I'm the Alpha's Mate

Chapter 16

I was carefully placed on the couch as if I was a piece of thin glass. My headaches are like crazy.

After setting me on the white leather couch Ryujin turned to the terrified guard laying on the glass-covered floor. The guard's eyes grew wide as Ryujin roughly picked him up and held him against the wall by his neck.

"Ryujin stop!" I shouted at her and flew off the couch. The pain of moving my shoulder was almost unbearable, it must be dislocated. So I held it with my other hand and winced at the throbbing discomfort.

"You must learn your lesson." Ryujin hissed in the guard's ear.

All too quickly she spun the guard around and twisted his neck, sending a gruesome cracking noise through the house.

"No!" I screamed and ran to the limp body laying on the dark wood floor.

Before I could try to save the obviously dead man, Ryujin's arms grabbed me and dragged me away. I kicked and squirmed but there was no luck.

Feeling the same hands that killed a man in front of me around my body made me sick.

"She did it to protect us! Lucy said

She just killed someone!" I yell back at Lucy. How could she possibly think that was in any way reasonable. That was barbaric! Inhuman! I never want her to touch me ever again! Being her mate is no longer a sacrifice, but a sin.

It's hard to think that about two hours ago she was kissing my cheek and begging me to be careful. Suddenly I was pushed through her office doors and Ryujin lets go of my body. But before I could run she gripped my wrist.

She picked up the wireless phone sitting on her desk and dialed a number.

"Yeonjun, get someone to clean up the body in my living room." As quick as the conversation she hung up and tossed the phone back onto the wood surface.

"Let go of me!" I struggled to get my wrist free from her grasp.

Swiftly she changed our positions and I was now pushed against her desk, facing her. I stared deep into her emerald eyes, they seemed to hold so much anger.

"He deserved it," Ryujin answered my unasked question. She doesn't even seem fazed by the blood on her hands, the life she ripped away.

"You're a monster." I seethed at her and attempted yet again to get free.

"Stop it!" She barked at me, causing me to slightly jump back. "Let me go!" Ryujin moved closer to me, our bodies now millimeters apart.

"Don't touch me," I whispered with disgust even though I desired more and more.

She only moved closer, now pressing her chest against mine. Ryujin ran her fingers down my back, causing my wolf to purr in pleasure.

"Don't touch me!" I mutter louder. "You know you crave my touch, it's irresistible." Her hot minty breath fanned the side of my cheek. "Soon you'll be irrepressible around me."

I felt so weak around her and I hate it. Screw this whole "Luna responsibilities" crap, I'm handling this my own way.

"You're right, I just can't help myself." I whimper and skim my lips along her smooth neck. Surprised she steps back with a raised eyebrow and an amused smirk. I look up at her with innocent eyes and a pouted bottom lip.

Just as her eyes concentrate on my lips I swiftly knee her as hard as my muscles could handle right in her family jewels. Immediately her face cringes up and I slip away as she grips onto the desk.

As quickly as possible I run down the hallway and into the living room. Yeonjun and other guards are scattered around the room. Two men are picking up the lifeless body and others are still trying to take in what happened.

In the corner of the room is a pregnant young woman crying her eyes out. His mate. My heart instantly crumbles and I head toward the crying woman. When I first approached her she seemed confused, then she probably realized who I was.

"I'm so sorry," I mumble. "I tried to stop him, but I could've done more."

She glanced up with puffy red eyes and tears rolling off her cheeks. "Thank you, Luna." She sounded damaged. She's pregnant and finds out her mate has been murdered. I couldn't even imagine what she must be going through.

A strong hand gripped my good shoulder sending pleasure through my bones. I've spun around so fast that I can't comprehend what's in front of me.

A rough hand collides with my cheek and I fall to my knees. My skin stings and burns. I've never been hit. The room fills with gasps and looks of horror. I caress my pulsing cheek and let a cry slip from my lips.
