me and I'll push right back and trust me when I say, you won't like it when I retaliate." His says his eyes are cold and voice silky smooth..
He is calm but I know it a fucking facade. He is a beast underneath all that suit. Blue up for some odd reason. l ignored her though. She is enchanted by him, but I know he's a dangerous man.. "Where are you taking me? You do realize this is considered kidnapping right?" | ask, changing the subject.. I was treading on unfamiliar dangerous waters. One wrong move and I would probably end up in a situation I couldn't get myself out this mess. "I'm Sebastian Ashford, I own this whole damn city and I can do whatever the fuck I want Red." Shit! He was right. Darren is powerful but Sebastian was king of the city. No wonder Miranda had gone after him.. She was gold digging slut. Darren hadn't been enough for her. She had wanted someone more powerful. More prominent. With more money.. Unfortunately for me, I hadn't been enough for Darren. The moment that bitch came back, he had decided that I just didn't cut it anymore.. A bitter feeling starts rising up in my chest. I push it down, not allowing it to take over. Not when I was in Sebastian's presence.The last thing I wanted was him seeing the darkness I was hiding inside..I looked outside the window.Choosing not to answer him. There was no need in trying to fight him anyway. There was no way I was getting away.. Soon we are crossing the gates of a plush estate. The driver parks the car in front of a big three story mansion. It was beautiful and impressive.. We get out of the car. Sebastian gently grabs my forearm and leads me inside the house. We walk so briskly, I have no time to admire the interior. We enter an office and he sits me on a comfortable chair before he goes behind the desk and takes his seat.. What am I doing here Mr Ashford?" I sass.. "Drop the fucking attitude "Red."He all but growls.. "In case you didn't get the memo, my name is Lauren not Red." Why am I goading him? Something in his eyes. It gone before I can read it. I honestly don't know why the hell I was pushing his buttons. The only explanation I can think of was that I was getting some kind of thrill from it.. "I will call you whatever the hell I want. Now shut the fuck up before I loss my patience." He replied, his face hard.. What the hell was up is ass? He was a complete slut absolutely rude. I hated disrespect and in my view. That was exactly what he was doing.. "Stand up. "I'm having, you are a complete jerk and I don't have to sit here and let you basically disrespect and bully me." That was the fucking problem with men like Sebastian. They thought that everyone should bow before them.. Worship them as if they were freaking gods. Like I said I was done with slut like him.. I'm about to leave when his words stop me dead in my tracks.. "I know you are going feral." He softly said, shocking the crap out of me.. I slowly turn and look at him. Really look at him. He stared at me with what might be compassion. I can't be sure though. I doubt Sebastian is capable of such emotions.. "How do you know that?" It doesn't take much to convince me. Wordlessly I sit down. He seems like he has answers and desperately want them. Even if it means swallowing my pride and listening to him bossing me around. "Well?" | ask him after a minute of since.. Like I said, I was fucking desperate.. "I know the signs. I have suffered from them before, so I can easily recognize them." He begins. "This is where my proposal comes in. It will prevent you from going feral and give us a chance to get even with those two fuckers." He finishes, anger sipping into his voice.. I'm honestly shocked. That a powerful and feared man such as him had once been in my position. I want to ask the story behind it, but that will have to wait. What he was proposing took more precedence in my mind.. I'm afraid of finding out what his proposal is, but l ask anyway. "What do you propose?" At this point, I would try anything just so I can stop me and Blue from going feral. Maybe with this proposal I can start building back my relationship with Krystal.. His eyes keep into mine as he answers; "A contract mating." Shit, I wasn't expecting that though.."That's no going to work." I tell the man in front of me authoritatively. Smith," he replied immediately.Almost arrogant.I have been in this meeting for about two hours. We weren't getting anywhere. I was beginning to get important..I stare at William, the vice-president of Majestic Ltd. It was a textile company that Claire wanted us to partner with.."He's trying to rip us off," Blue mumbled, irritated..It was something I had already figured out. There was just something about the way he looked at me. As if he saw me as someone beneath him..Someone unworthy of leading a successful company. Like, I was dumb somehow, and he saw no problem with it over pricing us..My guess is that he was the type of man raised to believe women should worship the ground they walked on..That woman couldn't lead. Women couldn't become successful on their own. That was a woman's sole purpose is to do men's bidding and raise kids.That they were to be seen heard..I hated that type of stereotype. I hat
"You will have to repeat that," ! choked.He can't be serious. Who in their right mind proposes such a thing? It's completely absurd. He has surely lost his goddamn mind..He doesn't respond to me. Just raised his perfectly shaped eyebrow. As if he were changing me to continue pretending that he hadn't heard him.."Shit!" | mumbled. I'm staring down at my heels in thought..A million thoughts race through my mind. Making it hard to keep up with each one..The last and only time I had been in a sort of making, it had been a love match. At least that's what I had thought, and it hasn't ended well for me..What he was proposing, on the other hand, was a business deal.It brought to go horribly wrong..Could I honestly enter into such a mating after I had been burned? Then, I was shoved aside once my usefulness had ended..The familiar pain that has a grip on my heart emerges. I stamp it down. Refusing to give it reign. It only serves as a reminder of how broken I am.."For a woman, you s
On the other hand, I just don't see how his offer was connected to my problem or how it would fix it.. "Going feral is about your spirit or soul being unhinged. Unbalanced. It's about there being a tear or split. To fix this, I'll mark you. This will anchor your soul to mine and make you rooted to yourself and your wolf, " he rumbled.. It does make sense. Those who go feral do so because their spirit has been split. When you bond to someone and they break you, the heartbreak and pain can become too much that your spirit tips into two. Dividing you and your wolf. Since man and wolf are one, the division causes you to lose your mind.. Heartbreak isn't the only cause for going feral. There are different reasons why a werewolf can lose their mind. In my case, I had bonded myself to Darren in every way even though he hadn't done the same.. I want to ask Sebastian how he knew all these facts, but I don't. His expression brooks no further discussion on the subject.. "Okay then, if I
"Splended, we will begin acting as a couple from tomorrow." Sebastian said, standing up.. A quick glance outside revealed it's evening. The sun was already setting down. I can't believe that we have been here for that long. I bring my eyes back to him when he moves to stand next to me. Offering me his hands.. "Wait! What's it?" I asked in doubt.. He looked at me in confusion at first, and then something clicks in his eyes. I honestly thought there would be more to discuss. Business contracts usually took some time. This was a mating contract, which is even more important. I expected it to take a bit longer.. "Did you expect something else?" He fires back. His eyebrows arched.. "Well, yeah.... Kind of off." I hated how unsure I felt when addressing him. Was I thinking too much or something? Was there really nothing else to talk about? If I was being honest with myself. I would admit that I wanted us to talk longer. I didn't want to go back to my cold rented cottage
"Well, excuse me for caring about my future son," | snapped. Before leaving.. I stomp away, banging the door behind me. He doesn't call me back. Or try to calm me down, and I don't look back.. Once, l'm outside his gates. I realized just how stupid I had been. This was a remote area, and it was unlikely for me to get a cab. I didn't have my phone, not my handbag. Come to think of it, I didn't even know where they were.. I sighed and started walking, refusing to go back and asking him for help. I was stubborn but to hell with it.. Fuck it will be a long walk. I think to myself once I realized I couldn't see any other buildings around.. I have no idea for how long I have been walking. I don't even know if I was walking in the right direction or not I was getting tired and exhausted.. I was feeling drained. When I'm tired and l'm unable to be in control of my mind, that's when the darkness starts to take over.. I had to get home quickly. For!was a potential danger to ever
Darren, I want mommy." Krystal says in a small voice.. I turned and looked at her. Wondering what to say to her. She looked sad, heartbroken. Nothing I do cheers her up anymore. She's lost interest in all the things she used to love and care about.. These last few months have been hell for her. I don't know how to help. I've taken her to the best child therapist but nothing has worked so far.. She's still withdrawn. Still depressed. Still sad. She used to have so much energy, it was impossible to keep up with her. She used to be the loveliest little girl I know. Now, it's like all her life has been drained from her.. It started a few months after Lauren disappeared. She had been having trouble sleeping so she came to my room. While I held her, waiting for her to fall asleep. She turned to me and said; "Will you take me to mommy tomorrow? I wanted to tell her I'm sorry for being so mean to her. I have been a very bad girl." I had been fucking surprised. Both from her s
I was even more shocked when she didn't hug Krystal. I know Krystal said some pretty horrible things to her but I didn't expect Lauren to react like that to her own fucking daughter..Krystal had cried her eyes out after Lauren left. Especially after Mason told her how Lauren told him stories of where she had been..Krystal had been hurt, convinced that her own mother truly hated. I will never forget the pain Krystal's eyes as she watched her mother leave. Leave her without so much as a hug or word to her.When I went to see her in her office. Her coldness almost froze me in my spot. For the first time since we met, I didn't know what to say to her..Her eyes were blazing with anger, hated and bitterness. Two emotions I couldn't associate we with her. She was never one to hate on anyone..There was something else in her eyes. Something that screamed danger. Something dark and twisted. I couldn't place it but it had no business being in her..I wanted to talk to her. Know how she was d
The next day. One of his men arrived at my cottage with my car, phone and handbag. He also didn't say much. Just dropped off my things and then went on his merry way. I haven't heard from Sebastian since that day.That was three days ago.. "What time?" l asked, sweetly, when all I wanted was strangle him.."I'll be by your cottage at seven.Make sure you are ready by then.Don't make me wait" he answered before hanging up the phone..Bastard. I think to myself. Why does he have to be so arrogant and so bossy? I'm sure his dick won't fall if he asked politely...I checked my watch and frown. I realized it's already five o'clock.That only gives me two hours to get home and get ready.."Is everything okay?" Claire asked probably seeing my frowning face.."Yeah. I just to get going. Is it okay if we postpone this day? I know we need to catch up and we will but I have to go."Claire looked at me before finally nodding. I don't give her any more details. I don't even know how to begin telli
