Phoenix (BxB) (On Hold)

Chapter 2 - First Impressions

Phoenix's POV
Slowly, I opened my eyes, wincing in pain as I tried to move. Damn, everything hurts like hell...

"I wouldn't move just yet if I were you. It took my doctor forever to stitch you up"

I growled, ignoring him and trying my best to ignore the pain too as I shuffled into a seated position. "Fuck you" I spat, avoiding eye contact.

After my brothers both got taken, I knew it was only a matter of time before someone came for me. Looks like our generation of the family is cursed. But I won't sit around and become his play thing.

"I'd watch how you talk to me, warlock. I am the only reason you're not bleeding out in Lamar's back yard"

"My brother would have saved me" I muttered, glancing down at the IV in my arm. "And what's this for, anyway?"

"You know he's not strong enough to bring someone back from the verge of death, warlock. And that is merely a pain killer, because you were moaning like a little bitch in your sleep and it was thoroughly pissing me off"

"Your pack killed my grandma. And you killed my mother!"

"Yes, that is correct"

"Why?"

"Because she was trying to keep me from you. As for your grandma, well, your family were trying to exercise control over my pack, and we weren't having that. We won't allow warlocks to rule us, so we took the life of one of yours to get the message across"

"You bastard! I'll kill you!" I yelled, ripping the IV line out and lunging for him. The shifter just laughed, and by the time I reached where he had been standing, he was gone.

It was then that I noticed a small sparrow land a few metres away from me, before he took on his human form again.

"Now now, that wasn't a very nice introduction, was it? Hello Phoenix Harris, my name is Kaine. I would say it's a pleasure to finally meet you, but the pleasure is all yours, really"

I lunged for him again, but he just shifted like before. With a growl, I felt for my magic, and was just about to send him and his whole damn house up in an inferno when the door flung open.

A young boy who had a striking resemblance to Kaine stood there. When we made eye contact, he gave me a genuine smile, before turning to Kaine.

"What's all the racket about, brother?"

Brother? No wonder they look so alike.

"Nothing for you to be concerned about, Sam. And what do I keep reminding you to call me when we have company?"

The boy -Sam- grinned. "Oh, I do accept my most heartfelt apology, oh highest lord alpha Kaine" he sniggered, ducking as Kaine threw a book at him.

"You dare mock me in front of my new pet?! Get out, I'll deal with you later!" Kaine growled, pushing Sam through the door and slamming it after him. I could only stare in confusion. What the heck just happened?

"Now, where were we? Ah yes, let me explain your role here. Simply put, you're here to serve me, to do whatever I want" I fought the urge to roll my eyes. Ha, if he thinks I'm listening to a word he says, he's got another think coming. I'm not scared to speak my mind, unlike my twin.

"So I'm your boy toy, basically" I seethed, glaring at him.

"You said it, not me" he shrugged. "But you could put it like that, as you're mostly here to satisfy my more, primal desires, if you will"

This time, I just couldn't keep my mouth shut.

"Ha! You're insane! You think I'm just going to go along with what you say, kneel and suck your dick on command? You can go fuck yourself, you sick bastard!"

A dark look settled on the shifter's face, and he grabbed me by the collar of my shirt, pinning me to the wall. I let out a gasp of pain as the impact sent shock waves through my injured chest.

"Such a pretty face, but what a foul mouth! This is the reason I wanted your brother originally, but now I think I've decided it's a good thing that parasite got to him first. Yes, you'll be much more entertaining! I can't wait to see how you'll break"

And with that, he let go of me. I landed in a heap on the floor, and when I looked up he'd already gone.

Good- this is a perfect opportunity for me to get the heck out of here. It's a huge mistake on his part, leaving me all alone.

I am not weak.
