Chapter 55
Chapter 55
This has to be her. This has
to be the witch.
She is quick, touching Ezra on the arm and disappearing with him. The whole room disappears and my eyes open. I sit up with a startle.
“Cass!” Colt shouts.
“I got him! I got him, Colt!”
“You killed him!?”
“No. He is not dead but I hurt
him badly and I saw her. I
saw the witch.”
Colt immediately hands me
the potion. “Take this now.”
Without arguing, I
immediately drink the
potion. It is bitter and I feel
like I want to throw up.
Once it is done, I feel
nothing happening but it’s
not like I felt the connection
that was still there before
anyway. The amulet worked exactly how Honora told me
it would, so I am sure the
potion does too.
I look at Colt unsure of what
to do next. “Now what?”
“Now…” He pauses, thinking
for a few seconds. “Now we
rest and wait till tomorrow to
see if there is any news?”
I nod. “I am really tired.”
“Let’s rest. You need it.”
We lie down but deep inside
I am scared. Scared that the
potion did not work and that
Ezra and this witch will
come after me again in my sleep.
Colt can see my hesitation.
He moves the hair from my
face and caresses my ch*ek.
“If there is anything amiss, I
will wake you up.”
“Okay.” I whisper.
I close my eyes and relax
while he caresses me. I wake
up in the morning feeling
rested and happy that nothing happened. After
telling everyone what happened, we waited for news and I resumed my daily training with Victor and my father. Two days pass and to my displeasure,
we receive news that Ezra is still alive but apparently badly wounded. Witchcraft
is truly scary. Even my
tongue still hurts but it is
healing.
Ready to take my lunch break after so much training, I head to the dining room.
“I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing you much lately.”
Oliver’s voice carries from
behind me.
I stop in my tracks and force a smile on my face before I
turn to him.
“I apologize. I have been
busy training.”
“No need to apologize. You
are a busy woman, nothing
wrong with that. That being said, all work and no play can’t be good for you.”
I force a small laugh. “Father is working me to the bone. Maybe I do need a bit of
fun.”
“Well then, would you have a private dinner with me this evening?”
Every part of my being
wants to say no but I force
myself to nod. “Of course.”
“Marvelous. I’m looking
forward to some one–on–one
time.”
I smile and nod striding
away and going inside.
“Some…one–on–one time?” I
have to abruptly stop when Colt stands in front of me.
“You…heard that…”
“Yes. I heard that.”
“You know it’s nothing.”
“To you it is nothing. To him…he has ideas, plans.”
“If he does have plans, they will not come to fruition
because I will not allow
them.”
I can see how tense he is and
how much anger is coursing through him.
“Serge, take a break.” I say
without looking back. He
knows exactly what that
means.
I pull Colt to the empty living room–next to
us–and once the doors are
closed, I latch on to him and
k*ss him but he doesn’t relax
just yet. Knowing that he needs just a bit more
convincing, my hand drifts
down and slides inside his
pants. He immediately
groans.
“Mhg…”
“It seems that you need
something to help you
relax.”
“I do?” He acts dumb but
looks very amused. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“Yep. Let me help you with that.” Unzipping his pants, I
kneel down and spring his
manhood out. It is already
hardening under the touch of my hand.
He puts a hand on my hair looking down at me.
“Mh…show me you are
mine.”
“With pleasure.” I say with a
smile.
I take my tongue out and slide it down from the tip to the shaft making him groan. Not once do I look away
from his stare.
I slider back up savoring that salty taste of his precum and then I pop the tip in my
mouth.
He hisses in pleasure. My hands go to work as well softly going up and down his rod while my mouth takes
care of the the head, sucking and sliding my tongue
around. It drives him crazy.
I start bobbing my head back and forth, taking him all in. His grip on my hair tightens and I can feel his hips trying to thrust but I hold him in
place.
He hisses and softly pushes
me away.
“Bend over.” He says pulling
me up.
Within seconds he bends me over the back of a sofa, pulls my pants down, and rams himself inside me.
I hold on to the sofa so that I
don’t go over. I position
myself in a way that I can tighten my core, clenching my insides and this causes Colt to start moaning louder
and faster.
“F***ck.” He whispers.
“Mh…”
It makes me smile knowing
that I can make him feel this
good.
His thrusting speeds up.
“Uh… I want to come.”
Usually, he can go on for a long period of time but this
time it hasn’t even been five
minutes.
“Do it.” I say.
“Are you sure? You
haven’t–Mh…”
“It’s okay. I’m sure.” I moan.
It feels good but I am
nowhere near about to come
and we can’t be too long.
Someone might walk in.
Picking up speed again, he holds my hips as he lunges
inside of me. Within a few
seconds, he shakes and gives a loud groan.
As he separates, I turn to him with a smile. “Feeling
better?”
He closes his eyes, smiles,
and shakes his head. “Such a
bad girl. You were buying my happiness.”
“And obviously it works. Men
are such simple creatures.”
His mouth opens. He looks flabbergasted and I laugh.
“You tricked me.”
“Oh please. Stop acting all
innocent.”
He laughs.
After fixing our clothes, he grabs me in a hug and k*sses
1. me. “That was really good by the way.”
“Glad you liked it.”
Men really are simple to
please. He seems to have
forgotten that he was upset
at all.
We head out going our
separate ways and I
immediately go to the bathroom to clean myself. After, I have lunch and
continue my training. In the
evening, after my training with Warrick, I get ready for
my dinner with Alpha
Oliver. He instructed me to
meet him out in the garden.
Before I can walk out, Colt
enters my room.
He sighs when he looks at
1. me.
I walk close to him and put my hand on his ch*ek.
“Baby, I am doing this for Warrick. Please don’t worry. I am all yours.”
“I know. I know this but…the
thought of him…just looking at you, wanting you, craving for you…it pisses me off.” He
says.
“I know. Maybe…maybe I
should just end it.”
“No. Just get through tonight.” He says. He k*sses my head and leaves.
Taking in a deep breath, I
walk out and head down the
hall deciding to go see James before I go to Oliver.
I have passed by my mother’s painting many times but have always been too hectic to stop. The only time I was able to really get a
good look at it was when
Poppy showed it to me. So
now, I stop.
She looks so happy. It is a genuine smile, that much I
can tell. I don’t know why she really left but I feel like she was happy here still. Giving the painting a smile, I go on my way to James’s
room where I find him now
watching a bit of TV. I am glad he is doing something more than just staring out of
the window.
He tells me that he just wants
to distract himself which I
fully encourage.
I leave him with a hug and head down to the garden.
There is a small table with
dinner being served for two. I smile at Oliver as he lays
eyes on me.
“Evening, you are looking
radiant.”
I honestly barely tried but I did put on a dress. I have nothing against him but it just feels wrong. It feels wrong to do this to Colt and it feels wrong to do this to
Oliver.
Removing those thoughts, I
sit and smile.
“Thank you.”
“I saw a painting of your
mother. You look just like
her.”
“Yes. I have been told many
times and I agree.”
“Mh, beauty runs in your family.”
I really hate small talk. It is
so awkward.
“Do you have any family
here?” I ask him
“Sadly, no. Most of my relatives are gone and the
rest live across the sea.”
“So you are all alone
here—not counting your
pack–that’s…sad.”
He smiles. “Don’t feel bad for
1. me. To me, my pack is my family.”
He is really a sweet man but is he really a good guy? I can easily believe that he is but still… something inside nags at me. His presence screams trustworthy but I am not
sure I can really trust him.
We continue our small talk
while we start to eat but I can
tell that he has something on
his mind and without
thinking it too much, he
asks.
May I…inquire into
something?
“Uhm…sure.”
“Who is this man that is
constantly with you?”
“What…man?”
He stares at me without
saying anything. Obviously, he knows I am just acting stupid.
“Uhm…well…Serge is my
bodyguard…Victor is my
brother-”
“None of those.”
“C–Colt…I…I have been
training with him.”
I don’t have to explain who Colt is because he already
knows who he is but he
doesn’t know who he is to
1. me.
“Oh, I see.”
He believes it and it feels
wrong to lie like this.
“No. I’m sorry. That’s a lie.”
He looks at me a bit
surprised.
“Colt is more than that. But
we can’t be together. My
father does not allow it.”
Obviously, I don’t tell him the complete truth but at
least it is some of it.
He falls silent but then nods.
“I see. It is understandable
why your father does not wish you to be with this
man. He is brother to the
man that has declared war
and also…wasn’t his brother your fated mate?”
I slowly nod.
“Mh…I agree with your
father. Not a good idea.”
Silently I stare at my food.
“There are better men out
there worthy of someone like you.” He puts a hand on
mine. “Give it a chance.”
I look down at our hands.
My eyes are captured by scars that come from under
the sleeves of his suit. I turn
my hand around, going over his hand and touching his
scars.
He doesn’t recoil, instead he
stares at the motion of my fingers.
“You did not have a good life either…did you?” I whisper.
There is a pause for a few
seconds. “My pack was taken over by another many years ago. And as I child, I was
beaten into submission.
Only recently I was able to escape and that is why I have
settled here.”
“I see…scars…we all have
scars that tell a story, our
struggles and what we
overcame. Battle scars…” I
whisper.
“I have seen yours.” He says.
I smile. “Mine are visible to
everyone. There are so
many.”
“I like that you don’t hide
them.”
“There is no need to hide
them. It shows how strong I
am and what I can
overcome. I don’t have an
ego but many have tried to
break me and failed. Even
my own father.”
He smiles. “Willfull.” He
seems intrigued by me but his eyes dart to our right where a sudden howl comes
from deep in the forest.
“Is that…one of us?” I ask
Oliver who looks very calm amidst my own panicking.
“A battle cry…they are here.”
