Unexpected Turn of Events Ch. 09

Cullen turned to Brom. "I will first take Angel up to her bedroom, and also show her where her solar would be." Without waiting for a response, Cullen started to direct Angel toward the staircase. Down the hall, and to the right, they entered a room that seemed to be bigger then her original home. Angel first noticed a huge stone fireplace took up one entire wall, flanked by benches topped with cushions. "This is the solar, that was at one time used by the lady of the castle," Cullen smiled. "You may furbish it however you see fit. And if you would follow me," Cullen continued, "I will show you to your room."

As he led her up another flight of winding stairway. On the third floor, he opened the door to a large room consisting of an inner room and small outer room overlooking beautiful mountains and lochs. A stone hearth in the sleeping room spread warmth to both rooms. Several woven rugs were scattered about the sleeping chamber and the windows were covered with heavy tapestries to protect against the cold. The bed was enclosed in hangings rich in color and design.

"It's beautiful Cullen," said Angel and she turned in a small circle looking around the room. It is as if she stepped back to the past, to medieval times, where everything was all so enchanting.

"While taking into consideration of how old this place is, it does have electricity and running water. There is heating, but because of these stone walls, you wouldn't really feel it. That is why we still light the fireplaces every single night to keep the rooms warm." Cullen loved to look of rapture on Angel's face, if he could only freeze the moment. He was beyond glad that she likes his home so far—he didn't know it before, but her acceptance meant a lot to him.

"So this is my room, really?" Angel still couldn't believe that she was here.

Smiling, he walked over to her. Grabbing her gently by the waist as he said, "Yes sweetie, this room is yours."

"And," Angel hesitated for a moment but continued, "where are your rooms?"

Cullen was shocked that Angel asked him such a question. Then he couldn't help but begin to feel himself harden at the thought of her in his bedroom, laying splayed open, waiting to taste every single inch of her body. Cullen cleared his throat, "It's actually down the hallway Angel, the only ones that have double doors."

Angel nodded. Being so close to him, with his hands on her hips like that, she couldn't help but feel the heat coming from his body. She remembered the kisses, and wanted to feel his lips right now. Without thought, Angel leaned forward, pressing her lips to his.

Immediately, Cullen took control of the moment. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, pulling her even more to him. Once again, he kissed her slowly, taking his time, letting her feel the endless need he had. When he heard Angel moan, Cullen was suddenly swamped with desire. He closed in for a deeper kiss, silently urging her to comply.

Angel couldn't prevent her hands from roaming his body, pulling his shirt free of his belt so that she could feel the skin underneath. She loved the feel of him. He was driving her wild. Some deep craving inside her was growing, and she didn't know how to fulfill it. She felt the tug grow even stronger. She needed Cullen right this very moment.

Cullen began to remove the offending material keeping him from touching her body. He was growing even more inpatient with them, and was about to rip them off of her, when all the sudden there was a knocking on the door. Cullen began to growl right away, warning who ever was behind that door.

Angel began to pull back, feeling Cullen tighten his grip on her. "Please Cullen," Angel tried to reason. She just remembered now how they were still supposed to meet with everyone else.

Brom walked in all the sudden when he didn't hear anything. And the next thing both Angel and Brom knew was that Angel was pushed away, while Brom went flying in the air. Cullen began to growl menacingly at Brom. His wolf was too close to the surface when he was kissing Angel, and now another male entered her room...his wolf completely took over.

Angel saw everything happen, as if it were in slow motion. As soon as Brom landed hard to the ground, Cullen was beginning to tighten his grip around his throat, growling even more, with his teeth bared. She reacted without thinking. She ran to Cullen, placing her hand on his arm. "Cullen, please let him go."

"My Lady, don't, Cullen's wolf is too close, he may snap at yo..." but was caught off with Cullen tightening even more.

Angel reached up, and took Cullen's face in her hands, making him look at her.

Cullen growled deeply at first, but as soon as his wolf noticed it was his mate, he backed down and dropped Brom right away. Without taking his eyes off of Angel, he told Brom to get the hell out. When he knew they were alone, Cullen grabbed onto Angel tightly, and pulled her close, sniffing her to make sure she was alright.

"Cullen, please, I am alright. Really I am," Angel tried to reassure him.

After Cullen had his wolf in check, Cullen began to feel a fury beyond comprehension. "Have you gone damn mad? Since when do you interfere when my wolf is close to the surface?!" Cullen shouted loudly.

"But Cullen, you were going to hurt Brom, for just entering my room after he knocked," Angel tried to reason.

"Exactly Angel! He shouldn't have come into my mate's room," Cullen shouted.

"This is my room, isn't it Cullen?" asked Angel sweetly.

"Yes, of course it is your room. I told you that not too long ago," Cullen said still agitated. What has that got to do with someone entering her room?

That sweetness melted right away from Angel. "Then it is my damn choice of who the hell I allow in this room or not. If I chose to let Brom in, and any other males, than it is my choice, not yours!" Angel hissed out. As soon as she said those words, she regretted it right away. She normally wouldn't ever cower, but the rage emanating from Cullen made her take a couple steps back.

Without thinking, Cullen walked to Angel, grabbing her by the back of her neck, he pulled her near him. "Heed me well Angel. I will kill any man who dares to touch you. You are mine, and mine alone. When you finally realize it, your life will be better." He released her right away and stormed out of the room.

Angel stood there, shaken to the bone. She knew she shouldn't have said that, but that gave him no right to speak to her like that. She sat on the bed, not knowing what to do. She decided that she wouldn't hide; she would just confront the problem.

"So the bitch arrived in Scotland. It seems the accident wasn't enough to warn her to leave the pack alone."

Sitting back on the couch, sipping the drink from the glass, thinking of the next plan.

Grinning evilly, "It seems like I will have to take this personally. No more being nice anymore. I will get rid of Angel once and for all, but this time—unlike the accident—there will be no escape from this.

Authors Note: So did you honestly think everything was going to be sugary and sweet between them? They both are too hot-headed, and will not be aware of the danger that lurks around the corner. So who is behind this?

Sorry there hasn't been a sex scene, but don't worry. It will happen very soon, I promise. Perhaps even in the next chapter—ha ha ha.  Yes, that is a 'hint hint'.
