Chapter 17 - Chapter 17- Never this Painful

!! WARNING, THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SLIGHTLY GORY SCENES THAT CAN COME OFF AS EXPLICIT TO SOME PEOPLE, READ WITH CAUTION !!

Christian and Jordan brought out our meals, and I have to say they looked and tasted amazing. I had a seafood based meal and Koi had a fancy looking steak, I learnt a lot about the few pack members I've already met, for example, Christian doubled as Koi's personal chef and one of his best warriors, and Jordan taught some of the students at the high school towards the center of town. Dain is one of the most powerful werewolves I've ever heard of. Koi explained how the two of them survived a year in the wilderness, using only their wits, basic skills and each other.

After we ate, Koi took me back to his room. I couldn't help but pause to look at the carvings on the doorframe.

"Do these carvings tell a story?" I asked, Koi turned to look at them and smiled softly.

"No, these are the ones that I did, my parents taught me how to carve, I wasn't very good, so they helped me."

It did make sense, these ones weren't as intricate, but they were still amazing. We walked in and I collapsed onto the bed, it was so big and soft, the duvet felt like it was made of silk. Koi came over and threw a pillow at my face so I gracefully got hit with it.

"You suck Koi."

I threw it back and he caught it effortlessly, he was smiling like an idiot. I rolled my eyes and fell back onto the bed.

"I'm just going to have a shower, I'll be out soon." Once he declared it, I really wanted one too. I pushed off the bed and tried to race past him but he picked me up and threw me onto the bed like a plush toy.

"Hey!" I screamed.

"I'm going first, girls take too long in the shower."

He wasn't wrong, I'd be in there having a concert and composing an argument to the bottles in the shower. I sighed and playfully glared at him.

"You're welcome to join me if you want."

I felt my face heat up, I didn't want to have a shower with him yet, one thing leads to another and once you push that ball down the hill, there's no going back. I vigorously shook my head no and turned my head the other way.

"Your loss." He called before closing the bathroom door behind him.

I sat there and decided to look over all the carvings again, testing myself to see if I could recall them, I think I did very well.

An idea hit me.

If I can fly, I can get a closer look at the carvings, I've always had an eye for detail, sometimes the smallest speck can change the line of the story so easily. I tried my best to summon the monster, but something just wasn't working. I laid myself back on the bed, closed my eyes and reached deep within my mind, I tried to pull on the feeling that brought her to the surface, I grasped onto it and pulled on it, I felt her rise up and painfully burst out, I screamed, it was never this painful before. I heard the shower turn off and soon after Koi burst through the bathroom door. I opened my eyes and saw him wrapped in a bathrobe with a panicked expression. At that same moment, another unexplainable wave of pain washed through me and I felt my body shift unnaturally, another ear splitting scream made its way out of my mouth and I thrashed around, knocking myself off the bed and onto the hardwood floor.

"What-" My back arched and the wings finally came out with full force, I heard a sickening crack and saw blood shoot onto the walls of Koi's room.

I turned to Koi, desperately trying to form words but I couldn't seem to grasp anything, the situation was blurring and I felt dizzy with pain. Koi made a move to get to me but stopped short, it seemed as if he ran into some invisible wall of some sort. I willed my legs to move, but once I took a wobbly step, the pain came back, more aggressive than before, I collapsed to the ground in screams, bringing my knees to my chest and letting the tears fall, they felt like acid while they fell down my cheeks and onto the floor.

I pushed myself back up but with every move, the monster seemed to want to come out more and more. I stood on shaky legs, every inch of my body aching, I felt the tail pierce through my backside and I bit my tongue, containing the screams. I looked at my hands, they felt like they were on fire, they turned onyx black, my fingernails were replaced with sharp claws, the same happened with my feet. This time, I let the scream go, the sound of fear and pain echoed through the halls. I fumbled to grab the table beside me, I missed and fell back onto the floor.

Painful sobs shook my whole being, the waves had stopped and I was left feeling sore and numb. I sat there for 10 minutes, I had my eyes closed, trying my best to stop the tears but they kept falling. I pushed myself off of the floor and staggered towards a blank faced Koi, I went to slap him but he caught my hand in one swift movement, the touch felt electric and I pulled back, Koi took a step towards me and I took a responsive one back, we kept this rhythm until he had my back pressed against the wall, he was looking down at me with anger? When he spoke, it felt like knives were being shoved into my ears, I covered them and winced, he immediately stopped talking and cupped my face, forcing my gaze to him. He tried speaking again and I tried my best to pay attention to what he was saying.

"Why would you do that without me there?"

I opened my mouth to form words but I could manage was a loud and threatening snarl, I clasped my hands over my mouth with wide eyes, and all of a sudden they felt like they were stinging, I closed them and the pain quickly subsided, when I opened them though, everything felt so much clearer and more detailed, I could hear the heartbeats of so many people in the castle as well as their conversations.

I walked over to the nearest mirror and nearly scared myself. I had literal horns, I looked demonic, my eyes were an electric mix of blue and green. I watched Koi walk up behind me with a focused attention, I turned around with a frightened expression, the fear quickly grew when I saw the dagger he was holding. I tried to speak and the words finally came out.

"What are you-" Koi pushed a hand against my mouth and made a cut along the palm of his hand, holding it in a position that made the blood drip onto the floor, he then quickly cornered my against the nearest wall and held the bloody hand against my mouth, because his hand was on my mouth I was forced to breath through my nose, allowing the scent of his blood into my system, it sent my monster into a total frenzy. I growled and he slowly pulled his hand away.

"Good, now, bite me." He commanded, and without hesitation I stepped forward, bearing my fangs, realisation hit me like a slap and I pulled back, horrified by what I was about to do. He frowned, and took a step towards me.

"Bite me Charlotte, don't cower away from this."

"I don't want to hurt you Koi." I said almost to myself, he heard it anyway.

"Oh please, love, Koi's long gone, why do you think he didn't help you, you need this experience." He scolded me as if I was a lying child.

"Well who the hell are you to tell me what to do?" I regretted the words as soon as they came out. I clasped my hands over my mouth and took a fearful step back, he smiled devilishly and and took one forward. He looked way taller than he did thirty seconds ago. Once I was back against the wall he placed his hands next to my head, trapping me with his huge arms. He leaned down and whispered in my ear.

"My name is Stolas, I'm Koi's monster, a demon. I think very highly of good girls as well as a polite mouth, be a good little sub and listen very closely."

His voice made me shiver, I felt myself becoming very wet in between my legs, I nodded slowly and gulped.

"You need to express this feeling, I'm sure you would much rather do this to someone who is practically resistant to pain, now do exactly as I command Charlotte."

He pushed off the wall and stood before me, arms crossed, seemingly assessing the situation, he chuckled seeing my defenseless state.

"On the bed." He commanded. I staggered over to the bed and sat in the middle, he came over and did the same, hovering over me. He put his hand on my shoulders and smiled sweetly at me, throwing me off guard. He pushed me down and growled at me.

"Now, are you listening to me? It's not that hard of a task I promise." He said mockingly, I nearly rolled my eyes but thought better of it, so instead I nodded.

"Bite… Me." I looked into his eyes, they were now a mix of quartz grey and blood red. I broke his gaze and looked up, sighing loudly.

"Charlotte…" He cooed softly, moving his mouth to the crook of my neck. I froze, feeling his fangs against my skin. I put my hands on his shoulders and positioned myself so I had a clear strike at him, guessing he wanted the neck. I swallowed and started gently sucking on it, giving him some sort of satisfaction. I felt my fangs elongate and didn't hesitate before sinking them into his skin, the taste hit me hard and I nearly passed out. I gripped onto his shoulders and bit down harder, he didn't make a sound, didn't move, didn't make any motion to stop me, I pulled my teeth out and licked my lips, sinking down into the softness of the bed.

He pushed himself up and hovered over me, his hands once again beside my head, he had a delish sexy smile on his lips, I closed my legs quickly and bit my lip, his gaze shifted to them quickly. His smile grew, flashing his pearly white fangs. He leaned down again, I blushed every shade of red and reluctantly relaxed into his touch.

"Aren't you a good girl, I think you deserve a reward."
