Chapter 341
Tyler remained quiet as he continued to tighten his hold around Nans aching wrist as he pulled her through the main section of the resort .
They started to pass the check in / out section when Nans senses were practically on fire , and her wolf nearly surged forward .
She had to forcefully pull her back .
Judy Montague , a voice said from the front desk .
Can you just call her , please ? As I said , sir .
If shes in the competition , she isnt here right now .
You are more than welcome to go to the arena around the corner and root for her and her team , though .
They return tonight .
But I cant give you her room information without her direct permission .
We have a policy .
Cant you just- His voice started to fade as Nan was dragged outside .
Nans brows furrowed as her wolf fought against her hold , wanting to get back to the main section of the resort , but with Tylers hold on her and his anger growing with each step they took , Nans attention was shifted .
He brought her over to a secluded section , where he finally released her wrist .
She noticed a new bright bruise on her wrist , and she rubbed the tender spot , avoiding his eyes .
Where were you this morning ? He asked without hesitation , his eyes narrowed , burning her under his scrutiny .
At the arena , she replied , glancing up at him with a frown .
You didnt call me to tell me you were going anywhere .
I came by looking for you this morning , he told her , his lips turned down in a deep frown .
I wasnt aware you were my keeper , Nan shot back boldly ; she knew she shouldnt provoke him , but she needed to cut ties with him once and for all .
Look , Tyler , I didnt sign up for this .
You were only supposed to be a fun distraction , not this controlling- ) ) Before Nan could utter a single word , she felt the sharp sting of Tylers hand across her face .
He had struck her so hard that her head whipped to the side .
She was seeing stars , and her eyes were wide in shock .
In the week she had known him , he might have been cruel to her on occasions , and he put bruises on her wrist from grabbing her , but he hadnt hit her yet .
His eyes were red with fury .
Dont you dare speak to me like that again , he said through his teeth .
You know your place .
I have chosen you … I plan to put my mark on you and claim you as mine .
You arent getting away from me , Nan .
Not now , not ever .
W ….
what ? Nan gasped , her hand touching her bruised and tender cheek , her fingers trembling .
She fought back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes .
You heard me .
The second I saw you , I knew you were mine , Nan .
I wont accept anything less .
He grabbed hold of her arm again and yanked her against him , his lips coming down onto hers in a bruising kiss that left her feeling sick in the stomach .
You have the wrong idea , she said against him , trying to get away from him .
Im not looking for a mate .
Only a distraction .
His eyes flashed dangerously , making her shudder .
She attempted to pull away from him , but his hold on her tightened , making her squirm uncomfortably .
V2 Chapter 341
You have no idea the kind of things I am capable of , he threatened .
Dont fucking test me again .
Did you really think I was going to let you go ? Nan was terrified ; she wasnt Judy , she wasnt a fighter .
She was a waitress and an aspiring chef … she wasnt someone who could stand up for herself that easily .
T … Tyler , she stammered , not sure what she wanted to say to defuse the situation .
But the dangerous look in his eyes kept her silent .
Lets go , he said through his teeth .
Where ? She asked , tripping after him as he pulled her .
Back to my place so I can properly mark you , he growled over his shoulder .
The color drained from her face , and she struggled even more against him , not wanting to leave the resort with him .
She no longer trusted him , and she thought about screaming , but there wasnt anyone around who would hear her .
Most were either doing resort activities or at the arena .
Let me go ! She demanded , swatting at his hand .
He was much faster , though , and another devastating slap landed on her cheek ; this time , she tasted blood .
From there , everything happened so fast .
Before she could fully comprehend what had happened , Tyler was forced to release her just as someone lunged straight at him .
