My Mate Crimson Beauty

Chapter Four

Nikki's P.O.V

"f**k that hurts." I somewhat loudly say. The punch to the face and gut the pack warrior kindly gave me, the kick to the head that Louise gave me hurts like a b***h. I sigh great I can add it to the rest of the bruises that I have on my body.

Oh well, the damage is done. I have to finish getting the alphas horse settled in his stall. Then replace his horseshoes.

To top it all off I have to stay here tonight to deliver the foal. I sigh so much to do thanks to Louise and her minions.

Huh? Why do I feel like someone is watching me? I turn round to see that man that was staring at me during the slut rescue.

He was just standing in the doorway staring at me with his piercing blue eyes.

I can't help but check him out.

He is At least 6ft tall, muscular build, Long black hair that reached below his shoulders.

He was wearing a black t-shirt that hugged around his arms and was strained tight across his broad chest. Black jeans that hung tight on his hips. My eyes seemed to wander down further, to his massive bulge in his pants.

"He's Gorgeous, I want him," said my wolf

"Athena!" I reprimanded my wolf

"What? You think so, too, I can feel it." My wolf said in a childish voice.

"Can you not. We don't even know who this guy is, Plus Dad will kill us." I reminded her

My father, Logan O'Connell, is not the kindest man. But he wasn't always that way. He used to be kindhearted, loving, gentleman.

But after my mother died, he changed.

He started to drink almost every day, and because I looked identical to my mother, he developed a resentment towards me.

He started to beat me. He always avoids my face, so no one knows. He beats me with anything he can find on hand at the time, from his fists to metal baseball bats. It's always over something so small, like if I didn't get home in time, if I am too tired to cook or clean.

But now it seems that he thinks that I'm flirting with men from the packhouse. So far, I have been cautious to avoid contact with any males so that I can survive a beating.

But after that fiasco today I'm dead. So I just texted my dad that I'm staying late to deliver the foal and sent him a picture of the pregnant horse laying in her stall.

Next to her is my birthing kit that my dad is aware that I only take this out when a horse is going to give birth.

He replied with "OK." I breathe a sigh of relief; he believes me so maybe I won't get a beating when I get back home.

"So you just going to stand there and stare at me or are you going to introduce yourself?."

I ask. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.

He looked at me with a dumbfounded look on his face. As if I'm supposed to know who he is, and because I don't he seems a little hurt.

Then out of the blue all I hear is "Mine."

Crap he did not just say what I think he just said.

"He did," Athena said to me

"Way to point out the obvious, Athena." I roll my eyes at her.

"You're not helping, what the hell is dad going to think when he finds out. If I felt that I was dead before I am now!."

With that Athena whined because she knew I was right. So she retreated back into my mind.

I finally worked up the courage to speak after a few minutes. "Yeah, look I think you made a mistake I am not your mate. To be fair, I don't want a mate, and I don't even know your name or know anything about you." I told the mysterious man with all the determination I could.

I heard a growl. Mystery man's eyes turned black, s**t! I'm in trouble. Before I could do anything, he used his wolf's speed and had me pinned against the wall. "Ow!" Is all I could muster before he spoke.

"YOU ARE MINE AND ONLY MINE; YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO REJECT ME OR TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT ME!." He growled at me.

He finished telling me what I was and wasn't 'allowed.' to do. Who the hell does this guy think he is? I have to get away from him now. I looked around, and I saw that Ash still had his saddle on, perfect.

I turn to him and face him with a smug look on my face and say "Oh yeah, well am I allowed to do this?!." I kneed him in the balls. While he was busy on his knees holding his jewels, I wasted no time and ran over to Ash.

I mounted him and sped off into the woods. I heard an aggressive roar coming from the stables. I urged Ash to run faster, and we headed for my secret spot
