He pulls the knife out of her leg, tosses it to the floor, and rips the lace thong from her body, exposing the red curls covering her pussy.
"You will address me as your mate for the rest of our time together. If you don't, I will have no choice but to stab other pieces of your delicate flesh as a reminder."
Trying to play out your fantasy of Lana being your mate. Fucking disgusting.
She nods her acquiescence, tears running freely down her face as he cups her heat, nails digging into her flesh as he snarls, "This is mine. Do you understand me?" Another nod comes from her but she shakes his head, tutting. " What did I just say?"
He leans to retrieve the knife as she yells, "Yes! Yes! I understand, my mate!"
"Too late. What type of ruler would I be if I didn't follow through on my word? No one would listen."
She whimpers, trying to contain the hysteria that I can almost see buzzing beneath her skin. Has she realized that there are no chances of her getting out of here alive?
How could he be this cruel? How did he become this monster?
How do I stand back and let this happen?Fuck!
How am I supposed to live with myself if I don’t at least try to help this woman? How will I meet Lana’s gaze? Lana would take this woman’s place in a heartbeat and here I am, weighing the cost and benefit of saving a life. Have I always been such a coward?
No one deserves this.
Indecision swamps me and I mull over the possibilities.Idon’t even understand our connection. I don’t know the boundaries of what I can do. Is there a way for me to overwhelm him, to take control, if only for a brief moment?
Anshar tightens our hand around her neck, tilts her head up, and smashes our face into hers, presumably shoving our tongue down her throat. I can’t feel any of our actions, only see them, which I’m thankful for at moments like this.
I want to be able to help Lana and my brothers but I can’t handle watching another woman be raped and killed by my hands, even if it isn’t me who’s in control of the actions.
“I’m going to undo your restraints and give you another shot at being a good mate for me. Do you understand?”
This is my chance.I need to stop him long enough for her to run away. I don’t know if any of his underlings would stop her but damn it, I have to trysomething.
She nods meekly and mutters, “Yes, my mate.”
He moves to unclip her metal cuffs and then yanks her to a sitting position. Blood flows freely down her leg and she winces as he grabs her ass and slides it to the edge of the slab. He begins to undo our pants, fisting the now-erect dick underneath.
No. I will not let him rape another woman. I can’t let him do what he did to Lana.
Hopefully he thinks I’m still locked away. Maybe he doesn’t realize I’m still lurking here. I’m hoping his walls will be down, giving me a brief opportunity.
Her face is a mask of numbness, accepting what’s about to happen as fate. I think back to Lana as she realized what Anshar took from her.
As he spreads her legs and guides our dick to her entrance, covered in her blood, I use every ounce of energy I can muster and scream into our shared mind as I fight for control, “No!I will not allow you to do this!”
I concentrate on holding our body still, straining with the effort mentally.
“How the fuck are you still here, human? I banished you. How dare you interrupt me.”
I feel my strength waning as I look her in the eyes and choke out, “Run, quickly.”
Determination flares in her eyes and she drags herself off the table as quickly as her leg will allow. I struggle to hold onto control as the door slams shut behind us.
Hold on, Ash. Hold on. A few more seconds for her to save herself.
Our body trembles with the battle between our conflicting thoughts and directions.
I can’t hold on any longer. He pushes me back into the darkness but I resist, even though I know it’s inevitable. As I feel myself fading, I cling to the relief that I at least gave her a chance, however small.
“I will get you expelled from this body permanently. A trip to the mage will fix whatever the fuck has gone wrong with this spell. Enjoy your trip back to the darkness. You won’t be coming back.”
