“I’m sorry,” I apologized because I couldn’t read him. I didn’t know if he was angry or not.
“You tried to poison me, you k!ssed a man behind my back and you cannot defend yourself against a fellow female.” He listed my faults. Shame burned me from the inside, making my skin red.
“I should punish you.” I nodded as I always did when he spoke about my punishment but he didn’t say anything after that. I wanted to get the punishment over with as soon as possible.
“I will accept any punishment you deem fit.”
“You’re my mate. You’re supposed to accept anything I deem fit.” I blinked at him before nodding.
I reminded myself that the alpha prince was from a time before my father even. He thought of things and saw the world different from me. In his time, females were nothing but accessories. They supported their mates while looking pretty and shouldering all the house chores and bearing children.
After Lucien, I didn’t think I would have a mate but before Lucien, I expected love and security. Friendship. Companionship but now I expected nothing. I’d learnt that if I expected anything, I got nothing so there was no point in expecting in the first place.
“You said you wanted me to stand up for myself.”
“Not against me. But then it’s not something you can do, is it?” He sounded displeased and my wolf whined at disappointing him.
“I can try.”
“Not after the beating you’ve taken today.”
“Skylar hates me,” I told him. I didn’t know why but I wanted him to see me differently. Actually, I did know why. It was because we were mates so even if he wasn’t treating me any differently from others, I wanted him to. I’d learnt not to care about how the others treated me so I would learn to do the same with him.
“I know.”
“Do you know why?” I felt ashamed of my father and what he’d done. I didn’t want my mate discovering it so soon.
“It doesn’t matter. She hates you so she wouldn’t go easy on you. You will keep training with her until you are able to beat her.” My heart fell.
I expected that but I hoped against it.
“Okay.”
“You know not to argue. Good. Now, for your punishment, come here.”
“K!ss me.” The command washed over me like a tide.
I expected him to tell me to kneel or get out or for him to scold me but not that. My legs froze to the ground while my cheeks turned crimson. His words embarrassed me but when I dared to look at him, he looked nothing but serious.
“I – Alpha -” I swallowed down bile caused by nervousness.
“K!ss me. I’m sure you know how to do that.” My skin felt too hot for my body, as if I was burning from the inside.
“I -” I’d never initiated a k!ss in my life. In fact, I’d only ever k!ssed Lucien and I didn’t think he would want to know that.
“You must have k!ssed someone before, am I right?” When I looked into his eyes, I had no choice but to nod because there was no point lying to him. He already knew about Lucien and I and he hated lies.
Admitting turned out to be a grave mistake.
He grabbed my nape with strong hands and hauled me to his chest in one move with his dead eyes alive with anger. The white around his eyes turned red and his l!ps pulled back in a snarl.
“I will kill that bastard. Every single man that has put his hand on you or around you will taste my wrath. I will slaughter all of them!” I shivered at the force of his words. He would kill every one of them without a backward glance or a lick of remorse. The alpha’s word was law and he would do whatever he wanted without any repercussion or anyone holding him accountable. If he wanted, he would do it.
“Y – yes, alpha.” I agreed without question because I didn’t want his wolf to get angrier than it already was.
He k!ssed me as soon as I agreed, his l!ps domineering mine once they came down. He had full soft l!ps, l!ps that were always set in hard lines but they were soft against mine as he k!ssed me, pulling me closer to himself by my neck.
I gasped as he sucked harshly against my l!ps, a sharp sting making me wince. He took the opportunity to push his tongue into my mouth, dominating me further.
“You’re not allowed to do this with anyone else.” He growled into my mouth, his hand moving into my hair to pull at it. I g*****d, nodding as my senses started to desert me.
“I’d kill them. That’s a promise.”
“Y – yes, alpha.” My words were muffled as he k!ssed my throat. I cried out when he stopped abruptly, raising his head I saw his eyes heavy with lvst but he blinked once and they were cold once again.
“When it is the two of us, you will call me by my given name,” he declared. I nodded again. “Use your words around me. Your voice calms my beast.”
“Yes Al – V – Valens.”
“You are obedient. That is good but you should defer to no one else but me.”
“Y – yes.”
