The next sound I hear over the pounding of my heart is the door opening and then clicking with a decisive close.
Since entering the Registry, I’d suffered many indignities, unspeakable ones. But for some reason, this unexpected humiliation cut deep leaving me to wonder, what the hell just happened?
Chapter
Nine
DRAKEN
Amurderous rage burns within my chest that I can’t pacify. If we weren’t on the plane I would have shifted and taken a run to cool off. Instead, I’m pacing the length of the aisle to burn energy.
“My Lord, can I fix you another drink?” the flight attendant appears behind me.
“Leave me be. I will summon you if you’re needed.” I snarl the words, unable to keep the aggression out of my tone.
“Of course, my Lord.” She scurries away.
I’d made it one of my goals when I became the leader of Sector 10 to be fair to the workers beneath me but sometimes, I forget myself and speak too plainly when my words should be more measured.
Braeden has pointed this out to me on several occasion. But after seeing the deep gashes in my breeder’s backs, most of which were so deep, that they clearly hadn’t been given proper treatment at the time of her injury.
Angry scars crisscross her back in diagonal and horizontal patterns. Some of the marks had created sunken flesh while others had turned to dark puffy keloids.
I carried my own scars from the many battles I’d fought over my lifetime, but they were minor compared to the ones on my breeder’s back. How she’d managed to survive those injuries spoke of a fortitude that I would find admirable in my comrades, but for her to endure them as a homo sapien is beyond belief.
It makes me wonder if that was the reason she has a murder flag in her file. By our laws, I’m obligated to see to her execution because she’s not guaranteed a trial. But since she’s my breeder that raises extenuating circumstances.
Still, I’m not sure why seeing those scars on her back has angered me to the point I want to rip someone’s head off. She’s simply a breeder. I’m not supposed to be drawn to her beyond the heirs she will provide for me.
Yet, while we were in the car leaving Magnus’s manor, it took every bit of will power I possessed to not pull her into my arms and bury myself between her thighs. While I didn’t recognize the exact scent emitted, I could discern one thing. The smell of her pussy. There was a sweet tanginess to it that wafted to my nostrils, begging me to taste it.
But by the time, I nearly gave in to these carnal cravings, she’d fallen asleep. I didn’t wanted to disturb her and be accused of being the animal. I’ve been called that all my life.
The Beast.
I know what others thought of me. They believed I was too hotheaded and acted before I thought. Some even questioned my right to be the Sector Leader and believed that I should have allowed Braeden to rule in my stead. He is the former Sector Leader’s son. He has the lineage the pedigree but I have the strength to protect my sector and I’m willing to learn.
Over the years, I’ve taught myself not to care what others thought about me. But I didn’t want to disturb the breeder’s sleep for some reason. The car ride to the airfield was pure torture.
I practically had to plug my nostrils so that I wouldn’t be overwhelmed by her tempting scent. In order to bear it, I had to open the window and keep my head close to it to get some fresh air. Because otherwise, I’d pounce on her.
When we arrived at my private plane, the Enforcer who’d traveled with me offered to carry her on the plane and I nearly ripped his head off at the thought of him putting his hands on her.
I’ve never been so instantly possessive over anyone and I found it unsettling. I’d carried her to the bedroom, only daring to look down at her face once. She was incredibly beautiful, more so than I was comfortable with.
I’d quickly deposited her on the bed and headed to the front to order one of the flight attendants to undress her so that she could rest comfortably.
I had intended to remain in the front of the cabin and delve deeper into her file to figure out the mystery of my new breeder.
But when I pulled up the file of her mobile file device, my mind continued to drift as I thought about her delicate features and that incredible scent. I’d barely slept during my trip to Sector 2 so I found myself drifting off as well.
I was awakened by the shrill sound of a scream.
Jumping to my feet, I raced back to the bedroom and saw my breeder sitting up, her expression disoriented and her breathing ragged.
I’m not sure how it happened but the next thing I know, she’s sliding out of bed and undressing.
I had not planned on fucking her before making it back home because I wanted to make sure she was given a proper examination by my physician and that she was settled in. But I found myself mesmerized by her body that was even more perfect I believed it to be when I first saw her. The shapeless dress she’d worn earlier did her figure no justice.
