Chapter 17 REGRETS
Vance's POV
Tuesday night
My wolf clawed at Curtis and used our canines to crab his shirt and threw him to the other side of the road. Sianna eyes widened in shock and fear as she looked at me in my barbarous wolf form.
My gaze screened her body and saw her wearing a sexy white lingerie that made my wolf want to fuck her right there. It coated her perfectly curved body and I saw her round firm breast and nipples, not to mention her well shaved pussy that was now reacting to my wolf's presence.
'Kill him now. He touched what's mine!' My wolf roared thunderously in my head.
I growled with a seething anger. Turned my head to the rumpled man across the street who had shifted into his wolf. His challenging growls awaken the Alpha in me and I rushed to remind him of his place with the intent to kill.
He rushed forward and the stupid pup didn't realize he was no match for me. He's not even of an Alpha bloodline. I dodge his first attack and slammed my right paw into the left side of his neck. I opened my jaws to bite him so that I could rip his throat out when her voice stopped me.
Curtis laid on the ground, blood seeping out of his fur. With my paw still pinned into him so that he could not move, I turned to look at my mate. She was clinging her coat closed with her hands, but pleading eyes with tears running down her face urged me to move towards her.
"Please don't kill him." She implored rubbing my wolf's head shakily. "He didn't hurt me, he was upset."
No explanation would suffice for him touching her and what the fuck was she wearing? My pupils dilated with anger and turned blood red.
"It's not what it looks like." Her eyes impossible dull as tears formed in them.
Sianna gentle strokes me, rubbing my fur slowly eradicated the raged that brood in me. My breath moderately regulated and I shift into my naked human form. I pulled her into my embrace to fully calm down.
I held onto her like my life depending on her closeness. I never wanted to let her go for fear that she would run to be by his side. No fucking way! My piercing canines remained elongated as the deadly desire burned in my veins.
As long as Curtis existed in this world, my wolf and I cannot be contented. I'd probably try to kill him again sometime later. We could display a sham of peacefulness only to appease my mate and then hit him later when he thinks that I've cooled down. A million ways to deal with him appeared into my mind.
'Don't let him live.' My wolf bellowed maliciously, his claws extended and refusing to retract.
Vehicles passed us but they knew better than to intrude on an Alpha's quarrel or personal affairs.
"Take my car and go home, Sianna." I managed to get my words out in a whisper.
She procrastinated as she looked over to Curtis. Is she seriously concerned about him? I was her mate, her attention and heart belonged to me. Why was she acting like she cared more about him than me? Why was she dressed in a lingerie in the presence of another man? Was she going to fuck him tonight? My temper was ready to detonate.
I lead her to my car, quickly trotted to the trunk and took out a sweat pants to cover up.
"I won't kill him. He needs medical attention." I spat out in annoyance. "Don't blame me for my actions if you don't get in my fucking car and go home."
She was shaking. I didn't want to talk to her in that angry tone. An alpha's anger emitted strong aura that hurts lower ranked wolves into submission. It was like an attack on the mind that gave pain in the head. I couldn't control my commanding tone that made her whimper as she finally obeyed.
I didn't move towards the injured guy until she drove off. I fought with my wolf to stop myself from ripping him to shreds. 'Let me have him for dinner!'
"We promised our mate to spare his life, if we break this promise she would never trust us again." I fired at him.
My belligerent behavior dealt with him in a hostile manner as I lifted him with one hand. Threw him into his Ford like a log and took him to the pack hospital.
Immediately the staff came to my aid, they could sense my aura fuelling out and knew to promptly attend to me. None wanted to defy me or even hold me glare.
Only wolves and witches lived in my pack. Vampires kept to themselves. Humans were aware of the three major supernatural existence but we preferred not to have them living among us. Everything existed in my pack so that we could reserve to our own kind.
Vampires, wolves and witches co-habited in the world, having their own territories. The council consisted of all four spices with four leaders. I was the council leader for all werewolves. We created harmony and maintained it through rules and an ancient blood covenant.
Without a word I left the hospital. Images of Sianna in her lingerie flashed multiple times across my mind. I shifted in front of the hospital and went hunting. I ran for hours through the large meadow on a hill looking for a bunny, squirrel, a deer or boar. Skunks lived there but my wolf hated their scent. He got the shivers at the thought of being near one. Brrr!
We howled into the cool night air as my fur shifted from the wind. I spotted a boar and slowly crept through the grass to draw nearer to him. It looked up into its surroundings from feasting on some fallen fruits. I stopped and waited for it to be distracted.
My wolf smacked his lips, tongue running along his teeth and sprung after it. I caught up with it and let it run as we enjoyed the adrenaline of the chase. My wolf wanting to taste its blood, did one final leap to dig his claws into the back of the boar. The force of which plummeted the boar hard into the ground.
I hovered over it, watching it try to squiggle out of danger but not when I'm its predator. I stared at it and I poke it again with my claws as the blood poured out. It oinked and grunted and I wished that this boar was Curtis. As I held his image in my mind, my wolf bite down in its neck. And if tearing off its head wasn't good enough, he used his sharp claw to cut the belly open. He bit his canines into his exposing side, lifted it up and flashed it until the intestine and other organs fell out all over the ground. 'Let's hunt another. Get us a deer.' He wasn't satisfied but I rebuffed his desire.
"Let's go home. I have pack work to do." Reluctantly he strut all the way to our home. I shifted in my human form and entered my house.
I can't believe that she was going to give herself to him again after being marked and claimed by me. What was she thinking? Did she know she would hurt the bond between us? What would have happened if I hadn't shown up in time?
I needed to calm down before seeing her. My wolf and I would never hurt her but we would be releasing our anger, and end up arguing with certainty. I took out my phone and sent her a text.
Me: We need to talk in the morning. Come to my house by 8:00 am.
I thought she would have responded in the night but as I awoke in the morning and checked my phone, there was no response. I decided to hang at home until 9am to see if she would show up.
made coffee and went to my office and suddenly remembered that the file that I needed was still in the car that Sianna drove to her house. I sent another message to her upon the awareness.
Me: Good morning, love. There's a file in your car that I need. It's important that no one sees it and I need it ASAP. Could you please bring it over? I am at home.
I hit the shower and put on a red-violet buttoned up shirt with my light blue denim jeans. I ran my hands through my hair and decided to keep the messy look.
My doorbell rang, I felt my wolf's joy and knew that it was our mate. And in my exhilaration to see Sianna, I sped out the room and down the stairs. I paused to collected myself. I took a deep breath in and with a nonchalant attitude, I opened the door.
Her blue eyes sent sweet shivers down my spine. I felt the urge to hug and kiss her but I ushered her into the living room, still pretending to be cool.
She was wearing a yellow floral sundress with white lily flower prints. She was so cute and adorable. Her facial expression was unreadable but through the bond I could feel her emotions stirring to know that she was sad and worried. Her eyes too seemed like she cried last night, swollen and red.
She extended her hand to give me the file. "Thank you." I took it and looked intently at her. "Have you eaten?"
She nodded but stayed silent as she stood at the door. I thought her response to be a lie but did not comment on it. I heard the resonant sounds of her tummy, and I knew that they weren't worms.
"I know that you loved Curtis and probably still do. But when we completed the mating process you became mine. I expected you to act in that manner and that your loyalty would be to me." I paused to observe her facial expressions. "I didn't know you'd go back to him."
I scratched the back of my neck trying to conceal my pain. Saying those words hurt severely. I loved her tremendously.
Her eyes had bags under them. She didn't sleep last night either. Now I'm angry that because of Curtis she lost sleep and looked so worn out.
"I wasn't going back to him but I was calling you and you ignored my calls. You didn't even call me back." She uttered softly to hide the shakiness in her tone. "You even closed the mind-link."
Her words hit me like a bulldozer tearing down a wall. "How does that rationalize you wanting to cheat on me?" Was I hearing her correctly?
"I didn't cheat on you!" She lashed back.
Calmly I responded "You didn't cheat because I showed up, right?" I had to be calm so that I wouldn't scare her away. "Where were you going with him last night?"
She scoffed while her eyes narrowed as if in disbelief. "I don't know, he was just driving." was all I got.
"I get that you might have unresolved feelings, but you were in a fucking lingerie and the coat was the only thing that covered your entire body. That tells me that you were going to fuck him, Sianna." Defeated I threw my hand up in the air. "Is this how you want it between us?" I coiled my right hand into a fist and slammed it into the palms of my left hand in exasperation. "Are you going to stand there and lie to me?"
She bit her lips and her eyes watered but I had to ask, "Do you even want me, Sianna?" The frustration of hardly getting any substantial responses from her was very disappointing and heart wrecking.
My wolf whined in pain from the tension that moon over in the atmosphere. I didn't want to lose her but she need to know who she wanted. Her heart cannot be split into halves for two men. It could only be for one of us, and that should be me.
"It was revenge sex between us, right?" I asked but didn't want her to confirm it. It would drastically kill me. "You slept with me to get back at him, right?"
Silence signified confirmation, and that's what I got, nothing. I stared at the woman that I would die for. I wanted her, and that mark on her neck proclaimed that she was mine now and forevermore. I'll get rid of Curtis soon enough, even if she hated me for it. Because in this moment, I was livid.
"I am willing to give you some time. How about you tell me who you want to be with in a couple of days or so?" I went to my office to take out another one of my car keys to head out. She was standing in the same place and position when I came out. "You can have the convertible. It's yours. Consider it as a gift." I moved closer to her. "For the record, I am not buying your affections." I placed the keys into her hand. "That's why I am giving you time to search your heart and decide who you want. I promise to respect your decision."
'Yeah, right,' my wolf scowled.
I walked to the door and she did not move. Her silence was like a dagger to my heart.
"Can you not fuck him until you make your decision?" I'd go ballistic.
She gave me a death glare. Her lips pursed in an angry way as if she wanted to tell me how many strings made me up.
"He's alive for your sake but don't push me. I love you to death. I always will." I walked out of my house to the garage, started
the ignition of my gladiator jeep and drove off.
Did she regret being my mate?
