•••Jason's POV•••
'Her parents are dead?'
. . . Ki's blood started boiling at the very thought of our Maria having to go through that.
And all I can think about is the pain she must have gone through. . .
I was about to run over and scoop her up in my arms and never let her go, but Aden said something funny apparently, and the tension decreased in my angel's face and everyone went back to semi-normal.
I suppose there's another way I can take her in my arms though. . .
"Well, you're always talking about how I don't know what I'm dealing with. . ."
Ehhh, maybe not such a good idea. She just took down Aden. . . And Aden can sometimes pin even me.
'We should fight her.'
Ki, I don't think —
"Let's spar," Ki's darker, rougher voice came through my mouth.
Well, so much for that.
Maria analyzed me for a second. She can no doubt see Malaki in my eyes. His glowing golden orbs are pretty hard to miss.
Why does he keep doing this?
Why do I keep letting him?!
This is twice now that he's gotten the jump on me and taken the forefront. I haven't been this out of control of him sense I was younger.
It's seen as pretty important to train alphas to control their wolf early on, for obvious reasons. No one wants an overpowered and savage wolf rampaging through a territory, or even worse, their own pack. Luckily, he hasn't completely broken out. Hasn't forced a shift.
Not yet at least.
But now, I'm terrified to shift at all. I'm worried about what he'll do if I let him out. What he'll do to a sexy little vampire, in particular.
He won't hurt her.
. . . Not too bad at least.
But. . . He wants her to submit. And the terrifying part is what he'll do to get her to.
I swear, the things he has flashing through my mind sometimes. . . She'll never forgive me for.
Ha, what the h3ll am I saying?
I took over her house.
I don't know how she'll ever forgive me.
Why am I doing this again?!
'Because of what Master Apollyon would do if we chickened out and let Maria get back into power!'
Oh. . . Right. You don't wanna piss someone off who's name literally means the destroyer.
'Plus, WE'RE the alpha d@mnit!'
Goddess Ki.
She stared for a few more seconds. She's aware that if she excepts, she'll be fighting both of us. Not just me.
'Hm, maybe she's not as naive as we thought,'
As you thought.
'She doesn't want to go against our power —'
"You're on."
D@mnit Maria.
'Grrrrrr.'
In Ki's anger, I was able to squeeze past him.
I chuckled. I have to make it seem like what I'm about to say is a joke. "You sure you wanna do that? I'm not sure I'd be able to resist pinning you and taking you on the floor here and now."
He's even more riled up than he was in my room. Now, he wants a fight, but only for the prize he gets afterwards.
"What?!" My sister and Aden exclaimed.
Excuse! We need an excuse!
"Mine!" A huge growl came with Ki's words out of my mouth.
"We're mates," Maria simultaneously threw over her shoulder.
Well, so much for that.
"And I don't think we have to worry about that," she redirected her attention back to me.
I raised an eyebrow, still with a forced smirk on my face. "I think you overestimate my self control."
She has no idea.
"I think you overestimate your ability to pin me."
***Maria's POV***
He has no idea.
But Wolfie's monster is clearly at the forefront. And he actually probably wouldn't be able to resist if his wolf decided he wanted me now.
And quite honestly, I'm not sure if I wanna put either of us in that position.
So, in summary, I've made a bit of a mistake in excepting his offer.
But I looked into both of their eyes and didn't find anything malicious. I found other intentions that were less than comforting, but nothing I can't handle.
So maybe it could be oka —
Oh h3ll no.
The boy took off his shirt.
He took off his shirt.
I'm gonna have a panic attack.
"Ah!" I shielded my eyes. "That is not necessary! Get decent again!"
I heard quiet snickers around me.
I let out a hiss their way.
Meanies.
"What? Now that we're in public you don't wanna openly stare?" He questioned. "Like in my room earlier today?" He added on with what I bet is a mischievous smirk on his d@mn gorgeous face. There was tension in his voice a few seconds ago. . . Not anymore.
Well d@mn, glad I can be your comedic relief, Wolfie!
A chorus of "oohhhs" came from our audience.
D@mn you all.
Especially, Wolfie.
"Yes exactly!" I yelled at him exasperated.
What? I'm not one for denial.
He let out a deep hardy laugh.
Oh my goddess. I think I'm going to melt and explode at the same time if he laughs like that again.
"C'mon, don't be shy." I can hear the grin in his voice. "You need your vision to fight."
Ah! He's right in front of me and his hands are on mine.
I'm about to hyperventilate.
