Semua Bab Kidnapped By Mate: Bab 11 - Bab 20

1. Chase of TerrorBELLE I screamed and felt tears of complete terror pour down my face. I ran. I wasn’t even sure where I was running to; I just let my legs carry me away from the nightmare that my life had become. I heard heavy paws running after me as I sprinted up the stairs, knowing it was Grayson on my heels. I panicked and ran into the first room I came across. That room just so happened to be the one I had first woken up in with him. I slammed the door shut and locked it. I backed away from it. It took precisely one second for something hard and large to start pounding against the door. I sobbed as the entire room shook. I continued to step backward until I felt my back meet the window on the other side of the room. I slid down, hugging my knees to my chest. He’s trying to break down the door. Oh my God. This is how I die. The door shuddered like it was seconds away from splintering. In the middle of the pounding, the door handle jiggled. I suddenly heard K

1. Pillow BarrierBELLE The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I had fallen asleep. After all the protesting I’d done, insisting to the wolf that I wasn’t going to fall asleep, I had. The second thing I noticed was that I was wrapped around another human’s body—a male human. And he was running his hand up and down my back in a soothing manner. “Grayson?” He kissed my head. “Yeah, beautiful, it’s me.” I noticed that I was holding on to his body like a koala to a tree. I quickly untangled myself from him and sat up a little, feeling my face heat up. I looked at him. Did I dream the whole thing? “You’re human again?” He smiled a bit. “Yeah. After you fell asleep, my wolf gave me back control, and I shifted back.” “I didn’t mean to fall asleep,” I muttered, angry that I had lost yet another battle with Grayson. He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. “I know you didn’t. You were being stubborn. But thank goodness you did because my wolf would not give me b

1. Pain of SeparationBELLEGrayson’s eyes darkened the second the words left my tongue, and I immediately moved back, worried that he would turn into a wolf again. He watched me closely. When he saw me moving away from him he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When his eyes opened again, they were back to their normal color. “Belle,” he breathed out. “You don’t know it now because I’m with you, but if I were to, for some odd reason, let you go, you would somehow find your way back to me.” I shook my head, ready to disagree and argue, but he kept talking. “Do you remember how it felt when I was away from you yesterday? How you almost fainted and were in immense pain?” I winced at the memory, but I nodded my head glumly. “Now imagine that pain intensified by ten. You were only downstairs, a floor away from me, when that happened. I don’t even want to think about what would happen if you were even farther away. Plus, your instincts would tell you to come back to me if I

1. Strength of Our BondBELLE Sweet relief from the pain that I had dealt with for the past several days came crashing into my body, and I let out a sob. Grayson wrapped his arms tightly around my middle and then shifted them to beneath my butt so he could lift me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and clung to him for what felt like dear life. “I’m so sorry,” he whispered into my hair. “God, I’m so sorry.” I nodded my head to show that I understood, and pressed myself closer to him. “I’m sorry too,” I whispered into his neck. He squeezed me gently. No more words were needed. We stayed like that for a few minutes, just holding each other and breathing each other in. It was pure bliss, and I never wanted it to end. But then Grayson moved. I panicked. Was he going to put me down? Was he going to leave me again? He must have sensed my panic because he ran a hand soothingly up and down my back as he walked. “Shh,” he said. “I’ve got you.” He carried me past the room I’d

1. Dance of TrustBELLEGrayson placed his hand on the small of my back and pushed me toward the bathroom. “Grayson, no! That is not what I meant! We are not taking a shower together!” Grayson said nothing as he walked to the shower and turned it on. He came back to me and placed his hands on either side of my face. “We can keep our underwear on if that would make you more comfortable.” He reached down to play with the hem of my shirt, never taking his eyes from mine. I shoved his hand away. “No! I am not taking a shower with you!” He wrapped his arms around me and gently brought me close to his body. He leaned down and placed a kiss on my ear. “Just let me take care of you. Please.” My heart melted a bit. I sucked in a breath. “I—well, I—” I sighed, feeling defeated. “I can’t think of any excuses. But I’m keeping my underwear on and you are too!” He smiled widely and placed a quick kiss on my lips. Then, without looking away from me, he lifted my shirt over my head a
