CHAPTER TWELVE

Ryder

LIFTING EMMA UP, I carried her into the bedroom, my body and mind in a state of riot. She felt just right nestled in my arms. My beast was clamoring, wanting her in every way, wanting to put his mark on her.

He also needed to make sure she never put herself in danger like that again. Whatever the fuck was happening between us, whether the instincts writhing inside me were accurate—that with a small push, Emma might reveal as an omega in the same way her sister had—remained to be seen. I doubted she’d considered it, stressed as she was after what had gone down with her sister.

I understood how much she cared. In everything she’d done and said, right from the very first moment we met, her sister had been at the fore. There had been no mention of parents, so they weren’t in the picture for whatever reason.

But now, I needed her complete submission, or I was never going to calm down.

As I sat on the bed, she clung to me, and that shit went straight to my weak spot. The beast in me fell hard for a needy omega, whether emotional or physical. Emma, and whether she remained the beta or revealed as an omega, had already claimed a piece of me.

It also hadn’t escaped my notice that what had triggered her sudden race to the bathroom to empty her stomach had been the thought of me with anyone else, especially an omega. She didn’t want my hands on them and definitely didn’t want me to mark them.

I had to be honest with myself as I sat there with her tiny body trembling against mine, her arms and legs wrapped around me, and her nose buried against the crook of my neck. The thought of marking another omega ever again, of even touching one, put my body into revolt.

It had been one hell of a day and night, and the crazy wasn’t done yet.

“Come on up,” I said, giving her ass a gentle tap to let her know I meant business.

Her head lifted, and she regarded me through eyes puffy from all the tears she had shed.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to spank me again?”

“No,” I said, seeing surprise flash across her face. “You need something more.”

She blinked a few times. “What do you mean, more?” Her voice was little more than a whisper.

“More means I need to make an impression.” Gathering her hair up into one hand, I slowly tightened my grip. She sucked in a sharp breath as we locked eyes with one another. “I need this. I think you need it too, but if you don’t, if you can’t give me your submission, that’s okay.”

It wasn’t fucking okay. I was lying to both of us, but she had to agree to this. She had to need it.

“I–I don’t understand.”

“I’m going to discipline you with my belt. It’s going to sting like a motherfucker.”

She swallowed. “I realize it wasn’t the greatest idea storming up to the gates like that.
