Chapter 21 A wolf in a sheep clothing
" Felix I will see what I have to do.....," Orion glared into Felix's eyes.
" Then okay, but you can leave we cannot take any risk.....," He said.
"Okay, I would not stay here then....," Orion said.
"Wait! What?" Esperanza was oblivious to what was going on.
"You two need to stop....., why are you behaving this way, what happened?" She asked.
"That King will be coming after you and I need to tell you that he is a bad fellow," Orion said.
"I know he was hurting you, but that's a miracle I found you back .....," Orion was saying, and Esperanza had her sentinels completely different from his.
"Wait! What? No..... He did not do anything like this, he wanted me to show the kingdom, and I insisted on it.......," Esperanza's words make him baffled.
" Are you serious? How could he do this? What does he want from you?" Orion said, and Esperanza was so clear about Ezra's image in her mind.
"No.... Orion, that's not what you are thinking, try to understand he is not the bad one, he is the kindest.....," Esperanza said.
" I should go now...., there is something I want to clear out with him......," Esperanza said and got off the bed, but the moment she could walk Orion stood in front of her.
She gasped and stopped here. "Orion what happened to you?" She asked and he looked inmost in her eyes.
" I should not be here....," She tries to cross him.
"Have you fallen in love with him?" Orion asked straight and caught her breath.
" What are you talking about?" She took her step backward.
"Are you messing with me?" Orion asked and got closer to her.
"Orion, why are you getting possessive over me? Ezra is not like this. There is nothing between us," Esperanza said, and Orion gasped.
"This is my right to be possessive over you, do you want any peculiarity on that?" Orion asked.
"I know, but you cannot possess me. I am not your wife or anything," Esperanza said.
"You will become one day, maybe soon," Orion replied.
"You cannot get married to her, she is a human," Felix said.
" I don't care who she is, I just want to spend my life with her," Orion said.
'I have never asked for anything for myself....., she is the one," Orion said and the air around Esperanza got schroching.
" Orion, I have told you before this cannot be; we belong to two different worlds," Esperanza takes down his purpose again.
"I have told you before, and this time again, stop making up things," Orion glared into her eyes, and she rolled her eyes.
"Maybe there is something I want to get to know about myself, and King Ezra can help me to find out about it," Esperanza said.
"Esperanza, you said his name again and you are dead," Orion said.
"He is nothing like you, why are you trying to control me?" Esperanza has an abundance of his cold behavior now she wanted to run from here because she knew the one who could protect her.
"So you know how to talk," he smirked, that was not a playful one, that was the enduring one. He has enough of that attitude he never thought that someone new could take his place.
"Orion.....," Felix glared at him.
"Come outside......," Felix said and left the room, and Orion followed his footsteps.
"What do you want from me? I told you I want her, so what's wrong with you, many of us have human mates......," Orion was explaining to him all.
" You are just being pathetic, can't you see......., she is being stubborn, and you are making her ravenous.....," Felix opened his eyes that only see the intense side of him.
"What do you mean?" Orion asked.
'I mean that the King has taken her trust and her faith....., if you keep being harsh with her then you would never win her......,"
" She is an innocent and naive girl who only sees the good side of people....., if you show your worst side to her, then you will become a villain, not the hero......," Felix said.
' He has conquered her heart and you have immersed her heart with fear,"
"You need to be kind, you need to be calm with her, I know this is arduous for you, but I want your gratification," Felix said.
"Be nice to her," Felix nodded at him and he gave him the straight look.
Orion got to the door and looked back at Felix.
Esperanza was looking around and could not find a way to escape.
"What does he think of himself? I cannot bear his behavior......, I am leaving.....," Esperanza was furious.
" If he were standing in front of me, I would tear his head with this stone......," Esperanza said, and Orion smirked while standing behind her.
"Are you sure.....," He let out and she flinched in horror.
Her heart started pounding and she gasped while gazing at him from head to toe.
"You scared me again.....," she said and rolled her eyes.
"Do I really?" He frowned his brows at her, and not a life before his tone was calm and satisfactory.
"What have you decided?" Esperanza ask.
"Are you letting me go now?" She asked.
"No, I cannot, but I can help you with finding what you are aiming for," Orion said.
"You have changed....," Esperanza predicted.
" What? I changed? How could I change myself?" He asked with a frown.
" You are doing all this to make me calm and to keep me here," Esperanza said.
"No... that's not a thing, you know. I can make you stay here and shackle you, and then you could not leave this place for... forever." Orion said, and her eyes went wide.
"But because I love you, and I adore you, I am giving you this chance," Orion said.
"I will be polite and nice...., no commands, nothing else, you have no idea who you are misunderstanding," Orion said, and she furrowed her brows.
"That man you are trusting blindly has killed numerous people; he is a ruthless king, he is the beast of all time," he wanted to deceive her, and now he is accomplishing it.
"You are lying," she gasped.
"Why would I lie? We live apart from them because they have killed every single species of my breed....," Orion said and Esperanza found tears in his still eyes.
" Trust me ..., he is a wolf in a sheep clothing" Orion said and Esperanza was all shocked.
