Chapter Thirty-Three*
Lucian
A smirk slides on my face as my little spitfire continues to rant about other witches teaching me magic.
“I just don’t see why you would consult others for help with your magic when it is my magic you’ve stolen!” She stomps her foot into the ground.
I can only be thankful that she hasn’t pushed for the firestone.
“I didn’t exactly consult them, I only asked for them to help me find a beginners spell book.” I chuckle. “Also, I didn’t steal your magic. We share it because we are one, just like we share my strength.”
Arabella stops her pacing to turn and glare at me.
I find her jealousy exhilarating. Even though she has yet to admit her feelings for me her reaction to this lets me know that they exist.
Instead of basking in her jealousy, I should soothe her. I know she isn’t above attacking those that she sees as a threat.
“I only did what I did because I wanted to impress you.” I attempt to console her. “I wanted you to see that I am taking witchcraft seriously.”
She scoffs and rolls her eyes. “I don’t even see why you need magic. Aren’t alphas always bragging about how strong they are.”
I stand from the bed, cautiously walking to her. “I want to learn magic, so I can protect what is important to me. The pack lands, our pack. You.”
She looks up at me through her lashes. “I don’t need you to protect me.”
“I know that.” I gently caress her face. “Just because you can protect yourself doesn’t mean that I don’t want to. You shouldn’t have to waste any of your time or magic on those who wish you harm.”
She nods. “I still don’t see why you need magic. You’re powerful enough.”
I let out a sigh. “The attacks are still happening.”
Her eyes widen.
“They haven’t been as bad as the first one, we have some precautions set into place.” I reassure her. “We have been able to take prisoners, and no children have been harmed since we have started taking precautions.”
She lets out a breath of relief.
She cares about the pups.
It’s reassuring to know that even though there is a chance that she may one day attempt to claim revenge against me, she would keep the pups out of it.
I can’t say the same for the witches that practice the same kind of magic that she does.
She nods her head. “Well if you want to learn how to keep your pack safe illusion spells are t gonna cut it.” She glared at the spell book sitting on the nightstand. “You’re going to have to push yourself to do a little more advanced magic.” She closes her eyes and holds her hand out.
I stare amazed as a book appears in her hand.
A slow smirk slides on her face. “This is the book that you need.” She hands the book to me. “This has all the spells you would ever need when defeating an enemy. Boundary spells, disabling spells. You name it? This book has it.”
“I knew you weren’t lying when you said that you were an amazing witch, but that was just impressive.”
“You will probably never reach my level, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t be good at what you desire to learn. Now, I think the best way to learn is to read it, and then try it out.” She slowly opens the door before exiting my room.
I smile as I begin to follow her, closing the door behind her.
She turns around when she hears the door click. “I may not be the worlds best teacher, but I think that I can help you learn what you want.”
There’s a certain twinkle in her eyes that makes me excited for whatever she is about to teach me.
She hums softly. “I think that I like you best chained up.” She lets out a giggle.
I smile at her. “Alright, Arabella. That’s enough. Release me.”
She slowly rolls her eyes. “See I told you to always be on guard. Magic can be used against you at any moment. Do you really think that your enemies are going to release you simply because you demand it?” She giggles.
I tug on the chains, as her laughs fill up the room. She has my wrists chained to the headboard of the bed, using her magic to keep me in place.
“You simply can’t escape from them.” She shrugs. “Maybe you shouldn’t have had them laying around the room.” She slowly climbs on the bed, glowing with victory. Her towel slowly slides off her body, as she smiles at me seductively.
I let out a small chuckle before relaxing my head against the headboard. “They weren’t laying around, Bella. I had them hidden.”
“Semantics.” She waves her hand, before placing it on my chest. “It doesn’t change the fact that I once again have caught you.”
She slowly glides her hand from my chest to my throat. “I am the predator, and you are my prey.” She repeats the words she once taunted me with.
“Yes, you have exerted your authority over me.” I concede. “Will you please release me from these chains?” I ask.
“I think that I am better off leaving you chained up.” She whispers. “I can escape, and not worry about you attempting to stop me.” She squeezes her hand around my throat. She leans down and hovers her lips over mine. “I can basically do whatever I want.”
I feel my blood run hot at her words. I have never found her more attractive than this very moment.
“What is it that you want to do, Bella?” I ask.
Her grip on my throat tightens before she slowly brushes her lips against mine.
She pulls away slightly, a soft grin gracing her lips.
We smile at one another for a moment before he lips come crash down on mine once again. I continue to let her be in control, it’s exactly what she needs in this moment. I don’t know exactly what transpired while she had left, but she is still attempting to fight our connection. I thought time apart would be good for us, but now I see that our time apart gave her to chance to overthink.
I will have to let her come to terms with her feelings on her own. That doesn’t mean that won’t attempt to persuade her.
I smile into the kiss as her grip on my throat tightens.
I know it’s her jealousy that is driving these territorial actions.
I can only pray to the moon goddess that my submission will sate her need to punish the witches she sees as her competition.
She pulls away from the kiss, still beaming from the fact that she once again has me in chains.
She hums as she throws one of legs across my body, pining down my hips. “I should tape your mouth closed.” She says softly as she traces my lips with her finger. “So I don’t have to hear anything that you have to say.”
“Then how will you kiss me?” I ask with a chuckle.
she huffs, rolling her eyes before smiling at me. “That would be a really big con wouldn’t it?” She asks.
I don’t respond, instead I lick the pad of her thumb before placing a small kiss on it.
I feel the chains tighten around my wrist, no doubt she is doing it purposefully to make me uncomfortable. The smirk on her face confirms it.
“How does it feel? To be a powerful alpha and being held down by a simple spell?” She asks before grinding our bodies together. “You must feel pathetic.”
I let out a groan as I fight to keep still. She has my wrists chained, but there isn’t anything to hold down my lower half. One sudden movement from me and she could end up hurt, I will not allow that to happen.
She hums, her hand cupping my face. “Weak.” She laughs out.
“Stop using your magic on these chains so I can show you how weak I am.” I suggest.
She throws her head back and laughs out loud. “Are you too weak to even try?” She asks before lifting her body up, and tugging on my boxers.
I bite my lip to keep from smiling as I comply, raising my hips so she can slide them off my body.
I growl out loud, fighting my wolf for control as she strokes the underside of my cock.
"Hmm your wolf wants to come out and play." She giggles as she grabs onto my cock firmly, hovering over it. "I do have to say I would love for you to use your full strength to get out of these chains."
"Three times wasn't enough? You need a fourth time today?" I hissed out.
She glares at me. "I will have you as many times as I want."
She didn't give me a chance to respond, sinking down onto my cock until it completely disappeared inside of her body.
She lets out a pleased hum as she closes her eyes and throws her head back. I am too focused on fighting my wolf that I cannot indulge the pleasurable sensations running through my body.
My wolf knows that she needs this, she needs to be in control. Yet, seeing her like this in control only pushes my wolf's need to dominate her.
She places her palms down firmly on my abdomen, getting comfortable before slowly lifting herself up, and slamming back down on my cock.
She found a pace that she liked fairly quickly, her sweet needy moans that exited her mouth were the only thing that prevented my wolf from completely taking over my body.
Her movements begin to slow as her orgasm nears. She bites her lip nervously as she no longer fills herself completely with my cock, avoiding her g-spot. She doesn't want this to end.
I smirk before planting my feet on the bed, and concentrated on snapping my hips up to meet hers.
Her eyes widened as she let out a loud gasp at my movements. she presses her hands down firmly on my abdomen to keep herself steady.
Her walls tighten around me, letting me know that her orgasm is close. Her eyes roll as she lets out a whimper, falling apart on my cock.
I take a deep breath and close my eyes, waiting to be released from the chains.
I hear her snicker before I feel a sharp object slice through the skin on my shoulder.
I open my eyes as I feel her thumb swipe through some of my blood. She slowly brings it to her mouth, keeping eye contact with me as she licks it off her finger.
I let out a chuckle. "I am glad to see that you aren't fighting the blood lust."
She glares at me before intentionally squeezing her walls around my still hard cock.
I ball my fists up in the chains and let out a choked groan at her movements. Fighting the urge to spill inside of her warmth.
Her walls continue to flutter around me, attempting to coax me to lose control. "I don't need your help." She stated before slowly lifting herself up become coming back down. "I can get myself off without you."
I don't argue and tell her that she isn't exactly doing this by herself, if she wants sole credit for her pleasure then I will let her have it.
She pulled all the way up off of my cock before slamming down, causing me to let out a snarl as carnal pleasure shoots through my body.
She rolls her hips as her second orgasm hits, her mouth forming an o before biting her bottom lip.
"Release me and let me help you reach a third?" I ask her.
I feel the magic in the chains slowly start to weaken, but I notice a different magic slowly starting to roll off of her in waves.
"I think that I have just shown you that I don't need you." She smirks.
She takes the same knife that she cut through my skin with a few moments ago and drags the blade across the palm of her hand. "You know, I have always drank your blood, but you never once drank any of mine."
My eyes narrow in on the small amount of blood that pools in her palm. "That is because you never offered." I feel my chest start to constrict, this magic is different than any other than I have felt on her.
She gathers some of the blood on her thumb. "I am offering now." She smiles sadly at me as her thumb inches toward my lips.
I yank my wrists from the chain, and they immediately fall off of my wrists.
Arabella gasps out her shock as I grab her hips, spinning her and pining her body underneath mine on the bed.
I know see that I have let her get away with too much, and it could cost both of us our lives.
