Chapter 16
Bethany's POV
My friends...
Gosh, why did I not think about them when I decided to activate my revenge plans?
The only thing I was thinking about was how to get rid of that asshole because he is making me feel soft-hearted. I just couldn't stand being close to him, I couldn't think straight with him being this close to me. When he kissed me, my whole world turned upside down, I couldn't control my body as I responded eagerly to his kisses.
As I lay on his bed, I felt his warmth surround him and his scent nearly suffocated me. I wanted him to touch me, I lost control of my own body, all I wanted was to feel the closeness of his body as he pulls me close to his heart. All these feeling felt like an abomination, I just could accept it. The moon goddess had made a mistake when she paired me with this monste of a man. I couldn't bring myself to fall for him, I just can't do it, that is why I took action when I got the chance and now my friends are going to suffer for it.
I need to check on them and make sure they are doing okay. Graciela needs me to check on her sisters. How can I do that when I'm cuffed up here in his room?
A part of me wants to also check on him and make sure that he is okay. I never wanted to do it, I did not mean to pull the trigger when I did. Alexia was telling me not to hurt our mate and I was starting to have second thoughts about my actions, then he spoke out and startled me, causing me to pull the trigger. I had no idea that the safety pin was up, I wouldn't have gone along with my plans, but he caused it, he made me do it. Now he's lying somewhere, probably weak and paralyzed because of the wolfsbane and there is nothing I can do about it.
I heard the sound of the front door being pushed open and I stood up from my sleeping position, waiting for his entrance. But then I caught a whiff of a scent and I knew immediately that it wasn't him, it wasn't my mate's scent and it sure wasn't Carl's. I became more cautious when I heard the sound of hills that told me that my visitor is a woman. Could it be that rude omega that took us to our rooms earlier?
I could not perceive her scent when I first met her, the scent masking spray I used to mask my scent was messing with my wolf's senses. But she was a bit hostile to me that day, her scent wouldn't be as nice as the scent I just perceived. As werewolves, our beasts can detect the attitude of an individual from their scent. That girl Bianca, her scent would not be thi calm and peaceful. It could be a different omega, the other omega had been nice to us, so I'm guessing it's her or another omega that is equally nice and cool to be with.
My stomach churned when I caught the whiff of food, that was when I realized that I'm so f*****g hungry. I did not get a chance to eat at the party and it's almost I0:00 am already. The door pushed open and a beautiful brunette walked in, wearing a black leather trousers and a black jacket. She wore a knee-length black boot that compliments her dressing, making her look badass, yet gorgeous. I know her, it's the same girl that was sitting close to Carl last night. I could recall that he said he was mated to her and that she was his mate from the moon goddess. No surprise there, she is quite a beauty, but I hate the b***h because she stole my man. I'll never forgive her for that.
She walked in with a tray filled with food and when she saw my position, she cringed in shock as she hurried towards the bedside table and she put the food down gently before pulling something out of her hair, I think it's a pin or needle of some sort. She held between her fingers as she rushed towards me. I moved back in fear when she move towards me, for all I knoy she could be a crazy psycho b***h that wants to kill me for dating her mate. What is wrong with everyone in this castle? “Move away from me, don't come any closer, I'm going to scream.” I warned pathetically while struggling to pull at my cuffs before she attacks me.
“Relax, I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm trying to get you out of those cuffs," she let out grumpily, causing me to still in my movements. Why is she helping me, I don't even like her, besides she could get in trouble for helping me out of these chains “What are you doing, why are you helping me?” I asked curiously as she helped me off my cuffs.
“I'm not helping you, I don't like you and I don't like your attitude. I'm only doing this because king Dominic asked me to, besides it would make Carl happy to see that you are in a better condition.
“Yea, Carl. The guy you stole from me, you bit...
Well, I was going to say, you b***h, but the hot resounding slap that landed on my cheeks. She slapped me so hard that my face turned the other way. I could taste the tangy taste of blood in my mouth and I knew she had broken my lips.
“Why the f**k did you do that?" I yelled furiously, holding my cheeks to curb the pains. It's going to heal pretty soon, but damn, it f+ hurts.
“You over-entitled b***hII” she spat out in disgust, taking me aback by the level of her hatred. For f***s sake, she stole my man and their crazy king killed my parents. If anyone should be angry here, it should be me and not the other way around. I kept staring at her in shock, as she glared down at me in disgust.
“You think the whole world revolves around you, don't you?
My fiance took a beating because of you, he wasn't supposed to come up here, but he did anyway because he claims that yo are not all bad and he can make you change. He has never defied the king's orders but he did, because of you. The King found out and beat him up because of you. Yet you sit acting all nasty because you think you can have whatever you want. Well, boo-hoo,
Carl is my mate, deal with it, Beth. I didn't choose him, the moon goddesses brought us together and ill be damned if I let
you ruin our relationship.
I've known king Dominic for more than six years now and if you must know,
you are the first woman he has brought up here. You are still alive, not because you are his mate, No. The truth is, he would
never have hurt you even if you were just another girl on the street. He is not a maniac, he doesn't go about shooting peopl,
like you. So before you judge him, why not sit back and ask yourself who among you two is acting like a freaking lunatic.
Now eat your food and go take a f*****g shower, I have other businesses to attend to.” She said abruptly before turning
around to lift the tray she had seated on the bedside table and placing it in front of me.
I don't know why I'm feeling guilty, I don't even know how to respond to her words. How could she accuse me of acting insane, where was she when he killed my family?
Now it's his turn to get bullied and I'm being called a lunatic for being bold enough to stand up to him?
That's plain stupid!
If you ask me, she iis the crazy one, but I have no time to barter words with her, my stomach is rumbling and these foods (00 quite delicious. She has brought some toast and scrambled eggs, adding a plate of fruit salad and some butter chicken with Cajun spices. I attacked the food without mercy, ignoring Carls girlfriend who sat by the window looking out into the sea. Shy is right though, I acted stupidly. It was too early to initiate an attack, I should have waited for my friends to leave here safely then I can begin my plans for revenge.
The only problem with this plan is that I can't carry it out without falling in love with him, I can’t let him know that I'm affected by his close proximity, he may use it to taunt me and that would only make me love him even more. I think I'm doomed in this Castle. My friends are depending on me and there is no way I can check on them if I'm locked up here. The question is, what is more important to me, my revenge on king Dominic or the safety of my friends?
I guess I have to choose my friends for now, after all, they are still alive right now but my family aren't. I could act cool around king Dominic until they leave this psycho castle, then I can resume on my revenge plans. That may be the key to ending this tyrant. He would think that I suddenly fell in love with him and he'll let his guard down, giving me a chance to avenge my parents. I just hope I don't fall for his seduction and end up falling in love with him for real. No, that's never goin to happen, I won't allow it.
I turned to Carls girlfriend. For some reason, I don't seem to recall her name. She is staring at her phone and smiling, so I believe that she is either chatting with someone or maybe she's surfing through the Internet or Facebook. I have to find a way to make her feel comfortable around me, I need to make her believe that her little pep talk from earlier, or should I call it an angry outburst. Whatever it was, I need to think that I now feel remorseful and that I'm now willing to make amends. I'l let them all believe that I'm now ready to give him a chance like they all want, then when my friends leave here when their guards are down, I'l strike with full force and get revenge on everyone that has hurt me. I don't care if you think I'm going crazy, I just can't forgive him for wiping out my entire family, I can't move on with my life until I hurt him back, just the way he hurt me three years ago. I just can't, I have to get revenge for my family.
“Am sorry for putting your mate in trouble, I never wanted that to happen. I never even wanted to shoot the King, it was all 2 mistake and I'm sorry," I lied to her, giving her my best pitiful look, trying to make her believe me.
“Don't apologize to me Beth, do it to the guys, if you really mean it. I don't bear grudges and I don't have any issues with you I'm sorry for hitting you, I just got pissed when I heard you talking down on Carl and the king” She responded with a small smile playing on her lips. Her eyes glistened as she smiled, making her beauty more striking.
“If there's anything I could do to make it up to you and your mate, you just have to say it and I'll do it I assured her, trying t make her believe that I've truly changed.
“Actually, there is something you can do to make this all go away. Our king is acting like a big baby because of you and he is refusing to take the drugs to purge out the wolfsbane from his body."
“Fine, I'l take the drugs over and apologize to him, maybe he'll accept my apology and take it from me."
“Actually Beth, that's not what I was implying. Doctor free left angrily and he didn't Leave any more drugs with us. But you can help him purge it out if you want to, after all, you are his mate and everyone knows that the best way for the poison to leave the body of a strong and powerful Alpha wolf is through his s***m, you can let him have you and I'm sure he'll purge out every single drop of poison in his system.” She said naughtily as she giggled softly. I couldn't say a damn word, I just kep saying at her in disbelief. Does she mean what I think she means?
How could she suggest that I screw that bastard?
Yuck, that's so repulsive.
Wait,
If it's so repulsive, then why am I getting wet all of a sudden?
No, I ain't doing it.
“I can’t do it, I'm not ready for that I muttered softly.
“I thought as much. If you are done with your food, I'll take out the plates now. I need to go heat some water and clean the blisters in his fist. He got some terrible blisters while punching Carl and now he cannot heal because he has wolfsbane in hi system,” she said sadly
Damn this girl!
She sure knows how to make one feel so guilty. She is even a better actress than I am. Gosh, she's good.
“Fine I'll do,” I said with a defeated sigh.
“Yes!” she screamed happily as she threw a fist in the air in excitement. What is it with these people and why do they love him this much?
I must be missing something here, it's just so bizarre and no matter how hard I try, I still can’t understand it. I got up and strolled into the bathroom, stomping my feet angrily, banging the door when I got into the bathroom. I did my morning routine, bathing and brushing my teeth, I would have washed out my dyed hair but I don't have the chemicals to wash out my redhead so I simply took out my lens and left my hair shining a bright red, then I stepped out of the bed to see an outfit on the bed with a note that says,
“I helped you pick this outfit, it would look good on you. I'm going to the kitchen to get the hot water and a towel, Ill be bac up in a minute. By the way, my name is Harriet and thank you for doing this Beth," she said.
“Thank you for doing this?” does she really think that I'm going to f**k him?
She is such a joker.
She must have gone through my stuff to get these clothes. That's rude, but I must admit, she had read my mind because this is exactly what I would have picked for myself. It was a transparent red shirt that stops right below my ass, it's made of a net with large holes and it's completely see-through. She got out a red bra and a red thong to go with it. By the side of the bed i my red pumps that would go perfectly with my outfit. I just hope king Dominic doesn't see through my lies, I hope he forgive me and accepts my help. I combed out my redhead and applied some makeup, then I used my body spray and mist before stepping out of the room. There is no need to use my scent hiding spray because I have been discovered already, I'm going t him as myself, as a werewolf. The only change would be my redhead and that would go too if I get my hands on some dye removal formula or shampoo.
I met Harriet in our sitting room holding a hot flask and a bowl. When she handed it to me, I saw the towel in the bowl and I felt a sudden shiver within me as Alexia made a mental picture of us holding hands in a romantic way. It felt so real and I could feel some tingling all over my body. Harriet is smiling down at me, I guess she is unaware of the turmoil in having within.
Damn,
This is going to be harder than I thought. Harriet Ed the way and I followed behind her, biting my lips nervously. Why am I even nervous?
Yeah, why?
For f***s sake, I tease men for a living. This shouldn't be any different, should it?
just have to go to him, tease him and make out with him a little until he cums and releases his seed and the poison in his system. How hard can that be?
Sweet Lord, I was wrong, it is definitely going to be hard. Just thinking about it is making me wet already. How can I stand being close to him without throwing myself in his arm and begging him to screw me hard and fast. He would smell my arousal and he would know that I feel exactly the same way as he does and the worst part is that I would not be able to den my feelings because they seem so obvious that everyone can see.
When we got to a door down the hall, she stopped and handed me the hot water that she has been holding, keeping it on the basin for me as she smiled warmly at me,
“He's a good man Beth, you'll love him,” she assured me but her assurance did nothing to dispel the fears in my heart, if anything, it only worsened it. I nodded my head in response, then I pushed open the door and walked right in, coming face to face with the devil himself.
Holy, kit
This seems like Deja Vu.
He is just stepping out of the bathroom and his body is wet and dripping with water and he is standing close to the bathroom door clad in only a towel that is hanging dangerously low below his waist. This is exactly what happened last night, this is exactly how I got lost staring lustfully at his bare chest, ogling his well-chiselled abs. I envied the water that clung to his bare body, I wish I was in their position, I wish I was the one clinging to his body.
“When you finish checking me out, you can tell me what the f**k you're doing in here. Or wait, I know. You came to finish the job, you're here to kill me. Tell me, what surprises do you have for me, what do you have hidden in that basin of yours?
Is it a dagger laced with wolfsbane or a smaller gun that I would not be able to see when you pull it out on me?” he mocked sarcastically.
“No, Dominic. I'm here to apologize for shooting you last night, I didn't mean to. You startled me and forced me to pull the trigger, I wouldn't have pushed through with my plans because I couldn't do it. 'm sorry." I apologized, faking it as usual. Alexia is whispering in my head, telling me that it isn't a fake apology, that I meant it and I'm really sorry for hurting our mate. That's not true, I mean, it can't be true, right?
Dominic is looking at me suspiciously, eyeing me from head to toe, stretching his neck to try and see what I'm hiding in the basin.
“You... You, Bethany Delaney came here to apologize to me?” he scoffed, chuckling sarcastically as he walked closer to me. I could see the purplish vein-like lines on his arm where I have shot him. I could also see the blisters on his fists and I realize that Harriet was telling the truth. Now I feel really bad for turning this grown-ass man into a grumpy big baby. I stood on the same spot as he walked towards me, he came to stand in front of me, looking into my eyes. It felt like he was searching my soul for answers to the questions plaguing him.
“What's the catch, my love, why are you really here?” he asked teasingly, moving to stand behind me as he pulled his hands on my body, caressing me softly.
Oh, No...
This doesn't feel right. Dominic is not caressing me, I think he is searching my body for any hidden weapons.
This guy is never going to trust me, is he?
