Chapter 3 My mysterious little mate

Caesar’s pov

I can’t believe she’s actually here.

After waiting for three hundred and twelve years, I finally found my mate. Maybe the moon goddess never gave up on me.

I’ve been watching her for four years. The first time I saw her in her family’s garden with a maid, I felt an attraction that I couldn’t explain.

I started thinking something was wrong with me until one of my advisers who is fortune teller told me my mate was already in existence but I might not be able to recognize her yet.

Emily Clara Vintage, the secret daughter of the vintage family is my mate. No wonder why I had a strong attraction towards her.

When I felt her bump into me on the upper floor in the ball room, my whole body froze.

Her dark blue eyes were so intense that it felt like it was drawing me in, her chestnut skin was glowing bright under the golden lights of the room and God those plump lips, it was doing things to me. Not to forget her enticing cleavage, no one deserves to see that much skin except me.

The way all the men were staring at her made my blood boil. By now, everyone one of them would be regretting the way they looked at mate, but I assure you they won’t get to see the light of tomorrow. Then I remembered she has a boyfriend, I guess I must get rid of him too.

I still needed to know why her parents always kept her hidden. Everyone in the country knows the Vintages. But no one knows they have another daughter, and I intend to find out why.

Her bastard parents thought they could walk into my office and try to set me up for a marriage with their pick me daughter, Evelyn. Those people sure do not know the kind of torment I could lay on them for eternity.

I was already so pissed when I enter the ball room, but that sweet smell of vanilla and strawberry instantly calmed me down. Just for me to search for where the smell came from but then traced it to the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.

Now here I am standing few feet’s away from her, trying to find out why she ran away from me even though she doesn’t like me for some reason. I might be a monster to everyone, but she is an exemption even though I am slightly pissed.

“Why did you run away, love?” I growled lowly, my jaw tightening.

I can’t have her thinking I’m being soft, not when I feel like I’m being watched.

She let out a small whimper, still not answering my question.

I took slow steps till I was exactly behind her. Her body heat and her enticing smell hit me so hard I felt like I was drunk.

I gently placed my hands on both sides of her waist, and lowered my head to rest my chin on her shoulder.

“Aren’t you a pretty little one, hmm?” I whispered into her ear, teasingly.

I know I shouldn’t do what I’m doing, but I can’t help it.

I could hear how fast her heart is beating and how much her body is shivering underneath my touch.

Is she mute or something?

In the blink of an eye, I was in front of her gripping her chin and forcing her to look me in the fucking eye.

“I know you hate me, but when I ask you a question, you answer.” I snarled, tightening my grip on her chin but not enough bruise her delicate skin.

Fuck, I hated this. But I want her to fall in love with me willingly.

“I.. I thought you were going to kill me for getting in your way, so I panicked and ran.” She stammered, lowering her eyes.

Why would I kill her for something like that? I’m I really that horrible in her eyes?

That means I have a lot of work to do but I don’t know what to do at the same time. I have never tried to please a woman before.

“I would never hurt you, love. Neither do I intend to do so now.” I whispered, my eyes softening slightly.

“Then why are you here? And could you stop calling me love.” She gave me a blank stare. Her eyes were full of confusion, longing and hatred?

Of course she really hates me. But does she know that I could die for her or even burn the world just so she can be happy. 

“I can’t tell you anything now, love.” I smirked, knowing that I didn’t listen to her second sentence.

She rolled her eyes at me and scoffed loudly.

I always knew she was feisty, the time I spent watching her when she at home or college, even whenever she passes the castle just to observe the scenery wasn’t for nothing.

But I had stopped watching her a year and half ago when work got piled up, and I started wondering if she was truly the one for me, even though I had no way for knowing if she’s the one.

So why is it now that I am finally finding out?

“Then what exactly do you want from me your majesty?” She furrowed her eyebrows, starting to get annoyed.

I dropped my hand from her face and moved back. I stared deep into her eyes, wishing I could find eternity in them.

“I want nothing from you, love. I just want to get to know you.” I said, sincerely.

‘Just tell her she’s our mate already!’ My wolf name Max interrupted my thoughts. He has been bothering me since we figured out she’s our mate. He keeps saying he wants to talk to her but I would never let that happen. He has been sad and depressed for a hundred years, feeling bad that he doesn’t have a soulmate but that didn’t stop him from performing the duties of a king. If I let him out, he would mark her immediately.

Emily was looking at me strangely, probably because my eyes were changing colors since I was talking to my wolf.

“With all due respect your majesty, I want nothing to do with you. So please just stay away from me.” She frowned deeply at me, clenching her fists tightly.

She’s such an angry bird. 

I sure as hell want to be apart of everything that has to do with her. 

But just then, her expression became rigid. Her attention elsewhere.

I stopped my thoughts and used my hearing skill to hear if anyone was close by. And yes, I could hear the voices of her parents somewhere outside the castle.

“I keep hearing about an elegant beautiful girl came to the ball and caught the king’s attention.” Cordelia vintage said, Emily’s foolish mother that married for wealth. 

How does my beloved even tolerate that idiot.

“I heard that too. Some say she’s a princess from a far away land.” Edmund replied to his wife.

Then I heard a scoff from their pick me daughter. She was always throwing herself at any man with a pretty face and wealth.

“So a bitch came here and the king went after her.”

Then she said, “But why did I perceive a faint smell of Emily’s perfume in the hallway. Was she here tonight?”

“Well, we’re about to find out. Let’s head home now.”

Then their footsteps started getting farther away.

“Shit!” She whispered.

What a foul word coming from those sexy lips. The wonders those lips could do for my excited monster down there is unimaginable.

“I have to go.” She suddenly said, causing my chest to flare up in anger.

Why was she so scared of her family? I had only just met her and now they her taking her away from me. 

I can’t wait to get rid of them.

“They’re heading back.” She whispered to herself but I heard it, she sounded scared.

I can’t wait to have her locked up in the palace with me, so she could never leave my sight.

She looked up at me one last time, her gaze hardening. Then she ran off, disappearing from my line of sight immediately.

I’m sure she probably went home. Maybe I should do a surprise visit to her soon.

My sneaky little mate. But if her parents touch her in anyway, I would rip their heads from their body and use it as a statue outside my castle.

I really want to know exactly how I would make her to love me, get to know her and show her that I can never be a monster to her but she keeps running away from me. 

Even the times I wanted to take the initiative to speak to her, I would always retreat because I knew she didn’t like me and might not want to see me. Not all the rumors she’s heard about me is truth but ninety five percent of what she heard is definitely true. I’m the king of both the werewolf and the vampires. If I always show mercy or act soft, there would be chaos and the balance that I have been maintaining since I took over would be in ruins.

But now that I have gotten the chance of having her in front of me, and speaking to me. There will be not going back.

I smiled softly, thinking about my beautiful mate and whispered softly. “Keep running Emily, but I would always look for you in every lifetime, chase after you and always love you there.”

But would she ever feel the same way or love me the same way as I do...?
