Chapter Twelve

~ Beast ~

Belle spoon-fed me the pudding quietly; her thoughts were clearly elsewhere again today, which pissed me off. I was paying for her time and her attention, so I expected her goddamn time and attention to be on me 100% while she was here. She’d been exactly the same this morning, but I was about done with it now. It was the end of another long and boring day, I was aching, my skin itched, and I really needed out of this room.

She scooped some more pudding onto the spoon and directed it toward my mouth like I was a fucking child. Which, normally, I didn’t really care. If anything, it was nice how attentive she was. She knew I could feed myself but that it hurt to move my arms too much, so did it for me and she seemed to enjoy making me feel better, so it was a win-win. But not today. Today her forehead was creased, her eyebrows pulled down like she was working on a fucking math problem or some shit. And she hadn’t even mentioned the broken window.

When she almost missed my mouth for the second time, I snatched the spoon from her hand, making her startle and me hiss in pain.

“All right, get the fuck out of here, Belle,” I growled, ignoring the pain in my shoulders from moving too fast and the sting across my knuckles from my skin stretching as I curled my hand around the spoon handle. Everything was healing—my body putting itself back together piece by piece. Skin healing, bruises fading, muscles building. I’d never be the same again, of course—not even close. Beneath the bandage wrapped around my head I only had one damn eye, and my skin was permanently scarred from the fire that had melted it, but I’d come to terms with that—mostly, at least. Women would never look at me the same; I wasn’t the big alpha sex god anymore; I was literally beast by name and by looks now. But again, I’d come to terms with that. Mostly I was getting irritable as all hell because it was happening way too slowly.

I wanted out of this place.

I wanted back on my bike.

I wanted a woman in my bed and a body at the end of my knife being made to pay for this shit. For me, for Echo, and for anything else I decided they needed paying for.

But I couldn’t see any of that happening anytime soon.

Belle reached for the spoon, ignoring my comment. It was like she was in a daze or something, her thoughts elsewhere instead of where they should have been: here, on me!

“Goddamn it, get out!” I yelled.

Her wide eyes finally focused on me and her little rosebud mouth opened in shock. “I’m sorry, Beast. Please, let me keep going.”

“No, fuck off, now.” I spooned the pudding from the cup and aimed it for my mouth, but she reached out and tried to snatch the spoon from my hand.
