Beta's Witch Mate

Chapter 4

　　Time passed slowly and I was panicking each passing second but still the jerk wasn't back. I was starting to get frustrated, my head hurt and my belly growled in anger.

　　Am starting to wonder if to keep me angry was also necessary, the times I puffed out in anger and stood up, paced then sat back down are very uncountable.

　　With each passing minute was so boring that holding on was so hard and soon I fell a sleep on the couch. I didn't realise how long it had to take until I felt a piercing gaze that made my goosebumps rise.

　　My eyes flew open and landed on a dark abyss that made me suck in a deep breath, why is he this close to me. The urge to run away grew stronger, and when he leaned closer my eyes widened and I internally shuddered.

　　I immediately sat up and shrieked back into the comforting couch as if it would hide me from him, my small actions caught him by shock and something flashed in his eyes.

　　"What are you doing ?" I whispered my voice small but I knew he had it.

　　Before I could figure out what's happening, he sat right next to me on the couch and pulled me on his lap. My heart beat stopped for a minute and my eyes widened.

　　My heart drummed so hard against my ribcage like it was yearning for a way out and my cheeks flushed crimson red. I lifted my gray eyes and blinked up at him, I had an urge to pinch him so that I could make sure that this all wasn't a dream.

　　As far as I remember my mate did hate me so much, there's no reason as to why he would initiate such an intimate move between us.

　　Something smelled so fishy in here but I just couldn't get my hands to it. He leaned forward and his breath fanned my face.

　　My heart jumped to my throat and my lips parted with a gasp, his features up close with the tension in the air I felt like am about to faint any minute from now.

　　I wanted to lower my eyes or close them but I just couldn't look away, the light in room was enough to show how handsome this guy was. His dark eyes held mine and I felt like I was getting pulled to a different world.

　　My breathing heavy and the intensity of his every action, was slowly getting to me. A shiver rushed down my spine when he leaned in more closer to me, it is now that I noticed his eyes are really clouded something dark which made me shudder internally.

　　His face was so close now so were his thin lips, my breathing came out in puffs and my eyes fell shut. My lips trembled and I felt like any minute from now there would be news of me dying because am this close to my own mate.

　　The anticipation didn't last longer because before his lips could touch mine he pulled back, he placed me back on the couch and immediately stood up.

　　My eyes flew open and I just watched him as he started pacing around the room, he tugged on his hair harshly and growled lowly. I stayed silent not knowing what to say as his every action was so fast that it immediately silenced me.

　　He looked like he was having an internal struggle at this moment and what am I to say while I was still recovering from that closeness that we were having earlier.

　　My heart beat wasn't back to normal yet, and before I could relax he was back right in front of me. His face was so close that I could trace his every feature and I gasped in shock.

　　Was this guy so keen on killing me cause if so am afraid it was starting to work.

　　"Do you know the dead's whisper " he questioned, at first it was like I hadn't heard anything but when my mind processed what he had just said I started choking on my own spit.

　　I coughed so hard that tears were rushing out of my eyes, I didn't know if it was a good or bad thing for him to be mentioning this freely cause when it came from him I felt like danger was knocking.

　　It took a me a long time to calm down and this mate didn't even offer me a glass of water, he was really bad. My throat was hurting so badly as I struggled to find the perfect answer.

　　If am to say no then he will know that am lying because every witch out there knows this though it can only be performed by only white witches.

　　I didn't trust this mate that rejected me earlier " yes " I whispered softly and then he looked at me and his lips curled into a smirk.

　　No matter how beautiful it looked, it scared me a bit. He immediately reached and held my chin tightly.

　　"Great, you're going to perform it right now " when those words reached my ears I almost fainted immediately.

　　I looked up in surprise at the man that was have holding my chin tightly, I knew my skin was starting to bruise and I wanted to say something but just couldn't.

　　My eyes only on him as a coldness surfaced within, I maybe soft but with what's going on right now the urge to punch that ugly smirk on his face grew so big.

　　I slowly lowered my eyes and my eyelashes trembled, the grip on my face tightened. I knew he wanted me to keep looking up at him so he could read my every emotion but am not that stupid.

　　"You want me to perform the dead's whisper " I said, my voice shook with emotions and I hoped that my ears were deceiving me though with the current position we're in it's really hard to not believe him.

　　"Yes.. " he answered, his voice cold and quiet making me frown, it's true I didn't hear wrong though am not surprised cause I expected it.

　　"A... Aren't you afraid that as your mate when I lose part of my soul I would never be of use to you " I asked once again.

　　I don't know why I was asking this though am sure he won't change his mind. Never in my life was I was willing to do a devil's whisper cause am sure of how it would push me to deaths door.

　　Simply because my powers haven't developed fully and my soul is still damaged by soul pearl. His hand realized my chin and I immediately looked up with surprise in my eyes.

　　I thought he was filling a bit of pity and is willing to let me until his hand snaked around my neck in a tight grip and I gasped in shock.

　　My wide eyes locked with his dark one and his handsome features showed me that if I don't follow what he wants me to do am good as dead.

　　My heart drummed so hard hard against my chest and tears welled up in my eyes. " Am.. your mate "

　　I whispered hurriedly through a broken voice, my emotions could affect him through the bond but he wasn't reacting at all like my words meant nothing to him.

　　His grip tightened and I felt like the last remaining air was rushing out of my lungs at a high speed, my face flushed and finally fear came.

　　Never in my life would I have ever thoughtful that my own mate would kill me, he stared at me coldly but I didn't have enough energy left to look back at him.

　　From the beginning, he didn't see me as useful and now that he wanted some things from me he was threatening my life. I whimpered like a wounded dog as I decided to surrender to my fate.

　　My breathing became hard and patiently waited for my last breath, I had given up struggling but then the tight hold disappeared and I went into a coughing fit once again.

　　I fell to the floor, gasping for breath like a fish out of water. A minute ago I thought it was all over, the panic I felt now was slowly vanishing but it couldn't keep away my fear in me.

　　My red eyes snapped up when I noticed he had stopped pacing around. He was looking at me with a bit of guilt in his eyes, he looked like he wanted to say something but didn't know how to.

　　His lips parted second he shut them tightly and kept looking at me " we need to get out of here " he suddenly stated while looking everywhere in the room except me.

　　I curiously looked at him, by now my breathing was so normal " hmm " was all I could say. We weren't that much on good terms that he would tell me, the guy was chocking me to death a while ago.

　　" Am sorry " and now my eyes almost popped out of their sockets, he scratched the back of his head nervously as he stared at me.

　　He took a step towards me and I pushed my self back with a shiver that rushed down my spine, seeing my reaction he stopped and stared at me like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

　　And then that look was another shock because he was always so cold to me, he sighed in realisation and turned to look away.

　　"I know you probably hate me but if we don't leave in the next few minutes we're both going to be dead " he added, his deep voice penetrating deep in my mind.

　　"Are you coming with me or not, because if you stay right here you will die in the hands of the Alpha " he replied and I was now more confused.

　　With every passing minute this guy was getting more weirder, should I simply trust him just like that.

　　"I promise as your mate, I won't hurt you " he whispered and I raised an eye brow at him as if saying he was killing me a minute ago.
