Meteor Bites

She pointed a boney, well manicured finger at me and nearly howled. I’m guessing this is the girlfriend. “YOU! This is all your fault!” Before anyone could react she pulled out a gun and shot at me. What the Hell did I ever do to her? “I’m sorry about all of this but it is necessary.” I gave him the “you’ve got to be kidding me look” lifted my hand in Paige’s direction and asked “Why is this necessary? And why does she look like she wants to boil me oil?” “Didn’t you speak with Travis?” “Well, yeah but from what he told me, it’s not gonna happen.” I felt power push at my shield like it was trying to squeeze me to death. I hit my knees trying to breathe past it. Matt held me to him and said “For god’s sake drop your shield or it will crush you!” I looked up at him and dropped my shield. My breath was hard and fast, I looked into his beautiful cinnamon flecked brown eyes and wheezed “What did you do to me?” As soon as oxygen hit my brain and it started functioning again, my shields went right back up. “I didn’t want there to be any misunderstandings between us. I did what needed to be done.” I pushed away from him and stood up. My knees felt like jelly. One of the guards had taken Paige out of the room, after her stunt. I turned to Max. “Whatever he did, undo it.” “I can not.” “You said no matter how big or small Max, fix this. I can’t be his mate!” My shakes were becoming uncontrollable “Did it ever occur to you people that I might already have a mate? And what about my kids and my family? OH MY GOD! My Mom is gonna skin you alive!” I felt a panic attack coming on, bright spots of light began floating around my vision, like I’d just taken a head shot. Max looked sharply at Christian “You never told us she had a family.” Christian shrugged “You didn’t ask, doesn’t matter either way. I didn’t know. She hasn’t spoken about her personal life much in the few days I’ve known her.” My body had had enough, finding my way to Christian’s trash can, I dropped to my knees and hurled. When the dry heaves stopped, I calmly walked out and found a restroom and rinsed out my mouth. Then made my way back to Christians office. I noticed the trash can was outside the door. Max and Matt were questioning Christian about me. “If you have questions about me, then ask me! You might get an answer that way.” Matt nodded “Your right, forgive me.” He came to me and tried to hold my hand, but I stepped back shaking my head. “What did you do to me Matt?” My voice sounded small, like I just reverted back to being a five year old. “I bound us together.” “Didn’t it occur to you to ask what I thought about the whole thing?” My finger was moving back and forth between us “How are we supposed to have a relationship if one of us is trapped in it? Do you know how bad I want to beat the hell out of you right now?” “We’re bond mates, you can’t hurt me.” “HA! Wanna bet? So what? Do you expect me to pack up and just move in with you? Play house with you?” “Your choice, you can live with me, or I will move in with you.” He couldn’t possibly be serious. “You have put yourself in Danger Matt! I’m wanted by the Government, Mercenaries are trying to kill me, I’m trying to help my family and now I have to deal with you!” He splayed his hands in a pleading manor towards me. “We’ll solve this together, as a couple.” “Your nuts! Certifiably crazy! You don’t even know me!” “I have the rest of my life to get to know you. And I will.” He was starting to assert his dominance now, power was flowing over me again too, boy was he in for a surprise. Our lips were less than an inch apart when I made my stand “Don’t even think about trying to dominate me wolf, I’ll yank your beast out of your body, put a collar on your neck and name you fluffy! No one will ever dominate me!” “I am still pack Alfa, you are considered my second, my mate, but what I say is law!” He growled it at me, pushing his power all over me, trying to make me submit. So I did what any strong willed independent woman would do. “Law this!” My knee came up before he could move, and collided with his nuts.
