Always Yours (King Series #2)

Chapter 30

"Please stop. Please don't kid around, this is not funny. It's unfair to Lady Amanda, so please let me go" I struggled to get out of his arms but he just tightened his hold against me.

"Rose, please listen, I am telling you the truth, you are my mate" he declared it so seriously.

"No" I whimpered as I struggled once more.

"Can you please believe me? I am telling the truth damnit!" his voice was raised higher this time and I stilled my body as I looked at him. He raises my head with his fingers.

"I am telling the truth. You. Are. My. Mate"

"If I am your mate, why are you marrying Lady Amanda? You say that mates are life but why are you marrying her when she isn't your mate?" I demanded him.

His face held regret and I felt my hope died.

"I- fuck, Rose, I can explain why I did that but you need to listen to me"

"I only did that because my people and other higher ups are pressuring me to take a Queen, for her to bear me an heir to secure the throne. I- I knew that you were my mate during that time but people won't take it openly when I take a human as a Queen, so I did a stupid decision by asking Amanda to marry me. I fucked up, I know, but I am trying to make it to to you, if you'll let me" he stared deep into her eyes.

"Why- why are you so against humans?" I asked when I regained my ability to speak. This was all to much for me to handle. One part of me was ecstatic that I am his mate, but one side of me is still in deep turmoil about the whole situation.

"Because. They are the ones who killed my parents" he said as he gave me a sad smile, it must have pained him to talk about them.

Now I understand why he had treated me that way when we first met, and I couldn't blame him.

I knew that his parents died when he was young and any child shouldn't have his/her parents die at such a young age and he had to take the throne and all the responsibilities that came with it at such a tender age.

I placed my hand over his, trying to give him some comfort and he seemed to embark in it.

"That's why I was reluctant with you, it was so damn hard for me to see you so near but feel as if you were so far away. I'm sorry for giving you a hard time before and for hurting you. I fucking told myself to not hurt my mate but I did. I'm no less than a fucking monster" he growled angrily, not towards me but to himself.

And I wanted to tell him that it wasn't his fault, yes, he had hurt me but it wasn't like he wanted to. He has had his reasons to and I understand it.

"It's okay, what's important is that you're trying" I said weakly but I knew that this isn't going to work out, for God's sake he is a King, someone who holds importance and I am just a mere servant. It pains me but we are never meant to be, our social standings are so diverse. People will never approve of us.

"I am, and I'll do anything to make it up to you, I'll do anything for you" he proclaimed it strongly and I couldn't help but smile widely as he pulled me closer to him, leaving no space between us and burried his head on my neck and inhaled deeply.

Hearing those words directed to me, I couldn't help but feel happy, that someone cares for me. I felt accepted for who I am, for the first time in my life I could finally feel sincere happiness, not the type where I force myself to think that I was happy.

"I didn't even do anything and you're crying, shit, I am a horrible mate" thumbs wiped off the tears that I didn't know was falling down my eyes but nontheless they were happy tears.

The King was frowning to himself, thinking that he had hurt me. I found it funny and let out a laugh, the King looks shocked at my odd behavior.

"One second ago you were crying and the next you're laughing" he raised an eyebrow and I just smiled at him cheekily to which he gave back one of his own.

Dear Lord his smiled are killing me. If this is how werewolves treat their mates, I am glad that I am his. I wish humans were also the same, I wish people would stay faithful to their spouses. I have heard couples break up due to infidelity, for petty reasons and as such.

"I'm just scared that this happy feeling we have will disappear. You still are going to be married to Lady Amanda and I'll just be your mistress" I hated myself for ruining our moment but I needed to be realistic.

"I told you Rose, you're everything that I have. You're my only Queen and wife. I'll cancel the wedding" he said with finality.

"No! You shouldn't cancel it for me"

"Rose, when I said mates are forever I meant it, I'd do anything for you and I never wanted to marry Amanda in the first place. I don't want to marry someone I don't love" he says as he smiles at me before he grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

"Why don't we forget about all those problems and start over, hmm?" I giggled at him before I nodded my head.

"I am Aiden and who might you be, beautiful Lady?" he asks me as he throws a wink at my direction and I couldn't help my heart pounding fastly when he adressed me beautiful.

"I am A- Rose, your Majesty" I said as I gave him a clumsy curtsy. He chuckled at my attempt before he encircles his arms around me.

"You don't need to call me your Majesty anymore, baby. Call me by my name" I blushed at his words before I bowed my head shyly.

"Aiden" I mumbled before I buried my head on his chest and I could hear the appreciative growl emerge from his strong chest.

"God I love hearing my name come from those beautiful lips of yours" he said as he kissed the crown of my face.
