Chapter Eight: Consequences
I ran out of the room and I knew Bellamy was in the courtyard, where there was trading amongst other things. I knew this was cowardly but I truly don't understand why I must be with Bellamy. He scared me, he threaten to demolish my people and my mother was amount this people. Hundreds of grounders swerved around, everyone knew the king and yet they never tried attacking him. Slow steps with heightened anxiety kept me going, my stomach was in knots, twisting and turning violently almost causing me to wretch right there.
Part of me was glad I was doing this but there was another part of me that was refusing this, that strongly wanted me to be happy. What happened with Finn being with Raven even though we had slept together he never bothered telling me until he had Raven wrapped around his arms. Staring up Bellamy was hiding an apple smirking his eyes lowered almost checking me out.
"We need to talk"
Bellamy smirks at me, but what hurts me slightly is that he wont see the coming.
"We can talk here princess" he said biting into an apple.
"I'm serious Bellamy"
"As am I, princess" he shrugs.
"I, Clarke Griffin of Skaikru reject you–"
Bellamy grabs my hair and twist me against his chest my back against it, he could probably feel my heart rate increase drastically.
"Who told you"
The words at spat out as if he taste something sour his face twisted in displeasure, the apple is on the ground forgotten. I keep my lips in a firm line, grounder have stopped and watch this possibly deathly confrontation. I didn't know what to say or do, my anxiety is sky rocketing.
"You think you can leave me?" he laughs mocking me.
Other grounders start sniggering at my foolishness but I know I just have to finish the sentence.
"Bellamy Blake the King of grounders" I hurriedly say and push myself away from him.
"How dare you!" he's in a seething rage. People stare looks of fear, their leader has been shown that he's weak.
"One thing you weren't told Clarke is that I don't accept you're rejection" Bellamy sneers exposing my pale neck.
Before I could defend myself away from this man he grabs my neck biting into it, I don't understand what's going on. Grounder men and cheering while the women give looks of pity, strangely enough some of the own pity me. A scream had escaped my lips, my body slowly going limp, I felt the sharp pain and then a pleasurable euphoria overtakes me pushing whatever resentment say and returning it with lust.
"Bellamy!"
Octavia comes running through the thick crowds with her sword is drawn, she is furious; along with Aurora Blake, I had tears falling down my face.
"Bellamy Blake!" Aurora yells and she goes the crowd a deadly look, almost instantly they disperse.
I'm barley able to stand, Octavia comes but Bellamy growls possessively at me and part of me wants to stay latched on him. What scared me most any bit of resentment was gone, my body wanted him.
"Clarke common, I know you don't want him near you when I explained what will happen" Octavia warned her brother.
I managed to get myself to Octavia stumbling, she gives me a look of pity, along with Aurora. The large building looks the same, walking in I feel different.
"What's happening to me?" I began to feel myself panicking.
"Clarke calm down" Octavia says in a soothing tone.
"Why did he bite my neck!" I screamed as the blood had begin to dry making my skin very uncomfortable.
"Most men don't do it anymore, it's practically barbaric" Aurora whispers.
"What did he do!"
Octavia and Aurora exchange worried glances yet said nothing.
"Clarke, he claimed you which means you will mate within the next full moon"
"Oh god"
"That's what you'll be saying during the full moon" Octavia chimed.
"Octavia Lexia Blake!"
"Sorry mom" she said sheepishly.
"Clarke I'm so sorry"
I looked away from my window watching the sun go down, the village people were celebrating. They think the kingdom will have heir within the spring. I shivered just the thought causing ripples of goosebumps to cross my skin.
Bellamy ha that effect on me now, I couldn't do anything without thinking of him. I got up and opened the door seeing a stressed Bellamy.
"Sorry doesn't cut it" I stated blunt watching his eyes look sorry and then rage flashes in his dark brown eyes.
"I need you"
I looked up surprised, Raven decided at that moment to appear. Her hair was messy as if she had just gotten out.
"I'm just here to tell you I'm leaving in the morning" she yawned tiredly and waved and sleepily walked away. I forgot she had installed a communication system.
"I'll see you before you go" I assure her.
"Is that blood?" Raven said rising an eyebrow, she rubs her eyes.
"Yeah don't worry" I said cleaning my teeth.
Raven doesn't argue, she leaves me alone with the beast.
"Clarke I need you around me, my wolf is becoming restless" Bellamy told me.
"How does that make me feel better?" I hissed.
"I have violent tendencies, you're suppose to control him" Bellamy spoke cautiously.
"Clarke please..."
I stared up at him and every defence I held up was slowly coming down. I was indefinitely afraid, his hand touched my arm I almost moaned out at such a simple gesture.
"Don't hate yourself for wanting this; Clarke" he tells me.
I'm thinking with my head, Aurora told me that; she wanted nothing more for me to be with Bellamy but every fibre of my own being was fighting it.
"Clarke don't fight it"
I stopped abruptly, he gave me a small smile I saw it as he read my thoughts,
"How?"
"I can hear your thoughts"
"Fucking hell" I almost shouted moving away.
"Clarke–"
"I wish you chose someone else" I hissed.
"Clarke whether you like or not we will mate, no one has ever been marked and have been able to hold out past the full moon" Bellamy spoke.
"Watch me, Blake"
