Rejected By My Mate, Chosen By Fate
Chapter 82

He turned away from me and walked to his bedside table where a bottle of what I assume to be wine and a glass sat. I knew I had to somehow stop him or at least change his mind. I know I’m not a virgin anymore but I only want Kayden to touch me from now on.

I don’t consider what Zephyr did to me as a s****l experience, he did what he wanted to without my consent so I’m ruling it out.

Kayden and I are yet to be officially mated so we haven’t done anything yet but I’ll definitely consider him as my first. He’s the only person that I want to touch me. Mission or no mission, I’m not going to let some perverted vampire have his way with me no matter what.

I don’t care if he just read what I thought, I’m ready for the worst, I’m definitely not letting this happen. Surprisingly, he didn’t seem to have heard what I thought because he didn’t react at all.

Despite the fact that I’m supposed to be grateful for this, it leaves me equally puzzled. Did he willingly decide to stop reading me or is there a limit to their mind reading. If I wish to be able to figure this out, I have to take chances. If I know their secrets, I’ll be able to use it to my advantage. He opened the bottle and poured a crimson red liquid into the glass, half filling it up. The colour and texture from my viewpoint made me doubt that it was actually wine.

‘I just hope he comes to his senses and lets me go.’ I thought, trying to see if he would pick up on it but he seemingly didn’t. He took a swig of the questionable wine and turned to look at me before walking towards me.

I wasn’t given time to think or act because in the blink of an eye, he was in front of me and he claimed my lips in a k**s, depositing some of the wine into my mouth. Surprisingly, it tasted awesome. A tangy taste with a distinct combination of metallic and sweet all at the same time. My eyes widened in shock as a weird realization hit me at that moment, what if he could only read my mind if he was looking at me, so that would mean that as long as his back was turned to me, I was safe to think. This discovery wasn’t allowed to last long as his tight grip on my neck forced me to swallow the wine and as soon as I did, he let go of my neck and lightly brushed his fangs over my lower l*p, teasing me before he broke the k**s.

My face instantly flushed red and I kept my gaze down. What is he doing to me? What did he just feed me?

“You’re a very smart girl and I appreciate that. I don’t like robotic girls that only do as they’re told, I give you the rules to follow and I expect you to break them every once in a while, just for my entertainment. Now that you’ve figured out that I can’t read you if I’m not looking at you, what will you do with this information? Will you try to use it against me?” He questioned slyly and licked his lips.

An unfamiliar feeling was rising within me but I couldn’t even tell what it was. I simply kept my gaze to the floor and shook my head no.

“Good. Don’t even let the thought of using this against me cross your mind because I guarantee that the outcome will most certainly be fatal.” He said and I nodded once more, still finding it difficult to stop myself from blushing.

He grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him. “Do you know what you just drank?” He questioned and I shook my head within his grip.

“What you just drank is b***d wine. It’s a mixture of b***d, alcohol and a few potions. It’s nothing but a drink for vampires but for humans, it forms a temporary pact. I’ve fed you my b***d wine so I’m temporarily in full control of you until it wears off. I can make you do anything I want and certainly make you feel anything I want. You’re bound to me for about an hour or so, I can force you to drink more and extend the time.” He said with a sly smirk and I glared at him. I badly wanted to gag after finding out what I had just drank but I couldn’t, I wasn’t even in control anymore.

“I’ve found that with the right motivation, there’s often no need for violence and besides, who needs to be aggressive when I can make you feel something better, make you willingly submit.” He said and before I could respond, he buried his face in my neck and inhaled deeply.

“Has anyone ever told you that you smell divine? It’s almost intoxicating.” He said, teasing my neck lightly with his nose.

He pulled away before assuming a formal stance. “Now strip.” He ordered once more and though every fiber of my brain was screaming at my body not to comply with the instruction, I couldn’t disobey because magic was at work here.

My hands came to my dress, unzipping it slowly while tears ran down my cheeks.

I bit on my bottom l*p in shame as my hand came to the sleeve of my dress, pulling it down my shoulder. A few seconds passed and my dress was soon a pool on the floor.

I was left in only my underwear and I felt so exposed, I wrapped my hands around myself protectively, the tears copiously flowing from my eyes.

Prince Virgil gazed at me with only satisfaction and even a hint of amusement in his eyes, he was enjoying this. “No, no. Don’t hide yourself from me. Don’t hide your beauty away from me, I’d like to see every inch of it.” He said and my hands came to my side all on their own.

He admired my partial state of undress for a bit before moving closer to me, bridging the distance between us. He brought his finger to my chest, just above my bra covered bosom and he traced thin lines on my chest with his fingers, making goosebumps fill my skin.

His finger travelled downwards, towards my cleavage and I could feel a heavy lump in my throat but just then, a knock came to the door, instantly stopping Prince Virgil’s ministrations. As soon as he withdrew his hand from my body, I released a breath which I didn’t even know I had been holding.

“F**k!” He cursed before opening the door. “What do you want?” He questioned the person at the door and I quickly grabbed my dress and tried to cover myself before turning back to see who it was.

I saw that it was one of the guards. “I apologise for disturbing you, your highness but his Majesty demands your presence immediately.” The guard reported.

“Can’t it wait? I’m busy right now and I’m currently in the middle of something.” He said with a stern expression. The guard gazed into the room with the corner of his eyes and immediately he caught my gaze, I looked downwards.

“I’m sorry your highness but it can’t wait. His Majesty said to tell you it is urgent and your presence is needed immediately.” The guard said and Prince Virgil released an exaggerated sigh.

“Fine. Let’s go.” He said but before he left, he turned to look at me austerely.

“Don’t move, stay here until I come back.” He said and I simply nodded. He turned and left with the guard, leaving me in the room.

I tried to somehow calm my terribly beating heart and I attempted to see if his hold on me would work while he was away. If he can’t read my mind if he’s not looking at me then there’s a huge possibility that he can’t control me if he’s not near me, right? Although I cannot deny the fact that magic is involved, I’m still going to give it a shot.

I close my eyes and move towards the door, expecting some kind of magical resistance but nothing happens. Despite the fact that I’m still feeling a little lightheaded and the ticklish feeling in my nether region seems to be increasing, I feel perfectly fine. I waste no time in putting on my dress before carefully advancing towards the door.

I open it slightly and take a peek around the halls and when I’m sure that it’s empty, I quickly dash out of his room and into my room. I lock the door of my room and turn around, my back resting on the wooden door as the feel of my heart beating against my chest begins to ache. I gently slide down the door in tears as I can’t hold back anymore. My body shakes with sobs as the pain of what I’m being forced to endure hits me hard, this isn’t the physical torture I was made to bear at one point in my life but it’s no better.

If not for Selene’s intervention, I probably would have been raped for the second time and all in one life time. At least back at my Pack, I knew what to expect but here, it’s all a mystery.

My heart can only hope but nothing is certain, anything could happen and I just have to bear it quietly and try to adapt or I might never get out of this realm alive. The uncertainty of Kayden’s whereabouts just weighs on my heart and I can’t even think anymore, I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to be in this situation anymore, I just want to give up. I just want to go back to my old life of being mute, it wasn’t easy but it was at least peaceful. I never wished for any of this, I’m not strong enough.

I’m not strong enough to pass this test. I need help, please send help my way, anything, even a sign. Please tell me that it’ll be OK and it’ll be all over soon………
