Stefan, what are you doing? That voice had been the one to tame his beast, his grandmother's voice, he slowly move from the top of the warrior, and as he heard his grandmother's voice, his wolf shifted back into his human form, and the warriors run as fast as his legs could carry him, Stefan's grandmother looks at him. Are you alright?
He closes his eyes, trying to control his anger.
Is Fiona fine? The mere mention of Fiona's name made him boil and his wolf is going to jump out again. Stefan, control yourself. His grandmother runs his hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him. He lay flat on the grass with his face buried in the floor, as his grandmother, run her hand on his back. Stefan had flashbacks to the party, he had attended earlier, the man he was with was his best friend, Hilton, and he went there to discuss the fact that, he had picked him as his beta.
And he picked that girl to keep him company all because of Fiona, his entire being long for Fiona, that morning he try so hard to control himself, he needed to control the feelings he is bottling inside for her.
He watch how the woman undressed herself getting to the room, she is looking all seductive, she watch his reaction but he seems not move, which is unlike him, his wolf would have been excited and would have loved to eat to his satisfaction, he felt his wolf is hungry but then it seems his wolf is not hungry for this woman in front of him.
He thought maybe if she strip completely then he would have been arousal but he was not, he grabbed her and kissed her hungrily, as his lips pressed against her, yet he felt disgusted, she tasted sour, although he hadn't tasted Fiona's lips, her neck was sweet and something he wants to be the only one tasting. This woman didn't turn him on, didn't make his heart race or his body intensify as Fiona do.
He wasn't getting frustrated while isn't his body reacting to the woman, he pushed her from himself, what thy fuck did Fiona do to him, what did that woman do to him? He pushed the woman from him and made his way out of the party without going back for his friend, he knows it's all a bad idea to go back home to Fiona but he did return, only to see his lady almost marked by that beast he called brother, he pushed from the floor, with force, remembering that Leonid is touching his woman indecently and about to claim her.
Stefan!!! His grandmother called, seeing his nails elongated and half of him almost turning into a wolf, whoever had hurt him, must be dear to him.
I only want to spill his blood, I want to bathe in his blood, pierce my fangs into his shoulder and my claws bury in his tummy, as I empty his intestines on the floor.
His grandmother stare in shock, he try to figure out who Stefan was talking about, she rakes her brain but was not able to figure out the person.
Son, who are you talking about?
Leonid!!! His voice roared, he is furious, he whinnied, and anguish and pure pain were all written on his face. He was to claim her, she is mine, while will he want to claim her?
Who is yours? Is it Fiona? Tell me, is she your mate?
No! She is not my mate, she is the demon that consumes my entire being and riles my wolf, yes, I want to devour her I want to mark her, claiming should be done by me and me alone.
Even if you want to claim her, did she want you to own her? His grandmother asked, his tears dropping. I don't want to get rejected, I can't take it if she rejects me. He falls on his grandmother's shoulder and cries, for years, he has locked his heart, shut his heart from what they call love, he has no idea, of the sudden yearning for a woman, not for pleasure, something that could make him want to live and that woman is not even his.
Hazel, had told herself many times that Stefan feels nothing for his bride, with the act of Stefan, it's confirmed that Stefan is lost in Fiona's eyes and only her, he could think of and only she could own him.
I sat on the bed waiting for Stefan to return that night but he didn't, and he didn't send any of his guards to inform me that he will not return, I know he is not going to return, after all, that happened today, he hurt me, yet I am the one feeling guilty and sad that I have hurt him and he is the one that saves me, I don't know how he did it, all I know that my hurt foot isn't hurting me and the scar will soon disappeared, how is it possible for me to make him trust me
You should know this, I will kill any man that is close to you, I will burn them alive.
Those words of his kept echoing in my head and his action this evening proved his words, just maybe, Leonid is right, I should make him lose his power, I am sure that will make him humble. I know he won't want to see me again, after all, that happened, I could see he felt hurt but why am I the mate of Leonid when I don't love him or feel anything that attracted me to him apart from being his friend? I will have to sleep alone this night again.
He didn't come home that evening and the next day, he still didn't show up, for three days, I didn't see him, I kind of missed him, so I decided to enquire about his whereabouts from one of his guard, that man had always gone everywhere, he goes but I wonder, while he is here and Stefan didn't return.
Excuse me, where is the Alpha? He look at me, he hesitated for a while but then decided to reply to me.
He is at his grandmother's pack.
Which is Hazel's pack? With a clenched tooth I take Hazel's name, he nodded, and I sighed, it was of no use looking for him, he is enjoying himself with his mistress.
If you want, I could take you there. The guard said behind me, do I want to see him, after much contemplation, I nodded, and he help me on the horse as we ride to Hazel's pack.
Arriving at the pack, it's not that far from ours, his grandmother was the one, I met at the Pack entrance.
Good evening ma!
Why are you here? You should be with your mate, not my grandson. I felt stabbed by the heart, even his grandmother hated me, I turned to leave, I want him to tell me that, I want hear it from his mouth that he had rejected me.
Is that what he wants? Did he ask you to tell me that?
Over there at the ranch, you shouldn't be stubborn, if he asked you to leave. His grandmother gestured for me to go to him, and after her words, my heart beat faster, two things were my expectations, he is either going to show me the door, which is rejection or he will let me explain and forgive me. He was feeding his horse. The place is a bit dark, just the light coming from the moon was what gave him light, and he stop, I wonder why he stop but he didn't turn to look at me.
You were gone for three days, so I came to look for you. My words were counted, as I walked to him
Why? He asked still not looking at me, slowly I make my way to his front, even though I was scared of him and his reaction, it was better to try than to always be a coward.
I missed you. Those weren't the words, that were supposed to come out from this mouth of mine but they are out, the deed had already been done
Why?
Fuck!!! What is wrong with him? Do I need to have a reason, to miss him? He grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me closer to himself.
You missed the demon? The devil that steal you away from your beloved Leonid? The evil one that was going to kill your mate right in front of you? Why did you miss me? Do you love me? Are you going to reject your mate and be with me?
