Chapter 30
Garret
The crystal vase smashed against the wall by my head. Shattering in tiny little fragments of glass that rained down over me and the unfortunate house keeper who was just outside the door.
She gave a little scream and took a step back. But didn’t move and I didn’t look at her either. My eyes were glued on my wife.
Breathing heavily and with her ponytail failing out she looked like a wild animal and she acted like one as well. That violent outburst proved that.
Slowly I tore my eyes away from her and looked at the smashed remnants of the vase at my feet. Bending down I picked up the biggest piece and held it in my hands. It was such a weird thing the memories that flooded me holding that small piece of crystal.
“This was my mothers.” My voice was a low menacing whisper but I knew she had heard because I heard the sharp intake of breath.
“Julian. I’m sorry-“ she started to say.
My head snapped up. I speared her to the spot with my eyes and she winced back like I had struck her.
She was lucky I didn’t strike her. Maybe it would put her in her place and make her behave.
Except I wasn’t that man. I wouldn’t lose control and become the monster she thought i was.
No.
I had other ways to make Skye pay.
I took a step forward, holding the shard of glass in my hand like a knife and Skye backed up, her eyes saucer round and terrified.
“This is priceless.” Another step and another growl. Skye had no where else to go. The wall was at her back and she couldn’t push past me to run away but I knew she wanted to. I could see it in her eyes.
She wanted to run.
“It is irreplaceable.” I stepped into her space. Lifting my hand threateningly.
“Julian no.” Behind me the housekeeper screamed but I ignored her.
“You are replaceable Skye.” Lowering my head I breathed in the smell of her. Not just the smell of her skin which drove me crazy but the stench of her fear.
And I kind of liked it. It was one of the reasons I was on a mission to scare and anger her every time we were together because it changed her scent and it woke up something inside of me that had been long buried.
Not lust, that didn’t cover it. What I felt was so much more violent and primal than that.
I wanted to possess her. Make her bow down and worship me.
I wanted skyes submission.
Not in a sexual way I told myself , but in life.
“Then do it.” Defiantly she lifted her chin and glared up at me. “Do it and put us both out of our misery.”
She was taunting me because she didn’t realise the danger I was in.
“You will learn-“
Reaching up she stood on her tiptoes which only brought the top of her head to just under my chin and growled. Her lips pulled back over even white teeth.
“Oh will I? Well you must be a crappy teacher because all I’ve learnt from you is the fact you’re a entitled , self absorbed asshole.” She yelled it right into my face. Split flew from her lips and landed on my cheek.
Absently I wiped it off my cheek before turning my eyes back on her. “You will show me respect.”
Her eyes flashed but they weren’t her human eyes. Her wolf was looking at me with its pale blue orbs.
Her wolf had beautiful eyes but that wouldn’t sway me. Tonight Skye had gone too far and she would pay for it.
She dropped into a low curtsy. Totally taking me by surprise. “Oh I am sorry your highness.” Her voice dripped with the kind of sarcasm that stung. “Will you please forgive me.” She stared at me from under her curling eyelashes and any control I had over my temper snapped.
Roaring I closed my hand around her throat and lifted her upwards until her pretty blue eyes bulged and her toes scrambled to her to the carpet.
“Prince Julian no.” Two small hands began tugging on my arm but they weren’t Skyes hands. They were the housekeepers. Swivelling my head towards her I growled out a warning. Putting all of the power of my alpha status into it and she shuffled backwards with her eyes locked on the carpet. She was crying though. I could see the tears falling from the tip of her nose.
Skye wasn’t crying though. Her eyes were as defiant as ever. She couldn’t breathe but her arms never moved from her side.
If anything she looked calm.
“Beg for my forgiveness.” I flexed my fingers around her throat. Giving her just a second to breathe before I closed my hand again.
But I knew deep down that she wouldn’t beg. Skye just wasn’t the begging type.
I kind of respected that about her. That even in the face of death she was defiant.
Skye smiled. It was the first hint that she was up to something. The second was the ripple of her smooth skin under my hand.
Her shift was so fluid, so graceful that for a second I was in awe and then I lost my grip on the slender female throat and was pushed backwards by her giant wolf.
It happened so quickly that I had hardly registered what had happened before she had ridden me to the floor and bounded out of the room. The sound of her paws on the stairs was loud.
Climbing to my feet I laughed. Skye was a fool if she thought she could get away from me in wolf form. I was twice her size and four times as strong.
Lifting my mouth to the ceiling I howled from my human lips and let the change happen and then I was after her.
Skye was fast, but I knew I was faster.
By the time I had reached the back doors she was already halfway across the manicured lawn and heading at full sprint to the forested mountain that loomed over head.
She wouldn’t make it though.
Clacking my teeth I gave chase. The grass was wet under my paws and it scented the air with a tangy freshness but it wasn’t that scent I was suddenly fixated on.
It was Skyes
Because by running she had finally let loose that primal part of me that wanted to come alive around her. The part of me that said I was predator and she was my prey.
My wolf wanted to hunt her down.
I caught her ten foot into the forest. Shifting back to my human form mid leap and catching her back paw I slammed her to the ground with so much force that her wolf disappeared and she stared up at me with her human eyes.
“Shouldn’t have run little rabbit.” I murmured as I crushed her body into the moss covered ground with mine.
“You’re a bully Julian.” She panted. “A bully of women and anyone who you think is weaker than you. But I am not weak.”
Everything seemed to go quiet. Like the forest and the world itself had fallen asleep and there was only me and her and the sound of our laboured panting breaths.
Glancing down I saw the swell of her breasts crushed against my chest. Her naked body pressed down under mine for the first time and I had to admit to myself that she felt good. Soft in all the right places.
Take her, my wolf seemed to snarl in my ear. Claim
Her she is ours.
I silenced him. Skye was ours but not in the way he was suggesting. She wasn’t THAT
Still it felt nice to have her submission finally and to feel the warmth of her naked heated skin under mine.
Leaning down I nipped at her earlobe and was rewarded by the smallest of moans.
“I am not a bully of woman Skye.” I bit it again. Slightly harder this time. “I am a bully of you.”
