47 An Angered Wolf

Jules' pov

My heart was racing really fast and my stomach was in tight knots as I stepped into the elevator along with Kai.

After I realized how late it was about an hour ago, I had informed Kai about wanting to head back as fast as possible. He had been alarmed at first, thinking something was wrong, but I was quick to reassure him that everything was alright. Because, what was I going to say to him?

That I'm rushing back because Blaze had asked me not to be late tonight?

He insisted on returning back with me, and throughout the cab ride, I remained tense while trying to think about what Blaze is gonna do to me tonight.

"Are you sure nothing's wrong?" Kai asked once again and I glanced at him before shaking my head in response.

"Nothing is, I promise." I responded just as the elevator stopped on the third floor which he said he and a friend were rooming together in.

I thought he was gonna step out at once, but that didn't happen. Instead, he tugged me into a hug. My eyes widened in shock at the unexpectedness of the hug and as I felt his hands stroked my back, I swallowed emptily and bit on my bottom lip as I gently returned the hug.

"I enjoyed the time we spent out together and I really wish we can do something like that again." He breathed out before slowly pulling out of the hug.

"We should do that again some other time, hm?" He continued and I nodded my head tensely. "Yeah, that sounds nice."

I like Kai's vibes and I also like hanging out with him, but I wished he'd understand that this isn't the right time for a conversation like this. Right now, I'm currently drowning in panic and worry, and the time he spent hugging me, I could have used it to get to the forth floor.

He finally stepped out of the elevator, waving at me as it slid close. I heaved out a deep breath once I was finally alone, and after a few seconds, it slowly dawned on me that Kai's scent has clung to my body after that hug.

Shit!

I swore underneath my breath as I hastily shoved my hands into my pockets, searching for more scent blockers which I got from Andrian.

My heart instantly dropped into my stomach on realizing that my pockets where the scent blockers had been in, were now completely empty.

Oh heavens.

I really am doomed tonight.

As I walked down the hallway and stopped in front of the room I'm currently sharing with Blaze, panic gripped every inch of my mind as I contemplated on how I was gonna explain myself to him tonight. Because, somehow, I already know that I'd definitely have to explain myself to him.

And how would I even explain Kai's scent being on me? The first time he cornered me in the restroom back in school, he gave me a clear warning to never smell wrong again. And what did I do tonight? Wear Kai's scent while returning very late.

I really am a really dumb person.

Those thoughts danced around in my mind as I began to pace left and right, because I couldn't find the will and physical strength to knock on the door.

After some moments, I decided to stop wasting time out here because it's undoubtedly gonna make him feel like I'm just arriving, when I've been standing out here for minutes.

With a deep inhale and exhale, I knocked against the door, eyes squeezed tightly.

There was no response the first time.

After knocking the second time and increasing the force, I didn't get a response this time either, but I heard the key getting turned, indicating that the door just got opened. At once, my heartbeat raced faster and I gulped as I gripped the door handle and slowly tugged the door open after a little hesitation.

There was no one behind the door, and I felt my knees wobble from fear as I stared into the darkness, while wondering why Blaze quickly went back into the sitting room or bedroom after unlocking the door, and how he had even managed to be that fast without making a single noise.

I tentatively stepped in and pushed the door close behind me. It was completely dark here in the passageway and I began to blindly began to search for a light switch, heart pounding against my ribs.

I was still moving my hand over the walls when I felt a hand snake around my waist and a squeal flew out my mouth as I got hoisted up, and in a fleeting moment, the dark, familiar sandalwood scent engulfed every inch of me, causing me shudder in fright as I let out another scream.

A pair of cold lips ghosted over my ear and I felt my heart stumbled in my chest.

"Shhh."

It was a single word, but somehow, that word made more fear flood through every inch of my body.

It was completely dark in here, I couldn't see a thing and my legs weren't on the ground, all I could feel, hear and smell was Blaze.., and I'm not supposed to be scared out of my skin?

I suddenly felt him begin to move, jolting me against his hard body. His hands were strong around my thighs and waist, and even though I was extremely scared shitless right now, I was also scared of falling, because it felt like I'd sink right into this pitch darkness.

When he finally stopped moving, I felt myself being maneuverd once again before my feet met the ground. A hand was still wrapped around my waist and the front of my body was currently pressed against a hard one, and that made my throat feel super tight even as I felt my face heat up.

I couldn't see a thing right now, and that unnerved me even more, making me feel more powerless than I usually feel everyday since I lost my magic.

When I tried to pull away from the grip around my waist, a warning growl made me freeze up at once.

When he finally called my name, I flinched at once, heart racing and mind reeling. It was on a whisper, one which made shivers coursed down my spine.

He has never called me that before. It was always either bunny or pup, but never that

"Did you forget what I told you this morning?" He continued, voice husky, making my stomach start to heat up.

I found myself stiffly shaking my head while wishing I could see his face right now, then perhaps, I wouldn't be this frightened.

I was still silent when I felt a strong grip around my jaw, nudging my chin upwards, causing me to whimper as I gripped the hem of my shirt tightly.

"I expect audible answers whenever I ask you a question." The octave of his voice didn't increase this time, and I forced myself to swallow the lump in my throat.

"O- okay." I squeaked out.

"Good. So, did you remember what I told you this morning?" He repeated and panic flared in me, causing me to wish I could disappear right now.

"Yes, I- I do."

"Care to repeat it for me?"

"You asked m- me not to be l- late." I whispered slowly and he snorted, causing me to flinch.

"And what did you do tonight?" A tinge of amusement was in his voice now, which definitely meant bad news for me. Really bad news.

"I-…" I trailed off for a moment. "I returned late." I admitted, chest tight and nervous.

His hand which was still around my chin snaked around my neck until it was tugging into my hair, causing me to cry out as pain shot through my scalp.

Before I could gather my bearings, I felt hot breath ghosting over my face, causing me to shudder as goosebumps gathered over my skin.

"Why did you disobey me?"

As he spoke this time, the words hit me right in the face and his breath softly ghosted over my parted lips, causing my face to get engulfed in heat as I tried to focus on the question he had just asked, but being in such close proximity with him and feeling his hot breath against my lips while being unable to see a thing was making it impossibly hard for me to focus.

"I- I, uh… I didn't mean to." I ended up stuttering in response, and after a fleeting moment, I pushed out the next word stuck in my throat. "I'm really s- sorry."

"You are?" He drawled, clearly amused, and I instantly wondered if I had just said something stupidly wrong.

"I- I swear it." I whispered, while trying to ignore how warm he felt through his clothes, and how his scent was filling up every inch of my lungs.

"Are you also sorry for smelling wrong right now?" He continued and at once, my heart fell into my stomach.

Oh shit.

I had completely forgotten about that.

The grip in my hair tightened and I whimpered shakily, trembling against his body as his hold tightened across my waist.

"Why do you smell wrong, pup?" This time as he spoke, his lips were ghosting my ear and my breath hitched in my throat while my grip on my shirt tightened.

"I asked you to not arrive late, not just because I'm a possessive asshole, but because of your own safety, and like a good boy, I expected you to obey me. But, what did you do? Not only did you arrive late, you also came home smelling of an alpha. Smelling oh so wrong!" As he spoke, so did my heartbeat continue to accelerate until it felt like it would burst out of my chest.

A few things registered in my head from what he had just said, but I couldn't dwell on focus on any of them because he was nosing down my throat and next, I was shuddering against him as I felt his hot tongue drag against the long expanse of my throat.

An embarrassing whine bubbled past my throat when I felt the sharp, tiny edges of what are definitely sharp fangs, scraping against the spot where my pulse was racing, causing me to shudder tremendously.

When he bit me last night, these fangs hadn't been present.

"I'm so mad at you right now, bunny. I want to make you sob, I want to feel the tears slide down your soft, rosy cheeks, but I'm not going to do any of that right now, and do you know why?" Once he was done speaking, he sucked on a spot against my collarbone, causing me to whimper once again as I struggled to breath through the wave of liquid hot lava coursing through every inch of my veins. His tongue lapped over the same spot once he stopped sucking on it, and it felt like my brain shut down for a few seconds. When it came back to life, my skin felt extremely tight, my stomach felt like it had a coil of heat trapped in it, and it felt like said heat had traveled down, all the way to the spot between my thighs.

Oh heavens.

What was happening to me?

As soon as he pulled away, I was finally able to breathe, and at once, I tried racking my brain for a response to his question. But, before I could come up with anything, he continued from where he stopped.

"It's because there are other important issues to talk about right now, like why my scent is no longer on you like it was when you left this morning, and why you returned to me wearing someone else's scent. I want nothing but the truth… and you know I'd be able to tell if you lie."

I swallowed emptily, reminding myself that once again, I had dug this hole for myself. If I hadn't allowed Kai to hug me, if I hadn't sat close to him at the cinema, or if I hadn't gone out with him at all, then none of this would be happening right now.

"C- can you please turn on the lights?" I ended up whispering after a few seconds.

"No, bunny. The lights stay off until we're done with this conversation. After all, you don't need to see me since you can hear and feel me, isn't that right?" At the end of his sentence, he tugged me firmly against his chest and I felt my face grow impossibly hotter and I grasped his arms without meaning to.
