Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 90

"W-what?" I ask my body beginning to shake more than it was before.

"Did you think drowning you in cold water was a torture strategy?" Jalex raises his eyebrows as he leans down in front of me. I push myself as far back as I could, keeping as much distance between us as possible. "Oh no, no. I'm just trying to keep your temperature down so you don't die on me. A shewolf's heat can be lethal, fatal even."

My jaw clenches as he pushes through my safe space. His nose brushing against the side of my temple as he dares to connect his lips to my skin.

"Tell me, is he scared?"

I release a breath I didn't know I was holding. "You should be the one who's scared. After all, he did kill your daddy."

"Yes, he did kill them and for that he will suffer an unbearable death."

"Them?" Confusion laced my tone. Who's them? Ajax only killed the man who violated him and his father who allowed such horrible events to take place.

A dark chuckle rises from his chest as he pushes his hands through my tangled hair causing me to flinch. His touch was soft at first but became rough quickly. He pulled on my hair tightly, bringing my face closer to his.

"If you know anything about that pathetic son of a bitch's battle plan, I will give you a death more unbearable than his." He practically roared in my face. With a violently shove he releases his hold on me, my head bouncing off of the wall behind me. I clench my jaw in anger, trying not to release any painful noises. I didn't want to give these people anymore satisfaction I'm done crying like a weak child.

"You're all, fools." I sigh and rest my aching head on my knees.

"Shut up, bitch." Cynthia sneers. I don't bother to look up as a set of foot steps begin to descend the stairs.

My eyes close tiredly and my mind immediately pictures my mate. Once I feared him so greatly that I risked my life to get away from him and now I want nothing more than for him to come get me. To rescue me.

I shouldn't need him to rescue me. I am better than this. Although these silver chains don't leave me with much of a choice.

"Alpha, the warriors are lining up now as we speak and will be ready for battle in thirty minutes. There has been a wolf detected a few yards outside of the territory lines, what would you like to do." Ted's voice is taught and strict, almost scaring me. That man is too uptight for his own good.

"Well aren't you pretty?" He chuckles as he bends down to unzip the duffle bag.

"Shut up and keep it moving. Boss wants her upstairs and out of here with the rest of us in five minutes." Ted says pulling on a thick pair of black leather gloves. Is he going to remove my chains? Is this my chance to escape?

My heart rate increased slight at the thought of getting out of here. My thoughts faltered as I imagine taking on the both of these men. Would I even be able to take down ted on my own? Gosh I am the most pathetic Alpha female I've ever met. I'm sure cipher would've figured away out of this, she's a bad ass. Hell. I'm sure Cipher would never even get caught in a mess like this. Only an idiot like me could manage do something so dumb

I watch carefully ad Ted removes a lighter and smaller pair of silver chains from the duffle bag. Great, I'm really never going to escape. He gives me warning glare, almost begging me not to do anything stupid. But like I said I'm an idiot.

The moment Ted gets close I lurch forward and take a bite out if his jogger clad legs, my fangs tearing through his pants and flesh.

"What the fuck?!" He growls jumping back and nearly falling. He drops the silver chains and grasps on to the fresh wound. I spit out the metalic tasting blood and smile a little. "You fucking crazy bitch!"

The man behind him begins to cackle, nearly falling over from laughter. "Oh jeez! She got you good!" He had a bit of a southern accent which made me wonder where he's from and whats he doing way out here in the east.
