10.3: ...MR. STONE!!!

WARNING: This chapter contains a scene of assault!

Dina’s POV

Was Josh trying to mark me?!

Over my dead body!

I breathed in deeply, preparing to scream at the top of my lungs. But he efficiently cut me off by slamming his lips on mine. I gasped, but it came out as a muffled moan; almost encouraging him to continue. Now panic really sat in. I tried to turn my face away and push him off, by kicking my legs.

“JOSH, STOP IT!” I yelled between wet slipping kisses, while I kicked and screamed. Mentally, I cursed the sexist idiot who gave male werewolves their unbudgeable bodies. Because try as I might, I was trapped underneath him; not even my unusual strength could get him off. As if something had possessed him, Josh quickly grabbed both of my wrists with one hand and held them down. He continued to kiss my skin, nibbling the spot, where my mate would mark me, while his other hand moved lower, roughly squeezing my breast.

“I said STOP!” I screamed. Now tears started to form at the corner of my eyes.

Shit!

He was going to---!

“Come on,” he continued anyway. “I know you want to…”

“NO!” I screeched and trashed underneath him, doing everything in my power to get him off. “STOP---!”

I was happy to notice, that he did have to put up a fight to keep me down and I thanked the gods for my stronger-than-average wolf. But he had the advantage, and just pushed more of his body weight down on me, making it harder and harder for me to breathe.

My heart raced.

Fuck…

“JOSH! STOP IT! LET ME GO!”

Suddenly, a thunderous roar shook the house. And a strange peace filled my body and soul.

Alpha Stone…

Less than a second later and Josh was pulled off my body and flung across the room as if he was nothing more than a ragdoll. A wave of relief rushed through my body as a tall, dark presence hovered over me. I looked up and to my relief, I was met with the alpha’s dark, livid eyes. They were black pools of dark rage and I knew I was in for a scolding of a lifetime. But honestly, I was so happy to see him, I had to resist the urge to fling myself at him and clutch him like a lifeline…

My body was shaking. My vision was blurry and my heart was beating a million miles an hour. I couldn't breathe and it felt as if I was about to suffocate. Luckily, I knew what was happening to me, thanks to my brother having beaten the living shit out of me before...

My body is reacting naturally, to an unnatural situation, I reminded myself and repeated the mantra over and over again. And quicker than most people I came back from the panic attack that was surging through my system. I took a couple of deep breaths, before quickly pushing myself off the bed. Suddenly, just wanted to get away from it - as if it was contagious or something. But I stood too soon, too fast, because the instant I did, the world started to spin and I was about to fall. Immediately a set of strong hands gripped my elbow and steadied me.

“You alright?” Alpha Stone murmured lowly, holding me close to his warm body. I nodded and regained my balance. Not until he was sure I could stand on my own did he let off me. His touch sent a warm current up my arm and was left with a cold and dead feeling when he wasn’t touching me anymore. My wolf whined, longing for his touch again…

A noise by the door pulled us back into the real world, but the only thing we saw, was Josh’s remains rushing out of there. Alpha Stone growled loudly, and I saw his eyes fog over – he was mind-linking someone. And judging by the power radiating off him, he was furious…

“It seems like you’re forgetting my rules,” he growled low, his eyes still fixated on the door.

“What?” I asked confused, my heart still pounding in my chest. And just as it had calmed down, it started to race again, once I met his black orbs.

“I clearly remember telling you, that this is MY private home,” he sneered down at me, directing his anger at me. “I don’t remember giving you permission to take boys here.” Without thinking, I took a step back from the black mountain of rage; my heart ready to jump out of my chest.

“It-it was for a school project,” I quickly defended myself. “Clearly Josh wanted to work on something else.”

“Clearly,” he echoed, his voice dripping with annoyance and pure rage. He was breathing hard and I could see his hands flex, and his knuckles turned white.

He was pissed!

“I-I’m sorry, Alpha,” I quickly muttered, fixing my eyes on my feet, as if they were the most interesting thing in the world. My cheeks were burning up and I was glad I had to submit to him, so he didn’t see the shame and embarrassment I felt. Strangely also the only thing I felt. Why wasn’t I afraid of him? He could kill me with his pinky, yet there wasn’t a shred of fear in my blood. Sure, I was shaken by what had almost happened, but it seemed as if having Alpha Stone here kept the fear at bay. Somehow, I just knew he wasn’t going to hurt me.

He protected me...

Suddenly the atmosphere shifted, and a low, deep chuckle filled the room.

“I should punish you for this, shouldn’t I?”

And with that, I forgot all embarrassment and shame and looked up. His dark eyes were back to their normal, dark blue color, but with a new playfulness sparkling in the corner. His lips were tilted slightly tilted into ‘that grin’, changing his entire ‘I’m going to murder you’-demeanor to a rather – if possible – even more disturbing ‘I’m gonna have fun with you’-posture…

I gulped and took another step back.

I was so screwed!
