Free Web NovelChapter 17: Cut your wings
The sky was already dark when Xavier’s car stopped at the park house. The engine stopped with a hum. Yuki stayed seated on the passenger’s seat just staring at the imposing building which was colder inside than outside.
"Aren’t you stepping out? " Xavier spoke softly, his gaze settled on Yuki’s face. He noticed the way her brows pulled together staring at the building.
She looked better compared to earlier today. Her complexion was better and not pale like she was about to faint. He couldn’t help but wonder why someone staying in the pack house almost collapsed from hunger.
Yuki sighed heavily then reached for her seat belt. "I am just exhausted," she said, giving Xavier a smile. He was truly a breath of fresh air in this hellhole. Her hands reached for the door.
"Also thanks for today. I apologise for the trouble," she mentioned about to step out
"It was nothing. I am glad I could help." He replied with that effortless smile. Yuki got out of the car, the cold night air welcomed her, blowing through the strands of her blonde hair. She felt a chill under her skin.
She turned around to close the door. Xavier’s voice stopped her before she could. "Wait, can I have your number?" He requested to take her guard for a moment. She blinked
He kept his smile. "Your wolf isn’t fully awakened, I thought the phone would be a better option." He explained and Yuki snapped out of it.
She immediately pulled out her phone. "Of course. I will call in right now." She blurted out. They quickly changed the number. Yuki stood by the porch and watched his taillights disappear from her.
She released a heavy breath forming a layer of mist under her nose before she turned and entered the building. The pack house was under constant surveillance and comprised of multiple buildings, including the administration areas and residential home of the alpha
The guards were specially trained to stay out of sight. It was late, and the door creaked loudly in the silence. It felt eerie in a way Yuki didn’t like. She closed the door behind her and continued through the foyer.
Her footsteps echoed through the walls. The light was dim and a strange feeling crawled up her spine. The feeling of being watched. She tried to shrug off the feeling and continued to head towards her room.
She went up the stairs and just when she was about to turn into a new corridor, a cold voice stopped her right in her tracks. "Why are you coming back this late?" Her head snapped to the side to meet a pair of sapphire eyes.
His gaze was calm on the surface but something underneath froze her in place. He was leaning against the wall, a cigarette hung from his lips. The burnt ember glowed at the tip.
Kaden arched his brow at her, his hand remained crossed. "Did something cut your tongue? Are you just returning with Xavier?" He pressed on. He pulled out the cigarette blowing out a puff of smoke before dropping it on the floor.. he immediately crushed the cigarette
Yuki was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect to walk into a cross-examination but watching the disdainful look on his face, all shred of fear disappeared from her. She clenched her fist. "Why the hell do you care?" She snapped at him trying to walk past him but his hand caught her arm immediately
"Don’t walk away from me." He hissed a strong pressure resonated from him that made her legs tremble. "And most importantly, mind the way you talk to me, Yuki. What do you think you are doing staying out this late?"
His tone threw her off. Yuki’s heart raced, why did he look upset? Till it ticked her off. Who gave him the right to be upset at anything she fucking did?!
Yuki’s face twisted and she yanked her hand from his hold using all the strength she could gather. Kaden wasn’t expecting it from her, his hold slipped and she stumbled from his hold..
A sharp pain shot from her leg injury which wasn’t properly healed. Yuki hissed and braced herself from falling..
"What does coming late have to do with you, Kaden? Just because you are a future alpha doesn’t give you the right to question me. " her voice cut through with a sharp tone. "You are nothing to me."
Her sharp tone got under Kaden’s nerves. He stepped forward crowding her with his height. "You truly have grown wings just because you slapped me earlier and now have your claws of Xavier.." he snickered. His gaze lowered scanning over her.
"It’s barely been a week and you are already trying to get into someone’s bed. You are truly like your sister." He added and something went cold in Yuki. She bloody hated him. She didn’t care who he was but he had no damn right to talk to her that way..
Her hand moved on its own to his face, and the words rushed out. "You have no right to judge me. Even if there is something between Xavier and me, it has nothing to do with you." She barked. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Her hand never got to his face. Kaden caught it mid-air and spun her around pushing her against the wall. His hands quickly caged her and the look in his eyes got darker.
"You really think you can slap me. You really forgot your fucking places. Xavier’s guts are really rubbing on you. " he sneered at her. Kaden crossed the distance between them.
His scent immediately crowded her mixed with the cigarette. Yuki’s heart beat dropped to her stomach and the look in his eyes genuinely terrified her but it only made her angrier.
She met his gaze head-on. Her chin was tilted in a taunting way. "Why can’t I slap you?" She sneered. "A scumbag like you who has a mate and yet goes around kissing other girls."
Kaden’s jaw clenched. Yuki scoffed, her tone turned sharper, ignoring the pressure around her. "I can do what I fucking want Kaden. Even if I fuck Xavier or stay out late with him at least he isn’t a scumbag like you and definitely knows how to treat a woman well that he doesn’t need his brother’s help..."
Her words touched a sour spot. Kaden leaned closer his breath fanned against her face. "You want his cock in you so badly" he sneered. His voice dropped to an nice tone.
"You can go around doing whatever the fuck you want but remember this is Ravencourt Yuki." He sneered. "If something happens to you it becomes my bloody problem. So miss, I can do whatever I want, I have the power and right to restrict your movements..." he said in a serious tone Yuki knew it wasn’t a joke.
"Don’t think you have wings to fly around because your sister is getting married to Alex because I can fucking cut those wings when I want to.." All the rage she was carrying quenched immediately not because she wasn’t angry anymore but because it was pointless.
Against him, she couldn’t do anything. "Stop fucking moving around so late." He said in a final tone then reduced his voice to a whisper just between them. "And don’t think you can get away with that kiss. You were the one who kissed and slapped me. "Her body trembled all over
Yuki clenched her fist so tight it dug into her palms. A low laugh slipped out of her lips. "Mr Ravencourt you have something wrong there you were the one who couldn’t stop. You were so damn hard it felt like you wanted fuck me there. "
Her words left him dumbfounded because he remembered how heated he was at that moment. The thought really crossed her mind. While his mind scrambled for a retort a calm voice cut through the tension.
"What is going on here?" Kaden froze instantly and Yuki’s head snapped to the side, meeting another pair of sapphire eyes. Kieran’s face was hidden in the shadows but the look in his eyes made her stomach freeze.
