Chapter 39: I Hate You

(SASHA)

"W...what? No. Hell no!" Tyler blurts out, his eyes going wide.

"What other choice do we have, Tyler?" I ask impatiently. "I can’t believe you didn’t think of that earlier. You can’t show up at the funeral without my mark. Trust me, every last one of them will be looking at you."

"No," he shakes his head. "I don’t think that’s necessary. No one will be looking that close."

"Nonsense. They will be staring. They’ll be looking for that bite mark."

Fear overwrites his features as he holds his throat looking mortified. "Your bite will ruin me for any other alpha. I don’t want it. This wasn’t part of the deal, we never agreed on it. Our marriage is temporary. I don’t want your bite."

"Tyler, I’m telling you for the umpteenth time that the situation is fluid. It’s not like we have much of a choice here now, do we? Do you think I want to give you by bite? It ruins things for me too."

He takes a step back. I notice the fear shifting through him as he moves away from me. "No. I don’t want your mark. I won’t let you."

"Tyler!" I yell. He is so infuriating that he’s making me see red. "Stop. Think."

"You’re lying. I don’t think anyone will demand to see the mark. And even if they do, I’ll be wearing a dress shirt and Tie. Those won’t reveal much. No one will see my throat."

"You have no idea what’s going on, Tyler. Angelo has spread rumours that you don’t have my mark. He’ll even take the charge in questioning. I know in my gut that he will want to see the mark."

"You’re still not convincing me."

"Tell me then, what was all this for? I growl. "Why did you come all this way to throw it all away just because of a lousy mark?"

"A lousy mark?" You’re unbelievable, Sasha. You know as well as I do that your mark will be the end for me. I won’t ever find another alpha who’ll want me. What happens when this contract is over? This isn’t fair, Sasha. I can’t give you what you want."

My hands ball into fists. Anger courses through me and I purse. "I didn’t come all this way for you to fuck it up on the most important day."

He shudders but I still see a tinge of stubbornness in his face. "No. That’s too much. You’re asking for too much and I won’t give it to you."

"Fine, Tyler. That’s how you want it to be? Ok. You won’t have the abortion then. I won’t allow you."

His skin flushes and his eyes go wide in shock. "What?" he whispers

"Yes. I mean it. If you won’t give me what I want I’m going to force you to have that child. Talk of ruining your chances for other alphas." I grin wickedly. "We both know how many quality alphas out there are willing to take on an omega with another alpha’s child."

"You’re an asshole, Sasha."

"Thanks." I smile. "Did I ever say otherwise?"

He looks at me as though he wants to kill me. He is so enraged that if a snap of his fingers could kill me, I’d be dead already. Tears are brimming in his eyes, on the verge of falling. "I can’t have this baby, Sasha." He says in an unusually quiet tone.

"You have a choice." I shrug.

He moves closer to me and begins to throw weak punches to my chest. I don’t react immediately, because part of me breaks for him, but if the end justifies the means, I have to do what’s right for me and my family. "I hate you, Sasha. I fucking hate you." His voice wobbles. "You’re the worst thing that’s ever happened to me."

"Bullshit." I hold his arms together. "I’m the best thing that’s ever happened to you. I removed you from that dump where you’d have probably starved to death. I gave you clothes and put a roof over your head. You’re damn lucky you met me. And if you dare leave now, you know the rules."

"So, you’ll kill me because I don’t want your bite on my neck?"

I regard him for a few seconds contemplating my decisions. He’s making things so hard and complicated and is leaving me with just unfriendly options. I’ll force him if I have to. "I’ve worked too hard for this and you’re about to blow it up in my face why? Because of a mark? If you dare screw this up for me, I’ll happily kill you myself."

"Then so be it, Sasha. I’m tired of always doing things for you. I have feelings too. Kill me if you want. I’d rather die than spend one more minute with you."

"As you wish, Tyler." I point to the door. I say the words but deep inside I know I don’t mean them. I wouldn’t bring myself to kill Tyler. I wouldn’t kill him even if I wanted to. I’ve never quite felt like this for any omega. My own threats sicken me to my core and I don’t like that I’m doing this to him. "There’s your way out. I wave my hand towards it. "If you prefer death to giving me what I want then knock yourself out."

He turns to leave and takes a few steps then stops. His breathing is sharp and raggedy and streaks of tears already line his cheeks. He looks so done and defeated. It makes sense because all he’s ever known is a hard life. It would be unfair for me to give him a glimpse into a better one and begin to threaten him again. I’m making him really, really desperate. But that’s just the situation I am in as well. "I really, really hate you, Sasha." He whispers. I notice how his body trembles when he speaks.

I’m weary watching him. Have I pushed him too far? I don’t want him to walk because if he does, I’m royally fucked. It pains me to do this to him, but one way or the other I have to get him to comply. I have no choice because I know I have to get him to comply. I know for a fact that Angelo is looking for the tiniest loopholes to bring me down, and I am sure he will at some point in the day want to check Tyler’s neck. Several credible sources informed me of his plans to humiliate me in front of other syndicates. He doesn’t believe Tyler has my bite.

Tyler turns back and faces me. "This isn’t fair. Please, Sasha, don’t do this to me. It can’t be undone."

The sight of his tear-streaked face makes guilt nudge at me. Our eyes meet, and I feel sick to my stomach. It baffles me that I don’t relish his pain. In fact, I hate every second of it. It pains me too. I don’t understand why his anguish gets to me; I just know it does. God knows I’ve done worse things and crushed many men, and didn’t lose a wink of sleep over it. Why does seeing Tyler in this state make my heart ache?
