Chapter 70 Chapter 70) Confronting him.
His eyes widened. “Kira?”. He said, almost not believing that it was her he was seeing standing in front of him.
“It’s really you. What are you doing here?”. He asked her and didn't stop being surprised as he continued to stare at her, while in his mind, he hoped that he wasn't seeing things that were not there.
‘You should have worn a damn shirt’. Kira thought as she tried not to look at him there, because looking at his bare chest made her imaginations grow wild.
If he had such a solid foundation, then what about the Lycan King? She bet his body structure was many times stronger looking and well-built than Dan’s body.
“Let's talk”. She said to him, as she wanted to be finished with him and return to the house, because she didn't want her father to find out that she had left the house.
He was going to ask her questions, and that was what she wanted to avoid.
He was overprotective of her but didn't know what she wanted. That was the fuel that doubled her annoyance towards him.
“You want us to talk? Only both of us?”. Dan asked her.
“Aren't you going to invite me in?”. She coldly said to him and did not answer his question. The only reason she wanted to enter his house was because she did not want anyone seeing her and him together.
They might certainly think that something was going on between them, and with them thinking about something like that, disgusted her to the bones.
“Oh, where are my manners? Please come in”. He said to her and moved out of the way, so that she could come in.
Before Kira entered his house, she looked around and made sure that no one stood somewhere watching them.
‘When will you stop being like this with me?’. Dan thought after noticing the reason behind her action. But still, he did not say anything to her about it and chose to remain quiet.
He closed the door and returned to the living room, where he saw her standing, instead of sitting on one of the sofas and making herself feel at home.
“Why aren't you sitting? You can make my home your-”. He did not finish saying what he wanted to say because Kira cut him off.
“Why did you come to my house this morning? What did you discuss with my father?”. She asked him, and before he could answer any of her questions, she added, “What are you even doing here? Are you not supposed to be at the border guarding our pack from the enemy?”.
Her words were as sharp as a razor which cut a deep part of his heart. Though, he tried to mask his pain with a smile on his face.
“I was allowed a few weeks off from work because of my great contribution”. He replied to her, but his answer sparked a deadly hatred towards him in her heart.
She said, “What about my first two questions? Can you answer them?”.
“I-”. He tried to say something to her, but could not come up with an excuse, no matter how much he thought of one. His mind got stuck, and his silence provoked her.
“Well? Say something, Dan! I don't have all day to be in your damn house! What did you tell my father?!”. She yelled at him as she had lost her patient.
“I met your father to discuss business about the security of our pack's border. And that was all I had talked to him about. Are you satisfied now?”. He asked her, but she remained quiet as she tried to read the expression on his face.
She was trying to understand whether he had told her the truth or the lie.
“Is this all you came here to ask me about?”. He added and asked her.
“Of course. What else did you think I had come here for if not that?”. She coldly replied to him without hesitation, and that hurt him so badly.
He did not get the chance to say anything else to her because she walked past him as she tried to make her way out of his house.
‘No. Stop her’. He heard his wolf's voice, causing him to act.
At the speed of light, he turned to her and grabbed her hand, thus making her stop and stare at him.
“What do you think you are doing right now, Dan?”. She asked him with a frown, before her eyes shifted to the hand that held her hand, and she squeezed her face with disgust.
He had not replied to her, and she forcefully made him let go of her hand.
“Don't you dare repeat this again. You are never allowed to touch me without my permission”. She warned him.
“Can't you love me back?”. These words escaped his lips, leaving her speechless.
After staring at him from his head down to his toes. And after scoffing at him because of his words, she rolled her eyes and harshly said to him, “You must be joking, Dan. I would rather die being single than having anything to do with you”.
“And even if you are the last man on earth, I will still reject you”.
Her words were like daggers, which stabbed his heart.
“Good riddance”. She added, before she turned and left the house, only after opening the door a little bit, took a peek outside the house, and made sure that no one was there staring.
Dan was left all alone in the living room as her sharp words played inside his mind.
‘If he were the last man on earth, she would still reject him’.
His entire body weakened, and he went and sat on the sofa with his head lowered to the ground.
“Why?”. He muttered and clenched his chest, also gritting his teeth.
As he ruffled his hair, he heard a noise which took him aback. At first, he wanted to ignore it, but hearing the same noise the second and third time, made him leave his seat and cautiously made his way to the kitchen, where the noise was coming from.
“Who is it?”. He said as soon as he entered the kitchen. And he was ready to engage in combat with the intruder.
The second after he felt a cold breeze behind him, he turned around but gasped and fell to the ground.
With a shaky finger, he pointed at the figure, and just before he could say anything, the figure launched at him, and he passed out there on the ground, looking lifeless.
