NYLAH
I gulped down the fear and anxiety building within .
What’s the worst that can happen? I shrugged ntally, trying to make the matter a light deal.
’You did nothing wrong Nylah, you only trained with Brian so you can defend yourself and get over the way Xavier treats you.’ I tried to convince myself that I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.
Except that wasn’t what Xavier’s face communicated.
He sat there on the sofa in his lounge, a glass of liquor in his hand as his eyes leered over .
It would’ve been a lot better if he scread at or told what I did wrong than keep standing with a blank expression on his face.
"Are you just going to stand there? Strip and get to work." He ordered, and I was finally able to read his expression.
It was strange to see him feel uncomfortable around . His usual expression was disgusted towards , but I didn’t see any of that. It seed like he didn’t want here, and he wanted at the sa ti.
I was still caught up in my thoughts when his voice thundered. "Have you gone deaf as well? Or have you grown the guts to disobey ?"
A gasp escaped my lips as I made for my zipper but stopped when a thought crossed my mind.
"I won’t do it." My voice was barely above a whisper.
"What?" He asked with an arched brow.
I guess he was hoping I’d swallow my words and continue to peel off my clothes, but I was done, I was done being treated like a puppet for bedroom entertainnt only.
Not only was I not allowed out of the pack, but I was also cut off from my friend and only family; Arianna. And now he’s making a big fuss because I was training to beco stronger in this vicious pack?
One of two things would happen tonight, either I get my answers or he locks up and punishes either by beating or by death. Whichever one it would be, I was ready.
"I won’t do it." I repeated, louder this ti around, my lips pressed into a thin line showing my determination.
He kept his gaze on , not a word or even a sigh left his mouth as he watched with wonder, more like amusent.
I saw it as a sign for to continue, and so I did.
"I won’t do anything you ask to unless you answer my questions. And I have lots of questions to ask." I patted myself ntally for being able to hold myself from stuttering.
That was one hell of a bold step, especially as I had to maintain eye contact.
"You don’t get to ask questions over here, I do the asking, and you do my bidding." He replied, taking more than a sip from his cup like a thirsty wolf.
"I deserve to be heard. I’d done all you’ve asked of from the mont you bought . But what I don’t understand is why you don’t want with anyone in and out of the pack. Both your trusted friends are scolded when he cos close to . Your brother’s the sa thing." I paused when I felt like my voice was going to crack if I said another word.
"Is there sothing you’re not telling ? Am I like a sacrificial lamb or sothing you’re waiting to sacrifice on the next moon?" I asked, my heart beat increased at the thought of it.
Xavier gulped the remaining content of the cup and stood up abruptly, catching by surprise. How can soone be so swift in movent?
He walked close enough to , his face expressionless as always, then he circled , like a predator watching its prey closely.
I wanted to run out of his sight and lounge and out of the pack, but I knew that not only would it be cowardly because before I’d make it past the door, one of the guards there would get a hold of , I knew that it would an I didn’t have enough guts to face him.
Warm air sprayed the back of my neck; a silent notification that he was so close to . I swore ntally when I felt those stupid butterflies in my stomach flutter, and goosebumps erupted on my skin as my senses were filled with his intoxicating cologne
Unsure whether I was going to town able to hold out from his tempting, all the sa, intoxicating presence, I looked at the door, my only access to escape.
"So you are a fierce one after all?" I stopped my ntal calculation on how I was going to escape when I heard his voice.
"You don’t deserve an answer from . But I’m going to give you the answers you seek." I felt strong, warm arms on my shoulder right before he continued.
"I have many enemies out there. Any of them know you are mine and wouldn’t hesitate to hunt you down just to get to . That’s why you don’t leave the pack. I don’t share what’s mine. Not with my closest friend, not with my brother. I only let them off easy because they’re family. I will kill any man that lays a finger on you." He paused
"Do you understand?" He asked as if to make sure I was following.
"Y- yes," I replied, my throat dry from the impact of his presence.
He finally moved from my back and stood before , unsure whether my legs were still working - since they’d been glued to a spot for a while.
And then I felt it, the wetness between my legs.
"Shit," I cursed under my breath. Hearing his calm voice and possessive words must’ve turned on.
"Go back to your room, darling." His words caught off guard.
"Huh?"
"We’re done here for tonight. Besides, you need enough rest to begin your training tomorrow." I was genuinely confused by his words.
He just stated his displeasure in seeing with another male. Did he suddenly approve?
"I thought -" I wanted to remind him of his words, but he cut off.
"You’ll be training with starting tomorrow, so you need enough rest. No one lasts a day training with the Alpha." There was sothing close to a smile on his face.
Sothing I hadn’t seen in... I don’t know, a long ti? Forever?
"Oh." Was all I could say before retreating to my room.
