“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. 

Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips  “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.”

Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?”

Betrayed by Blood, Claimed by the Alpha

<p>Cain stood at the edge of the bed, his gaze heavy on her, watching her unconscious form. It was beginning to look like a constant thing where she'd be unconscious in his bed. He hated the circumstances that surrounded it. His jaw clenched tight as memories of what had happened flashed in his mind again. How it all went left so quickly still bugged him.</p>

<p>Rogues' attack was limited to the east border, but they had gotten so brave that they dared to attack the pack itself. It was madness. One that Cain could never take lying down. He'd made them pay in blood. He'd painted the ground with their blood, his wolf taking savage pleasure in their terror. When he finished washing their blood on the very grounds they terrorized, he saw the guard running towards him in panic, face pale and stricken.</p>
