The Bully's Hated Mate
The Bully’s Hated Mate – Chapter 55

LUCIUS’ POV:

The sun rays woke me up with a smile on my face, I didn’t want to wake cassia up so I stayed where I was, already awake but not moving.

My hand was nestled between her breasts, comforting myself and warming her up. As I took a few of her hair and played with it with my free hand, I started to reminisce just how lucky I was.

Three weeks after the match, a match that had decided my fate to cassia, a match I had won, our bond became thicker, stronger and dependable.

I was so proud of myself that everything I said I was going to do, everything I said I was going to change, I did.

I no longer disrespected her, no longer humiliated her, instead I made sure to show her off. I would wake her up with flowers or even breakfast in bed when the mood felt right.

We no longer had morning breakfast with my dad like we used to, deciding unintentionally to spend all of our time indoors and really make up for lost time.

I opened doors for her, we rode in the same car to school and back, and all of my projects were placed with her. It was as though a mighty weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

I no longer wanted to murder any teacher that paired us together, instead I fought with anybody that felt that it was ok to try to seperate us.

Everywhere we went, we walked together, ate together and made sure we did everything together.

She eventually asked me to move in back to the room and I was shocked and beyond happy that we were going back to normal, to a better normal.

Father heard if it and secretly praised me for doing the right thing, I was proud of myself for doing the right thing even. It felt good.

I noticed a drastic change from cassia too, we didn’t fight as much and even when we did it was something we reconciled from almost immediately.

We worked out our issues in stages, taking everything as slow and steady as we could and I could tell that the more we did what we did, the stronger we were becoming

I started to see what my father meant by us having this “fire” because even the s*x now was different.

It was phenomenal.

I discovered new things about myself as I also learned to discover hers. It was fantastic what I discovered, alot of ways to pleasure her and I could tell she enjoyed every bit of it.

We learned to also listen to each other speak, listen to what we weren’t saying and we learnt to accept each other.

I used my elbows to raise myself from the bed, I peered over and took a long look at her peaceful figure. She was amazing, maybe it was the way the light fell on her hair and eyelashes but she was beautiful, far more beautiful than I’d ever seen before.

I brought my lips to her cheeks and kissed them slowly, she stirred in her sleep and I could see the outline of a smile forming.

“Wakey wakey sleepy head” I said, my voice husky. She g*****d with her eyes closed but I knew she was already awake.

“Can’t we stay here?” She asked me

“I wish we could but we can’t. Come on” I said, getting up but she still had her head and body in the same position.

“I’ll give you a good shower” I said, indicating what I meant. I watched as she sprung up like a leaf and removed her clothes.

We made it to the dinning hall and I could tell that father could smell the shinanigans we were into just before we got here.

“I have something to inform you about” he began after we all exchanged pleasantries.

“Tonight, we hold an annual dinner feast with one of my counsel members, Beta Damon Cedric. I’m sure you must have met him before, at the annual moon games?” He asked and my brows furrowed a bit, suddenly I felt the instinctive urge to clutch cassia’s hands and I did.

“You don’t have to go, if you don’t want to Cassia” my father instantly said. Cassia’s neck was growing hot with blushes but instead of backing down, she cleared her throat and smiled.

“I’m fine sire and as far as Lucius is going then I have too and the Beta wasn’t that bad” she said and gave a light smile at the end.

My father looked at her even more and his smile grew too.

“Then it is settled! I’ll have servants fetch you new clothes as at the time you need to” he said and we both nodded in agreement.

I hoped cassia was going to be ok.

***

Time seemed to go by fast as the time came when the servants had us seperated to dress us up for the event. I had been at the beta’s house a bunch of times and while I only went because as at the time, Ariadne was the only thing I longed to see, I never really liked the meetings. It was always a bunch of foreign affairs and boring things.

Even as an upcoming alpha, somethings bored me out.

I stood in front of my ceiling to floor mirror and checked out all the angles that came with the wide mirror.

I was dressed in midnight suit with stars that made the suit sparkle. The shoes were even more spectacular as I didn’t even look at the suit that much, I just kept on looking at my shoes in the mirror.

If I looked this good then I could only imagine what cassia looked like, I had a feeling that she was going to take my breath away.

“Sire. You’re all set” a servant’s boy called out to me after making sure that my tux was in place and everyother thing looked good with me.

I gave a Curt nod as I went in search of my mate. I searched our rooms first, she was not there. Not a sign of her anywhere.

“Sire, the king requests your presence” a guard came up to me as I checked the last room in the hall. I furrowed my brows,what could be need now?

I went downstairs to meet him, he was talking to someone and so the courtesy of having to wait for him till he finished speaking had to be carried out.

When he was done with speaking, he sent the person away and turned his focus to me.

“Would cassia be alright?” He asked me. I didn’t know what to say truthfully but I wanted to believe she was ok.

“If she ever gets uncomfortable, I’d have to take my mate away. I don’t want her getting emotionally stressed about anything or anyone” saying the last bit more to myself than to my father.

What I said seemed to have made my father smile as he dropped a hand in my shoulder.

“I’m proud of you son, I’m sure you’ll do marvel…” His attention broke as his head whipped up in shock.

I was stunned at what could have made him to stop talking instantly and turn to a different direction.

Slowly turned my body first and then my head and the image that Kay before me made my heart bloosm flowers.

Coming down the stairs was a woman of valor and Divinity.

She was precious and the ground she walked on was instantly blessed.

My eyes watered as they finally had words to describe her beauty.

She wore matching outfits with me, her gown midnight black with stars making them shine as the light bounced off from them.

The chandeliers seemed to create a hue around her well tied updo hair with strands of hair that leaked out of its corners. Her face was engraved in my mind, her steps elegant and her beauty shone even more.

My heart beat fast as she slowly brought her eyes towards mine, my eyes never leaving hers as she made her final steps to me.

No wonder I couldn’t replace her earlier, her beauty was preparing to blind me on impact.

“My lady” I said, bowing down elegantly and taking her hand to give the most sensual and yet respective k**s I could muster infront of my father.

“Your highness” she said, equally matching my sensuality, I was this close to taking her over my shoulders and cancelling whatever plans the kingdom thought it had.

“Well, you look lovely my dear” my father chipped in, a gentle smile formed magnificently on his face.

She blushed a bit.

“Thank you your highness. You look good too” her attempt at politeness was cute but I knew there was only one ravishing in our midst and it was her.

“Shall we?” I asked taking her hands in mine.

” I believe we shall” she said and giggled.
