Chapter 32

"Stay away from Aryana," I asked him.

He was obviously surprised by my request to him. But I can't take back what I said. I know I'm desperate to make him hate someone else. He should obey me and he should only be chasing me, not that woman. The plan should not be broken, to tame him and play with his feelings.

"What?! Are you serious about what you're saying, Crema?" he asked in disbelief.

"Do I look like I'm joking, Alpha?" I asked him back.

"But why?" he asked.

He let go of hugging me and I faced him. I boldly confronted him about Aryana. I boldly asked him to stay away from that woman.

"Stay away from Aryana or I will stay away from you. You choose, Alpha" I said seriously.

"Crema, how many times do I have to tell you that I don't like that woman? Please believe me," he begged gently.

"I just don't want you to be close to her. I don't want you to talk to her anymore," I answered emphatically.

"Crema, that's not possible. She is Aries' cousin, so it's inevitable that we'll talk, but you don't have to worry because she's going back to his place. But for now, she has to stay here because of the threat of Rogue Dragus and other Rogues,” he explained.

I was shaken by what he said because I wasn't really convinced. But he held my hand and suddenly knelt in front of me. I was surprised by what he did as my eyes widened because I couldn't believe that he knelt in front of me just to please me.

"Please trust me, I only want you, Crema," he said softly.

"Why don't you just accept me as a mate so that we can possess each other freely. We will bond as one, Crema," he convinced me with a smile.

"You will never claim me as your mate!" said my mind.

I immediately let go of his grip on my hand and made him stand up. I heard his sigh and I boldly approached him and crawled my hand on his broad chest.

We stared at each other and his gaze really softened the femininity. But he won't deceive me anymore. Never again!

"You can possess my body if you want, Alpha. Just stay away from Aryana," I said seductively to him.

"I don't want your body, Crema, but You." he replied seriously.

I swallowed my saliva at what he said and felt a strange electricity running through my body. I tried to smile at what he said while suppressing the feeling I didn't want to feel.

"Stay away from Aryana or else I won't change my mind. I will reject you as my mate again and again," I threatened and raised my eyebrows.

He just shrugged his shoulders at what I said. I heard his sigh and nodded towards me.

"So what?" I asked him with raised eyebrows.

"Yes I will," he answered.

"What do you mean?" I asked again.

"I will stay away from Aryana if that's what you want," he answered.

I smiled at what he said and he did the same to me. We were both surprised when we heard Martha coughing behind us.

"Martha," I uttered.

"Ahm, Excuse me, Alpha and Crema. I'm just going to deliver food to the guards," Martha said with a smile as she carried the food tray with food on it.

"Alright, Martha," Alpha Dior answered with a smile, and I smiled at him, too.

I caught Martha's gaze and saw her smiling at us. After she left, Alpha volunteered to take me to my room. While we were walking in the corridor, we talked a lot, but I didn't expect him to ask about my parents, so suddenly my blood warmed.

"Let's not talk about them," I told him.

"Why? Until now you still can't move on from what happened to them?" he asked.

My blood warmed to him even more and I couldn't stop myself from raising my voice. He was very surprised by my reaction because he insisted on knowing about my parents.

"Don't you really understand?!" I shouted at him.

"I said let's not talk about them!" I said firmly.

"I..m sorry. Just calm down, Crema," he apologized calmly.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I immediately said goodbye to him and entered my room.

When I entered my room, I took a deep breath and that's where I released the anger I was feeling.

"How dare he ask me about my parents! He thought maybe he could escape his sin from my family. He will pay because I will make him miserable!" I said angrily to myself.

I couldn't stop the tears from my eyes. I immediately wiped them with my fingers. I shouldn't give in to my emotions, so instead of hiding in this room I decided to go out to the Woundwoods.

From the window I could clearly see the guards guarding the outside of the castle. I thought of a way to get out of the Wound Woods. I wanted to go back to a place where I could be calm even though I knew it was dangerous outside. I had a lot of compassion, I could protect myself.

When I got out of the castle, I quickly ran to my favorite place in the middle of the forest. After a while, I arrived and felt relieved when I saw the beauty of the view, especially the clear water flowing from the surface.

It's almost dark, but I just want to stay in that place. While I was leaning against a big tree, I didn't realize that I fell asleep.

In this place I found my rest in the tiring world. Actually, I'm tired, but I have to fulfill my promise to my parents, especially to myself. I have to finish my mission here before I go back to the human world. The happy memories of Coach Nieves and Daisy are playing in my mind again. They are all I have and I miss them so much. But I have to endure for the justice I seek for my parents.

"He has to pay for everything. I will make sure he suffers. That's a promise mom and dad. I will never be weak" I told myself firmly.

But all of a sudden I imagined his smiles on me so I got very annoyed and scolded myself.

"Stupid! Stop it, Crema!" I said to myself.

A few moments later, I was very surprised when I heard Alpha Dior's voice. I immediately turned around and he was looking at me with a frown. I raised an eyebrow at him and he just shook his head.

"Are you going to be angry again?!" I asked him.

I heard him breathing deeply and he calmly convinced me to go home, but I was still stubborn.

"Let's go back to the castle," he said seriously.

"No, I'm just here. I don't want to go back there, Alpha," I refused.

"Please, Crema," he begged.

"Also please let me stay here first, Alpha" I told him.

"You can stay with me if you want," I added with a smile.

"Hmmm? Don't you want to go with me, Alpha? Do you prefer to be with Aryana?" I asked him.

"It's not like that, Crema" he answered calmly.

I just smiled at him and I convinced him to sit next to me. I knew he couldn't refuse me and I just smiled because it's easy for me to tame him. But what I don't know is why I'm annoyed to think that I'm also in love with he shows even though I know he shouldn't.

"I want to spend the night here with you, Alpha" I said seductively to him while holding his leg and crawling on his thigh but he immediately avoided my hand.

Later on, we heard a noise in the distance and we looked at each other. Immediately, Alpha stood up and confusedly asked me to go back to Woundwoods. But I asked him to stay with me in this place.

"Please let's go back, Crema. I have a strong hunch that something bad is happening in the castle," he said worriedly.

After a while, I was forced to go with him and together we ran quickly back to the castle. But when we got there, my eyes grew bigger at what I saw.

"I neglected my pack!"he said in a loud voice.
