My Demon Mate

Chapter 4

I woke up to an annoying itch on my neck. My eyes scanned the room hoping to find a bathroom within the room, but no luck. I didn't know if it was a good idea to leave the room because what if someone saw me or what if I saw Zander, he would think that I'm trying to escape. Although I kinda did want to see him.

Me being a little mischievous I thought that I would take the risk so I opened the door slightly and looked out to see a bathroom right across the hallway that was separating us. I closed the door taking a deep breath and looked down trying to prepare myself. I noticed my clothing and I was covered in dried up dirt and grass stains, my barefeet were covered with bandages wrapped tightly. I didn't remember doing that but I mentally thanked whoever did.

I decided that I wanted a shower so I looked in all the drawers and there was hardly any clothing whatsoever. All I found kinda in my size were some briefs, sweatpants, and big white shirt. I opened the door making sure there was no one in sight and ran straight into the bathroom.

I looked in the mirror and tons of love bites on my neck. I kinda liked it. I also saw a big case a bed head. I laughed at myself and did all the necessities and started the shower and slowly removed the bandages on my feet. When I looked at my feet I saw that there were so many cuts and bruises of different shapes and sizes. They stinged and started to bleed a little when I touched them. I ignored the pain and focus on undressing myself. I took a shower and got dressed tying the back of the white shirt and putting my wet hair in a bun. I got out of the bathroom and went to my room. My room? I laughed internally on why I was going back to the room where I was being held captive to. I could've ran away and tried to escape but my gut told not to, so I listened and went back to the room.

I opened the door and saw Zander sitting down on the bed with his arms crossed eyeing me suspiciously. He was wearing regular black T-shirt that looked tight because his abs and muscles were begging to be released. He wore black pants and some black heavy-duty combat boots. We stood there in silence for a moment until he spoke. "I'm honestly surprised my love.''

I ignored the compliment and asked nervously, "About what?"

"I gave you many chances for you to escape but you didn't. I sort of expected you too, even though I would've just brought you back. I'm finding more and more reasons to love you everytime I see you. Instead of escaping you just took a shower, why?" He stared at me with his phenomenal red eyes as he smirked making me nervous.

I spoke unevenly trying to get the right words out, fiddling with the end of the white shirt, "I don't know I just- I -I..."

He patted his hand on the bed right next to him and smiled softly inviting me to sit next to him. I nodded and walked slowly towards him about to sit down until he grabbed me and pulled me violently against him so I wasn't facing him. He put one of his arms on my ribs and the other one on my lower waist. He spoke gently putting his chin on my head, "The reason doesn't matter because you passed."

Grabbing onto his arm on my waist I gulped, "What do you mean pass?"

"You see, my love I gave you a test to see if I could trust you. The test was to see if you would escape but you didn't so you pass and I'm glad."

Well I'm glad I listened to my gut. Either way I wasn't even sure that I wanted to escape. I'm not sure why but I kind of didn't want to maybe it was because I liked the way Zander treated me or how he was my mate. I know my family was worried sick over me but in a sense I didn't really want to leave and see my family. I mean I loved my family in all but I wasn't in a rush to get back to them. I felt like bad person thinking all those things but I didn't want to lie to myself or anything like that. What would Zander do if I wanted to leave, would he even let me? I highly doubt it. I wanted to look at his eyes and make him hold me because it always seemed to calm me down and make me feel okay.
