Chapter 11
Colt nuzzles my nose
slightly.
“He should know better than to mistreat his goddess–given mate. What he is doing to you, is unforgivable.” He says in a soft voice.
“C–Colt.”
“Yeah?” He whispers. His warm breath tickles my lips.
I just called his name
because I was nervous and
now I don’t know what to
say. But it did stall him just a
bit.
“What–what are you doing?”
I ask him.
He smiles. A real smile. I
haven’t seen him really
smile. “Kissing you.” He whispers.
He knows that is not what I
meant but before I can say anything else to distract him, his lips touch mine and I lose all my senses. All I can think about is how soft and warm
his lips are. They feel
amazing on mine. I
completely give in. I can’t
fight it. I don’t want to fight
- it.
His body crashes on me. It is warm and encompasses my whole smaller body. I feel him completely. I have never felt a man’s body like this. Warm, firm, and soft at the
same time. His hand caresses
my shoulder and slides
down until it cups my bare breast. All manner of
feelings rise inside of me and my body starts to burn. His lips start to travel to my neck and the kisses stun me. It
feels so good that I don’t
want to move because I don’t
want the kisses to end.
His hands then start
traveling down. He caresses
my waist and it is fire. My
insides turn to mush and I
feel wetness between my legs. His hands now keep going down and when I
realize what he is about to do, I snap out of it.
I close my legs and slightly push his shoulder away.
“Stop.” I whisper.
He backs up and looks at me.
I shake my head. “No more.”
He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and nods.
I sit up while he backs away and I quickly cover myself.
“I already saw everything.”
He gives me a cheeky smile.
“Shut up.” I say shyly.
I can’t even look at him in
the eyes.
I glance at him and he stares. Doesn’t say a thing.
“Why do you do that?”
“Do what?”
“Just…stare at me.”
“Isn’t that something people
do when they enjoy what
they see?” He looks me up
and down again.
“Colt…what happened to
you?” I ask ignoring what he just said.
“Hmh?” He asks.
“What happened to you? You…you’ve changed. And don’t you have a mate? What happened to Skye…did she
not…” I don’t want to finish
that sentence. I don’t want to
hurt him.
“I don’t have a mate
anymore.” He says.
This makes me sad for him.
“I’m sorry.”
He puts a hand up telling me
that he doesn’t want to talk
about it.
I nod. “We don’t have to talk
about that but you do have
to tell me, why did you wait so long to tell your father
that you were alive? We were in the cells for a few days and you were tortured. Why wait?”
He sighs and nods. “I didn’t
know where I was until I
learned your name…look, I will tell you everything. But
not now. It’s not the place
and time.” He gets up and holds his hand out for me.
It takes me a few seconds of
staring at it but I take it and he pulls me up only to be pulled in close to him. He grabs my chin and lifts it up
while his other hand holds
me in a hug.
“I’ll be gentle now and
patient but, you’ll be mine.
He softly says and then kisses
- me.
It is quick but he leaves me with my head spinning.
“Go back home. Don’t stay
out here too long.” He says
leaving me in a stupified
state.
I am shocked at how he can
just kiss me in that way and say something like that. That
I’ll be his? He has to be
joking, right? I am sure this guy is going to be the Alpha of this pack. Why would he ever want…no, he doesn’t want me like that. He just wants my body. That’s it. He
wants to use me and when he is done with me, he will
just throw me away.
How am I supposed to think
differently when this is all I have known from this pack?
I am so stupid because, for a few seconds there, I really
thought he was being
genuine.
Dumb idiot!
I hate that I let him touch
me like that. My eyes widen
and I gasp remembering something.
“Oh, Shit! Ezra! He must
have felt that!” I start
running back home but then
suddenly stop. “What am I
doing? Why should I even
care? He has done worse so,
why should I be concerned? In fact…good. Now he gets a taste of his own medicine.”
Taking my time now, I stride my way back home with a
smile.
That night I slept well but I woke up a few times with dreams of Colt kissing me. I felt stupid.
Lauren and I start our day
and head to the fields behind
the pack house to begin our
work.
“You stayed up late last
night.” Lauren says.
“Yeah, it’s cause Niles
is-well…not bothering me
anymore.”
She smiles. “I am glad that
you
don’t have to feel like
you need to watch your back
anymore. At least not from
him.”
I also smile and nod.
“Also, it’s good you didn’t come home early ‘cause I was horny! And James really let me have it!”
“Eww! What is wrong with
you?! You don’t have to tell
me these things!”
She starts laughing.
“It’s not funny. Keep it to
yourself self you perverted
woman!”
She laughs so loud that even birds get startled and fly away from the trees.
“I need to talk to you!” Ezra suddenly comes out of the house enraged.
Lauren looks at me scared
but I smile and nod at her to go ahead.
“Are you sure?” She mouths
out and I nod again.
“What the hell did you do!?”
He points at my face once he
is close.
“Oh, you didn’t like the taste of your own medicine?”
His eyes flare. “Who? Who
the hell was it?”
“Did you cry?” I ask him.
“What?”
“Did you teared up when
you felt it?”
“NO!” He shouts.
“It hurt though.” I try not to
smile but it is really hard.
His jaw clenches and he
grinds his teeth.
“Gosh, I remember the first
time I felt it. I almost felt like
I would die. Not anymore though. I am too used to it. Sucks for you though…cause you are not used to it at all.”
The first time I felt like I was
dying and I wished it at the
moment. I am sure it was the
same for him. And to think
that this was just a kiss.
“You are telling me right now
who it was?!” He says.
“Am I?”
“YES!” He shouts.
I look around at the people walking around us. “Be careful now. If you scream
too loud, people might start
talking.”
ו
He snarls. “Do you really believe that anyone would think that you and I are mates?” He smirks. “They’d
sooner believe that I am
mated to the damn old cook
than your sorry ass. No one
wants you and I sure as hell
don’t either.”
I smile. “Well, someone
clearly does want me.”
His face changes from a
smug expression to one of a
crazed person.
I’ve never felt this kind of
power before. It feels like I
have complete power over him…and I like it.
As I smile, I glance at the house and see Colt staring out the window. He has a cup
of what I assume is coffee
and sips on it watching me
and Ezra.
I choke under his gaze.
“Gotta get to work. Bye!” I
turn round without a second
thought and almost run back
to the fields leaving Ezra
with his anger.
“What was that about?”
Lauren asks.
I smile. “Nothing. Don’t
worry.”
“Oh, I worry alright. Cass, you are not an angel. I know that most of the time you get in trouble is not really your fault but you have a temper, sweety. And that gets you in
trouble all the time.”
“It’s okay, Lauren. I promise I am fine.”
Humming, I start watering the fields and gardens of
vegetables. I don’t think I
have ever felt this content
before.
Not even thirty minutes in,
Lauren and I are
interrupted.
“Cass?”
I turn to see Molly. One of the stuck–up Gamma girls.
She stares at me almost like
she has a bad taste in her
mouth after saying my
name.
“Yeah?” I ask.
“The Alpha wants to see
you.”
“EH! Me?!”
“Yes.” She says and walks
away.
“Shit…”
“G–Go!” Lauren says.
“But-”
“Just go! It’s the Alpha.”
Lauren says.
I nod and quickly follow the
girl.
What the hell did I do now?
She goes up the stairs that
lead to the kitchen and then
she strides inside and heads
to the dining room. Many stare at me as I walk past the table and follow Molly.
I have been inside the pack house many times but only a handful of times past the dining room.
This place is decorated in a fancy way. I have no other way of describing it because I am not a fancy person and
I have no taste in these
things whatsoever.
Molly continues down a hall and then stops in front of a door that leads to the Alpha’s
office where she knocks.
“Come in.” The Alpha says.
She walks in and there are a
few other Omega workers in
here as well which confuses
- me. The Alph stands behind his desk and Colt stands next
to him. I immediately feel his eyes on me but for the
life of me, I will not look at
him.
“Perfect. Take a seat.” The
Alpha says to me.
I am a bit scared here. I have
never been treated like this
in here. I have only been
here a handful of times
before for punishment.
I do as he says and sit.
“As I was saying. We want to try something different. My son here believes that
everyone should have a
choice when it comes to the
work they wish to do.
“This is all Colt’s idea and I
have to be honest, I don’t
agree with these methods
but-” He stops talking and
looks at us. “He wants to
integrate the Omegas with some of the work that the
Gammas do. You will all be
working in the pack house
from now on and we will see
how this turns out.”
Damn it. Why? Why all of a sudden they are shaking things up? And why me?
This is bad for me. I am SO going to get in trouble. Uh! And does this mean that I
will have to see Ezra more?
My eyes accidentally go to
Colt and that was a bad idea. My thoughts go back to last night as he intently stares at
me.
Shit. I will also have to see
him too.
“Molly here will assign you to your new roles. Please
follow her.”
The girl Molly turns and walks out. She clearly hates this job.
I sigh and follow her along
with the rest.
