Immediately Hawk reached the office I suspect to be for Rex, he knocked once and without waiting for a reply. He opened the door, gently pulled me in, and shut the door with his leg.
“Rain,” he said.
I can’t tell if he is talking to me or Rex that had his back on us.
Even Alpha Brook’s study is more as big, lively, and dead at the same time. No colors, not even his picture except a scarf hanging on a nail right above his window.
I visibly tensed as I watch him put both hands into his pocket before turning back to look at me. His cold stare was fixed on Hawk’s grip on my upper arms for a quick second before looking at my face.
Rex didn’t smile, he didn’t act like I am something important to him much more acting as he has just broke my heart. What was I expecting? Rex? Carrying me in his as while he proclaims his love to me all day.
My gaze followed Rex’s gaze to one of the chairs in front of the table. He then looked at Hawk who grinned before walking away.
‘It’s just both of us’ Ashina giggled in pure excitement.
Even when I also want to get, the cold gaze Rex kept giving me creep the heck out of me. All I did was stand still while I watch him walk up to me with a small box. A royal kind of box and I can tell it has to be from a king or something if not close to being the park’s important tool.
Placing the box on the table, Rex opens it and reveals a dagger. Gingerly picking it up with his gaze on me, I feared for my life. I fear he might have gotten bored of me already and want to shamelessly kill his mate because he doesn’t want her.
‘Do something, Ashina’ I thought.
Normally, I feel like I should do something but I am scared to do anything. I have been in danger before, I have been threatened with silver, and the worst fear of being thrown to the bloodthirsty rogues but dying in the arms of your mates seems more than scary.
Her heart raced, pounding like she had been running for years. Her entire body trembled as she let Rex take her right palm and stared gravely at her. He brought up the knife and paused.
“I just want to link you up with the park, stop acting like I want to kill you”.
Uhmm. So I was just overthinking getting stabbed to death by my mate instead of checking the…
“Ouch!”.
I screamed.
With my surprise gaze fixed on his face while he ignores me, I wonder what must have made him slit my palm then his. Watching it, the feel like he is waiting for something, something I know would not happen but I still let him see for himself.
“You are not healing” Rex panicked.
Instead of me to be in pain for my wounded palm, I felt more in love. I can’t believe my mate still cares for me to the point of rushing to his cabinet to bring out of a black bag. He set it on the table and opened it impatiently.
“What’s happening to you?” He asked as he wet the cotton pad with alcohol and move back to me.
Casually with a smile on my face, I tucked stray hair off my face as I shyly respond.
“I have always been the wolf that heals slowly” I whispered.
Come to think of it! I thought I have shifted and therefore a full wolf?! I am supposed to be able to heal fast like every other wolf and not whimper as the burning sensation from the wet cotton pad cleans my wound.
Groaning while I clenched my dress, I bit my lower lips as I tried to look away from my hurting palm. Unfortunately, I got attracted to his palm that he had a slit. If the healing power is magic, I would say Rex has more than enough.
‘His palm is as good as new’ Ashina gasped.
While we watch our mate bandage my palm, I wiggled my aching left-hand fingers. I want to touch him, want to feel the beards on his face, want to touch his lips he had kept in thin lines but his cold gaze wouldn’t let me do it.
After fixing my palm, Rex didn’t let go. His grip remains strong and I had no idea if I should take the duration of his touch as the way he shows his affection or the cruel way he looks at me.
A sweet sensation flooded down my spine as I felt his touch moving up to the upper side of my arm. Now with both hands on my shoulders, Rex yanked me towards him. My face slammed on his chest making it hurt for a while before getting back to normal. The painful part is when I could not rub it.
‘How on earth would he have his hurting grip on our shoulders while he wants us’ Ashina scoffed.
Rex wants me and I know it.
Bringing me close to myself, I literally felt his arms around me as he sniffed me. A low growl could be heard from his chest and I can tell how awkward that is, especially when his finger moved into my hair and grabbed it.
Hard and hurtful but I didn’t complain. I chew inside my mouth to suppress the painful moan until I felt him yank harder.
Fine! I get it that I want to be with him. Want to have his arms around me. Want him to make me his mate and Luna but not this way. So far I know how this happens, all I see here is assault and if it had been in my previous park, I am sure someone would come to my rescue.
“Rain” Rex muttered.
His voice was hoarse, harsh and low. I can feel his hot breath on my neck as he yanked my hair, taking my head to a direction therefore exposing my neck to him.
I began to feel his kissed on my neck, down to my cleavage and before I know what was happening, Rex is kissing me. It happened fast, so fast that I had no idea if I should worry about the pain of his claws now slightly digging into the back of my neck or the about the pain of his extreme tight grip of my hair.
I could barely breath, my body trembled as I fear for my life in the hands on my mate. It was such a relief to have his brutal kiss off my lips to my neck this time.
“Alph… Mate” I whimpered “You are hurting…”.
Before I could finish talking, I felt it. His sharp teeth pressed on my slender neck while his sharp claws dug more into my flesh.
“Please don’t hurt me” I begged.
