Chapter 7

Chapter 7

"Damn it!" I hissed as I tried to remove the chains on my ankles. That heartless son of a bitch really tied me up in his bedroom, leaving me with no choice but to sleep next to him or hurt my back by lying on the floor.

I sighed as I gave up. Auror felt so tired inside me, and if it wasn't for my pride, I would've laid on Calgary's comfortable bed by now, but instead, I sat on the floor and rested my head against the wall. How long would he keep me here? He's been sleeping soundly for a couple days while I had no choice but to sleep while sitting on the floor. If this was his way of teaching me a lesson, I'd rather go back to Alpha Lawrence and let him hurt me all day long.

Familiar steps began to echo outside the room. I watched the door swing open, and when Calgary saw me looking at him, he flashed his annoying smirk before he shut the door.

I quenched my eyes at him as he walked towards the rod where my chain was linked. He then wore his leather gloves and removed the silver chain, then gently pulled it. "Yep, yep," he teased, making me grit my teeth in anger.

"I'm not a fucking horse, your highness."

His smirk turned into a grin. "And it's Alpha, pup, not your highness. Now get up before I drag you out by your foot."

Rolling my eyes at his smug face, I stood up and followed him outside. He took me to the dining area of his house where a meal for me was already prepared. I must say I'm still lucky that he was serving me good food despite me being stubborn.

I waited for him to turn his back on me before I reached for the fork to stab him, but Calgary was so fast that he was able to hold me down and pin my body on the table with his hand on my neck, holding me in a controlled manner.

His brow shot up. "Not so fast, huh? Can't believe you're still trying to get away from me."

My teeth gritted in anger. "One day, my Alpha will surely find out that you're holding me captive here--"

"Then what, hmm? He'll come to rescue you?" He smirked as if he's annoying me even more. "Why don't we tell him now and you watch me kill him before your eyes, hmm? Haven't you heard enough tales about me, pup?"

Oh, I pretty much did. I heard he was the reason why the entire Nirvana District was in conflict. His attitude and desire to be called the strongest Alpha in the District broke the good relationship between the four packs in our District. It was his fault that Zenios had to face the hunters on our own. It was his fault that our land didn't have unity anymore.

"I heard a lot... and I am not impressed." I returned an annoying smirk at him. "In fact, I'm fucking disgusted."

He sneered. "What a really fucking mouth you got there, hmm? I wonder how long it's gonna take you to grow your tongue back once I cut it?"

His threat gave me chills, because I knew he was capable of doing it, but I tried my best not to show him any hint of fear in my body as I stared back into his evergreen eyes.

"Why? The truth hurts you a lot, huh?"

"Oh, not at all." He licked his lower lip then sniffed me. "Not when it's coming from a scaredy cat who obviously wants to hide behind her former Alpha."

"My only Alpha," I corrected, but Calgary gave me another insulting smirk.

"You mean the missing Alpha?"

I blinked. "W--What did you say?"

His smirk formed into a grin. "Oh, you haven't heard? He ran off like a fucking coward in the middle of a fight, leaving his own pack to death. Tsk tsk. So much for having mercy and compassion for his people, huh?"

No. He's lying, right? Luhence would never abandon us. He would never turn his back on Zenios.

I pursed my lips together as I tried to keep our eye contact. "Luhence is not a coward. He will never leave our pack."

"Well... news flash, baby." He grinned. "Mayhem Pack just took in the last of your people. No one is coming to save you, so you better start behaving or--"

"You're lying! He will never do that to us!"

"Don't you raise your voice at me, pup," he warned.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "You're just feeding me lies because you're a fucking pussy--"

"Be careful who you're calling pussy. I might show you the real beast in me once you push me farther." He let go of me and tied the chain on another hook. "You're not gonna get off this chain until you learn how to bow to me."

My fists clenched. "A real leader will never force his people to submit to him. He lets his action and leadership attract their loyalty."

"Sorry, pup, but those lame sayings don't apply in Claivan."

"Why, hmm? Afraid that if you wouldn't be tough, nobody would stay with you?" I smirked. "I bet that's the reason--"

"You better keep those lips shut." He scanned me from head to toe before the corners of his lips curved upward for a provoking grin. "You wouldn't like my idea of shutting you up..."

Chills traveled down my spine after I heard his words. I wasn't born yesterday. I pretty much know how to read between the lines, but I doubt he'd really do it.

I folded my arms in front of my chest as I annoyed him more. "Look who's getting pissed? The so-called big bad wo--"

My eyes widened and my heart almost jumped out of my chest when he clutched my hair before he drew our faces closer until his minty breath was already filtering inside my mouth.

"Such a stubborn puppy..." he uttered, and the next thing I knew, Calgary was already kissing my lips in a ruthless way I wasn't supposed to enjoy... but I still did. I hate that my defenses fell easily as I tasted his lips, and I hate that my wolf begged me to kiss him back with the same intensity.

I gasped for air when he stopped. My mind was in a total haze as I looked back into his golden rims, wondering why his kisses felt different to the kisses I shared with Luhence. Auror had never reacted this way before, and the more Calgary was staying close to me, the less control I had over my wolf.

As if Calgary felt my struggle to tame Auror, he clenched his jaw and turned his back on me. "Eat your food," he demanded in a raspy way, as if he, too, was having a hard time controlling his own wolf.

My knees turned rubbery as I watched him leave, and when I was finally alone, I grabbed the chair to sit while I calmed myself down.

This isn't good. He can't possibly be my real mate.

I drew in a sharp breath as I shut my eyes.

I have to leave this place as soon as possible or else I might not be able to save myself from my own heat anymore...
