Chapter 4: Confrontation

The loud knock on the front door woke me up. 

"Daniels! Open the door!" 

What the heck? Who in their right mind would knock like they wanted to burst the door open the way they knock? I got it my older brother is the beta but what the hell?

Annoyed, I stood up, snatched my robe, and went down to check who it was. I opened the door and was only greeted by the scent that allured me last night and felt my wolf stir again. 

"Mate! Mate!" she whispered, but when she probably realized what happened last night, her spirit died and curled in a ball. 

"You," Alpha Killian said, looking at me like I'm a goddamn piece of meat. His mouth waters and keeps on inhaling, probably my scent. "..are my mate," he continued. 

Killian imprisoned me in his arms and kissed me passionately. As soon as our skin touched, millions of electrifying tingles exploded in my body. Those tingles made their way to where my chest was and gently stirred my sleeping heart. 

Ah…it felt good. It felt like everything between us was perfect. It's like we are meant for each other. The rhythm of our hearts complimenting each other. Our lip-fighting sync made me lose my rational mind as I wrapped my hands around his neck. I don't care anymore. My wolf and I wanted this man so badly. We have been waiting for him to arrive. And now that he is with us, I can't let him go. 

Killian is mine. He is my mate. 

I closed my eyes and immersed myself in the intoxicating pleasure I had had with him. I knew more than anyone else that this feeling would only be experienced with your mate. Ah.. My Killian…

I felt Killian wrap my arms around his neck before he slightly pushed me away for some space between us. 

"T-this is wrong," he said confusedly. 

I can see the confusion between what we did and what he is thinking in his eyes. 

"What's wrong? This has never been wrong," I answered him. My wolf and I united, only this time to wake Killian up. 

"I have a mate, and she's pregnant. I decided to marry her," he told me. 

I'd be lying if what he said didn't sting my heart, but I ignored it. 

"She's not your mate. It is me. My wolf and I are your mates. We were made to be yours, and you are to me. Why are you choosing someone else and not me?" I asked him as my heart started to bleed. 

I could hear my wolf howling in sadness as if she was breaking, too, like me. But I won't let him go without a fight. My wolf and I deserve a mate. We waited so long, and rejection isn't an option for us. 

"I love her…" Killian whispered, and if only I didn't have a sharp sense of hearing, I wouldn't hear what he said. 

I looked at him, swallowing the lump in my throat, a knife starting to cut my heart into pieces. The pain began to be acknowledged by my body, making its presence present at this moment. 

"Love? How can you say you love her when you know she isn't your mate!?" I screamed at him. I don't care if my voice becomes louder, but I need to ask him why? Why? Why did I feel like he was choosing her over me? 

"She carries my baby," he said, not sure. 

Although I'm about to lose this war between us, I have to do my all. I don't want to be rejected and don't care if my principles are thrown away outside the window. I closed the distance between us and cupped his face. 

"I can also give you as many children as you want. Why didn't you wait for me? Why were you in a hurry to have one? Don't you need me? Your mate?" I asked him. "Please don't do this to me," I begged him. 

I saw Killian's Adam's apple move as he swallowed something while looking at me. 

I was about to beg more, but Killian's hungry lips met me. Killian's inhibition probably lost and got himself slave to the tingles he and I can only share. 

"I don't want to reject you," Killian told me, lying on my bed while he combed my hair with his fingers.  

I thought he and I would mate, but thankfully, we stopped it in the middle when Killian remembered that he had already marked Isabelle, and she would feel it if Killian and I did the deed. Killian didn't harm his child. 

"How about Isabelle? And will it happen to us? Are you still going to marry her? " I asked him. 

"No. I will hold the wedding after Isabelle gives birth. In the meantime, I want you to be by my side," he replied, unsure. 

I needed clarification. What is Killian trying to say? 

"What? What do you mean?"

"I want us to be mates, Rain, and we need to hide while Isabelle is still pregnant. I want you only for me. If you agree to my terms, everything will be okay. Do you want to listen?" he asked me again. 

I thought about what he said and decided to listen. 

He plans to buy me an apartment. He told me that I could still do what I normally do. He even told me he'd buy me a car in exchange for me staying out of everyone and keeping it a secret that we were mates. He can only do this for me now.

This term, he said, was too much for me. If I still have my pride with me, I'll refuse it. I wouldn't say I like this idea. Why must we keep it a secret when we are true mates? But since Isabelle is pregnant, I am reconsidering it. He promised he'd leave her for me after she gave birth and introduce me to the whole pack as his mate. I can do it.
