After being punched by Erin because he had to be childish the alpha had taken us to one of the underground "safe rooms" and closed us inside. With the words

"You two are not coming out until you behave and act like a couple." He closed the door. That was fifteen minutes ago.

"This is your fault you spoiled prick."

Turning around I looked at him completely stunned. What the shit man!

"How the hell is this my fault, from day mother fucking one I was trying with you. I gave up my life with my father to run away with you! I went through intense training to be better for you. So again how the fuck is this my fault you fuck."

"Noone said to give up your life with your father it even to follow me! I was fine without you."

"Oh yeah, I've noticed how fine you were without me."

We continued to scream until we didn't want to speak anymore because it hurt so bad. After watching Erin slam the door a bunch of time I realised something.

He was used to having his own way and being his own boss.

"You know I'm not trying to turn you into a housewife. I'm trying to build an empire with you, not a slave camp."

"Oh shut up. I'm not interested."

He went on slamming against the door until he ran out of energy.

"You could help you know" he sneered.

"I am."

"Oh yes because talking is going to get us the fuck out of here."

"If you would have listened to the alpha you would know he said he would let us out when we learned to behave."

"Whatever."

Taking a deep breath. I said the unspeakable words.

"I'm sorry."

His head whipped around and he looked at me.

"Erin I'm sorry that I'm not perfect and I can't just leave you alone. But I'm also not sorry that this thing we have, this bond, is making us need each other."

He turned away and glared at the door.

"I don't care what way you try to butter me up. Not falling for your shit."

"If this is because I didn't defend you then I'm sorry. You are an adult and I don't need to fight your battle for you. You want to make him pay then by all means when you get out of here just feed it to him. But for fuck sakes don't make that shit my fault. I'm trying to make this fucking work."

Erin sat on the floor across from me and closed his eyes breathing deeply.

"You didn't let me defend myself. You took me away before I had that chance. I'm a warrior. Not some weak bottom bitch. You have no idea how angry I was and still am. Then you leave and go drink with him like he didn't call me what he did. "

Scooting closer to Erin I pushed him against the wall and trapped him against me.

"When we get out of here ill stand guard well you give him what he deserves."
