Chapter 26

• “I refused dad’s kiss so my punishment was ten hits. I refused to take my clothes off so the compromise Alice came up with once she had me pinned to the bed was to put all his strength into fifteen hits with my clothes on. He did ten hits as hard as he could with my clothes but it wasn’t enough. He then pulled my dress up for Alice to hold and removed my underwear. He spread my legs before forcing a finger inside me making me squirm and cry, telling him no. I didn’t want it. That it didn’t feel good. That’s when he stood up and put fifteen more on my bare bottom. That’s what my Saturdays became until I turned ten.
• I learned his rules quickly. If I whined, cried, told him no, told him it hurt, to stop or I didn’t like it then he would hit me fifteen times with the belt. It was the Saturday after my tenth birthday that he told me that it was time for me to understand what sex with an alpha felt like. That when I have sex with my fated mate I would encounter the mating knot and that the knot always hurt. There’s no way around it. That my fated mate would be as ruthless in bed as he was in battle and wouldn’t tolerate me crying over the pain it caused.
• His job as my father was to expose me to such pain and force me to deal with it. I was horrified by what he said. I had no idea what was in store for me. I was instructed to take off all my clothes, and to make it easier on me, he put a blindfold on me and tied me to the bed. He climbed on top of me and started with what I knew but also added things that were new.
