Chapter 12 EVE . Saint just stood at the foot of the bed , arms folded , eyes locked on me with that unholy calm , like I was a puzzle he was in no rush to solve . I felt like death itself was sizing me up . Then he finally spoke again . " I told myself , if I ever saw you again ... I wouldn't say a word . " He paused and tilted his head . " ...Just let you scream while I took back everything you stole . Inch by inch . " He circled to the side of the bed , running a finger along the leather restraint like he was checking the tension on a violin string . Then his voice turned softer and even deadlier . " But look at you . Right here . In my bed . Tied like a fucking gift . " He lowered his face to mine , and I could feel his cold breath . " The Goddess made it too easy , Eve . " I tried to look away . " Look at me , " he said quietly . My head snapped toward him as if I were controlled by an unseen force . My eyes stung . He studied me with no hint of warmth or amusement . Not even rage . Just ... nothing . It was worse than hatred . I shook my head frantically , but only my sobs could be heard . Tonight felt like the night I was going to die . This monster was going to kill me . He looked like a ruthless killer . " Do you know how many women have begged to keep something of mine ? And you ? You stole it . " He leaned in again . " I should kill you . But I won't. At least , not yet . Because I want you to suffer slowly . I thrive on pain and suffering , sister . " His voice was as cold as a scalpel . I shook my head weakly , " No , please ... I didn't mean ... I swear ... let me explain . " He cut me off , crouching so that his eyes leveled mine . A smirk touched his lips , but it never reaches his eyes . O 1/3 7:23 Sun , Sep 21 Chapter 12 " You made me and Kyrie look like fools . You dragged me back into the one thing I swore never to feel ever again . And you ran . " He closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath , as if trying to calm himself down , and it terrified me . " So here's what's going to happen . " He stood up , " You want your mother to remain happy in this new marriage ? You'll play my game . " " I'll do anything you want me to do . But please , don't hurt my Mum . She ... she has been through a lot . Please ... I promise you , Alpha , I'll get back your watch . I will . " I sobbed harder . The moment I mentioned bringing back his watch , he looked ... intrigued ? Perhaps I was cracking his walls . I knew where I sold it . I'll go there and get it back . But ... wait ... I don't even have the money to retrieve it with ... Oh , God . Okay . First things first . I'll have to go and check to be sure they still have it with them . " Hm ..." He hummed , leaning on the huge table beside him , as if contemplating my words . " Yes . I swear to you , Alpha . I'll get it back for you . I promise . " " Okay , " he said way too simply that I began to question the commitment I just made , " But until then , you'll do what I say . Live where I say . Work where I say . Breathe when I say . No questions asked . You'll be mine , Eve . Because I own what steals from me . " I nodded frantically . Too terrified to even speak , " I will . I will . No questions asked . " Then he turned toward the door . Where is he going ? Did he plan on leaving me like this ? But before I'd say a word , he paused . " One more thing , " he turned off the light . " The day you admit to Kyrie that you were the whore we fucked , you're dead . " Mated to My Step - brother and His Best Friend C Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
