Bitter Truths

"I don't trust you," I sit stiffly in the passenger seat of Blaze's black Audi R8, the fast sportscar has me uncomfortably close to him.

When a werewolf chooses to drive rather than run on his own, it's clear that he's just decided to go to a human city.

The car is small, and Blaze's tall frame sits the entire car full, his long legs has his knees up on the sides of his steering wheel. His elbow rests on his thigh, and he's so close that all I can smell is his strong scent and it's like I can feel his eyes on me without him looking at me.

His light scoff makes me turn my head and I glare at him, "I'm serious," My arms cross over my chest, and he glances at me, but not at my eyes, no, his steel blue orbs are staring at my breasts.

"Eyes on the road, Blaze!" | yell at him.

His low chuckle has me rolling my eyes, "It's not my fault that you're flaunting them," he winks.

"Are you flirting with me?" | ask baffled, because in no life time would Blaze Sinclair flirt with me, and the worlds is set right when he answers my question.

"I'm flirting with your boobs Air, not you," the disgust on his face makes me feel calmer, or should I be worried that he's attracted to my breasts?

The silence has clearly made him read me like an open book,

"I'm not going to do anything to you, calm your tits." he snorts, speaking as if touching me would be the last thing he'd do.

"I wouldn't even let you if you tried," I shrug, the fact that Blaze doesn't seem attracted to me, the real me, is soothing. He has no expectations, and there's nothing to live up to.

"Where are we going?" I ask, filling the silence that's suffocating me. I'm not used to quiet, Nicky was always babbling, and so was Monty and it's baffling how compatible they are and the worst part is, I've never noticed until I found them shacking up together. I don't know how I could have been so blind, I don't know how I missed this.

I glance at him, staring at his sharp jaw, I watch as his eyes narrow on the road, "Did you know?" the words slip out of my mouth, and I couldn't stop it.

"About?" He asks confused, but he knows what I'm talking about. He's not sly at all, even if his idiotic brain thinks he is.

"You know what, don't act like a fool." I sneer. His silly act only angers me, and I really don't want to pay attention to him but I can't ignore him because he's bound to get his parents to intervene. I force myself to zone back into the car, and I find myself still looking right at him.

Blaze's broad shoulders sink as he adjusts, sighing as he turns his head and looks right at me.

"I didn't know," his eyes say more than what his mouth does, but even if I ask, he won't say anything more.

building inside of me is starting to take control of my entire body, and I gently lower my hands, running them down and up my thighs. The friction makes my legs hotter, but the fiery vibration coursing through me doesn't fade.

"Friday?" Blaze sounds surprised, and it already answers my question.

"Yes, Friday." I grit out, grabbing the front of his leather seats, my nails digging into the material.

"I was at an event with my parents." His honesty means a lot to me, but I won't ever forgive him for all the year's shit he has given me. He's not a sudden friend, but I'd consider saying that I know him.

I gulp down the lump in my throat, the bitter taste of betrayal dances on my tongue and vile rises.

I honestly thought that Nicky was studying for our last exam the following week, but I should've known that was strange.

"I'm a fu*king idiot," I scoff, irritated with myself when I realized that I said that out loud.

"An idiot? Well I'm sure the valedictorian is the opposite of an idiot." his sarcasm doesn't have any effect on me.

I'm used to his sarcastic remarks, his vile words and name calling, but sitting beside him, watching him drive to Goddess knows where, I feel calm instead of rage, which is what I always felt at the sight of him.

"Look Air, this isn't the time to be morose,",

"Wow," I scoff, smiling slightly, "You know a smart word," I tease, because if I don't, I will cry- and I think that I have cried enough for a lifetime.

"I may not be valedictorian, but I know things." He grins, seeming so proud of himself.

I'm surprised that he knew that word, I always thought that he was laid back and didn't care, I thought he didn't study and didn't care about school, all because he is the Alpha's son, and he doesn't need an education to get where he wants to be.

It's funny how I admire his life, because he just gets handed what he wants, yet I have been working years to escape and now I have nothing left...I have no way out and no money to do so too.

It all sucks, because if I knew this would happen, then I wouldn't have even done anything. I wouldn't have worked my ass off, and I wouldn't have saved a single penny and I would have bought everything my heart desired. My life has been a waste, and I now have nothing left...

No future, no education, no money, no best friend, no boyfriend and no parents.

How ironic is it that I've worked so hard just to end up with nothing?

"Are you crying?" Blaze snorts, his cold tone making me snap out of my thoughts and I realize my vision is blurry.

"No," I turn my head, looking out of the tinted window and I blink the unshed tears away. One thing Blaze will not see, is me crying over his best friend.

"Are we almost there?" I don't dare to look at him.

"Yeah, you see those city lights up front?"

I turn my head, looking in front of me to see nothing but darkness when I feel his fingers gripping my jaw and he turns my head and makes me face him, "Don't cry over Monty, because you lost nothing."

He grits out, staring into my eyes intensely and it makes me feel like he's staring into my soul.

I grind my teeth and slap his hand away, "The last thing I am crying about is Monty, so stop acting like you care." I snap.

The last thing I need is Blaze's false affection and I need him to stop acting like he cares.

I don't know what kind of game he's playing, but I want no part of it.

"I am don't care about you, but I can take you where you want to go." He said with a smirk in his tone.

It was then that I looked up and noticed where we had arrived.

He actually brought me to a bar in the human city the day before the graduation ceremony!

    Days, I've spent days not being able to sleep, eat or even breathe properly, and it's all because she said to never come back.I want to respect her wishes, but four days of no appetite and little to no sleep has been making my patience extremely thin.The light bang on my front door has my eyes rolling as I get up, and I wish my mother would accept my request to be left alone.A sense of numbness falls over me as I open the door and directly look into Monty's eyes, "What's up man?" he taps my arm before sliding into my house.I turn, my gaze following him as he stops in the middle of the foyer, looking around, "Nice place,", he beams, but I still don't speak."Are you okay?" he asks, staring at me with strange wide eyes, "I am fine, what do you want?" My throat is dry as I speak, and it itches."Well I just wanted to talk," he shrugs, "Anything new in your life? Perhaps something old that came back? I don't know," he shrugs, again."I just want to be friends again, so how has life be

    There was no way that I was going to let Blaze control me, or take me back to that horrendous place that I've escaped.I will never go back there, and I am showing him how serious I am."Do it," she grins like he thinks I wouldn't do it, but he has one thing wrong and that is my determination to stay out of that hell hole.I left the pack for a reason, and if he wants to take me back, it's going to be with my corpse.I inhale a steady breath as I dig the knife into my flesh.I bite down on my teeth as it stings, and I could feel the blood trickling down my throat as I slowly drag it across.Blaze's eyes widen, panic filling them and he screams, "Stop!" he storms closer, and I drop my hand, gulping."I'll leave," he mutters breathlessly, and I drop the knife, "Then go," I croak out and he stops in front of me, his eyes flicking between mine, "Are you insane?" he breathes out, his chest rising and falling fast."I told you that I'm not going back," I deadpan and I refrain from feeling a

    I reach for my car handle, tensing when I hear Monty's voice calling out my name, "Blaze, can I catch a ride with you?" he shouts over the lawn, and I roll my eyes, turning to look at him jogging over.Monty's wearing a white shirt with his dark blue jeans, and I just stare until he stops in front of me."Why?" I ask blandly, and his eyes widen, offense written all over his face."I told my parents I'd meet them there...", "Then take your own car, I have errands to run." I deadpan and his eyes narrow as his brows furrow together."Alright," he takes a few steps back, then he smiles, "See you there," he waves goodbye and leaves.I can't let him drive with me, because I have somewhere else to be first.Driving into the city was peaceful until all the traffic started and my blood started to boil.I'm going to be late if I stop at her house first..."Shit," I curse and change direction.

    Walking into the office, I can feel everyone's eyes on me, especially Julie's. She's in love with Ryan, and everyone can see it except for Ryan.He's a sweet man, but he's so oblivious to her affection. She brings him coffee every morning, and not the cheap kind, and I know she's been the one staring daggers at the back of me."Good morning," Ryan slides in beside me, and I ignore the rest as we head to a meeting in the conference room."Hi, Ryan," I beam as he snakes his arm around my back, squeezing me closer to him in a tight hug."Are you ready for it?" he grins, looking nervous and excited at the same time.I didn't plan on coming in this early, but when he called me this morning and told me there was a meeting, I quickly got ready and came in."I don't know what it is," I roll my eyes playfully, and his knowing grin intrigues me.Is he planning something?"Do you?" I ask as I realize his hand is still on my lower back. I stop, and his hand slides to my waist before breaking cont

  • The Ruthless Alpha’s Mate    BLAZE’S POV

    Guilt is what I feel as I finish myself off while sitting across the road from her house, her silhouette was my show and I could see her from afar for once, I could see the waviness of her hair and the shape of her body.Every fibre of my being wants to ring that bell on the gate, but she doesn't want anything to do with me, and she made that very clear.I wish that I could buy her a gift and spoil her, because today she had a milestone, which I'm very proud of, but there's a bigger piece of me wishing that she wasn't so successful.I have waisted hours and large amounts of money getting rid of her face in public photos and videos too, and it's hard work when she's just becoming more famous.I had to buy pictures worth thousands of dollars just to stop the paparazzi from taking the photos they took of her to the news.I have a special detective on her every single day, watching her for her safety, but sometimes it still doesn't feel enough and that's why I drive out here every single

I haven't changed the world, and I'm not even close, but I have changed the world for some people.This morning's case was especially close to home, so I fought for that woman with every ounce of energy I had.Ryan rests his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it as he stares at me with amazement in his eyes, and I recognize that look."Can I go home? It's been a long morning," I sigh, and Ryan looks slightly disappointed, but agrees, "You deserve it," and he's right. I do deserve it, because I have worked on that case for months."I'll see you tomorrow," I smile as I turn to leave.I feel terrible that I didn't stay for the cake I noticed, but I don't want Ryan to think that I'm romantically interested in him like he is in me.I fe
