“Get off me!” I screamed trying to push him off me but he was way bigger and stronger.
He pinned my hands above my head as his other hand continued squeezing my breast to the point that it was so damn painful.
I squeezed and turned, kicking for him to let me go but no matter how hard I tried, he wouldn’t budge.
Tears burned my eyes but I refused to let them fall. I wouldn’t give him that satisfaction.
His touch that had earlier ignited pleasure in me only made me feel pain.
The King growled as he buried his head in my neck, his breath hot and ragged. I felt something sharp poking my neck. And there was something else pressing against my stomach. That made me thrash even more.
I twisted, legs thrashing as I turned my head to the side, and immediately, an idea came to mind. I didn’t even think it through. With everything inside me, I came up so fast he didn’t see it coming-until I bit into his neck, hard.
He groaned, releasing my hands but what surprised me was that he didn’t groan in pain but pleasure.
“You son of a bitch, let me go!” I hissed and he bared his teeth at me pressing me back on the bed.
That made something in me burst in anger and before I could stop myself my hand landed on his face with a hard slap and for
a second his eyes flashed blue before turning back to black and then I was flying across the room.
My back hit the wall before I fell on the floor groaning in pain as my hand immediately went to my side.
I struggled to get up as pain shot up my ribs but I ignored it and slowly stood up, staggering a little.
The King’s eyes slowly turned to me and the look there was feral and angry, like he was second away from tearing me apart. “Don’t you get it?” He growled, voice cold and dangerous as he slowly got down the bed.
I instinctively took a step back in fear.
“Don’t you get it?” He repeated, voice lower as he stalked towards me. “You’re mine, you belong to me.”
“Stay back!” I warned my voice coming out stronger than expected but he didn’t stop.
“I said fucking stay back you dumb ass!” I screamed, as my heart slammed against my chest. It was a miracle it hadn’t fallen off.
“I’m warning you, you’re not going to like what I’ll do to you!”
My breathing was coming out fast as fear gripped me.
The king looked at me like I was his little prey who was just playing hide and seek.
“You’re mine!” He growled as he charged at me and my breath hitched as I braced myself waiting for the inevitable.
There was no way I could escape him even if I tried. He was strong. Too strong.
My heart slammed against my chest like a war drum as I closed my eyes waiting.
But then-
Nothing came.
I quickly peeled my eyes open and saw that the king had his back to me and he was gripping his hair so tight like he wanted to pull it out.
I watched him in fear and confusion as he shook his head aggressively.
He turned to me and I took a step back.
His eyes flashed blue again this time a little longer before turning back to black and then in the most unnatural voice that I’ve ever heard he roared;
“Out! Get out!”
I didn’t need to be told twice. I ran.
But not before grabbing the first thing I could find which luckily was my robe on the floor.
I bolted for the door and opened it with shaky hands as I rushed out.
I ran without looking back.
The King’s second in command saw me and something flashed in his eyes like he was seeing a ghost.
I didn’t wait.
I ran to the quarters, my breath coming out in pants.
I saw my life flash before my eyes and trust me.
I’ve tasted this once but not again.
I will never have anything to do with him.
Never.
*****
My beast wanted to claim her body and I knew what that meant.
Death.
Other times no matter how I fought with him to give me control it always ends in blood.
My hands soaked with the woman’s blood or a lifeless woman beneath me with hollow eyes staring at me.
But for the first time ever my beast has given me control even if it was for a while, because right now all he could see is her.
He wanted her.
I growled as I fell to my knees, my hands gripping my hair as pain tore through me from how much I was fighting him.
I tasted blood in my mouth as my teeth became beastly fangs.
The door opened and my head snapped to it thinking she was back but I was met with my Beta’s worried eyes.
“Your Majesty,” he said as he rushed to me but before he could touch me I pulled away from him. 1
“Don’t,” I growled as I turned to the window, my hands clenched tightly, my jaw heavy with restraint. “She’s not like the others right?”
“Leave!” I growled as my chest rose and fell with controlled breath.
My beast wanted me to match out of this room and devour her. I’ve never left anything unfinished.
“Your Majesty should I…”
“I said leave!” But he didn’t move.
He was used to seeing me like this. Completely out of control.
I staggered as my beast pushed me to go find her, bring her back here.
I turned to the wall and punched several times, anything to distract my mind from that woman.
There was something about her. There was something different about her and I won’t find out what it is if she dies tonight.
“Your Majesty,” Lucien’s voice brought me out of my agony.
I ignored him but then he shoved something in front of me.
Something inside me twisted and I didn’t think twice before I took it from him and brought it to my nose.
Immediately, it felt like the storm inside me became still.
Once again I was confused.
How? No, why? What is happening to me?
I looked at the pieces of clothing in my hand and took another long whiff as I closed my eyes.
Who could have thought that only the scent of a woman would be able to calm me down?
