Now his touch burned.
1 felt nauseated and filled with fury.
1 struggled against him which only made him hold me tighter. It was no secret that he was much stronger than me despite all the training I had in my defense classes. It didn‘ help that he hurt my body and made me weaker as a person, not to mention my wolf was blocking me so I couldn’t channel any of her strength.
He bit my lower lip, causing me to gasp in pain. That was enough time for him to shove his tongue into my mouth. I pushed at his chest as he started to push me towards my bed. Panic was striking me so fast that I was losing my train of thought. In a rush, I bit down on his tongue as hard as I could, making me stop kissing me and howl in pain.
I pushed at him again, but he refused to let go of me. Instead, his lips found the nape of my neck, right above his mark which refused to fade after his rejection. He bit just above the mark, and I felt him sucking on it hard.
“Ethan, get off me!” I demanded.
I felt his smile against the nape of my neck as he released my flesh from his teeth.
“Gladly,” he muttered just as he let me go and I fell to the ground with a thud.
My neck throbbed from his hard kissing, biting, and sucking. I reached my shaky fingers up to touch the spot and I winced when I felt the hickey forming on my skin. I let out distressed whimper which he quickly shushed. When I looked up at him, I saw that he had pulled out his phone and, on the screen, I noticed Irene’s name flashing
across.
She was calling him; of course, she was, I thought to mysel
He answered the call and turned his back to me.
“Hey, babe,” he said sweetly. His tone completely changed from bitter to loving in a matter of seconds. I pulled myself up to my feet using my bed and I wrapped my arms around my body like I was desperately trying to hold myself together. “Yeah, I just stepped out for a few. I’ll be home soon though. Want me to pick you up anything to eat?”
He paused for another moment; I sat on my bed, my legs refusing to work any longer. Tears burned in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall while he was standing in my bedroom. I wasn’t going to let him see me weaken.
“Sure, I’ll surprise you,” he replied kindly. “I’ll see you soon. I love you,”
A jab of pain hit my chest, and I winced like he had just slapped me.
He hung up the phone and then turned to me.
“Look, I came here to tell you that you need about $500,000 if you want to visit your father in prison,” he told me, shoving his phone back into his pocket. “If I remember correctly, that’s about the same amount of money
ur loan payment at school is ”
I couldn’t speak; I stared numbly at the ground. He stepped towards me and lowered himself, so he was at eye level, forcing me to look into his eyes.
“If you want to see your father, give up school and use the loan to pay. You’ll be able to see him getting tortured to the brink of death behind bars,” Ethan sneered. “Or you can become my mistress, and I’ll pay off his debt entirely. You’ll still have to give up school, but it’ll save him from being tortured. The choice is yours, Judy.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat, my entire body shuddering with pent–up fury. He smiled as he straightened

his posture.
“No matter the choice, Judy, you’ll always be mine. It’s best if you remember that. Now, if you’ll excuse me. I have a fiancé to tend to.”
Without another word, he turned and left my room, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
I spent the remainder of the night lying in bed; tears spilling out of my eyes. I had a bad feeling about what was about to happen, and it was making me feel sick to my stomach. At some point, my wolf unblocked me, probably sensing that I needed her comfort after what Ethan had just put me through. ↑
How could he do this to me? How could he do this to my family?
My poor
father was lying in prison because of him, and there was nothing I could do.
Hours after Ethan had left, I finally started to fall asleep. However, I was brutally awoken by the pain coursing through my veins; it felt as if my entire insities were on fire starting from the mark on my neck. I screamed out in agony as I put my hand over the mark; every single bone in my body ached.
My wolf whimpered and cried along with me, also feeling the same pain.
“Mate,” I heard my wolf crying. “Another… woman!”
It was then that I realized what she was trying to say.
Ethan was having sex with another woman!
