Although, I couldn’t. He was human, and that meant that he was off limits to me. Dammit!
As time went on though, things started to happen. Rika was being duped by that asshat, that piece of shit, Clovio. Him and his friends were Jaegans. They weren’t using the name that they were born with, they were using fake names that were given to them when they moved to the states. And now they were trying to get closer to the King and Queen.
Clovio and his little friend Warrick were using Rika and Alyssa to do this.
And that day that I got the call that Rika had run away from school with this man, that had been a straw that I didn’t expect. It broke me though. I was so furious with her. I couldn’t believe the danger that she had put herself into. The other men that had surrounded them, while human, did not smell right at all. They were evil.
They were mean. And they wanted to hurt my Rika.
When I got her back home to the castle, after she had had her world turned upside down by the revelations from those men, I wanted to tell her what I was to her. She had been so hurt, so lost and broken. I wanted to be there to put her back together again. I wanted to tell her that she was mine and I was hers.
There was no reason to look anywhere else, and that I would hold her and make her feel better.
“Rika?” I called out to her as she sobbed alone on her bed.
“Westin? What are you doing here?” She had been crying so hard that she hadn’t known that I was there.
“I wanted to check on you. I was worried about you. Are you OK?” Just looking at the pain and heartbreak in her eyes had nearly broken me. It was so hard not to rush to her side.
“I..I’m fine.” She buried her face in her knee and tried to ignore me.
“You don’t look fine, Rika. You look heartbroken and destroyed. And I just want you to know that I am here for you if you need me.” I wanted to say more, to tell her all of it, but I just couldn’t. Not while she was feeling like this.
“You’re here for me?” She snapped at me. “For what? To ridicule me and my decisions? To make me feel like a worthless piece of shit that isn’t worth your time? To make me feel like every decision I have ever made was the wrong one? What exactly are you here for, Westin?
What is it you want from me? What do you want me to do?”
“I just want you to be happy, Rika! That’s all I want, dammit! Why are you like this? Why are you so blind to everything around you? Why can’t you see what is right in front of you?” I very nearly told her right then and there, at least I hinted at it.
“Like hell you want that.” She rose to her knees on the bed as she glared at me. I knew that she was angry, I just didn’t understand why. “You are always being mean to me. You are always acting like you can’t stand me. And now I am supposed to believe that you want me to be happy. That is bullshit.
You are probably happy that I got my heart broken. You’re probably happy that all of this happened to me.” It was at that moment that I realized that Rika had noticed that I had been acting different. And she had noticed how much more protective I was of her. She had misinterpreted it as me being mean, I had not been expecting that at all.
“I am not happy that you are upset, but I will not lie to you. I am happy that you are no longer with Clovio. I don’t want you to be with him. I don’t want you to be with anyone else.” Before I could tell her that I wanted her to be with me, that I needed her to be with me, she cut me off with another angry shout.
“You’re just like my parents. You want me to be a child forever. You’re treating me like a baby. You’re treating me like I meant for things to go wrong or something.”
“I am not.” I growled the words at her. “I am not happy about any of this, except that you are not with him anymore. That is the only thing that brings me joy. And Rika, the reason for that is I l-.”
“SHUT UP!” She snapped angrily and cut me off once more. “I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear anything else you have to say. Go away! Leave me alone! I don’t want to see you ever again.” I knew that she meant it.
She couldn’t feel the mate bond. She couldn’t tell that I was the one that she was meant to be with. At least, that was what I had thought it had meant. Now, I wasn’t so sure.
After that night, I spoke to Joaquin and told him that I was having issues with my mate. I told him that she was in love with someone else, which wasn’t really a lie. And I told him that I needed to get away for the time being. I was a feline, and not part of the actual pack. I would be able to leave if he allowed me to take a break from my duties. Thankfully, he had agreed.
It wasn’t until after the battle was over. It had come to a head not long after that night with Rika in her room. I didn’t see her again at all until I left. I couldn’t bring myself to do it. She had told me that she didn’t want to ever see me again after all, so I was going to make sure that I gave her what she wanted. At least for a year.
Or nearly that long. I would come back next year, when she should have had enough time to settle down.
My only truly horrible compensation in this whole thing, was that when I left, I was sent to Wales with Clovio of all people. It had taken everything in me not to kill that man the moment that I saw him. He didn’t deserve my Rika, or the pain that she had felt over him. I was going to truly enjoy making him suffer while we were there.
He would deserve all of that. He would deserve anything and everything that I could think to make him do while we were at the Alpha’s home for that pack. I wasn’t here as a punishment, not like him, so I wasn’t limited in the way that he was. That was going to be another upside as well. He was going to be my bitch, my dog, my grunt man that did anything that I told him to do.
I spent my entire first night there planning some of it out. That had been some of the first happiness that I had felt in a long time. Knowing that the man that had tried to steal my mate away from me was going to feel more miserable than I was. That would be the true ultimate win for me.
Training With My Enemy

Westin

My first official day in Wales, I was too angry to do much of anything. I just sat there, seething in rage about the fact that Clovio was here with me. He was the last person that I wanted to be forced to be anywhere near. If I had to spend any amount of my time with these Jaegan traitors, then I would have preferred Warrick, who had tried to get my Rika’s friend to fall for him.
At least he hadn’t dared to put his hands or lips on my mate.
Hahh. I couldn’t think like that. Rika wasn’t my mate. Not yet anyway. She hadn’t bonded with me yet, and no matter what I felt when I looked at her, thought about her, smelled her, or anything at all that had to do with her, it didn’t make a difference until Rika returned the sentiments. At the current moment, Rika was free to be with who she wanted.
Still, this didn’t mean that I couldn’t torture the hell out of the man. He had caused me pain, and now I was going to return it to him threefold, if not more. Oh, I wasn’t going to hurt him, not really, but he was going to wish that he had never met me or Rika by the time that I was done.
That first morning, while Clovio was getting his instructions from the others that lived in the Alpha’s home, I mostly just sat there and glared at them all. When Clovio did look at me, he usually looked away quickly, fear filling his eyes.
“Why is he looking at me like that?” He asked one of the men that was explaining his duties to him.
