Bound (The Onyx Wolves Book 1) (3 page)

“
Y
our house is huge, Parker.” Harley whispers in awe as they follow me down the hall and towards the theater room.

“You’ve been holding out on us, Parker.” Ariel adds.

Dad suddenly appears from his office door.

We all stop as he holds out his hand to Harley. “It’s nice to finally meet Parker’s friends.”

Harley takes his hand in hers giving him a quick shake. “It’s nice to finally see where you lock Parker up, Sir.”

I nearly choke as my father frowns and then breaks out into laughter. “I see why my daughter likes you.”

Looking towards me he points in Harley’s direction. “Keep this one close, I like her.”

Next he moves on to Ariel who gets completely shy and begins stuttering. “Hi, Mr. Haynes, it’s nice to finally meet you.”

With a quick shake she steps behind Harley and my father moves on to Andy.

I cringe as he takes his hand giving him a strong squeeze. “And you must be the boy my daughter has been hiding behind my back.”

Andy gulps and looks to me before nodding. “Yes, Sir, I’m sorry about that it wasn’t meant out of disrespect.” He apologizes nervously.

“Oh, I know. My daughter can be quite persuasive when she wants to be.” My dad answers.

“Uh, yes Sir, I guess she can be at times.” Andy replies awkwardly.

Thankfully, the awkward moment is broken up by Rowan and Dillon as they join us in the hallway.

“You guys ready for movie night?” Rowan asks excitedly while placing his arm around my shoulder, Dillon slips in-between Ariel and Harley.

“I’m definitely ready for this tonight.” Harley answers wrapping her arm around Dillon’s waist.

His eyes go wide for a moment in shock and I laugh lightly knowing just what my friend had done to him.

She was a major flirt and not at all afraid to pinch.

I couldn’t blame her, Dillon was cute after all.

But he wasn’t my type not like Rowan, Andy, and London, were.

Blonde hair on a guy made me weak in the knees.

“Alright, kids, I guess I’ll let you get to the movie.” Dad states thankfully letting us go.

Before he leaves he points to me. “Remember what we talked about, Parker. I want it done tonight.”

With that he leaves us alone.

“That was heavy.” Rowan whispers and I nod.

“You have no idea.” I agree.

“So, what are we going to be watching?” Dillon questions thankfully changing the subject.

Harley holds up a bag. “I brought a whole bunch of movies we can pick from.”

“Great, let’s get into the theater room and pick one.” I grin and move to lead us all the rest of the way down the hall and into the large theater room.

The room was built like a mini theater, minus the uncomfortable red chairs.

Instead of the chairs there was a mixture of leather couches and soft leather chairs.

Andy lets out a low whistle as his arm takes its place around my waist.

I close my eyes knowing that I had to begin separating myself from him now rather than just break up all of the sudden.

Leading him on wasn’t going to be an option tonight.

Opening my eyes I shrug out of his embrace and walk over to where Harley was spreading out the movies that she had brought with her.

“This is the one.” Rowan picks one and without another word he heads down to the front of the room to the TV.

“I guess we’re watching that one.” Harley laughs along with Ariel.

“Which one was it?” I ask.

“I don’t even think he read the title.” Harley continues to laugh. “It’s Twilight.”

I break into laughter.

He was really going to regret his decision but I wasn’t going to be the one to tell him that now.

As the movie begins to play Gage, London, and Brock all file into the room with us.

Inwardly I groan as Brock and Gage sit on either side of me and Andy on one of the loveseats.

Gage lets out a low growl as he looks us over.

I know I wasn’t trying hard to distance myself from Andy, considering I was snuggled comfortably into his side and his hand was drawling soothing circles on my thigh, but I just found it hard to pull away from him.

Looking in his direction I place my hand on Andy’s chest flipping him off.

I didn’t need Gage judging me.

Brock on the other hand had more direct intentions.

The seat dips beside me as he sits right down on the loveseat with us.

I turn to glare at him and he smiles.

“This just looked so much more comfortable than any of the chairs.” He grins wider as I finally pull away from Andy, suddenly uncomfortable.

“Are you guys all living here with Parker now or are you guys just visiting?” Andy asks abruptly.

My eyes go wide as Gage’s voice answers him. “We are staying here for now or until Parker decides to make up her mind on what she wants with us.”

“Wait, you guys are here for her?” Andy asks quickly as his brow scrunches.

“Yes, we are. You didn’t think you were her only boyfriend, did you?” Gage smiles menacingly.

Andy’s head swings towards me in question. “Is that true?”

I open my mouth to speak but someone else beats me to it.

“No, it’s not true. Gage just likes to be a complete asshole sometimes.” London states as he takes a seat behind us.

Andy nods but doesn’t at all look convinced as he eyes me and Brock.

It doesn’t help when Brock decides to place his hand on my leg.

I growl and punch him in the side.

He huffs and throws his hands into the air as he surrenders. “Alright, jokes over, I get it.”

Thankfully, he gets up leaving Andy and me alone on the loveseat once again.

The mood between us had been successfully ruined though, as Andy and I watch the movie apart.

Halfway through the movie I get up silently before running out of the room and into the hallway.

Leaning against the wall I slide down to my butt as tears begin falling from my eyes.

God, this hurt.

It hurt more than I ever thought possible.

My heart had fallen in love with Andy in some way, I saw that now.

The door to the theater room opens and I hide my face as Gage walks out shutting the door gently behind him.

I was sure he was going to gloat, but he surprises me when peek out to see him kneeling in front of me.

“We could all hear you out here crying, Parker.” He whispers pulling my hands away from my face.

“I’m sorry. I’ll just go to my room then.” I whisper softly as I move to stand.

His hand on my arm stops me.

“Please, just let me go, Gage. I can’t take your harsh words right now, I just can’t.” I whimper as more tears flood from my eyes.

“I wasn’t going to be harsh. I only wanted to apologize, Parker. I was wrong before, you care more than you want to, don’t you?” He whispers while wiping my tears from my cheeks.

I nod at a loss for words.

He was exactly right, I cared far too much.

I felt far too much.

Moments later, Brock is the next to come out.

His face scrunched in anger as he takes in the scene between Gage and me. “You need to get back in there and end whatever is between you and that stinking human. If you don’t I swear to god I will tear him limb from limb while you watch.”

Gage stands in front of me. “You know the laws forbid that, Brock.”

“The laws also forbid our females from fornicating with human men.” Brock growls as he looks past Gage to me.

“I’m sure Parker knows the laws, Brock, and I’m sure she hasn’t been touched in that way, have you?” Gage turns to look at me for my answer.

I hide my face in shame and he curses.

Andy and I had gone a little farther than just kissing.

I just kept denying that it had ever happened, lying to myself was the only way I could justify defying my father’s rules.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Brock laughs out. “She’s not only broken our laws she’s been with the human in ways that only her own kind should be.”

Gage turns his full attention to me.

It was a frightening thing to see his anger fully displayed in his eyes.

Grabbing me by my neck he pulls me up to stand.

His eyes search mine for a moment. “How did he touch you?”

I close my eyes not wanting to answer.

He growls as his grip tightens. “How much did you allow the human to touch you?”

Loosening his grip he glances back to Brock. “Alright, if she wants to play this game then we will take things into our own hands. Brock, go get her little play thing and tell him you saw something he needs to see.”

Brock grins menacingly before rushing back into the theater room.

“What are you going to do?” I ask with fear.

The last thing I wanted them to do was hurt Andy.

“I’m going to make this easy for your boy toy. I’m going to make him hate ever feeling anything for you. He’s going to hate the very sight you.” Gage snarls.

With one swift move his free hand tears the material just at the top of my shirt, splitting it to expose the very tops of my breasts.

And just as the door opens he lifts me by my waist wrapping my legs around his waist.

His face nuzzles into my neck as his other hand grabs firmly to the back of my head, his wolf claws dig into my skin drawing blood and so he could force me to comply with whatever he wanted me to do.

My eyes travel over to the doorway where not only Andy was now standing but so were my best friends.

Harley and Ariel both look just as hurt as Andy.

“What the hell, Parker.” Harley yells.

Gage growls into my neck. “Moan for me.”

His teeth graze over my skin and I have no choice but to comply.

I moan softly as I close my eyes.

“That’s some girlfriend, huh, Andy?” Brock all but laughs out as Gage continues to make this whole encounter appear to be more than it really was.

My heart breaks as I hear Andy leave.

“God you’re sick, Parker, how could you do this to him.” Harley barks out in anger. “And you can’t even stop, you make even me sick.”

Her words slam into me like punches.

“I want one last moan for me, Parker.” Gage demands.

As the moan falls from my lips I watch my two best friends leave after Andy.

Gage pulls back with a grin as he retracts his claws from my neck. “You did very well, princess.”

Brock joins him with a bark of laughter as I slide back down the wall.

No tears come, not even a whimper as my heart breaks and my whole world falls apart.

“I hate you.” I whisper fiercely. “I hate you all.”

“Hate us all you want, Sweetheart, but at the end of this all you will have to be with one of us, and even if you don’t want to pick one of us, your father will.” Brock laughs.

With that both Gage and Brock walk away.

London and Dillon walk out from the theater room and I instantly point down the hall. “Just leave, get the hell out of here.”

Without a word both of them leave as well.

Last but not least, Rowan walks out and pauses in front of me. “I think I hate sparkly vampires as much as buff werewolves.”

I can’t help but laugh out loud as he kneels down in front of me. “I’m sorry they did that to you. You didn’t deserve their cruelty.”

Tears once again pool in my eyes as he pulls me into his arms.

Out of everyone he was the kindest.

He was the one that I wished had been born an Alpha.

I could have easily found myself choosing him as a mate instead of the others.
