~Alina~

I was left in the room all bored for pretty much the whole day. Danny came by during lunch to drop off some food and water for me. Other than that he gave me a few glares before leaving.

I honestly didn't care if he was pissed off. He could go jump off a cliff for all I care. My family is a billion times more important than him, who is a werewolf, the very thing that killed my family. The very thing that has killed so many other people before.

I know he was my mate. But the word mate had no significant meaning to me. Mates were a werewolf thing. Humans had girlfriends and boyfriends. Not mates.

The idea of a mate was stupid. Like two people meet for the first time ever and they're all over each other. Like please. I prefer love that is unexpected. Not the mate kind of unexpected, where your walking down the street and BAM! You suddenly and unexpectedly meet the 'love of your life'. But the kind of unexpected where you just don't expect to fall for a person.

I prefer love to be slow burning and passionate. Love that's born truly from the heart. Love that's suspenseful. Where you don't know what will happen next. Love that is almost a little scary and nerve wracking.

Because with mates, you pretty much know you're meant for each other. But with human love, it's all a surprise. Yes it lead to more heartbreak, but that's the whole package. It's part of the experience.

But either way, I wasn't looking for love. That's the last thing I wanted. I just want justice for my family. And Danny should just stop. It wasn't going to work between us ever.

A couple more hours had gone by in which I had took a nap. I was so bored, I had nothing to do. I was now awake and laying in bed, noticing something smelled really good. I turned my gaze to the right, following the scent and let out a small gasp in surprise.

There was a huge bouquet of red roses on the night stand beside me. And they were absolutely beautiful. I picked the roses up and inhaled their wonderful sweet scent, sighing contentedly. I loved the smell of them.

I noticed a card attached to the stem of the roses with a ribbon. I undid the ribbon and took the card. I opened the card and found a note inside in black ink.

To my beautiful Princess,
I hope you enjoy these roses I got for you. Aren't they simply beautiful? Although I gotta say, nothing can ever compare to your beauty, Babygirl. You are simply stunning. I'd really like to take you out sometime, if you'd let me. And I know you don't want us to be together and you want me to let you go. But I can't do that, Jelly Bean. I can't. But don't worry Alina. I'll show you just how much you mean to me. And you will eventually learn to love me.
Love,
Your beloved Idiot # 1

I honestly couldn't believe him. He wasn't going to give up. Which was so bad because I don't want him to get hurt. But hurting him will be the only choice if he doesn't listen to me.

Just as I set the card down with the roses, the door opened and Danny entered. He walked up to me with a blank expression on his face before grabbing my hands, pulling me up flat against him.

Before I could say anything, he had me pressed up against the wall. "What are you doing?" I asked, surprisingly breathless. He was having an effect on me that I didn't like.

Then he started leaning in closer which caused me to realize that he was going to kiss me. "No Danny stop!" I said as I tried pushing him away. It didn't work but he did stop leaning in towards me.

"Alina. Stop fighting this. I know you want this too." He said as he leaned in and pressed his nose into the nape of my neck.

"No! I don't want any of this! Why don't you understand? We'll never be together." I exclaimed as I tried pushing him away again, but he wouldn't budge.

"We will be together. We will Alina. I will do everything I can to win your heart. And believe me, you'll be falling harder than you've ever fallen before." He growled out as he grabbed my chin, pulling my face to look up at him. He pressed his thumb against my bottom lip, softly caressing it.

I couldn't help but shiver at the feel of him pressed completely against me. I hated how attracted I was to him. I felt his other arm slide down my body and rest at my waist. I shivered once again causing a small smirk to cross Danny's face. "Don't fight this." He whispered as he leant down again. I lifted my head up, wanting his lips to touch mine more than ever. But then I remembered what I was doing was wrong. And so I moved my face, just as our lips were about to touch.

He lips landed on my cheek. But that didn't stop him. He simply placed small kisses down my jaw towards my neck. I held in a moan as he sucked all the way down my neck to the base. I wanted to push him away but what he was doing to me felt so good. I had never been kissed or touched by anyone before. So these sensations were all new and exciting to me.

I brought my hands up his hard muscular chest and wrapped my arms around his neck. I tilted my head allowing him more easy access as I tangled my fingers into his hair. "Good girl." Danny growled against my neck, the vibrations from his voice causing me to moan out loud. I felt embarrassed and shy at my moan. I had never done anything intimate like this with the male species before so everything was so new to me.

I felt his hands slide down my body feeling me, before they creeped underneath the shirt that was wearing and rested on my scantily clad ass. All I was wearing was a lacy pair of underwear underneath there. He was touching my ass which was only covered with a flimsy piece of underwear. He suddenly gave it a hard squeeze causing me to squeal and gasp. He chuckled against my neck causing me to let out another moan. It was so annoying how hard it was to hold back my moans.

And that was when it hit me. What I was letting him do to me. I felt so ashamed of myself. I tried pushing him and he stopped his assault on my neck. "What's wrong?" He asked looking down at me in concern.

What was wrong was how much of a slut I felt like. I felt so guilty and ashamed of myself. How could I let him touch me? How could I let a werewolf touch me like that? How could I, after what happened to my family? I felt so slutty.

"Everything!" I exclaimed. "I shouldn't have let you do that to me. I shouldn't have enjoyed it! Why did I enjoy it??" I was freaking out now.

"Alina, baby, calm down." He said in a soft soothing voice as he smoothed my hair down. "You enjoyed it because you were supposed to. I'm your mate. Anything I do to you, you should enjoy. It's normal."

"No, no, no! I shouldn't." And before I could continue saying anything else, I felt Danny kissing my neck again. And all of a sudden I felt his canines come out. They were sharp and grazed against the flesh of my neck in a very sensual way. And now I was worried.

"Danny please don't mark me! Please!" I begged him, not knowing what to do.

"Why shouldn't I? You're mine and I want everyone to know it." He growled in his deep, husky voice. "And I know you want me to."

He was right. The thought of him sinking his canines deep into my neck sounded really good. Scary but good.

"Danny listen to me. I can't think straight right now. So please stop!" I exclaimed pulling his head away from my neck. I brought his head up to look at me and I noticed his eyes were pitch black in lust. He looked so hot, I couldn't handle it.

"Fuck! I can smell your arousal!" He growled so loudly, I couldn't help but flinch. I didn't like this at all. I could feel how wet I was. I never knew I could become this wet for anyone. "Sorry Babygirl but you can't escape me now."

He grabbed me by the waist and threw me down onto his bed. He then immediately jumped on top of the bed, pulling me to him. He grabbed my legs and spread them wide apart. I tried to get away from him but it was impossible. Especially since there was a part of me that wanted him to never stop.

"Holy fuck, you're completely soaked." He growled, his eyes trained down between my legs. I felt so embarrassed and shy and nervous all at the same time. I needed to get Danny to stop right now.

"Danny, please." I said as I got up into a seating position. "I'm not ready for any of this." I said grabbing his face in my hands. I knew he was completely out of it and I needed to bring him back.

"You're fucking dripping wet! I think you're more than ready." He growled out as he grabbed the back of my neck. He was about to crash his lips down hard on mine when I moved again.

"Danny please! I'm scared!" I exclaimed and I was scared. This Danny seemed out of control and I was scared nothing I could do would get him to stop.

"It's okay Sweet Pea. I promise I'll take good care of you. You don't have anything to be scared of." He said as his grip on me tightened significantly.

"No Danny! I don't want to do this! Please stop Danny please! I'm really scared." I exclaimed as I pushed him away and scrambled off the bed.

"I said you have nothing to be afraid of!" He growled out angrily now. "What's scaring you so damn much?"

"You are! You're scaring me!" I exclaimed and that's when he snapped out of it. I noticed his eyes go back to their original color. He looked guilty and regretful all of a sudden.

"Alina, listen to me Babygirl." He started to say softly.

"No I don't want to listen to you!" I snapped. "You wouldn't stop when I was telling you to!"

"Alina, listen. I just lost control for a few minutes there. I would never have actually done anything you didn't want me to." He said as he got up and walked towards me with an apologetic look on his face.

This was exactly why werewolves weren't to be trusted. They lost control all the time. They killed people. They were merciless. They didn't care what they did, as long as they got what they wanted.

"Stay the hell away from me! I don't trust you!" I yelled at him as I took steps away from him.

"Alina baby, listen. I don't know what happened to me. I've never lost control like that before. Please don't be mad at me. I'm sorry for that. It's just you're so irresistible. I couldn't resist you. But I promise you, Alina, I would never have done anything. I would never have continued on further without your consent." He tried to explain to me but I wasn't willing to listen.

I just needed to get away from him and this whole palace full of werewolves. Because I knew if I stayed here any longer, I'd fall prey to Danny.
