Kendrick
"Lord Kendrick!" Her voice rang in my ears as she pleaded for mercy as I sat in my room to complete my work.
Did she think she could walk free after disobeying me?
I tried to fall asleep after completing my work, but for some reason I just couldn't. I was restless. It felt as if a part of me was missing.
So, I decided to spend the entire night working. However, I vowed to make her pay for snatching my sleep.
If she thinks she could use the mate bond against me, then she must be mistaken.
As punishment for her disobedience, I changed the lock of the room I had assigned to her and kept the lock so that she wouldn't go into the room to rest after being released.
If I couldn't get a sleep, then she doesn't deserve it too.
Since I couldn't sleep I started my morning routine quite early, and went for my workout afterwards.
Once it was done, I ordered her release and sat at the balcony of the gym house to watch the beautiful scenery.
I watched as she came up the stairs as I had made sure to make the elevator unavailable. She sat on the stairs and breathed through her mouth.
Watching her pitiful state through the CCTV filled me up with so much joy that I couldn't explain.
The goddess thought she could ruin me once more? I'll show her wrong she was to think that I would take it lying down.
She struggled to climb the stairs and would sometimes crawl on all fours. He teeth chattered as she came up the stairs, but I didn't feel pity for her, not even an ounce.
As soon as I noticed that she was close to the last floor, I went to the relaxing room to calm my nerves and prepare my mind for the day.
"Come in," I muttered as I heard the knock.
She came in panting and dripping all over. The loud chattering of her teeth was like Melody to my ears.
"K.... keys..." She stuttered.
"There," I pointed at the key on the table.
She took the key and moved to leave, but I was far from being done with her.
"I didn't say you could leave, did I?" I crossed my legs and set my cup of wine on the table.
"I'm...I'm... sorry," she replied in a shaky voice. She crossed her arms. "What would you have me do?" She asked obediently.
That was more like it. I smiled at her cooperation.
"Strip," I ordered and she immediately did as asked. She probably couldn't wait to get out of those wet clothes.
She took the clothes off and immediately stood naked before me.
"Turn around," I ordered again.
She turned, giving me a good view of back side. Her skin was flawless that I almost couldn't resist the urge to touch it.
I closed my eyes and hissed in anger. "Go take shower!"
She went towards the door and back, moving from one door to the other. She couldn't figure out where the bathroom was.
"That way," I pointed at the door behind me. "That's the bathroom."
She hurried towards the door and went in quickly. I sighed as soon as she was out of sight.
"What the hell!" I cussed at my body's reaction to her.
I picked a cigarette and took a puff while I thought of what else to do with her. Seeing her still standing strong after the torture got me pissed.
I couldn't sleep the entire night, yet she didn't look like she was punished at all. However, the stronger she stood, the more determined I was to break her.
Soon, she was out of the bathroom, and walked towards me in slow steps.
"Lord Kendrick, I....." She was about to speak, but suddenly stopped. I noticed that she was quiet and I raised my head to see that she had slumped.
I caught her before she could fall. "Hey, Kim!" I screamed as I caught her.
For some reason, my heart skipped to see her like that. Her hands and legs were cold. I picked her in my arms and placed her carefully on the bed.
I called the doctor and called Linda over to take care of her before the doctor's arrival.
I stepped aside to let Linda warm her up while I worked on my laptop. However, as much as I wanted to pretend like I wasn't affected by what had happened.
My wolf was pissed at what happened to our mate. He was itching to be let out so he could take care of her, but I managed to keep it in.
The doctor arrived in no time and immediately checked on her. His eyes widened as he took the thermometer out of her mouth.
"How is she?" I tried to keep worry out of my voice. I didn't care about her, so why should I worry for her?
"My Lord, she ...." The doctor paused and looked down.
He couldn't say whatever he wanted to.
"What happened?" I pressed for an answer.
My eyes caught the lady on the bed and I could swear that I felt something move in me.
"She fainted from hunger and exhaustion," the doctor paused. "Also, she's been exposed to too much cold..…." The doctor looked at me and stopped in between his words. "Don't worry my Lord, she will be fine."
"And why did you think I was worrying?" I hissed.
He covered his mouth as he probably realised that he's got me angered by his words. Everyone knows that I do not give second chances. I have immediate punishment ready for whoever irked or wronged me.
"My Lord," he cried. He immediately knelt before me and bowed. "Forgive me, My Lord, I was just....."
I ignored his pleas and stood up, I took one last look at Kimberly who was now as white as snow. Her lips were dry and her nose was pink. She looked like she was dying.
My wolf was so mad at me that he kept yelling in my head. "You went too far with her!"
Was I really too harsh on her?
Ignoring the tightness in my chest as a result of my wolf's pain, I went closer to the doctor and squatted so he could hear me as I said,
"Do your job or lose your life!"
