Chapter 75 Chapter 75
I stormed to them and pulled the lady from Keegan. I had no business with her, so I glared at him instead.
"Seriously? Is this the best you can do?" I asked and he frowned as well. "I agree I left for a while, but do you have to stoop so low to other women to get back at me?" My blood was literally on fire at the moment.
"What? Are you jealous?" His frown transformed into a smirk.
His nonchalant attitude raised my fury beyond limit, my body was vibrating from the heat of infuriation. " Jealous?" I scoffed. "Do you think I'm stupid? I feel like slapping you right now, but of course, you're the Alpha. Who am I even kidding? You can do what you want, right?" I let out a mirthless laugh.
"What the hell is wrong with this bitch?" one of the women said, three of them had disgust-filled glares directed at me.
"Yeah, who the fuck is she to interrupt us?" The lady that was kissing him said and suddenly pushed me backwards. The force at which she pushed me made me fall backwards and draw people's attention to us
Keegan's frown returned as he rose to his feet. Before he could hold the woman, I stood up and grabbed her by her hair to send a hard slap across her face before letting go of her.
She held her face and gasped, barging to me. As she tried to grab me to hit me, Keegan held her back and pulled her away from me. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" he spat at her.
I didn't want to be around them anymore and the attention I was getting was irritating. I turned around and sprinted out, ignoring Keegan calling for me.
I headed in a different direction than we arrived, walking really fast in high hopes that I just left here. I felt so heartbroken. I knew this relationship was only an act, but it hurt me that he could still cheat on me in the act. Not like I wanted anything serious, but if I actually wanted him to be my mate, was this how he was going to embarrass me by cheating on me? If I wanted to act like his Luna to get revenge, was this how my life was going to be a living hell till my family members helped me out with carrying out revenge on him? This made so sense at all. Why the hell was I even mad? It pissed me off that I was furious at such a stupid relationship that was only fake.
Speaking of my family members, I still hadn't gotten the chance to speak with Freya again. I badly wanted to meet them, especially after the terrible nightmare I had of the scene of Jess being killed.
For the next few minutes, I continued walking fast, trying to go through different corners to make sure he didn't catch up with me.
All I had wanted was to just enjoy being his girlfriend for the vacation and be free from so much stress, but now, I just wanted to go home.
A few minutes passed when a bike suddenly swerved passed me. When I stared at it, I realized it was Keegan's bike, but he didn't notice me.
I hung my head low while holding onto the strap of my purse tight enough.
A few seconds later, the sound of his bike made me lift my head. He had turned around and was heading back. I stared at him, waiting for him to swerve past me again, but he brought the bike to a stop directly in front of me and turned it off, quickly getting rid of the helmet to sprint to me.
"Jane, are you okay? I was so worried something was going to happen to you." He heaved a sigh and pulled me into a hug. "Good thing I could trace your scent and turned back to see you here."
I shook myself out of his hug and started walking away, but of course, he stopped me by grabbing my wrist, pulling me back to him.
"I really apologize for whatever you may think of me. I didn't kiss her."
"Why should I care? I'm just an omega that shouldn't meddle with whoever the Alpha kisses or sleeps around with." I added in a frigid tone.
"Don't say that. You should be mad, you're my girlfriend, remember?"
"It changes nothing. The fact still remains that I'm not your girlfriend and you-"
"I swear on the moon goddess that it's not what you think. Why'd I just kiss some random slut for a few minutes of satisfaction and ruin so many things? I agree that I was mad you left me, then I headed to the bar, they walked up to me and tried to seduce me, I refused them and just told them to buy whatever drinks they want regardless of the price. I only wanted to have a normal discussion with them. They were having normal discussion while still trying to flirt with me, then two of them suddenly glanced and each other suspiciously them the brunette kissed me really hard. I was in shock and before I could push her away, you pulled her from me and the drama started." He explained in at once. "Listen Jane, I'm not a scumbag as you may think I am. I'm a man that's faithful to his words. If I said I want you as my girlfriend, then I'll remain faithful to the relationship for as long as it lasts. She isn't as good-looking as you are, no offence to her." He chuckled. "And most importantly, her kiss was terrible. It was way too forced and just made me miss the softness of your lips."
He had sworn on the moon goddess, which was a big thing for every werewolf. He couldn't lie with her name, yet I didn't respond to him, just maintaining eye contact.
"I know I said you were jealous, but that was just to get into your head, I didn't say it because I wanted you to actually be jealous. I was just surprised and glad to know that you actually seemed jealous." He added, yet I still didn't say anything. "Jane, stop this silence. It's killing me inside. Just say something at least, you're making me feel like a crazy man." He begged, but I still didn't know what to say. "I was worried about you and when you left, it felt like I wasn't complete because I couldn't be cherry anymore and I couldn't feel the same way I feel around you.
"To think about it, if you hadn't left me for those men, I wouldn't have met the women, and none of these would have happened, but I still apologize." He sighed and went quiet.
One corner of his lips quirked upwards. "You were obviously so mad, now you can understand how I feel when you're always blushing around everything a man stares at you."
"Why are you saying it like I blush around every man?" I said with a frown.
"So she speaks again?" he chuckled. "And yes, you do, though not every man, but every man that compliments you, you'll be smiling at them like you're interested in him and getting married to them in the next few minutes, and it just isn't fair."
"That's not true. I'm not a bad woman that falls for everyone." I frowned to get rid of the guilt that swam in me.
"I never said you were. What I mean is that, as your boyfriend, it isn't fair that my girlfriend blushes around every man, it's okay, but not in a way that makes them think she's showing interest in their advances."
"is that how it makes me seem?" I creased my eyebrows.
"Well... kind of." He shrugged.
"That's terrible. I didn't really realize it. I have to admit that I like it when men hit on me and shower me with compliments, but I don't want to seem like an easy card to get. I only blush and act nicely because I appreciate their compliments. I wasn't raised to be called beautiful, I was raised to be known as a ugly piece of trash, so it's a new light for me whenever I'm complimented." I tried to clarify myself.
His face became poker while his gaze was still fixed on me like he was lost in his thoughts. "Hello?" I pulled my hand from his grip to snap my fingers in front of him.
"Jane, I'll make sure to compliment you at every chance I get." That was weird and unexpected, but... okay. "I know everyone in the pack house might see you as useless and maybe trash, but I bet some of them are just jealous, because you're the most beautiful woman I've seen in my whole life. Do you want to know a secret?"
I dabbed my eyebrow at him. "What secret?"
"The first time I saw you, I adored how beautiful you locked looked-not any romantic feelings attached because we were both children, but I wondered if the moon goddess had thrown you right from heaven. After that, I didn't see you for a few months because I was up and forced to undergo extensive training. When I saw you again, you still looked very beautiful even in wretched clothes. I never paid attention to it or thought about it that much in these years, but I had it at the back of my mind that you were beautiful. I just knew you as a slave and didn't want to have anything to do with you because you annoyed me; as much as your tremblings made me feel like a dominant Alpha, they pissed me off sometimes. I couldn't stop to wonder how a member of my pack was so terrified of even the tiniest things."
I laughed at that. It felt so strange to listen to his perspective from a different insight. "Long story short, you're extremely gorgeous, expect many people to let you know that and beware of men that flirt with women like you because some men, that's their only purpose in life."
I appreciated how much he admitted that. It made me feel so great, like a special type of queen to know that an Alpha considered me gorgeous. "Thank you. That has just given me a better view of my life." I pulled him into a hug without thinking. He wrapped his arms around me, resting his head on mine. "Thank you too for being understanding and not making things go out of hand.
"Let's head to a nearby restaurant for dinner and tag it as the end of the night."
"Oh yeah, I'm extremely hungry." I pulled away.
"Great," he walked to his bike and threw an helmet to me, not bothering that I could probably miss it ( though I caught it). "Hop on. There's still a lot to view in town."
~ MAE ~
I had made lunch especially for Casper and packed it into a few boxes. The rate at which I was thinking about this man lately was making me feel like I was going crazy, though I loved it.
I shoved the packaged meal into a bag and left for my bedroom to grab my phone. It wasn't in my bedroom, so I left for Crystal's room. After knocking on the door and there was no response, I walked in and found it right on her bed.
As I took my phone, a note slipped from underneath it. I picked it up and noticed it had a black heart behind it.
"What's this?" I wondered but didn't want to seem like I was poking my nose in their business without permission, so I placed it on the nightstand. I was going to ask Crystal about it later. She was my sister and she literally told me everything. We had no secrets between us, so she was going to let me know about it when I asked later.
I left the room with my phone and headed out of the room and to Mason's office.
"Hey bro." I waved at him.
"I'm busy." he replied abruptly, aggressively typing on his laptop.
"Well... I'm not, so..." I pretended to speak to him while trying to check for the list of assigned guards on the table to see where Casper was. "What are you doing?" Being the smart person he was, he caught me.
I sighed and before he could get angry, I confessed, "I was trying to know where Casper is. I want to go to him."
His frown slowly transformed into a smirk. "You crazy crush madness, uh?" He wiggled his eyebrows. "That explains it all. Just so you'd get out of here, I'll help out."
"That's a lie. You're only helping out because you're the best brother-in-law in the world." I grinned.
He rolled his eyes at me then informed me on where Casper was.
"Thank you!" I took my leave and quickly headed out.
So here I was, a few feet away from Casper's assigned position. I waited for the next few minutes till it was their break and another guard took his position. I quickly skipped to him with my heart pounding faster. Though I had added makeup on to make sure I looked good, my palms were still sweaty because I was anxious about whether or not I'd look good enough to him.
"Hi." I waved at him in a high pitch to try to reduce the deepness of my voice.
He had a stern face on but it was replaced with a smile when he glanced at me. "What brings you here?" "I brought lunch for you." I said.
He puckered his forehead at me and squinted his eyes.
"Lunch? That's pretty suspicious." "Uh... y-yes... II wanted... I-"
"Don't get all worked up about it. I'm damn hungry and you must've spent your time helping me grab lunch, so I appreciate it and will eat it."
Did he think I ordered it? I was too nervous to explain that I cooked it, so I grinned at him and we found a spot on one of the town benches and table to sit on while I served him.
"Whoa, this looks delicious." He rubbed his palms together in anticipation.
"Yes, I made it myself " I decided to chip that in.
"That's great!" He took a spoonful to eat and his eyes widened. "This is so great!" he exclaimed and began digging into the food like he hadn't eaten in days, but I understood that his appetite was very large being a male werewolf. Good thing I made extra. He continued eating his lunch then suddenly stopped.
"Oh, I just remembered you requested for us to attend your graduation when you first got here. Has it happened? Did you let me know and I forgot?" "No, it was postponed due to a few issues."
"Oh." He said in relief and it made me grin even more, I was glad he thought I was important enough for him to remember my graduation. "This is literally the best meal I've had. You have to make this for me everyday."
"Sure, I will!"
"Oh, I'm just kidding." He waved a hand over his face.
"You don't have to go through the stress if it's not convenient."
"It's convenient. My work load in the pack isn't that much yet, so I have more than enough time to make you lunch everyday." I was too excited to bother about whether or not there were going to be some days I wasn't going to be able fulfill "That'd be great. It's so cute." 'He considers us cute?!' My wolf, Gift, squeaked in excitement with me.
'You're misinterpreting his sentence.' I chuckled at her.
'Whatever. It's only a few more attempts before he gets rid of every feeling he might have towards Jane.' She celebrated.
I could've felt like a bad friend because I knew that Casper clearly liked Jane, yet I still wanted to end that feeling, but at least she had the good-looking Alpha. It wasn't wrong for me to want a man I knew my feelings towards were genuine and not one of the short-term feelings.
