Revenge to the Alpha Mate novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Chapter 124

"It didn’t work out" I said and let out a humorless laugh "It sounds so simple, put that way. But it wasn’t like that. It happened slowly, painfully." I shuddered "At first he was great, made me fall for him because he was the only person who didn’t make me feel unimportant. And then...he changed. Or I guess he was like that all along, he started hitting me when I didn’t act like he wanted me to. And threatened me with Gabriel because he knew how influential my parents were with his."

"Nate, you don’t have to tell me this" Adrian said and from how strained his voice sounded I knew I had to say it all.

"I do have to tell you. Even Patrick doesn’t know the whole story" I looked down at the scars on my wrist. "It was when I told him I wasn’t going to use the trust fund my parents gave me. I told him I didn’t want to owe them anything and wanted to build my life my own way." I stiffened but he rubbed my back soothingly encouraging me to continue.

"He got mad" I said "He said he was going to teach me how life works. Really works. My parents were away on vacation and he locked me in the gardening shed in the back garden away from our house. It was midwinter, freezing. There were rats." I shuddered and felt Adrian’s arms tighten around me.

"I kept yelling for help but no one heard me." I shook my head "I still don’t know what happened exactly. The police said it was something about the rats and the electric wires, but there was a fire" I shivered "I remember smoke, and it was getting hard to breath and I was already so tired from the cold. I ran to the door and kept banging on it but no one would come so i climbed on one of the tables and looked out the small window. and I saw him there

He was looking at the shed in surprise and then he turned and ran. He left me. So I did the only thing I could think of. I used my hands to break the window, that’s how I got these scars" I looked up "The others were while I was crawling through, I didn’t have time to move all the glass. I got burned and I was bleeding and that’s how the police found me"

"That....bastard, I’m going to kill him" Adrian said angrily and I could see that he was barely maintaining his control

"The scars...You won’t find them attractive. I would understand if you changed your mind"

"Then you would be a fool, Nate" he said "If you think that for one moment I won’t find you beautiful"

"But you don’t know, you haven’t seen"

"Now that I can kiss you anytime I want..." he said breathing heavily "I’m never going to stop" he brabbed my chin and pulled me in for another kiss and I melted into him. Why had I been resisting him in the beginning? I really had no idea. But one thing was for sure, he was one hell of a kisser.

"Patrick will be worried" I managed to say after reluctantly pulling away "I’ve never stayed a night out without telling him"

"Screw Patrick" he said trying to pull me in for another kiss "You have to come back to work anyway just stay and we’ll have a few hours alone" he gave trying to get me into a kiss and leaned his forehead against mine "Come on don’t go and just call Patrick he’ll understand. And besides the twins have planned a long day for all of us you won’t have time to go home"

"I don’t know" I said and he kissed my nose and pecked my lips and the jaw murmuring "Say yes". I sighed as he got to my mouth again and started kissing me "Yes" I sighed into his mouth and felt him smile. I pushed him away and blinked to clear my head "Now get out so I can change" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Adrian looked reluctant but left, giving me a grin and wink on his way out. I shook my head and put my clothes on. As soon as I got out I ran to the kids room and got my phone thankful I left it there or it would have been ruined by the water. I dialed Patrick’s number and he answered on the first ring.
