Saving Kinsley

Dakota's P.O.V

"Absolutely fucking not Noah. Have you seen the state she's in right now? That's the last god damn thing she should be doing." My anger was spewing through the words to him. A fucking enforcer? Goddess, please grant me the patience to deal with this without losing my shit.

"She wouldn't be in that state if you hadn't forced her to shift and remain in wolf form for a fucking year! And to top it off you fucking kidnapped her. You know exactly how she was treated here before, but you bring her back for selfish reasons. I don't even know who you are anymore." Noah's gruff voice boomed. His anger towards me was clearly written over his face. Had I been a lower ranked wolf, I would cower to the man before me. But I'm not, I'm an Alpha.

I leveled him with a cold glare "It wasn't my choice to bring her here Noah, I was forced too. You think I want her here? She's always deserved better than this fucking hell hole. As for the shifting, I hated every minute of it. If it wasn't me, then it would be my Dad. We all know that would have turned out a million times worse."

Noah let out a sigh. "Look, just give her a chance. Were lucky she's even functioning normally after that. She needs a distraction, and she's a damn good fighter. She can handle her own battles."

"Yeah she broke Danielle's wrist the other day.. Fine, but if she's harmed I'll be coming for you." Noah nodded and no further words were shared between us when he left.

The sigh that left my lips held minimal emotions to what I was feeling. Inside I was being torn apart, I couldn't have my Mate. It was never safe for her to be my mate. My wolf was fighting me every step of the way. Everything I was doing was to keep her safe, even if it was against my wolf's instincts. My bestfriend couldn't stand the sight of me because he didn't have the whole story. All these years Noah thinks I rejected Kinsley simply because I wanted Danielle. The truth?

I wanted Kinsley like the air I needed. But I couldn't, My Father had motives to her being here. I had been forced to submit to the Alpha, my father. Forced to reject her, I couldn't fight his commands, at least not yet. The day would come where either I fought for position as Alpha or I'd ascend to rule on my 25th birthday. Either way, no command could over rule a challenge.

He knew every time she was beaten, it was all orchestrated by him after all. He couldn't have her being strong enough to fight back, he needed her to be submissive. So whatever his plan was, would fall in place.

Little did he know that My mate was by no means submissive. She is strong, and fucking ruthless. My beautiful mate.

Sure at one point I had feelings for Danielle, but it was no where near the moment I laid eyes on Kinsley for the first time. Goddess I wanted to go on a war path the first time I'd seen her. She was so Broken, but her eyes held so much hope.

I was suppose to save her from this life, instead I was the destructive object that brought her to her knees.

When I found out that he kept her from me for all those years, beating her almost to the brink of death, I wanted to die. I was the one that should have protected her from these fucking monsters. Instead I had been sleeping with One of her abusers.

After I found out what Danielle had done, I wanted to rip her heart out. But I had to play the long game to figure out my Dad's plans. Keep your friends close, But your enemies closer.

Since Kinsley returned, Danielle has been hell bent on making everyone think we were an item. She even convinced my Dad we were second chance fucking mates. The woman is truly fucking evil.

I had been forced to mark her, and I thank the moon Goddess for Kinsley's wolf enduring that pain and sheltering Kinsley from the agonizing pain. The mark didn't last since we weren't Mates, a blessing from Selene herself.

If my Mother's life wasn't on the line, I would have ended both Danielle and my own Father. But he had leverage over me.

Kinsley hates the sight of me, and honestly I do too. I should have been stronger for her. Fought for her. She deserves so much more.

To many times I came close to telling Kinsley everything, But would she ever believe me? She saw me as the villain in her story. Maybe I am. I could see it in those green eyes every time she looked at me, how much she hated me.

Titan, the name of the being inside of me, Fought me day in and day out for control to get to his mate. As the days passed, that control was getting harder and harder to grasp. I'd find myself searching for her, In every room. But I couldn't give myself that. It wasn't safe for any of us.

The longer I stayed away from her, the easier it was. At least that was what I've been trying to convince myself of.

A nock sounded from the other side of the door, nocking me from my thoughts.

"What" I growled out. My temper was worse these days, such a short fuse. My wolf was constantly on edge having his Mate in the next room and not being able to protect her from these vile monsters.

"I just wanted to let you know I'll be going shopping in the morning with the girls babe." Danielle's voice was like nails against chalkboard.

"I care why? Do me a favor and don't return." I sneered.

Her cold laugh filled the room "I'll always come home to you, love. Eventually you'll see I'm the best choice for you. Kinsley Is nothing but weak and pathetic, she could never lead."

Finally having enough, I stomped closer to her as she batted her eyes seductively at me. I pressed her closer into the wall, caging her between my body with my hands on each side of her disgusting form. "You'll never be her. She is so much more than you. If I ever hear you speak her name I'll rip your vocal cords from your throat and leave you on the floor to die like you deserve." My whisper never wavered with the menace laced in my tone.

For a moment I watched the fear light up in her eyes, but then it was gone just as quickly. "Mm, I love it when that dark side of yours comes out to play." Her voice was husky, filled with lust. I wanted to vomit from the way she looked at me.

"Get the fuck out Danielle." I yelled as I slammed my fist to the wall next to her. She moved quickly from the room then.

Goddess how was I going to survive this?
