“Your mouth would get you in trouble.” His eyes dropped down to my mouth and his eyes darkened and his pupils dilated. I squirmed under his gaze and his eyes fell further to my chest. I crossed my arms to hide them but it turned out to be a wrong move as I only pushed my chest up. He smirked, thinking I did it to entice him.
“I know you want me too. We can go back to how we used to be. Don’t you want that?” He brushed my hair away from my face with a soft look in his eyes and a small smile on his l!ps. He seemed to have gone far into his thoughts; entertaining thoughts of us going back together. We’d been good friends before but now I didn’t want anything to do with him ever again.
“I wanted that last year. I wanted that two years ago but you made it clear that we were never going to go back to how we used to be. We’re adults now. There’s no need to go after me. I’m sure you’ll find a pretty girl to waste your time with before you settle down with Skylar.”
“I know I’ve deceived you before but I’m serious this time. I broke up with Skylar. She and I are only friends now. You’re the one on my mind now. I sleep with you on my mind and I wake up with you on my mind. I see a future with you, Aysel. Let me love you the way I want to.” His eyes were soft and sincere and things clicked then.
He was feeling the loss already.
He didn’t even know it himself but a part of him could sense that I was a short way away from being someone else’s for life and that way, I couldn’t be with him anymore. If I mated with the prince, he could never take back his rejection and his subconscious was telling him that. His subconscious recognized the loss before the man in him did and he was trying to fight it.
“Baby, we can start our lives now. I’ve been thinking. I remember when we were little, you wanted a big family. Two girls and two boys. I’m ready to give them to you. The girls will look like you and the boys will look like their daddy. You just have to agree to be with me and we’ll start the life you always wanted.”
Two years ago, these words from Lucien would put me over the moon. I may have dragged him to his room and let him have his way with me but those dreams were long gone.
This was typical Lucien behavior. When he felt like he was losing me, he came back with promises of the life he could give me. He didn’t want me until it felt like someone else could have me, then he remembered I was his. He got possessive and stuck to me, giving me the illusion that the past could be fixed but I knew better now.
My wolf already formed an attachment to another so his words didn’t even stir anything inside of me. Nothing but annoyance. My bond with the prince was new but already stronger than the bond I ever shared with Lucien.
“Lucien, you rejected me and I accepted your rejection. We are never going back to the past. I don’t want you. I don’t -“
“I love you.” My vision blurred as he interrupted me. “I’m in love with you, baby.”
“Lucien!” I exclaimed in horror.
“I fvcked up but I love you. How can I not? You were made for me. Please just give me a chance to show you that I’m not lying. Give me a chance to prove my love to you. We don’t even have to mate now. We can date for a while until you’re sure my intentions are true then -“
“What is going on here?” A cold voice called from behind me. I froze as did Lucien.
“A – alpha!” Lucien let me go as I turned but he still kept his hand on my wa!st. Valens glared at the hand until it fell from my wa!st.
“I have work for you in the dungeons, Beta Lucien.” His words were tight with anger. “Come with me, omega.”
“I swear, it’s not what you’re thinking,” I said to Valens, running after him as he turned his back and led us to the pack house.
“What am I thinking?” His cool voice asked. The cold in his voice made me numb and desperate. My wolf already formed a connection with him and she was desperate not to ruin it.
‘I’ll die if he rejects us, Aysel. Appeal to him. Appeal to his wolf. He is our true mate!’ She kept yelling into my head as I ran after Valens who neither turned me slowed as his long legs stride into the pack house.
We got into the elevator to take us to the penthouse – his place. I hustled into the elevator right as it was about to close because he didn’t hold it open for me.
“You’re thinking that – that I’m cheating on you with him but I swear on my parent’s grave that it isn’t anything like that.” He didn’t answer me. He continued to look straight ahead at the cool silver walls of the elevator door as it took us up.
“Please, alpha, I am not like that. I would never – I would never disrespect our bond like that.” I wished he would look at me at least but he didn’t. I felt as if I disgusted him so much to the point where he couldn’t stomach looking at me.
First I tried to poison him, then Lucien k!ssed me in my room where his beta caught us and now, he found me with the same man in a secluded part of the pack house with the said man pressed against me while professing his love for me. There was no way he wouldn’t misinterpret all these. I must be a traitor and a promiscuous person in his eyes.
“He is the same man you were k!ssing the other day.”
“I wasn’t – I wasn’t k!ssing him. He was k!ssing me!” I exclaimed.
Once, Lucien vowed he would ruin my life. I think even subconsciously, he was still hellbent on destroying me. He could ruin the bond I had with the prince without even knowing.
The elevator opened at the penthouse suite and he walked out, going into the living room while I rushed after him.
“Please, Valens, you have to believe me. I am not – I am not that kind of a girl.” I wiped tears from my cheeks at his stoic, unbending persona.
“For a hundred and four years, I searched for a woman to take my curse, one I could give my heart and share my world with but instead I got you.” Pain pierced my heart when he finally turned to look at me.
I didn’t understand why his words hurt me so much. Why was our bond so strong? I didn’t even feel this much pain when I took a box of chocolate to school and presented them to Lucien only for him to throw them to the ground and stomp all over them before drawing Skylar into his arms to share a passionate k!ss.
I wasn’t this hurt when I watched the pack burn my parents body and throw their ashes away after cursing them but when he looked at me without emotion, I wanted to fall to the ground and cry. For a man that I’d only known for a week.
‘A mate bond will have an alpha warrior on his knees for a woman he just met.’
I thought I knew the power of a mate bond after Lucien but it turned out, I didn’t know anything.
“You betrayed me on the very first day. You have defiled yourself with that – with that thing.” His face contorted as he thought of Lucien.
“No, no. It is not like that!”
“I saw it with my own eyes.” He snarled, sweeping his hands through the dresser to send things crashing and breaking on the floor. “The only reason I let you out of this room everyday is for you to get stronger. Do you know what it means to be my Luna? I have made more enemies than friends in my years of conquering. They would tear you apart if they sensed the slightest weakness from you but rather than train to be a strong Luna, you run after a man and rub yourself all over him!”
