Chapter 62: I said no

Alice’s point of view

Everyone says that when you get marked, you feel a sharp pain replaced by intense pleasure.

As Derek's fangs close on my neck, I do feel a sharp pain but it only gets worse by the second.

I feel a link forming between us. A powerful link that goes until the deepest of my soul.

I hear a harrowing scream. For a moment I think it's mine, but through my tears I see Elliot throwing himself at us, mad with rage and anger.

The guards next to him hold him down and tackle him to the ground. I see him struggle and one of the guards seems to grab a baton to hit him.

Derek finally let go and I rush forward to stop the guard's arm inches from Elliot's face.

"Derek, you promised." I say as I raise my head to him.

He wipes the corner of his lip where some of my blood had gotten stuck.
