Scared of him

Chapter 7

    Ariel POV

    I drag Amelie along the hallway, and once we walk into my room, I slam her lightly against the wall, glaring hard at her.

    "What the hell was that, Amelie? What were you doing with the beta?" I ask her, trying not to sound harsh on her, but why the hell would she do something like that?

    "Come on, Ariel... Stop making a mountain out of nothing, ok? That was just a harmless visit," She rolls her eyes as she walks past me and throws herself on my bed, while I stare at her unbelievably.

    "Wow! This bed is so comfortable... I think I should move in here with you soon because you can't be enjoying this luxury alone," She whines as she tosses on the bed while giggling.

    "I asked a question, Amelie. What was that?" I ask her again, and she sighs briefly as she sits up on the bed.

    "It was nothing, Ariel. I missed my way and found myself there," She shrugs sarcastically like what she did isn't a big deal.

    "You and I know that you didn't miss your way, Amelie, so just cut that crap," I snap at her angrily, and she sighs.

    "Can you just calm down? Ok fine, I didn't miss my way, I went there because I wanted to see him. You know I have been crushing on him for so long and I have never had the chance to meet him. I did today, but thanks to you, I couldn't even talk with him," She rambles and rolls her eyes as if I'm joking with her. Why would she even think that I'm joking with her? Does it look like I am? 

    "Why would you do something like that, Amelie?" I snap at her angrily, pissed that she can't even see the reason why I'm trying to protect her. She's just sixteen years old, and although I know she's a werewolf who doesn't need protection at this age, but I'm still scared that someone might hurt her feelings. What if Max finds out about her feelings for him and decides to use it against her? What if he uses her later and dumps her? That will cause her a great harm, which I'm trying to protect now.

    "Why are you always doing this? Ever since you knew who Max was, you have tried everything possible to keep me away from him... Why? Do you have a thing for him?" She snaps at me as she springs up to her feet, and I scoff unbelievably. I can't believe she's saying that to me, but I understand how she feels.

    "All these while, I've only been admiring him from afar and never got the chance to meet him, and today I did meet him and was going to have a word with him, but you showed up and ruined everything. What the hell have I ever done to you?" She yells at me with balls of tears in her eyes.

    "Amelie..." I try to touch her, but she shakes her head and steps away from me as her tears finally stream down her cheeks. If only she knows what I'm trying to protect, then she wouldn't be mad at me, she wouldn't even suspect that I want to take Max away from her. 

    "I have always loved and treated you like my sister, but you're not showing me the same love... Why?" She scoffs as more tears stream down her cheeks.

    "Amelie..."

    "I will leave today, and won't ever come here to look for you. Just a reminder that I won't stop, not until I get my prince charming," She says to me, and without waiting for another second, she pulls the door open and storm out of my room, slamming the door hard behind her and I flinch fearfully.

    "Fuck!" I curse under my breath and hit my hand on the wall. I just made Amelie sad, and it's hard to make it up to her later.

    'Meet me later in the garden when you put the kids to rest' suddenly recalling what the alpha said earlier, I curse under my breath as I pull the door open and storm out of the room. I have forgotten he asked me to meet him later.

    Walking briskly down the verandah minutes later, I take the route that leads to the garden. 

    "Ah!" I stop abruptly, hearing the groan from the room which I quickly recognize to be the alpha's study. 

    "What? What is going on there?" I blink my eyes confusingly, staring at the door.

    "Fuck!" I hear another loud growl, follow by the sound of something crashing against the wall, and I flinch. The voice is undoubtedly alpha Kai's. 

    "Is he okay?" I ask myself, contemplating whether to go in there or go back and see him later. Besides, he asked me to meet him in the garden, so maybe going there to wait for him won't be a bad idea.

    "What if he's hurt? You should go in and check on him," My subconscious mind argues with me, and without thinking twice, I advance toward the door and push it open at once, but I freeze on the spot at the sight that welcomes me. The man standing there is nothing like the gentle alpha Kai I have been seeing all these while, instead, this man looks like a beast. His eyes are as dangerous and scary like that of Lucifer's. I haven't seen Lucifer, and I pray never to see him, but seeing this man gives me the impression that he's even more dangerous than Lucifer.

    "What..." The words get stuck in my throat and my mouth drop open instead as I stare at him in shock. The floor that's littered with broken vases and books isn't a big deal now. He is sweating profusely, every single vein in his body is so visible that I can literally see where they are joined together. Then there comes the strong and dark aura surrounding him. An aura that's strong enough to send anyone to their early grave, an aura that even the devil himself would sit to ask him where he got it from. 

    'Alpha Kai is dangerous' now I'm beginning to understand this phrase. How would someone not develop a heart attack with this look?

    "For... Forgive me, alpha... I... I... I will... I will come... back..." I stutter nervously, my heart beating rapidly against my chest so loud that he will hear the sound of it if he's attentive enough. My legs refuse to move, but I drag them and manage to turn toward the door.

    "Wait!" His deep baritone voice sounds through my ears, bringing me to an abrupt halt as it sends cold shivers down my spine. I think I'm doomed...
