We collapsed against the maroon sheets; my body shivered as he pulled his length out; the remnants of cum poured out.
He pulled me into him; my body weak as the exhaustion settled in; my mind already drifting. I never knew what it meant to feel completely satisfied until this moment.
“Mako.” He whispered as his hand went through my hair.
“Hmm?” I was so tired, still trying to calm my body from the mini aftershocks that pulsed through me.
“Thank you for allowing me to be your first. I love you.”
I looked up at him, my eyes already heavy as sleep begged to take over. I smiled weakly at him.“Thank you for loving me. I’m glad I claimed you and I love you.” I lifted my head to give him a final kiss; my head rested on his chest.
I heard the flick of a switch, darkness descending around the room.
With Ryder’s fingers playing with my hair and his slowing heartbeat, I fell asleep.
CHAPTER27
Makoto
“Are you sure your family is okay with me being here?” I questioned, biting my lip as a distraction, my stomach doing a flip as I stared up at the castle before me.
The ancient looking architecture was made out of stone – looking similar to Knightwood’s structure, minus the gold. The most fascinating piece of work was the demon statues guarding the flight of stairs – their mouths open as they roared to the sky, their stone wings spread out. They complimented the castle entrance and would instill some fear into those who thought to cause any problems.
Ryder sighed, stopping and turning to face me; my hand in his.
“Mako, it’s going to be fine. My dad isn’t even here. Mom will love you,” he reassured me, tugging at my hand to bring me forward, kissing me lightly on the lips.
He smiled; eyes glittered with happiness before he turned around to walk forward; his hand gently tugged me along as we walked towards the castle doors – the ancient brown, polished wood opened.
Tomorrow would be the ceremony and celebration of Anya’s life.
Ryder asked the others if I could come with him this cycle; the previous times one of the boys escorted him for the day’s event. All of them approved, Kai, had the biggest grin on his face. My gut told me he was the only knight that came home early last night; the others didn’t arrive home till breakfast time.
Now I entered the castle, Ryder’s hand in mine as my borrowed black heels clicked and clacked against the tiled floor.
Eli had miraculously found a dress that fit me perfectly; the simple black dress hugged my curves and the small rhinestones at the bottom were enough to catch many of the maids and guards attention. It could have also been the fact Ryder walked confidently in a suit with a female shifter by his side.
You could see the respect in the maids and guard’s eyes as they looked at Ryder, bowing as he approached, before their stunned, confused eyes landed on me. I paid no mind, reawakening thebad ass bitchside of me and walking confidently next to him.
Even if his Father wasn’t here, appearance mattered. I imagined the maids gossiping about me and the King finding out. It was a situation I was ready to face; anything to be able to walk alongside Ryder.
He showed me around the castle, starting with the medical centre. I gave my greetings and thanks, bowing at the flustered medical team who couldn’t stop bowing back. Their excited expressions made me smile as they whispered among themselves –The Princess of Heila thanked us.
I thought it was weird for them to be so happy over my praise. It was common courtesy to thank someone who helped you survive when your own body wasn’t able to.
Now, he took his time to show me his area of the castle; the private kitchen, shower, his childhood bedroom and the one he used now. When he was summoned to Heila, his parents left his room as it was, not wanting to change it.
Although he was older and insisted they could use the room for something else, his mother kept the maroon walls with multiple train and car posters the same; his kid-size bed untouched. His new bedroom was a few doors down, the room set up similar to his room in Knightwood.
We’d brought a few extra set of clothes, setting them in his room before making our way into the main dining hall. Ryder abruptly stopped mid-stride, a frustrated sigh escaped him as his grip around my hand tightened.
I felt Rose nudge into my mind, waking up first.
“I knew we should have gotten rid of those hoes.”
I frowned, confused at her comment.
