Chapter 23
Bethany's POV
He's been gone for a while now, I wonder what is going on down there. He looks royally pissed before leaving this room. I have no idea what going on through his mind, but I do know that Marcus is in deep s**t.
I curled myself on the bed, feeling so stupid. What the hell is wrong with me, why did I use that stupid spray that turned me into a frightened, weak wolf. What if Dominic hadn't come in at the right time, that guy would have forced himself on me anc I wouldn't be able to defend myself. I never thought I'd feel so happy to see him, I felt so safe with him.
I must have fallen asleep at some point. I feel so hot as I'm spooned from behind into a muscular chest that heaves slowly from behind me. The room was pitch black, in an see that from the corner of my eyes, and from his scent, I recognized that I was in Dominic's arms, just that, there is that pungent, repulsive smell of blood and it's mixed with his scent, making me want to gag. My head throbs with a headache, and my body aches all over.
Alexia is once more connected to me as the spray has expired and she is helping me heal slowly. I can feel her excitement because we were in Dominic's arms, at the same time, she is nagging at me for hurting him again. She makes me feel so mean, it wasn't my fault, was it?
I tried wriggling out of his arms, but his grip on my waist is so tight and no matter how hard I try, I just can't over power him I only end up falling back into his chest. Gosh, he's so strong
“If you keep moving so much, I cannot be held responsible for my actions." He rasped, making me jump up as I turned to look at him with wide eyes. His tone is icy and so damn masculine and it sends shivers down my spine. I can't even tell if I'm excited or frightened right now. I slowly look up to see his menacing gaze on me. His eyes are trained on me, but the expression on his face is blank. The only evidence of his anger is the veins on his forehead and his jaw clenching. His chest i bare, he only had a pair of shorts on him. His hair is still a bit damp, so I'm guessing that he just had a shower not too long ago. With my wolf's sight, I could see him clearly in this dark room, and I could feel his anger.
Fine, I know I screwed up big time, but to be fair, it ain't really my fault, is it? I did everything he said, I walked around the castle with Alaina and I didn't try anything stupid. I even wore this ridiculous matching outfit with him. I did every f*++g thing he asked of me, how on earth am I supposed to know that Marcus would try something stupid with me, I only wanted to help my friend, what's wrong with that?
Speaking of my friends, I never got to find out how they are doing. The doctor had been here to check on me but I never thought of asking him about Graciela and Alaina, I don't know what Marcus had used on them and I don't know if they made it out alive. Only Markus can tell us what he used on them, I need to ask him, I need to talk to him.
“Where is Marcus, I need to...
Before I could finish my question, I got tackled to the bed, pinned under a pissed off Alpha king.
“The first thing you utter after waking up is another man’s name? You're testing my patience, aren't you?" He wraps his hand around my neck, but not too tight, just enough to get my attention. I held on to his hand as I tried to pry them off me, but I could as well be trying to move a mountain because he didn't budge.
“I...I...I wasn't asking about him, I just wanted to ask about the substance he used on Alaina and Graciela” I stammered out, struggling to get the words out. He released his hold from my neck, looking down at me as if he could discover the truth fror looking at my face.
“The girls are fine. Doctor Fred got the poison out of their system.” He muttered softly, moving away from me. I got up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom. Gosh, the tiled floor looked stained with blood and there was blood all over the wall tiles. I followed the trail of blood to the tub and in there I saw a bloodied heap of clothes and the blood from the clothes were so much that it flowed down the tub drain.
“Ahhhhh..”" I yelled in fright when I realized that the clothes belonged to Dominic. What has he done this time, who has he killed?
I heard his fast footsteps as he ran towards the bathroom to check if everything was okay with me. I couldn't stand close to him, I couldn't look into his eyes, I couldn't let him come close to me. I could just imagine his whole body dripping with blood, someone's blood. It could be Marcus, I wouldn't care if it turns out to be him, but what if it's one of my friends, would I be able to look at him again?
He pushed the door open, and with just one look at me, he knew what was wrong. I looked at him in a daze, I was seeing hin butt felt like no one was there. He took one at me, startling me back to reality. I kept moving back until my back hit the wal “Stay away from me, don't come any closer, you murderer” I spat out in disgust.
“Really, Are you that surprised?
You know what I'm capable of, this shouldn't surprise you anymore. Actually, you should have expected more, I could have brought the severed body to our room. How I love looking at a brutally severed body, the sight is so captivating” He said with a satisfying smile plastered on his face. I want to gag, I can't stand him, I can't bear his arrogance. The stench of blood, the whole bathroom filled with blood, his arrogance, it’s all overwhelming. I did not realize that I was passing out until I felt. strong arm supporting my back, breaking my fall. As if all this wasn't enough, he burst into hysterical laughter, adding insult to injury.
He's so mean and evil!
I would have walked out on him if he wasn't supporting my back with his arms. His arms around me were so warm, 50 soft and comforting. I looked up at his face as he kept laughing at me. He is so f*****g handsome. He spots a cute dimple when he is laughing, it makes him even more handsome, like a carefree teenager. It makes it so easy to love him, he is every girl's dream man, so perfect, so muscular, and fit. I've got to be missing something here, it just doesn't add up. I mean, How could someone so cute be so evil, how could he be a murderer?
“Were you going to pass out on me?
Stop acting so dramatic Beth, I was only messing with you. Gosh, you crack me up, Bethany.” He said jokingly, swooping me into his arms, taking me back to the room and placing me down gently on the bed.
“You shouldn't have seen that, I was hoping to take you out of here as soon as you woke up. I was so distracted by your questions that I forgot to stop you from going into the bathroom.
Why do you always see the worst in me, Bethany, why can't you look past my mistakes? Am I such a terrible monster?” he asked me calmly, a sad smile playing on his face as he cupped my cheeks in his palm, caressing me softly.
“Why don't you ask the person whose blood you had on your body," I retort, making him chuckle and scoff sadly as he keeps looking deep into my eyes.
“Would you like to hang out with me in the movie room? The omegas would be coming to clean up this place, would you prefer hanging out with everyone in the gaming room, or would you like to hang out with me in the movie room, I promise I won't bite,” he teased mockingly, earning him a glare from me.
Hanging out with my friends or hanging out with this stunningly handsome guy, that makes my pants go wet by just looking at him. I'm scared of what will happen if we are all alone in a room for hours, watching a movie with no one to interrupt us o stop him if he decides to have his way with me. He could simply take what he wants, and I won't be able to do much since I'm so attracted to him and would give in so easily. I'm literally under his mercy, just thinking about it is making me squirm i excitement and I feel the heat between my legs. Damn, what the hell is wrong with me?
He sniffs the air around me before growling as his eyes flashed a hint of gold before turning back to their normal colours. Hi face takes on a feral look and he grinds his teeth in anger,
“I can smell your arousal, dear mate. You know what, I'm going to make that decision for you. You're coming with me” he whispers hoarsely, his voice laced with lustful desires.
“Arent you going to ask me if I want to watch a movie with you?” I asked him with a raised eyebrows. He snorted and smirkec “Corky bastard!” I thought within me.
“You don’t have a choice, dear mate,” Now come on,” he urged with a smile, dragging me to the walking closet to pick a new set of clothes seeing as our clothes has some blood stains on them. He dragged me off to the other room to shower and dress up for our movie night. I really don't think it's a good idea to be alone with him, but I can't bear to upset him any further today, I've pushed him past his limit as it is. I wouldn't want the next blood on his clothes to be mine.
I felt my cheeks heat up as he put his arm around my waist, leading me to the other room. There is no way I'm sharing the bathroom with him, he can never keep his hands to himself. As we walked into the room, I placed my clothes on the bed, an before he could realize what I was planning, I darted into the bathroom, closing the door and locking it behind me, giggling at my little tricks.
“You know I can pick the lock, right?” he called out from the bedroom, sounding amused.
“Yeah, I know you can, but you won't." I responded with a smirk. I heard him grumble and chuckled. I had a quick shower, washing off the stench of blood from my body. He wasn't in the room when I got in, I guess he went to get something from the other room or something like that. That's perfect, because, I want to be fully dressed before he can get any funny ideas. put on my matching red bra and thong. Then I got my body lotion to moisturize my skin. I was bent over, trying to apply lotion on my legs, then the door pushed open and there he stood, ogling my barely clad body.
“If you stay bent over like that, I'm going to f**k you right where you stand,” he rasped.
“Can't you knock?” I yelled, trying to cover myself.
“I don't need to, I live here, remember?” he smirked, before turning to head to the bathroom. I hurried to get dressed before he could come out. I wore a crop top and sweatpants so I could be comfy while watching the movie. The bathroom door swing open and he came out with a towel hanging on his hips. As he walked closer to me, he pulled the towel from around his waist, throwing it on the floor. I could not hold back the gasp that escaped my lips as I stared straight at his d**k. My mouth seems dry as I swallowed the lump in my throat.
He kept walking towards me, and I tried so hard to control myself from running over and wrapping my legs around his waist, lining his d**k to my entrance and bouncing oh his d**k.
“Mmmm, damn” I whimpered softly, rolling my tongue around my lips. God, I want him, I want him so bad. I can feel the liquid pool in my panties. He knows I want him, he is torturing me, forcing me to accept the bond. That is pure evil.
“You see something you like?” he asked teasingly when he got close to me.
“It can be all yours, that is, if you want it of course. Tell me, dear mate, do you want it?" he mocked with a smirk.
“You wish!
Well, if you must know, I've seen better” I responded with a fake smile that immediately wiped off the smirk from his face. H had a deep frown on his face, grinding his teeth as he turned to the bed to pick up his basketball shorts.
“Mmmm. Damn, that chest is f*****g sexy. I couldn't peel my eyes away, even if I tried."
“Are you done checking me out?” he asks as he catches me ogling his body again. God, I need help, I'm certainly not okay. I had no words to deny it this time, I could only blush and look away from him.
“What?
No smart words to deny it this time?” he smirks.
“Let's just leave okay. Nobody wants to check your ugly ass out, so why don't you put off your cockiness take me out of here before I change my mind.”
“You wouldn't dare” He scowls, holding me by the hand as he pulls me away, taking me to the movie room.
“Choose a movie, I'm gonna grab us some snacks from the kitchen."
“You could use your mind link, you know."
“I could, but I want to make sure nobody comes up here, it gonna be only you and I baby,” he responded with a mischievous smile that told me that he has other plans for me. I should be scared, I should be wary of him, but why am I looking forward to it. He has succeeded in making me fall hopelessly in love with him. I was searching for a movie that I'm sure he would hat to watch. My eyes landed on the proposal starring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, and Mary Steenburgen.
perfect,
He is so gonna hate this!
