Zyon: The Alpha Of The North

Chapter Twenty-Four

With his canines still positioned against my neck, he whispers, "Hold your arm up, Katherine."

I lift my arm up slowly. He motions to Doctor Ramsey to move closer and draw blood. I see them cautiously move towards me. Another doctor grabs a fresh syringe from the draw.

I feel tears begin to pool in my eyes. I don't want him to see me cry. "Please don't do this. I don't want my wolf back." I whisper.

He doesn't say anything, his grip around my waist just tightens and he drags a canine down the length of my neck in warning. Before I know it, the doctors have taken a few samples of my blood and are bandaging up my arms where I have cuts. I wonder if they're going to bandage up his head, until I realize that he has Alpha healing and would be healed by now.

I feel his canines retract as he straightens himself up and removes his arms from around my waist.

"You are under Alpha Command. You will not mention anything to anyone about my mate's condition or the way in which she just disrespected me." I hear him address the room.

Disrespect? He has the audacity to talk about disrespect when he literally forced me to give up blood samples. If anything, he disrespected me, I was just acting in self-defense. He walks out of the room, and I just follow. There's nothing more I can do other than follow. It's not like I have anywhere else to go.

As the elevator doors close, leaving us alone, he turns to me. I'm thrown against an elevator wall as he growls out "I will not tolerate any disrespect from you, especially when we are in front of other people. Do you not understand how packs work? You will not challenge my authority like that, mate or not, in front of others."

"You literally just forced me into giving blood samples. And you demand respect from me?"

"I do, Katherine. I demand it and I expect it. Do not think that just because you are my mate, I will let you off for this behavior. I have tolerated enough."

I just scoff and roll my eyes as he drags me out of the elevator, into the car and speeds the whole way home. If I thought his speeding the first time was bad, this was a hundred times worse. It was like he was trying to kill us.

As he drives back into the basement, he turns to me and says, "Get dressed for dinner, and join me in the dining area. We will deal with the repercussions of your actions after dinner."

"Repercussions?" I question.

But he doesn't respond. He gets out of the car and walks towards the pack-house.

I find my way back to Zyon's room. As always Lita and Rita are waiting to assist me. They have an outfit ready for me and before I know it, im dressed in a high rise baby-pink mini skirt, paired with a white full sleeve blouse. They put my hair up into a tight high pony-tail and add a bit of colour to my cheeks and lips.

While they dress me, I find myself just staring at myself in my mirror. Was this what the rest of my life was going to be like? Zyon controlling my every move? The mate bond forcing feelings of attraction and love for him? Me wondering whether I enjoy my time with him or if I hate him?

I just feel entirely conflicted. I'm unaware of what to do with myself. I feel at a loss after years. Would I get my wolf back? I needed to sit down and talk to Zyon tomorrow, about how this was going to work. That he should take another. It just made sense. I'm sure he didn't want the rest of his life to be like this either.

But the thought of him taking another? Did I really want him to take another? Why wasn't I willing to give him a chance at all? Maybe I could be happy with him? What about Daniel? I had wanted Zyon for years and yes, he had considered taking another, but he didn't know about me. I couldn't entirely blame him for the Moon Goddesses curse either. Perhaps my life would never have spiraled so out of control if I had known Zyon was my mate at a normal age. It would have been different if I found out when I was eighteen like everyone else. Maybe I should consider giving this a shot? Goddess knows, a part of me, though I didn't want to admit, so wanted this. A part of me wanted this life with Zyon.
