Minor Competition
Sarina's P.O.V.
"Why would I trust a beast that wants nothing more than to kill me?" I boldly ask, normally I would never be so crass especially with shifters as powerful as them, but I was at my wits end.
"Because we have given you no reason to fear us." Enderson replies.
I study their faces for a brief moment, trying to determine if they are actually in fact being serious. Seeing that they are in fact being serious, I burst in to a humorous fit of laughter, I laugh so hard my injuries start to hurt, the pain making me sober up.
I look back up at the wolves before me, they both have looks of both curiosity, confusion and amazement, Garreth lifts a questioning eyebrow at me. I guess he wants to know why I burst into laughter at a harmless question.
"You've given no reason for me to fear you? Hmm, that's rich coming from the likes of you two.", I say spitefully.
They both still have the audacity to stand there looking completely dumbfounded, as if they didn't completely take away my childhood, and destroyed the rest of my life. Well maybe not them specifically, but every King and Queen that has come before them has made my existence a living nightmare.
"You have given me my life, but it is an existence worse than death", I say looking directly in their eyes.
My words must have come across differently then I implied them to, because in the next second their eyes softened and I was being embraced by the both of them. I immediately went ridged in their touch again.
What the hell is happening? I tell them off and the hug me! What?!
"Sorry, were so sorry..." I hear one of them whisper in my ear, unsure which because I can't manage to make myself move to figure whose talking.
With those four words I could almost feel my walls starting to crumble, I felt something trickle down my left cheek, I wasn't able to catch it in time before, Enderson noticed I was crying. In only a few short words they had managed to make the walls I had spent literal years building to crumble before them.
I hadn't been spoken to so gently in years, I couldn't even remember my mother talking to me so gently.
In one swift motion I was being carried bridal style back to, what looked like the room I had first woken up in.
Enderson places me down on the bed, while Garreth closes the door giving us some privacy, and also turning on the lights, making the room look less like a creepy hospital room and more like a fancy hotel.
Enderson then squat down in front of me, even while squatting down he still comes up to about eye level on me. He takes his sleeve and gently wipes away my tears, I just look at him, still confused as to way they are treating me like this.
"Why?" sniff "Why are you being so nice to me?" sniff sniff,
Enderson looks up at me something warm filling his eyes, "Because you're our mate",
"And we love you", Garreth says from next to me.
Love
That's what's been in there eyes, its been love. No wonder I couldn't tell what it was, considering its been a while since I've had anyone look at me with love in their eyes.
I take a moment to adjust to what I've just been told. Realizing I can't focus on the big thing, I decide to focus on the smaller thing.
"What do we now?" I hesitantly ask,
"You could tell us your name?" Garreth asks, amusement clearly evident in his voice.
"Sarina", I tell them.
I hear a slight rumbling, like a growl but softer. They don't comment on it so neither do I.
"Well, you're our mate, okay?" Enderson carefully asks.
"Who are you two exactly?" I say realizing I don't really know anything abut them other than their names.
"Oh I guess we completely forgot about that, now before we tell you, you don't need to worry, we are Enderson Traynor and Garreth Traynor. We are the current Kings of the Beasts, and you are our mate." Enderson says his eyes not meeting mine.
"Oh I see, excuse me", I reach over and grab a pillow before placing it over my face and scream my lungs out.
"Okay, okay calm down, were not gonna hurt you," Garreth calmly says while rubbing my back. And I notice something odd, sparks, I slowly let down the pillow and look over at Garreth.
"What?", he says dumbly.
"Sparks"
He grins slowly,
"The mate bond is starting to work, because now you can feel the sparks like we can", Garreth says, while taking his hand and running it up and down my arm.
I started to slowly get lost in the feeling, an abrupt knock shakes me out of the spark induced fog I was getting lost in. With a huff of annoyance Enderson stands up and goes to let who ever is on the other side of the door in.
Enderson opens the door with a harsh 'what?', I can faintly hear the conversation, the only things I managed to catch were, 'leave', 'dresses' and 'meeting'.
The person on the other side hands Enderson a black box, he swiftly closes the door, and walks over to where me and Garreth are sitting and hands me the box.
"These are some clothes for you to change into, we're going to be heading home because me and my brother have a meeting to attend to," Enderson explains after seeing the confused look on my face.
After a brief somewhat awkward moment Garreth clears his throat, and soon there after they both leave the room so that I can change, I'm put into some clothes that manage to look both comfy and classy at the same time.
The color was a pretty blue, I was in a soft pair of pants that hung loosely on my body. While I was also in a matching tank top and coverup, the outfit was soft enough that I could sleep in it but didn't make me feel indecent for walking around in it.
When I'm finished I open the door and they're both just standing there waiting for me. Enderson and Garreth and about 15 other very scary looking shifters.
They both grab one of my hands, and after a walk that feels like its gone on forever we finally leave the hospital. When we step out, and a gorgeous carriage is waiting for us, the base is black in color but gold accents everywhere help to show that this is in fact the royal carriage.
After overhearing the snobby lions at my old pride for years, at the Time what I thought was uses information as actually now become quite helpful.
Garreth and Enderson both help me into the carriage. I sit on one side while the two of them sit right across from me. Another wave of awkward silence envelopes us and it takes everything and me not to wiggle and squirm around under their penetrating gaze. It would seem they truly didn't want to let me out of their sight even though I was literally occupying the same space as them.
After a short drive we arrive at the Palace or as they called it, 'home'. And it absolutely took my breath away, I had only saw it briefly at the hotel I didn't even remember what it looked like from when I was a child growing up in the city but being here right now still took my breath away. Everything was absolutely stunning realty truly did live here and I lived above everybody else and they knew it.
We enter a grand foyer where a small group of men and women are waiting, but I barely notice them, the one that has all my attention is a stunning blonde women, wearing an equally stunning smile and dress.
Compared to her I look like a sewer rat and she a radiant goddess, and I can't seem to take my eyes off of her.
She rushes up and try's to greet Enderson and Garreth in what appears to be a hug.
They both just brush past her though, and go to speak to one of the men in the small group of people. A look of hurt flashes on her face, before her eyes land on me. A scowl quickly flashes across before she quickly covers it with another radiating smile.
She comes up to me and I'm immediately on defense, she's just so elegant.
"Hello I'm Duchess Victoria," she introduces.
"Hi." I mumble back.
"Oh you're so cute, I can't wait for us to become friends! We'll have all kinds of chit chats!", she says a little to enthusiastically for my liking.
"Me too" I say, hoping to get rid of her.
"Come mate, were going to show you to our bedroom so you can rest up", Enderson says saving me from having to make any more small talk with the Duchess.
They lead me up three flights of stairs, why is there so much walking? Until we finally come across a set of big ornate doors, Garreth takes the lead and opens them. I'm greeted by a room definitely fit for a King or in this case, two.
"Well we'll leave you to get comfortable, if you need us tell anyone in the castle and they'll mind link us, okay?" Garreth says.
I just nod my head in reply still looking around at the glorious room.
At least they didn't hover around me. So that's nice at least?
I heard a knock against my door not too long after they had left, maybe they had forgot to tell me something. Thinking it was them and they forgot something I walked over to the door, I had only opened it ever so slightly before a manicured hand pushed it all the way open, forcing me to back up quickly or be mowed down.
I was greeted by the same women from downstairs, the Duchess, only this time instead of a beautiful smile she wore a look of pure hatred and it was aimed all at me.
Oh I guess this is the 'chit chat' she wanted to have with me
"Hello, Victoria", I mustered up as politely as I could.
"It's Duchess Victoria to you", she sneered back.
Cue the eye roll, Whatever
"Can I help with something? Because I'm sure you don't have permission to be here," I say with hidden venom in my words.
"All I wanted to say was; do what's best for you and stay the hell away from my mates, they've obviously taken some kind of pity on you but it won't be long until they come running back to me and make me queen of the beasts." She says making sure to use enough spit to give me a nice shower.
I run my hand over my face trying to get rid of all the spit she sprayed during her little threat. A look of embarrassment briefly crosses her face, before a scowl quickly takes its place.
"Okay, first of all, say it don't spray it. Second of all, if they were your mates, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have still been looking for her these past few years, and finally threaten me again and I'll tell MY mates", I calmly reply.
With a huff she turns and storms to the door, right before she's about to leave, she turns back and says," You should take my advice, I'm friends with very powerful people", and with that she storms out the door making sure to slam it one the way out.
I wait a moment before clutching my chest and stumbling towards the bed, trying to calm my beating heart. I've never said such things to a beast before, especially not one that's in a high ranking position.
"Oh god what have I done?" I whisper to myself in horror.
