Chapter 9: Spoiled Dinner

Dinner came faster than I had expected, but since I didn’t wake up until two in the afternoon, I guess that’s how that happens. Callen arrived punctually and looked sexy as hell, however, his appearance wasn’t going to redeem what he took from me last night. He even brought flowers and acted like a complete gentleman. I wasn’t buying his bullshit tonight though. 

After dinner, my parents left us alone in the living room to get to know each other more and talk. I don’t know where they went, but I knew they were still around the house somewhere. I used this moment to take it upon myself to let Callen know where I stand.

“So, little one, I bet you didn’t expect this?” He cooed in my ear as he attempted to hold me to his chest walking up from behind me as I stared out the window hugging myself. 

I froze up at the feel of his touch as if his touch were burning my body, “No. Definitely not, especially since you made sure to take what you wanted without permission last night,” I growled out. I was in no mood to tolerate him. I didn’t even want to look at him.

He moved my hair from one side of my neck and shoulders to the other to give himself the perfect spot to kiss and lick to begin re-marking his scent on me. Typically a wolf’s saliva will leave their scent on whomever they are marking for at least twenty-four to forty-eight hours without actually biting the wolf, but with my harsh scrubbing and abrasive cleaners I used on myself last night, his scent was nearly gone entirely from my skin. I knew I couldn’t get rid of his scent completely due to the cum he left inside me and oozing down between my thighs last night. When a wolf mates and ejaculates inside or on their partner they leave a potent and lingering scent on their mate that is almost impossible to get off of you unless you mate with another wolf and let them cover you in their scent. Callen’s scent was mild in nature all around me due to how much slid down between my thighs when he pulled out of me. He seemed irritated that he couldn’t smell his scent mark on me anymore though. 

His touch sent goosebumps down my arms, “Funny…how I remember it…you seemed to be screaming my name with no complaints,” I felt his lips tug into a smirk that made my skin crawl.

I turned around to face him and looked him dead in the eyes, “Let’s get something straight, MATE,” I grit out as I begin, “You will NEVER touch me again like that again! You may have my body and be bonded to me, but you will NEVER have my heart, mind, or soul! You are NOT my fated mate, nor will you EVER be and I have NO desire what-so-ever to touch you ever again,” I spit out with more venom in my voice than I ever thought I could have in me. What was Callen doing to me? I felt myself harden more and more with each passing moment I spent around him. I hoped it stung him as much as it did to say out loud. I never imagined I’d be saying such hateful words to anyone - EVER! That just wasn’t the kind of person I was, and yet, here I was, being a complete bitch because I was hurting inside.

He looked somewhat surprised, yet amused before his brow furrowed, “Aww what’s wrong little one?” He leaned in to hug me apologetically, “I’m sorry if I was a little too rough for you…” He kissed my forehead before moving to kiss my neck and nibble on my ear. I was already beginning to feel dirty again. My body responded to his touch, betraying my emotions, but I was not going to forgive so easily, especially after he whispered into my ear, “You should get used to it in time.”

I pull away from him and slap him hard directly across the face staring at him with a look of disgust and pure hatred. I wanted to spit on him for good measure but figured my father would beat the ever loving shit out of me if I did something like that to someone like Alpha Callen. 

He just looked at me with fire in his eyes and a huge grin on his face, as if this was all so humorous to him. If I didn’t know he was a wolf, I would swear he was the devil himself as I imagined the horns growing from his head at that moment. 

“Celeste…you’re beautiful and will look perfect draped on my arm in front of my pack and at important events. You will also help me produce multiple beautiful heirs to ensure both our packs a strong and powerful alliance and secure future. I did hope we could get to know each other…maybe try love…but…I guess that ship has sailed.”

I was so furious, I just wanted to rip his dick off and shove it in his mouth while I beat the shit out of him. He was so infuriating. He really did just see me as a warm hole to put his cock for the night and breed with. If that’s all he saw me as, then that was all I would become and I had two and a half weeks to ‘practice’ for him. ‘Two can play this game’, I thought deviously to myself.

“I guess it has.” I glared at him pointedly. Silence deadens the room for a moment before I can’t stand the sight and smell of him any longer, “Dinner is over. You can leave. I have nothing more to say to you.”

“Oh…but I have more to say to you,” He smiles, pulling me into his embrace kissing all around my neck, before gently nipping at my mates marking area. That sent a jolt straight to my core. I tried uselessly to push away from him, “Get your hands off of me!”

“Not so fast MATE…you are MINE now…and I intend to enjoy the things that are mine, so be a good girl and behave for me. I only want to bring you pleasure…in so many ways…” He says in such a cool and calm tone as he continued his licks, nips, and kisses around my neck as he began to tighten his grip on my waist. I can’t lie, the sensations he was creating in my body from his ministrations were causing my body to come unhinged inside and it is taking every ounce of strength I have without my wolf to help me to hold back from completely unloading all my anger on him.

“I don’t want you.” I force the words out softly, closing my eyes, as his scent, a strange combination of smoke and honeysuckle, begins to cloud my senses and the soft bites keep sending pleasure jolts to my core as he nips at my marking spot more and more.

“C’mon Celeste…that’s no way to treat your mate. Besides…I know how important college is for you. At least I’m not a complete monster like you may think I am. You can attend UCLA while you tend to your luna duties for my pack.”

I couldn’t hold my tongue any longer. I spit in his face and he immediately growled and grabbed me by the throat. I kept my stare dead-on in his eyes as if saying ‘I DARE you to kill me!’ I only hoped he was dumb enough to accept the challenge radiating from my eyes to relieve me of my future prison I knew awaited me at his pack. 

He kept squeezing until I could barely breathe, “Do that again. Next time, I won’t be so nice,” He growled, beginning to relax his grip as he wiped my spit off his cheek.

I took his comment as a direct challenge, and at this point, with every passing moment, it made me hate him more and more, so I did it again and he immediately threw me over his shoulder and took me upstairs to my bedroom. He slammed the door shut before throwing me on my own bed with rage in his eyes.
