The Alpha's Virgin Possession(3)

“Yes.”

He released the lead and climbed out. Staying in her seat, Clara waited for him to let her out. She wouldn’t dare make a run for it. He opened the door, and she got out, waiting for him to give her more instructions. The thought of feeling any more pain kept her from running. She’d suffered enough pain to last her a lifetime, and she wasn’t into any kind of weird fetish of feeling pain.

“Follow me.” He headed inside the house. No one was in sight, and from the look and smell of the place, no other pack member was here. “Dean, I’m back,” he said, shouting out.

Nick removed his jacket then reached out.

Unable to stop herself, Clara flinched away from his touch.

“I’m not going to hurt you.”

Nodding, she stayed still as he took the leash from around her neck. “Does it hurt?” he asked.

She shook her head. The pain would soon ease.

“You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“No, the pain will go away in no time.” She glanced up at him.

“Is this the woman you just bought?”

A large man was walking downstairs. He wore a white shirt and a pair of scruffy jeans.

“Yeah.” Nick wrapped his fingers around her neck, pulling her close.

“Well, you’re back, and you’re alive. Did anything happen I need to know about?” Dean said.

“No, nothing happened that he didn’t bring on himself.”

“What do you mean?” Dean asked, looking nervous.

“I took care of business. I’m not pack anymore, and any problems can come to my fucking door. I don’t care what anyone says.” Nick’s voice was harsh, demanding, and she detected a hint of hurt.

“Shit, you’re right, I’m sorry.” Dean rubbed the back of his neck with a flush to his cheeks.

“Don’t worry about it.”

She watched Dean grab his jacket from the back of the door and was on the way out when he stopped as Nick started to talk.

“Tell the packs that if they want to fuck with me then fine, fuck with me, but warn them, I don’t play by the fucking rules. They start, they’ll end up dead.”

“Nick…”

“No, I mean it, Dean. I’m done playing their games. They want to play, then I’ll play them, but I’ll do it my fucking way.”

Dean looked sad, glancing at her before nodding his head.

“See you soon.”

“You will.”

The door opened then closed, leaving her alone with a man who’d just threatened at least two packs that she knew of.

“Now, we can have some real fun,” he said, keeping a grip on her neck and leading her toward the stairs.

Her nerves picked up, and she started to fight him.

“Please, let me go. I’ve done nothing wrong. I’ve always been good.”

Nick caught her around the waist, holding her arms by her sides.

“Stop!” He yelled the word, and she had no choice but to stop.

They were the only two people in the room, but she knew deep in her core he was the alpha. She couldn’t argue with him even if she wanted to. He was the man who made the rules.

“You’re not going anywhere, so stop fucking testing me. No one wants you but me. You’ve got no one but me, and it’s time for you to start realizing it.” He shouted the words in her face, and she couldn’t stop the tears from filling her eyes and then falling down her cheeks. Every word he spoke was the truth.

She was at his mercy, and there was no way out of it.





Chapter Two



Nick felt the fight go right out of her. Loosening his hold, he waited for her to submit. Her head bowed within seconds of her body relaxing. Releasing his tight grip, he tilted her head back to look at him.

Clara’s scent and body didn’t repel him at all. Buying a wolf online had been troublesome, and he had been worried about what she would look like. The only word to describe Clara was beautiful. Her family didn’t see what a prize they possessed. Many wolf males, even alphas, would have taken her off their hands.

Their loss was his gain.

Tears fell down her cheeks, cutting him up at the sight. “Don’t cry.”

“I’m not allowed to feel now, either?” she asked.

She looked completely lost.

Staring into her eyes, he was struck by the glorious shade of green. Running his thumb across her smooth cheek, he moved toward her lips. She showed no sign of jerking away. Her lips were plump, heart-shaped. He couldn’t wait to see how they felt pressed against his own.

“You’re allowed to feel whatever you like, but know this, I will never hurt you.”

“You just paid money for me. What am I supposed to think?”

Letting out a breath, he took hold of her arm and led her upstairs. Yes, he’d paid money for her, but he wasn’t a complete animal.
