Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Alpha Emerald Black

Rain set me by the bed like he was a caring and loving mate.

I watch and admire the whole in appreciation but when he took off his t-shirt, I turned my head away.

"Don't get naked in front of me," I said. But apart from if I wished he would strip and give me a sexy lap dance, I felt my wolf purring at my thought.

"Don't act like you haven't seen me naked and you aren't enjoying seeing me naked. "he said as he smirk, I blushed not meeting his eyes.

"No I haven't properly seen you naked, it was the night I couldn't see anything other than feel your short dick touch," I replied lying, I don't want to make his ego bigger than it already was.

looking back at him. "And I am not enjoying what I'm seeing, I have seen better ."

He let out a low growl, then cocked his head to the side and inspected me. After sauntering over, he lifted my head, forcing me to look into his eyes.

His dick was long and huge, I’m not even sure when we mate it will be able to enter me and fit it.

"It will, he was made for you, his dick size was craved perfectly for us. "my wolf said.

"Shut your mouth you horny bitch."

"Trust me when my dick is buried deep down your pussy you will know how long it is when I destroy your womb. Most mates sleep together on the night they meet," he said. "Why are you so different?"

"Don't you dare try to make it out like I'm the different one in this, I have told you one, two, three, four five, six thousand times, unless we are equal then expect nothing to happen between us?"

He continued to inspect me, trailing his eyes down my cheeks to my lips.

"I would have sex with you tonight without a second thought. It's you resisting our connection. Why?" he asked, "How can you ignore your wolf?"

"I'm a virgin. I will not give myself to someone who wouldn't end up appreciating my body or me."

He smiled.

"I am well aware, sweetheart," he replied, "But that's not the reason you're holding back, is it?"

My eyes fell to the floor as he continued to hold me there.

"Are you scared of me? Is that why?"

"No."

Yes, I’m scared of giving myself to you even though my life is practically in your hands.

"So why do you struggle to look me in the eye?"

I realized I'd been looking anywhere but at him this entire time. He was right and that irritated me. So I shoved his hand off my face and shuffled to the other end of the bed.

"You don't have to pretend to be brave for me, Emerald," he said, walking into the bathroom, his voice sounding like he cares. I miss his hot possessive kisses.

I sat in bed deep in thought and after a few minutes, he returned.

"I ran you a bath."

I nodded.

My mate ran me a bath, it was supposed to be romantic but it left a bitter taste in my mouth.

What if they were some spiders in there.

I got up and headed straight for the bathroom, locking the door behind me. On the toilet seat were a neatly folded white fluffy towel and a large clean t-shirt. The water was a milky pink color with a dark red rose petals which joint with Rain's heavenly rich scent made for a divine smelling room.

As I dipped into the warm water, my aching limbs relaxed and the floral scent drifted up through my nose to my head, soothing my worries.

When I left the bathroom, dressed in the huge t-shirt, Rain was holding a pillow and a blanket.

"Are you still sleeping on the floor or...?"

I looked at the hard wooden floor and back to the bed. The softness and warmth were too hard to resist. The mate bond was pulling me to lie beside Rain, I wanted to resist badly but I was failing.

"The bed," I mumbled.

He smiled before throwing the extra pillow and blanket on the mattress.

Tension in the air heightened with every second before it shattered with Rain lunching forward, grabbing my shoulders and throwing me onto the bed, like a big bad wolf, which was a huge turn-on.

I wriggled and squirmed, but he was soon on top of me, grabbing my flailing arms and pinning them to the mattress.

"I thought you would have learned by now to not disobey me," He snarled.

"And I thought you would have learned by now I don't do what people say, especially if they don't ask nicely. We are equal so your stupid alpha voice doesn't work on me."

"Oh sweetheart, you seem to have forgotten who you are talking to," he spat, "I am in control here. You will obey me. Understand? Or hour pack members get it"

Already out of breath, I fought against his hold. I tried to free my hands from the tight grip he held on my wrists, but it was useless. He just sat straddling me, looking down in amusement as he held me effortlessly in place.

He waited until I gave up and threw my head on the mattress in frustration.

"Are you done?" he asked.

He brought his thumb to my lips and lifted my chin. My hair lay disheveled across my eyes until he swept it aside with the light touch of his fingertip. He kept touching me. My cheek, my hair, my neck. My heart pounded as I looked up into his eyes, unable to do anything.

"I do not tolerate disobedience," he said, "Do you understand?"

"Why should I obey you? Mates are supposed to be equal."

He laughed before he brought his mouth to my ear.

"Not when your mate is an Alpha king," he whispered as he released my arms to bring both of his hands to rest on my neck.

He dragged his hands across my shoulders where he trailed kisses up to my cheek. As I closed my eyes, both shivers of excitement and fear consuming me, his fingertips brushed over my breasts.

With that, I couldn't take it anymore. Before you could say 'stupid decision number three' I slapped him hard across the cheek. So hard the room filled with its echoes.

"Do not fucking touch me, I'm not mating with you ever," I growled as he froze.

His eyes slowly cast to me, his body shaking as every muscle in his shoulders and chest tensed.

"You are going to regret that," was all he said before he grabbed my hands, plucked me from the bed, and slammed my chest against the wall.

He pressed his body hard into mine, his crotch against my ass as he pulled my hands behind my back.

"If you ever dare try that again, there will be consequences," he growled, "Do you understand?"

I swallowed, wincing at the discomfort he was putting me in.

He grunted before pushing me harder against the wall, "I said do you understand."

"Yes."

With that, he let me go.

I shuffled away from him as he took a deep breath.

"I am not used to having to control my anger," he said, "You do not want to provoke me."

My wrists throbbed with a flush of red.

"You said you wouldn't hurt me."

"Well... let's keep it that way," he said, sitting on the bed, "Control your mouth, don't disrespect or disobey me and we won't have any issues."

I couldn't believe he would hurt me.

"Come," he said as he lay down, "You need rest."

I perched on the edge of the bed. He reached his hand up to play with a lock of my hair between his fingers, which only made my stomach tighten more.

My breathing was heavy. I tried to control it; I tried to hide my fear. But my lungs only begged for oxygen more until I had to gasp for air.

He just lay staring at the ceiling and playing with that same strand of hair.

He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me onto his chest. His bare skin was warm against my cheek and when he rested a gentle hand on my back, my shoulders relaxed.

I was tired of him, I only needed one excuse to reject his ass, and for the first time I had the best sleep in twenty-four years of my miserable life.
