He sighed and lay on the large sofa, closing his eyes.
I ignored him, remembering what Wyatt said last night. My eyes go to the man lying on the sofa, his hand covering his face.
‘You’re staring,’ he whispered.
‘Oh so, you’re talking to me now,’
‘Excuse me?’
‘Forget it,’ I closed the laptop and sighed, leaning back in my seat.
‘You’re still staring.’
‘Do you want to use me for revenge?’ I go straight to the point. He doesn’t seem surprised. His eyes shot open and he gazed at me.
‘He told you,’
‘You forgot to mention that part when you told me about your mate,’ I retorted. I observed him, waiting for his answer.
‘I wasn’t obligated to, and why should I tell you that, you’re no one to me,’ he said. I knit my eyebrow and smiled sarcastically at him
‘Well, you didn’t think that when you told me how you watched as your father annihilated her,’ I barked, and he growled at me menacingly, his eyes flashing.
‘Watch your fucking mouth,’
‘Watch yours too,’ I growled.
We stared at each other, his eyes glowing and exuding his Alpha aura but I didn’t submit to him, he’s not my Alpha. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration.
‘We were juvenile and ignorant, we did everything to hurt one another because we have always been put against each other,’
‘Are you using me to get retribution on my mate for sleeping with yours?’ I asked again.
‘No, we are not that close and you are definitely not my type,’
I only huffed, trying not to let his words affect me,
‘If I were using you, don’t you think I’d be pursuing you? I’m not because I want nothing to do with you,’
Azriel was upset and he was shaking.
‘Why are you so resentful?’
‘I’m fucking not!’ he yelled.
‘You’re red, and shaking because you’re angry!’ I yelled back.
‘You’re no one to me, Adira, I want nothing to do with you,’ Azriel was glaring at me, his chest rising and falling.
‘Well, I don’t want to be anything to you!’
‘Is that so?’ he stood up, coming to my side.
‘Then why are you always watching me, following me around, why does your heart pound whenever you see me and why were you jealous when I touched Faye? I’m quite vigilant,’ he purred, his face close to me ‘ Do you like me, Adira Wade?’
I chuckled and stared deep into those hazel eyes of his, ‘ You wish. I have no attraction for you whatsoever, and will never. You’re not my type, I like my men in the highest position of power,’ I smirked. It was true, I didn’t have any attraction for him but it was a lie when I said I like men with power, I was just saying it to hurt him and it worked if looks could kill I’d be dead.
‘Yeah, I can tell … Given how quick you were to get on your knees and suck Wyatt’s cock when he threw a little jealous fit yesterday. How …
Wretched,’ he said and I slapped him across the face. I was angry at him for saying that to me.
‘You were watching?’ I whispered, he didn’t deny just pressed his lips together and stared at me with his angry gaze,
‘You pervert, stay away from me,’ I pushed past him and left the office. I was so mad at him, it was a good thing that classes were still ongoing because the students would think me crazy if they saw how I was pacing the halls like a mad woman. I went to the common lounge, and I sat there, still angry until the bell went off. I didn’t even want to go back to that office to get my bag. I didn’t want to bump into Azriel.
I waited at the gate of the school, waiting for Lucas to come out, and soon, he did. I watched him say goodbye to a boy and a girl before coming to me
‘You’re flushed, what happened,’
‘I’m just mad,’ I said, taking his backpack.
‘Who got you angry?’ he asked. I only sighed, not wanting to talk about it. I frowned when I noticed a Cadillac Escalade car not far from us. I remember telling him that we will walk back home.
We approach the driver, and he smiled, holding the door open for us.
‘I told you we’ll walk,’ I said to the driver who held the door open for us.
‘I know but the king sent me to get you,’ he said.
‘Is everything alright?’ I asked, worried.
‘Yes, Ma’am,’
We didn’t go home, instead, the driver took us to a luxury yacht dock.
I got out of the car and a smile spread on my lips when his arms wrapped around me.
‘Missed me today, huh,’ Wyatt asked and I nodded. He kissed my lips and looked at me.
‘I want us to go out on holiday, I took days off,’ he informed and I smiled, kissing him again. I needed this, I needed him.
‘But clothes and-‘
‘Don’t worry about it, I had someone buy you clothes,’ he said and his gaze went to Lucas.
‘Wanna check it out?’
‘Hell, yeah!’ he beamed, running inside the huge yacht.
My mate grabbed my hand and we went in too. The boat was luxurious indeed. ‘ Kayd, Emma!’ I heard Luca call, and I glanced his way; his friends from school were there. I approached them.
‘Hi, guys!’ I waved. Emma smiled at me
‘Hello, Miss Wade,’ she was a polite and very smart girl, while Kayd was clueless half of the time. They were the perfect Trio.
Kayd eyed me up in down in admiration. I groaned and rolled my eyes.
‘Hello, Miss Wade,’ he waved, still smiling.
‘C’mon dude, that’s my sister, this needs to stop already!’ Kayd had a crush on me.
‘I’m glad you are here,’
‘I was excited and surprised when King Wyatt invited us but now I know he wanted friends for the third wheel while you did mate stuff,’ he winked and Emma elbowed him in the sides.
‘Let’s check out the rooms!’ Emma tugged on her friends.
I was staring at the blue sea of water, my heart in turmoil yet I didn’t know what the problem was. I felt his arms surround me and all the earlier emotions I felt vanished in his warm and safe embrace,
‘I love you,’ he suddenly said. I twisted my neck to look him in the eyes,
‘I love you,’
We stayed silent for a while enjoying the time we had together.
‘Are you excited about the blue moon,’
‘Yes, I want my wolf to finally acknowledge you as my mate, maybe I can even shift,’ I beamed, just thinking about it. ‘ And I want to meet your pack or some of it because I know they are so many,’
‘I’ve been wanting to tell you something,’ I sensed hesitation in his tone.
‘What?’
‘It’s um, the parliament-‘ he started but stopped
‘You can tell me, is everything alright?’
‘We are on holiday, let’s not talk about work,’
