Page 23 of Unloved Mate

“Yes, there is. Your orphaned ass working too hard to leave an impression. And I know, very soon, they'll pick you over me and dump me at the sideline like everyone had done.”

“So this is about your paranoia and jealousy.” I coughed out blood. I regained my footing and tried to move toward him, but a sudden strike of pain in my head caused me to lose my balance again.

“I discovered your little secret. Your dark objects.” He smirked as he tossed a bracelet with the power of body immobilization toward me. I couldn't move nor deal with the pain, either. Zeke moved toward me with supernatural speed and thrusted me into a tree, driving a dagger into my chest.My eyes widened in horror when I felt the wolfsbane invade my bloodstream. He twisted the blade and blood spurted from my throat, sliding down to my lips. He pulled out the dagger and smirked, watching me drop to the floor.

“Go to hell, Kane.” He murmured and turned on his heels as he walked away.

I could barely keep my eyes open as I struggled to breathe. The pain was unbearable, and I had a few minutes to survive because of the wolfsbane being close to my heart. I saw a bridge… a veil of light, one of the most beautiful sights I'd ever seen. With the last ounce of strength in me, I screamed, hoping that someone would hear me and come to my aid.

Valor

I saw the look of melancholy in his eyes. Tears sprung from them, and I pulled him into an embrace. I had never seen a man so vulnerable as he was shaking and crying in my arms. It hurt me so much he had bottled up this level of pain for a very long time. It was like he had relieved the moment Zeke drove the dagger into his chest. A memory he had been running from after his survival. “Leda and the Lycan shifters saved you, right?”

“Yes, they did. Luckily, Leda had put a spell on me to know when I was in danger. I survived thanks to her, and when I made it back, I couldn't get over the fact that a person I trusted would end my life without even considering the side of my story. I vowed to take everything from him.”

“That is why you wanted to ruin everything he held close, why you came after me.”

“You were different. I promised myself that I wouldn't let you fall into the arms of a man like him.”

“So you stalked me?” I chuckled.

“Fine, I agree. If that's going to make you happy,” he chuckled dryly as I wiped off the tears in his eyes. “I was just admiring from afar,” he said and brushed his knuckles against my cheeks. “You are really special, Valor. Maybe your other mates didn't realize that. But I see you, Valor. I see you.” He smiled at me.

“I remember what we did that night…” I said with a sultry smile. “I want that again.” Grumbling, I tugged at his shirt and slowly unbuttoned it, seeing the mark of the injury Zeke inflicted on him. I gasped when he pulled me fiercely into his arms and lay back on the bed with me straddling on him. I leaned in and kissed him, our lips interlacing in a hurried exploration of pleasure. I moaned into his mouth as he turned me over, my back pressed against the bed, his muscled body domineering over mine as he ravaged my body with kisses. “I want you to make a mess of me.” I let out a squeal of the words and he ripped off his shirt, tossing them over his head. He continued to paint my body with kisses, sending sparks of pleasure through me, pleasure that hardened my cock. He climbed down from the bed and grabbed his bulge, giving it a tug, and watched me as I stroked my length gently. Kane unhooked his belt, intense need in his eyes as he stepped out of his boxer briefs and trousers, letting his cock free. He walked to the drawer and took out the lube then he hurried back into the bed. He put the liquid into his hands and pressed it on my hole, sliding his fingers into me and stroking. He worked on my hole, stretching me until I was ready for him.

“Fuck, I want your cock so bad.”

“Beg for it.” He growled and slicked up his length with the lube, positioning his dick at my entrance. A tensed breath escaped me and my hands wrapped around the sheets. His eyes didn't leave my body as I dragged my bottom lip and spewed thewords from my throat. “Please, I want your cock, stretching me, filling me with fullness. Please. Please, please, please give me your cock.”

“Mm, little wolf, you greedy little thing. I'll be feeding you every length of my fucking cock.” He rumbled and gently pushed into me, and I gasped at the intrusion. With my legs parted, he leaned closer, his clenched fist pressed into the mattress as he slammed into me.

“Oh, fuck, Kane.”

“Yes, I love the way you take my cock. Such a good boy,” he hissed, overwhelmed by pleasure. “By the time I'm done with you tonight, I'll be leaving bruises on your body to show everyone that you're mine.” He grunted, his fangs lengthening and brushing against my shoulder and pricking my skin. He swiped off the blood with his tongue and reveled a grumble from the pleasure.

“Fuck, it feels so good.” I cried out as he quickened his pace, the impact of his thrust pushing me further and further into the bed. He pulled out of me with a loud pop and positioned me on my knees with my ass tilted upwards. As he knelt behind me, he spanked my curves and pressed his hands into my ass cheeks, leaving bruises on my skin. He slicked his cock and pushed inside me, the intrusion sending a zap of pain which soon turned into pleasure. “Good boy, taking my cock just the way I like it.” He rumbled and pumped into me, each stroke faster than the latter, stretching me, driving me until all I could feel was the line that blurred between pain and pleasure. He pulled me back with him and lay back on the bed, letting me straddle on his cock. His hands wrapped around my waist, his claws raking against my skin and drawing blood, the pain sending a thrill of pleasure through my body. “Goddess, you're so fucking sexy when you bleed.”

“I want you to stroke your cock for me.” He whispered,his fangs grazing my ear. I reached out to my cock, wrapped my hands around it and pumped aggressively.

“Ah, oh, fuck, Kane.” I cried out, almost losing my balance. He held me in place, and continued to plunge his length into me rapidly, the tightness of my hole driving him to the edge until he came. He buried his fangs into my neck and just when he pulled away from the marking, I orgasmed. His grunts filtered into the room, his cum leaking from me, although his cock was still inside me. He laid me back on the bed with a wicked smile and grinned. “You were so fucking good, little wolf.”

“And so were you.” I smiled at him, his hands still wrapped around my body as we drifted to sleep.

Kane

Before first light, I woke up for a patrol run around the pack territory. I returned to the house after and made breakfast for Valor and me, then I took it upstairs only to meet him in the bed, still covered in the sheets and resting. Putting the food on the side table, I crossed my arms, watching over him as he slept. I walked to the bed and brushed my knuckles against his cheeks and stirred him awake. He smiled when he saw me and stretched on the bed, pulling me closer and kissing my cheeks. “Hey, you.”

“Good morning. How are you feeling?”

“Good, actually.”

“I’m sorry if I went too hard yesterday. I shouldn't have gotten lost in the moment. I mean, you're still getting used to this.”

“I know, and I'm fine with the sex.” He answered and rustled out of the bed. Before he could step away from the bed, I lifted him from the floor and wrapped my hands around him, taking him to the bathroom.
