Blood Legacy Chapter 19: 19. Nathan Satan

His wolf restlessly paced within like a caged beast as he watched the two stand so close, threatening to get out everytime his beta touched her or made her look at him the way she did just now.

*Fucking traitor.*

He growled under his breath and took another sip from his flask, his gums and nailbeds starting to hurt as he forced himself to remain composed and keep his wolf at bay. He really didn't need to make another scene and attract even more negative attention towards him.

Once was more than enough, and she was already calling him a monster as it was.

He needed to do something. He needed to distract himself somehow and he needed to do it sooner rather than later.

His gaze casually fell on the little sister just as he'd finished that thought, watching her sitting in a corner all by herself, her gaze a little droopy and her movements kinda slow and dragged as she entertained herself with a bowl of carved fruits by taking tiny pieces of fruit and eating them.

He didn't waste another moment and made his way straight towards her, expressing a charming smirk as he extended his open palm,

"Wanna dance?"

Her droopy gaze rose to meet his, returning his smile and with a small shrug she placed her hand in his, allowing him to help her stand and guide her closer to the area where other people were dancing.

Careful not to let her trip and fall as she was already swaying a little bit he wrapped one arm around her, effortlessly guiding her moves as they started to dance.

However, it still turned out useless as before he could even try to stop himself his gaze trailed right back to the happy couple, his insides churning as he watched his soulmate smile at his beta and blush like a virgin bride.

He had to admit though that that specific outfit she had chosen for tonight was actually making him feel certain ways.

It was driving him crazy, to be more specific.

The way it exposed her slender neck and shoulders, leaving that sweet spot bare and ready for claiming...And that shorter front part of her dress that exposed her beautiful legs...

It was as if she was dressed especially for the mating ceremony.

She was meant to be his bride, not his beta's. She was supposed to be in his arms tonight, smiling at him instead as they danced the night away.

*She'd never smiled at me like that,* he thought with bitterness, reminiscing the sound of her rapidly beating heart and that frightened look in her eyes during their last few encounters.

It bothered him so much that she was afraid of him now.

"Wow, you need to make up your mind, dude,"

His brows furrowed, curiously lowering his gaze to peer down at the tipsy female in between his arms.

"You really need to decide if you wanna tap that ass or not," She added with a raised brow, making him chuckle with amusement at the realization that she'd just called him out whilst her slightly unfocused gaze turned to peer at her older sister dancing away with David.

"She needs to pop that cherry already. She's the last of us anyway, since she keeps chickening out..." She let out a stifled laugh, starting to emit chicken-like sounds as she moved her elbows up and down a few times, that particular tiny bit of information however bringing a satisfied smirk on Nathan's lips.

*Good to know.*

"I think I'm starting to like you better," He admitted with a grin, earning himself one in return.

"Great. Wanna fuck?"

"No, but thank you for the generous offer," He politely declined, albeit a little taken by surprise by her bluntness.

*Wow. This one does not like wasting time.*

"I'm drunk man, I wanna fuck I need to find somebody," She whined with dejection as she grabbed fistfuls of his black shirt, leaning her forehead against the middle of his chest.

*My goddess, she is so out of it.* He thought as he peered down at her, the sound of her words though making him come up with the most genius plan.

"Hey, will you do me a favour?" He gently tapped her shoulder, making her tilt her head back to look up at him.

"Sure,"

"After your sister gets here, please go and talk to Estefany," He nicely asked with a smile, earning himself a curious look in return.

"Why?"

"She's just kinda lonely tonight," He nonchalantly answered with a shrug, watching her nod as he could already feel his soulmate's eyes on them.

"Okay,"

He could hear the sound of her boots hitting the floor as she approached with determination, noticing that small hint of unsteadiness in her gait as soon as he turned his head to look in her direction, making him realize that the alcohol she'd previously ingested from her human friend was already starting to take effect into her system.

Their eyes met, his sensitive hearing not missing that skip in her heartbeat as he looked at her, watching her forcing herself to continue walking until she'd finally reached them, purposely ignoring him as she gazed at her baby sister.

"Right...I'm gonna go now," Andrea said before his soulmate could even open her pretty little mouth and say anything, making her curiously stare at her.

"Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get some. Little ladybug needs to get some, man. I shaved, dude! I shaved!" The drunk little sister told him with a giggle and a pat over his chest before leaving, making her big sister's eyes go wide with embarrassment.

"Dre!!"

*So innocent...* He internally sighed, liking the way her cheeks bloomed with that rosy colour as she avoided his gaze, making him feel that instinctive need to gain her attention.

So he wrapped one arm around her slim waist and pulled her closer, earning himself the tiniest yelp before her gaze finally rose to look up at him.

"Wow... You didn't really need to dress up though, you know? You already have your horrifying personality working that out for you," She snarkily commented as she took a moment to examine his skeleton-painted face, making him feel the small sting of her unconscious rejection.

"Ouch. Touché," He replied with a small chuckle as they started pretending to dance, trying his best to appear unaffected.

"What do you want, Satan?" She impatiently asked with a hint of venom and annoyance laced in her tone as she gazed up at him with what could only be described as disgust and hatred, making him finally lose his patience and temper and react.

*Wait. Did she just call me Satan?*

"What I want? I'll tell you what I want," He grunted with aggravation, his grip on her slender body tightening as he stopped pretending to dance and looked into her large blue eyes, not failing to also notice that increase in her heartbeat.

"You. I want you," He finally admitted out loud.

"I want to sink my teeth right here, in your neck again and taste your blood as you ride my dick like the good little girl you are," He lightly tapped his index finger against his concealed mark as he spoke, hearing her gasp.

"I want to fuck you so hard and fast as you cum and scream my name, over and over again until you finally get into that pretty little head of yours that you're mine, Carina. Only mine," He lowly growled into her ear as he tightly held her against him, hearing the sound of her tiny whimper before the sweetest smell suddenly hit him full-force, making him realize that she was actually aroused.

His nostrils flared, his beast trying to fight him again for control as he felt that mix of lust and fear coming from her through their bond, making him feel so angry and yet so desperate at the same time as he wanted nothing more than to make her realize that she had nothing to fear. He could never hurt her, especially now that he knew that she was his. His true soulmate. His other half. The one that he was supposed to spend a lifetime with.

He looked into her wide and glassy eyes, intending to caress her cheek when she suddenly pushed him away with all her might, angrily spewing at him,

"That's what you want from me? You want to have me? You want to make me your little toy?"

*What?*

He blinked once with utter shock, about to try and disaffirm her claimings when her gaze abruptly shifted somewhere past him, making him turn to look in that direction too, only to notice the little sister now dancing with Estefany as they talked and smiled at each other.

He quickly turned back around, noticing that clear intent in his soulmate's anxious gaze and before she could even take a single step he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight against him, making her squirm and try to escape.

"No! Dre!"

"Let me go!"

"Please! Let me go!" She uselessly fought against him, even trying to hit him a few times in her attempt to break free from his iron grip.

"Carina, I need you to calm down," He peered into her desperate eyes, watching them fill with unshed tears as she looked up at him, feeling her fear seep through the bond.

"No! She will-"

"She will not hurt her," He rushed to assure her with a calm tone, her voice trembling as she immediately replied,

"How do you know?"

"Because I know how she feels," He lastly admitted with dejection, watching those small tears trail down her cheeks as she still tried to break free, quietly whispering in her ear,

"I know what it feels like,"

He did know what it felt like. After weeks of trying to deny it, he did finally realize how he felt.

He wanted her, regardless of the fact that she was raised as a human. He didn't care anymore whether she was weak or not. She was his, his one true soulmate.

The bond was just too strong for him to try and deny it any longer.
