Chapter Thirty-eight
ANDREA
My legs felt like jelly as William grabbed my legs and pulled my down until I was flat on my back. I watched helplessly as he spread my legs until my insides were visible to him. He knelt between my legs on the bed, his erect member standing proudly and pointing to the ceiling. It was then I realized. I’ve never had anyone asides my husband.
“Fuck…” I swore.
“Don’t worry, we’ll get there.”
Suddenly, I felt a hot, burning sensation in my neck, as though a hot knife was placed on my mark. William threw back his head and laughed.
“What is funny?!”
“You don’t know what’s going on, do you?” He asked, leaning down to my mark, and kissing it lightly.
“What do you mean?”
“What does it mean when your mark begins to burn, Andrea?”
It took me a while, but I eventually got it. Leo was fucking someone else. I gasped and that only made William laugh even harder. I wondered who he was with. I wondered if his mark has been burning all the while I was here with William.
“I didn’t think that she would go through with it.”
“What are you talking about?” I asked him.
“Esmeralda.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
He didn’t need to offer any further explanations after that. It all made sense. That was why she had given me that shot, and had sent William in here. Does Leo think I willingly cheated on him? Why would he cheat on me?
“Don’t worry, love. I’ll make you feel really good. So good that you’ll forget that bastard.”
Tears flowed down my cheeks, and I looked away. Partly in shame, and partly in anger. Shame that I had given this man so much power over me, and anger that I had given him that much power over me. The mark began to burn harder and I gritted my teeth against the pain.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make you feel so much better.”
William lifted a leg over his shoulder, and positioned himself at my entrance. I closed my eyes and turned my face away.
“Look at me while I fuck you.”
I still kept my face turned away. I gasped when I felt him slip the tip in and the withdraw. He wrapped his hand around my neck, and forced my to face him. My eyes opened in shock as I felt him slide in to the hilt.
My eyes glazed over as he began to move, my mark blazing hot as his dick stroked and stretched my insides. I moaned and swore at the same time. Pleasure from the dick inside me, pain from the dick I mated. William growled in my ear and began to move harder. I could tell he was close, and I was right there with him. I gasped when I felt him swell inside me.
“Don’t come inside me!!!” I didn’t want this man’s baby.
William lifted himself up to his elbows, and smiled mischievously at me. That smile told me all that needed to know. I shook my head vehemently even as I ground my hips harder against him, I was really close.
“Come for me, love,” William whispered in my ear.
My body responded immediately, as though recognizing him as Alpha. My leg tightened around his waist as my orgasm washed through me. As I came down from my high and back to reality, I felt William pull out of me with a sigh. I turned my head away, the pain from my mark was now nothing but a dull ache.
I watched William from hooded eyes as he got out of my bed, and put his clothes back on. He picked up the key that he had thrown down on the floor, and unlocked the chains on my hands. My hands fell limply to my sides. Now would have been a perfect chance to try and escape but I was too sated and too hurt to attempt anything. I rolled myself into a ball, and faced the wall, waiting for William to exit my room.
“Goodbye, love.”
I listened as he left the room, and locked the door behind him. It was funny to my how fast my life had taken a turn for the worse. I wondered who Leo had slept with. Why? Was he tired of me. In the same breathe, I couldn’t really say anything, I had just let William fuck me, and what was worse, I enjoyed it. I just felt I didn’t have the right to be speaking about his infidelity.
I spent the night sulking, and woke up to the last person I expected to see. Esmeralda. I sat up in my bed and watched as she sauntered into the room like she owned the place. All weakness fled from my body, and anger took hold.
I growled at her, “You fucking bitch!!!”
I could feel my wolf rising but she couldn’t be bothered. She laughed and waved me off. It didn’t escape my notice that she had on my husband’s shirt.
“I guess you had fun with my brother last night?”
“Why would you do that?”
She shrugged and walked over stand next to me on the bed. I knelt on my bed, sitting on my knees so I could stare her down. She smiled up at me and that was when I noticed the marks on her neck. They were hickeys. She noticed me looking at them, and angled her head to give me a better look.
“You like them? Your husband gave them to me,” she answered smugly.
“What? You…”
Esmeralda smiled up at me, and that was when I lost it. I screamed and grabbed her by the neck and tossed her across the room. Anger coursed through my being, and all that was in my head was that I wanted her dead. I jumped down from the bed, and walked over to her. She sat up on the floor, coughing, and I saw a hint of blood at the side of her mouth.
“How dare you, you fucking bitch!!!”
I pushed her back to the floor and straddled her. For some reason, she found this amusing, and that only angered me more. I grabbed her neck and smashed her head into the floor. I kept hitting her head against the floor until I heard a sickening crack. I smiled as I dropped her lifeless body on the floor, and stood to my feet. I hear noises outside my door and soon enough, it is pushed open and guards gather around the body, and the last person I wanted to see walks through the door.
“Andrea, what have you done?” Leo asked, taking small, careful steps into the room.
“I should be asking you. Who the fuck did you fuck last night, you bitch?!!”
His countenance changed and his face fell. At least, he had the good grace to lower his head. He raised his head and ran his hand over his face.
“I’m sorry, Andrea…”
“Who was she?!”
Just then, Esmeralda walked through the doors, and I took a few steps back in shock. I looked back towards the lifeless body, and all the blood drained from my face. I looked at Esmeralda again, and then at the lifeless body, and my sister , Tracy was the one laying on the floor. Dead.
“Tracy…”
I knelt on the floor, and pushed the guards away to get closer to my sister. I gathered her into my arms and shook her gently, hoping against hope that she would wake up, and all would be well. With each second that passed by, she still lay lifeless in my arms, and that was when the floodgates opened. I screamed so loud that my throat immediately began to hurt. I wondered how this had happened. It was Esmeralda who had stood there some time ago.
“What’s going on?”
I looked up and there the bitch was. Our eyes met, and a smirk tugged at her lips. She had orchestrated this. Pure rage bubbled up inside me again. I wanted to kill her, I wanted to sink my claws into her throat slowly, and watch as life slowly left her. She walked over to Leo and stood next to him.
“I told you that she isn’t mentally stable. She’s too far gone,” She said to Leo.
How dare she?! I growled and lunged at her, but was pulled back by the guards and my hands were forced behind me. I growled and struggled against the powerful hands that served as restraints.
“You fucking bitch! You did this!”
“Take her to the bed, and tie her down. She’s unstable.”
I growled at the guards, “You better not. I am your queen!!!”
They ignored me and dragged me to the bed, and was tied down using the bed restraints. Esmeralda walked over to me with Leo standing a few feet behind her. She bent and tilted her neck so the marks on her neck were visible. They were red, angry marks. Marks given in the throes of hot passion. And then it clicked. It was her. She was the one Leo fucked last night. It didn’t make sense. They hated vampires. All the anger in me boiled down to pain and disappointment. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me.
“How could you do this to me, Leo?”I asked, Pain heavy in my voice.
Leo opened his mouth as though to speak, and then closed it. There was some conflict in his eyes, and I just knew that he could see the betrayal in mine.
“You did it to me first, Andrea.”
“I didn’t do anything. She did it all!!!” I struggled against the restraints.
Esmeralda chuckled and sashayed over to my mate, standing annoyingly close to him. I watched helplessly as she raised her hand to his chest, and rubbed it gently.
“You know what you felt…” she said, stepping even closer to him. “Don’t let her gaslight you.”
I screamed, “How dare you?! Tell him what you did!!”
I watched in horror as Esmeralda stood on her toes and kissed my mate, right in front of me. I watched as Leo’s eyes fluttered close as though in a spell, and I could distinctly feel my mark begin to flare. I watched through eyes blurred with tears as Leo wrapped his hands around her and pulled her in even more. I watched as he sighed and relaxed into the kiss. In the corner of my mind, I could hear someone screaming, it turned out to be me.
