Ch 5

Astrea’s POV

“Given our history,I should have seen this coming” the Lycan King muttered.

His eyes were so dark and angry that even dad had to look down on submission.

Turning to me and looking me straight into the eyes he muttered

“It doesn't matter if she has a wolf or a bear. Because she can never be the queen. A mistress just to warm my bed” he smirked.

I had expected this as he carried on

“After all who can even have her, she is so demure” he gave me once over.

I felt naked even though I was fully clothed. His words how much they hurt me, I held my head high knowing I was not the one who hurt him or his family.

“Remember those words. A day might come when you will regret them” I warned knowing I will make sure that happens.

He gave me a sideways glance “did I ask for your opinion?”

I shrugged my shoulders in response “No” I bit out.

“Good. Speak only when you are spoken to” he muttered.

“And if I don't?” I glared at him.

“You won't like the consequences Angel” he muttered.

“Stop calling me that” I hissed.

“Or what?” He stalked me. I stood my ground not letting him intimidate me.

“You are no better” I muttered as his close proximity affected me. I had to lean my head slightly back to look at him. He was 6’3 where as I was 5’7.

“I will show how much better I can get”

Suddenly he wrapped his hands around and pulled me closer, eliciting a surprised gasp from me. This gave him the chance to move and take my lips into a hot kiss as he invaded my mouth and claimed my right in front of everyone.

Goosebumps swarmed every part of my body as his touch invoked desires inside me which I have never felt before. His every bite, nip and kiss made me go crazy with want. His fingers gently glided down my face as he held me by the nape of my neck.

Slowly he peppered kisses down my jaw line and collar bone before pecking the place where my mark will rest and stopped.

I was breathing hard after the aftermath of the kisses. As I looked towards him, he looked so composed whereas I looked as if someone had created havoc on my mind, body and soul.

However his blue eyes had turned a shade darker. That was all the indication I needed to know that this kiss affected him as much as it did to me.

“What are you smirking at?” I snapped at him.

“I can do whatever the hell I want,” he muttered.

“You piece of shit” I jumped over him and tried to hit him as my legs wrapped around his waist. He held my hands, locking them as I glared at him.

“Just now you were all hot and bothered. What happened?” He murmured so that only the both of us could listen. I frowned at his sudden change of behaviour.

“Tell me” he insisted when I took a little longer.

Tears welled up in my eyes “You took my first kiss” I glowered.

There was a sudden change into his eyes as he placed me down.

Turning around, showing me his back, he muttered “Get used to it. I will be your first in everything”

“Hell will freeze over before I let that happen” I growled.

He turned around and gave me an amused look

“You won't,” he challenged.

“I will stop you” I stared right back at him.

“I will have you writhing beneath me in two days” he smirked.

“And I will make sure you get a good experience” I was sure that I will come up with a plan to not let him go through the challenge.

“I liked challenges” He smirked as he looked down at me

“And I make sure they are worth remembering” I murmured with a hint of secrecy in my voice.

“Interesting” he mused as he moved towards the door. I looked at him until he walked towards the door and stepped outside. A whoosh of breath left my mouth when he left.

Now alone in the room, I took the glass with shaky hands and took a long swig from the glass of water.

I jumped when someone banged the door from outside.

“What?” I snapped angrily.

“Get ready and come out. The Lycan King is waiting” I heard my dad from the opposite side.

I took a deep breath in order to calm my nerves.

“Fine,” I called out.

I was about to take my bag when there was another knock.

I glared at the door even though dad could not see it.

I did not bother replying even at the third knock.

“You seemed to like not taking orders” I jumped in fright and turned around only to let out a startled gasp as to how close he was standing near me.

“Why are you back?”

“I wanted to inform you that don't think of escaping. It won't do you any good. I will find you” he muttered. His eyes were dead serious.

I rolled my eyes and moved back “As I don't know that” I murmured in audible so only I know what I am saying.

He raised his eyebrows at me in an amused way.

“I heard that. I can sense even the slightest movement” he stated.

“Of course” I gritted.

“Come out before I drag you myself” he stated as he moved back creating some distance between us.

“Or what?” I challenged.

“Are you really sure you want to test that?” He asked.

I let out a sigh at the limited options I had.

“Never mind. I will be out in a minute”

“Good” giving me a nod, he walked out leaving me cursing behind his back.

“I heard that” he called out. I stopped muttering and glared at his back.

Taking my bag, I followed him outside for a journey I am not sure I want to take.
