Biceps

Chapter 06

Alima POV

I turn my face away from his own immediately,there’s something about the way he stares at me that I just find so confusing.

“I’m sorry” he whispers

Did he just apologize for his lips brushing against mine? He continues walking while I try to look away from his eyes.

His eyes are so enchanting and the more I stare at them the more I find it more deceiving because that’s all they do no matter how innocent they look like.

We finally got to an open space and he slowly put me down, “Are you okay? He asked with his eyes searching into mine.

I looked out at him briefly before staring back at the stars , “if you’re tired we could go back in so you could rest” I could hear how worried he sounds.

“I’m fine” I quickly replied before he would say another thing.

We both stared into the stars till my eyes caught a shadow from the balcony not far from us, it was his cousin.

If all of this is real, why is he not rejecting me? His fortress is bigger than Alpha Merek's and his looks are ten times hotter. Right from full hairline to his brow, his long lashes and his dark eyeball that keeps one drowning in love at first sight with him.

I’m not saying I’m in love with him but anyone would have fallen in love with him at first sight.

I’m way down his league and he will never stoop so low of himself, I will be a stain to him and he will definitely want to get rid of me before his pack members will hear about it.

The more I think about it the more it seems so impossible to me, I hope desperately I don’t die from his rejections.

I won’t fall for his short time lies and the care he’s showing to me, no I won’t be deceived this time around.

“You look more real to me than the stars” He murmurs and I darted my eyes away from the stars. I wasn't really staring at them even when they were so beautiful.

The thoughts of the pains I will have to go through when he rejects me keep slamming in.

“You have so much going on in your mind,” he added.

“When do you plan to reject me?” I threw the question at him, his face twisted like he didn’t know what I’m talking about.

“Why would I do that?” He answered me with a question.

I went silent because I don’t want to argue with him and I will definitely remind him of this moment when he does and then I will be asking him this question he’s asking me.

They all pretend like the bond is truly controlling them but in the end they know what they are doing, it has happened over and over again but it’s always the fault of the lowest ones getting mated to them.

We didn’t control what happened to us but when it happened they made it worse and gave us false hope even when there’s always this second voice telling us it’s all deceit.

“I will never reject you!” he said so firmly as if trying to sink the word into my head.

Like I’m allergic to the lies he just said I started sneezing so hard, I realize I must have caught the cold from the forest.

“We should go back inside, I will have them prepare something that can take the cold away” he held my two shoulders as if guiding his daughter step.

I wiggle my shoulder and he freed me immediately like he had just realised he got too close to me, we both started walking through the hallway he had carried me through earlier.

“I didn’t know there’s someone who is below my size till you’re putting my dress on” Janet his cousin's voice comes out from my left hand corner.

I don’t see any resemblance between the two of them and she’s really acting so competitive, like I’m about to snatch something from her grip.

I bet she thinks he might wants me like he’s proposing to be, “i didn’t know the clothes were yours”

“You don’t have to explain to her Alima” He replied before she could say another thing.

“Wow, you already know her name? That’s fast”she chuckles and walks to his side whispering something into his ear.

He looked at me briefly with a frown and quickly shoved whatever feelings he might have felt when she whispered something to him.

“The important thing right now is that we both felt the mate bond and she can’t reject me” He replied to her with a shrug,he reached out for my hand and hastened his foot step.

“It doesn’t matter what you think of me right now, I’m not going to hurt you and I can never reject you no matter what. The only thing that matters is you’re my mate and that’s all need” he speaks so well that it started sounding like an echo from a stage.

I remove my hand from his grip immediately and walk with him. I'm tired and sick of every word that comes out of his mouth.

What does he think I’m ? Idiot who couldn’t tell left from right? I followed him in silence while he kept looking at my face from time to time till we got to the bedroom he had walked me out from earlier.

I couldn’t tell what he was thinking each time our eyes met and I would quickly look away, deep down inside me I desperately wished it’s all a dream.

He opened the door and ushered me in, he pulled off his top almost immediately while I looked away.

Are we sleeping in the same room? He was talking about me resting a few minutes ago and he’s pulling off his clothes right in front of me in a closed space.

The room might be a king size one but it didn’t change the fact that it’s a bedroom.

How can I be mated to another so fast? I have picked on my nails many times. I believe if it were to be a dream I should be awake by now.

He strides forward to a door on his right hand side, turns the door knob open and shuts behind him.

I released a deep breath that I was not aware I had been holding in, the door opened and he walked out with only a towel tied round his waistline with his abs dangerously exposed.

My eyes opened wide, glued to his chest shamelessly, is he even real?I stared at him so badly with my mouth slightly open that he caught me in the act.

I didn’t look away, instead I moved my gaze from his bicep up to his lips.
