Her Fated Alpha

Chapter 6 UNDER HIS WATCH

“What are you doing here?” Elijah confronted his sister with a reprimanded glare.

“I was……….” Effie immediately trailed off when she saw the look Kayne was giving her.

He was not happy with what she had done at all.

Before she could finish her sentence, Kayne angrily brushed past her side and opened the door. To his surprise, two guards were lying on the floor, groaning in pain. And the rest one was kneeling in front of Cerise with his hand clasped in hers.

She looked up when he entered the room and without breaking eye contact with him. She pushed the guard’s fingers back so hard and the sound of bones snapping echoed in the room, along with his painful scream. The guard fell back on the floor, she stepped over him, and faced Kayne.

He breathed out angrily when he saw what she had done to his guards. But secretly, he was also impressed with the way that she easily handled all three of them without even breaking a sweat.

Who is this woman?

A few more guards suddenly walked into the room and waited behind Kayne, ready for his command. They eyed the injured guards on the floor and glared at Cerise.

Kayne's eyes briefly left hers for just a minute and then trailed down to her wet clothes. His throat tightened when he noticed her figure looming under the soaked clothes. But nearly at once, he noticed that he was not the only one who was aware of it--the other guards were glaring at her too.

That made him inexplicably unhappy, especially for the way they were all staring at his mate with lust visible in their eyes.

“Get out. All of you!”

He ordered with a hard tone and the guards left the room without a word while also helping the guards on the floor to leave also.

As soon as the door was closed, leaving them alone in the room, Kayne took off his jacket and placed it around her shoulders, leaving him in his white shirt only.

Even though he still felt extremely angry at her, she was still his mate. And he had decided last night that he would not kill her but give her chance to live. So that he can find out the truth about her.

“What’s your name?” He asked her sternly.

“Hmm. So, now you’re curious.”

He narrowed his eyes at her for her sassy comment.

“I asked you a question.” He demanded more strictly and she sighed before telling him.

“Cerise.” She answered more softly.

Cerise. He likes the sound of it and it’s a unique name which fits her so well.

“I won’t apologize for what Effie did to you. I think that was enough to give you a wake up call--that you’re in no position to run or escape, unless you tell me the truth about how you were in my territory yesterday.”

She stared back into his eyes with a hard look on her face.

He was willing to do whatever it takes for her to spill out the truth. But if it turned out that she was really associated with the rogues who his ex-wife had ran away with, then it’s going to be a huge problem.

“Wow, we’re straight back into that? Not gonna thank me for saving your life yesterday?”

“No. So you’re gonna tell me or do you still want to play around?”

She narrowed her eyes back at him.

“I already told you, I am not with those people that attacked you yesterday!”

He looked into her eyes more closely. It’s hard to tell whether she was really telling him the truth or not, because she was really good at maintaining that poker face, masking her real emotions so well.

“Okay, but that’s not going to be the reason for me to let you go. You’re going to stay here, under my watch, till we know for sure that you’re telling me the truth.”

She crossed her arms angrily and frowned at him.

“You have no right to keep me in here forever. You can’t just take away my freedom like that!”

He smirked back at her and took a closer step towards her, his hand reaching out and toyed with a loose strand of her hair.

“But I can, because you’re in my territory right now and you’re in my house. And in here, I’m the one that make the rules and I call the shots. Plus, you’re not qualified to negotiate anything with me or refuse anything I say.

Unless your identity is clarified, you’re not allowed to go anywhere until I say so.”

In one quick motion, his hand snaked her waist and pulled her close to him, making their chest collide. His eyes slowly traveled down to her lips and then he smirked at her again before leaning down to her ear.

His cheek lightly brushed against hers and he nearly lost control when he felt how hot her whole body was just by under his touch;

“Understood?”

It was right at that moment when Cerise realized, she was trapped.

Her life was not going to return to normal ever again. Now this man standing right in front of her who oozes power and authority had her under his control. It was pointless to refuse anymore.

But if the truth is what he wants, then she’ll give it to him.

At least, he’s going to have to try harder first if he really wants to know.
