[Rosie's POV]
1 hour ago.
I want to be in control, I told myself...I really did and even that one eye which hasn't succumbed yet to his feelings, I melted.
While he kissed me, I was still conscious, still battling and with a conflicting fire, my claws moved to his face and I dug my fingers on his skin.
The cheek, my claws left an imprint. He whimpered and broke out of the kiss while I fell to the ground, limply shivering.
Austin steps back a bit as he uses his finger to brush the blood on his cheek.
His eyes flashed with contempt and anger as he growled at me.
All it took was a step closer again and rather than flinching, I was panting heavily and staring into his eyes with tears in mine.
"Rosie?" A voice called from behind him and he stopped almost an inch from me.
My shoulders jumped to my ears as I struggled to rise up from where I sat, scurrying out from his presence.
It's one of the concubines. I think her name is Hera. The warm one who sees everyone as friends.
