Caught Between Hate And Desire

Chapter 6: Caught Between Hate And Desire

Madeline

The ride felt like forever. My hands wouldn't stop trembling, my chest wouldn't stop aching with panic and fear. I wanted to scream, to cry, to beg him to turn back, but I couldn't.

Not when I knew William's life was hanging on the thin thread. Not when Rowan had already made it clear he would kill him and come after my children if I didn't do what he said.

So I decided, I would do everything he wanted me to. Be his slave, as long as he doesn't go after the people I love.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, we finally arrived at the moon crest pack. The place I swore never to return to.

My breath caught in my throat as tears pricked my eyes. So many memories, both sweet and bitter rush back in. I could still see the young me, laughing with Rowan as a child. Running wild in these same woods. And then I remembered that night, that one night I should have avoided. The night of betrayal, where I lost everything.

I pressed my nails into my palms to stop myself from crying. I couldn't show him how broken I was. Not now.

Finally, the car rolled to a stop in front of the pack house. Shiver runs down my spine as my eyes land on the tall building, all the memories I've lost, flashing back to me.

Rowan got out first, then opened my side of the door. “Come out.”

I hesitated for a while, trying to wipe out the tears that were still forming in my eyes. I wouldn't want to give anyone any more reason to bully or look down on me, so the moment I get out of this car, I gotta pretend everything is fine even though it wasn't

As he led me inside, all eyes turned on us. Whispering, flying around like wildfire. I could remember some gazes, especially those who looked down on me and bullied me then, they were all stunned, bewildered to see the girl who they once mock is now a doctor.

The moment Rowan pushed the heavy door open, the air inside hit me, followed by the smell of sickness and herbs, my eyes scanned its way around the room and located its way to the bed, where his father was.

Laying flat on the bed, with his skin pale, his lips cracked and his chest rose and felt like every breath was battle he wasn't sure he would win.

A deep sigh escaped my mouth as I watched him turning his head weakly, a groaning sound of pain escaping his mouth.

A stabbing sensation pierced through my throat as I stared at him with sadness and looked back at Rowan who was waiting for me to speak

“ Why are you waiting?” He snapped , impatience dripping from his voice.

“Examine him immediately and get to work,” he commanded.

Even though I hate the fact that he's so commanding and dominative, I would do everything to protect his father. Because he was once a man I considered to be my father.

“I need my tools to examine him properly,” I murmur carefully. “I need a machine to know how deep it has gotten, but judging from his symptoms, your father has a brain tumor.”

The young man who stood by Rowan stumbled back in shock, his hands on his chest, hyperventilating.

“wow!” he exclaimed. His eyes brimming with surprise.

“She's so smart. How did she know without touching him?” He questioned with a curious tone but Rowan quickly shot him a glare, silencing him instantly.

“So fix it. Prove to me you're indeed one of the best doctors in the human world and cure him." His voice was rough, harsh, and aggressive like he couldn't speak without being rude.

At least he should pretend to be nice for once. Why must he always be so rude? It's hurting.

“I will,” I swallowed hard. “But I need the proper tools. He needs a surgery and without it, I'm afraid he will die. So he needs to be taken to the human world because I have no tools here with me.”

And with a deep breath, I let out the words, hoping he would agree to it even though I knew he would disagree.

“Come with me.” He snapped at me and walked away.

Well, not the answers I wanted.

If he agreed to it, then his father could be moved tomorrow. It's already late.

“I'm loe,” the young man said as he followed us. “Nice to meet you ma'am.” He stretched out his hands but I ignored.

“I've heard so much about you and it's such an honour to meet you here ma'am.”

Gosh, can he just stop talking already? He's distracting me from my thinking.

“That's enough, loe,” I cut him off sharply, glaring until he flinched before Rowan's voice broke in.

“Wait here, Loe. You” his eyes found mine. “Come inside.”

*****

As I entered his room, the memories of six years ago came flashing back like wild. Making my whole body tense.

If I could turn back time, I would have stopped myself from walking into this very room, but now… I have no choice. My loved ones were at stake.

A shiver ran down my spine as he leaned closer to me, so close that I could feel his scent. Stirring something in me I didn't want to feel. My wolf, still weakened by the wolfsbane I took, twitched inside me.

He wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to himself, so close that I could feel his d**k pressing unto my thigh.

So close that I felt the urge to rest on his chest and just cry out my heart. But no, he's my predator. My captor. The one I should keep hating.

But yet my body betrayed me. my p**say shouldn't be reacting to his presence this way. His touch on my skin. It drives me crazy and makes me want to commit sin with him once again.

“ your body remembers me, Your nipples are hard, I know you still crave for my d**k. I know you still want me, Madeline. ” His husky voice slid against my ear, making my heart flutter and my pants even more wetter.

“Now,” his voice dropped even lower, darker and sexier, “ take off your clothes, like the obedient Madeline I know you were, and lie on the bed with your legs wide apart.”
