Tempted By You by Radiant Light (bookreader TXT) 📖

real shame in what kind of parents I had. They didn't even try to protect me. I could tell Skye was still looking at me waiting for me to answer, "I don't think it's something I should tell you." I finally said and started down the hall towards the room I had shared with Liam.

He stared at me as I walked in and closed the door, "So...that question Skye asked you." He started making me stare at him.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "You were listening?"

Liam shrugged, "It happens. Anyways will you tell me?" He asked as he stood from the bed and walked over to me.

I looked away, nervous. I was my packs dirty secret. Would Liam see me any differently if I told him the truth? I looked up into his eyes before saying, "When I was twelve my parents brought me to our Alphas tent and left me there. It was only later that I learned that he had chosen me out of every girl in the pack to be his...his 'companion'. I wasn't allowed to leave his tent for any reason." I whispered and closed my eyes not wanting to see the disgust on his face as I told him the rest, "He raped me. Almost every day for eight years. He took everything I wanted to give to my mate."

"That's why you ran." Liam said as he cupped my chin in his hand and lifted my face to his. When he saw that my eyes were closed his grip tightened a bit, "Open your eyes." He growled and when they fluttered open he closed the distance between us and kissed me.

I pulled back as tears gathered in my eyes, "He even stole my first kiss from me." I whispered as a tear ran down my cheek as he pulled me into his arms and hugged me close I began to sob against his chest. Tears ran down my face and onto his chest before he pulled me up into his arms and cradled me close. I wrapped my arms around his neck and sobbed into his shoulder. One of his arms was under my knees and the other wrapped my around my shoulders as he turned his face into my hair and sighed softly.

He pulled back, my feet slid to the floor as he cupped my cheek in his hand and looked down at me, "You're never going back there." He whispered softly as he slid his right hand into my hair and softly wiped my tears with the thumb of his left hand.

"You're not disgusted by me?" I asked him softly and watched as his eyes lit up with anger.

"Never." He growled and pulled me close again just as someone knocked on the door.

"Hey Megara you said you were hungry, we have breakfast ready." Skye said through the closed door before I heard him walk away.

Liam smiled down at me before letting me go and putting some clothes on. He walked into the closet and came back with jeans, a turquoise v-neck and underwear, "Here get dressed." He said and waited until I was dressed before leading me out of the room, down the hall and into the large kitchen.

Skye and Gabriel smiled over at me from where they sat at the kitchen table. Grant was at the stove making something to eat, "Did she tell you?" Skye asked Liam as he sat down and pulled me into his lap. I blushed and looked away from them. I stared out the window watching the crowds of people.

Liam nodded, "Yeah. We'll leave for the temple after we finish eating." He said as he stroked my hair out of my face and pushed a plate full of food towards me.

I smiled at him and began to eat my food with my fingers, Skye smiled and pushed a silver thing towards me, I ignored it as I listened to them talk to each other about complete nonsense. When I finished I pushed the plate away and went to stand only to have Liam wrap an arm around me. I looked over at him and he was smiling over at me, "What?" I whispered as he leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine.

Liam pulled back and shook his head before he nuzzled my neck, "You guys go pack up." He said to Grant, Skye and Gabriel.

"Everything's already in the car." Grant said and laughed when Liam jerked away.

"I guess we should get going." He said and waited until I stood before he grabbed my hand and led us through the apartment and out into a spacious hallway towards a bank of elevators. Liam hit the down button. While we waited Skye and Gabriel started a bit of a shoving match. Liam just shook his head and held me close to his side.

I sighed softly as the elevator doors opened. We stepped in and Grant pressed the parking level button. We rode down in silence. When the doors opened it showed the garage. We stepped off and Liam grabbed hold of my hand and led me towards a car. He opened the passenger door and helped me in. I sat down in the most comfiest seats in the world. Grant, Skye and Gabriel got in while Liam sat in the drivers seat and smiled over at me, "What kind of car is this?" I asked him as slid a fingertip across the soft red leather of the seat.

"Its a BMW X5." Liam said as he started the car and pulled out of the parking spot and heading out onto the street.

"Is that a good thing?" I asked and frowned when Grant and Skye laughed, "I'll take that for a yes." I said as I looked out the window at all the people in amazement. So many people and Liam had still managed to find me, "How long were you guys following me?"

"Not long, about a day or so." Grant said as he settled back in his seat.

I continued looking out the window as my eyes widened. They'd begun following me the moment I had stepped foot into the city, "You should relax Megara, we won't be there for awhile." Liam said as he squeezed my hand. I smiled over at him and settled into the seat.

I felt so safe with Liam it almost scared me. I half expected that he was just playing with me and he was going to hand me over to my pack at any moment. I relaxed completely as I noticed that we were heading out of the city. Liam let go of my hand for a second to turn on the radio before reaching over again and placing his hand on my thigh. I glanced at him from underneath my eye lashes and smiled when I saw him looking back at me before he turned his gaze back to the road.

Music poured out of the speakers as I pressed a button on the door and the window rolled down. I jerked towards Liam who only chuckled as I leaned towards the open window as wind poured in the car. I laid my head on the window, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Chapter 3

I yawned and opened my eyes when the car stopped. I looked around and Liam was smiling over at me, "We're here." he said and got out of the car and walked up a short flight of steps to a porch. I climbed out of the car and walked up the flight of steps to where Liam stood. Grant, Gabriel and Skye unloaded the trunk and began to bring things inside as soon as Liam opened the front door and led me inside. We walked into a spacious living room with a set of stairs the led to a loft. There was a small hallway that led to a nice sized kitchen. Liam grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs, "This will be our room." He said opening a door and letting me walk in first.

My eyes widened, there was a large four poster bed. A large bay window with a cushy seat. I turned and looked at Liam before I went on the tip of my toes so I could wrap my arms around his neck and pull him close. I breathed in his scent. He smelled just like the ocean. He lifted me into his arms and groaned when I wrapped my legs around his waist, "I love you Liam. You make me feel like nothing in the world can touch me or hurt me." I whispered in his ear before I nipped at his jaw.

Liam cupped my cheek in the palm of his hand, "I love you and I promise no one is going to touch or hurt you." He said softly before he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to my lips just as the door to the bedroom opened.

"Hey Liam we have a problem." Gabriel said with a worried look on his face.

"What's going on?" He asked as he set me down on the floor and held me close to his side.

I looked at Gabriel and just knew, "They're here." I whispered and literally melted into Liam.

Gabriel nodded, "The Alpha is here. He's waiting in the living room for you Liam."

Liam nodded and began walking out of the room holding my hand and making sure I stayed behind him, "He can't have you." Liam growled softly to me as we walked down the stairs and into the living room.

In the middle of the room stood my worst nightmare. His dark blonde hair and blue eyes swept over me and he grinned a wicked grin, "She's mine Liam." He growled and took a step towards me.

I held tight to Liam and took a step back so I stood behind him, "She's mine. Not yours." Liam growled back, "She wears my scent, not yours." Liam said as I placed my palms on his back and rested my forehead on his back.

"That whore would carry anyone's scent." he said with a smirk.

Liam growled at that, "She is my mate. She now carries my scent. You should take it as the warning it is and leave her alone."

"Liam," I whispered softly and he turned and looked at me, "He's not worth the trouble." I said when he stared into my eyes. I looked at my warden, the man that had kept me prisoner for eight years, "I'm not going anywhere with you. I'm staying here with my mate." I literally growled at him, "If you need anymore proof that I'm not yours nor was I ever yours," I trailed off as I pulled Liam close and kissed him with all the love and passion I felt for him. Something I had never done with my alpha. Everything we'd ever done had been forced but not with Liam. I had given of myself like he had given of himself and I knew deep inside he would never have to force me
