Chapter 10 Mates

• “All my life, I have never been touched by a man. I’ve remained clean and chaste” – Ava Goodchild
• …
• As soon as his voice boomed through the walls of the dark room, I trembled as I walked in.
• Posing a submissive stance, I imitated confidence like I had seen most high rank ladies do around here.
• “C-Can I turn on the lights, at least?”
• I mumbled nervously, with the insides of my palms sweating.
• “Very much, dear.”
• I heard a loud thud on the room’s floor. Next, the switches came on. The room became lit immediately and he walked towards me, in an all-black outfit.
• Sort of a coat at the back.
• That made me see and examine his features. His long dark hair had grown a bit, since the ship. Eyes were still as dark and mysterious as ever.
• It made my heart beat in various paces, as he made his way towards me.
• “I never did get a chance to inspect your purity, Lady Ava.”
• He surprisingly said, using that title.
• My eyes beheld a shocked expression that he would accord me, in this way.
• “I-I assure you milord, there were no interactions with my chastity that day at the ship,”
• I stated, with a confident expression. Even though, deep down, I was burning with intensity.
• “I’m wanting to believe that, but I can’t, milady…” he muttered.
• “If there’s anything this ferocious beast likes, it’s virginal women all for him. One to breed his child and be his queen,”
• “Do you think you can do that?” he asked.
• “That depends on who’s asking, the beast himself beneath…or the legendary King Caspian?”
• I answered, with my hands firmly placed around my transparent robe.
• It seemed like I was beginning to understand this creature, every moment.
• “Who does your loyalty lie with, of us both?” he made his way towards me saying.
• “Both of you, milord. I mean… aren’t you of the same body?” I stated. “Moreover, there are still some mysteries in this castle, I’m willing to unravel”
• I breathed out, almost heaving out of breath when he was an inch closer to me.
• “Quite impressive, Lady Ava…But be careful, prying too hard might just lead to your detriment,”
• He said, talking the sides of my elbows in his palms and rubbing softly. I closed my eyes at the amazing sensations I felt, with my lips slightly parted.
• “Let’s get down to business, shall we?”
• He smirked, kissing my palms.
• “Yes…milord.”
• A small disgruntled voice, let out.
• He stretched his hands for me to take, which I did as he led me towards his bed. While he faced me, I looked into his mysterious dark eyes, wondering who lied in there.
• The King Caspian, or the beast.
• Everything seemed unsettling, but after seeing what goes on here, I knew I had to do this somehow. Even if I was unsure of how these things were done.
• “Spread your legs, little Ava.” he suddenly spoke. “Open it and let me devour you.”
• I trembled at his tone of words used, with my hands clenched around my garment tightly.
• His voice sounded like sin itself and his eyes held a lustful gaze, darkened with desire.
• “H-How does this work?” I queried.
• My hands sweaty, in nervousness.
• Standing right in front of me, in a way that I was directing positioned at the front of the master sized bed.
• “By spreading your legs, I take your chastity and claim you as mine, Lady Ava,”
• He explained.
• I swallowed anxiously, widening my eyes.
• S-So that was it!
• Lord help me…I couldn’t do this. This was so against how I was trained by mum.
• I never did remember going against her, except from when I snuck in the village’s library…
• “P-Please, we do not have to use this way.”
• I pleaded.
• “You know…a lot of females in this castle would kill to be in your position right now,”
• He stated.
• “But I’m not them, milord… There are other ways of breeding your baby. A-An insemination would w-work quite fine—”
• A pissed growl configured the entire room. He pounced towards me, clearing everything in his way.
• My eyes wandered to his fur springing out of his shoulders. I swallowed a gulp, in anxiousness.
• “Do it or my guards would do it for you. You do not want to test a beast!!”
• He growled powerfully. With his aura, holding a dangerous presence.
• “I-I thought I was here to breed your baby, milord. How’s this even necessary?”
• A small disgruntled tone let out.
• “It’s strange you know about insemination and not about this…weren’t your findings ever complete, Lady Ava?”
• A low rumble echoed from his chest.
• “I suppose your mother would have enlightened you about the process,”
• He added.
• “But she didn’t. That’s why I’m asking,”
• I said, almost blushing.
• “Not ever?”
• “Not ever,” I stated truthfully.
• “Okay…then let’s start by spreading your legs,” he said.
• “B-But m-my virtue. I was taught never to be touched by a man, milord,”
• “I’m not any man, Ava. I’m the beast, I’m entitled to every part of you, as your mate,”
• My heart thudded softly.
• I closed my eyes, breathing out pleasure most of the times.
• “Mate? W-What do you mean by that?”
• “Shush, little Ava”
• …
• When the beast was done with his desires in between my legs, I was sent back to my room.
• It turned out most of the girls were asleep. I checked on Emily instantly. After confirming she was safe, I made my way towards Piper’s room.
• It was midnight; late and dark.
• But I needed to make sure she was okay.
• On my way towards the gardens which divided each room, a voice left me startled.
• “People linked by destiny will always find each other,”
• I gasped, looking back only to see a man with a shaven head. He seemed really familiar.
• “Who are you?”
• “You can call me Jaskier, my lady,” he answered.
• “Jaskier,” I repeated after him. “I am Ava, I haven’t seen much of you around here,”
• “I’m very much assured we’ve crossed parts a couple of times, milady. You don’t just recognize me,”
• He said.
• “Really? Who are you then?”
• “I’m one of the King’s guard, recruited from Demon Scavengers years back,”
• “Y-You are one of my people?”
• I said, unable to grasp it.
• “Yes, milady,”
• “How come no one ever talks about guards being recruited?”
• I asked, confusingly.
• “Cause in this castle, most males have lower ranks unlike females, Ava. This means no matter how I try, I will have miserable life,”
• He stated, drawing nearer.
• “Okay…and?”
• “This is where you step in, Ava.”
• Jaskier answered.
• “What exactly are you bargaining?”
• “I help you get a million miles closer to the beast, and you help me too,”
• “How can I trust you? How do I know you won’t betray me, Jaskier?”
• “Because we both come from Demon Scavengers. And, if anything, we strongly believe in trust.”
