Chapter 17

"Are you sure?" Bone asked.

"Yes."

"I just want to make sure. Once I mark you my wolf-"

"Bone, I don't care. I just want to be with you,"I said.

   Bone nodded, sitting down in his bed. He moved me so that I was stradling his waist. I blushed realizing how close we were. Taking time to calm myself, I took a quick survey of Bone's room. The walls were a light grey, with large windows. By the window was a small seating area and to the right was a door and next to that was a dressor. The room was very plain for a caveman Alpha guy.

  Bone ran his hands up and down my arms, soothing me. Bone moved my hair away from my shoulders. Bone wrapped an arm around my waist, drawing me closer.I didn't say anything.What could I say in a situation like this?

   Bone trailed light, feathery kisses down my neck until he reached where my neck and shoulder met. I gripped his shoulders, tensing up.

"It's okay, I'll make it quick," Bone said, rubbing my back.

   Bone's lips met my neck. I shuddered when I felt his teeth. Swiftly, he bit down, sinking his teeth into my neck. I took a sharp intake of breath, that SERIOUSLY HURT.  I groaned out as Bone withdrew his teeth, and started cleaning the wound with his tongue.

   Odly this action brought me comfort. My neck was throbbing like hell, a dull ache setling over me.

"It hurts," I whimpered, my voice cracking.

"I know, but I'll make it go away,"

"How?"

"Just watch."

   Bone gently lay his hand on the bite. Suddenly, I felt a pulling sensation. I shivered, it felt as if all pain had left my body and a pleasent warmth flooded me. I sighed in content.

******************************

That night, I couldn't sleep. It seems like everything that has happened is replaying in my mind. It can be easy to ignore, but memories still flood my head.

   I decided to just get a glass of water. No point in laying here. I made sure not to wake Bone. I padded downstairs and to the kitchen as quietly as possible.

   Reaching the kitchen, I got a glass from the cupboards and filled it with ice. I chewed on the ice, contemplating life more.

"Funny to see you here," a voice said.

   I jumped, half the ice spilling out my cup. Turning, I probably became a ghost as soon as I saw who was behind me. Seb.

"What are you doing here?"I asked.

"You reek of him," Seb muttered, ignoring my question.

"Who? Bone?"

  
   Seb didn't answer. Instead, he came closer. Before I could react, he had lifted my hair up and away from my neck.

"So he marked you," Seb said, his eyes glistening with anger.

     He turned, slamming his fists down on the marble island, cracking it. I jumped, what was his problem?

"You aren't my mate, even though you pretended to be, so don't get angry," I said, taking a slight step back.

   Seb looked crazy. His eyes looked so dangerous. Almost like he could snap at any moment.

"That's okay, because I have a trump card of my own."

"What?"

   What could it possibly be, Why does Seb want to be the Alpha so bad?

   Seb chuckled darkly. His muscles flexed like he was holding himself back.

"Just think. Of a certain someone who showed up here not too long ago. But oh, where is she?"

   Beth... He was talking about Beth. How had I forgotten? It was as if her existence had slipped my mind. How could I forget, especially after the rouge attack? Anger bubbled up inside me.

"Where is she?" I demanded to know where my sister was.

"Ohhh, I don't know."

"Seb I swear if you hurt her I'll kill you. Leave my sister out of this! She is innocent!" I screeched.

  Pure panic surged through me. If anything, ANYTHING, happens to her it will be my fault.

"She's the perfect bargaining chip! This hurts you, which hurts Bone! That means I win!" Seb exclaimed.

"Seb, please don't hurt her. She has to be okay! She's all I have here of family! Don't take her life from her. If you kill someone it should be me!"

"Ya wanna know why you didn't remember? I played with your mind. Let you forget. She's been heart broken. She knows everything your doing, she thinks you've abandoned here,"Seb said, his tone insincerly sad

  "SHUT UP!"I yelled.

"SEB STAND DOWN!"

   Bone.He was standing behind me. I didn't dare turn around. Even though I wasn't facing him, I could still feel his power.

"I am my Alpha. I stand down to no one!" Seb snarled, and with that he disappeared.

   How was I going to get Beth back now?
