The Reedemed Alpha

Eye of the storm

Johnathan.

She had fire. He couldn't say it wasn't a turn on. But the way his balls were feeling right now made his beast want to dominate. Her terror only enhanced his wolfs desire. But also the desire to protect. He just wanted to play with her. It was obvious getting answers from her would not be easy so he played along. It was clear she was scared to death of this Victor. Who was he? Her boyfriend? Husband? Ex?

An unfamiliar emotion simmered in him. Shaking his head slightly he groaned but forced himself to stand.

'I'll let that slide just this once.' He gritted out. 'I wouldn't recommend trying it again.'

'Then let me the f**k go, asshole!'

Despite the pain that was slowly receding he laughed at her outburst.

'Relax, kitten. Don't hurt yourself. I'll be right back. I have a call to make.' Smirking he stroked her hair before patting her head gently. 'Don't go anywhere.'

Stepping over to the kitchen he pulled out a cellphone from one of the drawers. Swiping off the dust he turned it on. He knew his brother kept up the payments for service for this call he was about to make.

Walking out onto the porch he called Rexton. It rang several times before he got his voicemail.

'This is Rexton. My husband and I are on vacation at the moment. Leave a message. I'll call you back later. Bye.'

Seething with impatience he managed to keep his voice low.

'It's Johnathan. I found her. Tell my brother and his wife I expect them to keep up their end of the bargain.'

Ending the call he placed his phone in his back pocket before striding back inside. He expected her to be struggling against her restraints. But she wasn't. She was sitting still with her head down and staring at nothing. Her lips were pursed and she had a look of almost pain on her face.

'Does your head still hurt?'

She looked up with a glare.

'Yes. But I need to use the bathroom. Unless you'd prefer me to piss myself.'

Smiling, he stepped closer.

'Alright. If I let you get up and use the bathroom, can I trust you to come sit back on this bed?'

They stared each other down for minutes before she responded.

'Will you tie me back up?'

'That my dear is up to you. If you behave I won't.'

'Fine.'

'Fine?'

'Yes! Come on! I have to pee now!'

He untied her and helped her up. She wobbled a bit before clasping her head with a groan.

'When you're done I'll get you something for the pain.'

'Thank you.' She said grudgingly.

'This way.' He nudged her to the bathroom.

She was about to close the door when his foot shot out to stop it.

'What are you doing?'

'Is a little privacy too much to ask?' She snarked.

'It is when I can't see what you might be up to.'

'I'm going to the bathroom.'

'Then you won't mind if I come in.'

'Yes I do, pervert! I can't go when someone is watching!'

Silence for a few moments before he stepped back.

'Alright but I will be waiting right outside this door.'

'Okay!' She shouted before slamming the door on his face.

Grinning he leant back against the wall.

She was funny.

He listened. He waited and heard the toilet finally flush.

'All done?'

'Give me a minute, geez!'

Chuckling, he waited.

'Okay.'

Opening the door he felt something hard smash against the back of his head. The pain was fleeting but the impact more surprised him.

Glaring, he slowly turned toward her. Two sharp broken corners of the back of the toilet were in her hands. The floor was scattered with white chunks of porcelain. Her eyes were wide and surprised. Then fear.

He saw her hands shoot out to stab him with the pieces. Gripping her hand he squeezed until she was forced to drop them. Lifting her over his shoulder he dropped her back on the bed.

She struggled with him. But he managed to pin her arms and tie them to the frame. She then kicked at him. Straddling her legs he tied them next.

Standing he crossed his arms.

'I did warn you.'

'f**k you!'

Sighing he turned back in the bathroom. He heard her scream obscenities at him as he looked through the medicine cabinet.

His brother had made sure someone stocked the cabin with all sorts of items. That included medicine just in case. Not that shifters needed it. Perhaps Cassandraknew this would happen?

He found something called night time tylenol. Reading the bottle he poured two in his hand. Going into the kitchen next he got some water.

'Do you want to take these for the pain or do I have to make you?' He asked as he stood next to the bed.

She clamped her lips definitely closed.

'Is this what it takes to make you silent? Very well.'

Plugging her nose he waited for her to open her mouth.

When she gasped he placed them on her tongue and poured water in her mouth before covering it with his hand.

He heard her swallow before he took his hand away.

She gasped for air then narrowed her eyes again.

'What the hell did you just ram down my throat?'

'Something for the pain and to help you sleep.'

She sagged against the headboard and bowed her head.

'Why are you doing this? If you don't work with Victor what do you want?'

'We'll talk more tomorrow. For now, sweets, just rest now.'

'No.'

Chuckling he sat down at the edge of the bed.

'We'll see.'

It was a comical battle of a showdown between them. Soon her eyelids grew heavy and breathing shallower. In about twenty minutes she was asleep.

Smiling he stroked her hair away from her face before standing again.

He didn't get to finish his hunt earlier. She would soon need food and other things too.

Getting an old shirt from the cupboard from the wardrobe closet, he put it on before stepping out into the near dawn light.
