Chapter 11

(Eli)

The ice queen. That was what Landon called me behind closed doors. He would mock me for being frigid, for refusing sex, and most of all, for refusing to be touched by him when there were no audience anymore.

Landon was too much of an asshole to understand that what he did was traumatizing, that something inside me had shut down upon seeing him cheat on me. For the longest time, I couldn’t get aroused until the curse forced me to. Outside of it, nothing worked anymore. My body was not the way it used to and deep inside, I was okay with that than falling into lust while Landon watched.

Until this alpha walked in and suddenly, my body had become a live wire. I thought that part of me was broken, and he proved me wrong. With him, I started feeling things.

Dangerous and immoral things. .

After what happened at the beach, the heat that I’d never felt before was too strong that I had to relieve myself. But my own fingers could only do so much. That’s why I was desperate for a release, for the toys that I only use during the curse. And Creed just had to meddle with that.

With his agreement with Landon, they were expecting me to surrender everything. And as much as I despised my husband, I was still tied to him. I refused to be like him. Besides, how would I know that Creed was not playing with my emotions like my husband did? He even bought me as if I was a mere toy. For all I know, he could be worse.

“What if I don’t want that? Are you going to force that weapon of destruction on me?”

“Weapon of what?”

I simply glanced down at his pants despite my face flaming hot.

To my surprise, Creed let out a laugh that made his eyes appear a bit softer. His laughter sounded pleasant to the ears. And it strangely made me feel good about myself, like I’d just accomplished something major in my life which should not be the case given the absurd situation we were in.

“Weapon or not, like I said last night, it’ll fit, Vicious.”

“So, you will force me.”

I pushed my plate away, the food suddenly tasted bitter in my mouth.

“Do I have to? Whether you admit it or not, I know you can also feel this pull between us, Elianna. If the need strikes, you can go to your room unsatisfied, or you can come to me. The choice is yours.”

That was unexpected.

I thought that just like Landon, Creed would also threaten me or would use my being human to make me fear him and then submit to him. But then again, all men would play nice at the beginning. They were good at that. They would be in their best behavior to lure their target. Just like what my stepdad did to my mom. Just like what Landon did to me.

I hated how confident Creed looked as if he was so sure that I would eventually come to him, as if he was only biding his time like any hungry predator. And when his poor prey fell into the trap, it would be too late. By the time the prey realized her mistake, she had already been eaten.

Creed’s eyes revealed dark and sensual promises. And God, I knew he would deliver exactly that. I shivered at how my body responded at the thought of it.

“That will never happen,” I said, hoping I sounded as confident as he was,

Creed just smiled and slightly lifted his glass to my direction before finishing the rest of it. Again, he was giving me that same look I saw at the gala. The kind that said he didn’t believe any of the words I said.

“Why did you do it, Mr. Black?” I asked instead. “Why did you buy me? Why me of all people? I’m not like any woman.” “Right. If you are like any woman, then I wouldn’t have had to spend billions to have you.”

“Then why?”

Creed placed his elbows on the table and leaned closer to me, staring at me as if he was considering whether to trust me with the truth or not.

“Unfortunately for both of us, we are mates, Vicious et ventually confessed, making my lips part. His gaze lingered on my mouth before meeting my eyes. And then Successfully unlocked! aining himself. “My wolf knew it the second I scented you at the gala. Our kind call it the scent on them. Tou wouldnt understand, not yet, but I know you could feel it too.”

Chapter 11

“I don’t,” I said in a brittle voice as I held onto the table. “This is ridiculous. Maybe your wolf got it wrong. How could a human even be a shifter’s mate?”

“I’ve had the same question for the past hours. The Moon Goddess knows how much shifters despise the humans. And yet, here I am, still impossibly drawn to you despite who you are. You can deny it all you want, little liar, but I know you have the same reaction as well. Your body responds to me the way it has never done to anyone else before.”

My heart raced.

I tried to look away as I clenched my thighs together, but Creed didn’t allow me. He cupped my chin. Pure, dark satisfaction was visible in his eyes upon seeing how my face flush.

“Nothing is going to change, Mr. Black. I am married.”

“That can be arranged. If you want out of the marriage, say the word, Vicious, and I will make it possible-”

“No.”

His eyes narrowed at how quickly I answered.

“My mother-”

“Is already being transferred to another hospital at the moment. My pack has gotten your stepfather’s consent. She will be moved to an exclusive hospital guarded by my people where Landon could not enter.”

My eyes widened. “W-what? Why?”

“Let’s just say that I don’t dive into something unknown, Elianna. I had to know everything about you to avoid any future complications. That way, no one else can use you and your possible weaknesses against me. Once the transfer is complete, they will give me an update. If you want, you can have a video call tomorrow with the nurse I assigned for your mother.”

I didn’t know what to feel. Half of me was relieved that Landon could not use my mother against me anymore, but the other half was worried. Because it just meant that Landon was no longer the only one who owed him.

After Landon cheated, he stopped being my husband and started becoming like my boss, my master. Even if I didn’t let him touch me, I was still under his command for years. He controlled almost every aspect of my life including what I eat and drink, even when to go to the gym, who to talk to, and what I could tell them. I could not even visit my mother without begging him.

Everything, including my feelings: my anger, sadness, humiliation, disgust, fear, and distress, even some negative feelings I’ d only known after getting married, had to revolve around him, claiming that if he could no longer have my love, then he’d have all that instead. That was how much of a crazy bastard he was.

Suddenly, that changed.

But I had a feeling that it didn’t mean I was free.

This only meant that I’d been completely transferred to another master.
