2025-06-09 18:00:13I felt so guilty, despite wanting to stab him only the day before, which was ridiculous. I knew he was starting to get around me. Worst of all, he knew it too. I watched on helplessly as he headed over to the sofa and slumped down on it. There was nothing I could do to help him because he wouldn’t accept any. I had seen the bruises already starting to form on his back. I was sure he must have broken some of his ribs, at the very least. He needed to be checked out, but that would involve everyone outside knowing that I had kicked his ass. Not the best thing for the Alpha to admit to his people.
He could refuse my help all he wanted. I wouldn’t let it stop me. I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder, shoving him forward harshly. I did it on purpose, knowing it would hurt and leave him powerless to disobey me. “Hey, that hurts, you know?”
“Yes, I’m aware. Hold still.” I ran my hands down his ribs slowly. I was trying to work out if he had broken any, but in a

Before I could get anywhere near him, his hand came around my throat and pushed my head back so far I thought it would pop off. Not stopping his actions for a second, but looking right into my eyes. “Esme, you don’t want to do that. I know you don’t. You need to fight it.” I shook my head slightly. I wanted to do it more than anything else in the world. If his grip hadn’t been threatening to decapitate me, I would have fought him off just to be able to drain him.“You need to learn to shut that side of you out. Concentrate on your human emotions, the connection.” His movements were so calm and slow again, and I knew he was doing it to give me time to snap out of it. I tried to do as he said, but it was like I was lost in the darkness and any feelings my human self had were the faintest pinprick of light.I could feel that something had changed in him. He wasn’t holding himself back any longer. The grip he had on my neck increased. The power of his thrusts became almost

I hated that he had such a great ability to get under my skin. It made no difference. I might have wanted to stay with him for so many reasons, but there were even more reasons to leave. For one, my parents still didn’t know where I was or even if I was alive. I needed to speak to them. It wasn’t like Brodie was stopping me from doing that, but I knew if I spoke to them, it would break me. They would want to know where I was and I would want to tell them. I couldn’t do that, so it was safer to not get in touch until I could tell them everything.I headed for the stairs. I knew he wouldn’t be able to stop me, but I also knew it wouldn’t stop him from trying. He grabbed my upper arm and forced me to halt my climb. I turned to him and I knew there was nothing but hate in my eyes. I summoned every ounce of hate for everything he had done just to hurt him. If it worked, he showed no indication. “We need to talk about what happened before. Even if you’re going through with this sui

I might not have been able to read his mind like he could mine, but I knew he was going to answer the damn door. The way he stopped and the amount of anger radiating from him made it more than obvious. He buried his head in my stomach and I felt the vibrations from him groaning into it. If I hadn’t been so pissed off, I might have laughed.“Sorry, blood sucker. Get dressed and don’t forget to cover your shoulder.” He laid a final kiss on my stomach before he jumped from the bed and headed straight up the stairs. He didn’t even bother putting more clothes on before he went. I was much less graceful leaving the bed and grabbed my clothes from the floor, hitching up my leggings as I went. I slung the top over my shoulder while I fastened my bra up and headed over to my bags. I was quite impressed with my own multitasking abilities.I heard Brodie unlocking the door while shouting at whoever was on the other side, “This had best be fucking important.” The hinges squeaked s

The next morning, Brodie announced we would be training, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I took my time taking a shower, anything to put it off for a little longer. It was going to mean that I could no longer avoid close contact with him. I had turned the shower cold and just stood there, letting it chill every inch of me. I hoped that if I was cold enough, it would offset at least some of the heat that radiated from him.As I stepped out of the little bathroom wrapped in my towel, I could feel his gaze on me. I could already feel the heat of his desire from across the room, and it was intense. I grabbed some clothes from my suitcase and started to get dressed. On a whim, I dropped my towel and got dressed freely as though he wasn’t even there. It was as though his desire was daring me to do it. As my peachy skin was revealed to him completely, the waves of intensity became more powerful and I almost expected to feel him come up behind me. He didn’t, but I could sense he

The rest of that day, we just hung out in the basement in pretty much complete silence. I worked on my assignment for most of it and I was glad to have something to focus on other than Brodie. I wasn’t ready to get swept away by him and his charm. Although the idea of Brodie having charm alone was an odd concept. I still struggled to understand how someone could play such completely different roles. Whether he was being honest or not, he was still playing both roles. I just didn’t know which one was the truth.The fact was, he had given me no reason to doubt him since Jackson had left us alone in the cabin. Countless times he could have abused me in any manner of ways, but he didn’t. The whole time, he had been just like he had been before when I knew him as Pip. The same protectiveness emulated from him in everything he did.Despite the way he had been, I still knew I needed to keep my distance. I needed a clear head to be able to work out the truth, and whenever he w
