Chapter 70 - His Heavenly Mate
HEAVEN - LEIGH'S POV
--
The energy flowing through me is powerful , I could tell by the way my nerves were on fire , every fiber of my body felt like it is in overdrive . I could feel everything without touching it , I could feel where Isaac's hand were going to touch me before he even did .
I can feel whenever someone is looking at me , I can feel their breaths breathing into the air , making the air hotter where he breathed .
"Come on ." Grayson drags me from the basement of the cells , the guards dusting themselves off , staring at me wide - eyed .
" I'm sorry ." Is all I could mutter as we walk past them . " Stop it ." I rip my arm out of his tight grasp , spinning to face him .
His gray orbs staring at me with confusion , " Just spit it out !" I demand , my chest heaving as my eyes flick between his .
" Not here ." he grits out as his eyes flick around the basement . " Why ? Because he might hear us ?" I bellow , shaking my head as guilt creeps up his face .
" I am going back with you ." I demand , " I just need to grab clothes ." he glances at me , frowning , " You can't ." , " You aren't the fucking person he tried to kill Grayson , I will deal with him !" I bellow . " He's my pack member ." he shrugs me off and I stare at him agape . " He tried to kill me , me , Grayson , not you ." I grit out and he sighs , " And I will deal with it ." he shrugs , looking at me with those shiny eyes of his , " Don't you trust me ?"
The fuck not .
" I do , but .." , " Then no buts , he won't live Heaven - Leigh . Trying to kill his luna is already a death sentence , but trying to kill my mate , he doesn't live another second and that is why you are going to stay at home until I sort things out ." He insists and I want to argue , but I am already tired of fighting with him . " Fine ." I sigh , giving up since he won't .
" But afterwards , I want to start building houses for your pack members ." I stare at him and I see the slight smile tugging at his lips .
" It's a deal ." he gives my thigh a squeeze .
It's about time we unite as one pack , so that people like Kyle would tremble before thinking of hurting us .
" Unbelievable , he tries to kill me and you are afraid of hurting his feelings ?" I yell , slamming my fists into his chest and he stumbles back .
I could feel his fingers wrapping around my wrist before he tries and I slap it away , glaring at him .
" You don't get to touch me ." I grit out , my eyes flicking pink once more as anger rushes through me . " You don't understand ." he whispers and I stare at him with wide eyes , " Oh really ?" I ask sarcastically , crossing my arms in front of my chest , " You don't love me , I understand that ." I raise my eyebrows in question and he rolls his eyes , " I do love you , but you killed someone he loved ." He deadpans and my face goes blank .
" Who ? His mate ?" I scoff , shaking my head , " I didn't kill anyone except for ..." I freeze as I realize who his mate was .
" Goddess , do you still care about that dead meat ?" I bellow , my hands fisting next to my sides .
" No , but if she had killed you and I was in his shoes , I would do the same ." He mutters and I roll my eyes , " Well then go save him , rip those chains off him and let him out into this world . While you're at it , give him a silver knife , let him kill me while you watch ." I grit out , scoffing before I turn and leave him standing there baffled .
His eyes were wide and I guess I know that he wouldn't do that , but the anger inside me feels so strong , it's controlling me in some way that makes me even angrier .
His voice echoes through my ears as he calls out for me , but my walking pace speeds up until I am running up the stairs and out of the house , inhaling a deep breath before looking around .
Kyle blew up Grayson's house , his mate blew up my life and look at me now , I almost died and came back from the edge pink .
What the hell is up with that ?
It doesn't take Grayson long to find me , his eyes boring into the back of my head as he approaches , " I'm not taking his side , but he is allowed to feel what he feels until he dies , alright ?" He lets out a shaky breath and I nod , " I don't have clothes ." I mutter , changing the subject . " I'll take you back to the Argent pack ." he sighs , his hand rubbing circles on my back and the warmth is relaxing .
His touch instantly calms my racing heart and it feels like I can breathe again .
Grayson's large hand rests on my thigh , his thumb stroking my skin as his grey eyes are fixed on the dull road .
" You don't have any clothes either ." I sigh and he chuckles , " I guess not ." he shrugs and I roll my eyes .
I can't fathom how he is busy laughing , it's not a joke .
" When I drop you off , I have to head back ." he murmurs and my head snaps into his direction , my now pinkish hair flowing over my shoulder to the front .
