Chapter 11
My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach as his words kept on replaying in my head. My heart went numb as the pain in my chest hasn't faltered since that time. It was already 7 days ago but the pain I felt didn't fade away. He had already apologized but I couldn't bring myself to accept his apology that instant. I am not mad at him, alright? I just... I don't precisely know what to feel.
I know I'm at fault, too, for not following what he told me to do. I didn't listened. I've even went beyond it. So I can't really blame him if he reacted that way.
But... his action made me agitated. He was exaggerating things. He doesn't want me to look at boys, let alone smile at them. He was damn possessive and it's kinda suffocating.
Right now, I'm on the clearing with Ingrid beside me. Half naked men and sweated women were fighting hand to hand combats. Some were sword fighting.
We were sitting on a log as we talked animatedly and laughed to our own silly jokes. But that quickly ended when I heard a low, warning growl from behind.
My whole body went stiff.
“Katia.” Reui held my wrist and pulled me up.
I narrowed my eyes at him. “What is, again, wrong with you?” I said, not minding if his people might hear me blatantly disrespecting their alpha.
“I told you not to come here but you didn't listened to me!” he hissed, clearly not amused by me going here to watch his people's training.
“And why couldn't I come here? I am just sitting here with Ingrid—”
“Sitting?! Goodness, Katia! There are almost naked people here!” he yelled at me.
My face flushed in irritation. “And so, what?! I am not doing anything to them and so as them to me! I am not a kid, Reui! I am not your prisoner! Shut the fuck up and stop being so possessive! I haven't even accepted your apology and here you are, doing the same mistake again! I swear if you lock me up in the house again because of your stupid jealousy and paranoid, I will go back to my apartment and will never meet you ever again!”
I pushed his chest and walked past him. I trotted my way towards the pack house few distance away from the clearing. I walked upstairs and slammed the door hard I bet the whole house shook. My whole body was trembling from the suppressed anger.
“Katia, baby, please open the door.” I heard him knocking on the door. His voice has this pleading tone as if he's a tamed dog, where in fact, he's an obsessed beast beneath his softy appearance.
“Go away, Reui!”
“Please, baby, open it. I'm sorry. Please, let's talk,” he pleadingly said.
“No!”
“Please?” he tried to coo me.
“F*CK OFF!”
“Baby, watch your language. I'm sorry, okay? Please, let me make it up to you.”
“I DON'T FUCKING CARE! GO AWAY! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR UGLY FACE!”
“Are you on period, baby? Should I bring a sanitary pads for you—”
“NO! I'M NOT!”
“Are you sure? But you're being grumpy—”
“STOP DIVERTING THE SUBJECT! GO AWAY AND DON'T SHOW YOUR FACE TO ME! I'M NOT IN MOOD TO ARGUE! PLEASE, LET ME FREAKING HAVE MY PEACE!”
“Then, let's not argue. Open the door and let's make it up,” he persisted.
I covered my face through the pillow and screamed, the sound was muffled by the poor pillow.
“Baby, you okay there?”
“PLEASE,” I breathe heavily, “LEAVE ME ALONE! AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, STOP CALLING ME BABY! I HAVE A NAME!”
“I'm sorry...” he said dejectedly. “I just... I can't stop it. You're just so beautiful, and if I let you go wandering around the pack, many men will gonna see you. I am selfish, I know, but I don't want anyone to see what's mine.”
I gritted my teeth.
“I hate you,” I said in a small voice, which I knew it didn't go unnoticed by him.
He sighed. “I'm really sorry. Please...”
I shut my eyes and didn't answered him. I turned my back on the door and lay sideways.
“I'm going to get in, okay?”
I pursed my lips. He has a spare key of this room so I can't really push him that easy. The door gently open and I sensed him going in.
The bed dipped from behind as he sat down. “Baby, are you still mad?”
Yes. I am mad. We have just met and you're already acting like a jealous lover. We aren't even in a relationship!
“Baby, please talk to me...”
I won't talk to you, you dumbass shit! After you embarrassed me in front of your people, you'll pretend as if you didn't do anything wrong!
“Katia, baby, I know you're mad. I'm very sorry.”
I snorted. “What did you say? You are sorry? Tsk. Don't make me laugh, Reui. You are not sorry. You keep on apolozing but you always keep doing it. You know what? I really think we need to stop this right now. Being in this place—this pack— doesn't just suit on me. I am better alone in my apartment than to be here. You can make that Cathebitch to be your Luna because I have no interest about being one, anyway. Let me go and I won't bother you anymore.”
“No.” His voice was stern. “No one's leaving, and nope, I would rather choose not to have a Luna if it's not you. How many times do I need to tell you there is nothing going on between she and I?”
I chuckled sarcastically. “Yeah, and pigs can fly.”
He sighed in defeat.
I turned to face him and sat up, bringing my knees to my chest as I stared at him through my misty eyes.
“You're so unfair with me.” My voice nearly cracked.
His eyes softened.
“I understand if you were mad at me because I went to that bar and got drunk, I broke your rule. But you're over controlling! You're becoming obsessed with me day by day and it's not freaking healthy, Reui. It's creeping me out!”
He looked down, ashamed.
“If you keep on doing this, I don't think this relationship will work. I used to be free. No one's controlling my life. No one's dictating me what, and what not to do. I always make a decision for myself, and then all of a sudden, you came and started acting as if I do belong to you—as if I'm a property you own.” I took a deep breathe. “Listen. I know we are mates and even if I want it or not, I have no choice but to get tied with you otherwise both of us will suffer if we separated. But... please, understand that you can't just possibly stop me from looking at other people, especially men. Not that I'm looking at them the same way I look at you. Stop forbidding me. I'm no prisoner.”
“You're not...” he murmured.
A long deafening silence swallowed the both of us. I wiped my own tears and gritted my teeth to stop my lips from trembling.
“I'm sorry...”
He met my eyes and stared at me intently.
“I'm sorry if I became too possessive of you. I will try my best to stop it. I will not make you uncomfortable again. If ever I unintentionally did, tell me and I'll immediately stop. Please, give me a chance to change myself. Give me a chance to treat you right.”
I stared at him back and saw the sincerity in his silver eyes. It tells nothing but truth. My heart took a leap.
He patiently waited for me to respond.
After a few minutes of thinking, I nodded my head. “Fine... but will you promise not to get mad again?”
He pursed his lips. “I can't promise that. Except if it has a valid reason.”
“Okay, that's fine with me. Another thing,” I continued, “stop forbidding me from interacting with other people. I thought you want me to interact with them? Why now are you prohibiting me?”
He suddenly pouted his lips. “Because I get mad when I saw those men looking at you. I don't want to get mad.”
I arched a brow. “That's it?”
He sighed. “When I came to the bar to fetch you, countless of preying eyes were looking at you. I want rip off their heads in instant. They're looking at you and they totally forgot that you are mine. They should not look at you like that.”
“You're exaggerating. I bet they're just looking at me that night because I was the most noisy.”
That's true though. I received some weird looks from people. I tried to ask the bartender and Ingrid why, and they told me it was because I was loud. Everyone knew who I am that day because before Reui left, he mindlinked to everyone that their Luna was here and men should not look at her. My face was unfamiliar to them, therefore, they got the hint that the person they're looking was no other than what their alpha mentioned before he left. No one's looking at me in a sensual way. For God's sake.
Reui spoke, “Either way, I don't like it when they look at you.”
I rolled my eyes.
“Why are you so insecure, huh? I am not planning to flirt with anyone.”
He suddenly avoided my gaze. I noticed him going silent all of a sudden. I pursed my lips, noticing there is something behind all of this.
“Reui,” I called his name.
He shook his head. “I'm not insecure. I just... I'm perturbed because I haven't marked you yet and if you decided to reject me, I can't do anything. I want you, as much as possible, to be mine and mine alone.”
Chapter 12“I am not planning to reject you, okay?” I said.“You don't?” he asked adorably with his eyes blinking.I shook my head. “No. Where did you got that ridiculous idea?”He looked away as his lips protruded.“Reui, look at me.” He did what was told. Our eyes locked. I heave a deep sigh. “Okay, I will give you a chance to change. I'm not saying I want you to totally change yourself. I like the way you are, just reduce being so possessive. It's not healthy and it's creeping me out to be quite frankly.”He nodded his head. “Okay then, starting from today onwards, I will try my hardest not to suffocate you. As long those men has no hidden agenda or feelings towards you, I would behave.” He smiled gratefully and held my hand. “Thank you, baby. Thanks for giving me a chance, and thanks for understanding my situation. Rest assured, I won't act that way ever again. I apologize to all the foul, offensive words I said to you whenever I lost my control. I promise not to do it again.”I s
Chapter 13“Clean the mess up.” Reui's voice came out cold as he spoke towards his men who came right after Reui had disposed all the rogues. The sun has finally set and it was starting to get dark.“Yes, alpha,” said by his men.He hugged my waist and pulled me close to him. I snuggled my face to his chest to prevent myself from seeing the horrible state of the four rogues who wished the harm us. When I saw the bloodied scene, I freaked out. I didn't know I'm scared to blood until today. Gosh, I experienced a lot of first times.Like, when I said to myself I liked him. Like how I climbed up to tree, like how I discovered I actually am scared of heights and blood. I didn't know any of it until now. I don't know whether to be glad or to be scared.“Let's go,” Reui softly said, only for me, as he gently rubbed my back. I shook my head, eyes closed tightly. I'm scared to open my eyes. “You don't want to?” he asked.I shook my head.“Hmm, how about I pick you up? Is that okay with my baby
Chapter 14 I woke up lying next to him. A smile graced upon my face as I saw his beautiful face looking so adorable. His lips were slightly open as he silently snore. His lashes was too visible to see because his eyes were closed. His red lips also looks so tempting to get a taste. I shook my head and giggled softly. I got up and headed towards the shower. I took my time cleaning myself before I went downstairs. I found mommy Cam cooking. I offered a help and she gladly accepted my offer. Both of us were chatting as we enjoy our bonding time together. I woke up around 5, and went downstairs around 6. After preparing the breakfast, I called Reui and the twins from their respective rooms. It's around 7 am now. “Wow, you cooked these?” he mused, looking at me happily. I sheepishly smiled. “No. I only help mommy Cam to prepare this. She cook these delicious food, not me.” “Ah, don't flatter me so much, dear. You help me with the cooking, so the credits shall go upon you, too. You're
Chapter 15I watched, amazed, as a huge wolf rubbed his face against me as if wanting to be caressed. I held the huge, black wolf's face and kissed his forehead. I caressed his head.“Your wolf is quite impressive, Reui,” I said softly. He purred softly and rubbed his face against me. I giggled and couldn't help but to kiss him again and again.“He said, thank you,” Catherine spoke, ruining the good moment, of course, she would. After all, she's a bitch.“Ah...” I lamely said and nodded my head. I forgot that they could communicate through mindlink. Ingrid told me that once Reui and I mated, we were able to communicate as well through link, and so to the other members of this pack.“He said do you find him beautiful?” she said again.I am growing irritated to her presence but I held it out. I don't want to lash out over this things. I'm not that childish.“Of course, I find you beautiful, Reui. You're MY mate,” I said, emphasizing ‘my’ to provoke Catherine, which was successful becaus
Chapter 16“Where's Catherine?” I asked.He shrugged. “Didn't we left her?”“Yes, but... didn't she say she'll tag along?”“She only said she wanted to see my wolf again, she never say she'll be a third wheel on our date for this day.”“D-Date?”“Yes. Date. We're now dating, right?”“Uhm, yes, but—”“Then date it is!” he exclaimed and punched in the air as a triumph smile appeared on his face.I scoffed and rolled my eyes. “Whatever.”He grinned.He took ahold of my hand and dragged me with him towards the huge rock. We sat there side by side with his hand couldn't stop but clinging on to me.“Why did you brought me here?” I asked.“I want to show you this river.”“The River of Eternal Life?” I frowned. “Why does it have a name? I mean, does it have some value on your pack... or whatnot?”“You probably haven't heard it,” he started. “Well, in this race, we have one Goddess that we worship.”“The Moon Goddess, right?”“Yep. Her name is Selena.”I nodded my head and poured all my attent
Chapter 17We played in the river for few hours. Just talking and laughing around. We only decided to stop when it's nearly lunch. We need to eat of course. I decided to shift on our way back to the pack house. Shifting on to my beautiful golden wolf, Reui could not stop wiggling his tails and licking my face while making some purring sounds. I licked his face back and and rubbed myself to him. We could not communicate yet but we already understood each other.I growled at him when he couldn't stop himself from nudging me from time to time and making begging noises. I know he wants me to lick him again so all my scent will scattered around him. He could not even stop rubbing himself to me while we were trotting back to the house! This clingy and possessive wolf! Gosh!He was the one to shift back to his human form. He handed me some spare clothes and I changed from the back of the trunk.I glared at him. “You're so clingy!”He grinned and shyly scratched his eyebrow. “Can't help it.
Hello, I don't know if anyone is even reading this book but I have already stopped writing this one for a very long time due to personal matters and it's affecting my studies. I apologize for it. But I promise to finish this book within this year, hopefully. It was so hard for me to write whilst studying, so I momentarily stopped updating for a while, but as promised, I will be back and continue what I have started. Goodnovel is good to me and offered me contract so finishing this book is a must. That's all I have to say, thank you.
Chapter 1I awoke in a familiar room, feeling slightly groggy and disoriented. I struggled to keep my heavy eyelids open as I peeled myself from the bed. I fought the urge to lie back down as I got onto my feet and stretched my arms. It's Saturday, nearly midday, and I have a job to attend to, which is my only source of income to support myself and my tuition at college. I have no one to lean on and no family to ask for help. So no one will give me money if I lie here all day. I had to work hard for me to be able to live. To be quite honest, I don't see any reason Why do I have to keep living, why do I have to keep breathing, and why the f*ck do I need to keep working my ass off when I could've just chosen to die. In that way, I wouldn't need to suffer every day for being a lonely creature. I have no family, I have no friends. I have nothing.No one will miss or notice when I die.I shook my head and laughed to myself at the depressing thoughts that had crossed my mind. Silly. I hea
