Chapter- 23
“It’s Nash.” She says and breaks in sobs.
“W-What? Nash? But he-he is dating-‘’
“Yes! He’s dating the daughter of Beta force chief Mr. Sully and won’t le-leave her b-because she’s-she’s good for his c-career. He-he is a moron.” My sister says while hiccupping and crying badly.
“Oh! Riles, I am so sorry you had to face that. But don’t worry, I am sure he will realize his mistake.” I try to assure her but even I know right now my words won't really help her at all.
“But if he doesn’t?” she looks afraid which absolutely kills me. that s
CynthiaAge-18“I am trying Cynthia! You need to meet me in the middle.” His hand leaves my elbow but I instantly miss the touch, the connection. My Dad once told me that with your mate you don’t just crave the nearness, you live for it but at that time I didn’t understand him and kept on teasing him for being a doormat for Mom. But now? now I clearly know what he was talking about.“Oh! believe me, I am, I am trying my best.” I bit and raise my eyebrow at him. if we want this mating to work it is really crucial that Aaron understands and appreciates my struggles as well.“Would you like to run with me?” he asks and starts unbuttoning his shirt again, so sure of my answer. But unfortunately, he still doesn’t understand me.“I just had my run, maybe someday else,” I say and turn to do what I have been waiting to do for months. I hear Aaron murmuring something b
CynthiaAge-18I believe every person deserves a second chance but currently, my dilemma is, do they deserve a third chance, or is it fourth. Mr. Langston has struck again and I am again left to re-think my choices with him. currently, I am standing in his kitchen pretending to drink water while he entertains his guests on our date. A date we were supposed to have alone. Is he the inexperienced one in this relationship? Is that it?“Hey! I swear I definitely didn’t know this time.” Mira grovels while rubbing her neck in an apologetic motion. She is wearing a black dress for a change, I wonder if she has someone here to impress. Her hairs are shinier than always too. Hmm at least someone’s enjoying this date-cum-party.“It’s not your fault. And isn’t it strange every time he never gets it and you do?” I simply say and gulp the water for real this time.
CynthiaAge-18Aaron looks confused but nods and follows me to the inside of the building which is a giant tree house.As soon as we reach a reclused spot he holds my hand and drags me toward an empty room. The room is a beauty and looks well looked after like someone lives here. Aaron still lives in Villa with the rest of the royals so who lives here?“Is everything okay Princess?” he looks down at me and asks still frowning. His question distracts me and reminds me why we are here. “Umm, I wanted to ask what is happening?”He looks rather confused at my inquiry but then provides with an answer not satisfactory enough, “What do you mean? We are at a dinner party and I hope you are enjoying yourself. wow! Is he that clue less or am I not clear enough?“I know we are at a party but why? I thought we are going to have dinner alone, like- like a date.” I say feeling a blush
CythiaAge-18“I knew you would be here.” I heard through my sobs.I blinked hard to see clear and found it was my mate, King Aaron. His blue eyes were kind tonight and face sombre. He was standing on the same spot, in fact we were on the same spot where I first told him, told him he was my mate and he laughed it off. That cruel man! Always torturing me, hurting me. and what about you Cynthia? You Masochist!Honestly, I had enough. If I think about what happened today, doesn’t all that proves his point? He was right! We are from two different worlds and I knew that but through my new found feelings for him I had forgotten everything. I knew I love him but may be that love is not strong enough yet! Strong enough to withstand all the cruelty and taunts.“Come out of your head Cynthia!”“Huh?” I shake my head and look toward Aaron who has covered the distance between us and is now standing near
TWO YEARS LATERCynthia Age-20 “I am so sorry Mira, I know you hate me but believe me the class today was like a nightmare and then Andrew called me out of nowhere he was panicking over something. I know you are angry but please take my call. I will beg if you want.” I end the call and sigh. Mira is now one of my closest friends but she can hold a mean grudge. Actually, I don’t blame her either. I stood her up for our language class and couldn’t even inform her until now. The class was before lunch and now it’s almost night. Damn! I shouldn’t have stayed with Andrew to wire out the finances of the café but then it’s my passion. I can’t neglect it. I call her again but again get the voice mail. She’s real
CynthiaAge-20The next day I wake up still feeling a little tired but hurriedly look outside the window to see Aaron’s car gone. He usually never stays but sometimes he does too and I love those nights. I know we don’t stay together but still, I feel safe when he is nearby.“Cynthia, when will you be leaving for your classes today?’’ I hear Zackery ask from behind. I turn to find his eyes focused on the roof. I frown but reply “Umm just in an hour.” He again doesn’t meet my eyes or even looks at me and just nods before leaving the open room on the first story of the house.That is weird but then it clicks. Aaron! I shake my head and a small smile greets my face. That possessive wolf! After Zackery left I get
Aaron K Langston“What is this Mother? Why this charade?” Aaron asked his mother who is currently lounging out in their large royal garden.“What do you mean son?” Her mother Sylvia Langston asked with a raised eye brow as she sipped her coffee.“The grand party, the so called ball. Why is it happening and don’t you think you should have informed me? I was informed by the local tabloids.” He snapped.“Keep your cool dear. I am merely throwing a party to celebrate this island. It’s been so long since we did anything. This other day one of the P.R suggested that we throw one and I liked the idea.” Her mother’s words were clear but Aaron knew she was hiding something which put him on edge.“Is the family attending?” he asked reluctantly. If the family is attending that he might have an idea what this party is about.
Cynthia Age-20 I enter the room and groan seeing a smirking Mira sitting with a large pile of books."What are we doing today?" I ask already feeling tired and sad. I am disappointed that Aaron hid something from me while on the other hand, I have tried my best to make him feel proud. I really hope he has a good reason otherwise we are going to war this time."We are doing history again," Mira announce and laugh at my expression of disgust. When Aaron said I have to learn and become more capable to handle the evil world, the world he faces everything I didn't waste any time and approached Mira. I just knew only she could help me and she hadn't disappointed me. For the last two years, she has been training me to handle all the challenges I will have to face by Aaron's side. "Hey! It's not that bad." She says and picks up a thick book out of the sitting pile." You know it is. "I smile and hug her. "Thank you so much for helping me and understanding why I
