Chapter 7: Busted!!

BUTTERCUP

A rival wolf burst through the door, snarling with teeth bared, and his eyes were locked right on me.

Draven moved faster than I could blink. He shoved me behind him and shifted halfway, his claws were out as he slammed into the attacker. “Stay back!”

The two wolves crashed into the wall, growling and snapping. I grabbed a lamp and smashed it over the rival’s head when he got too close. Draven finished him with a brutal slash across the throat which made blood splash across the floor.

He turned to me, breathing hard, with his half-opened eyes still glowing. “Are you okay?”

I nodded, my heart racing. “Yeah. But this is exactly why I need to leave, Draven. Your world is going to kill me.”

More shouts echoed down the hall. The lockdown held, but the fighting continued outside. Draven pulled me into a safer inner chamber and locked us in. His hands were still bloody when he cupped my face.

“You’re not leaving. Not ever because if you do, you'll die. How many times do you want me to explain myself to you.”

I stared up at him, my chest was tight. This was my chance to perfectly seduce him. I stepped closer, pressing my body against his. My fingers traced down his chest. “Then give me answers or I swear I’ll find a way out anyway.”

Draven’s breath hitched. “Buttercup....”

“Yes...” I rose on my toes and kissed him, slow and deep, tasting the adrenaline on his lips. My hand slid down his stomach. “You almost marked me earlier. You feel this double mate thing too. Tell me the truth while you’re still inside me.”

He groaned against my mouth but kissed me back harder. “You’re playing dirty.”

“I learnt how to do that newly,” I whispered, nipping his bottom lip. I pushed him toward the couch until he sat down, then straddled his lap. “Talk while I ride you, Alpha. Why can’t you choose me instead?”

Draven’s hands gripped my hips as I ground against him. “Fuck... you’re going to kill me.”

I reached between us and freed him from his pants. He was already hard. I stroked him slowly, watching his face. “Start talking. Why did you choose Seraphina? Why not me after everything?”

He hissed as I gently squeezed his already hard dick through his trousers. “The pack...they’re restless. My father chose a human and it destroyed us. Half the pack died because of it. The other packs saw it as weakness. If I pick you openly, they’ll challenge me. People will die. My own people will die.”

I lowered myself onto him, taking him inch by inch. We both moaned. “Keep going,” I breathed, starting to move. “Tell me more.”

Draven’s head fell back against the couch. His fingers dug into my ass as I rocked on him. “Seraphina’s family brings strength, warriors, money, alliances. Without that, Black Fang and the others will wipe us out. I’m trapped, Buttercup. I want you so fucking bad but the pack comes first.”

I rode him faster, with anger and pleasure mixing my emotions. “So I’m just supposed to wait in the shadows forever? While you fuck me and then go play house with her?”

He thrust up to meet me, hitting deep. “It’s not that simple. The double bond... it’s tearing me apart. I feel you here.” He pressed a hand over his heart. “Stronger than anything. But if I claim you, I lose everything else.”

I leaned down and bit his neck, making him growl. “Then maybe you should lose it for me.”

Draven flipped me suddenly, pinning me under him on the couch. He drove into me hard and desperate. “You don’t know what you’re asking. The pressure never stops. Every decision, every night, I feel my father’s mistake hanging over me.”

I wrapped my legs around him, meeting every thrust. “Then stop making the same mistake. Choose me, Draven. Choose us.”

He kissed me fiercely, his hips slamming faster and sweat dripped down our body. The sounds of distant fighting mixed with our moans. I was so close, trembling around him.

“Tell me you still love me,” I gasped, as my short nails were raking his back.

“I do,” he admitted, his voice sounded raw. “I love you too much and that’s the problem.”

I orgasmed, crying out as pleasure exploded through me. Then draven followed, groaning my name as he spilled his thick cum deep inside my tight pussy.

We stayed locked together, breathing heavily. For a moment it felt almost peaceful.

Then Draven pulled back slightly, brushing strands of my hair from my face. His expression turned serious. “There’s something else. Kai Thorn is back in the city. He’s been asking about you. If he finds out how bad things are here, he might try to take you.”

I felt uncomfortable from his last statement. Kai? Draven’s old best friend had turned rogue?

Before I could ask more questions, I heard footsteps approached outside the door.

“Draven!” Seraphina’s voice called sharply. “We have a situation with Kai’s crew sniffing around our borders.”

Draven grew tensed as he was still on top of me.
