Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 90

"W-what?" I ask my body beginning to shake more than it was before.

"Did you think drowning you in cold water was a torture strategy?" Jalex raises his eyebrows as he leans down in front of me. I push myself as far back as I could, keeping as much distance between us as possible. "Oh no, no. I'm just trying to keep your temperature down so you don't die on me. A shewolf's heat can be lethal, fatal even."

My jaw clenches as he pushes through my safe space. His nose brushing against the side of my temple as he dares to connect his lips to my skin.

"Tell me, is he scared?"

I release a breath I didn't know I was holding. "You should be the one who's scared. After all, he did kill your daddy."

"Yes, he did kill them and for that he will suffer an unbearable death."

"Them?" Confusion laced my tone. Who's them? Ajax only killed the man who violated him and his father who allowed such horrible events to take place.

A dark chuckle rises from his chest as he pushes his hands through my tangled hair causing me to flinch. His touch was soft at first but became rough quickly. He pulled on my hair tightly, bringing my face closer to his.

"If you know anything about that pathetic son of a bitch's battle plan, I will give you a death more unbearable than his." He practically roared in my face. With a violently shove he releases his hold on me, my head bouncing off of the wall behind me. I clench my jaw in anger, trying not to release any painful noises. I didn't want to give these people anymore satisfaction I'm done crying like a weak child.

"You're all, fools." I sigh and rest my aching head on my knees.

"Shut up, bitch." Cynthia sneers. I don't bother to look up as a set of foot steps begin to descend the stairs.

My eyes close tiredly and my mind immediately pictures my mate. Once I feared him so greatly that I risked my life to get away from him and now I want nothing more than for him to come get me. To rescue me.

I shouldn't need him to rescue me. I am better than this. Although these silver chains don't leave me with much of a choice.

"Alpha, the warriors are lining up now as we speak and will be ready for battle in thirty minutes. There has been a wolf detected a few yards outside of the territory lines, what would you like to do." Ted's voice is taught and strict, almost scaring me. That man is too uptight for his own good.
