Original Heirs

Chapter 8

Hope’s Pov:- 

I placed my hands over his chest and gave him a lit push but he didn’t bulge, “Da-Dakota?” I called but there was no response. My heart was beating rapidly and I was terrified as hell with his closeness. 

When his breath hit my neck a tingling sensation rushed through my entire body letting a small moan out of my lips which surprised me. My lips quivered and I could hear my own heartbeat, oh my god, what is happening to me?

I panicked and tried to push him again, “Dakota!” I pushed again and this time, he stepped back a bit and stared at me, I noticed the anger in his eyes. It confused me, why is he angry? A question popped inside my head, the look on his face made me gulp hard. 

He looked very angry and terrifying, it confused me, I opened my mouth to say something but before I could he grabbed my arm and pulled me to him, making my chest hit his hard chest which let a gasp out of my mouth, he was glaring down at me. I hissed and placed my palm over his and tried to remove it but his grip was hard, “What is your name?” he asked in an angry tone. 

I glanced at him in confusion, “H-Hope,” he continued to glare at me while tightening his hold on my arm, digging his fingers into my skin. Tears began forming in my eyes as the pain got increasing, “Let go,” I hissed and looked at him with my pleading eyes but he continued to glare at me. 

“Why are you doing this to me?” I asked while glancing at him and pulling his hand, “You’re hurting me, Dakota” I whimpered as the pain got increasing.

“Let go of me,” I whimpered letting my tears flow down my cheek and when my eyes met his, all of a sudden, some kind feeling, like a spark, rushed through my body which was overwhelming and I couldn’t understand what it was. An electric jolt flowing through my blood, reaching every part, making the hair on my skin stand up.

Tears were rolling down my eyes but no sound was coming out of my mouth, what is this feeling? I questioned myself although there was no answer to that. His beautiful emerald eyes were staring into my green ones, and all of a sudden he pushed me aside. I stumbled but regained my balance and looked at him shocked. 

He grabbed the knob and pulled it open with all his strength, I watched him walk out leaving me shocked, hurt and confused.  

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath while wiping my tears, “Calm down,” I breathed out. I opened my eyes and walked to the sink while staring at my reflection I opened the tap and splashed the water to my face.   

He has no right to treat me like that! How dare he! Such an asshole. I thought and wiped my face clean. You should stay far away from him, Hope, My subconscious said. A sign escaped my lips, I should have just left the washroom when I saw them, I thought and walked out of there.

I thought he was a good guy when he stopped Axel and Blade’s fight but he proved me wrong. He was no good, he’s an asshole similar to his brother.   

As I made my way to Axel, I saw him talking to someone sitting beside him. I quietly sat down on my chair, as soon as I sat down, Axel turned to me and noticed my state, “Is everything alright?” he asked looking at me with a worried expression on his face. 

“Yeah,” I smiled at him, 

“Hope!” Lana exclaimed while pointing her finger at the bruise on my wrist.

I glanced down at my wrist and saw the red marks on my wrist, and I’m sure my arm may have similar burses too. 

“What happened? Who did this to you?” Axel asked taking my hand in his and examining the red marks. 

“No one,” I replied quickly taking my hand away from him, “Its nothing!” I said while pulling my notebook over. 

“Don’t lie to me, tell me who did that to you?” he asked leaning over and looking at me, I sighed and glanced at him, “I told you, it’s nothing!” I replied and tried to ignore his glare but it was becoming hard by passing second and I gave up. 

“Okay, I will tell,” I said while turning to him. 

“I went to the washroom and saw Dakota and Charlie,” 

“See, I told you they are together now,” Lana said in excitement, 

“Let her talk,” Axel said and glared at her, she huffed at him in response. 

“When I walked in, Charlie came out of the washroom followed by Dakota….” When I finished it Axel was fuming in anger.

“Axel, he didn’t do that intentionally, I was standing in his way,” I said. I don’t understand why I couldn’t tell what actually happened in the washroom, what Dakota actually did to me but I think I know what would happen if I say that to Axel. he will fight with Dakota and I don’t want that, I don’t want anyone to get hurt because of me. 

“Those marks there doesn’t look like that, it’s clear, he hurt you, Hope,” he said angrily, I stared at him not knowing what to do or say to convince him that it was nothing. By the look on his face, it was clear that he wants to fight with Dakota because of this, which sacred me. 

“You are overreacting, I said I’m fine,” I responded in an irritating tone, I want them to leave this topic here for good. This will end up bad if Axel goes on.

“You think I’m overreacting, fine then,” he said while getting up and putting his things back in his backpack. 

“Axel!” he didn’t listen to me and walked away from me. I sighed and pushed my hair back in frustration. 

“Don’t worry, I will talk to him,” Lana said while placing her hand on my shoulder, I smiled at her in response. She got up and followed Axel outside. 

I glanced at the burse and tears rolled in my eyes, I controlled myself not to let them out. I hate him, I hate Dakota. I yelled inside my mind in anger and frustration.

While I placed my things in my bag, I felt someone’s gaze on me, it was so intense that as if burning my back. A shiver ran down my spine and my throat felt dry, I swallowed hard and turned around.
