I should push him away, he is not under the influence of any drugs. I should walk away from this. Why is he being so free with me now? Where is the barrier that I had put between us for him to not cross? How is he so- my eyes widen as understanding sparks to light.Eyes snap to him swiftly with questioning. "You remember?" I ask whilst I seek for his truth."Remember what?""Last night." I say breathlessly heart thundering within waiting patiently for his answer."You mean like how your cheeks flushed and your body heated up when I held you beneath me or how you whimpered and whined whilst I took your lips with no mercy. If this is what you have asked of me, then yes. Yes, I remember." He speaks with no shyness striking me directly. H

"I am matel-" I am unable to finish the words for he swoops in swiftly pushing his lips onto mine. It was not a gentle kiss but a harsh one filled with his wrath. Eyes widening my nails dig into his flesh scratching his arms my fight to shove him away strengthens.He lets me go not because I want him to but because that is what he wishes. He leans back and waits patiently eyes twitching lips in a straight line. He watches on expressionless with an eerie calmness that arrests him."I said, I am already matele-" Wanting to show him I will not back down that I will speak my truth I rush with my words faster to finish saying it. I do end up saying it but into his mouth for he has captured my lips once more. Tongue thrusts deep fangs sink into my lower lip to draw blood, he kisses me relentlessly a scorching furious passionate kiss he gives

 Before the first warrior in line could shift, Deimos's wolf lunges for the male's throat giving him the gift of surprise.The warrior tries to fend him off with his claws that sink into my king's flesh with ease but he is relentless his teeth bite into the tenderness of the male's shoulder tearing a piece of flesh spitting it upon the ground as if he found the taste vile as the warrior groans and grunts in agony to what is inflicted upon his body.Deimos's wolf is unmerciful with the warrior fighting only with teeth that shred his flesh into pieces littering the ground with meat and blood. It is a quick death he gives him a deep hole he punctures into the skull of the wolf crushing the skull between his jaw holding him under his heavy paws until life drains from the male's eyes.

"Deimos." I whisper standing by the door not taking a step into his cave until he welcomes me in just like I was another regular wolf.He slowly gazes up at me and offers me a weak smile. "Mate. Come in, you do not have to wait outside. This is your home." He utters shifting into a more comfortable position, the bed groaning to his movements. Deimos never calls me by my name respecting my wish to not be called as such by him. It feels like we have retreated to our initial meeting when he calls me mate.I peek at the bowl filled with water next to a washcloth placed by his feet. "What is that for?" I question trudging towards him eyes lingering on the floor, unable to meet his that beckon mine. My voice is soft as if I were speaking to a pup, I saw the war within him. I know how he feels at this moment.

I know why he did this. This way we will not be bound to only the summoning scent of the other. This way we can breathe and not be pulled into another situation as such. He is taking measures just so I am not forced by the bond.He is blind, I am not forced by the bond. I touched him by my own will, on my own accord. It is him who is confused. But am I drawn to him merely because of the bond as he suggests? Or am I drawn to his soul and him as my mate and Kal's father? The root of our trials has ended, a new light has shone upon us. There is nothing else that shackles him to his faults.But there is one that constantly fights against the feelings of my heart. Our past. His choice, his betrayal. Now, that is a completely different thing. That lies in my hands, whether I choose to move past them or not. Whether the retribution he seeks sh
