His destined mate

Ethan's POV

The sight of Derek in my chamber made me extremely happy and sad at a time. But I can't show my happiness because of Derek's betrayal. I can't seem to forgive him for betraying and embarrassing me so easily. Derek is my brother from a different womb. In other words he is my step brother. But we grew up together like full blood.

My father, the former lycan king, mated with his mother when he was intoxicated. Therefore it was an unconscious act. When he realized his actions he brought his mother into the palace but didn't marry her because he already had a mate which was the queen mother, my mother.

His mother died after giving birth to him. The queen, my mother, took over breeding him till two years later when he gave birth to me.

We grew up loving and protecting each other.

This is the memory I find difficult to forget. Even though he betrayed my trust.

At the sight of him at the door entrance my heart raced with a mix of joy and betrayal.

I felt like calling out to him but I held back.

I watched as he greeted mother. I felt like joining in the hug as usual but I couldn't. I had to maintain my distance. Until he apologized for his wrongdoing. I can't look weak.

No! I'm the LYCAN king. I can't appear vulnerable not now.

Looking at him, all I could see was pretense. More reasons why I could not reply to his questions. My brother has never visited me after the betrayal. And here he is acting as if nothing happened. "She is the person you left Emily for?"

I heard Derek trying to compare Emily and Bianca. I was ever ready to keep up with his act but can't stand it if any soul alter a word against Bianca.

"She is my mate and no more objections to it" I growled at him and to any other person who wants an object.

I glanced at everyone as the room got silent. That even a drop of pin could be heard at that moment. The air was tick with tension. The atmosphere was heavy.

The presence of my brother and his aim to mock me irritated me that I wished he would leave as soon as possible not knowing our conversation has angered our mother greatly.

No matter what, we don't joke with our mother and we equally can't stand to see her angry.

I noticed Derek's apologetic face when she was cautioning us. But at the same time that was not what I needed at that moment.

All I needed was a moment with my life savior who was looking all confused.

Bringing calmness to her confused mind became the most important thing for me at the moment.

From the look on her face millions of thoughts were hitting in her head.

I held her firmly to support her at the moment

I felt my nerves calmed once Derek announced his departure with mother. But what bordered me was Bianca's state of mind at the moment. She has passed through a lot in the hands of Emily. Emily I know will never back down easily but I vowed to protect her with my life if need be.

"I know your heart is troubled right now. But don't worry I will never let any harm come to you" at that moment I sensed a sense of comfort in her eyes.

Though we have achieved our goal which is to break the connection I had with Emily, I can't stop wishing for Bianca to remain on my side.I felt a deeper connection with her after getting free from Emily's wicked trap. All I desired was her.

"Leave us❞ the servants standing by all left the room. As the door closed behind the servants, I turned to Bianca who was looking as calm and beautiful as ever. I can't help but desire to have her in my arms. "Finally, we can have this room all to ourselves" I smirked as she blushed over my statement.

"Bianca" I sat resting my back to the wall for better support.

"Your highness" her voice is as still as water and so melodious. I drew her closer to me, my eyes locked with hers.

"We are mates now. No need for formalities" I gently stroked her cheek. Her

Soft and delicate skin. I stroke her hair, then her neck.

I drew her into my arms, my lips capturing hers in a tender kiss.

I took another look at her small round and baby face. My heart leapt with joy. I couldn't help but admire and be grateful to have her in my life.

The fact that she has never resisted my touch feels my heart with joy.

"You are exceptionally beautiful" I whispered, my voice filled with emotion. Her eyes sparkled. Her face curved into a gentle smile and her face radiated with beauty.

I drew her closer to me and placed my lips on her lips. I kissed her passionately and she responded to my kiss, my tongue exploring the depth of her mouth. She gave out a soft moan, her body aching to mine. I felt like marking her instantly, but kept my cool.

As we broke apart we heard a knock on the door. One of the servants came in to invite us to the dinning.

"This have to continue later, freshen up and have our food first"

I pecked her on the forehead and she crowned me with a beautiful smile before leaving the room to freshen up.

I went straight to the bathroom to clean up. My body felt no pain as someone who was seriously sick a few hours ago. I could not help but wonder what difference she made that my healers didn't know.

"Bianca I don't care the kind of past life you have with you, I will make sure to make you mine forever"
