Now too engrossed with his girls, Eddison did not notice Alinta's presence until she cleared her throat. He looked at her with a dissatisfied look, at first he was annoyed that she was still there, but now having a closer look a new motive came to mind.
"Well well," he hummed then kissed the woman's bare shoulder on his lap, before gently motioning for her to get off so that he could stand up.
"So, my mate actually has the guts to confront me? You seem like quite the vixen now that I see you up close, but I could have sworn just moments ago you looked like a broken animal ready to flee."
He stepped intimidatingly close to her, allowing the bond to guide his movements. Angela and Alinta sighed at his presence. He was a captivating figure, with ash-blond hair and hazel, almond-shaped eyes. His bow-shaped lips were framed by light stubble, and his natural scent resembled a refreshing sea breeze. However, this aroma was nearly overwhelmed by the sickly smell of the other females who clung to him, their combined scents of sweat, perfume, and body odour overshadowing his allure.
"I thought of leaving, but seeing how these women were so glued to you I wanted to understand what the fuss is about," Angela said as she pretended to innocently readjust her dress to deliberately expose more cleavage then ran her a finger seductively down his chest. Sensual goosebumps and tingles erupted over Angela's hand and her mate's chest. "What makes them so attracted to you? Is it your charm, good looks or is it your status and money?"
Eddison instinctively leaned in towards Angela with now hungry eyes fixed on her. "I hope you are not disappointed?" he asked playfully as he wrapped his arm around her petite waist, pulling her towards him, and pressing her against his manliness. Angela felt butterflies erupt in her stomach and her body instinctively leaned against him. Eddison let out a pleased grunt and his grip tightened on Alinta as the bond was taking its course. Pleasurable sensations sparked between the two, something they never experienced before.
Angela looked at him with an unconvinced expression and said, "I was expecting something better, unfortunately." She playfully removed his hand from her and began to create some distance. However, he emitted a displeased guttural growl, grabbed her arm, and yanked her close to him, not wanting to lose the heavenly feeling he was experiencing. The perfect sensation for, fueling his sexual desires, a feeling he would never be able to compare with what he encountered in the past.
"Give the word, sweetheart," Eddison whispered, "and I can show you a wonderful time and grant your every wish." He leaned closer, his breath husky as he neared his face to hers.
Angela smiled, as she took hold of the side of his jaw, guiding his lips only just millimetres away from hers, making him firm his hold on her waist, becoming ravenous. She breathed in his face as she spoke she sensually stroked his wanting lips with her thumb, almost driving him insane.
"Alright, Eddison and Indigo Dives, I Angela Ull reject you."
Alinta nearly choked on her thoughts as the words left Angela's mouth. Eddison released her as he grabbed hold of his chest, snarling at the pain in his heart.
"You fucking bitch!" he screamed as he fell onto his knees.
"Technically your description of me is not entirely wrong arsehole," Angela giggled as she buttoned up her dress and tied her hair, refusing to allow the pain to show.
"How dare you pull such a stunt after I allowed you near me! I will fucking end you!" Eddison screamed. Security began to arrive and surrounded Alinta and Eddison. Bellinor was also present but hidden among the spectators as he carefully observed the situation.
"Damn, and I was under the impression it was women who can't make up their minds. I did you a favour buddy, I set you free so that you can continue your life unshackled as you poetically described," Angela said in a taunting tone while ignoring the people around her.
"How dare you allow me, but a taste of this divine feeling only to strip it away from me!"
"You don't deserve this blessing, and I only wanted to show you what you'd be missing out on whilst fucking those three eager barbies over there."
"As long as your wolf is still bound to us, you will never be completely immune to the bond, you will still want me," he said with a smug grin.
Angela imitated his facial expression. "I am her wolf arsehole, but thank you for the reminder!" she sang sweetly before closing and opening her eyes.
Alinta was back in control, she clutched her chest and said firmly, "I Alinta Ull reject you Eddison and Indigo Dives."
Eddison screamed and plummeted further to the ground, now holding the floor for support as Alinta and Angela severed their side of the bond. One of the women ran to him to offer him help. Alinta, held firmly onto her chest as the pain weakened her, but she still managed to stand on both feet. "Your turn, by the way my name is Alinta Ull and my wolf is Angela, in case you missed it. The sooner you do this the better, then you can return to your desperate little loose pleasure next to you," she said as she hid the discomfort from her face.
He looked at her with furious eyes, his mind scrambled from everything that had just happened. He felt hurt, confused, humiliated, and yearned for her all at once. "I refuse to do that, sweetheart. I will not let you have what you want so easily," he declared with a deadly smirk. Then he turned to a man standing nearby. "Gerard, restrain her at once and take my mate to the hotel. Where we can resolve this little dispute maturely."
The large man, who Alinta presumed to be his bodyguard began to approach her. She instinctively retreated, but knew she could not leave until she heard Eddison and his wolf reject her and Angela.
“I think it's best that you reject us and let Mr Gerard escort you and your three ladies back to your room. I don't want any of this crap here, ever!”
“Gerard! Stop dawdling; that is an order! She is my fated mate!” roared Eddison as he shoved the blond woman away from him while standing up.
Gerard silently approached Alinta, but Bellinor appeared suddenly in front of him, shielding her with surprising speed. "I'm afraid you can't do that, Mr. Dives. According to the law, once you have been rejected, you cannot claim your mate. Furthermore, you are in MY town, and I expect you to act civilly and rationally at this prestigious event," Belenore declared with a serious expression.
Turning to face Alinta, Bellinor extended his arm and cooed, "Come, my darling. Let's get you out of here." She hesitantly accepted his invitation, and together they walked away.
The bus stopped at the gas station for a refill, allowing passengers to stretch their legs. Still in his seat, Orion hunched over while grabbing at his chest; he grunted as he clung to his heart."Please, I pray, let me endure all this pain he is inflicting on her! Don't let her suffer anymore," Orion desperately cried. He knew that monster was hurting Alinta; what made it worse was that this happened multiple times a day. "He is hurting our fire lily again," Silas snarled helplessly as he nestled close, encircling Angela. "This is a lot worse than the last ones. What in the hell is he doing to her?" Orion exhaled in complete dread as his spirit continued to weaken. “I hope we find our beloved soon,” Silas whimpered. "The moment my feet touch that soil, we are shifting to our two-legged Lycan beast and finding that creature!" Orion grunted, now clawing at his heart. “You will need your strength for when we get there. Mind you, it was only yesterday you woke, and today we lef
At this point, Alinta abandoned the idea of playing the good prisoner and gaining Bellinor's trust. He was going to hurt her either way; all that was left was to fight back."I knew I should have trusted my gut, you are a fucking grotesque bastard!" she shouted as she elbowed his ribs and kicked his shin. Bellinor only laughed darkly at her ineffective attacks while he wrapped his strong arms around her, pinning her against him. She was so weak and helpless that it humoured and somewhat bettered his mood."This is not love; it’s a fucking illness! You have lost your fucking mind! Orion is my true mate! You did something to my bond with him! You are the reason Angela is gone!" she screamed in a voice Bellinor had never heard before. It was raw and of pure abhorrence.Bellinor grabbed Alinta by the neck, causing her to choke while slowly turning her around to face him. She did not struggle; she did not want him to enjoy her suffering anymore. His eyes were violet, and she knew Onyx was

Reader’s discretion is advised.Many agonising hours later, Bellinor flung the heavy steel door open, creating a loud boom as it hit the wall. He walked to a view of Alinta, clinging to her knees against her chest. She had bags under her red eyes and was visibly trembling at the sight of him.He gave her a loving smile, then proceeded to lift and carry a large bucket of steaming water inside while an elegant toiletry bag hung over his shoulder. He placed the bucket gently beside the bed and set the bag on the bedside table. He turned his gaze towards his prize. He felt disheartened when Alinta's wounds had not healed, finally confirming that she was indeed wolfless."Morning, my darling," Bellinor greeted utmost tenderly, but Alinta only looked at him in complete fear, whilst clasping her knees tightly. Bellinor kept smiling at her as if nothing was wrong. He turned hi

Reader’s discretion is advised.Alinta's head was killing her; everything from the hotel became a blur. She could only feel strong arms holding tightly onto her. Foggy images appeared of Bellinor's face looking contentedly at her. She would open her eyes with difficulty, only for them to be forced shut again due to the relentless migraine she was experiencing.The final flash was her feeling as though she was floating. The sound of eager steps hitting a stone floor made its way to her ears. Her thoughts became her own, but her body did not respond as she had hoped. Her chest was on fire, and her whole body was aching.She heard deep breathing accompanied by an anxious heartbeat. She tried to move again this time, but all she could do was slightly open her eyes to behold a blurred view beneath Bellinor's chin as he looked before him with a determined expression."Be
Gradually coming out of his enforced slumber, Orion pinched his eyes to his relentless splitting headache. He was confused and disoriented as he groggily released a groan of helplessness."Ah, you are finally awake," sang a snarky voice sarcastically.With difficulty, Orion looked towards where the voice came from. As soon as his vision cleared, he suddenly realised he was in a jail cell. Standing on the other side was a short and stout police officer with an unimpressed expression on his face.As soon as Orion became aware of his surroundings, he frantically got up and stumbled towards the steel bars. "Please, officer! You have to return to the hotel! There is a woman, Alinta Ull, who is in danger! Help her, please!""Your mate?" the officer asked dismissively."Yes!" Orion cried desperately."You can cut the crap. We know the truth, home wrecker," the policeman barked."She is my mate! That man did something to her fated mark! Please, he is hurting her!" Orion cried anxiously as he

Reader’s discretion is advised.Alinta was glad Angela was not there to witness and experience this ghastliness. She was terrified of Bellinor's deranged and angry side."I can't get enough of you!" he grunted and continued to raid her mouth while attacking her captured breast. He moved one hand to her backside, sensually stroking and pinching each cheek. His fingers slithered to her folds. Alinta jerked her head away at the sudden intrusion."What are you doing?" he roared angrily."I-I am sorry you took me by surprise," Alinta quickly explained in fear."You are fucking teasing me, Alinta!" he spat, displeased, as he glowered at her. He angrily flipped Alinta around, shoved her flat on her stomach, yanked her rear in the air and mercilessly took her from behind."Please, Bellinor!" Alinta cried, begging for him to stop."Oh my fucking divinity, you are all
