Chapter 7

"So....?" I question.
""Soo...." Dimitri mimicks "you are not to go anywhere without me, Mason or Lennox."
"Why? I can handle myself." I retort angrily.
"Because we need you safe Aurora." Mason says from the other side of the room.
I scoff. I hated being told what to do. I mean I get why but it's gotta be an empty threat. Right? Even if it wasn't I rarely go past the walls of the pack house compound.
"Aurora" Dimitri places his hand under my chin and tilts my head up to look at him. "I can't lose you after I've just found you. Please listen to me. To us."
I know he's right and those damn sparks make me cave. I just nod my head. He brushes his thumb over my lips and then leans down and steals a kiss. A quick kiss. Again it was amazing. Every time he's near I get weak in the knees and crave more.
"Could you not do that around me? Technically she's still my wife." I almost forgot Mason was in the room.
"I'm sorry." Dimitri apologizes looking at Mason. Not without a hint of sarcasm behind the apology.
"Am I allowed to go to my room?" I ask with a partial snide tone.
"Yes. But I'll walk you." Dimitri turns to the door.
As we walk to my room, I keep stealing glances at him. He's handsome like ridiculously handsome. He's rugged and manly. His eyes are a piercing green color. His still shirtless body sculpted by Michelangelo himself. Thinking about his big strong hands on me, grabbing my throat as he kisses me, has me getting aroused.
" if you don't want to get mated and marked right here in this hallway, I'd stop thinking about whatever has you aroused. It smells amazing" I'm pulled out of my thoughts and realize how wet I am. And sense the pitch black eyes of Dimitri's Beast on me.
"Sorry....so what's your Lycans name?" I say hoping to change the subject and same time maybe relax his Beast by asking about him.
"Cassius." He says as I can see his eyes fade to their emerald green color. "Your wolf?"
"Katya." I answer glancing at my shoes as I walk.
"Tell him we'd love to see his beast, Cassius. Then maybe he'll let us outside." Katya pipes up.
"Maybe Katya and Cassius could meet? We could go for a run?" I ask with a cheeky smile.
"Haha...no. I'm not falling for that. You're staying in at least til I can guarantee you'll be safe." Dimitri reaches down and grabs my hand bringing it up to his lips and giving a gentle kiss. "You may not feel the bond as strong as me due to your marriage but I'm already all in. Dive in head first in love with you." Our hands fall but stay held together by both of us not wanting to let go.
"I feel it. It's strong. I just....ugh I feel almost guilty." I say lowering my gaze as we reach my bedroom door.
"Guilty? Cuz you were married? You didn't know."
"Well not only that but the day before we met I was railed by Mason and he was going to Mark me..." I get cut off by nails digging into my hand. No, not nails, claws. And a growl.
"You really don't think before you talk do you?" Dimitri snarls at me, then I notice it's not Dimitri it's Cassius. Front and Center nothing holding him back.
I try to pull my hand away but his claws keep digging in deeper drawing blood. I manage to pull my hand away and hold it up to look at it and see it covered in blood. I wasn't scared of Dimitri but I'm terrified of Cassius. Then a clawed hand grabs the wrist of my injured one and I can see him studying it. His eyes going from green to black over and over again. Dimitri fighting for dominance. Then the grip relaxes and I see he won.
Without warning Dimitri pushes me into my room and shuts the door behind him. Leaving me terrified and confused and now utterly alone.
I shouldn't have said what I said. Word vomit. Mason always said I needed to work on that but it was also something he loved about me. But this time it'd gone too far I think.
I head to the bathroom to wash the blood off my hand. The wounds were already healing and didn't hurt.
*knock*
"Aurora?" Masons voice comes through the bathroom door. I open it while still standing at the sink.
"What happened?" He asks taking my injured hand in his.
"My mouth got away from me." I say pulling my hand away.
"Aurora did Dimitri do this? He may be the Lycan King but if he hurt you I'll kill him."
"No, I mean, yes he technically did but it was his Lycan not him." I say. "I'm fine I promise."
"What did you say? Cuz I can't imagine what you could've said to make him lose control." Mason asked.
"I may have mentioned that you and I had sex." I was avoiding saying what I actually said out of embarrassment.
"There's more to it than that. I can tell by your face."
"I just said it more bluntly. More like 'yesterday I was getting railed by Mason and he was gunna mark me'" I say giving a shrug.
"No wonder his Lycan took over." He gives a chuckle. "I've been doing some research about Lycans and mate bonds."
"And?" I question.
"Most Lycans mark their mate as soon as they meet. Not during mating. Just like hi how are ya? Bite. The fact he didn't is probably causing a fight between him and his beast. Causing him physical pain."
"Then why didn't he mark me?" I ask. I can't help but feel confused. Maybe Dimitri wasn't actually 100 percent sure I was mate material. Why wouldn't he mark me right away if it was normal?
"Aurora, he probably just wants to make sure we are divorced before he does. Don't go overthinking it." God Mason knew me so well. Knew I'd automatically go to me not being good enough.
"Wait, why were you researching lycan mate bonds?" I ask suspiciously.
"I was seeing if maybe there was another option." He hangs his head down looking defeated. Based on that I assume there's not and me being mated to the Lycan King was still the only option.
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about me, Roar. I will be fine. I can see the bond between you two already. It's awkward but you guys will make a f*****g hot couple." He forces a laugh trying to break the tension.
"Did Lennox and Derek find anything?" I ask doing what I do best and deflecting.
"No not yet. Everyone was accounted for after the 'incident'. So we are back to square one."
I sigh in annoyance.
Masons eyes glaze over getting a mindlink. He abruptly runs to leave the room, slamming the door shut behind him and yelling for me to stay put.
I've never been locked in my room so much in my life.
