Chapter 12 Chapter 12
Thalina's POV
"What's happening here?"
I immediately pushed Magnus off of me the moment I heard King Thaddeus' voice.
When I turned my head in his direction I saw his blazing red gaze shifting to me and Magnus.
"Why are you here Magnus?" he firmly asked rage evident in his tone.
"I invited him King Thaddeus," Princess Atasha interjected because Magnus could not even answer the question.
She was smiling as she walked towards us and the moment she got closer she clung her arms to Magnus.
"You rarely visit the palace, Magnus. I haven't seen you for a long time," she sweetly uttered smiling at Magnus who was also smiling at her.
I know I should not feel this anymore but while looking at them I can feel my heart aching. I am still not ready to see him again holding another woman in his arms.
Some part of me still wishes that it was me he was holding just like before.
"Next time you visit don't freely wander around my palace Magnus...and don't ever touch what's mine," King Thaddeus firmly uttered which brought a shiver down my spine because he glanced at me after saying the word mine as if he was talking about me.
Magnus smiled and nodded but the moment King Thaddeus turned his back his smile dropped and his hand balled into a fist.
"I'm sorry about King Thaddeus, Magnus. You know your brother. He was just hot-tempered just don't mind him okay?"
Magnus took a deep breath probably to calm himself. He smiled at Princess Atasha and nodded but different from what he had given to King Thaddeus, this looked genuine.
I felt like an outcast watching them so I held the doorknob planning to step inside my room but Magnus held my hand making me look at him once again.
"What do you want Magnus?" I asked irritation evident in my tone but as I looked at his face longer I felt the rage inside me slowly melting.
I am still weak when it comes to him. His stare still has the power to melt the anger inside me and I hate it.
"I will get you out of this palace. I will bring you back to my territory. To our territory,"
Is he insane?
After all the pain he inflicted he thinks it will be that easy?
He abandoned me and replaced me. He chose Selene over me and humiliated me in front of his pack and now he wants me back like nothing happened?
Completely pissed at his action I forcefully brushed off his hold and bravely met his gaze refusing to let my feelings for him overpower me once again.
"I have no plan of going back to you Magnus. After everything you did do you really think that I will still go back to you? You betrayed me and worse… you abandoned me. You threw me out of your pack as if I meant nothing to you and you will come here like nothing happened? You will claim as if you still own me?"
I don't want to cry in front of him. I refused to shed tears because I had cried enough but I couldn't stop my tears from falling.
No matter how hard I try to suppress my tears they ended up falling on my eyes but I didn't look away. I still bravely met his gaze.
"King Thaddeus owns me now and no matter how hard you try you cannot take me from him. Go back to Selene and rule your pack with her. Have a child with her because I will never go back. I refused to go back,"
I didn't wait for his response or even excused myself to Princess Atasha.
I stepped inside my room and locked my door. The moment Magnus was out of my sight I covered my mouth refusing to let my sobs be heard.
I leaned my back against the door for support because my knees can no longer support my weight and I know any minute from now I would end up falling.
I let my back slide against the door and the moment I sit on the floor I hug my knees tightly and let my tears fall freely from my eyes.
I feel like I was running out of breath. My chest feels heavy as if I am carrying thousands of pounds.
It took me an hour to finally recover and when the tears stopped falling from my eyes I stood up and fixed my disheveled hair.
I checked myself in the mirror. My eyes are swollen so I guess I will just stay in my room until dinner.
That was my plan but I guess that won't happen because after a while the door swung open and revealed the man I had no plan of seeing especially in this state.
"Are you done crying?" he asked as he started walking towards me.
I can feel my heart racing as he got closer and closer and the moment he closed the gap between us I felt something inside me building up again.
He held my chin and made me look straight into his eyes...those alluring eyes that always left me drowning.
"Aren't you tired of crying over that asshole Thalina?" he asked.
I am. Of course I am.
I am tired of crying over Magnus. He was the one who betrayed me but why am I the one suffering?
"I am," I admitted my voice ended up breaking and tears started forming on the corner of my eyes again and before I could even suppress it, it ended up falling like a waterfall but I didn't see judgment in his eyes instead he wiped off my tears.
"I will help you forget about him. I will make sure you won't shed any tears for that asshole again,"
Before I could even respond he claimed my lips like a hungry animal that hasn't been fed.
I encircled my arms on his nape and started responding to his kisses but he broke off leaving me hanging once again.
"But you have to beg first Thalina," he commanded with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Kneel and I will make sure you won't ever think of Magnus again,"
