You Intoxicate me

Chapter 18

-Crimson P.O.V.-

“And that is my beta.”

I stop laughing to turn in Ambrose’s lap so I can face him. I cup his cheeks within my hands which causes him to look at him as his green eyes cause a shiver a run up my spine.

“You would worry if I kept coming up with excuses to not live with you, and then you would feel the relief, Seth just felt, when I told him that I would be fixing that issue.” I tell Ambrose softly.

“I know, my love. Thank you for keeping me grounded.” He tells me softly while closing his eyes and breathing me in. I let him, as I rested my forehead against his. I close my eyes as I slowly move my hands from his cheeks to around his neck.

We don’t speak as I feel him move his hands to my back and he pushes me more into his chest. I smile as I can feel a sense of peace wash over me along with the sparks that shoot through my body. I don’t know how long we stayed there until I felt a hand brush along my scar that is across my neck. I pull back from Ambrose’s forehead while opening my eyes to see my mate looking at it with no emotion. I could sense something going on within him, but I wanted him to tell me since it had to deal with the scar on my neck.

He soon tilted his head to where his eyes could meet mine and he smiled softly. “Let us go back to our suite.”

I nodded as I climbed off of his lap and stood beside his desk while he put everything away. Once he was done, he held out a hand for me to take to which I happily took it with a smile. I walked beside him as he led us out of his office and up to our suite. We didn’t speak as we walked off of the elevator and into the bedroom before a word was spoken between us.

“Lay down on the bed, love.” Ambrose said to me, causing me to comply. I quickly took off my shoes and climbed up into the bed, waiting for him which didn’t take long. He climbed into the bed and sat up with his back against the headboard while pulling me to straddle his lap. I let him pull me as I settled in his lap while he placed his hands on my hips. “Tell me what happened behind your scar.”

“After I tell you, I need you to change me. I want you to change me.” I tell him with nothing but seriousness in my voice.

“Okay, love.” I nod once I hear those words from Ambrose. I quickly sucked in a breath before I told my mate the true reason for my scar.

--Flashback to that day--

“Alpha, I am not sure about this.” I watch as Luke’s Beta tries to derail him from my plan. We do not have time for this as the NightWalkers are fast approaching.

“We do not have time for this.” I state causing the Beta to look at me with pure disgust. Ah, now I get it. “If you have a problem with me being here Beta then speak up. Otherwise, shut your mouth as we have a fight on our hands.”

This Beta did not like this as he rose from his seat. “Why you little bi..”

“BETA! SIT DOWN.” Luke yells as he rises from his chair with a murderous glim in his eyes.

I could feel Tom beside me wanting to say something, but I carefully placed my hand on his arm for a second before removing it. We did not need to jump into this as I could see the Beta and Alpha speaking through the pack link. I just sit there with a sigh as we do not have time for this. I was hired to come out here to help them with the NightWalkers as their pack members were slowly dying, and from what I had seen when I walked along the pack border...it was not good. The NightWalkers were going to attack again and I could feel it. I made sure to come to this meeting with potions as I had a sinking feeling that a fight was going to break out while I was here which is why I brought Tom.

“ALPHA WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!” The Delta screams as he busts through the office doors.

I do not waste another second as I jump up from my seat and run out of the door with Luke, Tom, and the Beta behind me. I rip off my coat as I am running down the stairs to reveal my swords that are hooked on my back, and my two pistols in my holsters. I grab one of my pistols from my left holster as I run out of the back door. I ran right into the battle.

I shoot at the NightWalkers that are trying to attack some of the warriors as I make my way through the battle. I know that the leader of this attack is at the end, watching as his subjects do his dirty work. One NightWalker attacks me causing me to drop my gun, so I withdraw one of my swords. I quickly cut off his head before cutting through all the others who tried to attack me. I soon feel Tom behind me in his wolf form as he bites the heads off of those who try to attack me from behind. I finally make it to the end of the battle to see that it is just another NightWalker standing there. I quickly finished him before turning around to see that the warriors had handled the rest of the attackers.

I scan the area trying to find Luke, but I cannot see him or seem to find him. F**k. I knew I had a sinking feeling about this. Tom shifts besides me causing me to look over at him as he looks at me worried. “What is going on?” He quickly asks me.

“I think they have Luke. There shouldn’t have been a regular NightWalker at the end of battle. Something is wrong with this whole picture.” I say while still looking around and I soon catch the Beta coming from the forest's edge without a single drop of blood on him. “There.” I quickly say, causing Tom to shift back into his wolf.

He lays down on the ground as I quickly climb onto his back. I cling onto his fur as he runs, full speed, to where the Beta is coming from. I withdraw my other gun with my right hand before aiming it at him. I take a deep breath before firing a bullet right at the Beta. It clips him on his right shoulder causing him to drop to the ground just in time for Tom and I to arrive. I jump off of Tom’s back as he shifts back into his human form.

I drop to my knees before the Beta. “Where is he?” I ask calmly, too calm, causing the Beta to shake with fear.

He doesn’t say anything as he just points with his non-shot arm. I punch him before rising to my feet. “Take him to the cells and then come and find me.” I don’t leave any room for argument as I run off in the direction to which the Beta pointed.

I run in full-speed until I come face to face with a horrifying scene. Luke was laying on the ground in his wolf form with a huge gash on his side as a silver knife was stabbed into one of his legs. I can see from just a glance that he was shot with wolfsbane as his wolf is not able to shift or heal himself. I run to him before someone comes up behind me. That someone holds a knife to my throat. I do not have to look to know that it is the leader of the NightWalkers.

“Ah, so this is what it takes for me to get your attention.” He whispers in my ear causing my body to fill with disgust.

“What do you want?” I simply ask as Luke does not have long before he dies, I could sense it.

“You. Let me have you and I will let you both live.”

“I would rather die.” I say before pushing my body into the knife causing it to slice into my throat.

I slightly turn before retracting my other sword from my back and stabbing the leader in the stomach. He just smirks as he steps out of the stab wound and runs off, leaving me there with my neck slashed open and Luke dying. I drop my sword before I wrap a hand around my throat as I quickly rush over to Luke. I pulled out the knife from his leg before pulling out my potions from one of my pants pockets, secretly thanking myself for wearing my cargo pants so I could pack some potions with me, and I ripped the cap off of the bottle before bringing it up to his mouth. I let go of my throat and held up his wolf head before forcing the liquid in his mouth and down his throat. I don’t think before I do the same with the other potion I have. My throat is bleeding all over myself as I help him with potions. Just as I dropped his head, I collapsed onto the forest floor while bringing a hand up to my throat. I needed to apply some pressure as I could feel that I had lost too much blood.

I shut my eyes as I am losing consciousness but I soon hear Tom’s voice. “CRIMSON….” Him screaming my name is all I hear before I pass out.

--Flashback over--

“Thankfully Tom had grabbed some potions that were in syringes after he had dropped the Beta off in the cells before making his way to find me. The potion saved me from dying but I still had to be stitched up causing a scar to form and then injected with another potion to fully heal me. I ended up staying in bed for a while as I slept through the healing process which ended up scaring my brothers as they never thought that I would end up getting better, but I did.” I trial off as I wipe away the tears that were escaping from my mates eyes. I soon cup his cheeks as I force him to look at me, I slightly smile. “I am okay now. That happened a long time ago.”

He removes my hands from his face as he places soft kisses on the top of them before moving them down as he pulls me forward. I soon feel soft kisses being placed along my scar. It brought tears to my eyes. “My family and I have never truly known what you sacrificed on the day that you saved my brothers life but f**k...I have no words.” He says as he buries his face in my neck as I remove my hands from his grasp to fist his hair.

“I never said anything because it was about saving Luke’s life and not what I had done. The only thing that needed to be known was that Luke lived.” I say as I place a soft kiss on the top of my mates head.

Ambrose soon flips us as I underneath him as he uses one of his hands to cup my cheek. “You Intoxicate me, Crimson Moon.”

My eyes went wide as my heart started to beat wildly in my chest. “You Intoxicate me, Ambrose Eclipse.”

Something about saying those words had more meaning to me rather than saying ‘I love you’ at this moment. Ambrose smiles before leaning down and placing a kiss to the side of my neck. I tilted my head to allow him more access before I felt his fangs sinking into my neck. I cried out in pain as I could feel them sink in further…
