บททั้งหมดของ Mated To My Tribrid Lycan Mate: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

"You came home lamenting how you didn't mean any of it. Any of the words you told her, nor how you treated her after, you know..." Tabby pointed at my bare tattooed chest. "I don't want to talk about it." I ground out. "Not a surprise," Khalil half shrugged. "You never want to talk about her. The most important person in your life." "Only because it'll yield me nothing by doing so. So buzz off." "You buzz off!" Khalil snarled, hitting his hand on the table. He rarely got angry, rarely called me out on my shit. Heck, he hardly speaks to me about this, or about Baba, because he knows how sensitive I was to those issues. But today, Khalil was angry. And I didn't like it one bit. "You keep hurting yourself and those around you simply because an old man from your past made you believe you don't deserve to be loved. What did this poor woman do to deserve this? Because she's your mate? I've honestly ignored all you did, but this time, this time you crossed a big line, Maverick. One I

Damning, shitfaced, stupid orge of a man! I cursed quietly while Robyn started a very loud explicit monologue in my mind. Before we could discuss how to feel or respond, someone called my name from up ahead."Hey, Sherneil!"I looked up to see Natasha taking long strides towards me. She was dressed in her usual flappy ankara gown, while mine was knee length. As I prefer. She has a wide beautiful smile plastered on her face, the same type of smile I am struggling to learn.This wonderful woman, who is the Queen of Deshtu, is not just a queen but also my closest friend."Sarauniyya," I bowed playfully, as she finally stopped before me."Hey!" She shrieked, pulling me up, "are you trying to draw attention to us?!""Am I?" My lips quivered a bit as I managed a small smile. "Well, I think it is a crime that they aren't recognizing that their amazing queen is here to pick up one of her citizens." I stated simply as I looked around to see if anyone recognized her. Yup. They did and everyone

Sunday was absolutely boring. Although I completed my routine, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I'm empty, that I am missing something. So, I spent most of the day with Ammi. At the same time, I went through the report I had prepared on my research that I will present tomorrow. Hopefully, it will help us with something - perhaps a lead on what is actually going on. Why some of the female wolves are disappearing.I returned to my apartment around 5pm and took a nap. The beeping of my phone, which was laying beside me, woke me up. Groggy and angry at being unexpectedly awoken, I simply turned away and drew the blanket over me even more.Because it was raining. And I never liked the rain.Another beeping sound came, eliciting another groan from me. Unconsciously, I stretched my hand towards the phone, picked it up and saw that it was already 9pm, and that I have ten new text messages.All from the same person. Maverick.A small gasp escaped my lips, as I cussed quietly when I notice

My first impulse was to say no. But that would automatically show him that I cared what he did with his life, or that his actions had hurt me. It all confuses me. So, instead of doing any of that, I did the one thing that I was good at.Masking. Mirroring what I have seen around me."I have only the couch to spare. It will have to do," I grumbled.He grinned down at me with his teeth flashing, and as stupid as my brain is, I was knocked out by his beautiful smile."Do you, by chance, have anything I can change into?""You didn't bring any of your clothes?"He scratched his head and looked away. "I told you I wasn't thinking straight," he answered quietly."And why is that exactly?" I asked, crossing my arms across my chest.He looked like he was going to say something, but then clamped his mouth shut and just smirked at me. "Because I could think of nothing but you. I didn't have enough time to pack, so I'll have to go get some clothes."Great. Really great."My clothes won't fit you.

MAVERICK."So... What did you do?" Khalil asked, resuming his push ups. Sweat glistened and rolled down his thick, hard muscles. On the surface, he looks like a dangerous predator ready to rip one's neck off. But on the inside, he was as soft as a teddy bear. The complete opposite to this dangerous dragon. "What was I supposed to do? I left." I grumbled, rubbing my tired eyes.I had left Sherneil two hours ago and it was still early morning. While I'm exhausted, I still couldn't actually sleep. The same way I couldn't sleep last night. All I could think of, all I could feel, was her and her scent enveloping me. It was a complete disaster.I left her apartment as early as I could and booked a hotel room because I wasn't ready to face my brother and his wife just yet. I needed to get myself together before I faced them, or else they would shower me with questions. Questions that I don't have the answers to at this time.The thought that she had been able to push me into coming back to
