2307 Words
He smiled ‘This is your home’ He pointed out ‘You don’t need an invitation’
I was taken back by his comment ‘This is your home’ I blushed, dam it, why did he always make me blush ‘I don’t live here’
‘Yet’ He shrugged and stepped aside ‘After you’
I wiped my already clean shoes on the mat and stepped inside. His home was lovely. I walked timidly down a white hallway filled with various paintings and plants and came to a large sitting room. A large round wooden coffee table was placed in between plush white couches, more plants were sitting around the couch, Alpha clearly loved nature, it smelt woody’s inside, I wondered vaguely what I smelt like to him, but I pushed that thought aside, I was on a mission.
‘This way’ He continued through an arch doorway that led us into a huge kitchen, a marble island was in the center with papers and his breakfast, if you could call it that, it was slightly burnt toast and scrambled eggs that looked extremely dry, how could anyone burn toast?
‘I’m sorry’ I said quickly ‘I should have come later, you’re having breakfast. I just thought it would be best to get this over with early, you know, rip the band-aid off quickly and that kind of thing’
‘Take a breath Kat’ He smiled and sat down a metal stool with a thick, comfortable-looking cushion on top ‘Sit down, would you like something to eat, to drink’
I shook my head and remained where I stood.
‘I’m surprised to see you so soon after last night’ Alpha Wyatt looked at me as I bit my lip and looked away from him again ‘Surprised but delighted, I thought you’d take longer to come and see me’
Again, I said nothing and gripped the folder harder.
He sighed and lent one arm on the island ‘What’s that?’ He nodded towards the folder.
‘Um.. it’s’ I felt tears fill my eyes. Sh*t, hold your sh*t together Kat
Alpha Wyatt’s face changed instantly, going from confusion to worry.
‘Kat?’ He reached out ‘Come here, come sit down’
I shook my head ‘I’m not staying’ I said quickly ‘I just, I just needed you to know the truth, I needed to show you why you should reject me’
The King rubbed his face, a habit I’d noticed him do whenever he was trying to calm himself down.
‘How many times do I have to say it’ He looked at me seriously ‘I will not now, not ever, reject you’
‘Yes, you will’ I whispered, I took a deep breath and placed the folder down in front of him on the island ‘Open it’
He frowned but opened the folder ‘Is.. is this your medical history?’
‘Yes’
‘Why are you showing me this?’ He started flipping through pages, skimming the words but when he got to the third page that outlined my fertility, his hand froze and his face paled.
‘What is this Kat’ He growled and looked up at me ‘What am I reading’
‘I think it’s pretty obvious’
‘Answer me!’ He growled and slammed the folder shut.
Tears pricked my eyes and I jumped slightly.
‘When I was attacked’ I touched my chest out of habit, touching my scar through my dress ‘The silver from the knife, it poisoned me, it’s still in my blood, we’ve tried everything over the years to get it out, blood transfusions, witches, potions, nothing's worked’ I gulped and wiped away the tears falling down my face ‘And because of the silver in my system, I can’t’ I took a breath, my voice was shaking with tears ‘I can’t have children’
He looked at me, not saying anything, so I continued, bracing myself for his rejection.
‘I can’t give you children’ I cried ‘I can’t give you an heir, If I even managed to fall pregnant, the silver would kill the baby, you need to pick someone else, someone better, someone who can give you what a Luna is meant to give her Alpha’
I wiped away more tears and still he remained silent ‘Say something’ I pleaded.
‘What do you want me to say?’ His voice was low.
‘Right’ I nodded ‘I’ll give you some time’
‘I don’t need time’ He said as I turned around to leave, I closed my eyes, preparing myself for the words that would rip my heart out. I knew I couldn’t accept his rejection, not for another year, but I would leave the pack until then, I’m sure he wouldn’t object now
I tensed as I heard Alpha Wyatt get off of his stool and walk over to me. He stood directly behind me, I gasped in shock when his arms wrapped around me like a vice, and he pressed his face against my shoulder.
‘I will say this one more time’ He growled passionately ‘I will not now, not ever reject you, I don’t want to be with you just to get an heir, I’m not with you for some possibility of a family, I want to be with you for you’
‘But the pack’ I cried ‘It needs an heir’
‘And it will get one’ He told me ‘I have two siblings. One of their kids can have the title, I don’t give a f*ck about any of that, I will make sure the pack is taken care of’
‘Stop it’ I snapped and pulled away from him, I looked at him, my face twisted in anger ‘Stop being so noble, you don’t ow me anything, I know you want to be a dad, don’t you get it, you can’t have that with me, some other girl can give you that’
‘I don’t want another girl’ He stepped towards me, but I stepped back. What did I have to do to get him to reject me ‘And I’m not being noble, I’m being selfish, for the first time in my entire life, I’m being selfish, I’m choosing something for myself, I want you, I don’t care what the pack thinks, I don’t care if we ever have children, I don’t even care if you reject me, I’m not letting you go’
‘You’re impossible!’ I screamed, my eyes darkening, Alpha Wyatt looked at me with pure lust ‘I won’t let you do this, I won’t let you choose me when you can’t have that son you were so excited to have, I’ll just wait and reject you when I turn 18 like I planned’
I spun around and stomped out of the kitchen and into the sitting room, stupid stubborn controlling jerk of an Alpha, can’t he just? My thoughts were cut short when Alpha Wyatt grabbed my arm and spun me around with force, causing my dress to flow up from the wind of my movement.
I gasped as he grabbed me around my waist and pulled me off my feet, I felt my stomach drop but in a good way as I wound my arms and legs around his body.
‘Alpha, stop!’
He grabbed my face and pulled my mouth to his and the butterflies went into a frenzy in my stomach, I wanted to resist him, I wanted to fight him off, but there was nothing inside of me that had the strength to stop him.
Alpha Wyatt laid me down on one of the couches, lying over me, while my legs were still wound around his hips and he pressed his body against mine.
My fingers eagerly ran through his hair, pulling him closer, while I involuntarily let out a moan of pleasure, his tongue was deep inside my mouth, clashing with mine, I’d only had my first kiss Friday night. This was too much for me to handle, to intense, but I craved more.
I felt my body heat up, and I grew embarrassed and self-conscious when the smell of my arousal filled the air around us, Alpha, however, didn’t seem to care though, in fact, he growled and slid his hand down my body, touching me where no one had ever touched me, he began running his hand up and down the outside of my thigh and gripped my ass as he pressed his hard p***s against me.
I felt completely at his mercy, and I loved it, I would let this man do anything to me, I wanted to please him, sh*t, stop this Kat, you’re only making it harder on both of you.
‘You are mine!’ He linked me and I shivered in excitement.
I thought I’d heard the door open and footsteps, but I was too caught up in the King's every movement to really register it, he obviously felt the same way because we both jumped in surprise when Beta Beau spoke.
‘F*CK!’ He shouted and turned around, Alpha Wyatt growled furiously at him and quickly sat up ‘I didn’t see anything!’ Beta Beau quickly ran out of the house while I laid there breathing hard.
Alpha Wyatt looked down at me, his eyes darkening, and I realized my legs were completely open, I gasped again and pulled myself from the couch and stood up, straightening up my dress.
‘What are you doing?’ His voice was rough, longing, and it made me weak ‘He has gone, I’m sorry he saw you like that, I’ll kill him later, no one should see you like that but me and Kai, but we don’t have to stop’
‘I can’t’ I was completely flushed, and my legs were shaking
‘Why?’ He asked in confusion ‘I know why you were rejecting me now, and I don’t care, we can finally be together’
‘No, nothing’s changed’ I was completely overwhelmed. What was I thinking? ‘I shouldn’t have, this is your sitting room, we shouldn’t, I’ve never done anything like this, I’
‘Right’ He looked angry and rubbed his face ‘It’s your first time, I’m a f*cking i***t, I’ll take you to the bedroom’
‘What’ I gasped, my breath still hadn’t returned, I wanted him, I wanted him bad ‘I’m not, we’re not, this was’ Sh*t, why couldn’t I think clearly. Was I about to let him f*ck me. Oh my goddess, I think I was. I would have let him do anything he wanted ‘I have to go’
‘What?!’ Alpha Wyatt growled as I rushed out of the house ‘Kat, KATOMI!’
I was grateful he didn’t stop me, Beta Beau was leaning against his car, but he avoided my eyeline, which I was grateful for that as I was still completely red with embarrassment.
I started the car and reversed out of the driveway quickly and sped home ‘F*CK!’ I screamed and hit my steering wheel ‘YOU STUPID SELFISH B*TCH KAT!’ I screamed at myself.
‘You’re not’ Remi said gently ‘It’s natural to be with your mate. You’ve done nothing wrong Kat’
‘I could get our whole family killed’ I started crying and quickly pulled over so I wouldn’t crash, and I let myself cry hard ‘I have to get out of here, I have to leave’
‘NO!’ Remi pleaded ‘Please Kat, don’t go, think of Wyatt and Kai, it would break their hearts, I don’t want to lose Kai before I’ve even had him’
‘Stop’ I pleaded ‘Please’
‘No’ She continued ‘I’m not going to stand back and let you hurt our mate anymore’
‘Remi please’ My head began to swim, everything was building up.
I was so scared of getting caught, my whole life I had to hide, my whole life I had to play a part, pretend to be the perfect Lycan, the perfect girl, so I wouldn’t gain attention.
My whole life I had to listen to stories about the Fae being evil murdering bastards, I had to hear stories from the warriors going on about their kills and how the Fae would beg for mercy.
I had to live my life on this thin breakable rope and never allow myself to fall, otherwise I’d get my family and myself killed, and now I was the Alpha’s mate.
The closer we got, the closer he got to finding out the truth, the closer I got to my death, to the deaths of the people I loved, and now I had Remi, this constant nagging voice pleading with me to be selfish, pleading with me to give in, it was too much, I was already trying to ignore my own desires, I didn’t need hers too
‘Kat are you listening to me!’ She screamed angrily ‘I want KAI, you’re being selfish!’
‘SELFISH!’ I screamed ‘I’VE NEVER BEEN SELFISH, NOT ONCE IN MY WHOLE LIFE!’
‘KAT!’
‘SHUT UP!’ I screamed with a rage I’ve never known and all the glass in my car exploded around me, cutting my face, my arms and then the car engine lit on fire, I screamed in fear, I was terrified of fire.
‘KAT!’ Remi screamed
‘What was that!’ I shouted as I clumsily fell out of the car, my whole body was screaming in pain, it was so much worst then my first shift, I couldn’t breathe.
‘MATE!’ Remi linked Alpha Wyatt as I began to pass out ‘HELP!’
‘REMI!?’ I heard Alpha Wyatt’s terrified voice, I screamed again ‘KAT?!’
Everything went black and the pain vanished.
