Ch. 4: Possession

Title: Little Red Riding Hood

Author: LightningRose

Serenity sat on her bed in a daze; everything seemed to be happening just too fast. A visit to her grandmother's turned into her being kidnapped and forced to marry a shape shifting wolf king! She would never see her mother again, her friends, or her family. She would forever be the captive wife of a horrifying beast!

"Who am I kidding? He is probably the most gorgeous man I have ever laid eyes on, that dark silky black hair that falls perfectly into his dark blue eyes. And what eyes they are!" Serenity shook her head, no she would not let herself be fooled by his good looks or charming attitude. He was a beast, one who threatened her life, and almost ate her grandmother! She was near to tears when she heard a knock at her door.

"Who is it?"

There was no response, however she did hear the door open and close behind her back. Only thinking it was one of the girls she decided not to move or look. Thinking if she ignored whoever it was they would just leave.

"So you find me gorgeous my sweet?" Serenity jumped off her bed in fright. How dare he listen through her door, and even enter without permission! Wait…he heard what she had said about his looks, not her thoughts on denying him either way.

"I may find you handsome, but you are still nothing but a beast! One that I will never love, this marriage is a farce, only to save my grandmother." Darien shoved serenity up against the closest wall, his snarl sending shivers down her spine. Air could barely fit between the two they were so close together. His front to her front, chest against chest, nose against nose.

"You may not love me now my sweet, but your body smells of a different emotion. And I will take either for now. And you better get used to this beast…for you will be one yourself soon."

Serenity could only stare in shock; her body was betraying her even now as he held her close. His lips leaving tantalizing whispers across her cheek, his large rough hands caressing her hip like he was her lover, it was too much for her to take in. But when he said she would be a beast soon as well, her arousal turned into confusion. What did that mean? Was he saying she would become a beast like him?

"Don't look so frightened my sweet. The change will be swift, and then you shall be the beast you seem to despise so much. What a beauty you will be" Darien nuzzled her neck, leaving barely any space between the two. Just thinking about her becoming his Queen was enough to drive his desire over the edge. How he craved this tiny woman in his arms. She would learn to love and respect him.

"No…" It was faint, barely a whisper of a word but he heard it. She struggled to get out of his arms, but he held her fast. The action caused them to fall on the bed, keeping her locked between his hard body and the soft mattress. She could feel every inch of him against her.

"Yes, remember we have a deal. You promised to be mine and in return I leave your family alone. Are you backing out sweet Serenity?" Darien could barely control himself, the position they were in was too much for him to handle. His wolf howled in his mind, this was how wolves mated. By the male dominating the female, and Darien was clearly the dominating one in this situation.

"No…I'm not backing out. You never mention anything about being changed into a wolf though!" She wiggled underneath him, her arms were stuck in between their chests, she pulled them out and tried to push against his shoulders to get off her. He merely grabbed hold of her wrists and held them above her head, stretching her out even more.

"My kind cannot mate with humans. And so for you to become my mate you must become wolf." Darien growled low into her neck, she had moved her head to the side, showing her long slender neck to him. A sign of submission whether she knew what she did or not matter little to him.

He licked her neck, nuzzled it with his nose. How he wanted to mark her right then and there. He felt her body shiver, and heard a small sigh escape her lips. He knew when he first met her she was an innocent, never been touched by a man. So to have her react to him in a way pleased him greatly. Possessiveness took over then, the thought of any man other than himself having her angered him. He nipped her skin lightly, enough to make her squeak but not hurt her.

"You beast! You bit me!" Serenity glared at the handsome man lying on top of her. He was making her feel things she had never felt before. She forgot why she was there, who he really was and why she was supposed to hate him. That is until she felt his sharp teeth pinch at her skin. She knew it didn't hurt, but it woke her up from whatever spell he cast on her.

"You are mine, and only mine. My mate, say it." His hot breath washed over her face, he smelled of spice and something she couldn't figure out. But whatever it was she loved it, everything about him was so manly and yet wild all at once. His eyes were so dark and held her captive. His lips parted to show his white teeth, the tips of sharp fangs in each corner.

"Say it!" He pushed his body against hers, stared into her eyes and begged her to submit to him. He needed her to say she was his. Her eyes, her beautiful innocent blue eyes were the only thing keeping him in control.

"I'm yours, I'm your mate." When she had said it, they both felt something had changed. He slammed his lips against hers, gently at first. Nipping her bottom lip, making her gasp in surprise, his tongue dove in tasting her sweet mouth. She tasted like honey.
