TESSA POV
"I told you not to come here, didn't I want you? Look at me when I'm talking to you, Tessa?," the way he drawled my name like he's singing it, shook me down to my bone marrow.
My leg pausing into the marble floor, I couldn't even leave if I wanted to, it felt like the floor had held me down with magic.
"I came to ask you about the pack members gathered in front of the mansion, they've been there since dawn and it's becoming alarming, my name on their lips." I stuttered even though I had rehearsed everything in my head.
"And that is why you had to barged into my inner bedroom, are you happy now with what you see, you should listen to me when I warn you," he told me.
As usual his voice was doing things to my body that I don't want to say or think about, Shane always have that effect on me, making me tremble and want to beg for his touch.
"You wouldn't have let me in if you didn't want to see me, your guards met me in at every inspection point and that's not what I came to discuss with you,"
I noticed from the corner of my eyes how he stood up from his mighty and enormous bed, shoving the woman down, she made a pleasure sound and knelt beside his kneeling form.
"My woman is here, you should relax and let me talk to her. Maybe she want to join us," he told her, looking directly at me.
I knew he's taunting me but I can't look directly in his eyes, my chest was constructing and my wolf angry, I can't place why or how he's doing that, he's not my mate so why am I feeling pissed that another woman is with him.
"The people outside are none of your business, I'm the Lycan king and they are shocked that I want to get married, I have never gotten married before now,"
"This is a controversial issue and more of the political aspect is raring it's head, I can't stop the people from asking questions, relax your nerves and get ready for our marriage," he told me.
His attention mainly on me even though the woman was touching his back and trying to get him to stop talking, I was at the verge of yelling at her to give us some privacy.
But I stopped my self, it would make Alpha Shane very happy that he could make me feel concerned and furious when another woman is around me.
"What is really happening? Why do I have to marry you?, there are many women who would jump on this opportunity, why do I have to be the scale goat?"
He snickered when I asked the question but said nothing, instead he caught the woman beside him and placed his mouth in hers.
Intentionally wanting to annoy me, it worked because I hissed and eyed the woman, she giggled at me and added more force into the kiss. I didn't want to show any form of feeling but I couldn't help it, my wolf couldn't take it.
"You should leave now or stay and watch us, you can join us if you really want to, you can be our guest too," he drawled again, his hands still on the moaning woman.
I stared at him hard and long trying to figure out what to say to piss him off, to stop him from touching another woman, how to get back at him. Then it occurred to me.
Moving slowly into his bedroom, I found the guts and courage to look directly in his face, his mother called me his cute and I can as well try it out here and now.
"You are here in another woman arm and yet you want to keep me as your wife?, for what exactly, what are you trying to achieve? What do you want me for, you can take this woman in your arm, she's working hard to please you,"
The plan was to make the Lycan king angry and beyond control, he can't keep teasing me with another woman, touching and kissing her in my presence.
It worked immediately, I wasn't expecting it but h eggy g the lady beside him ti the other far end of the bed, she scowled at me but said nothing, instead she cooked herself on his bed there and stayed put.
These women are more like puppet, they will do anything he want and run into his arm when called by him, why do they want to be his woman so bad.
"You should watch what you say, watch your mouth and stay away from what doesn't concern you Tessa, you are mine and that what you need to know, these women in my bed are mainly to keep me away from you,"
"You should stay away from my private quarters as well, except maybe you want what happened on your first night to resume it self, I took you first, had you first, my scent and mark is on you, i own you!"
It wasn't how he said it but the effect it had on me that made me clutch my stomach and whimper, my wolf groaning inwardly.
"You are wicked and pathetic, you know how to hurt people!, why will you say that to me, you forced yourself on me," I was still talking when he finally jumped out of bed.
Indirectly my plan worked even though it made me teary and upset, he was out of that bed and away from the woman.
"By now you should know all my history, i know you spoke with my mum already and you heard the things she told you, I'm beyond repair and I chose you to spend my darkness with me."
The way he said it made my skin crawl, he was also moving toward me quickly. I couldn't stand there and wait for him to catch up with me, the intention in his eyes aren't in any way good.
"You said something about why I chose you Tessa, it's because you make me feel like this, you make me want to leave my bed and other women, I don't feel or think about them anymore, she's just here to keep the thought of you away,"
"Still it's not working but what can I do?, I'm crazy when I'm around you and I always want to keep you there," he pointed toward his huge bed and eyed the lady to get out of the bed.
"My king, please let me stay, I haven't done my duties. She can leave, the white skin petite lady complained, eyeing me with so much hatred and contempt.
"Are you dear Olivia? Do I have to scream at the top of my voice before you get my message? She's my wife to be and you will respect her, now get out. We need to talk," he warned her.
His time changing at once, I noticed again that his eyes and body movement always change whenever he speak to me, there's always seduction and something else, a warmer feeling when he speak with me.
"You don't have to send her off, I will leave for you both, I only came here to tell you about the dozens of people clamouring my name in front of your main gate."
"They keep increasing in number and the wedding you mentioned to me is the main topic on their lips, I don't know how they heard or found out but they are asking questions,"
"You should go there and tell them it's a threat to keep me here, I can be your maid or whatever, I can even work to pay my debt, I just want to be set free from you,"
The Lycan king touching another woman had blocked my mind that k wasn't able to express myself properly but now that she's on her way out of his inner bedroom, I seem to suddenly be able to talk and even sound cocky,
But it didn't help much, the Lycan king wasn't having fun with what I just spat out, I wasn't fast enough, I saw him fling himself on me but I thought I could run before he caught me.
"You should close that sexy mouth of yours and let me think, let me talk to my wolf yo keep calm, because right now all we want to do to you is Claim you again, it's not about the question of why I keep choosing you,"
"It's more about what you've done to me, I'm intoxicated by everything you do and say and right now, I'm forced to teach you a lesson, you threatened me with leaving!, working or what did you say just now?,"
"How dare you talk about paying off your debt? Did I ask you to pay any debt? Tessa watch what you say to me or I will not warn you again!," his hand was on my neck, but this time he wasn't pressing on it like the last time.
He was caressing my neck and welling out dirty and poisonous thought from my body, I groaned angrily at myself when I raised my neck up for better touch from him, yet I couldn't stop myself.
"You keep denying what we have Tessa. This is a string connection, you are my cure! My destiny!!, it's time you stop asking why I choose you, we are connected forever. You need me too," he coarsed into my left ear and all I could say in response was to moan.
