191- Heat and Chains
POV Elowen Grimwald:
You cow! No! Stop that!
I controlled even my breathing so as not to make any sound that might provoke the fury of that beast, but my shameless she-wolf decided to call out for Aldren.
He most certainly heard her, but unlike the first time, he chose to ignore it. Maybe he was too tired to react?
If I could, I would crawl into a hole and never again expose myself to the light of day. Out of control from heat and under the effect of his pheromones, I had offered myself to the alpha like a slut.
What shame…
I doubted I would be able to fall asleep, as doubts gnawed at me about what my own existence would be like. Why was I in his room? What would my fate be? And what about Kehin’s?
Not that I cared about that miserable bastard, because if he hadn’t wanted trouble, all he had to do was not come to me trying to fuck me, or simply not kidnap me.
If his freedom had been turned into imprisonment, it was entirely his own fault.
Making my state even worse, one of the bedroom windows was ajar. The gentle wind stirred like a warning of a storm and seemed to head straight into the new cage. No heater was on, and the cold punished even my feverish body.
My chin began to tremble and, curled up in the corner of the bars, I bit my own tongue as hard as I could to keep my teeth from chattering and making noise.
The backs of my thighs burned from Aldren’s claws, and he probably didn’t know I was without my rapid healing. The cold also brought the reminder that my bladder was about to burst.
I must have mocked the gods in my past life to be this fucked.
The cold and anguish made me lose track of time. Suddenly, I heard a brutal growl.
My heartbeat jumped and I held my breath. I almost hugged the icy bars of the cage, as if they could somehow protect me.
Oh, no.
Was it Aldren?
I wrinkled my nose, searching for his scent, and he didn’t seem any closer to me; he was still in his bed. I only knew because the structure creaked at the moment he lay down.
“No! Kill her!” It was definitely Aldren. Was he having a nightmare? “Ah! Son of a bitch!” A painful howl reverberated through the room. “They didn’t… Ah! No!” he continued, as if trapped in a vivid nightmare.
Should I wake him or not? What were my chances of getting screwed?
“Aldren?” Fuck it, maybe he’d even thank me.
Calling him gently didn’t work, because he kept letting out groans of pain that almost made me feel sorry for him.
“Hey, big guy? What’s going on over there?” I raised my voice, and then the groans stopped immediately. Unsure whether he had woken up or not, I went on. “Nightmare, huh? I know how bad those are. Well, if you want to thank me for getting you out of it, let me pee?”
Besides the whistling of the wind through the walls, silence settled in. “Not happening, right? That’s what I thought. Well, maybe I’ll die of a urinary infection. Sad ending.”
Sometimes my tongue seemed to have a life of its own and ignored the fact that we could very easily end up without a neck.
I accepted defeat and focused on holding my pee until… No!
Followed by another creak came the sound and vibration of his heavy footsteps approaching me. A beep from the electronic lock, and I only believed he was really there when he grabbed my arm and yanked me to my feet.
“Be cute and you’ll suffer consequences,” he breathed the threat at my ear, dressing my entire skin in chills.
“Y-yes…”
With the subtlety of an avalanche, he dragged me out of the cage toward what I hoped was the bathroom. A few steps and stumbles later, a door opened and I was shoved inside.
Only a wall sconce with warm light was on, revealing a modern vanity, different from what I had expected. Brownish stones with a noble look, a long mirror, two sinks, a separate shower and bathtub.
“The toilet is next to the shower, bitch. Be quick,” he directed, releasing my arm roughly.
Instead of following, I turned my body toward him and… immediately regretted it.
My mouth formed a silent “O.” Aldren was completely naked.
The lighting reflected gold on his skin, with a thin trail of hair outlining every muscle of his abdomen and a path of pronounced veins down to… the large, long thing between his legs.
“A—” My throat went so dry that only a hiss came out, and a dampness grew between my legs. Was it pee or…?
“Wipe the drool and go already, bitch.” His rough tone snapped me back to myself. I covered my eyes with the palms of my hands, wishing I could erase that image from my head. “Move.”
“But you… are you going to stay here? Can you wait for me outside?”
“You must be joking. I’m not leaving you alone in my bathroom under any circumstances. Go.”
“But my bladder is shy—”
“Fuck! Go fuck yourself!” he roared demonically, dragging me out of the bathroom and back toward the bedroom. The rough pull uncovered my eyes, but the darkness didn’t help.
“Ah! I’m sorry! No, no, I accept you staying in there with me!” I begged.
“No chance.”
In a desperate move, I used my free hand to touch him and jumped in front of him, stopping his steps. My hands reached what felt like his chest.
“Please, please, please!”
A guttural growl filled my ears and, in a fraction of a second, I was pinned against the bars of the cage, a huge, hot hand gripping my neck.
I grew dizzy. Intoxicated by his scent and wrapped in his energy, which felt like it was caressing me.
Aldren breathed in angry bursts that blew against my face, and a growl left his mouth as if his chest itself were rumbling.
That was enough for my she-wolf to purr at him again.
No! He hates our purring!
His hand tightened harder around my neck, tearing the air from me. I wished I hadn’t felt it—I truly did—but what seemed to be his cock brushed against my abdomen.
And then she did it again…
“It’s not me, I swear…” I whispered, muffled.
“Bitch. You fucked Kehin’s destiny and now you want to fuck mine. What are you? A fucking witch? You bewitched him and now you think you can do the same to me?” His voice came out thicker, deeper, and more threatening.
Aldren buried his face in my hair and inhaled deeply, his unshaven beard grazing my jaw. I gasped, feeling my legs tremble and liquid run down them.
Infamous heat!
