Scarlett
It took two long days of us barely speaking or stopping to reach his ‘home’. It didn’t look like any normal clan. There was no huge mansion in the middle that housed all the upper clansman and dining hall. There didn’t seem to be even an infirmary. If anyone happened upon it they would just think it’s a neighborhood in the middle of the densest part of the forest. Nothing really stood out. I wanted so badly to ask a million questions. However, after him almost killing me, I just couldn’t bring myself to talk to him or even warm up to him. So I silently followed him into the clan.
As soon as we were a few feet from the first house men started appearing from behind houses, trees, boulders. You name it they appeared from it. They were all rough looking men with scars, tattoos and beards.
Did I happen upon a bikers club instead?
Again so many questions. They were all scary looking and didn’t say anything as they crowded around. I reached out to the back of Kirian’s shirt. He may have tried to kill me but at the moment he felt like my best chance at surviving this. I was his mate.. that had to mean something, right?
A man slowly walked toward Kirian. He was taller than Kirian and stacked muscle on top of muscle. But he had beautiful long blonde hair in braids. Even tiny braids in his beard. And the greenest eyes.. he was definitely scary sexy.
“Kirian, we thought something might have happened to you. it was taking you so long to get back. But now I see you just stopped to get you a b***h. Not a bad looking one at that”
Bitch?! I take back the sexy. He was as vile as them all.
“Hahaha no no my plan was side tracked. This here b***h is my mate. She is a healer. Thought she would come in handy. She is MINE! No one is to touch her. To do so would be a death sentence.“
As he said this he looked into every man’s eyes. Letting them know he was serious and there would be no second chances.
“Come Scarlett let me take you to our home and Keigan follow I have much to tell you”
Aww so the brute with no manners is keigan.. wait did he just tell me to come follow him like a DOG. He must be out of his mind. But at the same time I don’t want to be left behind with these men.
I rush to stay up with them as they head to a house on the far end of the village. It was the closest to the mountain wall. That guarded the back side of the village from foe.
“ where are we going? I thought we were going to your house.”
Most clans the alpha’s house is in the middle so he is protected and can get to the front of a battle easily on any side.
“We are mate. “
“I don’t understand.. why is your home so far from your people.”
“ because mate my people can take care of themselves and don’t need an alpha to hold their hands. I chose this house because my back is protected by the mountain. I am not left vulnerable to all elements like that of the middle.”
Did he not trust his clansmen to have his back? That as the alpha protects the clan the clan protects the alpha. These must be the vilest, disloyal group of people if they can’t even trust those in their own clan.
He leads me into the house. Which is spacious, seems to have two stories.
“Keigan go to the office I’ll be right there”
Keigan walks off down a hallway. And Kirian starts to head up the stairs. I start following him through the house. Wondering what rooms lead where. Guess I’m not good enough for a tour of the house. Suddenly stopping He turns around and grabs my shoulder pushing me against the wall. Then his lips are crushing mine. They are so warm and inviting. I don’t even put up a fight this time. I must be tired. He pushes his tongue into my mouth and starts moving with mine. I loop my arms around his neck to draw him in closer. Moaning when he starts sucking on my tongue. I can feel myself getting wet and don’t ever want it to stop. But before I can even voice that thought. He pulls away. Pulls my arms from his neck.Stares into my eyes the whole time and then opens a door that’s behind me and pushes me in. Slamming the door shut. To add insult to injury, I hear a lock on the other end.
“Son of a ..”
