He had taken her without her consent and expected her to just accept that she belonged to him. Above everything she was annoyed at the fact he had tried to feed her some unbelievable lie about him being a werewolf. She had heard those lies from her parents but she was older and wiser.
She wouldn't fall for such and she couldn't stand being in the same space as him. Raquel had secretly wished she had just tried to escape earlier but something in her had kept her from leaving along with Lea's presence. But now she was past the point of being understanding and headed for the door where she had found her coat hung on a chair and was ready to leave.
Unfortunately Raquel was unaware of the kind of man she was dealing with. She had barely reached the door before she felt her arm being yanked and her body being lifted off the ground as if she weighed nothing. In the blink of an eye she was hurled over his shoulder and he moved at a leisure pace ignoring the insults she threw and the way her arms and legs flailed around. Smacking his back with as much force as she could she felt his large hand slap her bottom and she froze caught off guard that he would do such a thing.
"You have such a lovely ass, so fucking delectable," he growled placing his hand back on the cheek he had slapped to massage it gently.
"FUCK YOU!" she spat only to receive another hit, this time on another cheek that had her yelping as he moved up the stairs. "Your anger is futile. Just accept your place, woman," he replied calmly opening the door to his bedroom.
He wasted no time in throwing her on the bed which she landed on it with a gentle whoosh. Bouncing against the comforter she sat up completely aware of the compromising position she was in now that she was in his bed. The dark look he wore had her scooting up on the bed only to have him grasp her ankle prohibiting her from creating any distance between them. Pulling her back he quickly discarded his coat and leaned forward towards his prey holding her hands down as she struggled against him. "AHHH! L-LET ME GO!"
"No."
"I HATE YOU!"
"No you don't. You've hardly given me a chance," he said leaning closer till the tip of his nose touched hers. With him so close she felt overwhelmed at the weight of his body on hers, the tingles from every part he touched had her mind slightly dazed at the being before her as the silence sunk in. "I can't get the image of you out of my head, y-you bit me. At least I think you did," she muttered looking away when she could no longer withstand his intense gaze. "I know you still don't believe me. But I am a werewolf, you are my mate and in terms of what you saw…" he sighed annoyed at the altercation that took place, "that's something that I'll explain another time. In terms of the pain you felt, as hard as it is to believe, I was placing a mark on you."
"Do you realize how crazy you sound?"
"I don't care, it's still the truth," he murmured closing his eyes whilst he rubbed his nose affectionately against hers. When his eyes opened once again they beamed taking her breath away and she blinked multiple times believing she was experiencing an optical illusion. But they remained trained on her before he shifted forward and placed his lips firmly against hers. Feeling her chest constrict at the soft lips upon hers, in as much as he wanted to taste more of her essence he pulled back reluctantly before she had a chance to react and before he got carried away. "Keep denying all you want, kitten. Your place is here so I strongly suggest you get comfortable, I'm off to take a shower. Care to join me?" he smirked watching her face flush, but it seemed she quickly caught herself on the way her body betrayed her and frowned. "Go to hell!"
"Fine, your funeral," he replied under his breath heading towards the bathroom to take a much needed bath to clear his head leaving her in the room to process his words.

This was insane she thought flinging the front door open but with him no longer paying that much attention to her she took the opportunity to run. She knew she would hate herself for not at least trying and she searched her belongings she was dismayed to find her phone wasn't there. Nevertheless, the time to look for it was not an option available to her and believing she'd make a plan with the money in her wallet she knew she'd make it home. It was unfortunate his home that was situated on a large plot of land was completely detached from other homes so that she could quickly receive assistance. It was only when she caught sight of men yelling at her to stop once she was outside that she did the next best thing and quickly ran into the woods in the hopes she'd find a house close by as opposed to being out in the open where he'd easily find her.
Tripping on her own feet she kept moving. The adrenaline kept her moving as her eyes darted every which way trying to adjust to the darkness but fortunately there were a few lights around the area that would allow her to navigate easily. And yet the light provided didn't offer enough protection to stop her from slipping and falling onto the ground. On the way down she scraped her elbow against a rock with a sharp edge and landed on a stick with a thorn that dug into her inner thigh as she landed on the wet ground. Moaning in pain she wasn't surprised when she felt a liquid gush out of her thigh and when she reached down she bit the inside of her cheeks hard to yank out the stick that got stuck on her pants.
Just as she pushed herself to get up past the unbearable aches radiating over parts of her body a pair of arms lifted her off the ground prohibiting any further movement on her part, "You're starting to get on my nerves, little one," Silas grumbled keeping her firmly against his frame. Instead of hurling her over his shoulder like he did the last time he chose instead to carry her bridal style out of the woods despite the constant blows she landed on his profile that had no effect upon him. "FOR GODSAKE, LEAVE ME ALONE YOU PSYCHO!" she screamed flailing her arms as they emerged from the woods only to find about two of his guards observing them. The pair immediately lowered their eyes to the ground and moved away after Silas signaled to them that he had the situation under control, "Your stubbornness will get you killed, accept your place," he stated holding back the urge to literally shake some sense into her but deep down he only blamed himself for frightening her. When he heard her leave the room he had assumed she'd be back but when he heard the front door open he wasted no time in taking action and went after her.

Shutting the door of his room with his foot he looked down to find her visibly upset but had taken notice of the smell of blood rolling off her body. "Is your silence your way of showing compliance?" he asked placing her gently on the edge of bed. She refused to say anything, throwing daggers in his direction with one look, "The silent treatment won't work, you know?"
He smiled down at her when he noticed her go so far as to scoff and roll her eyes. Shrugging his shoulders at her actions he yanked her forward causing her to gasp as he ripped the leg of his sweatpants exposing her thigh. He went on to completely cause the eyes in her head to nearly leap out of their sockets when he bent down to lick the blood gushing out of the wound. And without even meaning to she released a small moan from the feel of his tongue licking a part of her body that was one of her weak spots. Hearing the unexpected sound slip out of her mouth he lifted his head smirking at what he immediately deemed sheer music to his ears, "Told you. Now let's get you cleaned up," he said.
"Why did you lick me?"
"It's my kind's way of saying sorry for what happened to you, it's my job to protect you from getting hurt but when you do get hurt it's my right to heal you when you do. Now strip," he ordered pointing to her clothes now covered in dirt and grime. Shuddering at the demand she sat there for a moment looking up at him like he had grown two heads. "I'm not allowing you to see me naked."
Though he wanted to object right then and there, he withheld his annoyance at his request being denied and chose instead to say, "One day you will, I'll allow you for only this time to not strip in front of me but all future occasions are non-negotiable…"
"Fine by me cause my ass will be gone by then," she bit back with attitude standing up to her feet to march into the bathroom. He would've pulled her back and admonished her for such a remark if he hadn't gotten distracted by the swivel of her hips as she sashayed to the bathroom. He ended up groaning in frustration at the way his mate's body seemed to be designed to bring him to his knees. No doubt the human already had the big, bad Alpha wrapped around her finger without her even trying to.
