Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Emera Black

"We are leaving," I said once they walk into the room to see me packing my bag. Chole's face held confusion and Christabel's face held reluctantly and annoyance, I was sure because she didn't want to leave her mate so soon. I guess the mate both was making her feel that way, which means she must have kissed her mate which was the only way to activate the mate bond between them.

"Isn't it too late for that?" Christabel snorted with a laugh like I was just kidding. I won't blame her because she wasn't the one minute ago that had two dangerous rogues on her tail, or was her mate trying to kill her.

"No, it isn't. Now go pack your things." I repeated, threading my hands through my hair. I needed to be out of these packs immediately for all I know more rogues could be waiting out for my blood or they must have found the dead bodies and come back for revenge to end what their other brother couldn't finish.

" Why are we leaving all of a sudden Emerald and in the middle of the night, what’s wrong, you go out for a run, and all of a sudden you say we are leaving, why is that. “she insisted eyeing me suspiciously.

" Are you running away because you killed someone. “she said as she toyed with a lock of her hair, her blue eyes eagerly waiting for my response.

Only if she knew.

" Stop asking me questions, it’s a matter of life and death, we aren't safe here anymore so go back to your room and pack up and go.go, "I said in a final tone using my alpha voice, using my hands to shoo them away from my room.

They both left reluctantly, they couldn't fight me even if they try to resist my alpha voice, it was useless.

Finally, I breathed in peace and continued packing all my clothes which weren't much, nothing was stopping me from not leaving this pack tonight.

As I put all my things inside my bag I felt something was still missing what am I forgetting, I thought inwardly then I heard the sound of the door opening.

It must be Christabel and chole, well that was fast.

"You guy were pretty fast-." I said looking away from my bag to the door but stopped midway in my speech. Alpha Rain my mate was standing at the door giving me an angry look.

"What are you doing here, "I said to my mate, who stood in his handsome glory. He still had his expensive suit on except his sleeves were rolled up and his button and tie were removed, giving him this bad boy look.

Oh, I love bad boys!

I love the bad.

His perfect stone-cold face told me he wasn't too pleased about my action on leaving his pack without informing him first.

I tried to hide the look of surprise on my face so I crossed my hands together and glared at him.

"Are you asking me if I have the right to walk around my territory, this is my pack so I get to go wherever and whenever I want to go, mate." He said eyes slightly narrowing.

" Is it a crime to ask?." I said faking in shock. I threw my hands in the air to be more dramatic.

"Don't worry I would soon be out of your pack in no time so you can freely walk around your pack with no one asking you questions,” I said then turned back to face my bag in pretense like I had other things to do like arranging my clothes rather than talking to him.

He cocked his head a little bit to the left as though he was trying to figure me out. I knew this because I was could see him with my left eye. My mate was beheld gorgeously.

"So you leaving without giving me a goodbye kiss, I heard to hear the news of your departure from my beta. Isn't that wonderful. “he said sarcastically.

Of course, Christabel will surely mindlink her loving mate the beta who would surely open his big mouth and talk to my mate to tell him we are leaving since she already figured out that alpha Rain was my mate without me opening up.

His icy gray eyes pierced through my head waiting for my response.

"Let's stop deceiving each other and reject ourselves. I know you don't want a mate who will never be your equal so quite the drama. I will never submit to you, I heard how you are so let forget each other before we continue to hurt ourselves more in the future."

I knew deep down I needed him so much especially since he was the cure to my curse. But here I was rejecting my freedom to death, I was sure death was somewhere laughing at me and waiting for me with open arms.

"Yes I won't lie and deny the fact I never wanted a mate like you but right now I have no choice." He said but he didn't also agree with the fact that he did not want us to be equal. I shivered at the rumors I heard about him what he does to females, I pray to the moon goddess I won't be alive to witness that, no death was a much better choice than being hurt by my mate, the one I was meant to love and who was supposed to love and care for me not torture me.

" And are you also going to deny the fact that you sent two wolves to kill your mate? You must be that heartless, and want me out of your life, but don't worry, I'm not that desperate to have a mate either.” I lied, glaring at him.

" What are you talking about, I never sent anyone to kill you."

" Yes you did, now please leave. Oh, I forgot you are the big bad alpha of this pack and nobody tells in what to do"I said with fake humor.

He looked pained for a minute but he was quick to school his features, his eyes landed on my desk where my hourglass was.

Shit I know I was forgetting something.

" What's that."

" It's nothing and none of your business so please leave, "I said again trying to shoo him out of the door as I had earlier done to chole and Christabel.

Where were they when I needed them to come in now?

"No, I won't leave, not like this after accusing me of something I know nothing about."

His hand landed on my waist then moved to my butt, why does he like doing that, not that I'm complaining.

My eyes move from his strong aristocratic nose to the high cheekbones and sharp angular jaw. The sharp contours of his face make it seems like it's carved from granite. His silky shiny black hair looks kind of rough but perfect like he had run his hands a million times through it.

His smooth flawless golden tan skin glows. He was beautiful like a god, and he knew it, I was sure girls in his pack worship him.

That reminds me I can swear I walked by a pretty lady who swells like him, or it could just be my imagination because this was his pack so his scents might be everywhere.

He lifts his chin finally as if challenging me to resist the mate bond. I don't want us to ignite our mate bond, if we do this it will be impossible for me to leave.

He used his left hand to brush my thick straight black hair to the side.

I tried to back away from him but I got trapped between him and a wall. His long arms cage me not to move. My heartbeat increase in anticipation.

He licked his lips as he approached me slowly.

How long was an arm?

His eyes are slowly drinking me in from the top of my head, lingering on my face, then on my chest, on my legs.

I move backward until my back is pressing hard against the wall. He stops only when his face is just a few inches away from mine. He's so tall, he towers over me. This close, he looks even more breathtakingly beautiful. His skin is flawless. Every feature is sharp like it's carved from granite, like a Greek god. The tips of his thick black eyelashes glint in the sun. His eyes are bright, gray, very gray.

The air sizzles between us. There's fierce possessiveness in the way he looks at me and I can't tear my eyes away even if my life depends on it. The sound of our heavy breathing is all I can hear

he growls before he dips his head and presses his lips to mine with great force.

We devoured each other mouths for a long time without a care in the world, even though we were werewolf we still needed air to breathe.

Our lips parted for a second before I felt his lips slam on mine for the second time tonight. His tongue plunged between my lips, tasting me, her tongue twined around mine. Sparks, tingles were everywhere around my body.

His hands gripped my hair tightly making me moan in pleasure, massaging the scrapes, my own hands grabbed a handful of it and crushed my mouth.

My body seems to stop functioning against his.

He lifted her head closer to mine making sure there wasn't a space between us and her soft pink lips meet my eager ones. They kiss again started slow and gently, lightly like we were tasting each other than more urgently and furious.

Each kiss sent different unknown emotions down my heart. I felt my downing by the hotness of his mouth. he tastes so familiar like I have had him before yet I couldn't place my heart on it. he tastes like vanilla and smells like strawberry which was very rare for a man to taste like, I was sure it was because he is my mate.

We devoured each other's mouths for a long time without a care in the world but as wolves again we need air to breathe. Our lips patted for some seconds, our eyes staring at each other making it all more intense and intimate.

I felt his lips slam back on mine for the third time again tonight. His tongue plunged between my lips, tasting me, asking for entrance which I accepted. His tongue twined around mine as we both fought for dominance, and he won letting out a possessive growl.

My hands drove into his hair, gently massaging, my own hands grabbed a handful of his soft black hair and crushed my mouth with his. My body seems to stop functioning as it melted against her hot and ready ones. I won this round of our kiss and smirk.

His lips left mine and move down my neck, slowly leaving some love bite on my body as I moans out in pleasure.

His hands currently gripping my hips and whose lips and nose are firmly buried in my neck have a different kind of scent. It's wild and it's something I'm not familiar with, mixed with the smell of expensive cologne. He smells rich...and oh, so very good. I can't resist burying my face into his soft silky black hair, taking a long deep drag of his addictive scent into my starved, deprived lungs.

The feel of his lips on my neck is sending bursts of electrical current to every cell and nerve ending in my body.

Oh no, don't do this to me Rain, don't start something we can't finish.

I place my hands on his broad solid shoulders and succumb to the urge to plaster the front of my body to his until there is no part of the front of our bodies that isn't touching and pressed together.

My whole body tingles from the contact and a deep rumbling animalistic sound comes out from deep within him. It is such a delicious sexy. The sound brings me out of the trance and cloudy haze of pleasure.

I place my hands flat on his solid hard chest and push him back.

"This is wrong Rain, we can't be doing this when we both know we will never end up together."

I hear him growl in protest. Growl! Oh, my god my pants were on fire.

"Stop, you can't seduce me because it's not working."

"Really."

"Yeah."

I push him harder and he opens his mouth to clamp into the curve of my neck in warning. The message is clear. He'll let me go when he is good and ready. His sharp, powerful canines are pressing on my skin. It doesn't hurt but there's a promise of pain if I continue to try to get away. This is such a show of ownership. A primal act of claiming and so very possessive.

This is not good. The worse part is? My body is loving it. A shock of electricity passes from his mouth on my skin to zap down straight to my core and I shudder and moan in pure ecstasy. I can feel the connection seeps right through my skin into my bloodstream. Never have I experienced such pleasure. My body is such a traitor.

"Don't you dare mark me, you bastard?"

After a while, he removes his jaw from my neck but his warm silky tongue laves my bruised skin. Tasting. Soothing. Almost as if apologizing for his earlier action. It's also as if he can't get enough of the taste of my skin. I have to fight the urge to moan aloud. Darn it, my traitorous body!

After a while, he drops a feather-light kiss on the spot and pulls back to look at me.

"Stop denying this and let your body enjoy my touch. Stop fighting Emerald you are mine."

My legs must still be weak because I almost fell on my butt as soon as he lets me go. He grabs my hips to steady me in an instance. His closeness is affecting my ability to think.

"No, I'm not, now leave."

I gulp audibly and drag in a shaky breath, trying to clear my foggy brain and calm my thundering heartbeat. It doesn't help that this gorgeous face is staring down at me with a speculative look in his eyes as if I was the most interesting thing he'd ever seen.

I clear my throat and say, "Listen rain, unless we both agree we will be equal then there will be no us. Never."

I said my voice sounds shaky, so I put my hands on my hips to show that I'm in control. I've got a feeling that we have to set some ground rules here.

One of his perfect eyebrows lifts in surprise.

"Us."

His mouth slowly curls up into an amused smile as he takes in my fighting stance.

"Listen here, I'm very serious with every word I say!" I try again with a firmer voice, ignoring his remark. Sure, he's gorgeous and can make me lose my mind with a single touch but I'm going to show him that I'm not one of his many admirers who fall so easily at his feet.

"Don't you dare put your hands on me without my consent again? When you are ready to be a good loving mate, you know where to find me. Now if you excuse me pretty boy I have a pack who needs me."I said to him picking up my bad and leaving the room like how a bad guy leaves after a bomb explosion.

Shit, we have initiated the bond with a kiss, oh fuck!!!
