Chapter 21
Mica
If rejecting him would make him let me go, I looked at him and asked, “What’s your full name?”
“Don’t even think about it, Mica,” he said as if warning me. But I didn’t care, I had to get away from him. Nothing is going to happen between us, so there’s no point in dragging this long.
“You’re not going to tell me?” I asked and he kept quiet, so I looked at the omegas, “Tell me your alpha’s full name.” I demanded and there it went again. They look shocked and I start to wonder why. Is it really shocking to ask them?
“You’re not going to tell her anything, leave!” the freak alpha said and the omegas started to walk away after they left me with a look that I didn’t understand. It was as though they were respectful and scared of me at the same time.
“Reeves,” he said, as his eyes were still on mine.
“Yes, Alpha,” his beta replied, and I heard him walk out of the kitchen as well. Then, without a word, I felt myself being lifted and it was so fast that when I finally got back on my feet, we were alone in some kind of an office.
“This is my office,” he said,
“So what? Are you going to make me clean up here too?” I asked angrily. He sighed as he brushed his hair with his fingers and he looked really handsome. No, I shouldn’t think about it, I have to reject him.
“Mica, let’s end this,” he said,
“That’s why I am going to reject you, so tell me your name already.”
“It’s not what I meant, Mica. Can’t you forget about that because I am not going to let you reject me,” he said, which angered me.
“You didn’t want to be rejected? Fine, then reject me.” I said.
“That’s not it too. There would be no rejection. You’re not going to reject me or me with you.”
“You’re a crazy bastard! After what you have done, do you still expect me to accept you? Let’s not think about your kind that I hated. What about the two weeks that I was suffering from the pain because of your infidelity? Now, you're telling me that there will be no rejection that's going to happen? Screw you!”
“I know I was wrong!” he shouted. The nerve, he even has the audacity to yell and shout at me. “And whether you believe it or not, I regret it,” he added in a low voice. “After I finish all the things that I need to do, please give me a chance to show how much I need you, how much I want you and how much I love you. For now, stay, for your safety.”
“I am only safe when I’m away. When I don’t see you, when you and your kind don't exist.” I told him and I saw how much hurt he was. It was all over his face. “You know what I hated more? It’s the fact that there was something in me that cared for you and felt your pain and emotions when I already knew that I shouldn’t. You’re not good for me, every time I see you, I remember how miserable my life was when I thought I already ran away from it.”
“You’re cruel,” he said,
“That’s why you have to let me go. I am not good for you either. I will only become a burden to you when the time comes. Isn't it the reason why you were hiding me from everyone as your mate? Because you are worried that your enemy will get back at you through me?”
“It’s not the solution. You know what, this conversation is not going anywhere. It would be better if you would stay with Hera for the time being so you won’t be able to do anything stupid.” he said with resignation.
“Coward,” I said in a low voice, but because he’s a wolf, he heard it very clearly.
“Yes, I am a coward. And I don’t care if you think of me that way. If that’s the only way that I can keep you safe, so be it. I’d rather be called that way than lose you. You had no idea about how much I wanted to mark you, to make you completely mine. You can say whatever you want to say, but my decision will be the same and that is you will be staying with me, here in the pack. And don’t fu****g tell me about what I did with that female warrior because I already told you that I regretted that action and I am going to make it up to you for the rest of our lives after all my worries were settled.” he said continuously, not giving me a chance to say anything. He’s really arrogant!
Then the door opened and Hera came in, smiling. “We will be sharing the same room from now on,” she said and looked at the freak alpha after. “You can call him Aziz, not just a freak alpha. She added,
“Hera! What did I say about reading everybody’s thoughts?” the freak alpha said in a warning tone.
“Reading thoughts? You can read my mind?” I asked, surprised. Is it even possible?
“Yeah, but not everyone knows it. Only you, Reeves, Carter, Cane, Lottie and, of course, my brother.”
“So you have been reading my mind from the very beginning?” I asked with wide eyes.
“I’m sorry about that, I just want to understand you.”
“And yet you didn’t. What, you tell your brother about me?” I was already mad and she answered defensively,
“Of course not! I don’t have the right. Even if I peek into your thoughts, it doesn’t mean that I am giving myself a right to broadcast everything I found out to everybody. I am not that kind of person.” I sighed in relief and nodded. So the reason why she likes me is because she pities me?
“No, not at all,” she said and I rolled my eyes at her.
“Hera!” the freak alpha said,
“I’m sorry, it’s just a habit, you know. I am alone in the Meadow Pack and no one cares about me after my adoptive parents died and have been an outcast ever since, so reading someone's mind is the only weapon I have to defend myself. When someone tried to bully me, I read his thoughts and found some unpleasant things and announced them in front of everyone. Instant revenge. I told them that I saw him do this and that even though I heard it from his thoughts.”
“And you said you were fine there,” her brother said accusingly. Maybe he thought that she lied to her.
“But I managed to get even so it’s fine,” she replied casually. “Now, I have Mica with me, I now have someone to talk to,” she added. She looked really happy and I almost got swayed by that. She pulled me on the way to the door but before we left the office, I looked at the freak alpha and said, “This doesn’t change a thing, either. I will still try to escape.”
