BEAST

CHAPTER 4

A guttural growl from the doorway behind me caused a shiver down my spine. Kristian froze then quickly released me removing his hands and raising them defensively.

"Brother! I fed her already. She is all yours..." He looked between me and Nick before he brushed past Nick disappearing from sight.

He watched Kristian as he left then slowly turned his gaze to me. The sight made my heart beat faster in my chest. I rubbed my hands together nervously. It was embarrassing the way I felt towards him. I couldn't help but feel like I needed him...Was I so attracted to him and so sex deprived that I was willing to forget he was with another girl just hours ago? "Thank you for helping me last night."

He smirked then trudged toward me. "It was either leave you to possibly kill everyone or take you home."

He leaned against the island next to me. He was so close. I looked into his eyes and my heart fluttered. "What now?"

He hummed with a teasing smile while thinking of an answer. I focused on his lips as he did as if entranced. They looked so smooth...

"You can stay...if you want." His offer sounded more like a demand than a request. Pulling my eyes away, I stared into his intense blue eyes. He smirked and I realized he caught me ogling him. I looked down at my food trying to play it off like nothing happened.

"Are you a werewolf?" I asked. I was somewhat terrified if he was like Mila.

He gazed at me for a minute before answering. "I am. So is Emily...and Samuel."

"Emily is?" She never told me! She knew what had attacked me! Did she know that it was Mila?

"We do not know who attacked you but they will be punished for there mistake." He did not break his gaze. He was studying my reaction.

"Mistake?" I hissed. She could have killed me!

"That was not a mistake! She shook me like a rag doll!" I felt my jaw achingly tighten and my head began to throb. I placed my hands to my face trying to dull the ache.

He stepped. Feeling defensive, I stepped back and growled. I just growled!

"Als...you need to let me...help you." He moved toward me again with his arms out ready to catch me if I fled.

I was becoming a werewolf...I was scared and angry. She did this to me! Kill her! No! What was that? A dark voice in the back of mind howled. I sensed another in the room with us. When my eyes searched the room, they landed on her.

"Mila!" Nick growled.

"Get out of here!" His eyes never leaving me. I snarled at him for protecting her.

Mila stood in shock. Was she shocked to see what she had done to me. Kill. I growled and leapt toward her. I'm going to rip her to pieces!

Nick's arms wrapped around my waist as he slammed my body against the tile floor. I clawed at his shoulders trying to get to her.

Mila growled. Her eyes dilated as if preparing to fight if need be.

"Mila. Leave! Now!" Nick ordered. She grudgingly made her way to the front door as if it was against her will.

"No!" I cried. I wanted blood... "Come back here you fucking cunt!" Strangely she returned again as if under some kind of spell. She looked as equally confused as I was.

Nick turned his head to Mila then back to me before chuckling. "Of course..." his words were cryptic. Before I could try to decipher his words...He leaned into me pressing his muscular body tightly against mine and my whole body tingled with pleasure. I felt my anger subsiding. I laid my head back against the tile floor and sighed relaxing into his hold. He dipped his head into the crook of my neck and nuzzled my skin gently causing me to shiver. I forgot Mila was even there as I enjoyed his attention.

"Klaus..." Mila growled with jealousy.

I couldn't control the growl escaping my lips. I couldn't stand some other girl saying his name. Mine. No. He is not mine.

"Go Mila." He ordered again. This time, Mila left in a hurry.

I wanted to hunt her down but my attempt was futile once his teeth bit my neck. He did not pierce my skin but the feeling none the less was pleasurably crippling. I felt like I could cum if he just did it one more time...When he leaned away, I moaned in displeasure. I unknowingly tugged at his shirt and he chuckled.

I looked up and froze. His eyes were completely black. I oddly was not afraid but aroused. This must be his wolf.

"I can't fuck you yet my love. That would be unfair to you while you are under the control of your beast." He stepped away from me. The more distance he gained, the more his eyes slowly changed back to blue. He slumped against the wall as he watched me.

I blushed. Embarrassed that I had offered myself so easily. I quickly sat up but winced when I accidentally bit my lip. I touched my lip then looked at the small drop of blood on my fingertips.

"It's just your fangs love. They will go away once you fully relax." He coaxed from where he stood.

I wanted to forget about almost asking to have sex on the floor. I groan. "I'm turning into a werewolf."

"We call our kind lycans but yes. You are. But don't worry. I will take care of you." Though he stood in a relaxed stance, he looked anything but relaxed. Every muscle in his body was tense.

"Why?" Mate. Was he? What does that mean? I asked the dark voice inside me.

His eyes began to darken as his beast tried to take over. "Because you are mine."
