Three Alpha's, One selection (Ending reimagined)

Chapter 44

My limbs felt heavy as he started dragging me back to his room. I wished there was more for me to do, but the ballroom stays like this for their wedding reception. It's just cleaned and restocked for tomorrow morning. I bit my lip and held in my tears. We've done this thousands of times. There is no reason for me to feel like this. In fact this is the last time. What if he decides to kill me tonight?

As we walked into the room he pushed me towards the bed. While he walked to the opposite side of the room.

"Sit down!" It was a command. This was odd behaviour for him. Usually by now my dress would have been ripped off. He was pacing. He only does that when he is fighting his worst urges.

"I have changed my mind." He declared. I already knew this. I knew he wasn't letting me go. He was planning on killing me. I just didn't think we'd have a conversation about it.

"I know." I told him with a sigh. We've never had a real conversation. He talks to me or over me that's how it usually goes.

"You do?" He genuinely looked shocked.

"Of course I know. Do you really think Aceline could keep it a secret? She was bragging about it to the bridal group. I just thought that you would kill me after the wedding and I didn't think we would be talking about it. Why bring it up? Do I get to choose how?" I was being sarcastic, I think after everything I deserve a little bit of sarcasm.

He stopped pacing and frowned at me. He isn't use to me giving him attitude. Three years with him had made me be very obedient, but if I'm going to die anyway, I might as well say my say.

"Promises means nothing to you. You probably knew back then that you would bleed me dry and then dispose of me. That is afterall this packs misson. You all just use people up. You don't care what it cost them as long as you gain from it. You took all I had and it's still not enough, now you want to take my life as well. All to satisfy Aceline. I won't beg you to spare me, because at least I would be free of you." It's a lie. I'm not ready to die. I would beg even if it only spares me long enough to get away. I'm just hoping if he thinks I'm willing to die he won't kill me.

"You are wrong about a lot of things." I've never seen the wolf so calm. It might be the calm before the storm. I can't let down my guard.

"I'm not going to kill you. I can't kill you. You are my mate...I haven't taken everything from you...I don't have your heart, I've never been able to own your heart. I thought it had been obvious that you have mine... It's the one thing I wasn't willing to give, but you stole it...I am in love with you...I might have fallen in love with you the moment I met you..." I must be hearing him wrong, he can't possibly think this what we have is love.

"I was afraid of having a weakness. If people knew that I was in love with you they would go through you to get to me. I fought these feelings for so long. Now I don't want to fight anymore." The last thing I expected was a declaration of love, I never thought he would say it, I was sure that he didn't have a heart to feel such things.

"I have yearned to get affection from you, so much so that I had forced you to give it to me, but it's not good enough. I want the real thing. I want you to stay and be my mate. I want you to run the pack with me. I will still marry Aceline. She will only be my wife. I don't intend to have any sort of relationship with her. She is just the decoy so that my enemies think I am in love with her. They can rather kill her than you." Flabbergasted.

I couldn't believe what he was saying. This doesn't sound like him at all. How can he say he loves me after everything he has done to me. Is that his twisted way of loving someone because if it is then I don't want it. He was with Aceline before me, didn't he love her because he didn't treat her like this.

"I want to feel how it feel when you love me back!" I didn't even have time to comprehend what he was saying before he was marching over to me. His eyes looked crazed. This is the Rowan I know, but this terrified me more. When he used me for s*x I got it, but how can he make me love him. I turned to run, but my reaction came too late. He was already too close. He grabbed my hair pulling me to him, my back against his chest.

"I want to be your mate!" He whispered into my ear before kissing onto my scarred neck. A moan escaped my mouth. I hate that my body can betray me so.

"I want that!" He moaned against my mark. It made my legs quiver in need. He spun me around to face him.

"Mark me as yours!" I would never choose him as a mate. He can't make me do this. I wonder if he can command me to?

"No." The word left my mouth without any second thoughts on what would happen if I told him no. An animalistic growl sounded in the room. I looked at his eyes to see they were pitch black. The beast has fully taken control. I knew he was to calm before. It had been his aura, but Rowan still had some control, now it was just me and the beast.

He let go of me with one had and ripped his own shirt off. I just stood there waiting. His grip was to tight I knew I wouldn't be able to escape.

"I will be yours!" He growled before pulling my head back so hard I gasped out in pain. It's within that gasped that his forced my open mouth onto his neck, where I was supposed to mark him. The force he used had my teeth piercing his skin. My lips touching his skin had the bond kicking in as the s****l need for more contact kicked in.

I bit down harder marking him as my mate. My mind was in the fog, but it felt different. It was still crippling, but with us sharing the bond now it was not as mind numbing. His hand were under my ass in seconds. He grabbed onto it and hoisted me up against his body. I trailed kisses over his neck towards his mouth. Our mouths urgently working together, like we needed each other to breath.

He laid me down on the bed, I whimpered at the loss of touch. He ripped the dress leaving me naked on the bed only in my chains. I don't know when it happend but he was naked and hovering over me. He couldn't wait he immediately slammed into me. Hard and rough. He was crazed. He has never had a reaction like this, not in the three years we've been together every movement seemed to only make him harder, made. Him slam into me faster. He couldn't get enough. My body ached from the force of it. The mate bond seemed to be intoxicating to him.

I was shaking in need, o****m after o****m rolling in, my body sheen with sweat, my heart racing. I decided to take things into my hands as I flipped us over. Straddling him I could finally take it slower as I rode him at my own pace. My heart settling a bit. I felt like I could breath again.

It didn't last as his one hand grabbed onto my chains bring my mouth down to his, his other hand gripping my hip as he started slamming into me, he was holding me still so that all I could do was take it. He was lost in it. He was hotting a spot that made me want to shoot up and arch my back in pleasure, but he held my chains tight. My forehead rested against his as both of us panted.

"I want a pup!" He said before slamming into me one last time cumming. If I wasn't pregnant already I would be freaking out. I was too exhausted though as I fell down onto his chest and passed out.

I don't know how long I was out, but I woke up to him moving.

"Shh, go back to sleep. Everything is okay. I'm just putting you in your cage." That woke me up. He was giving me sweet kisses on the forehead like it would calm me.

"It's okay. I just can't trust you. You might just try and sneak away to that boy. I'm afraid that the mate bond will make me weak. Now you can use it as I have before. I can't take that chance." He whispered to me like he was saying sweet nothing in my ear.

"Please don't!" I started to beg. I grabbed onto him as tight as I could.

"Just chain me to the bed, please don't put me in there!" I pleaded, but my words fell on death ears as he ripped me of him. I scratched his skin open as I held on, but still I was tossed into the cold cage like a disobedient dog.

"I have no interest in going to him, please don't lock me in. I promise I'll stay in bed with you." I tried again as he slammed the gate shut.

"I'm sorry, My love, but I don't trust you. I told you, you are my weakness. I'd destroy the whole world for you. I'd destroy the entire universe just to keep you."
