Tamed – Part lV
"Repeat those words again, Ophelia! I dare you!" He snarled.
"I will find someone else to appease my needs. You could stay here and jerk yourself or bring Ivy with you."
"Have I ever said anything like that to you? Have you ever heard me utter such words to you with such blunt disrespect!" He snarled, and she glanced down, unable to bear the heat of the scorching browns.
"Answer me!"
"I would like to leave!"
“This is the last time I’m warning you, Ophelia. Never come back here.” He said as he withdrew himself. He turned on his feet without another glance.
“Why is it that I am the one who loves you more? Why is it that I am the one who has to wait for you, yearn for you? Why is it that you don’t love me the way I love you?” She asked in a dejected voice, tears slowly streaming down her face.
“I did this because I love you. I did this to protect you.”
“No! You are lying! You find it so effortless to just abandon me! You do not need my love! He deserves it!”
“Whom?” He asked with wide eyes and a clenched fist.
“Your beast.”
“No! You belong to me! And me alone! You are mine!”
“I am yours as much as I’m his. You have to accept it. You have to accept him.”
“You belong to me, Ophelia. If my words are not enough to prove that, come here, I’ll prove it to you.” He snapped as he took a step forward.
“Do you see this mark, Onyx? I feel him now. I’m not scared of him anymore.” She could hear his breath hitch as he saw the dried wound on her tan skin.
“He almost killed you and took you away from me! He hurt you twice! He doesn’t deserve it!”
“He is your equal! He is the other part of who you are! All your life, all you did was push him away, lock him away! What would you do if I had a wolf? Would you not love her?”
“I would! She would belong to me as much as you.”
“Your beast belongs to me too! And I know he won’t hurt me again!”
“Stop talking on his behalf! You don’t know him! You don’t know what he is capable of!” She could feel anxiety coming off of him.
“He will listen to me, Onyx. I’m going to prove that to you.” She declared as she took a few steps back.
“Stop, Ophelia! Don’t do it!”
After taking a deep breath she dove deep into the vast ocean and sank into the heaven the beast had created.
“Ophelia!” Onyx cried her name in warning.
"Komm bei mech, mäi Mann!" Ophelia screamed out and he fell to his knees grunting in agony. He clutched his head and she knew the inner war between him and the beast had begun. She witnessed how her other half battled the beast with everything he has inside. He will allow his beast to shift without a fight. He refuses to give up. (Come to me, my male!)
“Let him come to me, Onyx.” As if her voice was the light to the beast’s path, she heard Onyx’s bones breaking one after another and slowly fur sprouted breaking through his skin. Sharp claws and canines struggled through his paw and gums. Under the moonlight, the beast is once again born gazing down at her with his golden eyes. His power and dominance oozed out of his pores.
She could hear the gasps of her family from behind her and they slowly sink to the ground on their knees. Even Arderás was on his knees for the beast was the true Alpha of their lands. The beast held his head high in pride and his chest is puffed as his calm golden orbs are set on her body. The beast walked closer to her with confidence and when he was near enough, Ophelia slowly sat up on her leg on the floor. He cautiously tracked her every movement and moved closer to her. His eyes lingered on her neck and she knew what he wanted. She bared her neck for him and he set his wet muzzle on the skin of her neck. Sniffing and studying his artwork. His damp tongue lapped across the healed scar and heat surged through her body. He licked her entire neck, cheeks and lips and moved down to her breasts and still flat belly. His muzzle nudged the fabric covering her belly and she swept the clothing away, uncovering her still flat stomach for him. He licked and purred in contentment and after a while, he pulled back. He sat down on his hind legs.
“You have to promise me that you will behave and not create any more turmoil for me and Onyx.” At her word, the beast growled with rage and irritation.
“In return, I promise that he won’t seal you away and free you whenever you desire. And I-I will love you as much as I love Onyx.”
Her word froze him on his spot and his golden eyes plunged at her trying to learn the truth. She lifted her hand to touch his silky looking fur but he slightly moved back and hissed. Ophelia's eyes widened as she drew her hand back. She locked her gaze on the beast as he scrutinized her. She could feel four pairs of eyes on the back of her head, watching her and the beast interact. She swallowed as the time felt excruciatingly slow. When the beast leaned in and rubbed his massive head on hers, his eyes widened. As her palm felt the velvety black fur of her beast, a grin formed on her lips. The beast purred in contact and after a while pulled back. His long tongue caressed her lips and neck once more, and he pulled back with calm, affectionate eyes. Ophelia exclaimed as Onyx emerged and fell to the ground in the place of the beast. She dashed up to him and cradled him in her arms. He looked to be in pain as Ophelia drew Onyx's heavy naked body up and laid his head on her lap.
“Ophelia,” He mumbled and she stroked his face lovingly.
"Let's go. Let me take you home."
