CHAPTER 20

~Avery~

We took me into a room and locked the door behind him before dropping me gently on the bed, his actions were really strange but I was scared to ask him the reason for doing such.

I mean, if he had realized that he has been doing the wrong thing by hurting his mate and had chosen to reveal his Luna on his coronation day, then, it was not a bad idea at all.

I prayed that he would keep up with this whether it was an act or not, I was quite aware that Ashley and Alison must be looking for us but I liked the fact that we were in the same space, it felt different in a good way.

‘’Are you staring at me like that?’’ He asked me with a perked brow and I instantly looked away in embarrassment.

He bent down to stare deep into my eyes and I almost got lost in his green orbs, they were like a charm.

He touched my face gently and I flashed him a weak smile because it made sparks to run through my body, ‘’I asked you a question.’’

I opened my mouth to speak but words did not seem to come out, I did not want to offend him in anyway tonight.

‘’You do know that keeping him quiet would make him even more mad at you.’’ Kira pointed out.

‘’If you want to compliment for how hot I am looking, then, you can go ahead instead of gawking like a creep.’’ He told me with a scowl on his face.

I sucked on a deep breath as I tried to restrict myself from shedding tears because of how heavy my chest was.

Just when I had thought that he changed, he disappointed me by going back to his old self.

One thing for sure, I was not a creep even though, I could not always seem to keep my eyes away from him, he was mine anyways.

I cleared my throat and squeezed the duvet while praying silently that the goddess would keep him from getting angry.

‘’You were nice to me, back there.’’ I finally voiced out.

He scoffed, ‘’Do not let it get into you, in as much as your helplessness irks me, I could not watch you being maltreated by your own blood, that guy is such a dick head.’’

Why was he acting like he was not the same with Liam, even worse?

He squinted his eyes at me, ‘’What did you just mutter?’’

My eyes shone when I realized that I had spoken my thought out loud for the second time tonight and he was definitely not going to spare me.

There was no use lying that I did not say anything of such, he would call me names.

It was the truth that I spoke after all, he has never been good to me except for few occasions where he saved my life.

‘’The truth that was what I said, you and him are the same, the only difference is that you are my mate and we are bind together for life.’’ I stated.

He rushed to where I was and covered my mouth with his palm, making me to shiver in fear.

I had crossed the line and I was going to pay.

‘’Shut your trap! Somebody might have heard that nonsense, just because we are mates, it does not give you the right to speak to me like you are my Luna!’’ He replied me in a very calm tone.

‘’I am nothing like that jerk, you call a brother. You are the reason why I treat like you are nothing to me.’’ He added.

‘’Do you think that I am happy that my mate cannot defend herself in danger? You cannot even fight to save your life.’’

Everything that he said to me entered the right ear and came out of the other, I was too deep in my imagination as he held me closely.

He pulled me out of my fantasy world by pushing me away.

‘’By the way, I told that you should not attend this coronation. What exactly are you trying to prove?! That you want to be there for your Alpha Mate on his big day or you were hoping that I would have a change of heart and announce you as my Luna?’’

He was a mind reader

I wanted to beg him to stop with his harsh words, all I needed from him was his love even if he did not want me to rule alongside with him.

‘’No.’’ I replied him, briefly.

‘’Did you for one second think that one of the reasons why I did not want you to be here was because people like your brother would be present?’’ He questioned me but I kept quiet.

‘’Having you here is going to ruin my night, right now, I am very annoyed with your presence, do you really think that I am going to make you my Luna when you cannot seem to obey me? Alison would never attempt such.’’

He was comparing her to me….

She was always going to be the better option.

‘’Leave before anybody finds out that we are mates, I would not have my father force me to be with someone that I do not have any intentions to be with in the nearest future.’’ He dropped the bomb that shattered my heart into pieces.

He did not have to remind me constantly that I was his unwanted mate.

‘’If you do not leave, I swear to the goddess that I will make Alison, my Luna in front of your very own eyes, this is not a threat, it is a warning.’’ He added before heading out of the room, leaving behind with my tears.

I never wanted to be here in the first place but Ashley would not let me, now, I had been hurt by my brother and my mate, what other humiliation was I going to experience?

From his Luna to be, Alison?

Hell no.

I had to leave this place because my heart could not take it no more or better still, stay in the room till the end of the event.

I knew that he was dead serious with his warning and if Alison became his Luna, she would make me move out of his room because she had every right to.

The funniest part was that, he might not be staying in the school dormitory, he would move to his own pack house and she would to.

It was supposed to be.

There was only one way for him to love me and that was for me to become stronger…

It would not be easy but it would be worth it.
