Chapter 1 Happiness

Serafine's POV

"I love you, Mate," I heard Silas whisper in a husky deep tone into my ears as he held my arms and pinned me to the bed.

I opened my eyes, the room was dim-lit, the only source of light came from the moon shining down on us through the open window.

I kept my eyes on Silas.

The hungry look in his eyes as he glanced down at my naked body made me want to rip myself free from his grip and go for him.

"I love you too, Mate..." I whispered back to him, he pressed his lips on mine, I held my breath, as he stabbed his tongue into my mouth, searching for my tongue.

I threw my head back and grabbed the sheets as our tongues met, he twirled his tongue around mine and cupped one of my molds, he fondled it and pinched my tits a bit and my toes curled.

"Ahh... baby," I moaned as his other hand found my folds. I kicked my legs and spread them apart as he teased me and twirled his hand around my folds.

He pulled back from the kiss and went for my neck, he kissed the spot softly and sucked it hard.

Oh fuck, I swear that would leave a mark.

I rolled my eyes back as the pleasure wave struck me, I arched my back even more and pushed myself towards him, begging him to give me his lengths.

As if he understood my body language, he lifted his head and with his eyes locked in mine, he thrust into me slowly.

"Mmm..." I moaned as I dug my fingernails into his back, "Yes... baby."

He parted his lips as he placed his hands by my head and went harder, "Ahh," he groaned and gritted his teeth.

My legs shook violently as I was near climax, "Baby... yes."

He closed his eyes as he held on. I could tell he was near too. I moved under him, meeting up with him, and the sound of our bare bodies smacking filled the room.

"Oh... yes," I let out slowly as I poured, and he placed his lips on mine and I could feel him pour out as well.

He pulled out of me slowly and rolled over, his chest heaving up and down as he stared at me, I turned to him and I could see the love in his eyes for me.

Silas took my hand and kissed it, he pulled me to him and I pressed my head in his chest as he circled his arms around me.

"Thanks, baby."

He was silent, I could tell from his steady breathing and his light snoring that he had fallen asleep.

I snuggled up tightly to him and closed my eyes.

I had so many reasons to be thankful to him, all my life I had faced ridicule and mockery from everyone in the pack.

I had lost faith in humanity, until a few months back, I found my mate, Silas, he is so kind and considerate.

It was morning, and the ray of the morning sun shone down on my face, I pressed my eyes shut before I opened them slowly.

I could feel Silas's arms around my waist holding me to himself, and I smiled to myself, I turned around to face him, and he blinked his eyes open.

"Good morning, Mate," he said in a deep rumble.

I pressed my lips together as I tried to stop myself from smiling sheepishly, "Good morning, Mate."

I remembered something and my expression switched into a frown as I lowered my gaze. He noticed it and furrowed his brow as he asked, "What is the matter?"

I bit my bottom lip and lifted my gaze back to meet him, "When are we going to go public about our mate bond?"

Silas fell silent for a while, he brushed his hand over my hair and replied, "Serafine, I suggest we wait until I succeed my father as the pack's beta... after that, we can announce our love and mate's bond to the entire world."

I smiled, I knew he was right, he had to be stable in his position before he would tell everyone about us.

"Okay... that's fine... I'll wait for you, my love," I told him, I raised my head and planted a kiss on his lips.

He rolled on me and started placing kisses all over my face, as he slowly got down from bed, "Let me freshen up."

"No..." I winced as I stretched my arms out for him like a child, he pinched my cheek and stroked it softly.

"I'll be back, baby."

I kicked my legs on the bed when he entered the bathroom, I giggled to myself as he blew me a kiss before shutting the bathroom door.

I walked out of the kitchen with a tray carrying the dinner I just prepared. Silas sat at the head of the table, his head down as he pressed his mobile phone.

I reached him and placed his dinner before him. He looked up at me with the sweetest of smiles and mouthed, "Thank you," I bent and placed a kiss on his lips, before sitting on the chair beside him.

We ate our dinner in silence and once we were done I packed the plates to the kitchen and got back to see Silas getting up to his feet "Are you going out?" I asked him, raising a brow.

"Yes, babe... I want to meet up with my friends and I'll be back a bit late."

I nodded at him and he gave me a peck on my cheek before heading for the door.

"Do not stay out too late!" I yelled out to him as he crossed the door.

"Yes, my love!" He yelled back to me and I smiled.

I took a towel and began to wipe the stains off the table when my eyes fell on his phone.

"Oh... no, Silas has forgotten his phone," I dropped the towel and picked up the phone, "Let me go give it to him."

I reached outside and noticed Silas was standing with some of our pack members outside the building.

"Thank God he hasn't left," I said, wearing a smile as I approached them.

"Silas, what's your relationship with Serafine?" I overheard one of them ask Silas.

I raised my eyebrows as I slowed down my pace, I was curious about his reply, and I wondered if he would disclose our mate's bond to them.

Silas laughed hysterically, "We share no relationship."

The other pack members burst out in laughter, "I thought as much... that girl is too lowly for you, man."

I cupped my opened mouth in shock, and I staggered back but managed to hold myself from falling.

"Exactly my point... my mate would be someone of at least beta rank or higher, not some frail, little girl," Silas replied.

"My eyes are on the Alpha's daughter, Riele... once she accepts me I'll be the happiest werewolf in the world."

I froze, my eyes bulged out, and tears formed in them. I felt a pang in my chest, Silas's words felt like a dagger driving through my heart.

"Riele?" I thought, "Riele, who had been a thorn in my flesh since the beginning of time... she had used every opportunity to bully and treat me like trash."

My hand moved to my chest and I grabbed my dress as pain waves shot through my heart.
