Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 30

Ajax walked over towards the bed and sat me down carefully before leaving and entering his closet. He was no longer wearing the suit that adorned his body earlier. He had on a white t-shirt and casual shorts. I looked around the room in awe once more, the white walls made the space look even bigger than what it was. I ran my hand over the soft duvet. His scent was everywhere driving me mad. He smelled delicious, almost like chocolate but more manly. I'm sure that made absolutely no sense.

He emerged from the closet wearing nothing but a pair of grey sweatpants. His top half was completely naked revealing his chiseled chest and taut muscles. I could feel my lips part slightly, just waiting for the drool to spill over. I tore my eyes away and focus my vision else where.

I watched has he moved over to the sitting area and grab something before making his way over to me. "You can stay up and watch some tv, if you'd like. But I'm exhausted and going to sleep." He handed me the remote to the tv before rearranging the pillows and pulling back the duvet. "If you need anything, just wake me up. If it's past twelve am there will be a guard posted outside the door, you can also ask him."

I nod my head at his words, watching him carefully. He truly did seem exhausted and maybe that was the reason for all of his kindness today. He was probably too tired to fight the bond that he has enforced upon us. I was disappointed to say the least. Ever since my first shift all I could imagine was heart warming love that would consume me when I found my mate. But instead I've got abuse, hostility and anger. None of which I deserve. I could feel my heart sink in my chest.

Ajax turned to me and lifted me up, sitting me up against the headboard of the bed. He covered me with the blanket before turning off all the lights in the room beside the one that sat next to me on the night stand.

He climbed into bed, pulling the covers over his chest as he lay in the middle. His back was towards me, I watched him for moment. I didn't know why or what I was expecting but it's like I couldn't look away. So I simply watched as his toned back expanded with every breath. He seemed to fall asleep quickly while I, on the other hand, was restless.

I finally decided to turn on the tv and watch Reign of course. This show was so good and I needed something to take my mind off of all the events that happened today. Time seemed to pass quickly, it was nearly one o'clock in the morning.

I was watching episode nine or ten but I couldn't really remember at this point. The radicals had planned an attack on the castle. When they reached the chambers of queen Mary I began to feel uneasy. I could feel Ajax stir in his sleep beside me but I pay him no mind as one of the radicals struck queen Mary in the face causing me to flinch and coward back. The uneasy feeling began to grow inside me, spreading through out my body as the man began to violate her.

I turned it off immediately as hot tears began to roll down my face. I felt sick once more as I choked back a sob. I pushed the covers off of me carefully not wanting to disturb the man sleeping besides me. I tried to wipe away the tears but it was useless, more and more continued to spill out as horrid flash backs danced through my mind.

I awoke to the sunlight beaming across my face. I turned my back towards it and sunk deeper into the mattress and pulled the duvet closer to my body. Wait... I sat up quickly and looked around surprised to find myself in his bed. He must've moved me. I look at the clock to find that it was 8:27am and Ajax was no where in the room.

I could hear some chit chat going on outside of the door before Cipher poked her head through. She gave me a warm smile her bluish green eyes were bright and enthusiastic. "Hey!" She greeted me as she slipped through the door and made her way over to me. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel fine." I tried my best to return a smile that was as bright as hers but I can tell I failed. Her eyes roamed my face carefully. I probably looked absolutely disgusting. My eyes are probably red and puffy from crying and my cheeks must be tear stained.

"May I?" She asks pointing at the bandages on my wrist. I nod my head, glad that she asked for my permission to touch me. She unwrapped them carefully and sighing when she found that they were no where near healed. She examined my ankles as well and we were both surprised to find them perfectly fine. I was beyond relieved.
