Chapter 306
I freeze, cursing that I was so wrapped up in Emily, I didn’t realize Aaron had arrived.
With Aaron here, I figure he can control his own damn sister.
I roll off her and get to my feet, not flinching and not backing down as I meet Aaron’s furious gaze.
“It’s true,” I tell him without a hint of remorse. “Emily was my mate. And I rejected her.”
Aaron looks positively murderous, but he doesn’t get a chance to say or do anything as Emily scrambles back into action, partially shifted.
I can’t say whether she’s going after Leah again or plans to leave the house and run to the woods.
Either way, she’s still completely out of control, operating on instinct and aggression.
Aaron intercepts her with a curse, clamping a hand on the back of her neck–much like I’d done with my teeth a few minutes ago -forcing her to go still.
“Submit!” he roars at her, Alpha power at full force.
It’s enough to make me shiver, and I’ve never been intimidated
anything in my entire life.
The power of three Alphas is certainly nothing to mess with.
Emily, however, still has some fight in her.
It’s clear in the way she’s gone still, but still straining at the edges, like she’s going to explode again any second now.
“Take her up to her room,” Aaron growls at me, thrusting her in my direction. “I’m going to get the pack doctor.”
I take hold of Emily. All her muscles feel like stone beneath my hands and her eyes are gleaming with this wild look.
“No!” she screams, twisting against me. “I’m not going upstairs! Let me go! Let me out!”
I wrap my arms around her and toss her over my shoulder, immobilizing both her arms and legs.
It’s the only way to get her upstairs without hurting her or letting her hurt me.
Aaron barely waits to see if I’ve got her under control before turning and striding off to get the pack doctor from the medical
annex.
Once we reach her room, I toss her onto her bed. She bounces but then comes right back at me.
“Damn it, Emily!” I shout as I catch her against me.
my own aggression rising up within me and it’s getting all wrapped up in lust and how I denied our mating bond.
My instincts are telling me to subdue and dominate and claim her.
“You need to stop. Now!” I tell her with a growl.
I don’t know if I want to yank her closer or shove her away from
- me.
My blood is running hot and my teeth ache with the need to bite her.
All my mind wants to do is picture how I could sling her down on the bed and make her mine in every way that counts.
I’ve never felt this close to losing control before and that’s what finally shocks my senses back into logic.
If I lost control, there’s no telling what might happen.
Damn this woman.
She pushes me to extremes I’ve never experienced.
“Emily,” I snap again, pushing her away from me. “Aaron has gone to get the pack doctor. If you don’t calm down before they get here, you’ll be sedated. Is that what you want?”
She jerks away from me with a final growl, however when she
spins and stalks away from me, she comes face to face with a mirror, and freezes, staring blankly at herself.
It’s the same full–length mirror I saw her standing in front of the other night, wearing that silver dress that’d stolen the breath right out of my body.
God, she’d looked gorgeous that night.
The second I’d seen her, I’d immediately regretted rejecting the mating bond.
If I hadn’t, I could’ve taken her in front of that mirror, making her watch herself come apart beneath me.
I was half–hard that night thinking about it.
And the same thing is starting to happen again now that I’ve let my thoughts stray.
However, Emily suddenly shrieks angrily. She lunges toward the mirror and breaks it with her bare hands.
I lunge forward and grab her back from the cascade of breaking glass.
She sags in my arms, crying now that the fight has all gone out of her.
Away from the glass, I sink to the floor, holding her against me.
