Free Bound (The Onyx Wolves Book 1) by Raven K. Asher Page B

wasn’t about to bend to his will or anyone’s for that matter.
    He reaches his hand out to me and I take it standing to my own two feet before I turn my back to him readying myself to run away.
    I had to at least try to get to Brock or someone else that could help me.
    London’s body moves closer to mine as he lays his chin on my shoulder. “I’m sorry I’ve been so mean to you, Darling. I should have gone about this differently but I didn’t want to lose you to someone else, especially when you didn’t even give me a chance.”
    I shiver in revulsion as his warm breath continues to fan across my cheek.
    His hands glide up my arms and my stomach threatens to spill out everything in it.
    The thought that we had even been together intimately had me nearly gagging with sickness.
    Whoever came up with the phrase ignorance is bliss was right on the money because I couldn’t have stayed by his side for another moment unless I was ignorant to it all.
    The only way he would ever keep me was to take all of my will away.
    He would have to keep controlling me, because the thought of even pretending to like him was something I just couldn’t even bring myself to do.
    I hated him.
    And if I had my way he would suffer.
    He would either suffer knowing that I would never truly be his or I would find my rightful mate and have him destroyed for what he had done.
    Taking another’s mate was considered treason, and it was against all of our laws.
    And considering Gage had all but made me his was reason enough to bring him to justice.
    Anyone with a nose could still smell Gage on me.
    I belonged to him and him alone.
    Turning towards London I smile sweetly as I place my hands on his shoulders.
    His arms wrap around my back bringing me closer.
    “I just don’t think this is going to work, London. We don’t really belong together.” I state calmly.
    His yellow eyes darken as his grip on me tightens.
    “But if you were to let me go now I wouldn’t ask for death for you.” I add.
    He growls out fiercely. “You are mine. My pack and your father witnessed it last night so there is no going back and you cannot condemn me for something that you very much enjoyed.”
    I snarl as I show him my teeth. “If I would have been in my right mind I wouldn’t have even let you get that close to me. You make me sick.”
    His grip on me tightens even more as his eyes stare deep into mine. “That’s enough. I gave you a chance.” He growls as his hand begins to move closer to my neck.
    In a flash of movement I bring my knee up directly between his legs.
    He gasps as his eyes go wide and his hands fall from me.
    I watch as he falls to his knees and then to his side as he continues to whimper in pain as he clutches himself.
    “Try to control me again, London, and I will do far worse than that.” I warn before taking off through the trees and bushes at a full run.
    Just as I’m about to reach the edge of the trees and the lawn running up to my house a heavy body slams into me with a loud cackling laugh.
    I’m rolled over onto my back and I gulp in fear as I’m forced to look up into London’s yellow angry eyes.
    “That is the last time you will ever try that, Parker.” He growls before twisting my neck violently and digging his claws deep into my skin.
    Instantly, I feel myself become delirious before a peaceful bliss takes over and I smile up at London.
    He smiles down at me as his claws retract and he moves himself over me holding his weight just off of my chest. “Feeling better now?”
    I nod and grin further. “I do, but I’d feel much better if we were in bed.”
    His lips spread into an even wider grin as he lifts us both to our feet. “I couldn’t agree more.”
    With that he lifts me up placing me over his shoulder.
    I squeal out in laughter as he slaps my bare butt before heading towards the house and into the front door.
    We are met there by Dillon as he pants out in fear. “We lost him.”
    “What do you mean you lost
