Let's go for a walk

Chapter 6

Bryant Reed

The thought of her sleeping with that despicable man wouldn't stop playing in my head. I felt my wolf agitated about this too. I couldn't imagine her kissing that man when we already kissed. The thought of it was driving me nuts and I felt like screaming out my lungs.

My body suddenly felt so hot, so I unbuttoned my shirt to get fresh air, but it turned out that the heat was inside me.

I wheeled myself into the house and managed to get to the hallway. I stopped in front of her door and placed a knock on it. Not that I had something to tell her, maybe because I just wanted to see her.

The door soon opened, and her face dilated in shock when she saw me.

"Br...yant?" She had this shocked expression written on her face.

"Can you take me for a walk? I'm bored," I asked her, and she seemed to think about it for a while before she nodded her head.

"Sure. Wait here for me. I need to change my dress," she said to me, and I nodded my head. She walked back into her room and I heard her lock her door from inside. Is she thinking that I'll break into her room? Ugh! That's crazy to think about.

She finally came out of the room about five minutes later, cladded in a casual short gown that stopped just a few inches after her knees. Her hair was falling freely down her shoulders, and she looked extremely beautiful. She always looked cute in anything she wears, she's naturally and effortlessly pretty.

"Are you ready?" She asked me, and I nodded my head.

"You can just come with me. I will wheel the chair," I said to her, but she scoffed and went to stand behind me.

"I got this," she uttered, and soon, the chair started moving.

Taking a walk with her felt like heaven. I have never been so excited about the way I felt right now, and I wished this could last forever.

"Do you know how to drive?" I asked her out of the blue moon when we arrived at the indoor pool in the mansion.

"Yes. I used to work as a designated driver at a point in my life," she replied to me, and I nodded. I shouldn't be curious to know more about her, I should be that calm and brainless dumbass I've been posing as for years now, but being around her gave me a sense of security that I felt like letting it all out.

"You are a werewolf too, right?" She asked me, and I nodded my head.

"Really?" She shrieked, coming to sit on the chair in front of me.

"Hmm," I nodded my head.

"Wow! I was just wondering. Can you tell me what it feels like to be a werewolf?" She asked, leaning forward and cupping her cheeks in her palms. Her eyes felt like they were piercing into my soul. The spark in them was the prettiest thing I've ever seen. One would literally fall for her with just the charm in her eyes, and I guess I did already, but I needed to control it.

"I don't know," I replied to her in the dumbest voice I could ever use, and she sighed disappointedly. She must've been really curious to know, but even if I wanted to be free around her, I didn't want to give her room to suspect that I've just been pretending to be sick.

"That's sad," she pouted her lips, and my heart skipped. Naughty thoughts came to my head, but I quickly dismissed them, reminding myself that I needed to mark my line. She already told me earlier that she was going to be mad at me if I did that again, so I had to control it.

"That reminds me. Do you by chance have a library in the house?" She asked her eyes piercing into mine.

"I don't know," I replied to her again, and I guess she was already getting frustrated with my blunt reply. It wasn't my fault, anyway.

"Uh oh... Ok," she slowly nodded her head.

"Don't be ridiculous, Celine. You know he is not smart to answer your question. You should stop being too curious," I didn't mean to invade her thoughts, but they just came naturally and I heard her clearly in my head. My heart dropped and my mouth dropped open. Although life was unfair to me, but I still had my abilities as a werewolf, which were not limited to hearing people's thoughts, but it has always happened only whenever I wanted to do it, and to think it happening naturally now without planning to, it felt crazy. What the heck is happening?

"Are you going to bear a pup for the Alpha?" I was so curious that I ended up asking her even though I wanted to hold it in. My curiosity ended up getting the best of me, so what could I do?

She stared at me blankly for a few seconds, then sighed and reclined on the chair she was seated.

"That's why I'm here," her reply broke my heart, and I scoffed silently. I couldn't even show my displease to her, I had to hold it all inside and pretend everything was fine, when deep inside me I didn't want them together.

"That's why I'm here, anyway. I'm leaving after I have a son for him. That was our agreement. Did he tell you about it?" She asked me, raising her eyebrows and probably expecting an answer from me, so I slowly nodded my head.

"Hmm. He did," I replied to her, and she smiled, turning her face away. I stared at the side of her face, my heart hurting from the thought of her having a child for that man, but sadly, I couldn't tell her how I felt.

She looked like she was bothered by something. The look on her face said it all. I wanted to invade her thoughts, but it was impossible this time, so I just gave up.

"I really feel bad for you... Seeing you like this makes me feel bad, and I wish more than anything that you get better. Life can be unfair sometimes, but it's really extreme," Her thoughts echoed in my head occasionally, and I slowly clenched my fingers tightly. I hated it when someone took pity on me, it makes me feel weak, it makes feel less of a man, but it hurts even more that this was coming from her.

My wolf felt insulted and enraged, I could feel my blood boiling in fury, and my throat felt like it was on fire. It was so hot that the heat was radiating in my stomach.

"I'm not pathetic," I yelled at the top of my voice before I could hold it back, and she flinched.

"Yo...your eyes..." She looked so frightened as she jerked up to her feet, pointing at my eyes as she stepped away from me. My wolf crawled out for a moment and I couldn't control it.

"Ce... Celine..." I stuttered waves of guilt spurred through me. I have never felt so bad about my action all my life, and it felt like I'd committed a grievous sin at this point. How the heck was I going to make it up to her?
