CHAPTER FIVE
LIUCIAN'S P.O.V
"Why do you still stay with a monster like him." I growled, my voice rough with emotion as I started at her. She said nothing and only bit her lower lips and kept her head down.
I let out a shuddering breath, trying to keep my emotions in control.
"Fine then. I guess I'm not needed here."
I slammed the door behind me and quickly got to my car. Only one destination came to mind. To go see my new mate. Hopefully, she doesn't try rejecting me again. It didn't go so well the last time. And hopefully, she doesn't run away from me too. She's beautiful and I want her....I need her. For my sanity.
"Please reject me. I am never going to accept you.
Was this a joke? Why doesn't she want me? I'm every woman's dream. I wanted to say something. Convince her that we can make it work. But no words could come out.
"I'll take my leave now."
"Wait." I stopped her and grabbed her hand.
"What?" She tried to pull her hand out but I held strong.
"Why do you hate me so much? I don't understand it. Shouldn't you be happy to have the next alpha as your mate?"
No one had ever rejected me before.
She wrinkled her nose, as if the idea repulsed her.
"Yeah, that's the thing Lucian. I can't be mates with someone like you who is only a playboy. Who thinks he is a blessing to society and to weak people like me. You carry yourself so high that you forget that we are also humans. And do you think I will like to share my mate with other women? I know you practically have slept with almost all the ladies in the pack. What does that make you? A Casanova, playboy Alpha? I don't want that. Goodbye."
I stared after her, dumbfounded and shocked. Is that what she thought of me? I mean, I've slept with a lot of women but I'm not a playboy. That's just a mask I put on so no one knows my true intentions!
I made no move to call her because I felt so empty and heartbroken at this point. My mate had just given me the reasons why she refused to accept me. And they were valid points to be honest. I never wanted to be seen as a playboy by my own mate. But to me, what I did was only to escape the harsh reality of my life and all the expectations placed on me.
'Yeah? Then tell her that.' My wolf snorted.
"I wish I could, but she might never understand." I answered back.
Maybe I should really give up on her, I mused.
'Don't you dare!' My wolf roared, his hackles already rising, ready to fight me.
"Fine, fine. I was just kidding. I'm never giving up. The moon goddess gave her to me as my mate for a reason. I won't let her go."
Just as I turned to leave, a sense of unease filled me but when I tried to focus. I heard a voice behind me.
I felt a hand wrapped around my waist,I peered down to see who it was.
“Alpha Lucian.” She whispered in a seductive tone before unwrapping her hands.
It was a tall brunette in a blood red dress, she smiled sheepishly and drew closer. I stared at her knowing her face looked somewhat familiar, then again they always did look familiar.
“Can I help you?” I arched my eyebrows.
“You left without saying goodbye last time.” She purred and pressed her hand on my chest.
“That's because I was never supposed to.” I smirked, easily shifting back into my playboy persona.
She blinked, hurt by my statement but she still didn't back down. She smiled widely, her hands moved and roamed around my body.
"Look, lady..."
"Clara." She whispered in a sultry voice.
I smirked. "Yeah, Clara. In as much as I like your attention, I am not in the mood. Maybe later."
"Come on. Its only just for a few minutes." Her red lips spread widely in a smile, her fingers drawing circles on my chest. "Just a few, hot, passionate minutes. You won't regret it." She purred.
I sighed and took her hands off my chest.
"Still not interested, but thanks for the offer."
Her face squeezed and she glared at me, her eyes filled with discontent.
"Fine then." She huffed and swayed off, her butt swinging from side to side.
I looked away and held my chin.
"Now what was I doing again?"
'Its our mate, you idiot!' My wolf screamed out.
Thats it!
Aurora!
Something was happening with my mate.
Like a mad man, I rushed back into the bar, only to see a tall figure standing in front of her, shielding her from the men in front. I had no idea what just happened but I knew I had to protect my mate. At least from the man standing too close to her.
"Step away from her. Aurora, are you okay?" I growled, couldn't help it. I approached her, but the guy in front blocked my way and pulled her behind him. A growl rumbled from my chest, my gums itching from my fangs like they were about to burst out.
"You!" I snarled.
This guy again! He just had to poke his nose in my matters. Again. Why did he come?
"Step. Away. From her." My body was tense and tight as I growled.
He glared back at me, answering in a growl.
"And why should I?" He raised his chin in challenge.
My eyes flicked to Aurora, she was watching me with wide eyes, her head tilted as she glanced between me and the guy.
"Because she is mine you bloody bastard. Now let go of her!"
His face clouded for a bit, then he turned to look at her.
"Is that true? Are you his?"
