Chapter 4

Two Continued...

Fallen From Grace | BOOK 1 ✔️

"...He won't change into his human form."

I open my eyes heavy with fatigue as my ears pop up. "

...There...no way to treat him...human form."

I begin to rise and soon hear chains rattling as I move. Unusual scents come into my nose making me become uneasy. All of this is unfamiliar to me. I flop to the ground as my hind leg gives. It causes a loud thud to echo throughout the cage. My body had exhausted itself, I gather.

Two people end up turning to look at me and before long I see one running up to me daring to put his fingers onto the bars. I look at him tiredly and feel a strange thump coming from my heart. His eyes are a deep hazel and light traces of amber can be found in them making them... gorgeous.

I shake my head and try to rise again. "...You shouldn't move." The chains begin to rattle even more with the extra effort I am putting into just sitting upright. " Ah, I can already tell...you are a stubborn one."

His voice hits my ears making me inwardly sigh. He wraps his hands around the bars trying to get closer to me. As I look at him again I see concern and worry heavily in his eyes. I turn my head sideways in pure confusion.

"You should change back into your human form so my doctor can treat your wounds." I let out a low growl but he doesn't even budge.

"We're not trying to hurt you, honestly."

"Cassius Your-"

"Don't call me that right now."

I look at the old man who just called him by his...name I'm guessing. He looks like he could be a pack doctor... They could have killed me when I was unconscious...they must want information and they need me alive.

He turns to look at me again and this time I notice a small bandage on his face making me inwardly wince for some unknown reason.

"...My name is Cassius... this is our doctor Addelin."

My heart begins to beat faster and faster as he speaks. My wolf loved every single syllable said from his voice. The way he would hang on the end of each word and the accent that accompanies it. What is wrong with me? . . .Did they drug me?

"You are in a cage in the medical room. . .but that is only because you won't change out of your wolf form."

...Right.

"The were that clawed you...had a special kind of metal inbewed in his nails to keep weres from healing. If you don't allow me to get that shard out you can die," Addelin says finishing off.

Then so be it. I let out a wolfy yawn as I put my head down. The lightheadedness slowly makes its way back to me. He bangs on the bars madly as all sense of worry exits out of him.

"You are going to listen to me God dammit!" His voice is full of possessiveness, insistence, and overall...concern.

I pick my head up and turn to look at him completely not expecting that. "Cassius what did we just talk about?"

"I'm the-!" He clenches his teeth and turns away from the old man.

"He has no right to de-" The old man gives him a curt look and he instantly stops. He takes a quick breath before saying, "Just let him out."

"But Your-"

"Don't call me that!"

"Ah...yes but he may try to attack you if we let him out."

"I'll be fine. Let him out." He takes a key from out of his pocket and walks towards the cage. Are they actually really going to let me out? I think incredously. I lay still in the cage as the cage door swings open.

"See. You're free. We're not holding you hostage. "

I look at him eyeing him but I can only admire his features. His auburn hair with light strands of a chesnut brown goes all the way down to his neck. Compared to me, he's smaller than me in my human form. He's maybe a couple inches shorter at most. He has a strong muscley build, but I can instantly tell those just came naturally. I blink and shake my head once more as I realize what I'm thinking about.

I make an attempt to stand which I do successfully this time around, but I end up falling as I exited the cage. Blood splatters all over the floor making the doctor instantly back away.

"Addelin, come induce him quickly!" He runs his hands across my fur sending shivers up my spine. He clears a space for Addelin by separating some of my fur on my neck. I made no effort in fighting it. I never felt so relaxed in my life as I do now.

Right now...I could die and be content with it... I feel a sharp pain as he continues to run his hands down my body comforting me beyond belief. I wanted it to continue...I thought...as I feel my eye lids growing heavier and heavier by the second.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake this time fully awake and alert of my surroundings. I blink as the blinding, bright lights shines above me making me instantly try to turn around but I stop mid-way. I notice both my hands are cuffed to a metal bedpost. I try to break free but immediately stop once I realize how futile my efforts really are.

This should have been expected.

I lean my head to the side as I look around where I'm at. I see another person cuffed to another bedpost just like me making my eyes narrow. He notices me and turns to look at me. " Eh, so you're up huh?"

Accent? ...A Northern accent. It cannot possibly be.

Hoping that he would be one of my packmates I turn my head and nod. My eyes lower once I realize I don't know him from anywhere. " Well let me tell you something. That guy has his eyes set on you. I don't know what you did to get here but make sure you get the hell out of here."

"Shut the hell up." I see Cassius come in along with the doctor making the man immediately quiet down.

The doctor comes by me and inspects my abdomen up and down. "Goddess be good, he healed quite fast." He peals a sticky bandage back causing me to wince a little. "There's not even a scar."

"So he's fine?"

"Internally yes. . .he still may be sore and aching in some parts bu-"

He pushes him out the way as he leans over me making my heart begin to beat rapidly. His eyes gaze into mine and I instantly become squimish under him. The way he is looking at me is strange...it's almost as if he wants to... I see his eyes go down my body and snap back up to meet my confused expression.

"He wants your body!" I hear the dilirous man cackle.

"Shut the hell up! Goddess...Addelin do something with Marshall will you?"

"...As you wish."

My body...? I look at the man as his bed is being wheeled away. He nods his head back and forth back and forth like a mad man.

"...Your name?"

"My name?" I scoff at this. "My name has no importance. Why would you care to know?"

"Because I'm your damn!-" He cuts himself off before he could continue his rant making me look at him more keenly. Temperamental may be an understatement for this man.

"I saved you so...I have the right to know..."

"So you took a few pieces of metal out of me... I never asked you to," I spit out tactlessly.

He growls lowly under his breathe causing me to bite down against my bottom lip to hold in an unwarranted shudder.

"Do you know the situation you're in?"

"Do you think I care?" I ask back smartly.

His hands rest subtly at my sides as he swings one of his legs over me making instantly become rigid and tense under him. My wolf is frantic, yelling things I can't quite understand. His pacing and howling is making me all the more uneasy.

I let out a light moan as I feel his hands go down my chest feeling slivers of sparks travel through my body. My eyes widen at my own reacton. Did they drug me...?

Cassius P.O.V

I look down at my mate and Goddess is he beautiful. Mine! Claim him now! My canines begin to elongate, but I press my wolf's desires back. That just won't do... He won't even tell me his name. How can I claim him when I don't know his name? That's unheard of.

I run my hands down his chest until I can make out a faint moan come from him. It causes a smirk to splay across my face. However, he is more mine than he'll ever be. He will learn to obey me.

I lean closer to him purposely rubbing my body against his. I let my breath run down his neck and his body instinctively arches against mine. I trail my tongue lightly against his skin resisting the urge to kiss it. "You will obey me," I admonish in a low whisper.

I go to look at him and my breathe nearly hitches. His eyes begin to turn into a brighter blue and something in me just...I feel myself leaning down to his face eyeing his lips until Addelin comes in and clears his throat.

"Cassius...what are you doing? Did you just want me to leave so you could have your way with him?"

My mouth drops at the question he asks me. I look him over again and a light blush begins to appear on my face. " I was not going to do anything to him! I barely even touched him!"

He looks at me and shakes his head. I forgot I had gotten on top of him and I instantly become embarrassed at my own actions.

"He's my-" I catch myself before I can utter those words. "I can do whatever I want with him anyway!" I feel him tense under me making me mentally cringe.

"I-...I didn't mean it like that," I state softly, but I know it's too late.

I'm not good with being gentle or rather nice. I'm blunt and I'm forceful. It's hard being something that you're not just to make someone else feel comfortable.

"What is this? Why am I here?"

I look at my mate and I just want to devour him. He is so fucking gorgeous. I want to lick every inch his body. I want to feel him moan in my mouth. . .God I want to do so many-

He moves his hands causing the cuffs to jingle bringing me back to reality. "So what is this? A sex house? I'm a sex toy?"

I look at him and burst into laughter. " A sex toy..." I shake my head at this. "I don't do very well with sharing." I see his eyes widen making me smirk.

"Cassius!" I sigh out madly at the way he calls my name.

"This isn't a sex house nor are you my, or anybody elses, sex toy. We moved you to a different hall in the medical ward, that's all."

"...What drugs did you give me?"

I cock my head to the side before my smirk turns into a full grin at his insinuation. "We didn't give you any drugs. What is it that brings on that question?" I ask clearly knowing the answer already.

He eyes me making it even harder for me not to touch him. My breathe becomes more and more labored at the very thought. I get from over him push my hair back and let out a shaky sigh. I've never had a problem like this before.

He must not know...

"Uncuff him."

"W-what but Your-"

"Do it. He lost a lot of blood and he isn't at his full strength. He won't do anything. "

He walks over to him and slowly begins to take off the confines that binds him to the bedpost. As soon as his hands are freed Addelin quickly rushes back to my side. Just as I thought, he does absolutely nothing but rub his wrists absently. He looks at me for a brief second and it took my entire will not to run over to him and hug the dear life out of him.

After all these years...here he is.

"My..packmates?"

My eyes fall from his as he asks me this. "Your name wolf?" I hear Addelin ask before I can respond.

"...Pierce." What a fitting name for him. "Now tell me what happen-"

"They didn't make it."

I see the flicker of hurt in his eyes making me wince. Addelin puts his arm in front of me as I make a movement to go over there.

"Now isn't the time for this Your Grace. " He says very lowly.

"Your hands. . ."

He looks so...distraught. He shouldn't be. They were almost the death of him!

He gives him his hands submissively which makes my eyes widen as I see the cuffs go around his wrists again. He rises and towers over Addelin by a good six inches.

I look behind me and see Christophe coming in along with Anastasia. "Cassius great work. Who would have thought you would be useful for anything but paperwork. " I ignore his snide comment, trying to work on my self-control.

He goes over to my mate and begins to take him out the room making my wolf instinctively furious.

I put my hands on top of his causing him to shrink back. Sparks run up and down my body in multitudes filling me with pure bliss.

"Where are you taking him? He doesn't belong in the-"

"He has taken the lives of several of our finest men. He deserves to be punished, " I hear Anastasia say making me bit down on my lip. She's right, but he's my mate! How can I express this without saying it?

"He's probably a were from the Eastern lands. You know the savages who kill for no reason. I'd think he'd fall and bleed out just like the rest of those three. Bunch of filth. No wonder he-"

In a blink of an eye, before anyone can react, I see Pierce dangling Christophe high above him while his chains on his cuffs sinks deeper and deeper into his skin.

"Don't you ever disrespect my fallen comrades like that again or I swear to you, on your own deathbed, I won't hesitate to rip that pretty little head off your damn neck!"

Anastasia tries to grab him but she got nothing more than an elbow to the face. He eventually lets him go. As soon as he fell onto the ground he begins gasping for air making everyone except me back away from him.

I look at him, but I hardly can because his glare is so intense. I can practically feel the hate, anger, and sadness leaking from him and it makes me ache to see him like this without being able to comfort him. He closes his eyes madly allowing Anastasia to tie chains around his arms before he can do anything else.

"After his punishment is served out bring him up to my quarters. I would like to have a word with him." She nods.

"Addelin check on Christophe...He talks too much," I say as indifferent as possible. I'm practically going crazy, allowing someone to disrespect my mate like that! I'd like to snap his neck right now if I could.

He upset my mate making me even more upset. Seeing him so angry and hate filled isn't sitting well with me. This a terrible first impression.

I look at him again before he leaves out the door and a wave of uneasiness hangs over me. As I open my eyes again Addelin looks at me with a questionable look.

"Your Highness...you're bleeding." I look at my hands and notice that my nails has broken my skin from squeezing them too tightly. He has yet to even acknowledge me as his mate...does he really not know...or is he choosing not to care?

I scoff at this as a small smile tugs at my lips. Either way that's fine... I'll make him realize it whether he wants to or not.
