You Wouldn't Dare (Khaos Trilogy Book 1), стр. 17

Chapter 4

Violet

I awoke to a loud hammering on the bedroom door, hearing Khaos curse from the other side. I laughed as I snuggled back down into my pillows, pulling the luxurious quilt over my shoulders. Good luck getting in here, buddy!

It would have been easy to sit and feel sorry for myself, especially after the disgusting things he had said last night. And the vile way he treated me after he had got what he wanted. I could have easily allowed myself to wallow in self-pity and think about everything he had ripped away from me – my pack, my family, my relationships, even the beginnings of my self-respect. But I wouldn’t allow him to destroy me mentally.

It hadn’t taken me long to figure out that Khaos was a man of order and routine. He demanded respect, oozed confidence, and authority, and I was just enough of a brat to push him to his limits. I couldn’t wait to see his pack’s reaction to the all-powerful alpha being messed around by his cute little mate.

I felt the door handle rattle behind me, and the door shake as he punched it and I laughed once more.

I had spent a long-time last night ensuring that he wouldn’t be able to get in this room, moving the huge four-posted bed inch by agonising inch until it was pressed against the door.

“Violet,” I heard him mutter through clenched teeth, “open this door. Now!”

“I’m exhausted, Khaos. Let’s put a pin in that idea, and we’ll come back to it later. Rain check!” I shouted back pleasantly.

“Open. The. Fucking. Door!” he roared, slamming his shoulder against the wood.

“You’re going to wake people up if you can’t control that temper of yours.” I sang out, casually inspecting my nails.

“You’ll regret this when I eventually get in there.”

“You too, boo-boo. You too,”

“Is everything okay, Alpha?” I heard someone call out from down the hall, and I laughed even harder. Khaos grumbled a response, telling him to mind his own fucking business, and stomped away from my room.

Violet 1, Khaos 0.

I was feeling pleased with myself, gloating over my petty, brief victory. I was even a little proud of myself for thinking to do this, knowing there was no other way in here.

Stretching out on the bed, I gave a little chuckle and smugly gloated over my victory.

It didn’t last long.

“Oh, little one?” I heard Khaos call to me, sounding suspiciously calm and collected.

“Back so soon, Alpha? Wow, I’m flattered. You just can’t stay away from me, even when you’re not wanted!”

“Last chance. Are you going to let me in?”

I sighed loudly, “oh honey, we can’t both win. One of us will have to stop being so stubborn and accept defeat. And for the record, that someone won’t be me.”

“Have it your way.” I sat up and frowned at the door, hearing his footsteps walk away. A metre or so to my left, I heard him as he gave the wall a couple of taps and then I heard him grunt.

Out of nowhere, there was a huge crash against the wall, and I flew to the edge of the bed, scrambling out of the way of the flying debris that had come hurling off the wall.

Another loud crash had my heart pounding and I rushed off the bed, putting a safe distance between myself and the destruction Khaos was causing. I grabbed a sheet and wrapped it around my naked body and stood in the centre of the room, watching as the slight hole in the wall grew bigger and bigger with every swing of the sledgehammer.

I screamed as a huge portion of the plaster was ripped away, watching Khaos as he threw the sledgehammer to the floor and punched his way through the huge hole he had made, cursing me out the entire time.

May as well enjoy the show, I thought to myself as I moved to sit in the armchair, scooting it over to sit directly in front of the wall. He was going to get in here regardless, I figured I may as well have some fun whilst I can and watching the way his muscles were bunching was definitely a lot of fun. The effect he had on me hadn’t lessened, I still had those same delicious bolts of energy rushing through my body.

Now that the initial shock was over, I was sort of enjoying the performance, all the while knowing that once Khaos got in here, I was in deep shit.

In for a penny, in for a pound, Violet, I giggled to myself before shouting out some helpful tips, reminding Khaos to put his back into it. I laughed out loud as his trousers got caught in the jagged edges of the now ruined wall and he stumbled, spinning his body to kick the plaster repeatedly. Before I could stop her, my wolf gave a snort of derision, not at all impressed at the display of power Khaos was displaying. His head shot up and he pinned me with an expression of pure anger and hatred, kicking the wall some more in his frustration.

“Temper, temper. Are you done with your tantrum?”

He gave me an icy glare, warning me to shut up. His eyes were as dark as the night, his wolf forward and ready to burst free of the last strand of control Khaos had over him.

I clapped my hands together in mock delight, shouting out how proud I was of him and how he’d make a fine builder one day, all he had to do was apply himself.

Finally, he made his way completely through into the room and my legs shook as the nerves kicked in – I may have pushed him too far.

To say he was angry was an understatement. His eyes were blazing, his breathing fast and harsh. His hands were clenched into fists
