Chapter 21 EXPLANATIONS
Sianna's POV
Flashback - Tuesday night
After talking with mom and dad on the phone, I went back to my room and started to miss Vance. The very mate bond that I was running away from was operating like a magnetic element within me, which generated bizarre yet wonderful emotions.
I wanted more of Vance, the thought of feeling him inside of me again, was already sending a throbbing into my core. My heart was now skipping at with my anxiety.
A brilliant idea jotted into my head. I took out a white bodystocking lingerie from my draw. I was going to surprise visit Vance and I aimed to look the sexiest that I could. I wanted his face to have that drooling expression.
I laughed to myself as I showered with my favorite body wash, lotion my body, applied light make-up and got dressed in the lingerie. I grabbed my single breasted trench coat from the closet and tied the belt around my waist.
"Mom, I am going to Vance's. Don't wait up!" I shouted as I arrived downstairs and took her car keys from the holder rack at the foyer.
The coolness of the night's air felt pleasant on the parts of my body that were exposed to it. I open my arms wide and inhaled the refreshing air to wallow in it while standing on the porch. It could have been a good night for a run, but she gravitated to the idea of spending time with our mate.
I walked onto the pavement and disabled the alarm of mom's car as the beeping sounds went off and the front light flickered. I opened the door to get inside, and was started when I saw Curtis' silver Ford Fusion pulled up. His breaks screeched based on the urgency that he drove. Was he lurking for me outside of my house? He got out and briskly walked up to me.
"What the hell, Sianna!" He cursed, his steps were quick as he approached me in anger. "Did you block me?" I studied his face. " I have been calling you for days!"
"Curtis, you sound angry, and you need to calm down." I tried to soothe him while avoiding his questions. I didn't want the pitch of his voice to alert my mom or the neighbors. "We can talk but right now, I am on my way out."
"Where are you going? I can take you." He remarked in a softer tone.
Shaking my head vigorously I replied, "I am taking my mom's car. I am fine. Please go home and then come back tomorrow when you are much calmer."
I opened the car door and lifted my foot to sit but before I could get in he grabbed my hand and twirl me to face him. "Why are you pushing me away?" His eye narrowed with his words. "Let's talk now. I'll take you there in my car and pick you back up."
He pulled me along the pavement as he walked towards his car. His strides were fast and I had to double his steps to keep up. I tried to undo his grip but his was stronger. I felt helpless. His elite warrior training made the idea of fighting him pointless. But he had never been this aggressive with me before. Something had changed.
As I struggled he stopped, and heist me over his shoulders so that my head bobbed against his back. He lowered me into the passenger side of the vehicle. Even with my legs kicking into air was no impact on his hold. He locked the door with his remote and unlocked the driver's door only as he got in. He drove off after securing the car so that I couldn't escape.
"I can't do this right now. This is kidnapping!" I yelled but he ignored me. I was mad at him more than before. Damn!
"You are my girlfriend. I am entitled to spend time with you." He retorted taking a confident but irritated stance. He cringed and bit his lips.
I scoffed, "You have the nerve!"
"You are all dolled up." He vetted my appearance. "You only get dolled up when we go on dates or a party. So... are you going?"

I pouted in frustration because I didn't want to tell him. This was not the forum to have the conversation that we needed to. " OUT!" I yelled and avoided looking at him. "Fuck this!"
"Are you seeing someone?" He asked with his eyes holding fury, "I heard that rogue has been visiting your home. Is he your mate?"
"Watch the damn road and stop eyeballing me!" I evaded the question. "My mate, whomever he may be, is none of your business."
He slowed down and pulled over to the right side of the road. He was angry but trying to contain himself. A few seconds passed in silence. Then he turned to look at me. "Sianna, baby, please." He begged desperately, showing pain in his eyes, "Why are you avoiding me? What did I do?"
"Do you think that doing this will make me less angry at you?" I tried to provoke his thoughts with questions.
"Baby, I don't even know why you are mad." He touched my arms and I shrugged. "Baby...." He edged his face closer to me, trying to land a kiss but I shifted away from him.
"Curtis, please take me home. I won't go where I was going again. We can talk in the morning at my home but right now I have nothing to say to you." I can't believe my night was spoilt like this.
I felt like clobbering him for his disloyalty, but he came so unexpectedly. My mind was on Vance and now I have to deal with Curtis. My wolf was annoyed and ready to snap. Damn!
He only stared at me blankly. "Curtis!"
He flung his door open and swiftly appeared on the passenger's side where he opened the door and yanked me out. Forcing me to lean back on the vehicle, he held my hands and I was wrestling to snatch them away from him.
"Sianna, I am your man. What's gotten into you?' He tried to get another kiss on the lips. I struggled continuous against him, refusing to give him any part of me ever.
The loose tie on the belt of the coat became undone from the friction of struggling between the two of us. He cast his eyes to look at my attire. When he glimpsed what I was wearing underneath he added more strength to pin my hands above my head so that the coat opened wider. His eyes darkened from anger. Shit, this wasn't going to go well.
"Who are you fucking, Sianna?" He growled with power and I stiffened with fear. Understanding the flickers in his eyes, I stayed silent.
I tried again to get out of his firm hold as he grimaced. Suddenly, a loud compelling and dominant growl brought our attention to the most gigantic black wolf I have ever seen as he attacked Curtis and flung him to the other side of the road.
Blazing red eyes stared at me. The all-powerful aura compassed me and my wolf uttered 'Mate.' He snarled and growled in angry as his flaring breath could be seen from his nostrils. He turned and in a swift movement and attacked Curtis again, and just as he was about to do his deadly blow, I screamed at him. "Stooooooooop!"
No, no, no, he can't die. This is all my fault. I thought to myself holding my face in my hands. "Please don't kill him!"
Vance removed his paws from his body and approached me, snarling and bearing his teeth. Tears ran down my cheeks as I quickly closed my coat and securely tied my belt before rubbing his head, hoping to calm him down. I could smell blood, but it was Curtis' blood. "He didn't h-hurt me, h-he was upset."
I gently stroke his head and rubbed the side of his neck shakily. I felt him calming down and he shifted into his naked human form. He pulled me against his chest and embraced me as if his life depended on it. His chest heaved large breaths and the drumming of his heart beats pound into my ears.
"Take my car and go home, Sianna." He commanded but I froze.
I dithered thinking I could not trust him to not apply any further harm to Curtis. I looked over to Curtis with great concern evident all over me. I felt Vance's anger excreting into the atmosphere and without any more delays he led me to his car, quickly trotted to the trunk and took out a sweatpants to cover up.
"I won't kill him. He needs medical attention." He was deeply annoyed and I was not convinced. "Don't blame me for my actions if you don't get in the damn car and go home."
I snapped my thoughts into thinking it's best to obey him when I felt his alpha command. If he hurt Curtis, I wouldn't forgive him. I started the ignition and drove off without looking back, tears blinding my eyes.
I got home in a matted state. Mom was sleeping and she'd know that I was home by my scent. I got up to my room on the opposite side of the corridor. I flung myself on the bed trying to regulate my breathing so that my heart beat was stop its erratic beating. This night had been crazy.
I told Curtis to go home, but did he listen to me? No, he did not. I was freaking out. No one wants an angry Alpha to be mad at them. I've heard and seen of things that he's done to those who opposed or disobeyed him. I bit the inside of my lower lip, wondering if he would punish me.
'Do you think he killed Curtis?' I questioned my wolf.
'Our mate wouldn't break his promise to us.' My wolf assured me.
I couldn't sleep. I wasn't tired. I was consumed with anxiety which was evident by the twisting and turning that I did under the covers. I turned my bedside lamp on and took up a text book to read, but my mind was blocked for me to concentrate. I went downstairs and got some water, and ate some chips.
I paced my room, thinking that if Curtis dies, the Blacks would hate me. Would Vance still want me as his mate? I went back into bed, pulled the sheets to cover up to my waist, and stared at my ceiling. I closed my eyes while trying to envision what kind of future was possible for me.
I am not sure what time it was when I got the message from Vance. 'We need to talk in the morning. Come to my house by 8:00 am.'
I felt like a teenage who was summoned to the principal's office. I was edgy and restless. I didn't respond but knew I had to see him in the morning. How mad was he? I cried again.
'Mate won't hurt us,' my wolf comforted me.
I had no choice but to see him so that Curtis could live.
End of flashback.
Vance laid on the pillow with his eyes closed as I finished telling him in details what transpired last night. His face was expressionless. However, the mate bond was the source of the rage that was erupting within Vance, that I felt.
Although he had me tightly in his arms, I felt like I was drowning in his wrath. His respiration changed to heavy inhalations, making it clear that he was struggling to manage his emotions.
I immediately planted kisses on his cheek, forehead, and lips while tears were stinging in my eyes from the intensity of these
feelings.
"It's alright. Vance, I'm here now. It's alright." His trembling subsided as I stroked his chest.
"Tell him how you feel about him.' My wolf urged.
I learned about my mate that he can be totally calm when he is raging with the worst anger. So when he goes in for the kill, the enemy would least expect it. Other alphas would huff and puff and attack on the impulse, but Vance took his time to study his enemy, learnt their weaknesses before he disintegrated their soul.
"I had planned to break up with Curtis." Vance opened his eyes to be more attentive. "He found his mate and he ended up kissing her. I don't know if they slept with each other."
"Is that what got you upset on Sunday, at the end of our date?" He sneered. "The revenge sex."
"Yes, I saw her social media page of a kissing photo with Curtis on her profile." I sighed. "Since we both found our mates and the pull of the bond was getting the better of us, I thought it proved that we weren't meant to be, and that it was better for us to be with our mates."
He kissed my forehead. "I don't want to ever see you dressed like that in front of another man. Next time call me and I will pick you up. If I don't answer, I promise to always call you back. Just give me some time. Even if I died and went to hell I will still come back to you." He paused. "It was a good thing that my wolf told me to go to your house so that I could rescue you." "Thanks for coming on time. I love you" I kissed his lips. "I am yours, Mr. Alpha Vance Wolverson."
He rolled me over as we playfully kissed some more, then he shifted his kisses to the side of my neck where my mark was. Wouldn't it be nice if your last name changed to Wolverson?"
"Wait, what?" My mind slowly came to terms with what he said. "Was that a proposal?" I asked and he chuckled.
(C
I surely hope that he was in a good mood. Without warning, he turned me around and started fucking me from behind. My rest,
I suppose, was done.
For all that, he held me in his arms after finishing his hot sessions and smirked at how worn out I was. It was hardcore, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
"You made me incredibly mad. You ought to stop talking to him. He is not someone I want near you. I dislike him."
I sputtered, "I'll take care of it." The possessiveness was expected, and he was right. He had every right to request that other
guys stayed away from me.
"Don't go around him anymore," he sighed, "Let's get some rest before we continue."
My eyes widen, "Continue what?"
The evil smirk clouded his features, "Don't worry, I will be gentle this time."
My wolf laughed at me.
