You have changed
1067 Words
I thought his personality would be like those over dominant Alpha, rigidness and arrogance would be part of him. But I am wrong.
While driving back home, he never stops talking, as if he has been waiting for five years to talk to Daisy.
" How is everything? Alpha Angelo said you are yet to recover. How bad was the injury?" He asks, while glancing at me with longing.
I wish I could tell him to stop looking at me like this. I feel guilty that my Wolf loves his attention. He is my sister's fiancé.
" It's alright. I am fine. Don't worry about it!" I respond quietly, trying to make myself as soft as possible.
Daisy wouldn't talk to her own lover with rudeness, right?
However, hearing my answer, he squints at me, as if I've told some jokes.
I ignore his expression, swallowing hard. I can't make him think that I am an imposter.
But to my surprise, he chuckles, his huge figure, that barely fits on the passenger seat, shakes a bit with amusement.
" Did I say something funny? I am alright!" My flustered face burns. What's up with him? He is scaring me already.
" No. You sound like a mature and calm one than you were previously. You look different though. Well, five years is enough to change!" He looks at me with a painful gaze, " I wanted to come as soon as I heard about your accident but your father said you were mentally unstable. As an Alpha, he didn't want to risk! He said my existence might be a threat to your recovery!" His voice comes out so painful that I am stunned.
Did my father say that!? This is cruel. They've already engaged with each other. What's wrong with meeting up? But...
I can't blame Dad either. Daisy's situation isn't good enough. As a parent, he must be worried that this Man who looks at Daisy with such a loving gaze, would leave her the moment the truth is discovered.
" Please forgive Dad. He has been worried about my health. Also, you know... the nature of our wolves. We can't control it when it comes to our chosen partners!"
Noah's painful expression suddenly shifts to that surprised expression as soon as I finish. I don't understand what's happening in his mind but clearly he is acting weird. Am I saying something wrong?
" I see!" He whispers quietly, but his gaze fixated on me,
" Please stop staring at me. You are distracting me from driving!"
He lets a chuckle out, " My Daisy has changed for real. I thought I would surprise you but it seems like you are surprising me!"
He leans closer, hitting my nostrils with his sharp spicy scent, " I love this version of yours more."
The deep, husky voice with a trace of flirtatious tease shakes my entire soul. He has no idea that it's not a new version of Daisy but an entire person who is related to him.
" Please stop talking right now." I purse my lips. This version of Noah Jones is entirely different from the one I met five years ago. Is he this kind of sweet person in front of Daisy only?
" I missed you so much. Let me see you properly." He tucks my hair behind the ear, tracing my jawline and neck. As soon as he tries to touch the base of my neck, I grab his hand, almost yanking it away.
" Please you are distracting -!" My sentence remains incomplete when I notice a car suddenly stopped before my car out of nowhere in the middle of the high road.
" Be careful!" I yells, before taking the brakes. " Are you okay? I told you not to distract me. Did you get hurt? Noah!"
I feel like air being knocked out of my chest. Did I hurt him on the very first day!?
His silence while covering his face grips my soul with terror, " I am sorry! I am sorry! I will get you to the hospital. I am sorry!"
"Pfft!!!"
A peal of laughter from him stops me from starting the engine. He looks at me with that same expression - Amusement.
" Daisy!" His tone changes into a dangerously soft one, grabbing my arm, " I am alright. Thank you!"
" You -!" I snap, feeling frustrated, " How could you act like you were hurt? I almost thought I killed you on the first day!"
He bursts into laughter once again, looking at me like I am some sort of joker, " Gosh! I am glad that I didn't give up on this relationship." His tone shifts into mixed emotions, " I am glad!" It is barely above whisper as he says.
As if he didn't have any hope in this relationship. Did he reconsider his relationship with Daisy? Why? He seems to be in love with her.
" Please sit tight." I mutter, shaking those thoughts. His relationship with Daisy is not my business.
" Don't worry. We are werewolves. We will be fine!" He smirks.
" Yeah. But you have to go through the pain until it heals. Don't take everything lightly. It's not funny!" I said, while driving back to our packhouse.
He nods, closing his eyes. He looks exhausted. Perhaps it has been a big deal for him to stay away from the woman he likes.
Yet, I have to admit that Daisy is lucky to have such a person as her lover. He exudes a powerful Aura around him, letting everyone know his existence without any words. But before her, he is an entire forest.
If only they knew that...
I am his true mate who has been hidden in the pack as the shadow of my sister. Will he accept me if I say that I am his mate?
I don't think so. I don't want to tell anyone either. As long as I keep wearing Daisy's scent, he will never find it out. No matter how much I hated Daisy before the accident, I never wished to see her crying or in pain. If she is happy with him, I am fine with that.
When time comes, Daisy recovers, I will reject him,. leaving no attachment behind. Daisy deserves the best, even Noah as her mate.
