Cindy’s POV
“Where do you think you’re going, Clover?” Alder asked angrily. I was worried, yes. But I had to do what I needed to do. I can only stay here after it’s too late.
“I already told you, Alder,” I replied, trying to hide the nervousness I was feeling right now. He walked towards me without leaving my eyes. His being there that instant made me wonder how he ever did that.
“I thought I had already made myself clear, and I guess you are really hard-headed and left me with no choice.” His voice was deep and hoarse, as though he wasn’t the one who was talking to me, which made me worried.
“What, are you going to give me your king’s command?” I asked, even though I started to feel scared, too. I think he still looks angry, and Masha told me his deep black orbs were boring holes in my head because of his beast that was taking over his human form.
“No, I am going to give you the worst,” he replied, pulling me. I was shocked and didn’t know what to do when he suddenly had me bare my neck on him and, without warning, bit me.
“Aaahhhh,” I screamed; it was so painful. Is he going to kill me now? Is he that mad that he wanted me dead? Anger arose in me, but he pushed me away before I could ever push him.
“What did you do?” I asked, holding my neck, which was still bleeding. I glared at him when he didn’t reply and saw guilt on his face, but only for a moment. His face hardened, and he glared back at me.
“I marked you. Now, you will be able to know how I feel,” he said, and that’s it. I was really furious because, as far as I know, marking means claiming, and I should give him my permission for him to be able to do that.
“How dare you! You have to ask my permission before you do that!” I yelled as I started to feel my wounds heal.
“You gave me no choice. You tried to run away from me!” he yelled back.
“I hate you! I really hate you!” I shouted, crying. Then I felt pain in my heart, but I knew it wasn’t mine. ‘It was him. He was hurting because of what you said.’ Masha said sadly.
“I will never mark you,” I said before running away. I didn’t feel him following, and I didn’t bother to look back either. All I want is to get away from him even if my heart doesn’t want to because of the pain that he is feeling right now because of me. When I thought he would never really stop me, he appeared before me again, making me stop running. Can he teleport? It was the only thing that could explain why he always caught up with me.
“You’re going to leave?” he asked with a stoic face. I didn’t know what he was thinking and couldn’t feel his emotions either. I didn’t reply and showed him my determination. I have no time for him. I need to punish Mike and Lin for what they did to me. He sighed before he walked towards me and punched me in my gut so that I gasped for air and lost consciousness for I don’t know how long.
I woke up with an aching head, and so was my stomach; then I remembered what Alder did to me. I sat up from bed and looked around. I had a feeling that I was no longer in the Hill Crest Pack.
The room was very elegant and looked royal, especially the four-poster bed I was sitting in. Everything inside screams wealth, and, as far as the design is concerned, I can tell that I am in a man’s room.
The door swung open, which made me divert my attention to it, and came in Alder. I was angry when I realized he had already brought me to his palace.
“Where am I?” I asked angrily.
“Palace,” he replied casually, which made me even more furious. How could he respond to me as though he had not done anything wrong to me?
“You still brought me here even though I already told you that I didn’t want to come? You’re so selfish.” I said and walked towards him and hit him on his chest. He tried to stop me but didn’t avoid or avoid my beatings. He must have felt guilty.
“I hate you! I hate you! I will never forgive you! No matter what you do, I am never going to accept you!” I screamed with my tears falling. I am angry and worried.
While I was here with him, Mike and Lin might have done everything they could to make sure that they could get their hands on my wealth. That’s why I was worried. I shouldn’t let that happen.
” You can hate me all you want, but that will never change the fact that you are mine.” He said as he held me on my wrist. I tried to get away from him, but he was so strong.
“You won’t be able to do anything when the time comes,” He added.
“What do you mean?” I asked, glaring at him.
“I guess your wolf didn’t tell you anything.”
“Just tell me what the fu** you mean!” I shouted, and he laughed, and that irritated me. How can he laugh at a time like this?
He let go of one of my wrists only to touch me on my cheeks and gently rubbed it. Fu**, here comes this feeling again. But it was a bit different now, and it was as though I wanted him to take me now, as in now. “You will have no choice but to beg me to fu** you, which might lead to you marking me.” He said as he gave my neck a circling motion with his thumb. It was the part where he bit me.
I closed my eyes and believed him instantly. Right now, all I want is for him to kiss me and take me to his bed.” You see,” he said, which made me open my eyes and meet his.
“I just touched you, but I am willing to bet the entire kingdom to you that a hot liquid was already dripping in between your thighs.” He added, and my eyes widened.
What he said was true; I felt wet already, and any minute now, I might pull him and initiate the kiss that I wanted him to give me. This is bad, really bad.
