The poison

Caged between the Lycan brothers

Chapter 11

Kaylan stared at the food as if it were the worst lethal poison on earth to exist.

Her feet rubbed against each other hard and her heart was a mess of heavy thumping beats.

"Kaylan!!" Cypher's warning voice jerked her up and she almost tears up in fear.

How would she explain that the food she prepared for him was poisoned? A tiny portion of the food would knock her senses out to death and she had included more than what was supposed to be in there for a normal wolf.

Why was her fate so cruel?

After all the days of starving to death, why did he have to care about how she felt today?

"I'm not hungry, Alpha." She murmured, keeping her head low and Cypher gritted his teeth in frustration.

"There won't be punishment." He blurted out and raked his hair as if he was doing the strangest thing in his life.

Fuck! He wanted to be bold and tell her to fuck off but the depth of his heart was going to break into tiny pieces of painful guilt knowing that his mate was starving.

His beast would make him rage and destroy things and the fact her scent alone was making him calm, he didn't want him to get restless.

"It's an order, Kaylan! Eat now or I'll call the guards to feed you!" He growled at her and a tear slipped past her eyes and she shook her head.

Her next reaction shocked Cypher as her fingers purposely shook the bridge of the plates and everything spilled on the table rendering him speechless.

He shut his eyes close, not knowing how to react. A normal him would have displayed thousands of ways to kill her but right now, he was just blank.

"You pushed her!! She can't even eat! My mate can't have a simple meal because of you!" His beast roared within and he groaned.

"I'm sorry, I.. I'll get another one.." She trembled, knowing that it was a bluff. There was nothing like sorry in Cypher's dictionary and as if her instincts were so right, she felt her hair almost being pulled out from the roots of her scalp.

"How dare you!!" He barked at her, his veins popped out from his wrists and his beautiful eyes blazed in fury.

His grip was firm and tight, making her wince.

"I'm sorry Alpha, –"

"Just because you're some disgusting piece of trash as fated bullshit, you have no right to refuse my order!! No fucking right. I asked you to eat! Just have a meal and what the hell did you take my stupidity for?"

Cypher asked in fury.

Right now, he couldn't decipher why he was angry but deep down he knew he was frustrated.

He was not happy at the fact she happened to be his mate, that she was stirring and scraping emotions in him.

Goddess!!

Why was he realizing how beautiful she is right now?

Why didn't he notice the sexy curves of her breasts all these whole years of living? He wished she wasn't a wolf or treated her with less inhumanity but deep down, he knew there was nothing he could do. He had destroyed her beyond repair.

She wouldn't even look at him in the face, she couldn't even raise her spoon before him.

He raised his hands to hit her, maybe being cold and acting nonchalant would work out. She might be his mate but she's forbidden to him, to the pack, and everything else.

But instead of hitting her and letting her go, he found himself drinking her scent in.

He wondered how it would feel to be inside her, how she tasted, how her moans would look like raised his hands to cup her cheeks.

Kaylan flinched in irritation and fear, her shut eyes now open wide as she stared at Cypher in confusion.

"Get dressed Kaylan, we'll leave for the Council." He told her and her hair somersaulted in erratic confusion.

That was the same word Gareth had told her but she dared not argue.

"Yes, Alpha." She nodded and turned to leave but he was holding her tight, her hair was still fisted in his hands and he stepped backward.

He walked over to the dining and took the water and drank everything in a gulp.

"Go to my closet and get a shirt." He blurted out and Kaylan shook her head in disbelief.

That's a Taboo!

No one has ever gone near his clothes to talk more about wearing them.

She stared at him but he was done, now fiddling with his phone.

Experiencing his outburst earlier, she knew better than to argue and dragged herself to the room and moved the ebony silver wardrobe that looked so exquisite and grand.

Pushing the door of the wardrobe open, she gasped in surprise.

It looked larger inside and the line of shirts that hung inside was endless, his cologne hit her making get sigh as she discarded the torn gown and took one of his shirts to put on her body.

It swallowed her whole but it wasn't bad, she stood in the mirror and the reflection before her looked like a ghost.

Swollen cheeks, scattered hair, and dry parched lips were the least of what she could describe the reflection before her.

Knowing she was taking her time too much in his room, she released a shaking sigh and walked out.

Cypher turned and the first thing that registered in his brain was how different she looked.

Her fair laps were displayed and her scattered hair on her shoulders made him groan.

She's beautiful but he began to have this preference for having her hair up and just when he took a step to have it to his preferred style something sharp and nauseating struck his entire system.

He felt as if thousands of sour smelly egg and a sack of pins were dumped in the pit of his stomach.

Vasperia gasped and shook her head in horror, her hands flew to her mouth when a groan escaped Cypher's lips. His beautiful eyes were now bloodshot and the next step he tried to take sent him wobbling to the ground.

The sight before he was horrible, seeing an all powerful Alpha made her recoil in great fear and regret.

"What have I done?" Her lips trembled and her legs gave up, melting her to the ground.

She realized that she has poisoned the water too and didn't take it off.
