Broken Chains

Chapter 17

We stayed in the shower until all the hot water was completely gone I honestly couldn’t say how long that took but it could have been days as I think I can honestly say I did blackout at least once, thank god there was a little chair in there. Thank god for that anyway I proved to be bloody useful. Derek seemed to recover much faster he gave me a lazy once over before wrapping me in a large white towel gently and settling me on the bathroom floor he went into the room with a much smaller towel wrapped around his waist his taut muscles glistening with droplets of water, and just like that my fatigue vanished he was the sexiest guy I had ever seen and he was wet! I suddenly wanted him here on the bathroom floor, again. But Derek was rummaging around picking up his various clothes, it was when he began pulling them roughly onto his still damp body that I got up frowning but found that my legs still weren’t working very well and I half collapsed back down and had to sit myself down on the toilet. Derek walked into the room and smiled which was combined with a sort of longing groan as he saw me.

“It’ll never be enough time.” he groaned walking over he leaned down and kissed me gentle tender and oh so sweet. “Go home.”

“No.” I hissed, he glared at me like a teacher who knows you don’t have your homework.

“We agreed.”

“No you agreed. You get out and then I’ll be right there.”

“You want me to let you become a rogue.”

“Doesn’t look so bad so far, will you agree if I suck your d**k again?”

“No. I won’t let you leave the pack.” He growled

“There’s nothing you can do. I’m just going to follow you and if you don’t get out that means I’ll be in danger and the second that your free of them let’s see if you still say no then.” Derek growled “you may be stronger but you know no matter how fast you run I’m faster.” He rolled his eyes and leaned in kissing me again. His hands slid down my arms causing Goosebumps to spring up following the trail left by his fingers. I gasped as I felt cool metal catch around my wrists. He had cuffed me around the plumbing of the toilet, how dignified.

“Go home.” He smiled looking far too pleased with himself over my situation. “I’m going to go talk to my brother and make sure that he comes in here and drags you back by your hair if that’s what it takes.” He kissed me again and then left. Pausing in the doorway he looked back over his shoulder, “I love you baby.” He whispered his eyes sparkling a beautiful gold “and I always will. Your so pretty.” I couldn’t say anything as he left, as I heard him, the first words he had ever said to me were now also the last words he had said to me it was done.

Derek

I suppressed a laugh as I stepped out into the hallway and Carl leapt to his feet with way too much enthusiasm which made him stumble back over. His eyes widened as he saw me as if surprised and slowly carefully he righted himself. I frowned as I heard a snarling before I realised that it was me making that noise. Carl was looking at the floor his posture and gaze completely passive trying to convince me that he was no threat, but that didn’t help I knew what had happened between him and my mate so no matter his passiveness he had almost declared war, and it took all my control to not simply launch myself at him and tear his throat out.

“Hello Brother.” I snapped not liking the harsh tone of my voice.

“where’s Jess?” he asked I growled deep in my throat as an image of him kissing my girl rose in my mind, it made me want to start throwing things.

“I can’t hurt her.” I said gruffly.

“I know that.”

“Cuffed to the plumbing.” I said simply Carl raised his eyes to mine and smiled,

“Kinky but whatever turns you two on.” He said suddenly he was my brother again and I just wanted to cross the distance between us and grab him into a hug. As much as I missed my mate I missed the pack as a whole almost as much, my little brother especially. The silence stretched out between the two of us, I didn’t know how to break it and Carl shifting around uncomfortably clearly knew how he wanted to break it but was struggling with it.

“I’m sorry.” He said. Pathetic. I snarled and flung myself across hallway my hand wrapped around his throat I lifted his feet clean off the floor pinning him back against the wall. I growled at him baring my teeth. Carl simply passively allowed this making absolutely no move to stop me. We had spared enough that we both knew that I was bigger and stronger than my little brother, but that didn’t matter he could have fought back I wanted him to fight back but no he was being passive accepting whatever it was I choose to do to him. I snarled looking at my little brother squeezing his throat a little harder. Carl still didn’t resist he just looked at me passively his eyes downcast.

“Don’t.” I snarled “just don’t.” Carl stayed still smart boy I wanted him to fight so I could vent all my frustration on him and he knew it he knows if he doesn’t resist I won’t kill him because he’s my brother. Or rather he must have hoped because he had no clue what I was capable of anymore. I opened my hand and allowed him to just crumple to the floor massaging his throat where my hand mark could clearly be seen. “Lucky cunt.” I snapped “I should rip your bollocks off.” Carl nodded from his crumpled position on the floor.

“All this effort following you all over the damn country and I all I had to do to find you was f**k your girl. If I’d known that I would have done it weeks ago.” An intense blazing rage flooded me and I swung my leg to kick him in the stomach once, twice three times. Carl sagged over grimacing gripping his stomach.

“That all you got Bro.” Carl said pushing himself up. I smiled; this was just what I was after. Was I going to kill him? Possibly, the image of him kissing my girl flashed across my mind and pure rage poured into me, I heard a growl escape from my throat. I swung a strong Right hook at Carl who hopped back avoiding the blow my momentum throwing me temporarily off balance as Carl’s jab hit me hard on the cheek, I couldn’t help but reel back slightly Carl was in no way holding back on me right now. I threw a blow hard into Carl stomach he hit my cheek with a hard right hook. The blow which landed on my nose an instant later made my head jerk back and my eyes water. Carl hung back clearly thinking it would be unsporting to hit me while I was temporarily blinded, but I merely saw this as an opening and kicking Carl in the chest punching him in the side of his face again I saw his lip split. I caught Carl’s wrist as he flung his arm out at me and I twisted the arm up around his back. I pushed Carl hard into the wall of the corridor I heard the breath being knocked out of his lungs before a blinding pain registered as he swung his elbow around hitting my nose with a sickening crunch I felt my nose shatter and begin to bleed profusely. I stumbled back from my Brother attempting to stem the blood flowing from my nose with the hem of my filthy tattered t-shirt. I would have laughed if I’d had the breath too. I quickly dispensed with the attempts at stopping my nose bleed I wasn’t that bothered by blood I had experienced a lot of it in my past and anyway a nosebleed wasn’t going to kill me. I hit Carl hard with a left hook as he hit me with a jab I dodged his next hook and ducking down landed an intense hard blow into Carl’s stomach the power in the blow reeled him back . I grabbed him and shoved him back into the wall behind him slamming him back hard, Carl grabbed my neck and pulled me down onto his knee which hit me in the chest hard releasing me to just hit me in the cheek with a right hook. I Dodged his Next blow which swung wide throwing Carl off balance and I jabbed out at him but even as a blow landed just under his eye Carl swung Round and caught me with a hard kick that landed in my ribs that was going to leave one hell of a bruise. My next blow flew wide as Carl dodged aside and my intense momentum carried my fist around slamming it into the corridor wall. Carl landed a heavy blow to my chest before I gave him a hard kick to his already sensitive stomach which forced him to back pedal a few paces. I staggered back to give me just a second to try and catch my breath noticing that Carl was similarly breathing heavily. I took a single step forward and hit Carl with a strong Jab followed by a kick which made him stagger back again hitting the wall. He recovered fast and jumped forward hitting me hard in the stomach followed by what could only be described as a shove. I hit the far wall and sagged slightly panting as Carl across the hall was leaning his back on the wall his head raised to examine the ceiling his eyes closed as he panted as heavily as me. “Enough.” I said breathlessly. Carl nodded,

“Yeah enough.” He panted he had a split lip which was dripping blood down his chin, he also had a dark vivid bruise appearing on his cheek and he was soon going to have a spectacularly black eye.

“Don’t get me wrong little bro I still feel entitled to rip your balls off.” Carl shrugged, “and believe me the only reason I won't is because I need your help right now. “Carl frowned but smartly didn’t say anything.” Come on Bro.” I said reaching out to grab his shoulder “let’s go get a drink because this is going to hurt like a b***h pretty soon and I need to talk to you.”

“Its nine am Derek.” I snorted,

“It’s like midnight in New Zealand.” I snapped,” so what the hell does that matter.”

"Its 10pm in New Zealand." Carl said softly

"Smart Ass," he smiled,

“You just want to leave Jessie cuffed to a toilet?” he asked incredulously I smiled,

“She’s better off in there she won’t be able to get herself into any trouble. Well not so much anyway.” Carl frowned “look Bro I’m trying to save her life okay which is why I have to talk to you.”

“Just talk Bro cause I can’t leave her alone particularly if she’s chained up. “

“They won't find her here believe me she’s safe here.”

“Are you sure?”

“I wouldn’t suggest it otherwise.”
