I drop my chin before lifting my head and biting his neck at the same time I jam my claws into his ribs. I feel my claws press between his ribs yet he doesn’t move until I rake them down his sides, feeling his flesh tear as warm liquid spreads across my fingers and my claws slip into his abdomen. I bite him again this time on his shoulder where it meets his neck where it is softer and he jolts trying to rip away but I shake my head and he suddenly jumps off shifting back and I hear laughter. My chest heaving and
I glared at Andrei who was crouched next to me laughing at me.
“I couldn’t breath *sshole” I tell him sitting up.
“You were fine, you were just panicked, Donnie would have got off if he thought you were in danger of suffocating” Andrei says as I pick fur off my tongue and from between my teeth.
I got up. I am pissed off and start walking back toward the pack house when I am tackled from behind. I lurch forward as arms wrap around my shoulders when Andrei suddenly turns and I land on top of him instead of on the hard ground.
“Andrei stop it you are pissing me off” I tell him as I squirm trying to get off him but he holds me in place a devious smile on his lips which just pisses me off more as I try to get out of his grip. I scratch my claws down his sides and he hisses before laughing and pressing his face in my neck.
“Andrei f*cking stop” I scream at him enraged that he was doing this. Tears burn my eyes and I am shoved back into my head, memories of being pinned down and restrained by monsters flooding m e and I start thrashing and screaming and clawing and biting him, anything to get out of his clutches. Memories of their bodies pressed on top of mine, their putrid breath as they breathed on me, the feel of their hands clawing at me when his grip suddenly loosened and he groaned before he rolled over.
“Shh, shh. I didn’t mean it, I was just playing” Andrei says, cupping my face as tears rolled down m y face as I tried shaking the memories away.
Regret flooded me and fear and sadness, the emotions confusing me as Andrei whispered to me. My heart was pounding in my chest as I suddenly became overwhelmed.
“Shh just breathe Sage, I got you no one will hurt you” Andrei whispers and he presses his face into m y neck. His scent overwhelming me but also soothing as I inhale his deeply letting the smell of him calm me.
“Just breathe ” He whispers and I blink back my tears looking up at the clear sky. Warm liquid runs across my cheek and a drop hits my eyelid as I blink before realising I had hurt him. I start shaking, wondering if he was going to be mad.
“That’s it, calm down, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to freak you out, I won’t ever hurt you Sage” He whispered before sitting up on his elbows. Regret smashes into me again and my brows furrow the emotions foreign to me. Andrei brushes my hair from my face and my eyes snap to his.
Andrei was watching me and I could see how bad he felt. Warm liquid drops on me before I realise he is bleeding. I swipe at my face and Andrei suddenly clutches his neck and my eyes go to his neck and he pulls his hand back looking at it before his eyes dart to me. A gasp escaping him, yet my eyes are stuck on his neck horrified at what I had done.
“Sage?” He says his voice panicked.
“Is that why you did it?” I ask, my heart thumping rapidly in my chest.
“No that wasn’t my intention, I was just mucking around” He says quickly as I try shoving him off.
“Sage, please listen. I never intended for you to mark me ” He says while I try shoving him off me again shoving my elbows against his chest, he rolls letting me up. I look around to find the paddock clear and everyone gone and I realise he ordered them away.
“Sage I swear, I didn’t. I wouldn’t force you to mark me” I ignored him walking off across the field heading toward the packhouse. Tears burned my eyes as I realised that freaking out I had marked him, sealed myself to him.
“‘Sage, please I didn’t mean for that to happen”
Andrei says chasing after me. I could feel his emotions pouring into me, feel his panic, feel he was telling the truth but it didn’t change that I marked him. Didn’t change that if he hadn’t tackled me I wouldn’t have freaked out and accidently marked him.
Andrei POV
” Sage please wait” I called out to her as she took off, though I was surprised that instead of taking off for the forest she was actually going home back to the pack house. When I first brought her outside I was a little worried she would run and she looked like she would when I brought her closer to the forest.
I catch up to her, easily falling in line with her. ” Look I’m sorry I didn’t mean to freak you out” I tell her reaching for her hand and am surprised when she doesn’t pull away.
“Why are you apologizing? I marked you not the other way around” She says, her cheeks turning red.
Was she embarrassed or angry, both? It was so hard to tell with her sometimes, she was so hot and then cold the next. I knew it wasn’t her fault and if roles were reversed I wouldn’t trust me either. Her vibes suggested she was ticked off but the blush on her cheeks made me think otherwise when she wouldn’t meet my gaze, her eyes staring straight ahead and she actually led me back to the packhouse stopping next to the door.
“What did Donnie do to Sierra?” She asked and I felt bile rise in my throat. I let her hand go and placed my hand on the scanner, preferring to have this conversation inside at least she couldn’t escape me.
The door opens and I place my hand on her lower back giving her a little push but she doesn’t move, instead folding her arms across her chest and glaring at me defiantly, I was shocked she is so timid but she clearly didn’t like that I upset her wolf, finding it funny she was so protective of her wolf when they are technically the same person yet the first place she turns to is her wolf form when she is petrified of me but now she was demanding I tell her.
“I will tell you but inside please”
“Why can’t you tell me out here?” She says her tone is sharp. I fought the urge to smile as much as it irritated me, her wolf may fear me at the moment but it was clear the bond was working because no matter how terrified she was of us she looked quite firm now and unafraid. Deciding not to lie to her I tell her.
“Because I worry you will try and run when I tell you, she took it the wrong way, please just come inside
Sage” I ask her motioning for the door, but my words must have made her uneasy as she stared at the door before looking back at me. She swallows now wondering if it is a good idea to go inside but she hesitates a moment before stepping inside. I leave the door open deciding to see if she would run, maybe if she doesn’t feel like a prisoner the temptation to leave will leave her when she realizes she can walk out the door anytime. She looks at it as I walk past her.
“You’re not going to close it?” She says, making me stop and turn to look at her but she was closing the door before she turned around, her fear wafting to me which confused me because she was the one shutting the door.
“I think she fears what’s outside more” Donnie tells me just as she turns around to face me. She looks at me nervously and I watch her.
“You could have left it open” I tell her but she shakes her head.
“What if someone got in”
“Someone or one of my pack members?” “Anyone” She whispers so low I barely heard her.
“Anyone or other men?” I ask her knowing the answer but I wanted her to acknowledge the fact she just locked herself in the house with me.
“You wont hurt me, well you don’t want to anyway” She whispers.
“My pack won’t hurt you, they aren’t monsters Sage, Zane hasn’t hurt you”
“No but he says weird things” She states, making my brows furrow.
“Like what?” I ask her. She shrugs before answering, stepping closer, she can’t fear my Beta. I know
Zane would never harm her and is already protective over her, he knows a pack needs a Luna.
” I don’t know, it’s like he wants me to fear you” She says and I ponder her words.
“What sort of things does he say that bothered you?” I ask her.
“Nothing really, just that I shouldn’t upset you” She answers and I sigh. He is talking about Angie. I loved Angie and I still love her and probably always will, but she liked pushing my buttons but she grew up differently then I did. Woman didn’t have much say in my pack but now I would do anything to have her attitude and rage back just to hear her voice again. Yet losing her brought me Sage and I won’t make those mistakes again.
“Angie upset me a lot and liked to get under my skin” I chuckle remembering she would challenge me on everything, everything she had an opinion on but I know she was raised to be a strong independent woman and looking at Sage she was the complete opposite. Sage was timid and frightened and knew nothing but pain. She was suppressed not only by those that harmed her but also herself, ruled by her fear and I didn’t want her to fear me or anything. I wanted her to know she would always be kept safe with me.
“You hurt her then?” She asks, chewing her fingernail. I shake my head.
“No of course not but the day she died we had a fight, so I thought I would teach her a lesson for trying to overrule me and locked her in the packhouse with my Beta. She was causing quite a stir with the other she-wolves and they were going against their mates. So I thought if I punished her by locking her up they would back down”
“Did they?” She asks.
