His Lost Lycan Luna (Jessica Hall)
Chapter 68

Read His Lost Lycan Luna by Jessica Hall Chapter 68 — My claw marks on his face healed, but theydid leave faint scarring, which on him only added more character and did nothing to deter from hisg*d-like good looks.

“All you had to do was submit, but since you didn't, I can’t guarantee you won't try to run again,” hesaid while his thumb brushed over my lips; I jerked my head away, and he sighed.

“You will learn one way or another, Ivy. There is no escaping the bond and won't escape me again,”he said before walking away and back to his whiskey.

For most of the day, he sat around reading while I stared at the closet door, trying to stop thememories from the orphanage, memories of being tied up with my hands behind my back and tiedto my feet. Yet one thing with silence was your mind; your mind takes you to places you wished youcould forget, convincing you that you were still stuck there. Only now, I didn’t have Abbiewhispering beside me to keep me sane. No, now I only had the King’s silence, and it was deafeningMy muscles ached from not walking, and I needed to pee. No sooner than I thought he was besideme undoing the handcuffs. “Go, he said, nodding toward the bathroom.

“You forget I can feel you, Ivy, now hurry up,”

“Then, if that were true, you wouldn't have me handcuffed to the d**n bed.” he seemed perplexed,and I stumbled over my own feet as I climbed off the bed before rushing to the bathroom.

When I came out, my eyes instantly went to the handcuffs in his hand as he stood waiting by thedoor. My heart rate picked up, and he tilted his head to the side while he observed me.

"I thought you were scared of me,” he says, holding the handcuffs up, and my heart lurched in mychest, pumping frantically. He watched me for a second before looking at the handcuffs.

“But these scare you?” he said before scrubbing a hand down his face. He sighed and bit his lip ashe thought for a second. I stood on the spot, shifting my weight from one foot to the other, waitingfor him to force the cuffs back on me.

“You run from me. I will lock you in the cells under the castle, or I put you back in these, he warns,and I nod my head. He curses under his breath, shaking his head before tossing the handcuffs onthe bed.

"One chance, Ivy. So don't ruin it. I don't enjoy punishing you,” he said before sitting on the edge ofthe bed. For someone who doesn't like punishing me, he seemed to do it an awful lot lately.

“Then don’t give me a reason to” I tell him, and he looks over at me. A growl escaped him before hereached forward, his long fingers wrapped around my wrist before I was yanked forward againsthim. The King moved so quickly I didn’t even have a chance to catch my breath before I foundmyself back on the bed with him pressed on top of me.

“You can be a stubborn little thing,” he growled before I felt the calling seize me in its grip. Hishands locked around my wrists before he tugged them above my head and held them in one of his,pinning me beneath him. His chest vibrated against mine. Drawing out a side of me, I was beginningto hate.

The King ran his nose across my cheek, inhaling my scent before stopping at my ear. “You can fightme all you want, Ivy, but I can use one thing you can't, or do you need a reminder?” he purredbefore running his tongue across the seam of my lips. The moan that left me angered me as mybody relaxed beneath him, giving in to his demands; as he received the reaction he wanted out ofme, tears pricked and burned the back of my eyes.

“I don't want to force you; I have told you this, so please don't make me. I dont want to be that sortof monster,” he whispered against my lips before nipping at them. The King thrust his hips againstmy barely clothed body. The feel of him, his hardened length pressing between my thighs, made memoan but also whimper, knowing if he wanted, he could use the calling to make me submit to him,make me give myself to him.

"See, Ivy. I have control, don't make me abuse it. I don't want that, and I know you don't,” hegrowled before dropping it, the overwhelming feeling suddenly extinguished. He hovered above mefor a few seconds, and his eyes flickered, his body trembling like he was fighting a war withinhimself while I battled my own.

“Tread carefully, Ivy. You don’t want me to snap,” he growled before rolling off me. The moment hedid, my entire body shuddered like it was going through withdrawals. It took everything in me notto throw myself at him and rub myself on him, needing his skin, wanting to bite him. He smirkedbefore his face fell when I didn't give in to the urges, my anger at him overshadowing them, and Igritted my teeth

“You're fighting it,” he snarled.

“You would rather be in pain?” he asked.

“I used to love it when you did that. Now you just made me hate it because you took my choice. Youpromised I would have a choice,” I tell him. He looked away from me, and I saw him s*****w.

“Then don’t make me take them. Stop fighting the bond and don’t run from me again.”

“You're a hypocrite. You say don't fight it or deny the bond, but you broke mine, you broke me. Iwon't allow you to do it a second time,” I screamed at him so angrily I felt breathless. He seemedstartled by my outburst before getting up and storming toward the door.

"You try to leave this room before I say you will replace yourself in the cells,” he snapped. The King thenwalked out and slammed the door behind him. I jumped at the bang, the bond flaring to life,making me want to chase after him and beg for his forgiveness. It took me days to have the bondease and let me breathe again, and it took him only seconds to force it back. One bite and he wasdestroying me all over again.

Only now do I recognize the signs and the influence he had over me. The twisted way the bondworks against me. It wasn't fair, and with Abbie gone, I don't think I could suffer the push and pullfrom the bond, suffer through losing it again if he so chooses. Yet I was determined to try becauseone thing became startling obvious: he was fighting the bond just as much as I now was. He had thecalling, but I wasn't entirely powerless. I had the bond on my side and if he wants to break me, Iwould make sure he broke too.
