Wolf Bond

She crouches down and gasps for breath as soon as Micah leaves her.

“Ivory, listen to me...” His voice sounds slightly panicked.

If my focus was not on Emma, I would have definitely been shocked to hear my name from his mouth for the first time.

My gaze turns to him when he takes a step in my direction. But whatever he has seen on my face stopped him in his tracks.

“Don’t come in between us if you don’t want to get hurt,” I warn him then I walk towards Emma.

She instantly straightens and snarls at me, which only makes me smirk.

“You should not have touched who’s mine.” Shaking my head, I chuckle darkly.

There is something inside me which is consuming me, something terrifying, yet comforting.

“What you gonna do about it?” She scoffs, “You can’t kill me, because you will lose Donovon if anything happens to me...” The confidence in her voice makes me want to laugh, because if she thinks this then she has another thing coming.

"Darling, I have already lost everything which I cherished, now I have got nothing to lose any more.” I smile at her, “However, you are right about one thing... I will not kill you, I will make you suffer.”

Her eyes widen for a fraction of second, but she composes her look. She looks at me with seething passion, as her lips ripple with a snarl that is meant to be threatening, but it doesn’t threatens me at all. In fact, I find it funny, as she doesn’t know this will be the last snarl coming out of her mouth.

She lunges to attack at me, but my hand turns into a claw as I grip her neck.

My eyes travel to the part where her shoulder meets her neck and I dig my claws into her flesh.

She screams as claws my hand, but I feel nothing.

When you have already lived through the worst pain in your life, then no other pain fazes you.

“You wanted to take my place, right?” Tilting my head, I look at her while slowly I keep on digging my claws in her flesh, “Bear my mate’s mark on your neck?”

“I will let you experience everything which I had experienced being his mate.” Clenching my jaws, I close my claws tearing her flesh as she tries to fight me off.

Grabbing a fistful of her flesh from her neck, I yank my hand back taking a chunk out of her neck as she falls on the floor with force.

Her agonizing screams, the feeling of her warm flesh in my claws sends a wave of comfort throughout my body.

“This is how I have felt when you marked my mate.” I look at the missing flesh on her neck from where blood gushes out like a stream... my canines elongate as some feral feeling to tear her flesh from her bones churns inside me.

Holding her neck she tries to scramble away from me as she helplessly looks around.

“Donovon, help me.” She cries looking past my shoulder, but her pleas get no response from him.

My lips twist into a sinister smile, looking at her pathetic form on the floor.

“You wanted to be me, Emma. Have you ever seen me asking for help from him or anyone?” Raising my eyebrows, I ask her innocently.

“Please don’t kill me.” She drags herself away from her.

“I will not kill you, Emma.” I shake my head, “I will just let you experience everything which I have experienced. If you die during that experience then it is not my fault.” I shrug nonchalantly.

Kneeling beside her, without any warning I slash her stomach again and again.

“This is how I felt when I sliced my flesh again and again when I was desperately trying to take my pup out of my womb, to save her when you were claiming my mate.” My words turn cold, as I relive those moments.

She cries and writhes on the floor as the shreds of her flesh cover the wall behind her and myself.

Standing up, I bring my foot harshly on her arm and it breaks on the impact.

“This is how I felt when her bones were breaking inside me.” Holding her foot, I step on her knee forcefully.

The sound which resonates in the room reminds me of the sounds which I heard when my pup’s bones were snapping, only this time it doesn’t hurt me, but it brings immense satisfaction in my heart.

“Feel like passing out?” Sitting beside her on the floor, I hold her face in my bloodied hands, “Even I also felt like passing out, but you know what I was not able to.” I shrug.

“Please, forgive me,” she whimpers.

“I am not punishing you, Emma.” I shake my head and wipe her tears with my fingers, smearing blood all over her face, “You wanted to be me, you wanted to take my place. So you have to live everything which I went through because then only you will know how it feels to be me. I am just letting you experience how I felt when my everything was being snatched from me.” I sigh and remove her hair from her face.

“I wanted to die, but my wish was not granted.” I look at her, “But don’t worry I will grant your wish when you will pray for death... I will give you, but only after you have felt everything which I have gone through that day.”

“Stop, Ivory, this is not you!” I hear someone scream.

“Want to know how it feels when you can no longer feel your child moving inside you because your pup is dead? ” Arching my eyebrow, I nod my head at her, ignoring everyone around me.

“Like somebody has cut your chest and clenching your heart painfully in their hand.” Slashing her chest deeply, I plunge my hand into the gash and crush her ribs, which are stopping me from reaching her heart. My claws shift back into the hand, as I enclose my fingers around the beating organ and she thrashes wildly on the floor.

Thump Thump Thump.

Her heart beats in my hand.

“And when she died.” I stare at her heart, while flashes of lying on the ground while cradling my bump come before my eyes, as the same pain sears through my heart. “I felt like my heart will burst with pain.”

“Like somebody has torn my heart from my chest.”

Grasping her heart tightly in my hand, I pull it out of her chest as I stare ahead. My eyes close momentarily as blood splatters all over my face, while her heart stops between in my hand.
