“Are you OK?" Marco asked as I fell off the bed. “ No,” I said as I began rubbing my head. I was then hit with another wave of pain from my heart. “What’s wrong?" he asks, visibly concerned. “ This human is not our mate,” My wolf Chenel says Bleakley. I froze in shock. How is she able to be here while I'm in human form.”And why does my heart feel as if it’s being ripped out of my chest? “That is the pain our mate is feeling,” she says meekly as if she herself was in pain. “Do you want me to call for help?” Marco said worriedly."No, I’m good” I managed to grunt out, and try to stand up as I miserably fail. “ I just need to use the bathroom,” I said quickly despite the agonizing pain as I stood up and went to the bathroom. And it was as if I was dipped in a healing potion because my body suddenly felt better as I went into the bathroom away from Marco. So I guess the pain really was Mate-related. I went to the sink. The coldness of the water calmed my mind. I stared at the mirror, "Am I actually this affected by the mate bond?" I said as I continued to stare in the mirror, “ Damn it”. I slammed my hand into the mirror, watching the blood trickle down my hand. “ Is everything ok, Marco asked, concerned on the other side of the door? “ Yes… just a minute”, I said, as I rushed to find a bandage in the hotel cupboard. I wrapped my hand around the bandage.” I have been trying to avoid the topic of my mate, but at this moment all I can think about is my mate, does he want me, is he upset that I left him, why is he so handsome.” Ahh, This is so frustrating” I softly grunted to myself. No man has ever made me feel this way before. I never even wanted a mate and now I feel all types of emotions… I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I think as I rest my head on the broken mirror. “ Are you ok?" Marco says for the second time. “ Geez, I'm coming,” I say as I finish wrapping up my hand.

As I exit the bathroom, I see Marco standing outside my door with a worried expression on his face. ‘’You feel better” he says as he reaches to hold my hand. I quickly pulled away from him, not trying to cause a greater internal battle than what was already going on within me. “ Let's continue where we left off,” I said as I roughly pushed Marco on the bed and pressed my body into him. He smiles, seeming to enjoy the dominance I have over him. I started to kiss him, moving my body against him. He tries to flip me over, but I have him pinned. “ Not yet,” I say as I begin to trail my kisses down his. “Oh god’’ he says with pleasure. I chuckle, which only causes him to smile. I continue to kiss him as I simultaneously get the furry handcuffs from my bag. “ What are you doing?" he asks as he looks at the handcuffs. “Just some kinky fun,” I say while taking off my dress, which leaves me in my bra and underwear. He tries to move his hand to touch my breast. I stopped his hand and I put them in handcuffs. “ I want to watch you squirm,” I said as I see his pleading eyes begging me to release him. I get up smiling and I go back into the bathroom to get a rag. I came back and I shoveled it in his mouth. He looks surprised by the sudden intrusion, but he doesn't complain, assuming it's all part of the game. I got back on top of him, and kissed all around his gag, teasing him a little so I could see his reaction. He was squirming like a hungry puppy. I took off his gag and leaned in for a kiss. He instinctively shut his eyes. Instead of being met with the warm embrace of my lips, he was met with a sharp pain in his legs. He let out a scream of agony as I continued to rip through his legs with my knife. Ace quietly entered the room, with the laptop in his hand. “ I returned all the money to his wife,” Ace says, showing the transaction records. “ Good,” I say as I turn to the confused and disoriented Marco. Ace puts the laptop on the table recording. “Your wife says Hello ’’" Ace said mockingly. Marco's face widened with shock, as he was hit with the realization of being set up by his wife. He started to squirm. Ace went over to him and slapped him. “ Shut up Marco,” he said bitterly, with no remorse. Marco panicked, which only annoyed me. I grabbed him by the neck, gradually squeezing, watching his eyes pop out of his head. I let go, watching him struggle to catch his breath. Ace gave me my knife. I crept towards Marco, whose fear was reunited as he saw the knife. He tried to creep back, but of course, I moved forward. I motioned my head to Ace, who recognized the signal and went to hold Marco down. I took the knife and abruptly slammed it into his leg. Marco let out the most agonizing scream, as the blood gushed out of his leg, he started to shake uncontrollably trying to get out of Ace’s grasp. But Ace held on tight, not visibly struggling, even though he has no wolf. he is still stronger than the average human. I got a hold of the knife and I ripped it out as more blood began rushing out. Marco continued to growl. Thankfully, no blood was on the floor. I then put the knife back into the same place I took it out, which rewarded me with another lovely scream from Marco. I then took the knife and forcefully dragged it down. Marco let out a scream which was almost inhuman. Ace was now visibly having a hard time trying to control him but still managed to keep a firm grip. I repeated the process over and over again, twisting and pulling as Marco continued to give the same agonizing screams. I pause for a minute. I pulled the knife out completely, then brought it back in.” You messed with the wrong woman Marco”, he didn't respond, still flailing. It's a wonder how he still has any energy left to fight back. It seems like my words were the last straw because he somehow broke free of the handcuffs and pushed Ace off him. Stunned, I backed away, “ How did you manage to get out…” I couldn’t finish as I was stopped by Marco's hand connecting to my face. I fell back shocked by the quickness of his actions. Ace tried to grab him but he pushed him, knocking over the laptop. I quickly regained my senses after the slap and jumped on Marco, wrapping my legs around him and pounding his head with both hands as he was struggling to get me off, almost falling over. Ace set the laptop back up. He went to his bag and pulled out a gun. Marco finally managed to throw me off him, with his head feeling a little dizzy from the constant pounding. He realized Ace was holding a gun at him, and his face went pale. “Please don’t kill me” he begins to plead, with tears starting to stream. “ I Just wasn’t ready to be a father I swear.” he says between sobs.” Not my Problem”, Ace says coldly before shooting him a couple of times as Marco falls over back flat to the bed. I sigh, getting up and limping a little.”He sure is strong for a human who was stabbed in the leg multiple times” I say as I am putting back on my dress. “ Yeah, but this is gonna make for one hell of a video for our client.” Ace says smiling. “ Yeah, especially the part of him begging, she did say she wanted to see him suffer,” I said, trying my hardest not to laugh. I grabbed my bag, and Ace grabbed the laptop and his stuff, as we left the hotel room laughing, with the clean-up crew going in after.
