Chapter 28: Scared of me
Lycon Pov
Walking through the forest where everything was silent, I had a moment of peace but my heart still felt stifled. Recalling what had just happened made me realise something which I have been trying to grasp since the day I woke up.
I am not an ordinary person but a powerful one. The rage and power that burst out of me were not something an ordinary wolf could have. I had felt so comfortable and calm in that power but something still felt wrong.
Who am I? And why do the pack members have cold thoughts toward me as if I am the pack’s enemy? And their words flowed in just one direction without revealing anything as if someone had asked them not to let out a word, but from the little I had gathered from them, they detest me.
But…
Am I, Lycon, someone who would allow himself to be abused without fighting back? This show of power will at least keep them in check for a while but to make them continue to fear me and to be able to protect my woman, I have to grow stronger. Even if I don't have a pack of my own, I will make hers mine and help her build it to the finest!
But, I think what I should be worried about is Ignas' thoughts about me at the moment. How I wish I could talk to her through our bond but though we are mates, she still doesn't have my mark so I can't contact or feel her emotions.
“Would she be scared after my outburst? What if she breaks our bond? What if she trusts her pack members and believes I have something against them, what if–” I stopped after hundreds of questions rolled around my head making me helpless.
Suddenly, my eyes shone with something heavy, my fists clenched to my sides as I thought about something, then making my decision, I turned around, walking back to the pack house in large steps.
Sitting all tensed up in Ingas’s room, my eyes fixed on the door as I waited for her to arrive. My heart was beating so fast that I had to take a deep breath. Instead of worrying over it, why don't I confront her, ask questions, that's the solution I decided on after some thinking.
Seeing the door opening after waiting for almost an hour, I sat up and fixed my eyes on the beautiful woman walking in. At first, she looked exhausted but when she set her eyes on me, her eyes widened in shock as she tensed up which made me furrow my brows in displeasure.
“As expected, she is scared of me, but why?” I muttered under my breath. Mates are supposed to love and trust each other but why is our situation so different?
With my gaze on her, I beckoned towards her, “Come here, we need to talk!”
Her eyes trembled on hearing my order, but she still walked towards me which I am glad she did. Standing in front of me, her intoxicating scent filled my nose making my heart tremble, but I calmed myself as this was not the time for that.
Patting the seat next to me, I signalled her with my eyes which she understood as she immediately dropped next to me with her head bowed and her hands placed demurely on her knees.
The room was silent until she broke it, “ What do you want to talk about, lykon?” she asked, her voice calm and indifferent.
I looked deeply at her side profile, then crept closer to her but she shifted back moving away from me making my heart go cold. As if she had just realised what she had done, she raised her head sharply, her mouth parting to say something but swallowed her words back in speechlessness while her hands which were on her laps clenched tightly.
“Are you scared of me, mate?” I asked, calling her by what she is to remind her she is my mate and I would never harm her.
She jolted at my question, “No—”
“No? Ignas… I lose my memories, not my eyes or sense of reasoning! I am your fucking mate and not an enemy! There is supposed to be trust and love between us but it seems I am the only idiot abiding by that, giving you all of my trust, while begging for yours!” interrupting her, I spat out words that had been buried in my heart, stifling me and choking my throat.
Standing up, not caring if she would reject me, I moved closer to her, my eyes burning with lots of emotions, my chest heaving, then I grabbed her hand, drawing her closer to myself. I raised her chin with my finger, then looking into her eyes, I asked, “Why are you scared of me? Just because I got angry and punished a person who had insulted me and worse still, insulted my woman who is their Alpha?!” gasping for air, I continued after calming down,
“Tell me, would you rather I stand there and get insulted or show who i am to them? Ignas, I am not a weak wolf, but a powerful one who can protect you. But it depends on you, so tell me, mate…” pausing, Would I let the words sink in before continuing..
“Why are you sc
ared of me when this is a good situation? ”
