I put the gods as demons in this. I know. Never really been explored. But I liked the idea of them not being able to leave each other.
In fact this couple has yet to be explored. But when you think about who the gods have coupled off with. Its not really a stretch.
My dear mate seemed to refuse me. Ever since I claimed him when he came of age, he has not left his room. Not even entered our room since I took him. Most alphas would punish their betas for pulling this kind of stunt. I see no reason to punish him though. I want him to think of us as equals. Not my domination and him having to submit for fear of what I'd do to him if he disobeyed. He shouldn't live in fear of me. As his alpha, I should protect him, keep him safe. He should see me as his protector that loves him. Though its probably too late for that. I forcefully claimed him. I was suppose to love him. Protect him. Take care of him. But I ruined that. I took his trust and destroyed it. I took advantage of him. Hurt him. I may have been gentle with him. But he didn't want it. He was too scared to tell me no. now here I am, sitting outside his door, thinking all about how I messed up the best thing I ever had.
" I messed up the best thing I ever had."
My head looked up at that voice. my alpha had been at my door since that night. A night most betas either dread or look forward to. The night they are claimed. I didn't know I'd be claimed. The night he claimed me, I had come of age and was looking forward to being courted. That's what I'd been looking forward to the most. Trying to figure out why they wanted me. that's what I thought would be most fun. Breaking egos and finding love in an alpha that cared for me. I thought he cared for me. I'm pretty sure he does. He just didn't do it right. He messed up. He knows he did. He just doesn't want to push me. Force me. Most alphas wouldn't care what their beta thought, just as long as they obeyed them. And gave them a child. Which meant sex. I know he wouldn't want to have sex not after what the first time lead to. Me leaving him. Locking myself in my own room. Not allowing him to do his alpha duties. Most alphas would punish their betas by now. He really did want to fix this. I just don't want him to fix it. I want him to grovel. To beg for forgiveness. The take me to bed and show me how he would make it up to me.
"oh, Ares. When will you learn."
Short. Yes. But it's the beginning. And most my chapters have always been short.
Anyways~
Have a good day
