The Rebel
Chapter 14

She stared at him with a frustrated look as he ignored her. He was busy signing the papers.

As she signed, she slammed her knotted fist on the table, causing her pen to stop and her grip to harden.

“I will not tolerate this shit!” Let go of my hands! NOW ! “, she said, looking at him with her burning eyes, as he leaned back in his chair to finally look at her.

“No, princess. Now go sit there,” he said, not in the mood to argue. The word ‘princess’ touched one of her sensitive spots and she roared at him unexpectedly.

She almost walked across the table and grabbed his collar.

The silver chains hurt his neck in the process.

“I’m not a princess, Alpha. No way. Don’t ever call me that! »

He looked at her calmly, without reacting to her words. If anything, he loved her touch, even if it burned him.

“Offended princess?” What do you prefer then, naughty? »

She just stared at him, making his smirk disappear and establishing a dead silence between them.

“So, have you researched my story?” Aren’t you too bold? »

He didn’t like her words, crossing his arms behind her and pulling her towards him, making her forehead hit his chest.

Working on his limits to open the chains that were hurting him.

“I prefer to be protective. It’s my right to know your past without me. »

She struggled to get up, but he refused. Pinning his hands behind his back.

“However, what I found really surprised me. »

She froze, suddenly becoming silent. She stopped struggling and swallowed, meeting his cold gaze.

“Wh… What do you mean?” »

His eyes moved to the fringe placed on her cheek and he reached up to place it behind her ear.

She closed her eyes, fighting the heat that spread through her insides and the tingles exploded where he touched her.

“You are intact, Vera. No man has ever touched you. »

Her eyes suddenly opened to look at him, shocked.

How could he come to this conclusion?

He just guessed.

He just looked at her, taking in her expression, and a small smile appeared on his lips.

He had just gotten his answer, the scent of her warmth reached him and made him take a deep breath.

Whore ! It was a full moon that day.

It’s been a month since the day they first met. He couldn’t control himself that day.

But he had to, for her.

For the sake of their future, he had to fight against this.

“How…How can you say something like…”

She couldn’t finish, he placed his free hand behind her neck.

He pressed his lips to her, which intensified the heat.

Her body didn’t expect this and he devoured her deeper. Showing her how much he wanted her right now, if only she would accept him.

His wolf struggled, drowning in his mate’s scent and emotions, blinding his logic and rationality.

She tried to control herself, but failed miserably.

His lips were so soft against her, like rose petals.

But that wasn’t true, it was a blinding force that destroyed everything.

The force called desire.

Pushing him away with all her strength, she slapped him.

Hardly.

The noise echoed in the empty room, but she no longer understood anything.

She wanted to touch him, the bond was playing with her when she just wanted to run away.

Logan just stared at the ground. Trying to control his beast.

The slap was less physical and more of a mental blow to his inflated masculine ego.

He wanted to punish her, to let her know how much she hurt him, but could he?

Could he hurt her to teach her something?

“Don’t… Don’t do it, Logan… Don’t… I’m sorry, but this must never happen.” »

He could feel her emotions, she felt regret. But even more than that, she was excited. Unable to understand each other.

She breathed heavily, clutching her stomach. Her hands held onto the table for support.

” Shit ! What did you… do… It happened! she said with a look of pain, her knees almost touching the ground as she tried to balance.

Tears pricked her eyes as another wave hit her, making her hide her face between her knees, gripping her hair to release a pained cry.

Logan just looked at her, without taking a step towards her to relieve her.

He had seen her before, but this time it was his mate.

She was in heat.

And there was no going back tonight.

She would have to endure it this evening, alone, if she refused it.

The cost of not being able to mate with him after they met. The cost of the mating link which is not completed.

She had to endure everything.

The woman’s scent reached him and he clenched his fist, his palms resting on the wooden floor, trying to catch his breath.

The two struggled, but no one moved.

Knowing it was inevitable.

“The heat is starting, Vera. Let me…”

“No! “, she almost shouted, tears streaming from her eyes.

She raised a hand to stop him and he stopped there.

A slight worry appeared in his eyes, then replaced by frustration.

“You need me, Vera! ” ” Whore ! Stopped ! »

Another scream came from his lips, but his eyes… They refused to lower.

They stared at him.

“I said no, Logan!” I don’t… need you, damn…”

She was persistent and too stubborn.

Her beautiful face was in tears and her eyes were turning red.

He stopped. Placing his hands in his pockets, seeing her struggling near his feet.

Taking a deep breath, he asked her one last time.

“Yes or no, Vera. I won’t come back tonight. »

Her vision went blurry for a second, the silver chains in her hands burning her skin as she struggled in them.

Another wave and she was almost lying on the ground, her tears trailing down her cheek to fall to the floor.

She had never felt so helpless, so weak and pathetic.

Was this the effect of love on people?

What does this union do to the partners?

All she had to do was say yes and everything would disappear. It would make all his pain go away, but no.

Why him ? She didn’t need him?

She would never be dependent on a man, ever!

” No ! she said and he sighed, staring at her for a few minutes in silence.

” GOOD. If that’s what you want,” he said, turning to look at her one last time, before turning his back on her.

A servant girl stood near the threshold and curtseyed to him, he nodded to her.

He let her take care of herself like the other unmated women in heat.

Without giving it any special treatment.

The words he spoke next made Vera look at his back in disbelief.

“Take her to the dungeons and chain her up. »
