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
For bitter or worse Chapter 35. Stitched on the door
ADRIANAThe rest of the week goes by in a blur, each day a repetition of the previous one. We have breakfast together, watch over training, get some pack work done, have lunch with Ximena and Jenna or Poté and Alba. In the afternoon we go to his office in Malaga where he explains the basics per department and during the evening he either rapes me at his office or at the pack house.I feel hollow, numb and filthy beyond believe, but I’m also kind of getting used to it. When I play nice and follow his rules he is sweet and the love for his pack and family is amazing, if he would just show me that kind of love. That kind of devotion.Today is Saturday and we just got in the office to work on some small details regarding a deal he made with a new company he is going to invest in.Alvarez Bakery I think it is, I met the older gentleman that runs the company once this week when he came down to the office for a meeting with Liliana. At the moment I
For bitter or worse Chapter 36. She's mine
SANTIAGO“Don’t let me regret giving you this.” I breath into the crook of her neck. My teeth scrape along her mark and to my delight a shiver takes her body, my gatita, so responsive.“I won’t.” She breathes and watches me with open eyes, leaning back against the desk. I study her face. The open book it was a week ago long gone, dark circles around her eyes that have turned a dull shade of brown and green, her cheeks hollow from the weight loss. It’s worth it though, she finally listens to me now, she dresses how I want her to dress and doesn’t whine or cry anymore whenever we have sex.She’s finally becoming what I imagined her to be. Diego hates me for it however, hates what I have done to her, how I broke her down. The mutt hasn’t spoken to me since and it’s becoming more and more annoying.I lean back in my chair, thinking. I do need to get her to eat more, become healthy of body again
For bitter or worse Chapter 37. Meeting the council
ADRIANA Somehow, when I dress myself in the scandalous jumpsuit Santiago has picked for me, I find a bit of myself again when I look in the mirror. I lost a lot of weight but the fabric hugs every remaining curve, shows a great deal of my back, the burgundy color seems to make my eyes burn brighter and the tattoo on my back more vibrant. It’s like a reminder that somewhere between the wreckage there’s still the girl I used to be. When I rummage through the jewelry Santiago bought me I can’t help but chuckle when I spot the big and heavy golden chained bracelets. The irony just too much to ignore. They work great with the color of the jumpsuit and I finish up with a combo of golden and black necklaces, black strappy heels with golden heels and soles. Santiago watches me the entire time getting ready, the hunger in his eyes growing every second as he sees me work on myself. Fear for a repeat of what happened gnaws at me and prevents my confidenc
For bitter or worse Chapter 38. The meeting 1
ADRIANA When everyone is back at the packhouse Santiago leads the way to the dining room. He has his arm wrapped around my waist the entire time, holding me close to him like he is scared to lose me to Farkas or Brjent. The sparks from where his hand touches my back take the edge of this meeting for me, soothing the nervousness that is brewing on my insides. I was dreading to be in one room with all of them, Johanna and Brjent being the only exception. He opens the door and reveals the transformed dining room. The rectangular table we normally dine at has been replaced by a big, round one made from salvaged mango wood and brushed steel. The chairs are still the same though, dark brown leather seats and brushed steel undercarriage. The table has already been set and all the plates have nametags, making sure everybody is seated in varied seats instead of next to one another. I internally cringe when I see I am seated between Sophia and Emerson, the only worse o
