Chapter 5: Nemesis game card

 

Melissa's POV

“Mate?” I muttered crinkling my face at the word

I lifted my head to take a closer look at his face again.Perherps my wolf was mistaken,I tilted my head to both sides with narrowed eyes and pursed lips as I tried to wrap my head around the fact that my wolf had just called him mate.But it didnt just make any sense to me.

Sweeping my face up and down his body,I noticed his dark colded eyes, cynical smile that twisted his lips, and muscles treating to rip his short sleeves apart.

Then I lowered my head and buried my face in my hair.

“You've got to be kidding me”I said muttering the words under my breath.

How in the world is he mate?,My one night stand?. It doesn't just make any sense

“You are destined to be mate”my wolf purred

“For goodness sake, read the room” I said, speaking through my teeth with forced restraint

“Didn't you hear his father call me his plaything?What do you think he will see me as?.Of course he would see me the same.

“Did you say something?” The young man asked.

Something in his voice made me look up.

“Pardon?” the words jolted out of my lips on its own accord.

“Who do we have here?" He asked, narrowing his gaze at the words as he took a step towards me.

Holding him firmly in my gaze, I watched as he moved closer to me but then I could understand what was going on.

Are you kidding me?. What games is he trying to play? Is he trying to say he doesn't recognize me.Even if he doesn't recognize me, I don't want to believe that whatever happened the other night could be forgotten so easily.

Standing in front of me,he lifted a hand and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. I flinched.

Upon his touch, my skin crawled with spark of dreads ,and every nerve in my body seemed to shrink.I could feel my muscles set off on fire.I felt it, and perherps he felt it too, or maybe even worse.

As I lifted my gaze to him,he froze, rooted to the spot:Fingers on my ears, eyes on my lips.For a moment it felt like time stood still, I could literally hear the thump of my heart inside my head.

“Whats wrong?"Alpha Magnus said, he must have noticed the silence in the room, as he walked towards me and squeezed my jaw with one of his hands, it was clear that he was irritated about something.

I wailed in pains as he squeezed my jaw and lifted my face to him

"It was rather obvious that pains and troubles seemed to be my constant companions, and now I had started to believe or maybe probably wonder if I was ever going to find a way out of this darkness that has begun to paint my life" This was exactly a part of a story Amalia had read to me one of those nights my father had locked me up in my room. Yes! — the book - Nemesis Of Tayla

This whole part didn't just seem like a rare story anymore, it was obviously my story that Amelia was telling.

I cried in pains as I buried my head swiftly. I had tried to hold my head from spinning, but I couldn't, my hands were still chained to the chair. It felt like someone close by had just hit the bell vigorously and loudly. If I was damn right, it sounded exactly like those large ones used in the Dominican church where Ronan and I had gone to pay his mother a visit.

Who was he exactly? No, the question was, Who were they? Was this planned somehow? Did I just hear SON!!? I thought as I fought with the words in my mind.

My heart skipped, my world seized for some moment. All of this came to a pause, as the young man's voice erupted like a volcano. Immediately, there was silence in my head. No, not the room if I was right; It was just like the pause of the violin in a musical presentation by a solo artist.

“Your plaything?”

His son asked, taking a step backward but still looking at my face.

I know that look. Even if I was blind I could definitely see and read his face, he was shocked, yet furious, it seemed like he was baffled as he closed his eyes for some moment before opening them again, I could still see the shock on his face as those eyes opened for the second time, everything seemed to happen really slow as I also couldn't hide the fact that I was shocked as well.

I couldn't shake off the miserable feeling that this was the same man I had a one-night stand with, If anyone had told me that I was going to meet him again, I wouldn't have believed,And now, I had just realized that he is my mate. What was i even saying? I ain't believing this, not a bi.And sadly his father wants to have a share of me

"We are both drunk, I don't want us to do something we might regret"

A flashback of the stranger's word that night caused my heart to stop beating for a few seconds, Those words had begun to taunt me as I stared at the eyes of the young man who stood right in front of me.

“Regret” I muttered

This was actually the right word,

“What on earth connected us that night?, Why was he there at the bar that night?,Why are we fated?

My heart ached as questions flooded my mind, they were rhetorical questions that I obviously didn't have an answer to.

My fear had overshadowed me as I began to regret my actions that night I met this stranger, It was clear and obvious that I was punished by the Moon goddess for fleeing from my father and the pack.

Tears formed a ball in my eyes knowing that I had a one-night stand with the son of my father's enemy, and I'm obviously going to be a sex tool for his greedy father as well.At this point I still didn't want to believe nor accept that he was my mate.

“Yes Caius, Any problem with that? She is going to be my plaything starting tonight, she should be cleaned up properly, I really can't wait to have her,Even right now”Alpha Magus replied

His son took a deep swallow, His Adam's apple bobbling visibly.
