“You’re such a good girl,” he soothes, and I smile. I am a good girl. “Can you say something?”
Of course I can. But why would I when his mellifluous voice is so nice, and he’s talking to me so sweetly?
“She’s not in control,” my bonded male says, his eyes still focused on me, and the realisation hits me. These are my wolf’s feelings. Not mine. She’s still causing me shit. “Her wolf is running this show.”
“Her wolf?” someone says, and I turn to glare at the red-headed male. I scoff, and turn back to the pretty one in front of me with that sad look on his face, with the beautiful baby blues only slightly hidden by his thick, long eyelashes.
He’s so pretty.
So perfect.
So mine.
“Oh, I fucking love her wolf,” someone says, but I don’t look away from the male in front of me. I made that mistake a moment ago, and the fox just wasn’t worthy enough of my attention. He was rude and dismissive. Not like the griffin. My griffin.
The others may have a tie to me, but they do not carry my mark. Not like the griffin does. He’s a smart male, a strong male, and I can’t wait to—
“Nora,” the Alpha calls, his tone soft and sweet as he tries to demand my attention. He’s standing across the room from me, and the heavy scent of distress from him hurts.
But I ignore him.
“She’s ignoring you, bro,” someone says, and there’s some laughter. I don’t laugh, though.
I don’t think I can.
“Nora,” he calls again, still using the same tone, but once again, I don’t respond to it.
I won’t.
I can’t.
I retreated into my mind, giving my wolf the power to control our body, but she’s useless. She’s trying to force me to answer the call of our Alpha, to force me to merge with her properly, but I won’t.
I can’t.
For so long she’s been the enemy, the thing that I’ve battled for years to protect myself from, and now… now she’s ready to be whole again and expects me to just get with the program.
But I can’t just pretend the last six years didn’t happen.
I can’t pretend she didn’t leave me, that I didn’t try to kill myself because of the pain I’ve endured.
I can’t pretend that I’m okay. I just can’t.
“Nora,” he repeats again, this time sounding a little bit more firm. There’s still the softness, the talking to me like I’m some kind of wounded animal, but he’s getting a little frustrated now.
A small part of me wants to push him, to see how far he’ll go, to see how he’ll react when I don’t bend to his will.
But is that desire coming from me the human or me the wolf?
That’s not even a debate that’s needed. It’s the wolf. It’s always the fucking wolf.
She’s still causing problems with my men, still wanting to cause tension between us, despite having shifted and aligned us together.
She’s meant to be on my side now. Isn’t that why she decided we shouldn’t kill ourselves?
Or is she going to continue being a selfish entity, only wanting what is best for her, and forcing me to go along with her goals?
She wants to continue living whilst condemning me to eternal pain? Is that it? Is that the new plan?
