Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

REMI POV

“Run faster, little wolf.”

His voice came from everywhere. The trees. The darkness. Insid my own head.

I was naked, bleeding from a dozen scratches, and completely lost in the forest.

“Parrot, now would be a great time to help,” I said between gasps.

Oh NOW you want my help? After ignoring me for the past ten minutes?

I suggest you think of something fast because our mate is hunting us and he doesn’t look friendly.

I could hear him behind me. Not footsteps. Something heavier. Branches breaking. The sound of claws on bark.

“He wasn’t this bad when I kissed him awake before.”

That was different. He was about to jump off a cliff, not actively tying to eat you.

“So helpful. Thank you.”

I ducked under a low branch and my foot caught on a root. I went down hard, palms scraping against dirt and rocks.

“Fuck.”

You know what might work? Parrot said. Strip.

“I’m already half naked.”

Exactly. Present yourself. Wolves respond to submission.

“I am not presenting myself to a feral alpha in the middle of the woods.”

Why not? You like fucking him when he’s normal.

“Shut up, Parrot.”

I scrambled to my feet and kept running. My lungs burned. My legs were shaking.

Then I heard his voice again. Closer this time.

“You know, now would be a great time to shift.”

I was running.. Through a dark forest. Being hunted by my cursed mate.

“Shut up, Parrot.”

“I’m just saying. Wolf form would be helpful right about now.”

“I haven’t even made my debut. It’s not a full moon.” I stumbled ver a root, Caught myself. “I don’t know HOW to shift.”

“Better figure it out fast or we’re getting eaten by the mate you lie fucking.”

Behind me, I heard his voice.

Chapter 16

“I can smell you, little wolf.”

M

Nero. But not Nero. The cursed version. The monster,

“I can smell your fear.” His voice came from everywhere. Nowhee. “Your sweat. Your arousal.”

I ran faster.

“Are you FAKING this whole sleepwalking thing just to mess with my mind?” I shouted.

His laugh echoed through the trees. “Come out and find out.”

“Rude Nero was bad enough,” I muttered. “Cursed Nero is worse.

“At least cursed Nero wants to fuck us,” Parrot said.

“He wants to KILL us.”

“Tomato, tomahto.”

A hand closed around my ankle.

I went down hard. Face in the dirt.

Before I could scream, he flipped me over.

“Found you.”

His eyes were completely black. No silver. No green. Just void.

But he was smiling. Too wide. Wrong.

“Nero, I know you’re in there-”

He straddled my hips. Pinned my wrists above my head with on hand.

“You ran well,” he said. Voice rough. Not quite his. “But not well enough.”

I should have been terrified.

I was terrified.

But my body was responding to his weight on me. To his naked kin against mine. To his strength.

“Stop looking at me like that,” I said.

“Like what?”

“Like you want to bite me.”

His smile got darker. “I do want to bite you.”

His free hand slid down my body, Between my legs.

He groaned.

“Running made you sweaty.”

“Shut up.”

“You liked being chased.” His fingers circled and teased. “Liked knowing I’d catch you.”

He was right. 1 had.

The danger. The fear. The inevitability of it.

My body didn’t care that he was cursed. Didn’t care that he might kill me.

It wanted him

anyway.

“Try kissing him again,” Parrot suggested. “That worked last time

“He wasn’t feral last time.”

“You won’t know unless you try.”

Nero’s mouth moved to my throat. Teeth grazing my pulse.

“Nero,” I whispered..

He paused.

“Come back to me.”

“I’m right here.”

“No you’re not. The real you

wouldn’t-”

His hand between my legs pressed harder. Found that spot.

I gasped.

“Wouldn’t what?” he asked against my skin. “Wouldn’t touch your Wouldn’t make you feel good?”

“Wouldn’t hunt me like prey.”

Liar.” He bit my neck. Not hard enough to break skin. Just enough to make me whimper. “You love it when I hunt you.”

His mouth moved lower, Down my throat. My collarbone. My clest.

I should have pushed him away and run.

But I couldn’t move or think.

His teeth grazed my stomach.

Lower.

“Nero-”

He pushed my thighs apart. Settled between them.

“You smell so fucking good,” he said. Voice getting rougher, Less human.

His mouth moved up my inner thigh.

He was Teasing. Licking. Tasting my skin.

I forgot how to breathe.

“This is going to hurt,” he said.

Then he bit down.

For one second–one perfect second–it felt like pleasure,

His teeth sinking into the soft flesh of my inner thigh..

Claiming me and marking me in the most primal way.

Then the pain hit.

I screamed.

He didn’t let go. His teeth deep in my thigh with blood flowing hot..

“Nero STOP!”

He pulled back. Mouth red: Eyes still black.

He licked his lips. Tasted my blood.

Then blinked.

The black receded. Silver–green returned.

He stared at me. At the blood. At what he’d done.

“Remi?”

His voice was his again.

“You bit me,” I said. My thigh was bleeding everywhere.

The marks on my skin. The curse runes that appeared after the wedding. They were glowing.

Then they vanished.

He looked almost annoyed. “This Fucking Curse.”

“My blood,” I said. “Last time it was my kiss. Now it’s my blood.”

“Clearly you’re more useful than I gave you credit for.” He finished. “Though the methods are inconvenient.”

“What’s next?” Parrot asked. “Your pussy? Because I vote for that

I laughed.

“Parrot thinks it’s my pussy next.”

Nero stared at me for a long second. Then smiled.

“Well, I’m not opposed to testing that theory.” He traced my hip. For science.”

“Of course you do.”

Then the pain hit.

It was Deeper in my bones.

“Remi?” Nero’s smile disappeared. “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t–something’s-“My spine arched. “Fuck. FUCK”

“Your thigh.” He looked at the bite. “Fuck. Did my bite just trigger your wolf?”

“What?”

“You’re shifting.”

“I can’t shift. I’ve never shifted. I don’t know how-”

My ribs cracked.

I screamed.

“This is your first time?” His eyes went wide. “Of course it is. You e a late bloomer from the weakest pack.“”

“Make it stop,” I gasped. “Please make it stop.”

He gathered me into his arms and Held me against his chest.

– “I can’t stop it. You brought this on yourself by running.” He pressed his lips to my forehead. “Should’ve stayed at the palace.”

Something inside me was breaking.

“Zaya and Jade are going to be so pissed they missed this,” I managed to say between screams.

My dress was already torn from running. Now it ripped completely. Seams splitting as my body changed.

Nero pulled it off me fast but gentle.

“You’ll overheat if you keep it on. The shift burns.”

I was completely naked now, In his arms with my bones breaking.

I could feel him. Hard against my hip.

“Seriously?” I gasped.

“What do you expect? You’re naked and grinding against me.” He shifted his hips. “Not exactly helping the situation.”

“Kind of hard to ignore when it’s poking me.”
