The girl clenched her fists until they hurt. She wanted to accept the wolf's words, but what if ... what if ... what if she was fooled again and treated like before. It was exhausting waking up thinking what would happen if they didn't need her. And even though Vladek had told her that the mark on the back of her neck would bind them together for a long time, would she be able to bear being treated as useless? Waiting with open legs whenever the wolf wanted.
Being caged again once she had flown a bit was painful.
Vladek's arm wrapped around her neck and he pulled her against him.
-Don't think too much puppy- he kissed the crown of her head- Today you just surprised me with what you did, that's why I reacted like that. You look so delicate that I thought you would be in grave danger- he stroked her back.
-I'm not delicate- Jade protested against her chest.
Vladek couldn't help smiling.
-You are right. You are not delicate, if you were,
Jade just stood there until the wolf's scent completely disappeared. She pursed her lips to keep from sobbing. She already knew that such happiness was just an illusion. And now what would she do? It wasn't like she could stay with them after what happened. She could go; it wasn't like she had a chain around her neck that made her a pet. She could survive on her own. She was young and inexperienced but not stupid. She could look for work somewhere where her intelligence could be of use. She was in a town after all. She would like to at least thank Izen for his care so far despite his rude words at first; he was not a bad wolf after all. And those crazy brothers, spending time with them had been fun. And Vladek. He had already shown her that he did not want to be with her as a couple, but no, he would not have left again just like that. She could just be acting childishly or on impulse, but if things were like this and she was just beginning what seeme
Vladek would never put a hand up to his partner. But in the last hours they had noticed that he did not seem to be the usual wolf of always. Rather, it was as if they were seeing that uncontrolled beast all hurt and hurt after losing his mate, his son at the hands of his own brother. Karia ran over and yanked the door open. -S-sister-in-law, eh sister-in-law, if you are here, respond- but he received no response. Come on, it had been only five minutes that Vladek left the room and they had gone to check. At that time sister-in-law should not have vanished. Well, yes, because after searching the whole room he did not find the girl and the only thing that remained in the environment was a slight familiar fragrance that made him pull out his fangs -Yino- he growled. *** It was cold, very cold and wet and… she couldn't move. Something hot moved up and down her neck towards her cheek and then sought her mouth where it licked
Tears ran down Jade's cheeks again, unable to believe what she was hearing. The guy who had disgraced all her life was the brother of the one who had marked her. And he had marked her when she was already marked? ... -Lie- she let out a gasp- If I had been marked I would have known The wolf's eyes narrowed and he smiled. -Uncultivated and naive puppy. Our life together began the day we met for the first time. While doing the tattoo I left traces of my blood all over your skin, that's almost as strong as if I fucked you. I bit you on the shoulder after you passed out. You're mine. Even if I fuck you now, my brother's weak mark will be just an illusion. It will hurt like hell but you will be all mine. I'm sure your body will receive me very well- He grabbed the girl's ankles tightly and spread her legs. Jade tried to kick him but the grip was so strong that her body cramped and her bones cracked. The almost open robe left part of her bod
-Vladek wasn't the only culprit.- After all she'd heard, Jade was still confused. It was a strange story but her mind was working fast despite the fear and it was logical what he had said. Vladek wasn't the only one who had done the wrong thing - the female shouldn't have slept with you if she was bonded - she didn't know from where she got the courage, but she say that. Her face was gripped tightly and the wolf's claws dug into her cheeks, breaking the skin. -Who do you think you are to talk about her like that? She was mine from the start, she just went back to where she needed to be. If my brother had not been in the middle she would have been my partner and the mother of my cubs but Vladek always took everything from me. The admiration of my father, the best appearance, the affection of the younger brothers, the acceptance of the pack. Everything, it took everything from me. For that reason, and although the female died, I enjoyed seeing the despair on his face,
The silence of the forest was absurd. Not even nocturnal animals disturbed her. Only the sound of the soft breathing of that body lying on the soft blanket of grass. Jade was quiet. Her gaze met the moonlight on it. Beautiful, big, bright and that at the same time brought back so many memories. Memories that each time faded and froze in her mind. Her raw leg, with new patterns, must hurt. She knew it but she didn't feel anything. It was as if she was dead both outside and inside. She heard footsteps in the distance. More rapid and agitated movements, she did not move or pay attention to them. She just stayed there. -Girl- a voice in her mind made her blink. It was Izen. A wolf stopped beside her panting and soon changed. Izen's face shocked at the state of her body. Especially when his gaze landed on the new wounds on Jade's leg. -Damn, what happened?- He took her by the shoulders and tried to straighten her carefully, leaning her against him.
Izen got up after laying her on the bed and covering her up. He watched until she fell asleep and went out. Vladek was leaning against the wall next to the door. His arms were tense, bent at the height of his chest. -How is she? - He sounded anguished -I don't want to interfere, but you will have to use all possible persuasion methods to convince her. She hurt. You kept her in ignorance for a long time and she feels used. She is at a breaking point and I am afraid that if she is forced a little more she will not resist it- Vladek closed her eyes and sighed deeply. -I will let her sleep and then I will talk to her- Izen nodded, concerned, but he couldn't do anything else. With a shake of his head, he nodded and walked past him. His feet felt heavy and as he turned the corner he met the two impatient brothers. -How is sister-in-law?- Karia asked running towards him. Izen heard them coming and when they stopped in front of him; the wo
Jade's body jerked slightly on the bed at this statement. Her mind was in total chaos. She did not trust anyone but both the words of that wretch who had done this to her skin and those of Vladek that were mixed and superimposed. The worst part is who should she believe? The most logical thing was that she believed Vladek, but Vladek had lied to her first. For now she would just get as much information out as possible and then think. Vladek wasn't the only one who hadn't slept. She suffered from chronic insomnia so it was practically impossible for her to have been able to sleep alone. Especially after getting used to sleeping with the wolf. -He told me that he can cancel your brand- Vladek's fingers tightened. -He wasn't lying but I don't think he can do it that easily. We already had sex and completed the link so it is almost impossible for him to erase my mark on you. It does not matter that he have bitten you before, I reinforced our bond
It was at that moment that I met you. Those words made Jade's heart pound. She remembered that day very well despite being only a child. A normal person would have been scared to see such a large and bloody beast pass so close, especially if they are a child, but with her it was different. She had felt something warm inside her chest when she looked at the animal and just came out of where she was. There was a connection. She was sure of it. Perhaps for that reason it was that fate had brought them together years later. -That day was something strange for me, especially after you rescued me and took care of me without even worrying that I could do something to you- Vladek's fingers went back to caressing the girl's hair- The madness that had blinded me is went fading away and thanks to that I was able to return to the pack sane; although I only did it to take Izen with me. Wolves weren't very nice to him. I have to admit that over the years I forgot e
