Their Lives Now

Chapter 2.

A/N: 

I'm going to admit that I can remember zilch about TLC. I tried to reread it so that I could write this accurately but reading over my own writing makes me cringe so much that I stop reading/writing altogether until I forget about it. So, I apologised for any inconsistencies that will most definitely be in this book, I'll change it when I can stomach reading TLC :). If you see any mistakes as you're reading then let me know!

Also this will be a very short chapter and will most likely be changed once I read TLC but I thought I should throw a little post up.

Happy reading xo

Sometimes Dimitri had possessive days and some days he had possessive days.

On these days, he would have a rage filled fit at anyone so much as looking in my direction, and vice versa. He would blindfold me whenever we would be in the presence of other males so I could not see them, I could only see him when he would take the blindfold off. I didn't mind it, it was one of the few territorial things he did that caused no pain to anyone involved.

However, when I did accidentally see someone on those days, he was less than forgiving. I shivered remembering the time the blindfold slipped off and I had blinked, startled, at the sudden sunlight and had looked right at one of the guards. Dimitri had morphed into an entirely different person then, his Lycan blood very much evident. He had shifted into this Wolf, slicing the guards throat before jumping on top of me blocking my view of everyone. I was aware of the men around us scrambling away, could hear their hurried footsteps as they all but sprinted from us. I kept my eyes closed, shaking in fear for what was going to happen to me.

Dimitri shifted back to his human form and began to suck and nip at my skin, harshly tugging it with his teeth to leave the most prominent marks. Due to the werewolf healing, love bites would usually fade after a couple of hours but whatever Dimitri did to them made them stay for days, sometimes even weeks. I wasn't sure what he was doing to them to make them last as long as they were but I was sure he was determined to cause some of them to scar. Sometimes I had to fight the urge to snap at him to just scar me already so he would stop this ridiculous behaviour. The larger part of me was afraid that he would actually follow through.

His hand trailed down my side before slipping under my shift and feeling my chest. Warmth traveled from his fingers onto my skin and I couldn't help the shiver that racked my entire body at the feel.

Stupid Lycan powers.

He growled, nipping my ear harshly and twisting my nipple at the same time. I gasped and my body both jumped towards him before moving away, at least it wasn't just my head that was confused.
His hand hovered over the area of burned skin, stroking it with his thumb.  A male had once put his hand on my hip and Dimitri had flipped out. It wasn't even a sexual way, it was a quick squeeze as he said his farewells but he didn't make it very far before his head was ripped off of his body and I was being burned to remove the skin that had been touched.

'I want your skin to only have my touch, my scent, my everything. Anywhere a man touches you will be burned and replaced with my touch.' He had growled at me, nuzzling my neck. I hadn't felt any pain, he made sure of that.

Dimitri always spoke of how his possessiveness would not fade over time and to not try and change it. It was the same with the others in his family and trying to control it or minimise it only made it worse for everyone involved. I was given this speech often, as I was sure Niamh was as well. 

Today was a normal day, he was meeting with some important pack members about their inability to follow through with promises and for once I was being left behind. This was extremely rare, I was usually brought everywhere with Dimitri, especially so close after us mating. I was curious what he was going about but I was too afraid to ask, he was in a good mood today and I did not want to ruin that by saying something stupid. My behind was still sore from the remark I made last night about him being annoying. Dimitri had already left by the time I came out of the shower, the house was strangely silent.

I pulled back the curtains to peak outside and saw the armed guards guarding every inch of the property. I sighed and let the curtain fall back and quickly got changed, ignoring the tugging in my heart that my mate was not present. It was a difficult feeling to describe, I was not overly fond of Dimitri but I grew physically restless and anxious when he was not around. He grew angry and vengeful. I hummed as I walked down the stairs, set on making some breakfast and then leaving the house. 

I would try to anyways. 

I had yet to find a way to sneak out of the house but Dimitri would know, the damn Lycan was always reading my mind when he wasn't here to monitor all of my moves very carefully. I both hated it and loved it. Unfortunately for me, my body was choosing to love it today but that could have been because of our activity last night, after my 'punishment'. I reddened at the thought, clearing my throat and attempting to think of something else knowing that the guards could probably smell my arousal outside. 

I grinned as I poured my orange juice, flooding my thoughts with memories from last night and all of the lust that came with it. I was smug as I popped the bread into the toaster. 

Suck on that, Mr.Lycan. 

I could just imagine the worried look Niamh would give me if I were to mention any of this to her, she would want me to behave so that I would not be punished and remain unharmed. That was her way of dealing with things, she was slowly changing from this mindset but it was embedded too deeply into her for her to completely change. It was simply her personality. 

I was raised differently, was expected to get my way with everyone as I was a male. My family hadn't thought of me being paired with a more dominant male, especially a Lycan. I shivered when I remembered my first time seeing Dimitri, how I looked into his eyes and knew that my whole life was about to change and not for my benefit. 

I buttered my toast, keeping my thoughts open to Dimitri. I had yet to figure out how to shut off my thoughts from him and any time I had tried, I was not successful. And I was punished. 

Like always.
