Amongst Us

Chapter 14

Angelica's p.o.v

I have settled in pretty well, I was laying on queen size bed in my room duke allocated me which just so happened to be right across from his. My wolf was slowly coming back to me in much calmer spirits and being around duke had brought my heat on, I felt terrible I had hot and cold flushes I was anxious and every time i got a whiff of duke's scent my body went haywire, I wanted him so badly but it wasn't the right time. Duke had started staying away so I presumed he picked up on my scent being thrown at him as if he'd just walked headlong into me. It killed knowing he didn't even seem tempted to see me and my wolf wasn't liking it one bit, but I suppose at this time there were more important things to think about.

Duke had taken back all of his alpha duties and seemed more headstrong and sure of himself, I knew nothing could bring him down now. I had to grab at my blanket from the bed as I started getting a cold flush I was freezing but my temperature would have to be so high, I couldn't handle it. I'd locked myself in my room because duke and I haven't mated yet and so my scent will attract all unmated wolves around. I called to duke through the mind link, telling him I needed to see him I just couldn't handle feeling alone.

Next thing I knew he was at my door, so I stumbled over and unlocked it and as I opened the door my legs gave out and I crashed straight for the ground, but duke had grabbed hold of my waist before I hit. the warmth of his hands had lit my insides up as if I was filled with molten lava, I heard his intake of breath as if he'd been holding onto it. I stole a look at his face and our eyes connected, no matter how hard I tried to look away he captivated me in every sense possible, I heard a low feral growl come from the back of his throat, just as he had grabbed the back of my neck and forced my lips to meet his, his wolf had taken over as his eyes were nothing but black. He kicked my door shut latching the lock in place all the while kissing me as if I was going to disappear into thin air.

I finally found my footing and pulled my lips from his, earning a low growl from him.

"Duke, w-we can't d-do t-this...."

He cut me off by once again placing his mouth over mine, grabbing hold of my waist as he pushed me up against the closest wall, his hands travelled straight over the curves of my hips, over my ass and down the backs of my legs where he pulled me up his body making sure my legs were wrapped around his waist, I felt how aroused he was and in that moment I wanted him so much more, every sane thought flew out of my head with my breath as I caught it. Duke nuzzled his face into my neck, nibbling at that sweet spot, and I knew then his wolf wanted to mark me, but would mine accept it, yes sera is back but are she and coda fine. and so I asked her...

"Angelica I know we've had our moments but we both need to let him do this, he needs it... just as much as we do" sera pleaded

I looked at duke, pulled his lips back to mine, before kissing him with all the passion I had in me, and he responded.

"Duke..."

"Shh, not now Angelica, just let me have this moment for now let me enjoy it"

He'd pushed his arousal against me and I lost all train of thought, all I knew was I wanted him right now and I wanted all of him.

"Duke.. I wa..."

"Angelica please just be quiet" he growled

I stiffened at his alpha tone, he just ordered me to be quiet like I was just any random part of his pack, I couldn't pull away though the hormones going through me from the heat weren't as uncomfortable in his arms but I wasn't going to just stand there and let him order me around and so with all the courage I could muster I pushed off of him and kept him at arms length, I missed his contact straight away, but I managed to tell him to get out. he looked at me and laughed, then he's hand lunged toward me and grabbed me by the throat, he showed malice in his face as he retorted...

"This is my pack Angelica, this is my house, you don't tell me what to do...."

With that he slammed me into the wall hand still at my throat, but before I could respond his lips found mine again in a more aggressive manner, if I hadn't felt how much he needed this I most likely would have cried, he pulled back and a little flicker of pain skimmed across his features before he masked it.
