Sold To The Untouchable Alpha novel Chapter 61

[Ivan's POV]

I didn't wait for the carriage to come to a complete stop before I was jumping out and making my way into the building ahead. Moving as quickly as possible, I made my way to my room so that I could feed Arissa as needed.

"Hungry." She groaned over and over as I laid her on the bed and ripped off my shirt.

"Don't worry, baby, I'll feed you." I murmured, sitting on the bed and pulling her into my lap. "Eat as much as you want."

Slowly opening her mouth, Arissa did just as instructed, digging her teeth deep into my throat right at my mark spot before I could stop her.

Letting out a groan, I felt like an electric shock rolled through me, sending wave after wave of euphoria through me.

'Yes,' Bastian whimpered, coming alive due to being marked. 'Our mate has acknowledged us!'

'She hasn't.' I responded, feeling a pang of pain in my heart. 'She is delirious right now.'

Confused, Bastian focused on Arissa's aura and essence.

'What did you let happen to our mate?' He growled, turning his rage on me. 'WHY DIDN'T YOU PROTECT HER?'

I didn't have an explanation for him. I too couldn't believe I let her get in this condition.

Maybe if I hadn't played the fool and dealt with the enemy as soon as I spotted them things would be different. However, there was no going back in time. All I could do from this point on was do everything in my power to pave the road complete and total freedom for her from here on out.

'That's Better.' Bastian smirked, slinking back into the shadows.

Rolling my eyes, I turned my focus back to the situation at hand. Arissa's drinking had slowed and an odd light was beginning to emanate from her. Along with the light, was a strong aura that belonged to a wolf and not just any wolf, it belonged to an alpha. An extremely strong alpha.

[Arissa's POV]

I bit back my scream of pain as ice began to flow through my body from where I held the black vines.

Beneath them the white wolf whimpered and growled. I could see scratches forming where the thorns bit into it's skin and strengthened my hold.

"Just a bit more." I grunted, looking to my arms that were beginning to turn red and raw. "Hang in there."

Biting down on my lip to divert the pain, I let a shriek escape me as I gave one final pull, ripping the vine clean in half.

Before I could bask in my triumph, I was thrown backwards by a powerful explosion of light as the white wolf began to stand. Landing on my back, I felt all the air rush from my lungs, but quickly scrambled to get up as the creature started making it's way towards me.

"What are you doing?" I asked as it opened it's mouth and bared it's teeth. "I just helped you!"

Letting out a huff, the wolf bit down on my arm, drawing just enough blood to press against a cut on it's face.

I watched in wonder as the wolf's light began to seep into me, causing my body to glow with powerful white light.

"You're…"

I didn't have to finish my sentence. The wolf was already nodding it's head.
