Chapter 4: The threat

His eyes switched immediately and he looked scary. The green eyes that I found beautiful some moments ago turned even scarier.

"You will submit to me, Kahlan!" He repeated in a deep accentuated voice. He looked very angry. It actually looked like he was going to kill me.

"Never!" I responded quickly.

He groaned and pulled aside a little, giving me space.

I proceeded to hit him in the manhood but he pulled back, then twirled me around quickly. When I looked up again, I'm suddenly confined to the bed. His hands were holding mine against the bed like a chain as he hovered above me. He was so fast that I could barely see him move.

I've heard a lot about the Lycans. They were very fast and strong. They were like the doubled qualities of usual wolves. I guess that was why some group of Werewolves came together and made them the Alpha.

The bed, the stairs, the vibration. I had another fight within me. My body wanted this man so much, like the air I breathe but my head won't stop reminding me of my family's death.

But, was I supposed to mate with the man that killed my family? I have no pack again because of him. Was I supposed to ignore that?

"Do you hear me?" He yelled in my face. He seemed to have been talking but I missed the words he had said and I was not ready to ask him to repeat them. "You will be my Luna and bear my heir."

"Maybe in my dream," I spat out, with hatred. Though, my heart was saying a different language. How can I hate and want someone at the same time? I'm sure it's the mate bond and I have to get rid of it immediately. " I will reject you, Eric," I said with vigor.

If I can reject him, I can be free of the shackles of the mate bond. That aside, I could safely think of a way to get my revenge.

"You wouldn't dare, Kahlan," he suddenly let go of my hands. "Because you will die the moment you reject me. I will kill you with my bare hand." He barked with a serious tone. 

I'm his mate. I'm the one that can bear him an heir. He can't kill me.

" You are bluffing! You wouldn't kill me! I'm the only one that can give you an heir. You wouldn't want to jeopardize that."

A sly smile curled on his lips. He looked strikingly handsome like that. His green eyes were sparkling.

" Who told you that? I will find a she-wolf and get mated to her. She will bear me an heir. Besides, I have nothing to lose," he stated.

I felt a stab of annoyance and I clenched my teeth against him. He would probably kill me the moment I reject him and I wouldn't be able to avenge my parents' death.

"You seem so sure of yourself. I will advise you to get yourself a she-wolf then because I don't care!" I hinted.

He regarded me for a moment and I found myself growing small under his scrutiny. 

Then, he came too close again, only stopping inches away. "You will come back to me. You will beg me, Kahlan. You will beg for a taste of my cock. You will want me and you will give me an heir," he muttered thickly.

A blush appeared on my face. I hit myself mentally.

"That will never happen, Eric. You can keep deceiving yourself."

"Time will tell," he indicated and stepped aside from me.

The door opened and some men rushed inside.

"Place her in an empty dungeon," Eric ordered. "Less food but enough water," he looked back at me. "Until she asks of me."

"In your dream!" I snarled.

The men pulled me down from the bed. I didn't resist, but my gaze was on Eric. He was also staring at me and giving me such a cold look. Maybe he thought he could have whatever he wanted at any time. Well, that won't include me.

We walked out of the big bedroom. I was pulled violently towards the slave building. 

My gaze searched around me as we walked. Just before I could look away from my left, I saw some guards leading my stepsister towards me.

Wait a moment! Sonia was alive? Could Sam be alive as well?

"This was your fault!" Sonia accused the moment she was close enough.

I smirked. "Are you kidding me? My fault? Whose fault was it that I left home? If you hadn't poisoned my mother, would I have left home?" I declared.

" Very funny!" She shrieked. " As if you would have been able to defeat Eric. You killed my brother! It was because of you that my father did not prepare for the attack," she explained.

I lurched forward quickly but the guards pulled me back. "You must be insane! This is all because of you! You killed my mother! You killed my father."

We both lurched forward to attack each other but the men pulled us back.

I was eventually forced forward but it crossed my mind suddenly where Sonia was being led to.

It looked as though she was going to where I was coming from. Could she be going to Eric? Well, maybe she was the she-wolf that Eric would like to get mated to.

The image of my mother's carcass filled my thoughts again and I couldn't stop the tears now. I can't believe she's gone like that. What should I say about my pack? The whole pack? The Crest pack has been erased from the earth. Sonia and I are the only survivors. How could this happen to us?

I didn't even know when I got to the dungeon as I was lost in my thoughts. My heart felt so heavy. 

I'm just twenty-four. Am I supposed to start my life like this? Am I supposed to accept this fate?

Am I supposed to accept the man that killed my pack as my mate?
