Chapter 5：Claiming what’s mine.

His warm breath brushed against my skin, making my heart beat even faster. I could feel the temperature of my body rise as he gently brushed his finger against my cheek.

I felt like I was frozen, a tingling sensation running through my body. I didn’t know what I was feeling, but it wasn’t like anything I had felt before.

As I tried to compose myself, Deimon’s face began to draw near. His lips dangerously close to mine. I wanted to protest, but I couldn’t bring myself to do so at the same time.

“I believe this is my drink, waitress.” he said, his deep husky voice captivated me.

“Woah, what the f*ck do you think you’re doing? That’s my drink” Chris’ angry voice suddenly filled the entire room, distracting both Deimon and me.

The music of the party shut off and everyone stopped dancing, their focus fixated on the three of us.

“Just because you’re the Alpha of this pack doesn’t mean you can walk in here and do whatever the f*ck you want,” Chris protested angrily, gaining the attention of everyone in the bar.

“F*ck off! I don’t have time to deal with you,” Deimon growled, letting go of me and allowing me to stand on my feet. His brows were furrowed as anger coursed through his veins.

I ran away from Deimon, standing behind Chris near the crowd of people as the Alpha and Beta locked eyes with each other.

“Oh yeah? Why don’t you man up and fight me? At least then, we can see if you’re truly deserving of your Alpha title,” Chris taunted, making Deimon clench his jaw.

He took a step further towards Chris, and without any warning, delivered a solid punch to his face.

Chris’ nose began to bleed as he fell, grabbing my arm for support. My heart raced as I gazed upon the blood dripping on his face. I tried to help him stand up, my arm hurting from the tight grip he had over it.

As I looked over towards Deimon, I noticed he furrowed his brows with a fire ignited in his eyes as he clenched his fists extremely tight. He pushed the people out of the way before approaching Chris and grabbed him by his collar.

He repeatedly delivered punches to his face, making him bleed profusely. No matter how hard Chris tried to fight back, he was no match for Deimon's strength.

I flinched every time Deimon delivered a hard blow to his face. My body shivered in fear.

Deimon’s POV:

I was at the brink of losing my mind. It didn't matter to me how disfigured his face was getting. He dared to touch my mate, and now he was going to pay for it.

As soon as I was satisfied with his bloody appearance, I dropped him to the ground. He lay still, but I knew he was still alive as he groaned in pain.

The entire crowd was in awe, witnessing the condition I had put him in.

Lifting my gaze from Chris to Kate, whose legs were shaking, I gritted my teeth, still recalling the way that b*stard touched her.

I couldn't see anything else apart from that. The entire world was blocked out from me, and I could only feel my and my wolf’s anger. I walked over Chris’s body, grabbing a hold of Kate’s wrist.

“Deimon.P-Please let me go,” she cried out, struggling to release herself from my hold, but I didn't care.

I dragged her away from the common area and threw her inside the VIP room where there was no one but the two of us.

She held onto herself, lowering her head in front of me. I placed both my hands on either side of her, sandwiching her between me and the wall behind her.

As our eyes locked, I couldn’t help but inhale her sweet scent, making my wolf go wild.

Her eyes were glistening under the light, brows furrowed in fear.

I could feel heat rising through my body as my wolf got excited in close proximity towards his mate. I tried to fight the urge, but it was way too strong for me to handle. She drove me crazy, and I couldn't give a damn anymore. I needed what was mine, and she belonged to me.

I slid my hand from the side of her neck before slamming my lips against hers.

 I wanted to sink my teeth into her and fuck her like a wild animal.

Deimon’s POV:

I pressed my lips against hers, my body feeling a rush of heat.

My wolf was excited, his desires being satisfied the more I kissed her.

I did not want to let her go, wrapping my hands behind her back tightly and pulling her even more closer.

She was gasping for breath but that didn’t matter to me. I need her to be near me and my lips.

Slowly, as the kiss intensified, I trailed my kiss down her neck as my member got rock hard, threatening to burst out of my pants.  I could sense my horny wolf in heat, wanting to go down on our mate.

Kate squirmed under my grip, her struggle moaning filling up the room. She tried to flatten her lips, to prevent me from kissing them any further.

As my hands reached her breasts, I gripped her uniform, wanting to rip it out of her body so I could get access to her body.

Before I could strip her, abruptly, she placed her hands on my chest, slowly pushing me away from her.

I didn’t stop her, my eyes examining her as she lowered her head, her body shivering while her hands were still pushing my chest away.

At that moment, I stopped myself before I went any further. I suddenly felt distant from her, the desire of wanting to f*ck her was lost instantly.

“Are you.. afraid of me?” I asked, my deep voice filling the entire room.

Kate opened her tightly shut eyes, slowly taking her hands away from my chest as she increased the distance between us by taking a step back.

Her body was shaking profusely in fear as she began to take deep breaths.

“No…” she meekly replied, her eyes averting my sight.

I could see the fear she had for me in her orbs, making me grit my teeth.

“Fix yourself and get lost from here.” I suddenly said coldly, taking my hands off the wall and taking a step back away from her.

I realized that she was nothing more than just a stranger to me. There was no reason for me to let her walk away with my scent all over her.

But at the same time, she was my mate. I couldn’t trust her to be at the party anymore. My fists clenched just thinking about the guys, having their gaze and touch over her.

Kate had her hand over her chest, covering up the neckline that sagged down because of my pull on it earlier. Her brows furrowed with a puzzled expression plastered on her face, after hearing my order.

Not wasting even a second, her gaze turned to me instantly.

“What? No, I won’t-”  she tried to speak up but I cut her off instantly.

“I’m not asking you.. I’m ordering you. You better leave the bar within the next five minutes or else..” I raised my voice, cornering her against the wall. I did not want to hear another protest from her lips. My anger increased the more she stuck around at the bar.

She flinched, seeing my anger on full display but she managed to muster some courage to face me, in an attempt to put her point across.

“I-I’m sorry but I can’t do that. The party is huge and I can’t risk losing out on the extra tips that I could get from the extra crowd. She explained, still averting her gaze from me.

I groaned in frustration as I walked away from her and ran my fingers through my hair before turning around to face her once again.

“Fine. If money is all that you’re concerned about, you don’t have to worry about that. Get back to your dorm, and you can have this.” I explained with a stern voice, pulling a large wad of cash from my pocket and waving it in front of her face.

Her orbs popped out of their sockets, seeing the large bundle in front of her. I knew at that point that I had her attention instantly.

“This amount could cover double if not triple of whatever you could earn tonight. Just take it and get the f*ck out of here.” I said, waiting for her to accept and obey my instructions.

Kate examined the money in my hand as dead silence lingered between the two of us.

Slowly, after much thought, she decided to finally respond, “I-I’m sorry, it’s a generous offer but I’m not some charity. I can’t accept your money.”

“I don’t care what you think of it. Just f*cking take it.” I flung the money at her face, my patience reaching its limit because of her hesitance towards me.

I couldn’t believe she had the audacity to say no to my face. She acted more afraid and hesitant towards me than she did with that b*stard, Chris.

Looking at the money spread all over the ground, Kate bent her knees, picking up each dollar bill from the floor.

“Enough of this. Let’s go!” I yelled hastily, a sudden urge of frustration surged over me, prompting me to immediately grab her wrist and pull her out of the VIP room.

Though she tried to free herself from my grip, I stopped her by tightening my grip even more. I didn’t look behind to check on her, continuing to walk further.
