I had never felt so happy and wanted in my entire life. I now had everything I ever desired; a ho, a family, and most of all, a mate who cared about imnsely even though sotis he tended to go overboard with his overprotectiveness and possessiveness
Luckily, Alaric had allowed to tour around without supervision thrice in a week. Though it wasn’t convenient for but I decided to follow his arrangents to avoid any disputes and also his claim that so people were after my life.
I was only a corner away from Alaric’s company when I felt soone was following . This was not the first ti I had felt so, but now, the person felt so close.
I paused but did not turn around, and as I was about to run, I bumped into sothing hard and almost fell if soone had not held my hand.
Mt breath almost stopped when I saw the person standing in front of . Soone I never thought I would see again in this lifeti.
"Jaxon," I murmured silently, my eyes glued unblinkingly at him. "Why are you here?"
My mind had co to a stop as mories of the past swept into another world. Every laughter, smile, pain, and sorrow I had gone through; the man standing before knew all about it. He was like a shadow that had disappeared in a long, dark night, which I never expected to ever return. But here he was.
I fell into a state of confusion and was only brought back when J felt him engulfing into his embrace. With a soft, surprised gasp, I tried pushing him away gently, but he wouldn’t let go.
"I have missed you so much," Jaxon whispered into my ear, which made go numb for a mont. I stood still and waited till her let go.
"Why are you here?" I asked, taking a step back to avoid anybody contact with him. For so reason, I felt uncomfortable and uneasy, like I was committing a grave mistake, or precisely, I was betraying my mate.
"I... couldn’t help it anymore. I miss you terribly, Ravenna, and want you back. I... Co back with , let’s go ho. I’ll talk to your father and maybe..."
"No!" I interrupted with a stern tone, clearly indicating my displeasure. "My ho is in this city now, and I don’t have a father."
Jaxon tried to hold my hand, but I stepped back with a slight shake. He sighed but did not go and only stared at silently.
"Ravenna, I understand what happened to you was unfair, and you’ve every right to be angry. But everyone misses you. I miss..."
"Stop it." Though I was getting irritated, I kept my cool not to create a scene there. In my mind and whole being, Silver Pack and I had no relation, and never in this lifeti would I go back to that place willingly. Even if the pain of that might have lessened, I still rember how no one stood up for . My father, Jaxon himself, abandoned too, and everyone else I trusted. Only two people tried, but their efforts were all in vain, her elder brother and sister.
"Jaxon, please just leave form here. You and I ended the sa very night you left in the forest after realising I couldn’t shift. And moreover, I already found my mate, and I bet he wouldn’t like hanging out with an ex-fiance."
I knew I had hit the nail when I saw Jaxon stagger a little and hid eyes flicker with emotions. "Mate? How?"
"Even if I could not shift, I still have so werewolf abilities, so I can also feel the mate bond. Maybe soday I’ll also be able to shift and wipe away the curse everyone believed I had been put on. If it happens, I’ll still never step my foot into Silver Pack."
I passed past him walking as fast as my legs could carry , but Jaxon appeared before again. This was the mont I hated not being able to move in a light speed.
"I don’t believe you. You... are just lying... to drive away, right?" I couldn’t miss the desperation in his voice.
"No, I am not. I found my mate, and he’s also a werewolf. Actually, I am going to see him right now, so if you’ll excuse , I’ll get going."
I ran, and luckily, he didn’t stop . I went straight into Alaric’s office, but my mind was still occupied with what had happened. It wasn’t like Silver Pack to allow their mbers to leave the pack unauthorised. So, if Jaxon was here, it ant there was a big reason behind it, and not only that, he had missed as he claid. I took a long sigh and decided to stay out of it. I was not a part of the pack anymore, so his business had nothing to do with .
I stood outside Alaric’s office door for so seconds before going in. Looking around, I could see the person I expected anywhere. It was already past twilight, and he had no eting.
"Did he leave for ho after promising to wait for ?" I asked particularly to no one. "Huh! What a lair!" I was pissed and I turned to leave but bumped into soone. It seed like today wasn’t my day.
Before I could even comprehend what was going on due to the pain on my forehead, my hand was grabbed roughly, and I ended up being thrown to the couch.
"You’ve got so nerve hugging so other man." I heard Alaric murmuring near my face, and my eyes shot open at that mont. So he had not left. "Who is he?"
I went silent for a mont, then blinked my eyes innocently. "Who is who?"
Alaric hissed, rubbing his temple in annoyance. "Don’t play smart with , Ven. Who is he?"
I already knew what he was talking about but decided to tease a little bit. It wasn’t every ti I got this chance, and moreover, he always had the upper hand in everything concerning my life, and so it wouldn’t be bad teasing him a little. I patted myself inwardly and didn’t realize I was grinning foolishly.
"Seems like I have been too lenient on you," he added, staring daggers into my eyes.
Without a word, I hugged his neck and pouted. "I didn’t an to do it, but he was really handso. I couldn’t resist, and so I..."
With every single word that ca out of my mouth, it only made the man’s gloomy face grow darker. What a jealous man.
"Ven!" He groaned in frustration before biting my lip hard but not enough to make bleed. But it wasn’t ti to stop, not yet.
"I tried a lot. I really did, but he... he looked like an angel who had descended straight from heaven and his angelic charm... I just couldn’t say no. I have never seen such a handso..."
I couldn’t complete my words, and he was at it again. Nibbling my lips roughly. "I’ll show you what devil I am today."
He tore my blouse bringing back to reality. But I wouldn’t stop him. It wasn’t every ti Alaric initiated intimacy, and even if he did, he would stop midway and I had to threaten him.
"I want to see what you’ve got," I whispered on his lips then kissed him back.
"My pleasure, sweetheart."
