I end up pacing back and forth right outside Ivan’s quarter waiting for the moment he steps out to pretend as though we had just casually bumped into each other.The moment he steps out I know his next course of action will be to interrogate the rogue for sure and knowing how thorough he is he’s going to rely on his mind games to source every bit of information from him as possibleI wait for more than thirty minutes, almost giving up before his door finally pulls open and he steps out in a new shirt probably after having a bath and washing off that dried blood stuck to his skin.I move immediately making sure to bump right into him on purpose.I stumble back dramatically knowing he’d not waste a second to catch me.“Lili?”“Oh, Ivan, I didn’t see you there.” I act all flustered and shocked to see him and he falls for it easily, helping me up until my feet are balanced again.“You okay?”“Yes, thank you.” I say offering a small smile.He nods his head looking at me all over just to be
I wait and watch the life slowly leave his body, pulling out the needle the second his face grows pale and cold before tucking back from where I had pulled it from.I didn’t want to do this, this was never supposed to be an option for me but he had forced my hand risking everything I had worked all my life for, putting Jonah in danger as well.Regardless of reason you killed a helpless man.He was going to get himself killed anyway.I drop his body backing away from him, a bit of this still feeling unreal. I can already hear footsteps rushing to where we are before Ivan and the pack doctor and Nick emerge.Nick’s eyes and mine only briefly graze at the other before I look way knowing what he knows.Even with that I still feel his eyes on me, which doesn’t help this situation.“Do something before he passes out. He’s our only source of information right now.” Ivan says running to my side.He holds me while I look away from the scene still acting out as a helpless damsel and while my pu
Kain’s POVI finally get back to the room at the end of the day after countless meetings and sorting out the issue with the dead rogue that was still alive and ended up dead again.Each more stressful ha nth later, before I pull the doors and walk in.Her small form crouched over the bed and turned away from me greets me first.I already know what her mood might be from the solemn air and the fact that she isn’t sleeping from the rise and fall of her chest.Ivan had reported she was there in the last moments of his demise. As much as it had angered me he had even bothered taking her there in the first place.I move close to the bed instinctively dropping right by her side and she almost instantly puts more distance between us the second I do.I guess her reaction is from our argument earlier on.The confession part hadn’t been what I had initially planned but none of it as a lie. I do want to possess her in a way words cannot describe but it’s not love nor lust either.Nor is it a sim
The insides of a typical room in the men’s quarters is much bigger than I had ever imagined it would be. Spacious and well furnished.Not as big as mine or any of the concubines are but big enough to fit in as much property as they would need.My eyes move over the brick red paintings of the wall and countless weapons and gym equipment lying around in the most unlikely places, and then the potent smell of sweaty man wafting in the air.I take it he doesn’t have much women coming around him and not just because of his personality.He jumps onto the bed with that disgusting smirk.“Go on, make yourself comfortable.” He adds, tapping on the spot right beside him.I force a smile, dropping on the nearest chair next to me and nowhere on the spot that he’s suggesting I sit on.“Okay, you got me here, cut to it and tell me what you want from me.” I begin, cutting to the chase.“Relax, why the rush?”“Why the rush?”Of course, he has the nerve to say that when he’s doing the blackmailing.“Y
Nick cowers in his presence, trembling visibly before dropping on his knees without another word so as not to anger his alpha even more.Once he’s down Kain looks away from him like he’s some insignificant insect turning to me and stepping closer.His eyes remain fixated on my body and he begins assessing every bit of me without saying anything else while I just stand there.“I’m fine.” I whisper to him in a bid of getting him to calm down a bit.I just wanted Nick getting caught; I didn’t expect him to be this pissed.“It was just misunderstanding.” I try to explain to deescalate the situation“You smell like him.” He says ignoring everything else I’ve said, instead getting even more furious. “His scent is all over you.”His eyes turn a brighter shade of anger that I’ve never witness frightening even myself.He does this for a while until he finally pauses at a bruise on my left shoulder possible formed in a moment of struggle. And then the rip on my shirt around the collar draws his
I really am locked in this room.I had thought it was a joke or a simple statement made in the spur of the moment, maybe once I’m tossed in the order would be rescinded and then I’d be able to step out again, but no.I really am stuck in here, with guards outside my door making sure I don’t step out until Kain gives his order.How the hell did it even come up to all this.It’s supposed to be all done by now, the fear of being figured out, of hiding in the shadows.Nick’s already fully taken all blame by now meaning I’m home free, everything should be over, I shouldn’t be feeling this way.Distraught and uneasy pacing back and forth in my own room unable to sit in one position long enough without feeling unrest.Again Kain’s expression flashes through my mind the look of pure unfiltered anger. Even before we had gotten closer he hadn’t even stared at me that way.There was an aloofness to his rage but that was something different. Intense disappointed rage and hurt as well.Why had it
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS GORY SCENESKain’s POVI land a final sturdy blow right into his gut as a way to vent my uncontrollable rage.He chokes on the air that barely reaches his collapsed lungs from the impact coughing up another puddle of blood to add to the other ones he’s made since he’s even dragged herMinutes of torturing this bastard and yet none of that rage is quell, the surface isn’t even scratched.All I can remember when I close my eyes is the sight of this lowly mongrel touching what is mine.His scent all over her and a hint of his own arousal.It sets me off into more rage that lulls me to a brink of madness.All I feel is anger and amongst that blinding rage is something else, small and uncomfortable between it all directed towards Lilith.Why had she put herself in danger as always?All this time spent showing her that she could ask anything of me and I would give it, all this time of proving my reliability and yet she goes and puts herself in such a situation
ilith’s POVA gentle touch grazing through my hair slowly pulls my consciousness back into my body.I hadn’t even realized when I fell asleep.All that worrying and pacing must have tired me out leaving my consciousness to be easily claimed by sleep.Now the hands playing in my hair caressing the ends of my strands soothingly calls me back into the real world.I automatically think Kain.His touch has always been gentle and calm, sweet and addictive, the feel of his skin like a drug I never really knew I needed but can’t live without any more.I lean more into his touch snuggling against his hand.“Kain…” I mumble softly feeling the smile that forms on my own lips.But the more I gain consciousness the more something about it feels off.That addictive feeling isn’t there, the warmth feels different, and the scent itself is foreign to me.This isn’t Kain.My entire body knows it on instinct and rejects it the moment it knows it.My body immediately goes rigid and on defense. My eyes fl
