn't have to rub it on her face damn it!
"Rome can you please shut the fuck up!"
Amber snapped, her eyes darted towards Darach who was looking at them with wide eyes. Clearly getting a memo of Amber's weird life.
Amber decided to introduce her crazed family to Darach before Rome decided to spill Amber's dirty secrets in front of him or worse, Amber was afraid that they were going to scare him away. But anyhow It was not like Darach's family was any better than her family.
"Darach meet Rome and Rebecca. They are my family." Darach's eyes snapped towards her in surprise.
Rome and Rebecca looked at Amber in shock. It was the first time she was introducing them to someone. Mostly she didn't do this introduction thing with anyone because no one was worth her precious time.
Before Darach she had nail and bale type of relations but this hunk was Amber's mate so it was important that she introduced him to everyone. She was going to stake her claim on him for everyone to see whom he belonged to.
After all, he was going to be her future king~ If things went according to her plan otherwise it will be sad to throw him out of her life.
Even while thinking like that Amber's subconscious knew that she'll be too deep into him to let him go. . .
"And guys this is my mate and someone told me that you only get one for a lifetime so don't scare him away." Amber explained to Rome and Rebecca, giving them the clear signal that don't mess this up for her in other words she was telling Rome to keep his loud mouth sealed before she did it for him.
"But she's a.. a... a.. human." Darach smattered, pointing at Rebecca. The king looked cute in his puzzled state.
"And your point is?" Amber arched her left brow.
"Aren't we supposed to hide our existence from humans?" Amber giggled as if Darach made a silly joke.
"Yes we are but one thing that you have to know about my Queen is that she didn't follow rules. She makes them baby boy." Amber winked.
A low warning growl escaped from the king.
Ops! Maybe the king was not in the mood of making jokes.
"And I thought that she can't be crazier than this..." Rome said looking bored which in return received him a slap from Amber.
"Fucking hell, woman. I think you broke my goddamned face! Oh My God!! You better not have scared my face!" Rome shrieked like a teen girl.
Amber didn’t, but Rome was a pussy who would think a bitch slap hurts. If Amber had tried to break his face, he’d be on his way to the healing center right now instead of crying over a bloody nose.
Rome was an impulsive idiot who didn't know when to shut his loud mouth. Not until he received a blow from Amber to make his mouth shut.
"Man up Rome! It's just a little blood, you're not going to die from just a little slap. And don't open that mouth of yours if you are only going to talk shit about me in front of my mate. Dark Gods! You talk too much shit I don't know whether to offer you a tissue for you bleeding nose or toilet paper for your potty mouth." Amber glared at her retarded friend whom she had cherished from his childhood like her own baby.
"He's your mate...?" Rebecca muttered, still in shock not even sparing a glance to Rome who was busy inspecting his nose.
"Have we met before?" Darach asked Rebecca. He was looking at Rebecca oddly. Rebecca looked kinda pale under his assessing eyes. It was like a bucket of cold water was thrown over her.
Shit!
"It's your first time in our Queendom. So I don't think you have ever met her before. Unless you have come here before." Amber said a little too sweetly. Trying to save Rebecca from this situation. It won't be good for anyone if Darach found out about Rebecca's identity.
They have sacrificed so much to save Rebecca. They can't let all those sacrifices go to waste.
Darach looked from Rebecca towards his mate. Darach can feel a connection towards this human. He didn't know why, but he felt like he knew her. He can almost bet that he had met her before but where he didn't remember.
Darach felt like he was going mad. He can sense his sister and people on this land but can't see them, Darach's brother was injured and he can't help him to heal. And now he can see a human but can't figure out where they had met before. Even his inner lycan can feel a connection between them.
This place was messing up with his brain.
Darach was trapped in a territory ruled by a Queen which was a shock in itself. And his mate's loyalty towards the Queen was just a bonus of this fucked up situation. Darach had never faced difficult situations in his life.
Firstly it was his Mighty Uncle who took the responsibility for protecting and providing everyone. Darach and Connor had never cared about anything. They were always carefree. They were just the heartthrob prince of the lycans, the 'to-do list' of every female in their kingdom before they died. But it was all put to a stop when their Uncle found his mate. It was the start of their downfall.
Darach fists clenched at the thoughts of the past.
He wished his uncle never met that woman. It was funny how one small witch had put the whole kingdom of lycans on their knees.
It only took one woman to destroy them all. . .
"There.. there... no need to think that hard about her. She has always been here with me. You must have mistaken her with someone else." Darach looked at his mate who grinned crookedly at him, his heart thudded.
But Amber was too busy in patting his ass to notice his thundering heart. It seemed like his wee mate was pretty much hooked up on his ass and she can't keep her hands off him or you can say his ass. Currently, she was patting his ass in a very naughty manner.
It was not like he was complaining~ He was more than happy with her hands all over him.
When Amber tried to retract her hand from his ass, Darach held her hand in place with his bigger ones, looking wickedly at his wee mate.
An image of Amber on her hands and knees with her ass raised in air flashed in Darach's mind. His little member got excited. All the thoughts from before jumped out of his mind and were now replaced with the images of his mate fulfilling all his dirty fantasies.
A low groan escaped from his lips when Amber's eyes flashed golden.
Dear Moon! Darach can bet that he was bloody in love with this wee creature.
"Yeah and we just came to check on Amber. We will just leave now and give you guys some space. I have heard that lycans are extremely territorial of their mates, they seem to mate with them in the first twenty-four hours of their meeting. And if... look I'm not doubting you but if he's really your mate and not a new boy toy than we should give you space for bonding. Right, dear?" Rome looked towards Rebecca. Rebecca nodding at his question.
"And I hope that he didn't end up like the pretty vampire." Rome whispered low. But high enough for Darach to hear.
When Rome came to gave Amber a parting hug who was currently glaring at him, Darach hugged him before he could lock his arms around her. It would be a cold day in hell if he ever allowed a male near his unclaimed female.
Already the demon's last words were ringing a wrong bell in Darach's head.
New boy toy!
Vampire..?
What the fuck had the demon meant by that?
