Chapter 7

Chapter 7

As soon as the girl was out of our sights, I let go of him and crossed my arms around my chest. I arched a brow while my jaw clenched.

“Who was that girl?”

He looked lost. His cheeks was still painted with pink and her ears are burning red. “W-Who?”

I gritted my teeth. “Is she your girlfriend? If yes, then f*ck you. I shouldn't have really went here! I was peacefully living my life in the city and you've dragged me here, only to know that you are committed to someone before me?!”

His brows furrowed. “Katia, I don't understand you—”

“Oh, shut up! You know what I mean! That wench is your freaking girlfriend!”

“Hey, no. You got a wrong idea—”

“I believe this is my room, so therefore, I have the authority to kick you out, too. Go away!” I opened the door and pushed him out. “If you want to be with me, then you have to clear things up with your....” I wanted to say ‘slut’, but then I remembered that Catherine was the daughter of the former beta of this pack. I immediately come up with a name to call his girlfriend a not-so severe insulting name. “... with your dog!”

He has his lips parted now. I don't know if it's from shock or from the amusement. I can't really tell. I was angry and all my rational thought flew across the window. I was pissed.

“Baby, she's not—”

Again, I cut him off.

“I DON'T CARE!” with that being said, I slammed the door closed and locked it.

I gritted my teeth and slumped down on the bed. I was pissed, alright? Who wouldn't be? They are literally flirting in front of me! And they seems to ber very close! Huh!

Unlucky of her, I am his mate!

Due to irritation, I didn't get out of the room and never opened the door when I heard his knocks and pleads to open up the door for him. I almost let him in, but then I remembered Catherine, and I became annoyed to Reui's face. I don't want to see him now. I need to freaking calm down.

The night came and he knocked on the door again, telling me to open the door because it's already dinner and I should eat. But I curtly replied to him to f*ck off. I wasn't hungry nor did I feel thirsty. I am used to not having dinner so skipping dinner now will not hurt that bad. I can endure hunger for more than a day or two.

The next morning when I didn't went down for breakfast, Mommy Cam personally talked to me to open the door. She was holding a tray of yummy foods in her hands and I felt so embarrassed for even bothering her.

“S-Sorry for bothering you, M-Mommy Cam. I-I just, I'm not hungry,” I said shyly.

“It's okay, dear.” She smiled warmly at me. “I don't know why did you two argued but do not let it affect you, okay? You must not skip a meal, darling. Eat even a little just to fill your stomach.”

My cheeks burned and I looked away. I am not used to this treatment. No one has ever cared for me.

“Sorry...” I whispered guiltily.

She patted my head gently. “I've prepared a ramen. Eat it while it's hot. If you need anything, do not hesitate to call me, okay?”

Again, I smiled shyly at her as I nodded my head, muttering my gratitude towards her.

When she finally got out of the room, I started eating the ramen soup. I smelled Reui's near my room and my guess was right when I saw him peeking through my door.

I glared towards his direction.

“I know you are just right there.”

I heard a gasp. My eyes rolled upwards at his dumbness. I suddenly doubted if he's really an alpha or not.

“Come here,” I said in a stern voice. He cleared his throat and showed himself with his back straight and blank face.

“Good morning, Katia. How was your sleep?” he asked as he reluctantly approached me. I tapped the space beside me.

“Sit here,” I said when I noticed he was just standing stiff in front of me.

He nodded his head and followed as what as told.

“My sleep was nice.”

“Uhm, good to hear.”

“Yours?”

He shrugged his shoulders. “I didn't slept.”

My brows creased. “And why is that?”

He pursed his lips and looked away. I gritted my teeth in annoyance.

“Did you freaking went to see your woman?” I asked lowly yet dangerously. “I swear, if you are still dating her, I will go back to my apartment and reject you! I know my worth!” I hissed, my chest was heaving out of annoyance.

Pain crossed his eyes before it vanished and he clenched his jaw. “No one is going to reject me.”

“Hah! Unlucky of you because I can!”

“Katia, you got it all wrong, okay? I wasn't—”

“Liar! You were flirting with her yesterday!” I hissed as tears brimmed from the corner of my eyes. I wasn't a jealous type of person. I rarely react to things. Heck, I couldn't even remember I felt this way! I'm always cold and indifferent. I don't talk to people, let alone to care a stranger like him! “F*ck. I hate this mate thing!” I groaned as I wiped the tears that soaked my cheek. “I-It hurts! And... a-and I couldn't help but feeling these... t-these strange things! I know I don't love you yet but I'm j-jealous! I, I couldn't hep it!” I blurted out as more tears escaped my eyes. I covered my face with my hands. “Ugh! This is so embarrassing!” I said, more likely to myself. I am a total mess, sobbing while scolding myself internally for embarrassing myself in front of his face.

“Katia,” he spoke gently as he held my wrist, trying to pry my hands from my face. “Look at me, baby.”

I bit my bottom lip and let him cup my cheeks. My arms fell down on either sides of me. “I'm... I-I'm selfish and... I, I don't know. I don't know why am I feeling this way. This is so unlikely of me,” I sobbed.

“Shhh...” He wiped my tears.

“No, alpha. Before I got here, I'm usually quiet. I don't talk to anyone. Heck, I could even remember my word count every day. I'm not a talker. B-But, look at me now. Babbling like an insane woman—”

He suddenly sealed my lips with his, shutting me off. My teary eyes widened.

He pulled away and looked at me wearily. “I don't mind you babbling around, baby. But please, hear me out first, okay?”

He pecked my lips again.

“Catherine is not my girlfriend nor connected with me romantically. It's all ‘you’ that I want, that I wait, and that I will love until my last breathe.” His earnest voice made my chest jumped against its ribcage. “Katia, you are everything to me now. You became my life the second time I got so see you, so please, do me a favor and listen to the beat of my heart. It beats for you. You alone.”

“Reui...” I said.

“You are the gift from the Moon Goddess and I swore to the Forest of Life that I won't never, ever do anything to break your heart.”
