Chapter 7 Irresistible
I heard nothing for a while, only felt myself move. He held me close to his chest while his hand was still over my left ear. His heartbeat was music to my ear for a while before he gently placed me in the car.
His eyes scanned my body for a moment and they were soft on me even though that wasn't what I was expecting.
“Be a good girl before I come back,” the intensity of his voice made me nod as fast as I could.
He smiled, a sweet one that seemed to brighten the world for a moment, before he closed the door. His lips moved almost immediately but I couldn't hear what he said.
The next thing I realised was that the doors were locked. When I looked up again, Lucian was racing back to where we came from.
“Where is he going?” I asked the man behind the seats. “And who are those people who kidnapped me?”
“We call them the Forbidden. You should be thankful that the Alpha appeared in time or you would have been their dinner.”
A shiver ran down my spine at the statement.
“Why did you go inside the forest in the first place?” The man was saying. It appears that he was blaming me when, in fact, the only person at fault here is the Alpha.
Why did he keep me here in the first place?
The door opened suddenly, and I got down. I'm back at Lucian’s house again.
I hesitated briefly while my gaze searched around me quickly as if to weigh my options again.
“Don't you even try it. Security is tighter now,” the man warned.
Ignoring him, I walked up the stairs while the man followed from behind.
“This is the way to your room,” the man said suddenly and I let him lead the way.
Within a few minutes, we were back inside the pink room again, with none of my things unturned.
If the man was really right and those people were going to have me as their dinner, did Lucian really save me?
But would I have been in this shoe if it wasn't for him?
I can’t believe I will be confirmed to a mansion at twenty-one.
I slipped to the floor, behind the door, and pulled my legs closer.
Then, previous thoughts penetrated my mind again. I can see my boyfriend cheating on me. I remember my stepfather exchanging words with Lucian about taking me away, then I remembered seeing Susan at Lucian's house.
Unconsciously, tears started to slip out of my eyes.
A sudden knock sounded on the door behind me, triggering me.
“What!” I yelled.
“It's your food,” a soft voice responded.
“And did I say I'm hungry!” I yelled back, angrily.
There was a little hesitation before I heard footsteps receding.
I facepalmed my face and cried the more. I think I'm in big trouble. I'm currently the most miserable woman on earth.
Another knock sounded on the door.
At this point, I had clearly lost it.
Standing up, I pulled the door open, ready to launch my anger at the maid but I was forced to a stop at who was standing in front of me.
“What are you doing here?”
“I need to talk to you,” Susan said softly.
“And what might you have in mind to tell me?” I felt anger start to rise inside of me again. “You were my friends! We've been friends for three years but you were keeping secrets from me? Wait, did you collide with Elias to sell me?”
“No!” Susan said quickly.
Not that I believe her, though.
“So, what are you here for?”
She hesitated briefly. “I just want you to know I didn't take you for granted and it's not what you think at all.”
I regarded her for a moment. She looked stressed and sad, but I refused to believe it was because of me. She has betrayed me too much to trust her.
“Good, I've heard you. You can leave now!” I shut the door in her face.
“Wait, there's something else I need to tell you,” Susan said quickly but I ignored her and instead walked to the bed.
Sitting, I pulled my legs together and tried my best not to lose it again. Susan's betrayal was really killing me.
I have no one now. The truth of the matter hurt me the more. I've never been wanted all my life. I have always tried to belong but that has been unsuccessful.
If I had belonged in the first place, my mother wouldn't be dead right now.
Another soft knock on the door made me lose it totally.
“Who the heck is it again!” I snapped.
The door opened nevertheless, and I mentally swore that if it was Susan, I was going to do something she would regret.
However, the person at the door was the one I wasn't expecting at all.
A smile seemed to curl up at the side of his kissable lips. “Oh, that's not how to talk to your Alpha.”
My heart skipped a beat at his voice, the sound of it.
“What are you doing here?”
He ignored my question which I was grateful for because I know I just asked the most foolish question ever.
He stepped inside fully, allowing me to see his full outfit. He's changed now, and only in a khaki short and a singlet that was revealing his muscular arms and a tiny bit of his abs.
He looked hot, I wouldn't even lie.
“I heard you haven't been a good girl since I left you,” his voice was a lot calmer as he slowly neared me.
As he moved closer, heat from nowhere started to fill me. Was it supposed to feel like that?
“Wait, stop!” I yelled suddenly, out of pressure.
To my surprise, he complied.
I released a sigh. “Move back,” I gestured with my hand.
A teasing smile was suddenly on his face. “Why?”
“Just_”
I was forced to a sudden stop when I suddenly felt him standing behind me. I jumped up and tried to run, but he caught me so easily.
“Not so fast, Bella,” he said in a husky tone.
Heat rushed inside me at our contact. What was happening to me? Was this because he was so hot and handsome?
“I told you something in the car,” he was saying as he released me, letting me breathe in fresh air. Though, it didn't last long as he took his seat beside me.
We were not touching but his closeness was doing to me something I can't explain.
“Do you remember?”
I felt blank all of a sudden. What car? Oh, he told me to be a good girl.
He came over me suddenly and I faltered, falling into the bed and silently praying for the bed to open up and close on me.
A smirk was on his face as he watched me for a moment before he suddenly came down and his lips took mine in.
