I saw hurt flash through his eyes but it was gone as soon as it came. I nodded not fully believing his words.
The lift stopped at his floor and the door opened. He stepped out and I followed him. He opened the door of his office and I entered behind him. He closed the door behind us making me tremble in fear.
He sat on the couch in the left side of the room and motioned me to sit down. I sat down on the farthest corner, fidgeting my hands nervously.
“Listen I am sorry about my behavior. I really am. It’s just you shouldn’t have come out then.”
“Well sorry for trying to help you. I thought you were injured.” I said cutting him. “Alpha you don’t have to justify yourself. It is your pack and I am just an outsider. I can understand your behavior towards me. Just forget it please. You don’t have to bother about me.” I said getting up and walking towards the door.
I was about to open the door wh
“I wanted to hold you and comfort you but I ended up ordering you and hurting you more. I felt repulsed of myself. I stormed out and went to my room. ‘No’ I thought ‘this is not right. She should not have such effect on you. I should stay clear of her. Stay away from her. You had a mate. You can’t do this.’ And I blamed you for messing with my head. I saw you many times coming down to the kitchen in the middle of the night. I knew you were having nightmares. I wanted to help but I stopped myself. I thought it was wrong. I knew you were doing the chores when you were supposed to rest. I wanted to tell you to stop working but I stopped myself. Don’t start caring for her. I said to myself. I knew you would go to the lake in the afternoon. I sometimes watched over you.”By the tone of his voice I knew he was troubled.“What if someone hurt you? I kept watching you from distance. Then the day of her death came. I shut my
The door of the lift closed and the whole thing started playing in my head.One day he is shouting at me, glaring at me and making me feel like an unwanted guest and the next day he confesses his love for me. This whole situation is messed up and utterly unbelievable. What is he playing at? Is he telling me the truth or is it some kind of joke?Well the way he was talking, he sounded genuine. I can’t stop myself but feel like something is not right.Why all of a sudden would he want to tell me this now? Does he expect me to just forget everything like it never happened and forgive him just like that, reciprocate his feelings, which I am still doubtful about? I don’t think that can be possible. I never even thought about him that way before nor am I thinking about him romantically now. My emotions are kind of dead for now.Yeah I can forgive him but forgetting everything would not be happening any sooner. Well at least he won’t keep glari
After two rounds to the kitchen the only plates left were at the front of the table were Alpha Daniel was still sitting, looking at me intensely. Well I got to pick them up at some point. I started picking the plates from at least twelve seats down from him. In no time I reached his seat and picked up his plate. I went in the kitchen and dropped the plates there. I returned to the dining room to find Lizzy talking to him in hushed voices.As soon as she saw me, she smiled at me and started picking the plates from the other end, twelve seats down from him. Adrian was going in the kitchen to put the last of the knives and spoons in the kitchen. I picked the plates next to his seat and was about to pick the next when his hand closed on mine. I looked at him surprised and he let go.“Did I do something wrong?” He asked in hushed voice.“What?”That caught me off guard.“You are ignoring me.” He said looking like an i
Pin drop silence, that’s all there is left in the room after his ‘declaration’. I am standing in his arms all wide eyed and in shock. I think I just lost my motor skills. I didn’t know he was actually serious about what he said. I took a deep breath in and tried to pry his hands off of my body but he tightened his arms even more.I heard someone gasp. I turned my head to the left to find the source to find Lizzy, with her hand on her mouth. The shock quickly subsided though and she gave me a triumphant smirk. I scowled at her. Traitor. Shouldn’t she be helping me out of this situation?I huffed and turned my head towards Peter to find him quivering with fear. Poor guy. He was just talking to me and he got the ‘Angry Alpha’ treatment on the very first day. I hope Daniel doesn’t chuck him back in the cell.Daniel was still breathing heavily and I know for sure he is still glaring dangerously at Peter. I saw Adrian at
What happened? Wasn’t I having a nightmare? Did I scream? Why am I in the dining room? There are other people here. What did I do?“Oh thank god.” Lizzy said in relief “Adrian pick her up. I need to check her up real quick. I can’t give her medicines for panic attacks in pregnancy.” She says in a hurry.Panic attack? Wasn’t it a nightmare? I feel fuzzy and tired. Adrian picked me up and started walking in a fast pace in what I think is the direction of the hospital wing. I want to sleep.“Why is she still shaking Liz?” Adrian asked in an alarmed voice.“Just the after effects. Don’t let her sleep though. I need her awake.” She said in an urgent voice.I heard two more footsteps behind us. Who are they? I am too tired to see. I started to close my eyes in exhaustion but was woken by someone violently shaking my head.“Don’t you dare close your eyes.” Adr
“Please don’t leave me.” He pleaded “I never felt this way before, not even about my mate. I…I know I shouldn’t say that but that’s what it is. I am telling the truth. Just give me a chance. I promise I won’t blow it up. I am sorry for earlier. I really am.” My heart was beating erratically. “I know you don’t believe me but you will. I know you will. You make me feel alive again, complete. Just…Please.” He begged.I freed my hands from his. Hurt crossed his eyes. He hung his head. He looked defeated.Shit! I didn’t mean to hurt him.I hugged him without thinking twice, my hands around his neck but my belly came in the way so I was bent awkwardly. I heard him gasp in realization. His hands wound around me and he pulled me on his lap. He buried his nose in my hair.I don’t know why I did this but it felt right. Maybe we are each other’s second chance or maybe n
I woke up to a sleeping Daniel spooning me. I pried his hands off of my body as slowly and gently as possible so he wouldn’t wake up. I pulled the duvet off and climbed of the fluffy cloud known as bed. I picked Daniel’s T-shirt from the floor, courtesy of our activities from last night and wore it. Can’t walk around naked in the house, can we? His T-shirt came almost to my knees so it’s more like a dress. What can I say? He is a giant compared to my short self. I went in the bathroom and freshened up. Hmm I need coffee. I got out of the bathroom and wore my shorts. I quietly padded out of our room and opened the kids’ room to find them sleeping soundly. Well it’s still early in the morning. They won’t be up for a while. I descended the stairs and entered the kitchen. I made my coffee and went in the porch to sit, enjoying the fresh air of the forest and the sunrise. The sun is just starting to peak. If six years ago anyone would
When the twins were almost two, I found out I was pregnant again. I was scared out of my mind to tell Daniel about it. I didn’t know how he would react. I eventually told him after Lizzy threatened me to shout it out in the training field. Well you don’t want to mess with a pregnant hyper hormonal Lizzy. She was two months pregnant at that time. Daniel was so happy, he had a huge grin plastered on his face for next few days and he looked utterly stupid. That did not mean he loved the twins any less. He was just happy to have another child. He did not let me do anything around the house for the entire seven months, which to tell the truth was utterly frustrating sometimes. What are you supposed to do all day to kill the time? I don't have enough patience to weave a sweater if I knew how to but I don't. There is a limit to the extent a person could eat and sleep but Daniel wouldn't budge. Xavi was ecstatic about the upcoming baby but Cece, she was upset that he
