Just clarifying something... Payne got aroused because he and Alexis ended up in a hug like position while they both were naked and in Alexis' defence she's an innocent and feeling something like that from her mate would obviously have her going all wild. In Payne's defence ... actually you know what? Lets let Payne explain for himself what just happened.

Payne

"Get down! get down! get down!" The deceitful piece of shit just wouldn't. Not even when I hit it.
Just rose right back up. Standing at full attention.

Other than waking up to the fucker it never got like this. I really didn't know what to do. I couldn't go back to the castle with this. It'll be a big lump in my slacks.

"Fuck!" I yelled into the forest.

This is all her fault. Everything is her fault!

First she just gets into my head and messes me the fuck up and now thanks to that... embrace... should I call it? My d¡ck wouldn't go down.

She was so soft. Small and soft. Perfectly proportioned body and even though I tried not to make my eyes linger too long I couldn't miss those br3asts of hers. They were average size, with the cutest pink-

It twitched in agreement.

"Fuck." I crouched to the ground. Atleast I was far enough from her. Her scent was dizzying and now, in my state staying a good distance from her was probably the best thing for us both.

The sun had gone down now. The darkness swallowing the entire forest. It was only a matter of time till it was in complete darkness.

Clothes.

I needed my clothes.

They were back at the lake though.

Fuck. That. Shit.

Mind linking with one of the servants from inside the castle I ordered a suit of clothes.

This was going to be awkward. I hope they would send a male to drop them off. A female servant would tend to grow very uncomfortable in a situation like this.

Again. All Alexis' fault.

Not a few minutes later I could sence a presence a few feet away from me and thankfully whoever brought the clothes dropped them behind a tree and quickly scurried off.

How nice of them. Fear was absolutely adorable.

Getting to my feet and walking over to the pile I made quick work of the fabric on my body.

When fully dressed in black and a pair of combat boots I was proud to say the erection I was sporting was sort of behaving. It wasn't noticeable though.

At least I think.

Alexis. How did we even end up in that situation with our bodies so close?

Scars.

Her scars. We were arguing about them and she tried to run off.

God the marks.

They were deep. Three long marks going horizontally from the start of her shoulder to her waist. They seemed to not be from a silver whip however. They'd be red and bloodied still if that was the case. Hers was slowly healing as if she'd been beaten in that exact spot over and over again so the skin wouldn't heal. That was torture, I knew it.

My vision went red with rage. That sick fuck had touched and ruined her skin!
He beat an innocent girl. FOR FUCKING NOTHING! TORTURED HER?

My chest rose and fell violently fast and my heart beated in time. My mate side was taking over any merciful thoughts and honestly a part of me wanted to kill them. Wanted to know that the hands attached to my body were the ones that killed the person that hurt her.

An evil grin spread across my face and it was made from hell itself.

Before I could even process the action I was gone in a blur.

Heading to her old pack. To brutally murder her alpha.

Good thing was, my boner was completely gone.

**************
Alexis

Its night time. After nine to be exact. He hadn't returned back to the castle after what happened in the woods with us and I had a bad feeling that he wasn't going to.

He felt it. He felt the heated connection between us and he wanted me just as badly as I wanted him in that moment.

O god, what am I even thinking?

This is Payne Vincent I'm talking about. Not freaking Romeo.

He won't do something so intimate with me even if his own life depended on it. It was all a mate reaction. He truly didn't feel anything and to back up this point was the fact that he hadn't returned.

This was probably it. I finally pushed his buttons here and this was exactly what he was talking to me about. I was doing something to him. I was finally breaking through his thick, metal walls. Good for me but bad for him. Once he notices he's becoming vulnerable he'll get rid of me. Men like Payne didn't do romance, love and vulnerability. He liked being the strong, cold monster he was. He doesn't want to change. I knew that much.

Changing into a pair of slacks and brushing my hair through then putting it into a braid I left my room and made my way down to the kitchen.

My stomach was practically calling out to the food it was missing.

Opening the door and entering the bright, beaitiful room that the kitchen was, I was shocked to find Payge sitting at the dining table.

Alone.

Staring at her hands and a look of deep focus and terror on her face, she looked nothing like her usual self.

She was even dressed differently. Instead of tight sexy clothing she was in a pair of slacks similar to mine and a thin strap vest. Her face was a mess.

Her body slouched and she looked like the tiniest sound would set her off and she'd just scream.

A lump formed in my throat as I began to slowly approach her. This was a woman that could kill me very easily. I had to proceed with caution.

"Payge?" At the sound of her name her brows shot up a little. Her eyes still focussed on her fingers. She didn't look up. Her eyes were red as if she'd been crying.

"Are you okay? Is something wrong?" I couldn't help the panic that began to overcome me. "Where's Payne? O god! Did something happen to him?" Tears began to cloud my vision.
Heart hammering in my chest.

Something's wrong.

Something is definitely wrong.

Thats why Payge is like this.

Something happened to Payne.

Payne...

I almost dropped to the floor but didn't as sobs began to rock my body.

"No no no no no no No!! This can't be happening. Tell me he's okay please! " I cried once again feeling like my entire life was over. My heart was probably literally tearing into two.

My body felt weak and I knew even if I tried I couldn't move. Frozen in fear and sorrow.

I cried for a while until I realized she was silent. She had averted her eyes from her hands and she stared at me in the most peculiar way.

I held back my sobs and tried to suck in the tears.

"What?" My voice broke on the word. My throat sore and felt like sand paper.

I felt like dying.

Payne can't be dead.

He's probably terribly injured but there is no where in hell he's dead

Never. Payne Vincent is a fighter and nothing could kill him. Unless he willingly let himself be killed.

What if I pushed him to doing this? What if he couldn't handle the emotion?

A loud thud sounded bringing me out of my depressing thoughts and then I heard as if my bedroom door had been opened.

My heart must have paused because at that monent everything in my entire body went still. Maybe the world had stopped too.

A few seconds later the door to my room closed and then footsteps were heard coming our way. The steps weren't rushed however. They were calm and well timed as if going in time with a tune.

Thats when I heard the whistling.

Closer and closer to the kitchen door and with every passing second the suspense grew.

My face had turned to the door on its own accord while I hadn't even remembered looking away from Payge.

The door swung open.

I let out the breath I was holding.
My heart throbbed back to normal in my chest and I felt tears of joy fill in my eyes.

Payne walked through the kitchen doors.

A black bag in one hand and his silver eyes seemed to be glowing with energy.

He's fine.

Alive.

I almost leaped at him but I still couldn't find the strenght in my limbs to move. Something was still wrong.

Something was in that bag.

Payne smiled then it instantly fell as he took in the scene before him. "What the hell happened in here?" He demanded but my eyes were glued to the bag in his hands.

"Whats in that?" I demanded ignoring how broken my voice sounded.

"Payne, you've got a good one here-" Payge suddenly spoke bring both our attention to her. "-for a minute there she thought you were dead. Do you see how distressed and broken she looks? That was her reaction even though I hadn't clarified or even commented on that." She continued. Payne glared at her for a bit.

They were finally talking. It was supposed to be a joyous moment but as the twins both glared at each other I was suddenly thinking this wasn't a good idea.

Too absorbed in figuring out if the two were going to fight I completely forgot to feel embarassed at what Payge was telling him.

"Look at her!" Payge suddenly screamed. I jumped at the tone but Payne as usual was unbothered. "Look at how much she cares for you! She was crying and almost bawling her lungs out before you came in here." Payge got up fron her seat and with incredible speed was across the distance and right infront of Payne.

She forced him to look at me with her strong hands wrapped around his head.

I expected him to snap.

He didn't.

His eyes met mine and I felt completely and fully naked once more infront of him only this time not literally.

He didn't fight against his sister's hold. He did what she demanded and he looked at me. Long and hard.

"You see how swollen her eyes are and pink? Thats what emotions looks like. Thats what caring about someone looks like." A silence stretched at that point and the only thing I could hear was my heart beating in my ears.

It was as if those silver eyes of his were open to me for the first time. A few strands of his black hair falling into his face.

"This is what love looks like. This girl here is in love with you and whether you realize it or even notice it, you feel something for her and fuck you for being such an asshole to her. Look at her !!"

After a while Payge let go of Payne's head. He didn't look away and the blank expression across his face gave nothing away. I couldn't read his emotions if he had anything going on and I certainly couldn't read his expression. There was none.

As the silence stretched longer between us I only noticed Payge had taken back her seat at the table once more when she cracked her knuckles and sighed. "Will one of you please say something?" She said in a soft, calmer tone than before.

Payne didn't even miss a blink as he kept on watching me.

He wasn't going to say anything. My eyes drifted down toward the bag still in his hand.

"Whats in there?" I asked softly and finally, he somehow escaped whatever trance he was in.

"You're Alpha's head." He stated calmly and softly almost identical to his sister's.

Speaking of sister, "Nice. That's great. We should all celebrate !!"Payge said with a suddenly cheerful tone and she even clapped her hands together. "But, I've got one problem." She held up one finger.

"No alcohol for me. Apparently I'm pregnant." She laughed a bit at that.
