Chapter 43
Chapter 43
Colt moves away from my
lips and stares down at me.
“This is how I want you. Trapped under me so that I can pleasure you all night long in any way I like.”
“Sounds perfect to me.” I whisper.
I feel like I am under his
control like this and I like it.
I did like it when I had all the
control, back when he was cuffed to the bed but I really
love it when he is the one in
charge much more.
He leans down and k*sses
me, drifting down to my n*ck where he lingers. I am
much more aware of his
touch now. Every time he k*sses me, my skin becomes hot and gives me shivers. My core and b*dy yearn for
him.
He lifts up and looks down to his crutch. He unzips his pants and lets his cock out,
resting on top of my clothed
core.
Colt smiles as he strokes
himself. “He’s happy to see
you.”
I laugh. “And I am happy to
see him too.
He smiles biting his bottom lip and starts to rub himself
against me.
My hand goes under his shirt and up his chest feeling
his muscles. His hand starts
to go inside my pants, then he reaches my core and starts rubbing. His touch
now feels more intense. I
close my eyes and get lost in the feeling. It was amazing
before but now it feels so
much more intense. I want
him. I want him completely.
“Colt…” I moan.
“Mh?”
“Please, take me already.”
He smiles with pleasure. “Hearing you begging like
this… it’s delicious.”
He lifts my shirt up and places his lips on my breasts.
He sucks and nibbles
relentlessly while making
me moan.
Unfortunately to my
frustration, we are suddenly
interrupted. Someone
knocks at the door and it
irritates me beyond belief.
“Ugh! Who is it?!” I shout.
A muffled voice comes from
behind the door. “Princess,
the Alpha has requested you both.”
“What why?!”
We just came from seeing
him. Why would he need us again?
“I do not know. He has asked
for you both and was very serious about it.”
“Now?!”
“Yes. Now. He wants you
both downstairs.”
Damn it!
Colt looks at me and gives
me one fast last k*ss before
he gets up from me.
“Uh! Just like that?” I ask him
with narrowed eyes.
He laughs. “Yeah. I am
content with the fact that
you want me so badly.”
“This sucks.” I complain and
roll my eyes.
“We’ll have time later.” He
says.
I sigh. “So optimistic.”
“Of course. I am just happy that we get to be together.
You are now my mate.”
That changes my mood and makes me smile. I get up, pat
my clothes down and we
head downstairs to Warrick’s
office.
When we get there all the generals are gathered around
including my brothers.
They all stare at three boxes on the desk. Two big ones and one small one.
“My condolences, your
father is dead.” That is the
first thing that comes out of
Warrick’s mouth.
“What?!” Colt is confused.
Warrick points to one of the
boxes. “Step closer but be
warned, it is gruesome and this was not my doing.”
We both get close and see a severed head. Alpha Harrie’s
head. Colt’s dad.
I gasp and cover my mouth
in disbelief. But then I
immediately turn my
attention to Colt.
His expression turns to
anguish. I pull him away from the box. His b*dy is
tense and he shakes. He
doesn’t move but he allows
me to hold him.
“What happened?” He asks.
His voice breaks but he holds
his tears.
“Your brother happened.
“My…Ezra?”
What?!
Warrick nods.
Colt’s hands turn into
shaking fists. I put my hands
over his from behind and
continue to hug him.
I feel so horrible and I wish I
could take this pain away
from him. I can even feel a
bit of it.
“Now… that’s your father but who is this? It is not your
mother because your
brother speaks of her in this letter.” He dangles an opened
letter in his hand.
Oh no…is it his sister?
“Ezra–or rather Alpha Ezra now- said that your mother
lies in a bed on death’s door
because of your
father’s…untimely death. Not
in such nice words of course.
He boasts of how he did the
killings. Your other brother was punished for interfering. I assume that is his eyes in
there.” He points to the smaller box. Then his eyes
fall to the second bigger
box.“But who is that?” He
points to it. I can only
assume there is another head
in there since it is just like the other big box.
Colt takes a deep breath with
his fist clenched and then
takes a step closer to the
other box. His eyes widen
and then he looks at me with
panic.
“Who is it?” I ask.
He shakes his head. “Don’t
look!” He immediately gets in front of me trying to move me back but because of his reaction, the urge to look inside that box grows. I go around him and look inside. Immediately…my heart breaks in ways that I never thought it could.
I put my hands on my mouth holding my scream but there was no point in that. The wale that comes
from inside my chest is heard by everyone. I fall to my knees and my world spins.
I feel his arms around me
but not even the love of my life can quench this pain.
Lauren, my dear sister, is dead. Her head, gifted to me in a box by the man who was
meant to be my mate. I
broke his ego…now he
breaks my heart.
“Who is it?” Warrick asks.
All I can do is cry now as
Colt holds me.
“Her…sister.” Colt responds.
“Sister? What do you mean?”
“The people who took Cass in, they died when she was young and Lauren was the only family she had growing up. They were sisters and loved each other as so… she
was also…pregnant.”
Hearing this all makes me scream. I lose it. I can’t think.
The pain inside of me takes
over and all I do is scream.
“Get the pack doctor.” I hear Warrick say.
For the next few minutes, all
you can hear is my wailing. I feel like I am drowning in
sorrow.
When the pack doctor
arrives, everything goes
numb and I am thrown into
sleeping darkness.
When I wake up again, I am in my room. It is the same as always but now it feels
empty.
I lay there staring at my ceiling trying to numb the pain inside of me. My chest feels like it has exploded. It feels so heavy as if I had a
fifty–pound weight resting
on my chest.
Tears stream down the side
of my eyes but I do not make
a sound.
I can feel Colt. I know he is
near me. I can feel his
presence. It comforts me but it is not enough.
“You are awake.” He
whispers.
I tilt my head in his direction
until he finally comes into
view next to me.
He puts a hand on my cheek, caressing while his forehead is pressed against mine and
he looks down into my eyes.
For a few seconds, we are
silent just staring into each
other.
“It hurts, Colt. It hurts so
much.” I whisper.
“I know…I know.” He
whispers back.
“I don’t want to feel
anymore. I hate it.”
“I’m sorry.” He says. “I am so
sorry.”
“I am sorry too. You lost your
father.”
He closes his eyes and nods.
I shut my eyes in anguish.
“This is not fair. We just wanted to be happy.”
“And we still deserve to be.”
He says.
“I know, but I am so angry, Colt. I am so f**king angry.”
Now the anger replaces the
sadness. But this is different.
This is pure rage. I
unwillingly start sobbing
again but I try to hold it in
taking sporadic deep
breaths.
He hugs me tighter but I softly push him away and get
- up.
“Cass?” Colt calls after me but
ignore him as I make my way out of the room.
He follows trying to get my attention but he sees that he
is not going to get it so he silently comes after me.
Every inch that I get closer to Warrick’s office, I am more
and more angry. I barge in
while he is at what looks to
be a meeting with everyone. The boxes are thankfully
gone.
I slam my hands on his desk.
“I want him dead! I want his
skin ripped off of his bones!”
I shout.
Pure rage comes out of me.
Warrick stares at me. One of
his eyebrows lifts and his eyes spark with amusement. “That is doable…if we can get
our hands on him first.
Luckily…he is declaring war on us. Demanding that we hand you and Colt over.”
“He is a spoiled brat playing Alpha.” One of the generals
says.
“Underestimating this
‘spoiled brat‘ could be a great
error.” Garret crosses his
arms deep in thought. “He is fueled by ego and he has
shown that he can be
unpredictable.”
“Then what do we do?” I ask.
“We wage war.” Warrick replies.
“War? Those little pokes you
have been giving for years?” I
bark out almost mocking
him.
“No. Real war.” He says. “I
want everyone early
morning in the war room
tomorrow.”
My teeth clench and he
notices. “It’s best to think
with a clear head. Rest. This
situation will still be the
same tomorrow.”
I know he is right. I give him
a nod in agreement.
Everyone in the room walks
out and so do we.
I zone in on Victor as he
passes by me. “Hey, Victor?”
“Victor stops and looks at
me.”
“Can we…practice?”
“Now?” He asks, surprised.
“Yes.”
He shakes his head. “No. It’s
best if you just go rest.”
“I can’t rest. I can’t! I need to
do something.”
“Then we should go for a
run.” Colt suggests from
behind me.
I look back at him and slowly
nod. “Yes. I think that will
work. I just need to not think
too much for a while.”
When I think, I feel and all I
feel now is pain.
Colt nods. “I know. I get it.
He rubs my back and we
start to walk outside. The light in the sky starts to mix with the blue of the night.
Darkness waits its turn to
come.
suddenly can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe she is gone. All I can see is the happiness she felt when she told me she was
pregnant. This breaks my heart.
And James… Is he even alive
and if he is, he must be in so
much agony.
Colt suddenly stops me and hugs me.
“I feel you. I feel your pain.” Colt suddenly whispers.
I cry in his arms but I do feel
his comfort. It makes the
pain much more bearable. I know he is in pain too and maybe this is why it hurts so much. I am feeling his pain
and mine and so is he. I also
rub his back trying to
comfort him. Even with our
mate bond not being
complete, we can still feel
each other like this.
When we both feel just a bit
of relief, we keep walking
towards the forest and after
taking our clothes off, we shift. We immediately take
in a run and spend the whole night out. It is just what we
need and distracts us for a bit but the pain doesn’t go away. I am sure nothing will make it disappear.
We come back and manage to sleep for a few hours before we eagerly head to the meeting.
“Hey…” I stop Colt before going into the war room.
“I am sorry I didn’t ask you
this before. I should have.
How are you feeling about all
of this? Ezra is your brother
So-”
“He is not my brother. “He says interrupting me. “Not anymore. I want him dead, Cass, he deserves it.”
I nod. “Then we are together
on this.”
“Yes. He needs to pay for
what he has done.”
“Then let’s make sure he
does.”
