Chapter Seventeen

     I stood there for a moment unable to control the tears that ran down my face. I could feel the eyes of everyone in the room, watching and judging me. I could hear their whispers and something inside me just snapped. My wolf was going mental; I had never felt such anger and rage within myself. My wolf was stronger than ever before. My tears dried up as my body began to tremble, my eyes scanned the room as I growled loudly.

"What the hell are you looking at?" I growled out, my voice dripping with power.

I couldn't help but feel surprised as everyone bowed down their heads, in a sign of respect and submission. My wolf howled in satisfaction. With this new found power I stalked out of the gym, knowing exactly where I needed to go. Picking up the scent, I quickly followed it to a surprisingly empty kitchen and there, by the open fridge, stood the person I was looking for. My emotions were out of my control as I walked up to him with purpose. I grabbed a handful of his shirt I yanked him back. Slamming him into the counter and pressing his face hard into the surface, earning myself a fierce growl.

"How could you do that to me, haven't you done enough!" I shouted, my eyes brimming with tears.

Using all the strength he had, Jai pushed himself off of the counter, sending me flying in the process.

"Don't you think he had a right to know you were mine, that I have a claim on you!" he growled out, his wolf fighting for control.

"You never had a claim on me; I was never yours. I was always supposed to be Cole's." I growled back as he leapt at me and pinned me down to the floor.

I shuddered as his body made contact with mine, making me feel sick to my stomach. I hated that once I had dreamt of having him close to me but never like this. I wanted to cry but I couldn't afford to show him any sign of weakness, he'd see it as an opening. He'd see it as me submitting.

"And do you think he'll want you when he knows how easily you spread your pretty little legs for me." he said with his lips against my ear and his hand sliding up my thigh.

"Jai get your hands off me, please don't touch me. I was in heat for god sake Jai. It had been drilled into my head that I was yours but I'm not. Not now, not ever. So get your hands off me Jai!" I cried hoping that someone, anyone, would hear me.

I longed to hear footsteps on the floor racing to my rescue but they never came. I closed my eyes and tried to hold back the tears.

"You'll be going back into heat soon Ray and we'll see who you really want." He said huskily as he slid his hand onto my stomach. "Wasn't our child proof enough that we are meant to be together." He continued, a tear running down his cheek.

"Jai our child was all the proof that we weren't meant to be." I whispered, losing my battle against my tears.

He pulled up my top, exposing my tummy to him. As Jai's hands lingered on my stomach they caused a longing within me that made my heart ache. Though it wasn't a longing for Jai but our child. Thinking about our loss made me sob harder. Jai's hands stilled on me as my cries made my body shake. As I laid there crying I felt Jai's lips press onto my abdomen, I knew I should have been fighting him off but I just couldn't. He laid his head onto my middle and held me tight to him, as I felt wetness pooling on my skin. I felt his body shake too as he, like me, mourned our loss.

"I'm so sorry baby, I'm so sorry." He sobbed as his grip on me grew even tighter. "I never meant to hurt you, if I only knew."

My body grew limp knowing that his words weren't directed at me but our child. I now truly knew how much he was hurting, that I wasn't the only one affected by our loss. It gave me a certain sense of peace, he had freed me and I could now move on. Judging by his elongated nails, which were digging into my sides, Jai had over ideas. He began to kiss my skin passionately, trailing his tongue up towards my breast. I tried to push him off but he was just too strong for me. Within seconds he had ripped my top off of me and he littered my skin with fevered kisses, making me cringe with every kiss.
