Chapter 26. Getting better
ADRIANA
His paw pushes on my back, growling he keeps me nailed to the ground.
Fuck.
Okay, breath in, breath out. Maybe if I calm down, he will.
I try to take deep breaths, though it’s hard with his heavy paw on my back and my mind racing a million miles an hour. Teasing me with questions about him, about our mating, about that vampire that somehow gave me sparks, about my mother, about my ancestors.
Everything just turns into one big shit storm, when we spend some time together.
Finally I manage my breathing to relax and the storm in my head calms down. Diego is still pushing me down to the ground, his emotions finally seeping into me. Anger, frustration, confusion, laced with a hint of disbelieve and worry.
“Diego, you’re hurting me. I’ve calmed down. Please lift your paw, I won’t run.” I say, my voice hoarse from the pressure on my back and the fight we just had.
He sniffs my head and neck, breathing in my scent and s

SANTIAGOI walk out to the back of the house I assigned for Adriana’s family as long as they stay here. She follows me on foot and I can practically feel her eyes burning on my back, it’s cute how she says she doesn’t want me but her actions betray her every time.Though I have to say, when she gets on my nerves there is nothing cute about her. Not even to mention that she might possess magical powers, I don’t even know what to think about that. I hate everything about witches, vampires and other magical beings but she’s my mate. How could I ever hate her?My thoughts are cut short when we reach the back of the house and Rover comes running over, screaming for his sister. Tears run down his face and he pushes me out of the way before he leaps up and into her arms. Adriana catches him, covering his face in kisses.Gerard comes walking over and pulls his kids in for a hug, I hear some stumbling upstairs and a few seconds later

SANTIAGO I open up a mind link with Poté. “Poté, inform all patrolling wolves they are not allowed to let Adriana and her family off the pack grounds and come to my office.” “Yes Alpha, i’ll be there in five.” He answers instantly, though I can hear the confusion in his voice. I look around the room, shards of the coffee pot and mugs laying on the floor, pieces of bruschetta are spread all around and the tray is got stuck in the big Monstera in the corner. Great. While cursing myself that I had such an outburst, I clean up the mess I made. I check the old magic books Teresa brought and find out they are still unscathed. “Thank fuck, I think she would have poisoned us in our sleep if her precious books got harmed.” Diego chastises in the back of my mind. He lazily stretches his paws and lays down, watching me sort out the books, articles and papers on my desk. Moments later a soft knock on the door sounds before it swings open. I look up and Poté enter
For bitter or worse Chapter 29. Family and sangria
ADRIANA I cut the link. I somehow missed you, goddess could it be more embarrassing, I hardly know the guy. Though I also know that somewhere there is some truth to it. I mean I had a great day but I couldn’t stop thinking about how it would be like to share it with him. He could be a real dick but when we weren’t fighting we were going really good and I liked every minute spend with him. Though that could also just be the bond’s work, pulling me to him. I don’t know, all I know is my feelings are all over the place. “What up, you’re trying to imitate a tomato or something?” Jenna chuckles, nudging my side with her elbow. Ximena looks up from her seat next to Rover, she is coloring in some drawings with him. He had her wrapped around his finger in no time. “Nah, I just said something stupid across the mind link.” I say softly and Jenna scootches closer. “Tell me.” “Okay, just don’t laugh okay. I told him I missed him today.” I mutter softly.
For bitter or worse Chapter 30. Progression
ADRIANA I bounce on his shoulder while he takes big steps towards the packhouse, rubbing circles with his thumb on the inside of my thigh. Sparks rush through me, making my insides mushy and my initial deviance completely forgotten. The warning dad and Ximena gave me a long lost shadow in my mind. My hands are acting on their own accord, tracing every line of the muscles on his back and when I reach the scars on his ribs a shudder rakes through his spine. “What are you doing?” He asks, his voice low and somehow vulnerable. “Some exploration.” I breath, a smirk creeping up on my face. Finally focusing on the bond I feel his emotions, longing, frustration, hurt and something a bit darker, something I can’t decipher. I’m amazed with the complex man that’s carrying me towards the packhouse, amazed by what I ignite in him, in what he ignites in me. I block out the darkness lingering in him and focus on the longing. Pull on it as I trace my fingers
For bitter or worse Chapter 31. Bruises and deep scars
TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter is rough, it contains sexual violence and if you don’t have the stomach for it I suggest you skip it for your own sanity. SANTIAGO Diego thrashing against the restraints I have on him when Alexis, Adriana’s wolf, is begging him over, wanting him near. The woman belonging to that wolf is kissing me fiercely, her lips molding against mine, tongue swirling and a hand pulls on my hair. She positions herself in such a way she flips us over easily, straddling me, looking down on me. Her eyes are blazing at me, the glow from them making it very evident Alexis is on the drivers seat with her. In the cogs of my mind a idea slips through, it’s mean, it's hurtful and heartless but it will work and it will work fast. I hand the reins to Diego and he seems surprised I give into him that easy. All I can do is smirk at my wolf. “Go ahead, but when I say stop you will obey me.” I growl at him and he dives into he
For bitter or worse Chapter 32. Shattered
ADRIANAI wake up to a cold and empty bed, my body feels like it’s been hit by a freight train and my arms are twisted above my head. I find them cuffed on the headboard and the realization that last night was real and not a nightmare dawns on me.Hurt, shame and numbness fills me. How could he, I’m his mate, what did I do wrong? Why would he hurt me like this and why did my body like it? Tears start slipping from my eyes and I curl up again, utterly naked on the bed and silently crying. If the world could just swallow me whole and forget me, I wouldn’t be regret it if it did.I sit up when I hear heavy footsteps coming up the stairs and I feel for my wolf, I need her now, need her strength. Alexis whimpers, beat down by the events of last night, beat down that he really raped us. “I’m sorry.” Is all she can muster and she curls up, hugging the part of me that resides next to her.When I hear the doorknob twist I sit up
For bitter or worse Chapter 33. A strangers care
ADRIANA I step out into the sun and squint my eyes to protect them from the bright rays coming down on me. The warmth though, it sooths me, the breeze carrying distant trails of flowers and herbs caressing my soul. I take a deep breath and head over to the same place I had my breakfast yesterday. Santiago catches up to me and takes my hand, twining his fingers around mine, smiling down on my face and I avert my gaze. So cruel on the inside but so friendly and welcoming on the outside. He drags me along with him, taking long strides to the gazebo and I have to run to keep up with him. When we turn the corner Poté and Alba are already there, setting the last bits for lunch on the table. It looks beautiful, the table is packed with colorful plates, all types of veggies and two types of meat, served with tortilla’s. Alba’s radiant smile falls on my face when she sees me. “Luna! Lovely to see you again.” She comes on over, meeting me half way and w
For bitter or worse Chapter 34. Over and over again
ADRIANA I panic, his hold on my arm is unforgiving and the look he gives me makes me want to fade away. “You better not tell anyone, because I will hunt you down and everyone you love. Now be a good girl and pour me a cup.” He pushes me away from him and I stumble to his desk, looking for a cup. When I can’t find one he comes over and takes one out of the large cabinet behind his desk. It’s dark grey and industrial like the one in his bedroom, in fact the whole office is a loose copy of the bedroom, dark colors and heavy furniture and all. “You can find cups, glasses, liquor and cigars in here. The rest is filled with stuff you don’t need to know about yet.” He sets the cup on the desk and sits back in his chair, watching me while I pour him some coffee, my hands visibly shaking. “I want to start with learning you the basics from my pack and business tomorrow.” I look up, not expecting this. “You want to teach me how everything works? Why?” He meets m
