Stay Away From Me

Ronan POV

She stops breathing when I'm near her. Literally. I think she is going to pass out. Is she stupid or what? Is every human dumb? 

"What are you doing in here?" I asked, glaring at her. I commended her for not evading my gaze. 

Her breath shudders. Finally, she allows herself to breathe. "I was told to be here." 

"Get out, find another room. You can't stay here," I demand. 

"I don't know where to get another room. I don't know anyone to show me," she answers quietly. I grabbed her arm, and I felt something like static rush through my hand. I want to release her, but don't. I drag her outside into the hallway and throw her on the floor. 

"I don't care," I grit, angry. 

"What a shameless slut. Already seducing him!" Sadie comes to my side, glaring down at my wife, who glares back.

"What is going on in here?" Gigi's sharp voice came. My grandmother soon walked to us, escorted by my fifteen-year-old sister, Flora.

"Mrs. Obsorn! Princess Flora!" Sadie screeched, going to hug her, but my grandmother's expression made it clear she didn't want a hug. She never liked Sadie.

Her eyes found me and then my bride. Josie swallowed nervously, standing straighter. Gigi was an intimidating woman.

"Josephine, right?" she asked, and my wife nodded, yes. Gigi gently grabbed her chin, and studied her face for a few second.

"Beautiful as a rose."she said, and Sadie gasped, almost crying. The human got the Queen Dowager's approval while she spent years working for it but it was futile.

" Welcome to the family, and come to me for anything." 

"T- Thank you, Ma'am," Josie said, stuttering a little. Gigi turned and left, but stopped in her tracks, sharp icy blue eyes, like my father's on me.

"And Ronan, a man shouldn't put hands on a woman. It's crass, dear. You're a king," she added before leaving.

My sister excitedly went to greet Josie, and her whole face brightened. 

"Hi, I've been waiting for you," Flora grinned, holding her hands, and taking her back to my bedroom.

"Hi," Josie smiled, so softly and delicately. Pretty as a rose indeed. 

"King Ronan, you can't let her in there!" Sadie shouted. I coo her, and tell her I won't before going to see my grandmother in her study. I barged into her office, and Minister Gareth was with her. 

"Now I have to sleep in the room as her!" I roared. They exchanged glances and sighed. I had respect for my grandmother; she raised Flora and me after my parents' death, and fought to keep my position when it was threatened. I took her advice half of the time. She's the one who even convinced me about this marriage, but damn, I hate that I listened! 

"For a marriage to be considered, you must consummate," she said in her usual cool voice. 

I glanced at the minister, but he just shrugged. 

"I have a mate, and she's going crazy because of this!" I tried to reason. No one was considering my feelings or Sadie's. They couldn't care less about the bond!

I loved the lycans, I wedded a human for them and sacrificed my happiness, but that is enough. 

"I'm not doing it!" I declare and storm out of the office. I was growling, seeing red! I rush back to my bedroom and find her getting ready for bed. I grab her neck, our faces close. She is breathing heavily and smells of fear. Good. 

"Listen to me, stay the fuck away from Sadie and me if you don't want to die. Also, I won't sleep with you ever!" I growled in her face. She is shaking like a leaf. 

Her eyes narrowed at me, "That's a relief, as I said, I don't want to sleep with you either," she dared to grit her teeth, angry. Fucking human. "You could have saved us the trouble and rejected this marriage. You're all-powerful, right? Aren't you all as powerful as they say?" 

I squeeze her throat tighter, and she winces. My inner lycan whimpers. Pathetic fucking lycan, Rafe. 

'You're pathetic, not me,' He snarls. A small tap on my arm made me release her, and she took in a deep breath, getting on her hands and knees as she coughed harshly. I wasn't even holding her tighter. What a drama queen.

"I'm king of the kingdom, and what I say goes. You'll do well to remember," I warned. Her eyes were red, filled with tears, but she managed to glare at me. I left the room and went out for a run. Rafe didn't hate this as much as I did. He found the human fascinating and wanted to see more of her. I didn't, and if there were a way to end this marriage, I would. 

I stopped suddenly when I felt like I was being watched. My eyes snapped to my left, and I saw them, very red eyes glowing in the dark; there was no scent. I growled and darted towards the eyes, but they were faster and used the tree to escape.
