Kane put his bottle of beer down on the counter, "follow me" he ordered as he walked out of the kitchen not sparing me a look.
I followed after him heading towards the stairs, as he walked up them he began to slow, I knew he did that for my benefit hearing me wince at the pain in my side as I began climbing them. We reached the top walking around the banister Kane points to the door ahead of us "That's the attic, nobody really goes up there it's just for storage" he continued to walk "All these rooms are taken there's only a select few who stay here in this house, im pretty particular about who I let in here, im quite a private person"
"You don't say! so where is my room" He walked to the end of the hall, up three more steps pushing open a large door, standing to one side he motions with his arm for me to enter ahead of him, walking in the room I first noticed the size, this room alone must cover the whole side of the house, it was big, so big I could probably fit my old room in here ten fold. It had evenly spaced out furniture and a beautiful dressing table that any girl would dream of
The bed was against the back wall it had to be bigger than a queen-size bed. walking up to it I notice the large frame that was around it "that's the built-in cinema" I watch as Kane walks around grabbing a remote from the bedside unit, pressing it the frame began moving, a large flat screen tv began to appear at the foot of the bed and small speakers flipped round at the headboard. "wow" I gasped the shocked expression all over my face right now seemed to amuse him slightly, so much for the blackwood pack living the primitive lifestyle.
"Ok so bathrooms over there, you can grab some of my clothes out the closet to wear for tonight, then tomorrow we can arrange to have the rest of your things brought here" he said not really showing any emotion.
"your clothes? why are your clothes in here?" I asked confused.
"This is my bedroom, where else would I keep them?" he asked as if it was a dumb thing to say.
"So why am I in here? where is my room Kane" I asked the last part slightly slower as the realization of what was actually happening dawned on me, please don't say what I think you're going to say?
"This is your room Embry, you're my mate, you belong in here with me, and when your ready you will be introduced to the pack as their Luna" Oh my goodness, they were right, he really has gone crazy.
"Are you ok? do you have medication that you've missed today or something" he creased his brows in confusion looking at me as though I was speaking in a different language.
"Sorry, I'm not with you, what?" he shrugged.
"Why the hell would I want to stay in here with you? you've barely spoken two nice words to me, you've threatened my pack attacked my family, and now what you want to be spoon buddies?" I began to shout, he didn't look as though he was going to listen much though as he began walking towards the door.
"Ok while you start the shouting thing again, I'm heading downstairs, everything you need is in the bathroom I'll be back up in about an hour" not waiting for my response he walks out slamming the door behind him.
"d**k" I shouted after him as I stormed towards the bathroom slamming the door behind me.
Well over an hour later I was still laid in the bath, I really didn't want to get out but the temperature was dropping rapidly, I leaned forward releasing the plug from the drain, pulling myself up I grabbed a towel off the heated rack, I'll definitely give it to Blackwood they know how to live a luxurious lifestyle.
After I towel dried my hair leaving it to free fall down my back I wrapped the towel around my body heading out of the bathroom and towards the closet where Kane said his clothes were. As I pulled open the doors I was shocked to be greeted by my reflection, as the mirrors that covered the whole back wall glistened as the light beamed to life automatically.
I walked in trailing my fingers along the rails of clothes down the left-hand side all neatly stored away, underneath were several racks with shoes on, this man had taste I'll give him that.
Looking at the opposite side I was shocked to see it completely empty, walking ahead I opened a drawer grabbing a pair of Kane's boxers and a shirt I quickly get changed before he came back up and sees something I reallydon'tt want him to see.
After getting into bed and figuring out how to work the tv I laid down under the cover relishing in the comfiness of the sheets, if someone had told me this morning that I would be laid in Kane's bed I would have laughed in their face. He wasn't exactly what I thought he would be, was this all a part of some sick game he was playing? everybody knew that he didn't want a mate, he killed his mate, maybe I was his second chance mate everybody knows if you lose your second chance you don't get a third. Is that why he was keeping me around? was it his guilty conscience, hell, did this monster even have a conscience.
That was something I wasn't sure of, what I had picked up on though was that he had an amazing body I wondered what he looked like if he was to smile a genuine smile. What his laugh would sound like, shaking my head I tried shifting the unwelcome thoughts out of my head, damn mate bond.
My mind was going into overdrive, groaning I threw back the covers, shifting my legs over the edge of the bed I got up and headed back into the bathroom, noticing Kane's toothbrush in a holder on the side reminded me I hadn't yet brushed mine. I opened a cabinet finding an unopened toothbrush slowly squeezing the toothpaste on the end I began brushing my teeth.
I heard the door open back in the bedroom, as I finished rinsing my mouth I walked out of the bathroom finding Kane standing in the doorway of his closet, he paused as soon as he was me just staring at me, he looked me up and down and I saw his eyes turn black, he took a step towards me, as he did I took one back nervously not knowing what he was about to do. He suddenly stopped clearing his throat and giving his head a slight shake.
He had snapped out of whatever he was doing and walked back into the closet out of my view. I quickly walked to the bed and climbed in it pulling the covers over me pretending to watch the tv, keeping my focus away from him. Within minutes he walked out of the closet now wearing a pair of loose-fitting grey joggers and a black vest, it was a look that definitely suited him but I still remained focused on the tv not letting him know I had noticed him walking out the closet..
He walked over to the bed pulling back the covers "I'm still not happy about sharing a bed with you" I informed him not taking my eyes off of the tv.
"That's fine, you don't have to like it as long as your here every night and im not forced to go looking for you, things will be just fine" so this is what he wants to just dictate what I will be doing every day, I could feel anger slowly rising inside me.
"Don't think just because im here that gives you the right to boss me around" I began to argue.
"I don't want to boss you around I'm just saying this is your room, you're not to sleep anywhere else" he turned to look at me "ok" he added.
"Whatever just stay on your side of the bed" I heard him chuckle to himself at my request, "I don't find it funny" I chastised him.
"Look, I don't want to spend my nights arguing with you, you're my mate and I think we just need to make the best out of this situation" I looked at him as he looked back at me, I sort of believed the words he just spoke, but why now? what was different now?
"Can I ask you something then?" He nodded, this intrigued me, was I finally going to get an insight into the big mean Alpha Kane, I rolled onto my side to face him.
"Did you kill your first mate" He looked up to the ceiling, his eyes avoiding me at all cost now, maybe I shouldn't have started with such a brutal question maybe I should have started with something easier.
"No I didn't" he whispered.
"What happened? if you don't want to tell me it's ok" I tried to probe further.
He slowly looked back at me, "All you have to know is your my mate, there has never been another one" he sounded upset, I didn't want to ask anymore, it was clearly a sore subject for him, im not sure if I believed him but there was definitely something that he wasn't saying.
"Ok" I agreed to drop it, for now, he put his arm over his head, to hide his face, I took this opportunity stealing these matter of seconds to admire his body, he really was built like a god if I didn't know what I did about him I would be all over him right now, but what did I know? if it was all lies about his mate what was the truth?
I rolled back onto my back looking at the tv once again, after a while I could feel my eyelids becoming heavier by the second.
"I want you to know your safe here" Kane spoke his arm still covering his face, I didn't reply, not because I didn't want to but because I had no idea what to say.
