My heart was in my throat, throbbing against my jugular and pulsing through my mouth, giving me an urge to throw up. They haven't fed me any food in the last week on purpose so I had a choice between starving to death or bring Jay back to these awful creatures. 

"go on" Brandon whispers in my ear, purposely holding his fingertips on the sides of my stomach to send a tingling sensation through the throbbing pain so I was only more anxious to get away. 

I shake my head. "you can't make me. starve me to death" I shrug. "you're never getting what you want from me"

"god damn it Layla" he whisper yells.

"the name is Grace" I try to snarl like her but it sounds too weak and powerless.

He chuckles and I could feel the vibration in his chest due to how close he was. "Grace is it?"

"yes" I shiver from his breath on the back of my neck.

"If you were Grace.." he slowly swoops his neck down and presses his lips between my shoulder blades. "you wouldn't be shaking from my touch" he kisses the same spot again and he was right, my body was heavily shaking and if his hands weren't holding my hips I'd surely have fallen from lack of knee support. 

I am unable to say anything in response as my body keeps shivering and goose bumps constantly running over my skin. He chuckles then moves his face back up to my ear. "now go" he whispers harshly.

"no" I grit my teeth to keep my breathing steady. 

He growls and kicks the backs of my knees, making me fall to the ground. I groan from the contact of the dirt packed ground. Dirt goes in places it should never be due to my nakedness.

Brandon stares at me while licking his lips. I groan in disgust and scurry into a ball so he can't have the satisfaction of staring at my clothe-less body. 

"don't hide from me. I've seen you like this plenty times before" he shakes his head. 

"you've never seen me naked" I spit.

"don't be so sure" he chuckles. "did you really forget the time I marked you?" 

My eyes widen. I did forget. I thought it was Derek. But now I know that Derek loves me, Brandon is the heartless monster.

"you know, just because of that little mark on your neck.. the lust of all your mates, mine is the strongest. All because of that small bite that you freaked out over so much" he shrugs, kneeling by my side.

"wait.. what do you mean all of my mates?"

"you're the first hybrid" he chuckles. "you have several, 6 to be exact" 

"6? I thought it was only you, Derek, and Jay? who are the others"

"Lucas-"

"him!?"

"yes, listen. Carlos-"

"him too!?"

"yes, damn it. and Allen"

"Allen? who's he"

"he lives with the other blood suckers" he snarls at the mentioning of vampires. 

"he's a vampire?"

"of course. you're a hybrid, vampire and werewolf, so you need at least one vampire mate"

"what about Mark?"

"oh right, 7"

"so Mark's my mate too?"

"sure, why not" he shrugs, standing up and walking away. "are you coming" he stops but doesn't turn his head to confirm any movement from me. 

"you brought me out here to lure Jay back, did you finally give up?"

"for today, yes. but we're coming back tomorrow" he turns and looks at me sternly. "The hunger is only going to get worse, save yourself now and just go have sex with Jay so this will all be over" he sighs. 

The wheels in my head turn and a switch clicks in my brain. (a switch, not the switch) 

"you care about me?" 

"of course, I'm your mate. I can't help it" he shrugs. 

I stand and walk over to him. "you love me?" 

"do I have a choice?" he raises an eyebrow. 

"no, I guess not.. but I never really thought about your emotions before" I shrug, inching closer to him. 

"My switch isn't flipped, I still care. I'm not as heartless as you think, I'm just following orders"

"and the orders were to bring me here"

"correct"

"but did he say what we have to do here?" I look over his body seductively while biting my lip, in hope that I would spark something in him. 

He lets out a breath and it comes out shaky. 

I'm almost there..

"no, he didn't clarrify.."

"so.." I got so close to him that my bare chest was pressed against his tight black shirt, hugging his rock hard chest. 

"you don't know what you're doing" he shakes his head and tries to look confident, but is getting lost in my eyes. 

He's a real softy underneath all that sired bond he has with his Alpha. 

I stand on my tip toes and move my face closer to his, very slowly. I keep my eyes glued to his, but his are looking at my lips. "you can kiss me if you want" I say slowly, moving my lips carefully. 

"it'll start something I won't be able to stop" he shakes his head, his words directed more to himself than me. 

"we both know you want to" I whisper. I lift my arm and bring my hand to the back of his head, moving it forward as a little push to get him to kiss me. 

"don't do this to me" he shakes his head, his eyes still glued to my lips. 

"just a little further" I whispered. 

I moved closer and let the pressure off of his head, leaving the last push to him. If I want this plan to work then he's going to have to kiss me without me moving his head for him, he's going to have to want to do it. 

I part my lips just a little and run my fingers over the back o his neck. "do it" I whisper. 

"I can't take it" he shakes his head. He jerks his face forward and presses our lips together forcefully. With our tongues battling, he moans into my mouth and I know I've won.

I've found his weakness. 

me.
