Ruthless Mate - Chapter 41: Chapter 41

She was about to run into his arms but the way he looked at her coldly made her freeze on her spot.
"What a shameless mate you have, Alpha Draken. She pulled me here and was all over me," Jonathan hissed and she felt as if her heart ceased to beat at such a wrong declaration.
Her fingers curled into fists on her sides as she tried to control her anxiety. She couldn't breathe.
Draken stepped in and stalked towards her. She flinched and stepped back but he grasped her forearm and yanked her to him. His cold eyes lingered on the bruise on her cheek and her busted lip.
His hold tightened on her arm and she winced, his hold loosened as he looked at Jonathan. "I'm sorry on behalf of my mate," Draken gritted out with menace, and with each of his words, her heart dropped into the pit of her stomach.
"I'll teach her a proper lesson so she won't do it again," Draken growled.
"If it was anyone else at my place, the person would've taken the bait," Jonathan said as Draken turned around dragging her with him. Her chin quivered as she saw Jonathan smirking at her.
Draken coldly dragged her out of the party in front of everyone. All the eyes were on them.
He forced her into the car, he got in the driver's seat.
She was fisting her dress as he put the car to drive. It was clear as day that he thinks Jonathan was telling the truth. Her chin quivered as she wiped her tears. She will not cry and she will not explain to him anything if he thinks she did all that Jonathan told him. What churns her insides was Draken doubting her. How could he doubt his mate? Did he think of her as a characterless woman after all this time?
She noticed him calling someone. "Eren, I want you to kidnap Jonathan from the blood pack after the party, there should be no trace of North pack in this," Draken gritted on the phone as he cut the call.
She gulped not knowing what he was doing. They were still away from the pack that was why he called beta instead of mind-link.
She noticed that instead of going back to the pack he was driving in the city, and within ten minutes he turned into underground parking, going down the small incline before pulling up to space next to an elevator.
Getting out of the car, he rounded the hood and opened the door for her. Grabbing her small hand in his big one he pulled her out. They reached the elevator as it opened. They got inside, taking the brief and short ride up to the top floor.
Her heart was thumping in her ears but she refused to be scared of him. The elevator opened as they stepped out. Walking to the door he swiped the black card over the scanner and the door unlocked.
He stepped inside and the place lit up with bright lights on its own.
She was still standing at the door scared to step inside. Turning around he grabbed her hand and pulled her inside and closed the door. It was a penthouse.
Pulling her closer he cupped her bruised cheek making her flinch.
"I'll kill that f*cker. I'll cut him into tiny little pieces and make him regret his existence. How dare he f*cking lay his filthy hands on my mate." Draken growled.
Draken knew Jonathan did all that, maybe he was paid a hefty amount to do that. He might be telling that f*cking Alpha King how Draken didn't care for his mate but the f*cker won't be left alive to see the next sunset. But there could be chances that someone else might be Alpha King's man and Jonathan just decided to harass Aurora.
Aurora watched him stunned, almost immobile.
"I'll make him pay," Draken hissed coldly. He was fuming in rage.
The organ in his chest ached to see that bruise on her face and the cut on her lip. He could've killed that f*cker then and there but he didn't want to scare Aurora and she just needed comfort at the moment. She didn't want to see his dark side. He deliberately said those cruel words so Jonathan would believe Draken didn't care for his mate.
Tears swarmed in her eyes as with a low cry she abruptly wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. He was frozen but the way she sobbed he felt more infuriated with each passing second. He wrapped his arms around her frame and hugged her tightly.
"Please take his scent off me," She pleaded amidst the hiccups.
Moving away from her, he swiveled her around and slid down the zip of her dress. Within seconds the dress pooled around her feet on the floor. He picked her up in a bridal style as he walked to the restroom. He made her stand under the shower as he turned it on. She flinched as the cold water hit her skin. She was just in her black bra and panties and not once he looked down at her body.
Stepping back he got rid of his coat followed by his shirt.
Their eyes were in ceaseless contact as they gazed at each other with unspoken emotions.
She held her arms out to him and he stepped into her hold. The cold water cascaded down their bodies as he grabbed her waist. She shuddered, feeling the sparks as her tears got mixed with the water.
"H...he was lying," She hiccuped as he gently cupped her cheek peering down at her.
"I know. I know, baby. I trust you," He rasped kissing her forehead and she closed her eyes shut feeling the warmth of his lips.
He pulled back but she instantly stood on the tip of her toes as she cupped his cheeks and pulled him down, crashing her lips on his.
His eyes widened slightly and a current ran down his spine when her soft lips sucked on his lower lip.
She slowly pulled back but he didn't let her. His hand snaked to the nape of her neck as he pulled her into a passionate kiss. His free arm snaked around her waist, flushing her body to his chest as sparks exploded.
A gasp escaped her lips and he slipped his tongue in her mouth kissing her passionately, devouring her mouth like a starved man, when she responded with equal fervor he growled in need, deepening the kiss.
She took a breather as his lips gave hot feathery kisses on her jaw and neck. "P...please, remove his scent from me," She pleaded and he sucked on her neck making her shiver.
Golden specs shone in his eyes as his gums tingled. His canines emerged and all of a sudden he peeled himself off of her.
She panted as her back touched the wall. She could feel her canines emerging when she looked at him. Her heart trembled to see his wolf peeking at her.
He wanted to mark her but he was controlling himself.
"Draken," She whispered tenderly.
"Please mark me," She murmured and that was all he needed to hear because the next thing he was on her.
