Chapter 108
He grabbed my neck and claimed my lips like he’d been waiting for it.
His hands roamed my body like he was starving for my touch and he knew my body now better than I knew it myself, after having drawn paths many times before, he followed them as though they led him home.
The lock holding my teddy together was a small sliver clip, he pinched it between his fingers and pulled, and the pieces flew down on the floor- the lace pulled to opposite sides and my chest was on full display.
I felt something sharp against my ribs, right between my breasts, and tried to look down but Darian wouldn’t let me. He fisted my hair and forced my head back, his tongue slid over my neck with each kiss and I moaned when he nibbled below my chin.
“This is going to hurt,” he said against my lips. My screams were silenced by his hand pressed over my mouth and it felt like he was cutting up my chest and pulling apart my ribcage.
My voice was muffled and my panic ensued as I trashed under him but Darian grabbed my waist and threw me further up on the bed.
He climbed up and was on top of me within seconds. My eyes were wide and round and I stared at him while frantically shaking my head and hitting at his chest, but his hand came down over my mouth again and he forced my head back into the pillow.
The pillow.
I put my hand down and slid it across the mattress as slow and gentle as possible. He was watching my chest and I felt the blood run down my front.
I could barely get a hold of the dagger with my hand shaking as much as it did, I only pushed it further up and I was terrified that he would catch me.
Was he killing me? It felt like it. My ribs were aching and I felt something was burning around the edges of my wound.

My vision got blurry from unshed tears and that pissed me off even more. Crying wasn’t getting me anywhere- I grabbed the knife and held it steady under the pillow.
Darian lifted his head and his devil dark eyes locked with mine.
“Deep breath,” he ordered.
A pain unlike any other followed when his fingers pushed into my cavity and instincts screaming for me to stay alive kicked in.
I pulled my hand out from under the pillow, Darian did a double take of my hand and his eyes glowed and his canines extended like two sharp knives.
Everything went fast and slow at the same time and all I saw was Darian’s eyes narrowed like the predator he was and he took his hand out of me to grab the knife. But this time I was faster. I pushed myself down into the mattress, my hand flew out to the side and in against his body and the knife was plunged into his waist. I pushed it in with all I had and twisted it. I heard his breath hitch and his eyes turned back to their natural color.
It meant that his wolf stepped down but that was too quick. A knife wound shouldn’t affect him like this, he was a Lycan, he should be fighting back.
“No,” he said in an exhale.
Darian averted his eyes and he looked down into his closed hand. His fingers slowly opened and I saw a dried flower, albeit a small one and it was stained with my blood.
The bed dipped under his weight when he staggered back on the mattress and the floorboards squeaked when he set his feet down.
He held the handle of the knife but he didn’t pull it out. The blood stopped oozing from the wound but he only seemed to get worse. He fell on his knees and I got off the bed and walked in front of him but far enough away so he couldn’t reach me.
Darian cast a defeated glance across my face and sighed.
“Fuck,” he whispered and hung his head.

Chapter 108
I didn’t notice it myself until Darian lifted his eyes and looked behind me but we weren’t alone in the room. I turned and saw Zade standing in the back, watching us and his face contorted into a grimace when he saw Darian on his knees.
“Nicely done, I was honestly skeptical as to whether or not you’d pull it off but look at this- King Darian kneeling in his own home,”
A sickening feeling twisted in my stomach and the slithering tone of Zade’s voice made me wary.
I furrowed my brows and cocked my head when Zade folded his sleeve and the door to the room made a horrible screeching noise.
In walked two men 1 recognized from the Ball but I didn’t know their names, only that they were part of the Council, and behind them were five men dressed in the uniform of the Dark Guard.
1 inhaled a breath and my chest rose which reminded me of the fact that I stood half naked in a room full of males.
I pulled my teddy together and backed away but everyone who entered had locked their gazes on Darian.
“The rules have changed,” one of the Councilmen explained calmly while he scanned Darian’s wounded body.
He turned his ring twice and it caused me physical pain to see how Darian’s face twisted in pain as he covered his ears and a scream from deep in his core rippled out in waves.
I stepped back until I hit something hard and when I turned around to see what it was I saw Zade looking down at me with a dark depth in a twisted glare.
