TANYA:
A tear ran down my eyes as I hurried away and began heading toward the path I knew Tristan would take. I couldn’t believe what was happening at the moment because everything was still very confusing to me. I had suspected Leo was going to do something stupid, and I was right.
What the hell was Tristan trying to do? Get Leo pissed out by snatching his mate? The bull and cock story about Katherine being his mate, I still couldn’t believe it because it felt more like this was him trying to pay Leo back.
If Leo found out about this, everything would go wrong, and even more I would become dead meat because he would certainly kill me or keep me locked up for years.
I got to the house first and broke the lock before stepping in. I was simply tired of Tristan’s behavior and maybe I was starting to think that Leo was right. Nothing would ever be able to change him. I only thought that maybe he needed another chance to change.
As I stepped into the house, I headed straight for his room to find maybe anything at all that could be suspicious. Tristan was already out of his f*cking mind and if he was going to take this far, then he had to face me first. And now, he was willing to drag innocent Katherine into all of this. The family feud and everything when she deserves nothing of this. I was scared of what would happen if Katherine found out everything.
After searching, I found something and gritted my teeth in anger. They were Katherine’s pictures and some information about her as well.
“F*ck! Maybe I was wrong, Tristan. Maybe I was f*cking wrong this time.” I muttered to myself and squatted so I could find anything else under the drawer, but I suddenly heard his deep voice,
“Do you want me to give you more of that?” I rose to my feet and cocked my head towards him. The sight of him standing by the door with his hands tucked into his pocket and a smile attached to his face was enough to make me almost run mad.
“Why? What do you think you’re doing, Tristan? Compelling the board members so everyone thinks you’re one of the board members? For what? So you could be closer to our brother’s mate?” I questioned him trying as hard as possible to hold myself from doing anything stupid at the moment,
“He is not my brother Tanya.” I watched him take a deep breath in, “He was never my brother right from the beginning.” Then again, he became silent for a few seconds,
“And this is me trying to get to know my mates better. I don’t f*cking care about Leo, and I have no business with him. Maybe I found something that I’m willing to fight for now, so I’m not leaving like we agreed on, Tanya. I tried to control the mate bond at first, but right now I don’t want to do that anymore.”
He turned to leave, but I yelled his name at the top of my voice,
“Please stop all of this. Leo’s going to kill me once he finds out that I was the one who let you out of there. Do you know the dangers you’re going to put me into? Who do you care about more? Me or her?” Whatever ways or methods I had to use just to get his emotions, I was willing to do it. He had promised me to leave, but right now he was about to cause great havoc on the pack.
“He’ll get angry, and trust me he’ll even punish you, but he’s never going to hurt you for so long, Tanya,” Tristan responded, and his response broke my heart even more. How could I not be scared? There was no way that he could stay here in the same pack with Leo. It would be havoc.
“Maybe Leo was right, I should have left you there. I never should have even pitied you for once. Trust me, brother, you never deserved even the tiniest bit of my pity, and now I’m starting to understand why you were in there for so long. I’m….”
He suddenly dashed towards me, and before I knew what was happening, I found my body slammed against the wall so hard that I winced in so much pain,
His eyes were so red with rage, and I could see it. I had managed to get him angry and I was happy I did. All I wanted was his damn attention,
“Do it! Do whatever is in your mind right now, Tristan.” I managed to speak even though his claws were slowly getting buried into the flesh on my neck.
“You crossed the line, Tanya.” He said to me, tightening his grip on my neck, and I groaned in pain. I could feel hot tears clinging to my brows. Tristan would never hurt me, right? He was the one who loved me most, but right now he was hurting me more than anyone could. I was willing to sacrifice my life and everything just to get him out of that hell called dungeon,
When I was starting to feel choked up, I called his name softly,
“Tristan” I couldn’t struggle, but he suddenly let go of me and I fell to the floor like a log of wood because my body was so stiff and I couldn’t move. He squatted to my level, and heaved,
I knew what he was going to do, so I said almost in a whisper,
*Don’t. Please don’t, I just want to feel pain”
When I said this, he rose to his feet.
“You should leave, Tanya..” he paused, and then continued, “leave, and I don’t want to see your face again for a while. After he said this, he turned around and began to walk away, while I let go of the tears clinging to my brows, and stared at his feet till he was gone.
