Flashes of an all too familiar room. The smell of earth and sweat. The feeling of hands roaming across my skin. Everything began to become increasingly clear. Flinching, I tried to make it go away.
I could hear the disgusting sounds of his heavy breathing as he tried his best to get exactly what he wanted.
"No." I whimpered trying to break free. "I don't want this!"
"Come on Marissa." Lifting his head, he locked his golden gaze with mine. "You've made me wait how long?"
At his words, my heart constricted painfully. How many months had we been together? How long had he chased me? I knew that he deserved to get
"Calm down." I said slowly, reaching out a hand to touch Travis' cheek. "It isn't that big of a deal."As my skin grazed his, Travis let out a growl of warning to escape. Pulling back my hand, I couldn't stop the sudden hurt that I felt towards his reaction. He was so mad that he didn't even want me to touch him."This really doesn't have anything to do with you." I spoke slowly, trying to keep my emotions in check. "I don't see why you're so upset."Eyes flashing, Travis' face fell into a look of disbelief at what I had just said."Has nothing to do with me?" Travis repeated slowly, trying to reign in his rage. "Tell me
Davison, Gregory, and Travis took their places at the head of the table that everyone was instructed to sit at. They remained silent, watching while the congregation situated themselves. It was only when everyone was seated that Davison stood up and squared his shoulders. "As you all know, you are here today because the rogues have begun to attack more frequently." He began looking around the table. "Usually, this wouldn't be that big of an issue, but they've begun to grow bold and even attack pack lands." Looking around, he waited to see if anyone would speak. When they didn't, he took a long breath, ready to continue. "You've all been called here today because you are the best warriors this pac
"Care to explain?" I asked, raising my brow."Explain what?" Travis responded, already seeming uncomfortable. You can't possibly believe what he said. ""Sure I can."Just by Travis' discomfort, it was easy enough to see that there was truth to Gregory's words. If not, why was he squirming?"Marissa, could you please just pretend he said nothing?" Travis sighed while running a hand through his hair. "Even if it is true, that was the past, okay?"Honestly, I wanted to pretend nothing was said. I also wanted to pretend that it didn't bother me. The r
Lost and confused I continued to walk around the area, taking in everything that was going on around me. It was foreign territory and I didn't know where anything was. All I could do was move until I found something familiar."Marissa!"Turning around I let out a long breath of relief. Kim and Max were quickly making their way towards me with confused looks on their faces."What are you doing alone? Where's Travis?" Kim asked the minute she reached me. "Don't tell me he left you to find your way around by yourself."A growl escaped Kim's throat as she spoke, her anger at Travis abandoning me evident.
"ENOUGH!" I growled, shutting Kim and Max up instantly."But, he is trying to protect that piece of shit." Kim grumbled."I don't really care what he is doing." I pointed out. "I will take care of Travis myself. I don't need you to dirty your hands, Kim.""But I WANT TO!" Kim wailed as an excited gleam formed in her eyes. "Do you know how much fun it is to chop off a man's most precious of things? "To transform him into Eunoch?"As Kim spoke, she developed a faraway look. I didn't know if she had watched something on castrating a male, or if she did it once herself, but I wasn't about to ask.
Travis continued to watch me as if he expected me to change my mind. It was only when he realized that I wasn't backing down that he let out a breath."Where to begin?" Travis sighed, rubbing his head. "Trinity, Chris, and I grew up together. As the alpha heir, my father made sure I was close to Chris, since he was to become beta. That led to me meeting Trinity as well.''Chris and I spent a lot of time together when I wasn't being forced to train or locked up by my piece of shit father. Naturally, Trinity would follow Chris around like a shadow. Being that their parents were very similar to mine, we spent a lot of time together. Chris was really all that Tr
"Just like you made me open up to you about my past, I want you to do the same with me." Travis said as I tried to push away my emotions. "It is only fair.""Right." I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Yeah, it is only fair when feelings are mutual, right?""What did you say?" Travis asked, his eyes growing wide. "Repeat that.""I'm not repeating myself." I growled, my gaze narrowing. "You heard me the first time.""Are you serious?" He asked, surging forward and grabbing my hands. "Tell me this isn't some joke.""Why would I joke?" I
"You're back?" Kim asked, eyeing me as I stormed into the room.Huffing, I ignored her question and plopped down on the bed beside her. Laying down, I let a loud growl escape me.Saying that I was frustrated was an understatement. I was pissed, I was annoyed, I was ready to guage that woman's eyes out. All these emotions swirled through me and they were really starting to get on my nerves.If this was what it felt like to care about someone, then I didn't want to do it anymore."What has your panties in a twist?" Kim asked, leaning back beside me.
