Kristy POV
Three weeks later.
It has been three weeks since
Axel killed that man. The image of him ripping the man's heart out like it was
nothing has been stuck in my head. It makes me nauseous even thinking about it.
I don’t know what worries me more the fact he ripped his heart out or the fact
that he enjoyed every bit of it. I felt his amusement through the bond and
thought it was weird since he was trying to get information from the wolf so I
went to take a look and when I came down the basement he was skinning the hand
Axel POV “Why have you been avoiding me, Kristy? Are you afraid I will hurt you? If so please tell me. I will never do anything to hurt you, not on purpose. You have been avoiding me and ignoring me and it hurts Kristy. I am your mate. Please talk to me” I ask her a little nervous for her answer. She walked in on me killing the wolf ever since then she has been off. She has been avoiding me at all costs. I just want to know why. I did not mean to scare her and I would never hurt her. “Fine. The fact that you liked torturing that man scared me. It reminded me of my father and I can’t go through that again.” I get a lump in my throat from her words. I don't know what to tell her. There is no excuse, I did enjoy torturing him. I didn't see the problem but it clearly scared her. I did not mean for her to get scared and guilt smashes into me. When I don't
Kristy POV The next morning I wake up to my alarm and reach for the nightstand to turn it off. Only for me to knock my phone off the nightstand, a growl escapes my lips when I get up to grab my phone from the floor. "Really? This is how my day is going to start?" I mumble to myself. I turn my alarm, which is now beaming so loud my ears are hurting. I walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready when I notice that Axel is already up. Axel has sent men to scout my father's borders yesterday to see if he has any help from the hunters. We need to know what we are up against he said. I know exactly what we are up against, and there will be a lot of bloodsheds. Wich does not need to happen is he would just let me go in exchange for Hunter. This pack has suffered enough from the attacks, we lost enough people. He says women will have a say from now on but still, I have nothing to say. Not if it doesn't go his way. If they come up wit
I walk to the garage located next to the kitchen. I get the keys to Hunter's car that hang on a key rack. I walk over to the black Mercedez parked in the garage. It's way better than my grandmother's pickup truck. I appreciate that she lent me the car but a snail would have been faster. I unluck the car and get into the driver's seat before starting the car. I turn on the ac. Thank god this car has an ac I am sweating like crazy. Where is this heat coming from? It is the middle of autumn.I put the address in the car GPS that my father has sent me. When I look at the address I notice it isn't anywhere near the mountains. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I know that Axel won't be there, which makes me a little nervous. What if I am making a mistake and something does happen to me, Axel will be miles away. It is a 40-minute drive from here. I don't understand how he can be there in 40 minutes when he was supposed to be in the mountains. which is hours
Axel POV The drive to the mountains feels endless. I feel bad about my argument with Kristy, I know she meant well but I am not putting her at risk. I will do everything to protect her even if it will cost me more men to lose. I would never ask her to go back to her father in order to save Hunter and for us to be unharmed. "You really scared her. Again, dumbass." Onyx's voice flickers through my head as I sit in the passenger seat of my own car. "Her wolf won't even talk to me she shuts me out every time I try to apologize for your behavior. Great job genius. She was already afraid of us for what we did to that last guy." He cusses me out and I roll my eyes at him. He is right, maybe I went a little too far. "A LITTLE? Her tail was practically between her legs when you yelled at her in front of all our men." I forget he is in the front of my head and can pretty much read my thoughts. "Fine. I will talk to her when we get back." We are almost at the location Jack has set his
We are in the car on our way to Jack's territory to get my mate back. Hunter is in the back of the vehicle and is still unconscious. It's a long drive from the mountains to Jack's pack. In wolf form would be faster but we would be exhausted when we get there and considering we will have to fight to get my mate back who also is in heat, it might be better for us to drive. How did I not notice that? I was so busy with getting hunter back that I didn't even notice my own mate's feelings and the signs of her getting into heat. My thoughts are all over the place. I am trying to figure out the best way to get her back. She is not safe with him. Why did she have to go and sacrifice herself to get Hunter back? We would have gotten him back no matter what. Now I have to get her within Jack's territory where he will have all the advantages. I hear Hunter groaning and moving around in the back and I turn around instantly. "Hey buddy, you are safe now. We got you." I say reaching out to him. He
Kristy POV.I wake up with a massive headache. I rub my hand across my forehead as if with will ease my pain. My vision is blurred. I blink my eyes trying to get my vision sharp again. When I finally can see where I am, I realize that I am in my old room. How did I get here? I try to get up but my dizziness makes me want to lay down again. I stare at the ceiling that seems to be spinning around trying to remember what happened and how I got here. After a little while, the ceiling stops spinning, and then it hits me. I remember it all. Axel, Hunter, my father. I sit straight up and a little too quick. Before I realized I was throwing up all over my bed."Kristy are you okay?" I hear my father say from behind my bedroom door. I try to catch my breath from throwing up before I answer him. "I am fine. Just not feeling well today. What about Hunter?" "Hunter is unharmed and so is your mate and his men as promised""Okay," I reply when I feel like I am about to throw up again. My stomach
Axel POV. I wake up in the middle of the hall of Alpha Jack his home. I don't remember how I got here. I am in my human form completely naked and covered in blood and wounds. I feel that my shoulder is dislocated and try to put it back. It does not work and I look around and see the front door is smashed. That's probably how I dislocated my shoulder. I run-up to the wall next to the door to pop my shoulder back in his position and it works. I can hear wolves fighting outside when my mate's heat smell hits my nose. I forget about the fighting wolves and follow the intoxicating scent of her arousal. I walk up the stairs complete in trance. A female's scent in heat is so intoxicating. You won't be able to control yourself if you aren't mated. All I can think about is how much I want her. It's not comparable to lust or having a boner. When I smell her a beast that I didn't know existed in me comes forward. A beast that would do anything just to be inside her. I follow her scent to what
Kristy POVI wake up to something licking my face. Argh, I don't want to get up. Let me sleep. I turn my face away. My whole body feels sore. Why do I feel so sore? It almost feels like I went to boot camp or run a marathon. Then the licking continues on my stomach. Oh, my goddess that tickles! "Make it stop!" I giggle out loud trying to turn away."Kristy we have to go. Get up." I hear Axel's voice through the mind link.I instantly open my eyes. "Axel?" I say out loud in disbelief and then it all starts to come back to me. The heat the se."Yes now let's go. We don't have much time. I am taking you home." He says through the mind link interrupting my thoughts. I look up at Onyx who is standing over me and has his giant face 2 inches away from mine. Impatiently waiting for me to get up. He pushes his nose against my shoulder. "Well, you will have to get off me Onyx if you want me to get up. I can't get up with you standing over me you are in my way." I tell him while waving my ha
