~Tristan~
“You need to really think past apples princess, go for something you’ll hate yourself for.” My eyes hovered around her like a hawk, taking in all of her movements. “What about driving a knife through my heart while we fucked together.” I smirked harder watching as her mouth curved in an O shape. Pretty much a lot of things I could do to her 18 year old young and tight body. “I mean what could go wrong with our body wrapped together, our sweats mixing together while I drive you to a point where you could hardly return back to your normal self and pushing a knife would then be so dependent on if you could be strong willed and focused.” I winked at her. I kept on going, knowing there’s a limit to which she could handle. She stood frozen and taken aback, definitely the words were too raw for her to handle. Her eyes looked at me and damn there’s something about the way she looked at me with anger in her eyes… I don’t know how to explain it. It shows just too much expression and emotion on her face that it becomes hard to stare away from pretty little Jessica, or should I stick to calling her Jess and see if it’ll fuel her take on revenge even more ? ‘Tristan what the hell are you doing? You can’t say such words to her.’ Sebastian blurted out through the mindlink we always left open between us. ‘And why can’t I say such words to her? Seeing her a lot uncomfortable has to be the best thing, don’t you agree?’ I waved him off, offering Jessica my attention as she was fuming with so much unease. I liked the silence, watching how unexpectedly she was caught in my web, her mind definitely in as much chaos as I could get. She was seeing the exact images I wanted her to see. ‘You are making her a lot uncomfortable.’ I could hear his judgey voice through the mindlink, his face trying to distract me from staring her down. ‘Drop it! We can continue our conversations later on and thanks for the report.’ I quickly averted my eyes to him, wading him off as he was going to be so disturbing and hell bent on making me let her go. Exactly what he has been doing here all morning after bringing me the exact report where I found out the remaining things I needed to know about my mate who wants revenge. She’s still intact and was faithfully and happily waiting for her mate. My mind has been doing a lot of runs as all I could see was her tight and young p*ssy. “Your facial expressions tells me that you see the same picture that I see?” I muttered, knowing nothing more than this could vex her more. Just like when I forced my lips on her, she looks like she made a visit to hell but how she still looks cute doing that should be a whole mystery that needed to be unraveled. “Never, no I don't see it and I’ll never see it.” She spitted out in a hurry, her eyes moving together in a thin line, her palms sweaty. “I’ve been very lenient princess, but you should know that I have very little patience and I advise that you respect me.” “I’m sorry but I don’t respect monsters.” She was very daring, could very much hang on to pain and face the devil right in the eyes. One hand on her and she’ll break into pieces. Trying to put up a front when her innocence was screaming out loud on her very soft features. Her pretty face, nice plump lips, defined waist and curvy hips that I’ve been trying to ignore, flash once more in my head. It isn’t anything I haven’t seen or had access to, just that this one was ten years younger. A lot emotional and bent on having her revenge on me. Sebastian was damn right about wanting me to let her be. But it’s a whole different issue when she’s my fucking Mate! Having said much about it, allowing her to act how she wants, making fun of the situation, ignoring the fact that she’s the daughter of a nemesis pack I promised to wipe out. “Be careful princess, if you don’t want to see just how much of a monster that I am.” My voice came out hoarse, deep and passing out the exact threat it should as she went all quiet, facing me directly like she knew she should be scared but just had to act strong because of what she wants. What exactly should I tell her? That I did her a favour by allowing her to live and bringing her here. Her uncle committed a big crime going against me, doing exactly what nobody dared to do to me. He even had the guts to lie to me straight to my face. She should be grateful I let her live and should blame her uncle for bringing all those things I did on their pack. It was all his fault and if she doesn’t know it then I’ll let her live whatever lie she knows and chooses to believe. Her presence is troubling enough as her wolf scent keeps on disturbing me, the strong need to be close to her suffocating me. It took everything from me to just kiss her and not show her exactly what she calls me .. a monster. That was definitely what it was.. the sweaty palms, looking extra uncomfortable, her eyes moving around like she was in a little heat. She’s young, very clueless, totally overwhelmed by my wolf scent. Not everyone can resist a mate bond and definitely not an Alpha blood like mine. I want to see her struggle and fight the mate bond. Let’s see who will give in first. Ten years waiting and accepting the fact that I definitely do not have a mate and I could do as I want with anyone I wanted. But the moon goddess thought it funny to bring me a complete novice and one that hates me with all she is. Yeah… very funny but every bit interesting to watch I guess.~Jessica~ His words were too clear, putting a clear and vivid image in my head. No way I was staying any longer with his scent filling the room. The idea of choking on his scent was possible and how that wasn’t too scary but a part of me secretly wanted it. “No! It can’t happen” I found the last strength I had in me and walked out on him before he could say anything more that was provoking. Stupid slimy Alpha! Acting like he knows me? He best he joking..I stood right in front of the room I came out from this morning and I’d rather stay among other maids than be anywhere closer to him even if it’s more comfortable. I found my way down to the general maids room, this time around, ready to meet people in there as some should be done with their morning chores, I mean it was the same back at my pack. The reminder hit me like a spiral wave,I shouldn’t have been here. Should never have to serve as a maid and not just any maid but a maid to him. Not my first
~Tristan~I could hear her heart beat, could feel her relax into my arms when I carried her this time around back to the room where I wanted her. Was way prepared for this already. And I’m making peace with the fact that the stubbornness comes with the age. I didn’t want to call Sebastian this time around to carry her up here. He could do it yesterday without waking her up, I’m sure I can do it without getting too drunk on her scent. I sat there, taking her in. I needed to define whatever this is. What do I really want to do with her? What if I give in first to the mate bond thing? Is she a risk I am ready to take? I watched the way her body relaxed, her chest rose softly as she made rough sounds that somehow made her sound so cute and pretty. “Shit Tristan! We are supposed to be sticking to be the monster that she had made us to be.” I cursed on low breaths, refusing to look away from her face. Just in how many hours I’ve gotten information I’m sure she d
~Jessica~ “I’m allowed to go outside?” I asked, trying not to act as glad as I am to see this was really true and Tristan wasn’t lying about me following his beta to get clothes. “He didn’t tell you I was supposed to take you to get new clothes?” His beta finally talked, after coming to knock at the door, waiting for me to step out and walking behind me till we finally got outside his mansion, he finally did talk. “He did, I just assumed he was bluffing.” I simply put it, as the thoughts I was having when he told me this exact news came swarming in again. What if I escaped? I don’t know my way around but I’m sure anywhere away from him would be better than here. It went back to being very quiet as he led me till we got out of the house and straight to the car parked in front of us. I was trying my best not to take notes of the beautiful scenery. The tall trees, nice air and an environment completely different from its alpha. And I sure hated to talk with
~Jessica~ “Are you going to make her keep on smiling so hard or we’ll pick out the clothes that we came here for?” I hate to ever be involved in whatever this was between them and trust that this girl should be very grateful I did that. Even though I could see her frown so evidently as Sebastian turned to face me with a small smile which I returned back so eagerly. This plan have to work, I have to get out of here no matter what. I want my revenge but another day or more days drunk in his scent would be chaotic I just knew it. I was ignoring my chance of being closer to exert my revenge but being closer could be the freaking damn of me too. I didn’t like the fact that I saw that monster in my dream, that was a big warning sign. “So where should we start from?” He covered up the small space between us as he asked using his hand to point to everywhere else but kept his face on me. Okay that’s new.. I thought he didn’t like to face me and didn’t like talking
~Tristan~ “I don’t want eyes on her, just take her anywhere low-key and get her something nice to wear.” I met him standing outside my door, waiting with a pile of papers in his hands. Of course he had something to say. He did try saying it when I made him carry her here the other day and he should know better than to want to try to talk me out of it again. “Don’t stress yourself, just save it. She’s my mate, I want to keep her close.” Simple and straightforward was always better with Sebastian. “So that means you want to respect the mate bond and keep her?” His voice was leveled, as we walked inside my room. To anybody else that would be a calm Sebastian talking but not to me. I practically grew up with him, a brother who’s younger by a year. “I didn’t say that but I’m keeping her that I know for now.” “What do you have for me this morning, any issue arising from the west?” That was the only place that could only give us paper work for a while
~Jessica~ We came back after about an hour. I didn’t say anything and he also thankfully didn’t say anything. I knew I was right about being careful with the quiet ones. How did he know? Did I act too much? Did he see it in my eyes? I had a whole load of questions to ask but I kept quiet all through the ride, refusing to continue picking out clothes he all too knew I wasn’t interested in anyways. “Do you need anything to drink or eat? You haven’t eaten all day.” He spoke with his back to me immediately we entered the house. So he did know I was fake acting it. I let out a low growl, ashamed and annoyed at the same time “What did you mean by me being his mate?” I couldn’t hold it back anymore and also asked. If he as well knew I was acting all along and knew exactly what I was up to then I need answers to what he said earlier. “What about it?” He turned to face me, stopping halfway as he was about to climb the stairs leading to Tristan’s wing. I’m def
~Tristan~ Her words cut deeper this time, they didn’t ever mean anything to me before now. What was I even thinking of losing myself in the sounds of her heartbeat? I knew when they got back, I just got lost for a minute upstairs. My wolf was enjoying the little show going on downstairs and we kept frozen to where we stood as I could tell they were bickering. I never imagined a conversation with her and Sebastian so early but given her stubbornness I already zeroed my mind that anything was possible with her. We enjoyed the way she was riled up and I could picture in my head the exact picture of every curve I got this morning. Her full lips, curvy damn body, I was taking it all in, refusing myself from an hard on because my fucking mate despite her plea for revenge was still so fucking young. Sebastian crawled up in my head, putting pictures of her to the side for a bit as he asked me to come control my little thing. It sounded pleasant to my hearing,
~Jessica~ I could feel then staring, every movement of his maids calculated as they were faking not to know anything that happened yesterday. I didn’t even want to be reminded about it, as my skin itches and my face feels hot anytime I think about it. His words, breath on me, the closeness, oh no I really just want to wash that away from my memory. “I hope you don’t plan on using apples again?” The voice rang out through the room and of course I knew it wasn’t the voice I was hoping to avoid today. I kept mute, watching with the side of my eyes as the remaining maids in the kitchen made their way out of the space one by one until it was just me and Sebastian. “I also saw that you took the best decision of sleeping where he wants you to and not in the maids room.” He echoed once more, talking more than I usually thought he could and still not grabbing on to the fact that I was snubbing him. Of course I thought twice before thinking of ditching the room
~Jessica~ Very funny, very very funny. Ha ha you think I like you? Why? just because I felt the pain you were feeling? Get your act together Tristan. ‘That was convincing enough right? Myra don’t freaking go quiet now!’ I so wanted to blow out my brains right now. ‘Maybe’ she answered without any interest, her voice was low and sounded uninvolved. Shit! Shit! I should have atleast said something more convincing right? I didn’t like the way he was looking at me, making me almost choke as I couldn’t stop laughing at every sentence I was making. This was crazy! Entirely crazy. ‘Why the hell would he come up with a question like that, do I look like I like him or something?’ I asked, rubbing the nape of my neck And maybe I shouldn’t have asked my wolf any questions She was obviously not pleased with my answer and is not pleased with me. And I don’t want to add that to my worries, because why would she betray me this way and want our loved ones kil
~Tristan~ My eyes patiently followed the way her chest was moving. A sign that she was still very much alive and stable. I couldn’t wait any other second and let myself in to take a look at her. After hearing all Sebastian said, I knew my wolf wasn’t going to be able to calm down without seeing her. There were lots of questions on my mind right now but it can wait. Wait till I am so sure that she’s calm and sleeping without issues. “I’ll fucking kill Sebastian for delaying something as important as this.” I whispered under my breath, confirming for the third time that she was fast asleep now and wouldn’t blink so uncomfortable again. When I came in you could see signs of struggles, her eyes half asleep. Making little troubled cute sounds as she slept. I was going crazy right? Because the sounds were signs to show that she couldn’t sleep comfortably but what did I do ? Still found it h*ll cute because apparently everything about her calls to me in a diffe
~Tristan~ “What do you mean there was another attack?” My anger doubled up as he gave me a not good news. His eyes are careful and anywhere else but on me. Like he was giving me space on purpose. “Got a call from Zach.” “And you picked it in front of Jessica?” I immediately asked as I heard the name Zach. His eyes moved up with purpose, and this time around he looked at me in the face. “And of course Evie? How could you take such important calls in front of them.” I asked, bringing to his memory just in case he forgot that we were not to take such calls in front of others. Okay… we both knew they couldn’t do anything with the information we have. Maybe I didn’t want her to hear all of it and still strongly see me as a monster. It’s something I was working on changing, hoping she could see me in a different light. He smiled awkwardly, looking at me with a nod before speaking up. “They couldn’t hear anything boss and besides it had to be important for
~Jessica~ His words rang out loud and hell I haven’t seen such a disappointed look on anyone’s face before. It went completely silent, everyone’s eyes taking a peek at me and I don’t even understand what’s going on. It didn't register at all until he finally did smile a little and stood up at once to go upstairs. “Did he just say apple?” I asked myself, lost in whatever was going on right now. My eyes turned back to follow his movements but he was already gone and out of sight. I still wasn’t getting it, what did he mean by apple again? I stood up like I was wired to, I needed him to explain what he meant. I didn’t like the look he had on his face. “Don’t bother. I don’t think you should go after him if you just did the apple thing with him again.” Sebastian spoke up, stopping me from moving any further. What the hell is going on? Why do they keep saying that and having a long look on their face while at it … like I killed someone. “Can you exp
~Jessica~ “Do you want to go upstairs first?” Gianna brought me out of my thoughts, tapping me lightly as she looked at me with a small smile. The fact that I might know why that smoke was there made it all worse. “No, I'm okay. I’ll just eat dinner and then go up.” I’m not running away, whatever Sebastian said wasn’t my business in any way. She nodded her head, and walked away with that smile still plastered on her face. Like she was blushing on my behalf. The thoughts I know I can’t wash away from her memory snd she’ll definitely be thinking things about my red lips and Tristan. They would be done any minute from now and I can’t seem to get a hold of myself. I shouldn’t have listened to him say rubbish to me. “Jessica what’s wrong with you!” I hit my messed up head with one of my hsbds. His words rechoing snd Myra recharging the words ‘no harm in opening up.’ “Pfft.. like I was ever closed up. He’s clearly just not my type.” I cursed under my
~Tristan~ I finally found the missing link. I didn’t want any of my men taking this thing seriously then because I didn’t want anyone to panic. Sorry… the word should get too furious that they’ll want to dig out the person without checking twice. I’ve been quietly marking out all the suspects with the names Sebastian gave me that wanted the last lead dead immediately. I had to cross check smartness, strength, reasons and every other thing required to pull this off. The hell no one checked all the boxes at once. What was I really expecting? Not like I didn’t see this coming “You found our man?” His eyes shined brightly, ready for any information I had for him. “Yes, a small list of two people who would likely only benefit from this. “ “So it’s who’s likely to sit as the next alpha king if the present one somehow doesn’t wake up?” He asked, saying what took me literally all day to accept in one sentence. That just had to be it, because there was no other aro
~Sebastian~ I don’t hate my job one bit. I’m right in the middle of two aggressive wolves that could either love each other or hurt each other real bad. I don’t know when I started to care that much but I fucking did. I was too conscious of her movements, enjoyed her harsh talking and I earnestly waited for one when I couldn’t get it because I was busy. Well it wasn’t anything new that I didn’t know of. My wolf probably surely accepted Jess as a female wolf to protect. It was a normal duty to do since she was my alpha’s mate and so I didn’t even think about it twice. Damn I hadn’t played so much, laughed like I hadn’t had any worries when we were in very much a lot of them right now. She was young and I used to think that would make her alienate herself even more after the monster claim issue. But you can hardly recognize that if you are engaged in a conversation with her. Like she was blending and definitely getting a lot comfortable. Something she
~Jessica~ “Why did you call me out?” I asked, standing outside my door, looking at him with tired eyes. “Let’s go down. You’ve practically locked yourself for a long time.” He uttered , grabbing my hands immediately. I don’t move, taking my hand back with force. Nah ah.. I’m not doing this with anyone. Trying to force myself to sleep because I can’t get this whole disturbing thing out of my head. Everyone with each of their issues and guess what? It’s stuck like glue that won’t come off. “So what? I can’t decide to stay away from you people? You think I enjoy it here and have a lot of fun smiling and eating with you guys, don’t you?” I asked, changing the topic all over. I can’t even remember what he said again just now , I was all about what was going on, turning the issue the opposite way as I was silently airing everything I’ve been doing wrong. They are all totally wrong if I did enjoy them.. and thinking now about it, I probably did. “You think yo
~Jessica~ “How did it become so red?” She asked for like the fifth time after I tried to ignore her questions. Her eyes were looking at me confused and waiting on me for answers I wasn’t going to give her. If only Sebastian didnt run off so I could tell him not to bother, that I probably bit myself. Wait, why don’t I tell her that? “I accidentally bit myself.” I uttered in a rush, finally giving her an answer, while she insisted that she put the ice on me herself. “Hmm, are you sure? It doesn’t look like it.” She asked unawares what her questions were to me. Constantly bringing my mind to where I didn’t want them at all. “That it’s Gianna, I mistakenly bit myself while talking.” I said this time around with so much conviction so she could drop the topic. Her eyes looked a bit confused, like she was taking a minute to study it more, her hands trying to run through them but I shrugged them off. I don’t want anyone else touching my lips again. “
