The Alpha's Rejected Silent Mate

Chapter 66

I felt the sharp prick of Kai’s canines piercing into my skin, before excrutiating pain ripped through my entire body. I’ve never heard of such a thing happening before, whenever I’d heard of someone being marked by their mate, it had always sounded pleasureable and painless. Why did it hurt so bad? The pain is so bad, that I feel my body beginning to stiffen and before I know it. I’m collapsing towards the ground and then there’s only darkness surrounding me. What the hell has he done to me?

I don’t know where I am, only that I feel like I’m wrapped in a cocoon as time slowly passes by, like I’m awake but asleep at the same time and its surreal, like an out of body experience. It gives me time to think. I don’t know how to feel about the marking. It came out of nowhere. I hadn’t been expecting it at all and I don’t know what suddenly possessed Kai to do it all of a sudden. It made me angry but confused at the same time. Isn’t this what I wanted? To be fully claimed by my mate and marked?

A small voice in my head pipes up. You wanted it to be special, didn’t you Winter? Yes I did and he’d taken that from me.

You wanted to do it back to him at the same time, mark each other when you were more in tune to each other’s needs and wants.

That was true. But was there any sense in staying angry about it? It couldn’t make Kai take it back could it? My throat feels like it’s on fire, heat spreading all around it, as I lay wherever I am, my hands gripping my throat in a futile attempt at getting whatever is happening to stop. Instead it gets worse.

Then just as quickly it’s gone and I hear voices above my head. “Is she going to be alright?” That was Kai’s voice.

“She should be. It’s a miracle what’s going on right now. I can only speculate as to why, but it appears that the mixture of your Alpha blood and her blood has caused this sudden reaction.”

Caused what? I wonder rather stupidly. What reaction? Damnit, tell me!

“She’s going to be so surprised” Kai’s voice again, this time with a tinge of excitement. How dare he sound so damn nonchalant after what he did to me! Bastard!
