Chapter 706: 706-Pregnant From My Mate

Ursula:

"What do you mean by mate?" I asked him, longing and desire clearly visible in my eyes. I had been desperate to hear him call me his lover, but today, he was calling me his mate. That was something huge for me.

"Remember that night we were watching the stars?" he asked, his beautiful blue eyes shining at me. I nodded, and he continued.

"I felt the mate bond with you that night."

I gasped and covered my mouth. I was, unfortunately, not a very strong mermaid, my wolf side had been killed when I was born. That was rare, but when it did happen, even a powerful mermaid would lose much of her strength. Still, I was always told I was special. They said that mating with my true mate would give me a very powerful child.

But how was I supposed to find a mate when I didn’t even have my wolf’s voice in my head?

"Why didn’t you tell me?" I asked my alpha pirate.

"Remember the next day, my father introduced me to a princess?" he said and I nodded again.

"That’s when I ran away," I said quietly.

"Yeah. Unfortunately, you did. Because right after that, I went inside and told my father: I will not marry anyone else but you. I wish you had stayed to hear that," he said softly.

"But my love, I’m here now. All these years I searched for you." I started crying, I hadn’t known how much he truly loved me. All this time, while I was craving love, he had been loving me back. But sadly, that cursed man named Niles had gotten his hands on me.

"They ruined me," I whispered, the shame creeping into my voice. I wasn’t a virgin anymore.

He narrowed his eyes at me gently and leaned in to kiss my forehead.

"Nobody can ruin you. You know that, right? It doesn’t matter what happened. What matters is that you’re alive, and you’re safe. And I’ll help you heal. And I’ll take revenge on everyone who ever hurt you," he said, his eyes burning with determination. He leaned in and kissed my lips.

We were so lost in our emotions that we didn’t realize someone had crept up behind him. Suddenly, he flinched, his kiss broke, and his eyes filled with confusion.

I looked up. Darcy was standing there, holding an injection in her hand. She had drugged him. He tried to get up and push her away, but her warriors rushed in and grabbed him.

"No! No!" I screamed, just as others grabbed my arms and yanked me away from him.

"You can’t do this! Let him go!" I screamed and screamed, but one of them struck me on the back of my head. Everything turned red and blurry.

By the time I came to, I was tied in chains again in a basement. But this time, it wasn’t just a bed. The chains were longer, allowing me to move around.

Across the room, I saw Soren. He was tied up too, starting to wake. I rushed to him and wrapped my arms around him. At least they had loosened the chains enough to let us be together now.

"Are you okay?" I asked, my heart pounding hard from the fear of our future. He shook his head faintly, still under the drug, but his eyes met mine.

"I’m fine. Are you okay?" he asked. There was nothing but love in his eyes.

"I’ll help you. I’ll get you out of here, my queen. I won’t let you stay here." His lips trembled, but I knew he meant every word. He would do everything in his power to get us out.

And once again, when we return to Arthendel, we will live our best lives.

Every few hours, they would release some gas in the basement and we would pass out. By the time we woke up, which would be around 30 minutes later, we would have food, fresh clothes, and things we needed. That was odd. They had never done that before with me. But this time, it was like we could live a normal life here, but it wasn’t normal.

After three days, it became very difficult for us to get out of there. We tried everything. We couldn’t find a window. We couldn’t even dig through the ground. Every time we tried, we failed.

So then one night, we got a little too comfortable, not caring about anyone. Our bodies needed heat too. And then the love we had, the mate bond, everything was at its peak that night. It was a full moon. That’s when we started to make out. One thing led to another, and we were in the bed, doing it.

It was the most beautiful night ever. I was finally happy. After being forced so many times, this was the one time it actually felt like I enjoyed it. But sadly, we had fallen right into their trap. The bed being placed there, it was for a very specific reason.

After we fell asleep and woke up again, we were not together. Soren was gone, and I was tied to the bed once again. For a moment, I couldn’t even fathom if I had dreamed about seeing Soren or if it had really happened, because everything was just back to how it used to be.

That’s when Niles came in, finally, after so many days.

"What are you doing here?" I yelled, not happy to see him again.

"Oh, I was asked to take care of you," he replied with a smile.

"No. Where is Soren? Where is Soren?" I screamed.

He looked at me, then grunted.

"You shameless slut. How can you talk about another man in front of your husband?" he screamed, slapping me across the face. I gathered all the courage and spat on him.

"I’m not your wife. You’re not my husband. Soren is my everything. I want him. Where is he?" I screamed and cried.

"Oh, that mythical man? The one that has books written on him? Well, we took him out. We didn’t need him anymore."

My face drained of all color.

"No. That can’t be," I said, my body shaking.

"Don’t worry. He’s not dead—-not yet. He’s just in a separate cage." he smirked.

After that, he didn’t respond to any of my cries. I cried for Soren for days. That’s when he told me that if I cried any more, Soren would be punished. So it was like they were controlling my emotions too. And then, after some time, he gave me the news after doing a pregnancy test.

"Great. You’re pregnant. I really hope this child is perfect," he said, a smirk forming on his lips as he did.
