Chapter Four
I woke up to find myself face to face with the most gorgeous man i’d ever seen. He had the most brilliant blue eyes, his hair was sandy brown and neatly styled. He had long nose and pretty strong jaw and his lips turning down in a frown were full. He was tall and all muscles bunched up beneath his white shirt. This strange man exuded power and had such a foreign aura around him even in my battered state I couldn't help but drool over him. He turned to the other man from before snapping angrily. “Isaac why did you bring her down here like she was some rogue prisoner?Isaac cowered. I would have too if I wasn't so busy thinking how beautiful his voice sounded. “i’m sorry Alpha it was my mistake.”His name is Alpha? How odd.Alpha turned those piercing blue eyes on me and my heart did a little pitter-patter. I had only dated once, his name was Boyd and though we’d never gone far, the few make out sessions we had was enough to make me recognise the stirrings of desire and while Boyd had to actually touch me to get a response this man Alpha only needs to look at me and i would feel myself getting wet down there.Get it together Kyra I chided myself, there's no way you want this stranger good looking as he may be to actually act on the purpose you’re here for in the first place. I have no intention of becoming his sex slave.He spoke to me for the first time. “my name is Tristan O'Connor what’s yours?”I blinked, Alpha wasn't his name? Was it some kind of weird titles people go around making up nowadays?“Kyra.” I cleared the lump in my throat and said again, “Kyra Sinclair.” His gaze lingered a little too long on my chest where the swell of my breasts were quite visible from the low cut of the neckline of my blouse. They were quite a sight to behold if I may say so myself, every other parts of my body were average looking except for my big boobs.After Tristan was done ogling my boobs his gaze travelled downwards then back up again. “turn around slowly so I can get a good look at you.”I did, feeling like a prized mare at an auction. “what happened to you?” he asked noticing my bruises for the first time.“I fell.” I lied. It won't make much of a difference if I told him Gary did it anyway.“so he brought you here to feed me a sob story, and after warming my bed you can then elevate your status to the lady of this mansion.”“for your information my step father brought me here against my will and I have no intention of becoming your sex slave.” I snapped. How dare he think I was in cohorts with that slimeball?Tristan sniffed the air slightly and smiled wickedly while staring at me. “oh but I bet you do.” He said as if he knew something I didn't. “I bet you want me buried deep inside of you, fucking you raw until you can barely walk or think and the only word out of that pretty little mouth of yours will be my name.”I gasped at his straightforwardness and crass words, my core unintentionally clenching hard as I stepped back. He had no way of knowing how turned on I was for him right now so I squared my shoulders, tilting my head back in defiance. “I’d like to see you try, i’m not so easily broken.” I challenged. Swallowing hard, my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach when I saw the look in his eyes that suggested he was either going to make good on that challenge or strangle me to death.“I can have you eating out the Palm of my hand in no time.” I shivered at the promise. Tristan closed the distance between us and I panicked. He froze with a frown on his handsome face.“how old are you?” “seventeen.”“do not lie to me.” “what will I gain by lying?” He studied me for a moment and after he seemed to be sure I wasn't lying he cussed out loud. “sweet mother goddess! I’m going to tear that bastard to shreds!”Well it seemed Gary hadn’t been lying about the tearing to shreds bit.“Isaac send her back and make sure to hunt down that bastard and bring him to me.” Tristan said turning in his heels.What just happened? Did I hear right, he just said I could go? Tristan was gone before I could process what he just said.“let's go.” Isaac ushered me out but I was still in a daze. I couldn't believe I was free to go wherever I want, that Gary's plans hadn’t succeeded. I gazed up at the mansion longingly and then an idea struck me.Chapter Thirty ThreeI guess he really did take this whole ‘avoid Kyra at all cost.’ Thing seriously huh? It’s been two weeks since my birthday and Tristan was nowhere to be seen. I understand I’ve become somewhat like a plague to him but this is getting really ridiculous, for an alpha who recently just turned thirty he’s more childish than I am.‘’where is he?’’ I demanded, standing before Isaac with my arms folded.‘’he’s busy.’’‘’I’m not an idiot you know.’’‘’I never said you were.’’I sighed. ‘’tell him he doesn’t have to avoid me. Tell him I’m over it, that he doesn’t have to stay away from his home because of me.’’ Isaac simply stared at me then I turned and left.Alpha Tristan was frowning as his beta Isaac relayed kyra’s message which he swore were her own words. He could tell Isaac was having fun at his expense but there was no way to prove it, he simply listened and every word felt like a slap. She thinks he’s childish? He scoffed. What would an ordinary human like her k
Chapter Thirty TwoI try not to let Tristan's absence bother me too much but his rejection cut deep and I resent myself for letting me miss him. Did he find me so repulsive that he’d rather be with Rowena instead?I never know what he's thinking, or what it is he's hiding behind those brilliant blue eyes. Without meaning to I let thoughts of him dominate my mind. I wanted this job to keep myself busy so I don't look like a loser pining after a man I would never have but even that I'm failing miserably.Bryan's grandma who owned the diner was a sweet wiry woman in her sixties with a perpetual smile on her face, she didn't have a problem with Bryan hiring me in fact she was so happy to have me that she pulled me in a tight hug until I couldn't breathe. It took Bryan's grumblings for her to let me go but I didn't mind at all.Over the next few days I busied myself with my new job until I could spare no time for thoughts of Tristan which is a progress i suppose. Bryan was very down to ear
Chapter Thirty One"This is a bad idea." Cherry said later when we got to town while I was clutching the CV I'd printed up like my life depends on it- I guess in a way my life kinda depends on it seeing as I need it to get a job."Alpha Tristan is gonna have a fit when he finds out." Josh put in."Who's gonna tell him? Besides, I can't stay locked up in the estate forever I have a life you know, I gotta go to college."" Well yeah, but you don't have to work for that I mean come on it's pretty obvious the Alpha has a thing for you. Am I right Cherry?""yeah but the only part I'm not so sure of is Kyra depending on Alpha Tristan," Cherry mused. " For one, she isn't a werewolf so she's not his responsibility and two, she's not his mate."Wow that really hits close to home, it's one of the things I keep forgetting- whatever I feel for Tristan and whatever his reaction towards me is because let's face it there's no hiding his obvious attraction to me even Cherry and Josh could see it- not
Chapter Thirty" Don't keep yourself up waiting for something that's not gonna happen Kyra." "You're a total jerk you know that?"I huffed in frustration. Why can't I stop thinking about Tristan?I've lost count on how many times he wandered into my thoughts and it's only the start of the day. I couldn't sleep last night because of him and I have such awful bags under my eyes that even josh jumped back in surprise when I walked into the kitchen that afternoon.It was already noon because I deliberately slept in so I wouldn't have any awkward run-ins with Tristan. I was pathetic last night and this morning I was so mortified by how desperate I sounded that I wished I could bury my head in the sand."Man you look awful." Cherry commented. I plopped myself into the empty chair at the table."I know." I grumbled."Stop teasing her you two." Betsy chided then she turned to me and said, "You don't even look that bad Kyra. Here, have something to eat." She pushed a plate of bacon in front o
Chapter Twenty NineEven after extracting the name of the wolf who put them to it Tristan didn't pause on the whip instead it fuelled his anger more. The cracks of the whip and their screams of pain was all that could be heard but Tristan wasn't stopping anytime soon, even their desperate pleadings fell on deaf ears until Isaac interfered."I think they've had enough don't you think?" Isaac said eyeing the almost identical wounds on their backs still fresh and dripping with blood unable to heal, at least it won't for a while because the whip had been laced wolfsbane. It must hurt like a bitch, he thought with a grimace. One of them has already passed out and his body was dangling from the ropes tied all the way to the ceiling.For a fleeting second Tristan looked as if he was going to turn on his Beta who took a step back when he saw those black bottomless eyes, there was no telling what he'd do when he's gripped by Alpha rage but then Tristan shut his eyes and exhaled and his eyes sl
Chapter Twenty EightTristan came back with food as promised but Kyra was already fast asleep. She looked so peaceful and innocent-which hurt his heart- and very much human. The moon goddess must really enjoy playing sick jokes on him, out of all the shewolves…it had to be an insignificant human and her of all people, was it even a coincidence that she ended up at his doorstep?Gary just happened to be a tool- he hadn't forgotten about that bastard by the way- and after that she just kept messing with his head ever since. It's good that he made her see the real him hopefully this time she'd stay away for good, the mating bond don't mean anything to him until he accepts it and Tristan refused to accept it. On its own volition his hand was reaching out towards her and pushing back the tendrils of hair from her face. She stirred a bit but didn't open her eyes, Tristan pulled the blanket over her and left the room.Tristan let the moon ball go on without him and had Isaac oversee the enti
