เข้าสู่ระบบI snorted, shoving him away as hard as I could, which was not very much,
but at least it was able to put a bit of distance between us.
“look here!” he snorted, looking at me like he was seeing me for the first
time.
“I don’t know what is going on with you, but let me make this clear to
you, there is no fucking way I am going to let you reject me! You are mine,
and there is no way I am going to EVER let you go”
I let out a humorless laugh. Memories from my past came flooding my
mind, how he would lock me up each and every time I spoke out of turn or
treated me like I was a nobody.
“do you fucking understand me” he said
through gritted teeth.
I tightened my fist, looking at the same man that had been with my sister
not too long ago. It was not the first time he did something like this. In my
last life, he had built a reputation for himself as someone that slept with
many woman.
I never cared for those rumors, hoping that one day, he was going to
change for me and be a better mate “we really were foolish, weren’t we?”
my wolf whimpered, too scared to speak out loud in case he heard us, even
though it was not possible
“I understand” was all I said,
“I would like to dress up for the event now” I
said, bowing my head. He seemed satisfied with how I responded, it was
obvious from the way he responded and nodded, thinking he had won the
argument.
“don’t be late, I would be waiting for you downstairs with the remainder of
the pack.
” He said, walking out of room and house.
I looked around.“I would rather suck a cactus” I snorted as I pulled my hair into a bun,
throwing the clothes I had on for a shirt and trousers so that I could better
move.
I looked at the window, looking around to see if anyone was watching me
even though I knew that there was no one.
I climbed out the window, breaking out into a run as soon as my legs
touched the ground. There was no way I was going to let him come near, or
even dare to let him claim me as his mate.
I could hear yelling from a distance, making me run faster.
“fuck!!” I
muttered as the yelling got slightly closer, which could only mean one thing,
They found out that I was trying to escape.
I pushed forward, ignoring the protests of my body to stop.
“I really can’t go back, just to the borders, please” I murmured, begging my
body to cooperate with me but my body seemed to have a mind of its own
because I tripped.
On my own two feet!!
I cursed, trying to get back up, only to find out that somehow, I had
sprained my ankles, making it impossible to keep running.
“that would be a bother, wouldn’t it” I heard a voice from behind the tree,
making every inch of my body to go still.
I was ready to kill whoever it was if it meant that I was going to get out of
this pack. I turned, ready to jump at my prey when I saw… him.
The cool evening breeze seemed to make his face seem even more
appealing as his hair was now framing his face perfectly.
“It’s you” I mumbled, my body buzzed, just like it had done in the office
earlier.
“And it is you, isn’t it?” he smiled, stretching his hands for me to take.I looked at it skeptically, not trusting him one bit.
“It’s either me, or you go back to them” he said, giving me a knowing smirk
as though he already knew the answer.
“Fuck it” I said, taking his hands.
He pulled me to himself almost instantly, making me lose my footing as I
was not prepared for him to pull up like that.
“I love your smell” I said, burying my nose in the crook of his neck. I felt my
body go stiff as I realized what the actual fuck I had done.
“I am sorry!! I swear I don’t know what came over me, I just…
” his hands
tightened around me.
“don’t move, they are around” he whispered into my ear, making me lick my
lower lips, trying to keep the moan that threated to come out of my mouth.
“what the hell was wrong with me? Am I in heat?’ the questions kept
popping in my head, making me take in a deep breath to try and clear my
head, but it was worse.
His scent clouded my mind as soon as I took in a deep breath.
“you know love, if you continue this way, we may not be able to wait till we
get to my kingdom before we consummate our marriage and form our
bond” a bit of teasing in his voice as he spoke.
“I am sorry, I think you have me confused with…
” he watched me pull away
from him as I trailed off, the faint smile at the former of his lips as though
my confusion was enticing to watch.
“I guess you still have things to figure out” he said, talking as though he
was talking to a child.
“I’ll give you three days and then I’d be back. Make sure you wrap
everything up by then” it sounded as though he was giving me a command,
yet in some way, it wasn’t.“you have some nerve talking about kidnapping me you know?” I laughed
awkwardly, looking around to see that we were far away from the pack now,
I doubted they were going to hear me even if I did scream for help.
‘great! You followed a stranger to the woods! What where you thinking?’ I
scolded myself, but at this moment, it was too late.
I could only hope that if he was going to kill me, he was at least going to
make it a swift merciful death.
He threw his head back and laughed before pulling me close “I’ll see you in
a few days mate” he said under his breath.
My brain did not have the time to register the words because in the next
second, his lips were on mine, light enough to want for more, but deep
enough to feel his presence. I opened my eyes, wanting to say something,
or even push him away and scream about being a pervert, but as soon as I
opened my eyes, he was gone, leaving me to wonder if I was really
becoming a crazy person
The stronger his grip on my arm the fiercer my temper became. Everything about this situation was maddening, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before I practically exploded from the rage I felt building inside of me.“Let go.” I said the words as slowly as possible. I was doing everything I could to stop myself from snapping at him, and he definitely wasn’t helping matters.“I will not.” He said, right back at me. I felt my temper flare out of control, but before I could say a single word, he continued.“You are my treasure, Eloise. You are mine to love, to hold on to and to protect. I will do anything in my power to protect and treasure you.” He was looking at me like I held his world in my arms.I didn’t want to believe it, but something in me told me it was true, and I didn’t want to think about it even one bit.“Anyone that touches even the tiniest hair on your head will pay, and they will pay very dearly. No matter who it is.” It didn’t even matter when it was his best friend’s mat
Eloise’s POV My heart beat hard in my chest as I looked from Natalia to my mate. What was he going to do? It wasn’t her fault that I was holding the knife. Why was he taking things so far?“Olpheus,” I started, my voice sounding shaky even to my own ears. I took a deep breath and continued, “You don’t have to be so ridiculous, Olpheus. I did this to myself. No one should be blamed for my own-” I didn’t get to finish my sentence. “Shut up!” he growled, his eyes full of nothing but venom.My lips sealed on their own and my heart beat really hard in my chest. He had never spoken to me like that before, and hearing him talk to me like that sent a shiver of fear down my spine.I was lost in my thoughts, trying to wrap my head around the fact that he had spoken to me like that.I didn’t notice one of the men speaking up, but I was snapped back to reality when I noticed the tone he used.There was something fiercely possessive in his tone. When I looked back up, my eyes landed on Fredrick,
Eloise’s POVI woke to the sound of voices somewhere near me, but I didn’t open my eyes. I recognized Olpheus’s voice almost immediately, low and firm as he gave instructions to the maids. He sounded like he had been awake for a while, and from the movement around the room, I could tell they were already carrying out his orders.“Make sure her food is prepared properly. Everything she needs should be ready,” he instructed, his voice carrying easily through the room. I remained as still as I could beneath the covers, pretending like I was still sleeping as I listened to the activities going on around me.The maids continued moving around the room, their footsteps soft against the floor as they went about their work. I could hear dishes being arranged and utensils being moved, and every now and then, Olpheus’s voice rose above the quiet sounds as he gave another instruction. I listened to every word despite pretending not to, following his movements through the sound of his voice unt
Fredrick’s POV I closed my eyes and drew in a slow breath, trying to calm the racing of my heart. I had faced situations far more dangerous than a piece of paper, yet somehow this felt more difficult.I folded the report carefully and slipped it away before walking toward Olpheus. He looked at me the moment I approached, his attention immediately sharpening as though he could sense that something was wrong.“Nolan has been spotted at West bridge.”Olpheus straightened. “West bridge?”I nodded. “Yes.”“I’ll be out in a minute.”“Very well.”I turned and walked away, but the moment I stepped into the corridor, I released a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. My heart was still beating too quickly, and no matter how many times I told myself to calm down, my thoughts refused to settle.I slowed my steps and took another deep breath. Nolan was at West bridge. That was what I should have been thinking about, yet my mind kept returning to the report hidden inside my coat.I pulled it
Fredrick’s POV “Who is Eldagore?” I asked. She looked up from the floor, annoyance written across her face, plain as day.“is this why you called me away? To ask about this? I’m going to lose a day’s worth of pay for this??” her voice was becoming increasingly louder, but I didn’t mind.I would rather she screamed at me for the world to hear than for her keep me locked out.“How much?” she looked confused for a moment, before her face fell in realization. Her lips remained sealed shut.“How much is it, Natalia.” She looked at me with an emotion I couldn’t quite understand. That was the way things always were between us, I couldn’t understand a thing about her, no matter how hard I tried to.“Why do you want to know?” There was a fire in her eyes now. “Do you want to throw money on the problem just like you always do?!” She was heaving now, that fire I had somehow come to love burned hot in her eyes. Like a wild fire that couldn’t be quenched.“I don’t want your money, Fredrick. I ne
I shook my head in response. “No.” I honestly didn’t know if not hearing from them was a good thing or not, but a lot had been going on lately and I was glad they hadn’t shown up again.He nodded, looking just as tired as I felt.“Take care of yourself.” He said, making his way out of the room.I looked at him.“And don’t think about this too much. Whatever is going on with your mate, it will pass.”I didn’t answer immediately, I wanted to believe his words too, but the way things were going I knew it would be a long time before things would actually ‘pass’.“It’s probably just a phase in the relationship,” he added.I nodded, because u was too exhausted to actually form words.The moment the door closed behind him, my mind wandered back to our last conversation. Maybe I had overreacted.Maybe I’d been too quick to assume something was wrong.I rubbed a hand over my face. I should probably try talking to her. Instead of sitting here imagining every possible explanation, I could go t
