Chapter 65: You Can't Change My Mind

Lendon lowered his head and devoured her trembling lips. He kissed her fiercely.
"Kendra, you are mine. You are mine forever." He repeatedly said beneath the kisses he rained over her body.
"No one can take you from me. So don't try to run away."
Kendra fell asleep during Lendon's confession of love. He took her several times until he was satisfied. Then, he snapped back to reality after a couple of hours.
Lendon looked at her and felt guilty for the first time in his life. He saw the dark bruises he left on her body.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you this way," He whispered and planted a soft kiss on her lips, hoping he could ease the pain they both suffered.
Kendra did suffer a lot, and he was cursing himself silently. When he held Kendra and walked out of the private room, it was late at night.
"My Lord, Miss Miller..." Curtis walked to Lendon, supposed to ask him, but he choked back his words when he saw Kendra had passed out.
"She fell asleep," Lendon glared at Curtis and asked, "You also know about her plan tonight?"
"I am sorry, My Lord," Curtis lowered his head, apologizing.
As Lendon wanted to say something, Kendra whispered something while sleeping. She got close to Lendon and rubbed his neck subconsciously. He barely heard what she said.
"Let's go back," Lendon felt tickled as Kendra's lips brushed his neck.
"Yes, sir." Curtis said and walked behind Lendon, "Right, My Lord, Miss Cullen passed out, and I have sent her to hospital and told her family."
"It's none of my business. No need to report about her to me," Lendon put Kendra in the car carefully and said, "Never let Kendra meet Joyce Cullen again."
Curtis nodded. He knew that Lendon hated other women as he chased them away from him.
On their way back, it was tranquil. Kendra lay in Lendon's arms and kept whispering.
Lendon frowned and wanted to hear clearly what she said. So he lowered his head.
Kendra was saying, "I hate you. I hate you."
Lendon felt annoyed and stared at her. After a while, he rubbed Kendra's eyebrows and said, "I don't care if you hate me. I won't let you go." Kendra was destined to be his. No way he will let her go, she always belonged to him.
After they got back to the castle, Lendon felt uncomfortable going back to Kendra's room.
"Mr. Martin, what's wrong?" Curtis noticed Lendon's abnormality and asked.
"I will take her back first." Lendon tried to calm down.
After Lendon walked out of Kendra's room, he felt so hot and a little dizzy. Then, suddenly, he lost his balance and knelt.
"My Lord!" Curtis shouted in panic. "Call Alexis now," Lendon said weakly.
"Yes!" Curtis said and took Lendon to the lab immediately.
Lendon sat on a chair inside the lab, and there were many apparatus connected to his body. He closed his eyes and kept a steady breath.
Alexis checked Lendon's body and felt confused. "Mr. Martin, didn't you take my pills?" He asked.
"What pills?" Lendon opened his eyes and asked. His eyes were still green.
"I have made the pills you asked me to create. And I gave them to Miss Miller. You didn't take one before having sex with her?" Alexis asked curiously. His pills should be effective.
"You gave the pills to her?" Then, finally, Lendon realized something and asked.
"She didn't tell you about it?" Alexis was confused.
"No," Lendon said and felt angry.
"Maybe she didn't find a proper chance." Alexis could sense Lendon's anger, so to appease him, he quickly made an excuse.
"No, she didn't want to sleep with me." Lendon shook his head and said. Alexis said nothing. He looked at Lendon and felt afraid. Kendra was really bold. How did she dare to hide the truth from Lendon?
"How is my body now?" Lendon asked. He knew he couldn't control his poison once he fucked Kendra. He suddenly turned into a wolf when he touched her on regular days.
"You are better at full moon night, but it gets worse tonight." Alexis looked to Lendon and said worriedly, "I have been studying those extracted fluids from Miss Miller's body, but there is no progress.
However, your condition is getting worse. And you can only take my pills once a month. I am afraid of that..."
"Don't hurry." Lendon said coldly, "Just keep her stay here. I wanted here to be with me,"
"But you rarely lost control at normal times. If I can't find a way to heal you, your family..." Alexis hesitated. What he worried most about was when Lendon's family knew the poison was on his body. The royal family wouldn't allow a beast to be the successor. If Lendon's poison were spread out, he would be in great trouble.
"No one will know," Lendon said.
"Fine." Alexis sighed and said, "These pills can control your poison for now."
During the past years, as long as Lendon lost control, he relied on pills. However, as time passed by, he needed more. And it was not good for him. If Alexis couldn't find out the cure for his poison, maybe Lendon would become dangerous by the time being. He must know the reason why Kendra could suppress Lendon's poison on a full moon night.
Alexis handed Lendon some pills. He took it and felt better. He stood up and left the lab. When he went back to Kendra's room, she was still asleep. He sat down beside the bed and murmured, "Do you want to leave me desperately?"
Kendra didn't answer Lendon, of course.
"Kendra, I won't let you leave me. Do you understand?" Lendon rubbed Kendra's face and said.
Kendra turned around.
Lendon said nothing more and just stared at her.
The following day, Kendra woke up and saw Lendon lying beside her. She recalled what happened last night and felt upset.
"I say it clearly. I want you to be mine forever."
"From the beginning, the contract is a piece of waste paper."
"I am a wolf. When I make up my mind, you can't get away from me."
His words last night played in Kendra's mind. She could feel his determination and anger.
She couldn't get away from Lendon for sure. She thought she could leave after Lendon was healed or the contract ended, but she now realized that it was impossible. Lendon told her clearly that she couldn't leave him unless he would let her go. Kendra looked at Lendon and sighed. How could she make him abandon her?
During breakfast time, Kendra was absent-minded. She looked at the food and lost her appetite.
"Why don't you eat?" Lendon put down his fork and spoon, frowned.
Kendra looked to Lendon and noticed his eyes turned to normal color. "I am not hungry." She said, avoiding his eyes.
"You must have breakfast. It's good for you. If you don't like salad, I can tell them to make a sandwich for you." Lendon ignored her tantrums. He ordered the maid to tell the chef to make a sandwich for Kendra.
After the sandwich was made, the chef put it in front of Lendon, but he pushed it to Kendra, "Have a bite,"
Kendra was surprised that Lendon was so nice to her. "Lendon, I..."
"Have a try. "Lendon picked up the sandwich and fed her. He was controlling his anger.
Kendra had to open her mouth and tasted the sandwich.
"Give it to me," Embarrassed, she grabbed his hand, trying to take the sandwich.
"Let me help you." Lendon coldly said.
"No, I can do it myself." Kendra refused.
"I want to help you." Lendon insisted.
He poured a glass of milk for Kendra and smiled.
Every time Kendra drank her milk, Lendon would also do the same.
"I want you to make some snacks for me." Lendon looked at her and said suddenly.
"Now?"
"Yes."
"I thought you didn't like them." Kendra pouted her lips. She remembered that Lendon didn't eat much last time.
"I want them now." Lendon suddenly smiled.
"Okay!"
Kendra walked to the kitchen. Looking at Kendra's back, Lendon smiled, followed her, and leaned against the door.
Kendra turned around and happened to look into Lendon's eyes. She felt shy, lowered her head, and focused on making his snack immediately.
Lendon walked to Kendra and stood behind her. He held her and put his head on her shoulder. Somehow, he felt secure when he could hug and smell her.
"Lendon," Kendra said and wanted to step back.
"Don't move," Lendon said and kissed Kendra's neck gently.
"Lendon, don't..." Kendra trembled, afraid to be seen by others.
"What? I can't touch you now?" Lendon interrupted Kendra and stared at her.
"No." Kendra lowered her head, defeated.
"Where are the pills?" Lendon asked suddenly.
Kendra was so shocked that the snack in her hands almost dropped. Then, she pretended to smile and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"You know clearly what I am talking about. Stop lying!" Lendon's smile disappeared.
Kendra clenched her fists and bit her lips.
"You hide them so that I can't sleep with you?" Lendon sneered and asked.
Kendra said nothing. What Lendon said was true.
"Curtis," Lendon ordered, "Check Kendra's room and find those pills."
Kendra stood still, and her face turned pale.
"You think I won't touch you without those pills?" Lendon glanced at her and said, "You will suffer if you play tricks with me again,"
Kendra looked at him blankly. She knew she couldn't run away from this beast.
Curtis found those pills soon and gave them to Lendon.
Lendon smiled arrogantly, "Now I can have sex with you whenever I want."
Kendra felt numbed, hearing him saying it.
"You're sad now?" Lendon held those pills and said, "Kendra, no matter how you feel, you can't change my mind."
