Chapter 48 Arguing
I took a calm breath before I peeked into the slightly cracked door. Standing by his overlarge window, he stared down at the empty fields. His face was plain. His eyes were unfocused as if in thought. The usual I would say.
Where is his shirt?!
His entire upper body was bare, the muscles in his back shifting subtly as he breathed. Broad shoulders, ridges of tension along his spine, and faint scars that caught the light just enough to remind me he wasn’t as untouchable as he liked to pretend. It wasn’t seductive , just… distracting. Annoyingly distracting.
I tugged at the hem of my shirt, grounding myself. I refused to let his theatrics throw me off. I refused to let the sight of his stupidly defined back intimidate me. He might look like every sculptor’s dream, but I wasn’t about to be one of his stunned admirers.
I will not be a victim of this overconfident, bare-chested, theatrically intimidating Alpha.
I will not.
Goddess, give me strength.
"Alpha?" I pulled his attention away from the window.
His eyes widened when they met mine. He seemed almost surprised by my sudden intrusion.
"What do you need?" He quickly questioned.
I was somewhat surprised. His voice. It was not the cold, bare voice that would normally come from him. This one actually seemed....concerned. It seemed like a question that really searched for an answer.
He was probably in a good mood because he just fucked his favourite bitch.
"I'm sorry for interrupting your session with Re—"
I started but his eyes narrowed to those dark blue gems that shielded the windows of his true emotion. His jaw clinched before his hand tightened to a fist. "But I have a question I would like to ask you. I would like to know why I was put on 'Off Limits' by you Alpha", I continued.
"Because I believe that was best." His long, toned legs led him over to his enormous couch in his office, which seemed too comfortable. He picked up his T-shirt.
"Why is that, why did you did you even cut off the females from me?"
"You do not really have any authority to question me." He slipped the teal colored material over his head.
"I know and but still I want to know why. I need to know why...Alpha, you went ahead and stopped me from getting out of your pack" I know carried no real authority to question him but I could not hold back. I needed some answers. I wanted them.
"Do you recall the time when I told you that you will regret why, the moon goddess chose you to be my luna?", He spoke mindlessly as he sat down on his chair.
"This is what I meant, go back to your room and rest", He added.
Anger soared through my blood. My inner wolf was left speechless and almost disappointed by this information. Not wanting to show any emotion to this creature, I held my head up high and forced down the barrier in my throat.
"l am really trying my level best to be the humble sex toy you want, don’t create the beast out of me." I spoke with a stern tone of voice to assure him.....and myself.
He didn’t reply me, he just turned his attention to his work.
''Keep on torturing me but I will finally lose it'', Quickly ending the ridiculous conversation, I turned and left his room.....
The wolf in me was restless as l walked back to my room. I was feeling anger but I decided to play it cool. I wasn’t surprised when I saw Renee come out of his office. I wasn’t surprised to know that he had sex with her. He had a reputation for that. He was well known for sleeping with different bitches.
But currently my wolf was sad and disappointed.
As his mate, at some point I actually believed that I would be something different?, different from his bitches but I was in the same sailing boat as the others. Just a piece of ass. A new one at that. I was the object used when bored with the other toys.
Sad to say, I was just another one of the Alpha's dirty little secrets....
The only difference I have with them is that, the Alpha wants me to give birth to his heir.
''Rot in hell, bastard'', The moment , I reached in my room, I fall on the bed with a loud groan. My intentions were to sleep but everything changed when the door opened out of the blue.
I immediately knew who the hell the person was.
Lyra again....
"Finally, you out of his room, how did everything go with my brother." Her long legs pranced across my room and over to the window before she drew back the material.
"Seriously?", I groaned getting more pissed off.
"Blah blah you did not knock Lyra" She mocked me in a voice that did not resemble mine at all. "
“That’s not even how I sound,” I snapped, pressing my cheek to the cool wall and refusing to look at her.
“Mm-hmm,” she hummed, still parroting me under her breath. “Drama queen.”
“I’m not in the mood,” I muttered. “Get out of my room.” l retorted while turning my head to the other side of the wall.
“No.” She pushed off the wall and strutted to the end of my bed, plopping down with zero shame. “I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what happened.”
I clenched my jaw. “Lyra.”
“What?” she asked, crossing her arms innocently… except her eyes were sparkling with unholy curiosity.
“You’re annoying.”
“And you're deflecting,” she shot back. At this point it felt like we were siblings, always arguing.
"As usual you never feel like doing anything but I think it is best. You're going to sit here and get fat a-and moldy and-"
"Moldy?", I interrupted and anger was evident in my voice this time.
"Look, I did not think the comment through, now change your outfit and come downstairs." She spoke and I just slouched deeper into my fluffy oasis. "Now!", She added.
"Fine." I kicked the cotton sheets from my legs. "If it will get you off my damn back." I knew it that she won’t leave me alone if l don’t accept.
I shoved passed her. My eyes narrowed in on the bubbly blonde head, I dragged my irritated frame into my bathroom....
l didn’t hesitate changing into other clothes, I admired my curves in the white blouse and high waist acid washed jeans before I slipped into my wedges. My nerves a little on the edge, I found myself nibbling on my bottom lip as I put on the stud earrings and a necklace.
Lyra, all so anxious to get me out, stood at my bedroom window as she overlooked the trees. Occasionally, her eyes would shift over to me as her small foot tapped against the floor.
"Will you hurry up?", She started again.
"Oh shut up." I huffed back.
I finally slipped on a bracelet and I dragged myself to the door.....
"Where are you taking me this time?",
