Take Me Once, I'll Bleed You Twice novel Chapter 11

Chapter H

BEATRICE

Before she had a chance to see his reaction, Hendricks was suddenly no longer on top of Beatrice. He was suddenly grabbing her hand and pulling her back onto her feet like nothing had happened. “I’ll have Beta Benedict bring you to the room you’ll be using tonight. After tomorrow’s ceremony, we’ll be sharing my room.”

She couldn’t help but snort. “Trying to keep my purity in check?” Her mouth just never knew when to stop running off on its own. He should be trying to keep that in check, not her purity.

“Unless you’d rather spend some quality time with me,” he grinned, using the hand he still held to pull her in close. His arre wrapped around her waist as

he pressed their bodies together, “I would suggest having your own space, until you’ve been marked.”

What gave Beatrice the idea to do this she may never know, but she couldn’t deny how proud she felt in the split second afterwards. With her free hand, she

reached up to touch his face, fingers tracing along his jaw to stop at his lips. Watching his eyes widen in surprise at her gentle touch made it all the sweeter

when she shoved two fingers up his nose and another into his eye.

Hendricks staggered backwards, cursing at the top of his lungs.

Not wasting any time, Beatrice spun around and dashed to the door. Throwing it open, her heart sank at the sight of Tweedledee, now renamed Benedict the

Tweedledick,

“You alright, Alpha?” The asshole asked, eyes never leaving Beatrice. Those eyes promised horrible things if she tried anything.

“Yeah,” Hendricks replied with a growl. “She’s feistier than I expected.”

“She’s a real…” Tweedledick seemed to hesitate before finishing his sentence. “Piece of work.”

It was obvious he’d wanted to call her a bitch and Beatrice wondered why he’d changed it to something with less of an impact. Whatever. It was a mystery for another day. Right now, she had bigger problems.

Strong hands grabbed her from behind, turning her around until she was facing Hendricks again. He pinned Beatrice against his body, eyes still that eerie gold colour. “If you’re not going to behave then I have no other choice but to do this now.”

“What are you-” she managed to squeak out before a sharp pain shot into her shoulder near her neck – kidnapping and she screamed. He’d bitten her! What the hell!

the same shoulder Tweedledum had hurt during her

A strange feeling started to spread through Beatrice’s body, like something was heating the blood in her veins from the inside. She shuddered uncontrollably as Hendricks loosened his grip and nearly collapsed, unable to grasp what was happening.

“Is she alright?” She heard Tweedledick ask as he took a step closer.

“It’s possible the mark might be a bit… much to handle right away, since she’s human,” Hendricks mused, though he didn’t sound confident or apologetic

“What did you do?” Beatrice gasped as a shard of pain formed at the base of her skull. “What did you do?!”

“I marked you,” he replied, voice smug. “Now, no matter how far you go, I’ll always be able to find you. You are mine and, once you mark me, I will be yours. Forever.”

The thought of being with this selfish, arrogant, asshole of a man

werewolf, whatever

made Beatrice want to vomit.
