Chapter 6 Six

Chapter 6

His eyes automatically darkened in anger, the cold grey turning black as night.

"And where have you learned such interesting rumor?" he asked calmly, but his eyes spoke in contrast of his tone.

"That's none of your business!" Sofia replied and turned her back on him. He immediately grabbed her arm.

"I know you're hiding a big secret and you were just about to slip. So tell me..." he ordered.

"Let me go!"

"Tell me," he demanded again, his voice harsh.

She faced him with clear animosity in her eyes. "You can't force me!" She glared at him. "Keep your filthy claws off me," she snapped, suddenly feeling an urge of irritation as she felt the tingling sensation again, causing her to back away from him.

The man quickly approached her and held her tightly by both shoulders, turning her to face him. She could clearly see his body trembling with anger. She knew. It's a very bad idea to anger the ruthless king of all werewolves. But he was confusing her emotions and mind, which was completely contrary to why she was there. He gripped her shoulders firmly, causing her to suddenly feel discomfort.

"Let me tell you this, Marianne. Just because you are the destined woman for me doesn't mean I'll let you continue to insult me," he said amidst stifled, low growls of frustration.

"Then do not expect any respect from me, stupid werewolf king. Just because I am destined for you and you are a king, I won't bow before you and worship you like a saint!"

Zafrix let out a powerful, angry growl and tightened his hold on her shoulders. "That mouth of yours is truly getting on my nerves. Let me teach you a lesson that will make you obey my words," he said harshly and pulled her towards him.

"Let go of me, you devil!" she yelled as he dragged her back to the living room and up the stairs.

Sofia's eyes widened when she realized where they were going. She struggled fiercely, trying to break free. She whipped around and ran back towards the staircase. She felt the trembling of the floorboards underneath her feet before she heard his heavy steps running after her, then she felt him yank her arm and swiftly fling her across his shoulders.

"Put me down!"

"This will teach you a lesson to know that it is smarter to obey me!"

Her breath was knocked out of her when he unceremoniously threw her onto his spacious king-size bed. Sofia had no time to get away as Zafrix quickly crawled towards her and loomed over her body. His touch was purely aggressive and punishing. She shrieked in surprise when he held her arms above her head and growled at her angrily.

"Keep still!" he ordered harshly, which she didn't obey and even tried to punch him.

Zafrix moved to claim her lips, but she avoided him, turning her face away. She kept thrashing and struggling away from him, moving her head to the side so he wouldn't be able to kiss her on the lips. Sofia didn't know what to expect once his lips touched her skin, but it was the raging burst of pleasure that began to erupt throughout her entire being and almost consumed her sanity. Zafrix again tried to claim her lips hungrily, as if he had been dying to do it for so long, but to no success. Sofia continued to evade him, so he focused on her mark instead.

Sofia lay frozen on that spacious bed at the wave of burning pleasure caused by his kisses on her mark. She could feel her knees trembling while she was being held tightly against his strong arms. The temperature in the room suddenly intensified. She desperately held back from giving in and letting out a moan that would signal her enjoyment of what he was doing. In an instant, her strength to fight the man she hated vanished like a bubble. But she still desperately fought the sensation that was slowly gathering to consume her sanity.

"L-Let go of me!"

She refused to let out a moan of anguished pleasure, as his left hand went under her shirt and caressed the side of her stomach so slowly, tauntingly.

Sofia clenched her teeth, refusing to open her mouth and release a moan, which caused Zafrix to growl angrily. He was determined to elicit a response from her. He playfully bit her mark, making her involuntarily gasp in surprise. He then squeezed her bottom, causing her to yelp loudly in surprise. His lips searched for hers, but she avoided him again, leading him to kiss her jaw instead.

He released her hands and ripped her shirt. She opened her eyes in shock, snapping back to reality. She wasn't wearing anything underneath that brown shirt!

"Stop!" she cried, frightened, and tried to cover her chest with her arms. Her eyes burned with tears, but she didn't let them fall.

For the first time, she felt real fear rapidly forming in her chest, and she looked into the man's pitch-black eyes. Zafrix leaned closer to her. Sofia flinched with fright and hugged herself tighter. His eyes were so dark with anger and lust that they looked monstrous and dangerous; she couldn't even let out a squeak of denial, she was even holding her breath out of fear.

"Now you can see who is in charge here. Just try to disrespect and insult me again. It is not really hard to make you surrender and see who has the upper hand," he growled and pulled away from her.

She looked up at him, her face red with embarrassment and fear. His eyes were black with anger and lust, looking at her as if he wanted to devour her whole, right there on the bed. He gave her a small smirk of satisfaction. She could read in his eyes what he wanted to do, but he chose to restrain himself.

Goosebumps appeared on her flushed skin as his burning gaze caressed her half-nudity. She could almost feel the warmth of his body again, and she hated herself for wanting his touch!

"It's so satisfying to see that you also can't resist me," he said coldly, enjoying the sight of her struggling with herself.

Her frightened look was quickly replaced by anger, but she didn't say anything. Sofia blinked back the tears. She didn't want a repeat of what had happened. Because even if it's so hard for her to admit the truth, this time, he is really the one who is in complete control of the situation. She blinked multiple times before her features turned aloof. It was then that she realized her hands were slightly trembling with fear. She tightened her embrace around herself. Her long red hair was all over the place, some strands sticking to the side of her sweaty face. Slowly, she took in many deep breaths to calm her raging nerves before she spoke.

"I... I w-want to be alone..." she said lowly, forcing her face to be void of any emotion, causing Zafrix to study her intently.

Her heart pounded harshly against her ribs when she saw him take his shirt off. She could not help but marvel at the mouth-watering perfection. She grabbed the blanket and hastily covered her upper body and avoided looking at the sinful temptation.

A moment later, he walked. She initially thought he would leave, but he only took a fresh change of clothes from the cabinet and put them on.

"As I have told you earlier, we are already alone in this house. No one can bother us, except if they want to have a death wish," he said and stepped forward towards the bed. She could not help but flinch away, causing him to smirk again in satisfaction. He was clearly reminding her that there was no one to ask for help, that he had the ability to do anything to her.

Her heart froze with cold hatred. Sofia remained unfazed when he again climbed onto the bed and continued to stare at the man. This time, she read the surprise in Zafrix's eyes before it quickly disappeared.

"I know that," she replied, forcing her voice to be calm. "But I really want to be alone." She made to get up from his bed to move away when he pulled her by the waist, drawing her close to his broad chest, which she had longed to touch. She wondered how it would feel against her palms. She shook her head; her thoughts were going in the wrong direction again.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"To... To the bathroom," she answered almost in a stutter.

"I wouldn't mind accompanying you," he said huskily and pulled her tightly against him. She could feel his hard muscles against her back. His lips softly touched her shoulder blades, causing her to shiver.

"L-Let me go," she said breathlessly.

"Why? I know you want this..." he growled softly, and his lips went behind her ear.

Sofia's hairs stood on end. Her body arched slightly as the electric sensation spread through her system once more, especially as their skin touched. Her hands began to tremble as she let him kiss the side of her neck, causing an unwanted shiver of pleasure to crawl down her spine. He cupped her face and moved it towards him and was about to claim her lips that she was willingly offering.
