Chapter 72: Hello girls! missed me?

Selene POV

I dug my heel in the ground, refusing to move an inch.

"What about?" I asked him calmly. Even though I was quaking like a leaf within. I could tell he was angry and an angry Lycan wasn’t always a good thing. This would also be the first time he has been angry at me.

"Don’t make me repeat myself," he snarled as he rose to his feet and in a loud voice commanded me again "Come here!"

Bracing myself for the worst, I crossed the room to where he was. As soon as I reached him, he grabbed me and threw me on the bed. And in one swift motion, he tore my clothes from my body as he settled himself beside me. I gritted my teeth, forcing back the tears that pooled in my eyes... I couldn’t fight him.

"It has gotten to this, Noah?" a small smile played on my lips.

He pinned to the bed as he hovered over me, his eyes were cold... cold with disdain. It wasn’t his wolf working because he was very much normal. Suddenly, he lets go of me and goes to sit at the edge of the bed. After a while, he rose to his feet and went in the direction of the closet.

He returned a few minutes later and threw a gown at me "Put that on and meet me outside the pack house in the garden,".

With that he turned on his heels and left the room. Visibly shaken by what had just played out, I manage to rise from the bed and hurriedly wore the dress he had given me. I tied my hair into a bun and looked around for anything I could use as a weapon if he tries to attack me.

My eyes landed on a small tabletop knife and I grabbed it and tucked it inside my boot before leaving the room. When I got to the garden, he was sitting quietly under the persimmon tree, his eyes were closed and his body limp as if he was meditating.

"Sit!" he commanded tapping at the empty space beside him on the garden bench.

Slowly, I walk towards the bench and sat down putting as much distance as I could between us. We stayed in the silence, until I was getting tired to just seating and doing nothing when finally, he spoke.

"Do you respect me, Selene? What am I to you?"

I paused... that was definitely not the kind of question I was expecting. So, I stayed limp for a while trying to understand why he was asking me this.

"You’re my husband," I said finally.

"Your husband?" he scoffed and turned to me "Do you even have the tiniest respect for me? I am the Lycan King for Moon’s sake but you take me for granted, you know that I love you and I want and need you and yet you have repeatedly disobeyed me, denied me of my rights as your husband and mate and you had the effrontery to invite my ex to dinner without letting me know. What was your plan? To torture me with her presence,".

"I was only trying to be civil Noah," I said gently "And I respect you so much and never have I taken your love for me for granted. I swear to the moon!"

"Oh, shut up!" he snapped and grabbed my shoulders "From today henceforth, I’ll have you whenever I want and at whatever time. You’ll not resist me, you’ll not come in my way nor give me excuses because it is your duty as my wife and Luna and you’ll get pregnant and carry my pups,".

Anger surged through me as I sat still looking at him. His hands on my shoulders were beginning to hurt me but I gritted my teeth swallowing the pain.

"Yes, your majesty," I said coldly.

"And, you’ll never do anything without first seeking my permission. You’ll not invite anyone, do anything regarding even the girls without informing me yet. Do I make myself clear?" he growled.

"Yes, your majesty!"

Panting, he lets go of me and turned away not before I saw the conflicted feeling that passed through him. I sat down demurely staring at him. I didn’t know what changed. I couldn’t even tell if it was the whole situation that had gotten him so riled up as he was but I decided to stay still.

A while later, he turned to me "Strip!"

"Your majesty," I tried to sound polite "We’re in the middle of the garden, what if someone passes by,".

"I said strip!" he growled, his eyes blazing with annoyance.

I sighed inwardly but slowly rose to my feet with a blank expression on my face. I slowly reached for the zipper at the back of my dress and in one swift motion, I zipped it down. Then slowly, I removed my hands from the sleeves of the ground, allowing it to pool at my feet.

I was naked underneath, so there was nothing else to remove. I walked over to Noah and stood in front of him. He dragged me close then buried his head on my abdomen as his body shook with sobs. I just stood there motionlessly, confused at what to do. I didn’t know I should console him or if I should mind my business. It was so conflicting for me at this point.

When he was spent, he rose to his feet and pushed me back to the bench then flipped me so I was backing him.

"Kneel on the bench," I heard him say.

Obediently, I knelt and arched my waist towards him. I felt him run a hand through my slit and I bit back a moan. I had to punish him with thinking that I didn’t like this at all. He removed his hand and, in a flurry, replaced it with himself.

He held onto my waist as he pounded onto me steadily without relenting. I didn’t say a word, I just sat there, limp in his hands as I allowed him do his thing. I felt him going a bit out of rhythm and I suspected that he was close.

Suddenly he flipped me to face him. Our gaze met and held, I could see pain in his eyes and I didn’t know why he was doing this when it was clear that he was being hurt. As for me, I was used to this setting.

I was used to being a warm body, a pleasure toy and I did it for seven years, so this was nothing compared to it. His eyes left mine and settled at the base of my neck. He leaned in and swiftly sank his teeth there as he marked me.

Spent, he immediately straightened and buckled himself while I picked up my gown and slipped it over my head then stood before him waiting for further instructions. He stared at me for a while, I could tell he was struggling with something.

"Go back to the house, there’s somewhere I need to be,".

Typical me would have asked him where he wanted to run off to but I bowed my head slightly and turned starting for the pack house. As I went, I could feel his gaze on me.

That night, he didn’t come to bed until it was 3am the next day. He reeked of alcohol and cheap perfume as he climbed in next to me and immediately, he pulled me to himself as I heard him fumbling with his belt.

He grunted as he raised my gown up and without any preamble forced his way into me.

That was all I needed to know... at least last night wasn’t a mistake.

~~~

I was reading a book while keeping an eye on the girls.

I had wanted to check all the candidates that have applied for the Beta position but I was too lazy and sore to do it. So, I gave the nannies the day off, deciding I wanted to spend quality time with my children.

They were deep in a conversation about what they would do when they go back to Greyhound. At some point, I lost interest in their talk and held the book in front of me pretending I was reading.

Occasionally, I will flip it, to act like I was turning pages. My mind was occupied with thoughts of last night. What could have possibly happened? Until last night, Noah had been unbelievably good to me.

We made love and I marked him. Thereafter, his Beta, Reid came into the office. I don’t know what happened from there? Did Reid tell him anything? I tried to go over my actions for a while now and I’ve been on my best behaviour for a while now. So, what could possibly be the problem?

Was it something to do with Brooke? Did her presence last night cause him so much distress? But if it did, it would have shown yesterday at the office when I entered.

I hissed, as my head throbbed with pain, I could feel headache brewing. As I stood to cross the room to get water for myself, the door opened and Xavier’s head loomed at the entrance. He had a bright smile on his face.

"Hello girls, missed me?"
