Chapter Four

Katherine’s pov

It was my wolf who woke up first.Through the thick fog in my mind by the alcohol . I had caged her, now that I was unconscious she could come out.

She came out tasting the air. Then her instincts kicked in. Something powerful is here.

She called out for me, her voice urgent. She called until she pulled me out to consciousness. My eyes fluttered open, my body heavy against the unfamiliar mattress. This wasn’t my room at the pack house. I sneaked out to clear my head, that I remembered.

I listened to my wolf.

Then I saw it.

Not silver, not gold.

But red eyes.

They glowed in the dim light like room, it stared at me unblinking.

I froze. My heart kicked hard against my ribs. I jerked upright. I was a foot away from a wolf I didn’t know. His presence was pressing. It dominated. He wasn’t a weak one. My wolf panicked.

My lips moved before I even knew what I was saying. “How… where…” my hands curling on the sheets like they could save me.

He didn’t answer my questions. He just watched me and my inner battle.

Then his voice came. “How will you pay for disturbing my sleep, little wolf?”

The words came and my breath caught.

Then came the rush of memories. I was too drunk to notice that I had entered the wrong room.

“Oh,” I whispered, shame hitting me, my cheeks burned. “I… I’m sorry. I didn’t realize I entered the wrong room.”

I stood up while explaining I was determined to leave before the matter got worse.

Before I could reach the door I heard it.

“Stop.”

The single word was a command and my body obeyed against the will of my mind.

I could hear my heart beating. I tried to reason with him. My voice,low. “I didn’t mean to invade your space. I will leave now.”

One corner of his lips curved up, not quite a smile. “No.” he said quietly. “Not yet.”

The air in the room shifted to something different.

I stood rooted at his command.

And then he stood up in all his glory.

I looked at him with my mouth agape.

He was handsome.

He looked like a god who just walked out from a painting.

I hiccuped.

I was lost. His eyes were now black but it didn’t dim his presence; he was more than an Alpha.

I didn’t know what he was but his presence was overwhelming.

I then noticed he was bare chested, I blushed. His shoulders were broad, his body was toned, I noticed the tattoo that ran from his chest up to his shoulder then down his back. I stood there shamelessly gawking.

His voice brought me back and he repeated in a voice that made my surrender. “ How are you going to pay for disturbing my sleep?”

He walked towards me slowly, I backed up till my back touched the door. He stopped too close to me. We share the same breath.

I felt like my tongue was tired. “I…I… was drunk, I entered the wrong…..”

Before I could finish his hand found me on the floor without effort, he lifted me like I weighed nothing. I froze.

I gasped as he set me on the table and stood in between my legs. For a moment I couldn’t speak, his presence was overwhelming . He stared at me, his gaze fixed.

“You are staring,little one,” he said, his face unreadable. “You are drooling too.”

Before I could move, his lips crashed into mine . He was kissing me fiercely, stealing the air in my lungs.

My wolf who had been quiet protested. Her voice, sharp in my head.This is wrong. We have a mate.

A mate who rejected us.

I shoved her voice to the back of my head, locking her away. Maybe this was it, a stepping stone to moving on too.

I would let myself feel.

I would let this stranger wipe away Kenneth’s touch.

I drew in a trembling breath after he was done kissing me. “Ho… how do you want me to pay?”

His lips curled into a dangerous smile. “The little wolf has courage, doesn’t she?”

He shifted closer, his hand sliding to part my legs more, he stood firm between them. His gaze burned into mine as he leaned in to kiss me, slowly this time. I could feel the heat pulling in between my legs.

I thought for Kenneth’s cold rejection and the knives he had thrown at me the past few days. I kissed this man back with the same hunger he kissed me before.

At that moment I had made my choice.

The kiss deepened. My mind was clouded.

He pulled me closer, his manhood pressed against my heat.

I knew I wasn’t leaving this room the same.

The kiss was fierce before I realized it, his manhood was already touching my heat. My eyes grew glossy under the intensity of his gaze.

“This is how you will pay.”He slammed into me without warning.

I clung onto him tightly, my hand gripping him like my life depended on it. My head tipped back,several gasps leaving my lips, as his mouth traced my collar bone leaving marks and traces.

In one swift motion he lifted me and carried me to the bed without pulling out.My heart pounded in my chest as he raised one of my legs to his shoulders, holding me in place and exploring my insides.

“What is your name, little one?” He asked, his voice cutting through the haze.

I wanted to answer but I couldn’t get my voice out. How did he expect me to talk?

“Tell me!” He commanded. His tone didn’t allow disobedience.

“K… ka.. the.rine,” I stammered breathless.

I could feel something building below my tummy, it kept growing and growing.

The pleasure made my body quirk. I couldn’t hold unto my wolf anymore, she felt it with me.

We both exploded with ecstasy.

I thought he was finished but I was wrong. His eyes said otherwise.

He took me over and over again, his strength never faltering.

I lost count of how many times the stranger took me. My body was no longer my own, it belonged entirely to him.

It wasn’t until there was a hint of dawn until he left me.

Leaving me in exhaustion.

I drifted to sleep.
