Chapter 5 Deimos

"No, you don't." I flipped. Her words had cut deeply and I chose the asshole's way out.

If I had to tie her down to my bed to keep her, I would.

"You may be weak, but you are still my mate. You are stuck with me, so get used to it." I snapped and got up to leave.

"I am not weak, you monster!" She yelled at me before I could take a few steps out.

"I may be very unlucky in this life, but to be mated to you is a pure curse. I'm certain the goddess loathes me for no cause." Her voice cracked at the end.

Hot searing pain struck me from my chest to my feet. My body went numb. Diego howled in pain and Draco tried to force a shift. I blocked them.

"Well, it seems we both have the same luck then." I retorted and turned to face her. "You, my little one, however, are mine and the earlier you get used to it, the easier this can be."

"I don't belong to anyone, and especially not to you! How could you claim to be my mate and shove your filthy dick into another woman?" She whispered the latter part, as if afraid of admitting what she saw.

All the anger and hurt I felt earlier melted into regret. I messed up and I didn't know how to fix it.

"Huh?? Right in the same fucking house and the same fucking floor!" She yelled as she broke out into sobs.

My heart clenched painfully and my head ached at the turmoil and pain I felt. Seeing her in pain, affected me way worse than anything ever had.

I had to restrain the urge to coop her in my arms and kiss her to show her how I felt.

"Because I didn't want to hurt you." I shamefully admitted.

"Hah! Really??! Because you sure as hell hurt me beyond what you can imagine! What did you expect?? That I would give you a round of applause for fucking a whore right under my nose??!!" She got off the bed and strutted over to me.

"And then what?? Huh, just accept you as my mate??!! Is that how the mate bond works? I may have lived outside the real world all my life but I'm so damn sure that the mate bond is as sacred as they say!" She ranted in anger, jabbing her fingers at my chest.

I sighed in frustration, unable to leave the room because Draco and Diego wouldn't let me.

The emotional battle was too much for me to handle. War and blood, I could handle, easily. But this? This, I couldn't.

I tried to apologise again. "Urah, I-"

"No, no Keturah. It's Kat, and you best believe that you are going to have to work hard for us to forgive you, if ever. You disappoint me, and to think this is our first meeting. I was rooting for you, dickhead!" Kat said, her amber eyes glowing while she jabbed her fingers on my stone-walled chest.

Kat gasped as I pinned her against the wall in a second.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, stubborn little girl. Let me talk to Urah." Diego's husky voice whispered beside her ear.

She shivered and shook her head, "No can do, you asshole!"

"Now." He growled slowly and licked the base of her ear. I moved my hands from her waist to hold her neck in a firm grip.

Kat moaned slightly at the soft burning touch, before catching herself and gritting her teeth.

He licked lower towards the sweet pulsing point of her delicate neck and nipped. The scent of her arousal filled the room immediately. We both grunted our satisfaction as he continued to lick over the sweet spot.

When we finally felt Urah's presence instead of Kat's, he receded back into my mind.

Urah moaned loudly, her eyes widening in realisation as she felt the heat and moisture pulling in between her legs. Kat had somehow thrown her out and handed over control to her in the heat of the moment.

At least I wasn't the only one bullied by his wolf.

She tried to push me away but I tightened my grip on her neck. It was not too much to hurt her and not too loose either.

My other hands roamed the sides of her breasts tauntingly and my tongue continued to massage that sweet spot of her neck, leaving a deliberate dark spot on her fair skin.

My member strained tightly against my slacks and I adjusted our position to grind into her.

I savoured the taste of her skin and enjoyed the sweet sounds coming from her lips. It was all way better than I could have ever imagined.

Her moans got louder and uncontrolled and I smiled, kissing her ears and pulling back enough to face her.

I was already addicted to the taste of her lips and the scent of her arousal.

I sighed and inhaled a handful of her calming scent; cherries and rainforest.

She looked down in an attempt to hide her flushed face and to calm her heavy breathing.

She momentarily forgot to be angry and leaned on my chest when I took a step closer to her.

A surge of happiness and satiety filled me, and I knew then that I would do anything to keep her as mine.

"Stay, please. Let me make it up to you." I kissed her head as I wrapped my arms around her and stroked her hair gently.

"Give us a chance, little one. My wolf, beast and I, we all want you. We will cherish and protect you, I promise you that." I murmured softly, afraid to break the magical moment.

"Mmnn, I want to, but I'm afraid. Bad things happen to me. I don't know what will happen if I try to be happy with you. I don't know how I'm even alive and here now, it could mean it's going to get worse, right?" She rattled anxiously.

"I-,"

I tightened my arms around her reassuringly, "trust me, little one. No one will hurt you here, I will protect you. Come on, let's get you fed. You haven't eaten anything since you woke up."

She took a step and squealed when I carried her suddenly. I carried her in my arms and went downstairs to the dining hall.

A few warriors and she-wolves were already seated, having their lunch. I sat down at the head of the table with my mate in my lap.

She started to fidget. "Are you alright, little mate?"

She whispered, "I want to sit by myself, please." She flushed a deep shade of red as she felt all eyes staring curiously at her.

I helped her up and she quickly sat on the chair next to me. I resisted the urge to laugh.

Marie came in from the kitchen right then. Two young she-wolves followed her with large trays and set them before us.

Marie cast a wary look at my mate's flushed face and glanced curiously at me before heading back to the kitchen.

I started eating for a while before pausing abruptly, turning my attention to Urah, who was not eating.

"Is the meal not to your liking? Is there any specific dish you want?" I asked her, signalling one of the serving wolves to come over.

I was worried about her health and noted to myself to take her to the pack doctor after dinner.

"No, It's alright. It's just, I-" "Is that Alpha's new whore?" a loud whisper cut her off abruptly.
