"With the skies, the color of bruises and cuts, Oozing and bleeding all over the sun." -Willow Smith, Romance
The council had listened to the weak and frail Samuel and had decided despite it being to show a change in power, Sophia SHOULD prove she can handle the tasks at hand. Silas had been furious but Sophia had kept her head up and asked, "So what are the trials?"
And now that she had to endure them Silas had no choice but to tell her.
The first trial was asleep in the lavender garden under the full moon. Both their bodies naked to the moon absorbing its power.
When they were done with that part they were then to do the marking ceremony after a purity test was performed. And if she passed Silas would be told to mark her on the spot.
The last most volatile part was the final trial. A run through the underworld pack's woods, where Silas would chase her down and f**k her into submission.
Silas had told her to take as much time as she needed before she decided on doing the ritual. But Sophia had made up her mind to do it the moment she had been challenged. After speaking with her mother and Amaya, Sophia knew nothing in love came easy.
Fighting for who you want and rising up to any signs of a challenge in their names will always be the place of a mate no matter the species.
So on the night of the first trial, Sophia and Silas walked through the pack in next to nothing. Sophia had her hair down as she wore a white sheer dress and Silas wore no shirt and loose slacks.
When they got to the lake with their boat, they were taken to the lavender field where the council stood waiting by a large sleigh bed. The perfect violet sky was the perfect backdrop, the moon hung low and large in the purple sky above them.
"Good evening," Elder Solas rasped, "You two are to stay here under the bask of the Lavender moon until it falls. In this time your hidden truths will come forth. Any questions?"
When neither spoke the three older men turned and left leaving Silas with Sophia. Looking at his blushing mate Silas grinned and gently kissed her head. When Sophia hummed and buried herself in his arms he whispered, "We have to take our clothes off."
Sophia blushed even more before slowly pulling the sheer dress off her body exposing herself to her mate and Silas followed her league.
When they both stood naked as the day they were born, both climbed into the large sleigh bed and lay on their backs. Silas looked over at his mate and smiled as he gently ran his fingers over her skin, "You're so f*****g beautiful baby."
Sophia looked at him and smiled, but then the unthinkable happened.
"You ugly, scrawny, red-headed b***h!" a girl shoved Sophia into a locker painfully causing Sophia to cry out. "You're such a freak! How about we cut off all this fake s**t and make you look like a freak!" The girl hollered holding scissors. Screaming in fear when the girl came at her with scissors, Sophia watched the girls hit the ground holding their heads from her high pitch wail.
Running away Sophia was behind the school sobbing as she spent the rest of her day there hiding.
When she got home she didn't get to tell her mom what happened so she told her father. Of course, the balding man with a growing beer belly heard what happened he belched and sneered, "You shouldn't have chosen to become such a disgusting thing it's your mother's fault! You should have been like me!"
The horrible waste of space let out a noise of disgust, "Now my daughter's just as damned as she is. You deserve it girly, god didn't put people like you on this planet."
Sophia looked at Silas who was stroking her hair gently as a tear ran down her cheek, "I'm sorry. I was going to tell you about him. It was just too hard. He was so awful to me." Silas nodded and kissed her head gently, "I know baby. It's okay." Sophia sniffled and then they were pulled into a memory of his...
Silas was sleeping when he suddenly couldn't breathe and opened his eyes. Seeing Rachel on top of him, Silas pushed her to the ground and hissed, "What the f**k Rachel?" Rachel giggled as she got off the floor wincing a little, "Sorry to scare you Silas, but you seemed tense. I thought I'd ease your stress."
Silas scoffed, "No thanks now get the f**k out of my room." Rachel frowned annoyed and threw a tantrum, "Silas we're going to be mates! You might as well face the fact and enjoy it." Silas thought of the beautiful redhead and shook his head, "Just leave me alone Rachel."
Rachel didn't.
Instead, she climbed into bed with Silas and kissed his neck, "Is it that redhead girl? The one you ran after last week?" Silas fought growling as his claws grew in length. "Silas...she's weak. I'm your rightful luna, I can feel it. You just have to give in."
Silas threw Rachel off him and snarled, "GO!"
Silas sighed as the memory left him, "You never even tried to be with her?" Sophia whispered in shock. Silas grinned, "I do have some restraint my mate. Besides, I didn't like Rachel for who she portrayed herself to be. She was a materialistic, power-hungry, unloyal gold digger who'd sell me out if the pay out was in her in favor. You? You'd burn before you let anything happen to me. I knew nothing or no one could compare to me and you the first moment I saw you."
Sophia grinned and kissed Silas as another memory flooded through.
Sophia was in her room in the palace.
She had smoked a couple of joints and now she was laying on her back wishing like hell she could sleep. But she couldn't so all she could do was daydream which led her to fantasying about her mate.
It had only been a second, but the moment she had seen him he had become everything she wanted and needed. As she thought over his body, his lips, his eyes...his everything, Sophia grew hot, horny, thinking of him.
She slowly ran a hand down her body as she got off thinking of him. When her fingers dipped into her lace panties, Sophia gasped feeling hot wet she was. Soon she was playing in her soaking folds thinking of Silas. She arched and moan into her hand wanting him, his touch, his body...
Silas groaned as he pulled back from Sophia's kiss and looked at her blushing face, "Nothing to be embarrassed about Sophia. As you know I jerk off quite a bit thinking about you." Sophia giggled blushing even more, "I do know...hey Si?" Silas smiled, "Yeah baby?"
Sophia grinned, "I love you too."
Silas smiled widely, "I know."
