Rhea
1 recognize the cabin from earlier, the first time that I came here–when Aron brought me here. It wasn’t too long ago. But now it’s all so different, with Kael in control and Aron nowhere.
The skies are clear, I don’t understand what we are doing here. The roads are clear as well.
There’s no reason to
to stop
But it seems like he doesn’t want to continue on. He parks the car outside of it and then steps outside of it.
I stay where I am, unsure, scared. He doesn’t like my hesitation. He pulls open my door and reaches for my arm before taking hold of it
“Come on, you’re going to have a little taste of what your actions are going to lead to.” He pulls me out and makes me stand in front of him, and his hand doesn’t let go of my arm.
His eyes, they are as dark as they can get. They are cold, too.
What–what are we doing here?” I question as I follow him inside the cabin. The only difference this time is that there’s no one else with me
It’s just the two of us.
And I can tell that this isn’t going to be anything good.
“Did you really think we would be going back? That it would be that easy?” He opens the door with a key and looks back at me. “We’ll be staying here, for a while, for as long as I decide. The way he says that sends chills down my spine.
“Why
1 don’t go in directly. I don’t know what’s awaiting inside there, and I don’t think it’s good either.
“I don’t trust you, Rhea. And until you learn your lesson and prove yourself to me that you are not a threat, I cannot take you back to my territory. There’s no assurance that your mouth won’t get you in trouble. The way he speaks, it’s so different.
1 heave in a breath and step inside the cabin. It’s secluded, far from anything and anyone.
“Can I call my mother? She must be worried that I left so abruptly–1 remove my phone, and before I can do anything else, his hand grabs onto it
“There’s no need.
“Please, I whisper, “I don’t want her to be worried.”
“What did you tell her?
He’s concerned that I might have let it spill out–his truth
“Nothing” I shake my head. “I told her nothing about anything. I just came last night and told her that I needed somewhere
To stay for a while”
He steps closer. “Why did you leave? The words come out harshly

My breathing races. I can feel the panic. He knows the answer already, I can see it in his gaze, but he wants to hear it from
- me.
I thought you’d hurt me if I stayed.”
“Did you think I’d not find you?”
My lips part, “Not so quick and-“I stop talking. This isn’t Aron that I’m talking to.
No.
“And”
“Nothing”
“No. Say it
I swallow, shaking my head. I don’t want to. “Nothing.”
I can see the fury growing in him. “Tell me, Rhea. Continue. I’ll not ask you again.” He warns.
I close my eyes. “I thought by the time that you’d come, it would be enough time that you’d calm down and you wouldn’t be this.”
“This?” His eyes go over my face, and I feel my skin tingling, feel his touch, his hand going over the skin of my jaw and down the side of my neck. “You thought it would be Aron coming for you? That’s not going to happen. There are some things only I can handle”
He tilts his head as he speaks, watching my reaction, seeing what I’m feeling, what I’m thinking. He takes a step toward me. and I feel my heart pounding harder in my chest as I back off and feel my back hitting the wall behind me. There’s no place to escape to, to go.
Talking to him, to Kael, I feel like I can’t hide what I’m feeling or what’s in my mind. He can read it all. He’s too many steps ahead, too smart, too cunning.
His gaze is hard as it remains on me, but his hand slips away from my face. He takes a few steps back before going to the front door that’s on the right. With a click of the key, he lock
it and returns to me.
“Don’t even think of going anywhere. The next time you do, I won’t come looking for you. No. I’ll go straight to your family’s house and start taking away each and every one of them, one at a time, and I won’t spare anyone.” The words are at threat. He doesn’t care. I can see that. He doesn’t
“What do you want from me?” My words are barely a whisper.
“Submission.”
That’s all it takes for me to
to understand what he wants, what he’s planning to do to me.
Tve given you too much freedom. And you’ve proven that you’re not to be trusted with anything. His hand touches my face, my skin, and his eyes follow,
He leans forward, his body towering over me as he traps me in, his arm on one side,
“What Kovas dad, he’ll pay the price for it, and he’s already paying it, he continues. “But you,” he tilts his head to the side, and I can feel his warm breath against the skin of my check. “You have been tricking me, suppressing me for weeks now. If you weren’t my mate, I would’ve killed you already. He’s a monsteT,

Take of your clothes. I don’t want to see you wearing those.” His tone is low, but I hear him perfectly.
I reach for the bottom of my t–shirt and slowly pull it over my head. I don’t meet his gaze, keeping mine down. When it’s every head and I toss it aside, my ingers go for my pants and unbutton them before slipping them down.
When I look up at him. I find him staring at my chest.
