Life After the Storm novel Chapter 10

As I walk out of the bathroom, I have my towel around me, as I motion for Sam to stay in there. “Ivan what are you doing in my Room?”

“I really wish you would just do what you are told Lilly I don't like how you make everything So damn complicated.”

I am confused with his words, I really don't know what the hell he's talking about I look at him with confusion. “What are you talking about?”

With no time for me to react he grabs a hold of me and bites down what the fuck he just marked me why. As tears run down my face from the pain and frustration overcomes me I tried to react to him, but I can't then suddenly everything just goes black.

As I am waking up, I see him lying next to me, I noticed that I'm in his room I am so pissed that he marked me, why would he do that if you didn't want me? He marked me as his now I'm going to be attached to a mate that doesn’t want me. Wondering is this my punishment from letting my family die, not saving them. That I never get to feel love ever again. Now that he marked me I will have to follow his command through the bond that my Wolf will have to him, I won't be able to resist him, I know that this is why he did it. He didn't do it out of love for me, he did it out of being able to control me. I know it's my fault I would not stop defining him. Now we both have no choice but to be mates, but he doesn't wear my mark which I will not give to him, he doesn't deserve it. As a start to move his body shifts than I realize he's getting up, he looks at me.

“You know this is your fault you gave me no other choice you would not listen to me now you don't have a choice but to.”

I just looked at him with sorrow in my eyes and just say “fuck you Ivan, I'm not your pet to do as you please with.”

I say out of frustration knowing that this is what I deserve for allowing my family to die a world of pain. I want to find my inner strength, but I think it's disappearing, I thought I was coming back, but I was just imagining it. I am so lost will things ever change. Will I find my place, or will I just be lost forever?

Ivan just laughed “you will do as your told.”

“I am going to get breakfast would you like to come down with me to eat”?

I don't respond to him, I know that I am starving, I don't know the last time I have eaten, but I don't want to go with him. As I watch him walk out of the bedroom, I curl into a ball and cry. Not really sure of anything, I just feel so alone. I just want this nightmare to come to an end. I get out of his bed I want his scent off me, I turn on the shower to let it warm once it gets warm I get into the shower. Loving the water pouring over my body, the warmth relaxing my muscles. I then here the bathroom door opens not sure who it is I get nervous. Knowing that it definitely isn't Sam next thing I know the shower curtain swings open.

“What are you doing I did not give you permission to use my shower did I?”

I jump back knowing he came in, but he still scared me. “I'm sorry I didn't know that I had to ask to shower.”

“Just finish showering, we need to talk when you are finished.”

“Yes sure thing right away.”

Not really sure what he is going to want to talk about, I am a little nervous. He never really talked to me before. Lilly are you ok I can feel your sadness and I want to be there for you. I'm fine, star I'm just broken, that's all. Well, Lilly if you let me, I can try to help you I am your wolf let me in stop resisting. I'm sorry Star that I have been so mean to you, I'm just hurting so bad I just don't know how to make it stop. Lilly let me try to help you. I want to allow her to help me, but I don't deserve it. I shut off the water and grab a towel I dry myself I then put the same clothes on that I was wearing since I have no clean clothes in his room at the sure as hell was not asking for any of his.

He does not waste anytime before he starts talking “Lilly look, I've never wanted a mate. I don't have luck with them, something always happens, I can't protect them.”

I look at him with confusion, not really sure what he's talking about I thought you only get one mate. “I am not your first mate, I am a second pick.”

“Actually, you are my third After I lost a second I figured that I will just be alone, and I was fine with that now you came along and totally threw me off guard.”

“My parents arranged a marriage from a powerful pack called the Night Walker pack, the Alpha's daughter will be my Luna and wife.”
