What will he think?! - Chapter Seven

Caoimhe’s POV:

I want him, I thought to myself as I allowed the dark thought to overwhelm my small frame.

I stood there silently and watched as the woman crumbled to her feet with her once sheer top now stained red with her blood. I wanted to watch her suffer more as I knew it would not take long before she recovered from those shallow puncture marks, but I could already feel the control I had over Odin begin to shift and fade. I could not help but feel proud over the fact that I had a strong mate and yet I wanted to throw a fit over his resistance.

I want to make her suffer, I thought as a sick and sadistic smirk caressed my lips.

“Enough!” Odin shouted annoyed now as he sensed the atmosphere shift from around me.

It had grown dark and suffocating as if I were allowing death itself to hang over our heads. My attention quickly shifted from Essen to Odin as I held his gaze, his eyebrows furrowed slightly as he became lost in thought. It did not take him long before he pulled himself out and instead reached his hand out for the woman who silently sat on her knees glaring deadly daggers at me.

Essen took Odin’s outstretched hand after a moment and allowed him to help her up. She wiped off the shards of ice from her pants as she openly ignored me and turned to face Odin with angry tears welling within her eyes.

“What the hell is wrong with you?!” Essen demanded angrily as she shoved her fists into his bare chest.

I flinched and turned my head away as she used him as her punching bag as he simply stood there and took the abuse from her. Odin grew annoyed after she got a few punches in, and instead grasped her wrists within his hands and pulled her into him.

“Let me go!” Essen demanded as she fought against him.

“Calm down,” Odin said only his tone had shifted.

I noticed it as a tone that only alphas possessed.

"Release me, Odin!" Essen shouted.

I flinched and looked away briefly from the two as she struggled against his hold.

“Essen!” Odin demanded, now growing frustrated.

“If you don’t release me now then I will go to my father!” Essen shouted.

Odin took that moment to shove her away from him as if her very touch set his skin on fire, he glared down at her as his face grew red from anger.

"Do you think that I care whether or not you go crying to daddy?!” He shouted at her with venom forming within his words.

Essen stared at him in shock as he continued without allowing her a moment to respond.

“I’m sick and tired of your shit Essen! You and I both know what he is capable of if you want me dead that badly then go, run to him!” Odin shouted as he bore his canines at her.

“Just remember, if you do then you will never be Luna!” Odin sneered angrily before he turned his back to her.

Essen stood there in baffled silence as Odin approached me and gathered me within his arms.

Her eyes grew wide with anger as Odin gathered my naked form within his arms and Cradled me against his chest. I lost my breath the moment our bare skin made contact, I could sense he felt the same way as he stalled for a moment before taking a deep breath in and proceeded to talk past Essen.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on Odin’s shoulder and watched as the defeated woman rolled her shoulders back and huffed from frustration before she proceeded to follow behind us. I kept my gaze on her as she continued to shoot daggers at me.

"Why are we taking her with us anyway?" Essen demanded before she gave up staring at me and instead quickened her pace until she was now beside Odin matching his stride.

I shifted my head from his shoulder and glanced over at her while remaining silent.

“Because she was drowning, she needs our help,” Odin lied.

I quickly looked at him and examined his facial expressions.

Did he normally lie like that? I thought to myself with a slight chuckle under my breath.

Odin shot a dirty glare at me when he felt my chest quiver slightly from amusement, he could see right through me and was not pleased with my gleeful reaction.

“You expect me to believe that some random women traveled to the north, to the Dead Sea of Thallyn just to end up naked and drowning?” Essen demanded.

“Yup,” Odin said simply as he continued to walk further on.

“Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds Odin?!” Essen demanded before she turned on her heels and positioned herself so that she was now standing before us.

“Yes,” Odin said simply as he adjusted his body weight to better hold me in his arms.

“Don’t be ridiculous! What if she is a spy for Elijah!” Essen shouted angrily as she forced Odin to stop in his tracks.

“Essen,” Odin said warningly.

“No! This isn’t okay! Not after everything I have done to keep you safe and hide you!” Essen said angrily.

“Essen,” Odin said calmly as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath inward.

“What will Ure say!” Essen said with a slight smirk as if she believed she has finally won something.

“What will I say about what?” A male voiced chirped happily from behind her.

I turned to look towards the direction where the voice had come from and frowned at the presence of another male. He was similar in height and build as Odin as the werewolf genes were prevalent in both men. He smiled at the small party that stood before him and approached us as Essen finally chose that moment to remain quiet. Ure's brown eyes glimmered happily as he took in the sight of his Alpha possessing a beautiful creature within his arms.

I relaxed slightly as I realized he was not a threat to me, instead, he gave off a charming and almost intoxicating aroma that seemed to draw me in. I smiled at him for the first time, my smile bringing a hint of a blush to the man’s cheeks.

“Looks like you’ve got some explaining to do,” Ure said with a smirk.
