Bullied Mate Of The Lycan Kings
Chapter 132

Aiden's pov

"Wake up, son"

"Wake up, nephew"

"WAKE UP, AIDEN!"

Groaning, I woke up to a melodious vocie humming softly and soft slender hands stroking through the strands of my hair.

Mum?

Where was I?

Blinking slowly, I tried to raise my head to see the owner of the soft voice and when strands of dark hair fell over my face, I was certain that it had to be my mother. But it didn't make any sense because my mother had never been affectionate towards me, considering that she despised me for taking her life.

Except for the one time when I had nearly been poisoned to death and she had spent the entire night nursing me back to health which had given me some hope that perhaps she cared about me only for her to revert back to the person that she was when I was fully healed; cold and distant.

Was I dreaming?

Maybe that was what this was. A dream.

"Mum?" I whispered, desperate to see the face of the person that cared for me and the person's fingers ceased their movement and at the same time, she stopped singing.

"Mother." I whispered again, my vision clearing slowly when the person raised her head to finally lock eyes with me and I realized with surprise that it wasn't my mother but Lily and she looked overjoyed to see that I was awake.

"Oh my God. You are awake! Maya, he's awake. Come see!"

Lily? That was impossible because Lily had run away from me after seeing how my uncle had all but killed me and humiliated me.

I laughed but it was without mirth wondering how he goddess could be so cruel to joke with me about something like this. What kind of dream was this? Was it punishment for being such an a*****e over the years? Or was I dead and this was my own eternal torment?

Perhaps I deserved this. Infact I thought it was fitting for me to go through this torture after all Lily would never love me even though I was alive. Perhaps death was the best.

My shock was palpable when Lily threw herself on me and I felt pain as she crushed me in a tight hug, a reminder that even though she was weaker than most, she was still a werewolf. This wasn't a dream?

As if she had heard my internal turmoil about what was happening, she kissed my cheek and burrowed her face in my neck, her tears dropping on my skin like rain as she sobbed hard.

"I thought you were going to die." She cried and that was when I realized two things. Very important things that made the wound in my heart feel like it was already healed.

One, I was very much alive despite the beatings that I had thought I would not survive.

Two, Lily had not abandoned me like I had thought before passing out and it looked like when she had run out then, it had been to get help, seeing that I was back in my bedroom and no longer reeked of my own blood.

Ignoring the burn in my back as I raised my hand to pat her back, I completely melted at the fact that she was really here, that she had stayed by my side and looked after me even after how horrible I used to be to her, even though she had every right to leave me where I was to die.

Releasing me, she wiped twin tears rolling down her cheeks just as Maya came in and as the both of them jubilated, hugging each other, I admitted to myself that I had fallen even deeper in love with Lily, holding on to her hand tight and promising myself to try my hardest to make sure that I didn't ever hurt her or make her cry again. At this point, I didn't even have a right to hold on to someone so pure, but I would do everything to be what she deserved and even if she could never accept me as her mate, I wanted to never be cut off from her life.

The next twenty four hours had Lily feeding me, routinely changing my bandages and even reading to me since I couldn't move and because I was a werewolf plus the fact that my mate was the one caring for me, it took me no time at all to heal but I was scared to tell Lily that I was feeling better not only because I liked her attention and how she fussed over me but because I was scared that she would leave me once she found out.

However, my cover was quickly blown in the evening. She had stepped out to have her bath and change after feeding me dinner and I was just walking out of the shower, toweling my hair when she returned.

We both froze as we stared at each other, her eyes filled with surprise that turned to realization.

"You've been feeling better for a while haven't you?"

"Yes," I said without thinking. "No," I corrected, wincing when she gave me a 'you think I'm stupid?' look. "Don't be mad," I whispered, lowering my head in shame and afraid that I had messed up again.

"Alright then. Then I should probably go now." She turned around to leave but I grabbed her hand and turned her around to face me, not realizing that my pull was strong because she bumped into me and we both fell on the bed, her on top of me.

We stared at each other for what felt like hours and then she laughed.

My apprehension lessened as she swatted my arm playfully.

"You jerk. Why did you pretend?"

I wanted to say something cheeky but settled for the truth.

"I didn't want you to leave. I know that I don't deserve you or your kindness but I'm a selfish bastard." I whispered and saw her look flustered, her face reddening as she tried to look away and I held her to me and placed her gently on the bed beside me, leaning on my elbow to look at her.

"Did I make you uncomfortable?"

She shook her head and shivered as she was about to answer, so I quickly covered her with a duvet and got underneath it.

"Is this okay?" I whispered as I moved closer to her and she nodded again.

"I'm glad you're okay, Aiden."

My smile was small but relieved.

"I'm glad too. I thought I wouldn't see you again."

The room fell in to silence as we looked at each other and when her eyes dropped to my lips and back up to my face, I froze.

Was she thinking about kissing me like I was thinking about doing the same to her?

Forcing my wolf to remain calm since the last thing I wanted to do was scare her off, I opened my mouth to tell her that I could sleep on the couch if she wasn't comfortable and before I could speak, she leaned forward and brushed her lips against mine. Once. Twice. Three times.

"I'm going to kiss you now." I breathed against her mouth, feeling tingles climb up my back as I gave her ample time to reject me and when she brushed her lips against my mouth one more time, I crashed my lips against hers, pulling her to me.

I fell, I crashed, I burned.

With her warm body molded into mine, desperately clinging to my hair and her nails digging into my back, I moved to hover over her and groaned as she wrapped her legs around my waist

Jesus. I growled helplessly, grinding into her. She gasped into the kiss and it traveled right to my d**k, making me completely aware of every inch of her as her perky t**s rubbed against my chest. It felt like I was being summoned, like I was under a spell as I kissed down her throat and found her breasts.

f**k, she wasn't even wearing a bra under the flimsy blouse and it was all I could to do to stop myself from driving into her when I pulled up her shirt and saw her full rounded breasts.

I bit back a starved growl as I stared at her naked chest for the first time. f*****g hell, nothing would have prepared me for this.

My heart was beating abnormally fast as I cupped her soft, luscious mounds, reverently, painfully aware of the breathlessness in my chest. She was perky, perfect, fucking pink. Of course she'd have such perfect breasts.

I dropped my head and ran my tongue around the swells of her breasts, teasing her, taking my time. The uncontrollable moans and whimpers she made only fueled the fire in me as I pressed kisses all along the valley between her breasts, fucking worshipping her like the goddess she is.

"Aiden," she whimpered and I soared.

Gone. I was gone for this girl. Just hearing my name on her lips and I wanted to give her the goddamn world.

Her fingers dug into my hair as she grabbed my head and practically positioned me right where she wanted. I groaned as I took her n****e in my mouth, nothing... nothing on this earth could have prepared me for the taste of her, for the feel of her body, her hands clenching and unclenching in my hair, the sounds leaving her lips like a chant, a prayer.

Eyes locked on hers, I devoured her n****e with long, hard sucks and she bucked against me helplessly, pleading, begging, her hair sticking to her damp cheeks as I sucked and sucked and sucked. My arm moved to wrap around her waist to support her as she raised herself on her elbows while my other hand slowly made it's way down until it touched her thighs beneath her skirt.

I groaned at the slickness pooling between her legs. She was so goddamn wet, I could dive between her legs.

Desire and bloody lust pumped in my veins demanding I take her. Demanding I claime her.

No, this can't be how her first time with you should be, Aiden. Take only what she's ready to give. You need to wait.

Reigning in my stubborn wolf, I settled for making her c*m instead, my finger replaceing her clit and rubbing as I sucked, licked and bit her n*****s.

She squirmed, her eyes hazy but filled with shock as I slipped one finger in and then two. Her breathing turned choppy, her fingers dug into my arm, delicious pain pumping in my veins.

"Aiden," she gasped, squeezing me hard as her hips grounded against my fingers, my thumb rubbing her clit and eliciting shudder after shudder from her.

Watching her was my greatest honour and it felt like I could do anything as she took over the pace, indirectly showing me what she liked and how she liked it and when she came, her voice was lost in a whisper and tears streamed down her cheeks.

She was still trembling, shuddering, as I pulled her into my arms. Holding her tight, I kissed her forehead and crawled under the duvet again.

She was panting, breathless, lost, still coming down from her high as I struggled to make the decision. To let her go.

It's now. It's now or never.

Taking her chin between my thumb and forefinger, I took her lips in mine, tasting every inch of her mouth like I needed to taste her soul.

I was breathless when I let her go.

"There's a car with a driver downstairs to take you anywhere you need to go." I rasped against her lips.

"I don't understand" she whispered and even though I smiled, my heart was breaking in two.

"I've kept you here against your will long enough, Lily and I know that if I love you, I have to let you go but, stay with me tonight. If by morning, you're still here when I wake up then I will take it as your answer that you want me too. You want to be with me." There was a reassuring smile on my lips that was meant to lighten the situation but Lily merely nodded at me, her eyes heavy with exhaustion as she let me hug her while she promptly dozed off.

My last thought as I fell asleep was hope that after tonight, perhaps she would consider me but I was only met with the greatest heartbreak when I woke up the next morning and her side of the bed was empty.

Limping out of the room, I stumbled into Maya in the hallway and her face turned grim as she closed the distance between us.

"Where is she?" I asked her, my voice breaking and Maya shook her head as she told me what I already knew and dreaded. "She's gone."
