CHAPTER 12

My eyes shot open and my hand was brought up quickly, punching the nearest thing near me and thank the Moon Goddess it was him. With all my strength, my hand punched his beautifully carved face causing him to stumble back and let go of my right hand, he winced as I drew my hand back feeling immense pain and my skin bleeding a little with minor cuts. I felt accomplished as he held the spot where I hit him, right on the cheek. My wolf howled at me with delight as we watched in pure pride as his eyes turned dark, his wolf peering out to see what was the commotion as he stared at me with furious eyes. I gave him a smug look and looked at the room. Thank the moon I was at the packed hospital, both my parents and siblings gave a relieved sigh as they looked at me, my mother's eyes welling up with tears and my dad gave a disappointed look towards me. However, my siblings looked directly at my left shoulder, inspecting the damage there in pure horror. No one said a word as my hand was brought up to the spot to feel where the mark was, Ifelt the numbness in my shoulder as my hand went over the area and I winced at how odd it felt, it was as if it had swelled up largely against my neck and now it looked like [ had a third shoulder. I knew it was red and an ugly shade of black as I ran over the two punctured holes where it sealed up and created a scar, it was jagged and it felt unnatural against my skin as I could feel my wolf's anger in my mind as I touched that area. the little emotion he showed was anger and relief. The red spot was blossoming on his right cheek as I felt another wave of triumph as we did some sort of staring contest, the tension blooming around us as I gave him a snarl. "How dare you come here and act all mad at me!" I growled, as the hairs on my skin tingled with rage, my hairs standing up in a defensive, yet offensive position. His presence made me feel vulnerable, yet mad as he locked his jaw to stare at me. "You angered my wolf, we were both angry at your disrespectful actions. You are mine, it only deemed fit to mark you before you ran away or think that you can persuade me to let you go," he spoke with his full Alpha voice. I snorted in disgust as he finished, letting my anger roll in waves I started to bark. ""Fuck you! I am not yours and certainly do not want this thing on my neck!" I barked, pointing to the swelling on my neck and shoulder. "I thought you were better than this! I want to be free and explore before anything, I was fine without a mate until you came along! I am not an object and certainly will not be 'yours' anytime soon!" I finished, my blood boiling as I took ragged breaths in anger, my family watched on as the Alpha's eyes focused solely on me, his hands were white and curled into a fist, his face red and his veins popping out in frustration as his jaw locked and his baby blues stared into mine. To say that I was scared was an understatement, I was terrified. The new found confidence wavering within me, I can tell the Alpha male could smell it, but I did not show him any weakness. My wolf was howling at me with pride as she admired my confidence toward a very dominant male. He was silent, his muscles constricting, rippling under his skin, wanting to shift, but he controlled his emotions as he stared, my wolf could hear his wolf howling at my disobedience, she was frightened t00. As a wolf, she was subjected to being submissive to any Alpha male, but she seemed to be strong and not let his wolf make her submit. I was proud of her. I could tell by the gold eyes that his wolf was about to surface and Alpha Archer remained in his human form, containing his wolf before he explodes. It was a silent time, yet the growling at the back of his throat was obviously the silence breaker. The room was tense, my family was silent, but I continued to stare with a hard expression, while Alpha Archer contained everything in. Minutes of silence passed until a screech was heard and the door slamming shut. It took me a few seconds to gain an understanding that he left in a quick manner, a wolf howling in the background that sent me chills as I looked at the empty spot where Alpha Archer was. Crescent telling me that he left in anger and went to Minutes of silence passed until a screech was heard and the door slamming shut. It took me a few seconds to gain an understanding that he left in a quick manner, a wolf howling in the background that sent me chills as Ilooked at the empty spot where Alpha Archer was. Crescent telling me that he left in anger and went to contain his wolf, I breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at my family with a small smile. "Now, how long have I been out?" My wolf was howling at me to go back, the voice of my mate angry at me was repeating in the back of my mind. To say I was feeling guilty was an understatement, but my wolf was not. He was growling at me to go back and teach her a lesson, but I couldn't hurt my mate more than I already had and the bond was half done. I could feel all her feel like they were my own, the slow burning of anger and hurt etched on my heart, I felt her pain and it was all my fault. I didn't have any control over my wolf or my body and forcefully marked her, and now something that should have been sacred, was treated like a bag of trash and now she's dealing with something that I couldn't see. When I saw her, when I touched her, I grew some sight back.
