Death would be better than being tied to such a man.
Holding my breath for the pain to come, I didn’t fight him as he pressed his big hand down on my cheek. My head pushed down into the bed.
But I didn’t close my eyes. Instead, I kept them on the open doorway. I knew there would be no rescue. The doctor was dead and for all, I knew so was Kaelan. The only thing I could hope for was that being taken like this would cause me such internal trauma that I would die from it. And if it didn’t I would end my own life at the earliest opportunity.
“Kaelan.” A single tear slipped from my eye. I hadn’t wanted a man like Kaelan. Who I thought was below me. But now I would do just about anything to have him be the one between my wet thighs.
“Stop thinking about him,” Zane screamed it into my face. His spittle hitting my cheek. “I am ten times the alpha he is.. a hundred times….”
I could feel the swollen head of his member pressing against my opening, and my eyes closed on their own. I didn’t mean to do it. I wanted to be brave as I braved myself for the agony that was about to come.
A loud growl vibrated through me, so loud it made my bones vibrate and the weight on top of me suddenly wasn’t there.
Opening my eyes a tiny bit I looked up into the dark face of Kaelan. His eyes wild as he stared around the room. “Don’t you fucking touch her, don’t….” his eyes met mine for a second. There was nothing soft in his gaze. It was like death was looking down at me. And even when I knew it wasn’t my death, I was still afraid.
Even as he gathered me up into his arms, he turned towards the group of men in the corner. Zane was on his knees, being held by men on either side. His knees in the blood and brain matter of the man he had shot for no reason.
“She is mine.” Kaelan looked wild, his nostrils flaring. “If you have….” He didn’t finish. “Lock him up somewhere until I get back, I will deal with him once I have Bree somewhere safe.” He didn’t look down at me as he strode from the room. The angry set to his jaw made me nervous.
“It’s ok Bree, it’s ok no one is going to hurt you. Never again.” One giant hand touched my sweaty hair. His touch was soft like he was afraid of hurting me. A soft purr was vibrating through his chest. The sound of it put me more at ease. And I relaxed in his arms.
He wasn’t angry at me, I realised and that just made me sag in his arms. My head falling back against his chest.
“I am going to take you to your fathers. Someone already has clothes for you.” He tried to pluck the shirt I had clutched to my chest and I gave a low growl of my own.
I didn’t want him to take that. It was mine. I would need it for my nests. It smelt of him.
“Bree it’s going to be ok, just let me have this.”
“No.” I slapped his hand away. “No it smells of you and I need it.”
For a second he paused, his dark eyes scanning my face and then a small smile lifted the edge of his mouth. Bending he pressed his lips to my head. “Then keep it, Bree, keep and take whatever it is you need.”
I didn’t need anything. Just that shirt. It was the only thing that could complete my nests.
Chapter Ten
Kaelan
Treachery and hatred, it swirled around me like a cloak and I embraced it, gathering it around me and holding it close.
In the months since I was betrayed by my closest friend, I had used it as a shield. It helped keep people at bay. Never again would I let someone in as close as I had Zane.
Even now I didn’t know what I was going to do with him. Just the mention of his name was enough to set my teeth on edge. I knew I had to do something but what?
He hated me, and I wasn’t even sure why. Then again it didn’t really matter. I had done so many awful things to get where I was today. It was a good bet that I had done something to him or his long-dead family. I wouldn’t even remember it if he told me. Or maybe he was just bat shit crazy. That was a very real possibility.
Maybe Zane was just jealous of what I had. And instead of trying to take it from me man to man, he had decided to try and sneak it away when my back was turned. My manor I had got back easy enough. But my mate? I wasn’t sure I would ever truly get her.
He had hurt her, violated and traumatised her.
Since the attack, she had been back at her fathers to heal. I had seen her as often as I could. But the visits had been quick, most of the time I didn’t even speak to her.
How could I when everything that happened was my fault. If I had left her alone, she would have been fine. It killed me inside to watch her from afar but what choice did I have? She needed to really heal. Not just physically but emotionally as well.
I wanted her, every single time I saw her I wanted her even more. Even the times when she didn’t see me. Which was most of the time. But I was starting to doubt I would be good for her. She deserved someone gentle and I wasn’t that. My need for her was primal, I wanted to dominate her in the most animalistic way. And I wanted her to submit. The question was would she ever really be able to? Or would she look at my domination the same as what had been done to her?
She was still intact, I knew that. Her father’s doctors had examined her fully but that didn’t mean she hadn’t been violated.
