It takes all of my energy to keep my face emotionless as my name passes through his pink, plump lips.
It's as if time stands still.
There's complete silence in the wake of his words. I can't even process that he's just named me a whore. My thoughts are solely consumed by one word. Tori. The name given to me at birth. If he knows that what else does he know? A million questions swarm through my brain, but I can't focus. My mouth opens and closes like a fish out of water as I search for any combination of words I could possibly project in this moment. My gaze is still locked on his, and I can read him like a book. He's gotten the exact reaction from me that he wanted.
My peril is his pleasure.
The silence hangs over us for what feels like hours, but in reality it's only been but a minute.
" Tori is a stupid name if you ask me. Far to plain. Boring even." He hums out his thoughts.
I decide to ignore his comments. I couldn't care at all what he thinks about me. And I can tell his words have a deeper meaning. He's trying to get a reaction, hoping my rage would open my mouth and all of my secrets would come tumbling out. I'm not sure how he knows my name, but I now understand it's all he knows. One minuscule detail, and I can work with that.
" You'd like me to be your whore, wouldn't you alpha? Have I ruined all other females for you?" I bat my eyes at him innocently, and he finally releases my throat from his rough grasp.
His eyes gloss over and I can tell I've struck some kind of nerve. The alpha wants to believe he keeps his cards close to him, but I know better. He's easy to read, at least for me, and he's starting to become predictable. Or should I say boring. He exits my personal space to stand a few paces back, and it's almost as if he's just now seeing me for who I am. Actions seem to be pointless to this man. It dosent matter that I've withstood all the torture thrown my way. He's a bloodied wolf; he understands pain. It's words that confuse him. I can tell he now knows I am a force, an enigma that only death will silence. I will not back down from anything he throws at me. It feels nice to be able to silence him. It's an ego boost that was much needed.
" If you wish, I can prove to you just how untrue that is." He hisses back at me.
I smirk.
I can tell that for the duration of my stay here this will be one of our main games; words as weapons.
"By all means don't hold out for me. You'll need the company of other females to distract you from the fact that you'll never be between my legs." I almost giggle as I respond. But within these words are a promise that I've just proclaimed out loud to us both. He will never have me in that way.
His dead eyes shine again.
" is that a challenge, little one?"
I choose not to answer, but never falter my gaze away from his. He is still a predator, and I will not be his prey. Another moment of silence passes by before he speaks again.
" This is my home. You've been allowed to stay but by no means are you a free person. You'll do my cooking and my cleaning. You'll do anything I ask of you if you wish to stay living. From now on, I own you Tori." His voice holds authority and I know that his word is law. If I want Noah's plans to succeed I have no other choice than to enslave myself to this evil, beautiful creature.
" yes, alpha." I snip back.
I've never done well with authority. I hate being told what to do, but the reality is I truly have no freedoms. This man is my master, but I will be his demise.
