Kalen's pov....
I stared at her in anger.
She might be my mate, but she hasn't been accepted yet, my beast might whine and crave her, but that doesn't give her any right or mean that she is entitled to sh*t.
I don't care who she is right now, I'll teach her a lesson that would remind her to always respect her king.
"She may think that you’re hers or that you belong to her , because you're dating, but you and I both know the truth.
You. Are. Mine!!” She growled out angrily and flashed her fangs at me.
I almost snapped, I snarled in dark rage at her, she has completely lost her sense of self. Her show of disrespect, will put her in a terrible cross hairs with me.
"Xenadia " I growled out in a loud warning tone.
But she didn’t back down, she wouldn't back down, she just kept on talking.
F*cking stubborn female.
“ You know things will never work out with her.
Open your eyes Kalen, she's human. She'll never understand what it means to be a Lycan, to be an Alpha female, to be your Luna.
Heck she might not even accept you.
This is just a phase and it will pass.
I'll help you, I promise.
Or.. oh my goddess, don't tell me you're thinking of turning her.” She said bursting into a laughing fit.
“On a normal day she’d barely survive a werewolve's bite.
Much less that of a Lycan King.
Wake up Kalen. This isn't a joke.
Whatever lofty ideas you're having will remain just that, lofty.
And when goddess forbid, she dies from your bite or an attack, what will you tell the humans?" She asked
”Listen here, you disrespectful cunt.
It is no longer Kalen to you. It is Alpha king.
Secondly, the next time you speak about her in such derogatory manner again, I’ll rip out your throat.” I growled out, my aura becoming darker and even darker by the minute.
But I didn't stop there.
“What part of, I do not want this do you not understand.
I don't want you Nadia, not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
You and I, it'll never happen.
I need you to get that into your thick skull and get the f*ck out of my palace.
Just save yourself the embarrassment and go home.
Can't you see I'm doing you a huge favour?
I'm giving you the chance to go out there, find a man you truly love and be happy?
You don't need to force yourself into believing you were created for me because you were not. The only woman for me is Adaria, she's the one I choose. Not some love sick puppet from the goddess who has no freaking idea what I want, otherwise you wouldn't be here trying to convince me to accept a bond that I intend to ignore and reject.
This mate thing is never going to happen.”
I finished In one cold breath.
I could feel my claws digging deeper and deeper into the table I was still leaning on.
I was struggling to be as civil as possible, struggling to keep myself in check, because a part of me just wanted to rip her apart and get this over with. But as for my Beast Koa, he'd rather die first than let me kill his mate.
Right now though, Koa was fighting to come to the fore, he wants to see her for himself, feel her and run his hands through her pretty ginger hair but I'm not one to loose easily.
If Koa was stubborn, I was worse.
I would never lose a fight so easily.
“ I need you to leave. Don't come back here.”
I ordered as I turned around to go take my seat but she came after me, in a rush.
She was fast, in fact too fast, but still not fast enough.
She'd tried to get her canines into my neck, to bite into that soft part, that is exclusively reserved for my mate.
I instantly saw red, I lost it.
I easily caught her by the neck, my hand wrapping itself tightly around her neck, my claws digging deep into the sides of the delicate skin of her neck as she bled.
Tingles rushed through me but I ignored them. I could break her neck now, if I so wished, bit I didn't.
I felt the sharp pain on the sides of my neck too, as my canines dug deeper.
But the pain I am feeling, isn't too bad, since we hadn't officially mated and marked each other.
“DID YOU JUST TRY TO MARK ME?” I spat out angrily as I squeeze harder at her neck even further, forcing her lycan to come to the fore, in a futile effort to heal and protect her.
She tried to loosen the tight grip of my hand around her neck.
“Ko-a” she croaked out gasping for breath.
But, immediately she called his name, he forcefully tried to take over, causing me to flinch and flung her halfway across the room.
I didn't stop there, I was beside the wall before her body made impact and caught her before she hit the floor and flung her again in another direction.
Her body bounced of the wall and this time, I punched her from under her jaw.
The sound of the sickening crack and the searing pain I felt, stopped me in my tracks.
I instantly moved away from her and slammed my fist hard into the thick oval-shaped wooden table.
I growled out angrily, as it broke into two. This time I let out a frustrated thundering growl.
I was still struggling to regain control over my Lycan when she began to cry, her tears stained the dust filled area where she'd landed.
She lay sprawled on the floor, her lycan healing her broken bones from the impact of hitting the hard reenforced wall which now had large cracks on it.
She felt betrayed and I could feel her pain but I just needed her out of my sight.
She is the one thing that can becomey undoing. She was slowly becoming my kryptonite.
“GET OUT!!” I thundered.
”Kalen.” Axel called out as he stormed into my suite.
He quickly ran over to Nadia's side and bent over to examine her.
He sighed as he helped her up and took her outside to Mona who of course had been waiting, almost biting her nails off in anxiety.
After sending her off with Mona discreetly, Axel stormed back into the suite angrily. Pacing back and forth as he took in the entire situation.
He went over to the small living room section and plopped into the chair.
“ I’m in no position to tell you how to handle your business, but for your own sake and that of the kingdom. I really hope you know what you’re doing Kalen. Because this is no way to treat a woman and most especially your mate.” He finished in the calmest manner possible.
“I’m off to the Pack house. I have more serious things to attend to.” I replied nonchalantly as I grabbed my coat and walked out.
“Nadia is no longer welcome in the palace. The next time you see her, lock her up if she refuses to leave.” I gave the order to my head of security Izan as I got into the car.
When I was this angry nobody dared get in my way or looked me straight in the eyes without a good reason. My aura right now was extremely dark, so dark I needed to release all these pent up anger and there were only two ways to do that. s*x or prey hunting.
I obviously couldn't go to Adaria in this state, not like this. My rage would probably kill her, so with that out of the question I decided to go hunting before my meetings.
"Stop the car."I ordered angrily through mind link.
Nadia is a stubborn b***h, she of all people know how dangerous I can be when I'm riled of or this angry why she would try to pull that stunt with me is completely baffling.
She must have lost her senses of she thinks, she would get away with stuff like that.
I wasn't talking to my Lycan Koa and he wasn't talking to me at the moment either because right now I wasn't exactly sure who I was angry at.
Nadia. The goddess. Koa. Myself. Everything.
But it all made me certain of one thing.
I needed to speak to Adaria and it had to be soon.
