Chapitre 6: THE GUILTY FEELING
"Look," Lucien said sternly. He looked at Hope right in the eyes and delivered his words as a warning. "I will not tolerate another man to touch you. I will cut their fingers or any part of their body that touch you. You are mine now, remember that."
Hope could feel shiver down her spine, from fear and also from pleasure, somehow, the way he said it made her stomach churned and her breathing ragged.
"Next time, there will be no mercy for anyone who is dare enough to touch you." Lucien leaned over and kissed her swollen lips, as if to seal the warning. He licked on her lips and held the back of her head, taking away her breath.
But, when Hope thought the kiss would last forever, the sensation disappeared, along with him.
The moment Hope opened her eyes again, he had long gone, as if he had never been there in the first place.
'Where is he?'
=====================
Thankfully, Lucien didn't shred her dress into pieces and she still could wear it and the first thing that she could think was to go to a pharmacy.
'I need to buy contraceptive pill… but, this is too embarrassing… what should I say?'
As a virgin, she was not accustomed to this kind of thing and was clueless what she was looking for, even though she was standing inside the pharmacy right now.
"May I help you, young miss?" a middle age woman greeted her politely, because Hope looked like she was at lost.
"Hm…" Hope muttered noncommittally, unable to say what she needed.
"Do you need something?" The woman was so patient with her, as she waited and moreover, there was no other customer, except her, at this early morning.
Hope fiddled with her fingers, as she stared at her shoes. "Hm… I need a contraceptive pill," she said in timid voice.
The woman raised her brows, but she didn't judge her, she simply asked. "Do you have any prescription with you?" There were a lot of contraceptive pills and first of all, this young lady needed to find what suit her best.
"I… don't have it." Hope was embarrassed, there was tinge of red on her cheeks. "You can give me anything, I need it now." Even herself could hear how desperate her voice was.
The old woman tilted her head and nodded. "For a moment." Fortunately for Hope, this was not the first time she encountered this kind of situation, thus she knew what she needed to do with this helpless teenager.
Hope let out a sigh of relief. She was still twiddling with her fingers, as she waited for the woman to return with the pill that she needed.
However, before she could get her hand on it, someone yanked her arm and turned her body around, as a dangerous, deep growl echoed inside the pharmacy.
"I paid no mind in my warning, didn't you?"
It was Lucien.
And when the middle age woman returned with the pill, she didn't see anyone there. "Where is she?" She frowned.
=======================
Hope felt her heart stopped beating when Lucien drove the car like a mad man. It didn't even register to her that he knew where she had gone to. He only stopped once they arrived at her home.
The knuckled that gripped the steer wheel had turned white, as the man tried to suppress his anger, while the young girl next to him fretted.
"How dare you to try to get rid of my baby!" Lucien hit the steering wheel and glared ferociously at Hope, who was curling her body in fear. She was crying again, though she didn't make any sound this time.
'Am I going to die? Will he hit me?' Hope glanced at the steering wheel that he hit, which left a dent there. 'I will die if he hit me…'
Alpha Lucien, shrouding with anger, he extended his hand and gripped on her chin, so he could stare into her eyes.
"This baby is important for me. More important than you. Don't you dare to do that again. Any attempt from you to get rid of the baby, you will pay it dearly. Understood?"
###
Hope cried when she entered the house. She was afraid and angry at the same time. She remembered what Lucien had said that the baby was important for him.
'If the baby is really important for him, why don't he find another women instead, who is willing to give birth to his child?'
Hope buried her face in the pillow inside her room.
'I need to talk to grandfather. I don't want this arrange married. He is so terrifying. I can't even think of him as my husband. I can't even stand a sight of him.'
Only when Hope felt slightly better, she stood up and was about to find her grandfather when she walked passed a body length mirror.
"What is this?!" Hope shrieked when she watched her reflection on the mirror. Her eyes widened in horror. "Yuck!"
Red marks littered around her neck and chest, as she recalled how unbridled Lucien was when he took her. He was so cruel, there was no slightest gentleness in him.
Tears started to fall on her cheeks again.
Taking a shawl to cover her neck, Hope walked out of her bedroom to find her grandfather, but to her surprise he was not at home, thus she decided to take a bath and rub her skin clean, to get rid any remaining of Lucien on her, but his presence still lingered, as she had his mark, meaning she was already claimed by him.
She was his.
In the end, Hope fell asleep once she had put clean clothes and woke up the next morning.
"Where is grandfather?" Hope asked when she trudged toward the dining table and found Daniel drinking his morning coffee.
"He went somewhere, he will be back later," Daniel replied, but his eyes studied Hope's expression. "What happened with you?" he wanted to tease her, but swallowed the words because he could feel this was more than just a bad mood in the morning.
