CHOOSE ME (BXB)

CHAPTER 2

“Where do you think you're going?” 

My hands stopped buttoning up my shirt from the sound of his voice. I slowly looked down at my naked Mate. He’s laying on the bed with his eyes still closed, so I thought he was asleep.

“My heat subsided. I better return to work-“

“The visitor is still here. Do not leave this room until he’s gone.” 

“I-I’ll stay in my room-“

“Lucas,” I stiffened when his tone went low once again. Giving me one last warning. “Do not make me lose my patience.” 

I clenched my fist as I glared down at him. He’s golden blond hair was in a mess yet it suits him well in his sleep. This man will always stand out wherever he goes for his beauty won’t fail to call your attention. So strong and powerful...

How unfortunate that he’s mated with someone like me.

That’s why I could never blame him for not accepting me and having her replace my spot next to you.

The door opened and the Lady who shared this room with my Mate stared at me with wide eyes. Her pure blue eyes soon fell on the man laying on the bed before it returned to me with a glare.

She’s a human. Unlike us werewolves, her senses were not strong to smell our mixed scents but she’s not stupid enough to not notice what happened in this room in her absence.

“You-“

“The Master is awake.” I interrupted her before she could ruin her perfect innocent image. Her eyes widened a little before looking back at Daniel. Her small, thin lips formed a thin line.

What a pain… 

If only she would keep her mouth close around me, I will adore how cute she is right now. Since she insults me every single time she can manage when Daniel is not around, I can only see her as a douchebag coated in pastels.

At least I should thank her for saving me right now.

“Daniel…” She called, using her sweet, calm and fake tone to fit her facade.

I rolled my eyes and continued to button my shirt up, since I could see an opportunity to escape right now.

“Daniel, I wanted to sleep too.” 

Blah blah… Whatever…

I ignored how my Mate opened his arms towards the girl with his eyes still closed. My chest clenched from this since he couldn’t even treat me right.

But why am I sulking anyway?

Do I have the rights to? I believe I don’t.

“I’ll be taking my leave then.” I said as I walked towards the door. 

Half of me was asking how come he won’t stop me now when he was just threatening me a while ago to not to leave.

Guess, his time alone with that woman matters more than me being taken away, huh?

This is noted.

I was about to leave completely when my Mate decided to show some concerns again.

“Make sure you’ll stay in your room until that man is gone.” 

I glanced at him from my shoulder and found this annoying, selfish man now sitting on the bed. His woman was under the cover with her arms wrapped on my Mate’s waist, but I should ignore that to save myself from the pain. 

As if I can be saved though.

“I’ll come and visit to see it for myself.” The way his threatening eyes stared at me made me swallow hard in fear. I tried to open my mouth and say something, but fear got the best in me and I left without a word.

As my feet met the hallway floor, I immediately ran away as if my life depended on it. My chest was clenching too tight and it's getting harder to breathe too. I only noticed it once the image of them before I left crossed my mind.

The pain…

My eyes watered up a bit as I clenched my fist on the top of my chest.

How can you ignore this?

I stopped on my track and looked at the window. A tear escaped in the corner of my eyes as I looked at the orange sky. The night is about to come and how annoying that it wasn’t me again who’ll keep you warm tonight.

For how many times did I tell myself that I shouldn’t dream of it because it was impossible. Too impossible for us to get along, but ever since that night you treated me gently…

I realized we could be something amazing if we could only accept each other. Sadly, I’m the only one whose feelings changed after that night.

You stayed stubborn and even arranged your marriage immediately without giving us a chance.

How selfish...

“And now I badly wanted to disappear again.”

Would you call my name with care and love if I have one of my legs buried once again?

I smiled sadly.

“Excuse me.” I immediately looked up at the man who hovered me from the front. The Alpha male from earlier smiled down at me and I stiffened. 

How come I didn't notice him approaching? Was I too accompanied by my thoughts?

Ohh Lucas!

“Were you crying?” He asked and I shook my head, not bothering to put some effort and shed my tears away. I just lied that’s all and who cares? “Lucas, you didn’t change at all.” He chuckled and I stared at him with wide eyes.

“Hi?” He knows me?

“Haha hello.” He chuckled and I raised a brow at him. “You don’t remember me I see.” 

I knew it! Nope, I still don’t remember him, but he does seem familiar in a lot of ways.

I stared at him confused when he put his right hand on his chest and bowed down a bit, keeping that manly smile on his face.

“Rexile Goldsmith.” My jaw dropped when he introduced himself. “Or Rexy for short, I got that nickname from you.” He chuckled as he stood up straight.

I wasn’t able to react immediately since the Rexy I know was only 5 years old when the last time I saw him. He used to come here every single day with Nathy, the Beta of their pack. That was like more than 10 years ago?

“How old are you?” I rudely asked, forgetting the fact that this kid was the only son of Martin Goldsmith, the Alpha of the Blue Flames. Their pack had been protecting ours for a very long time now too.

“I’m eighteen.” He smirked proudly. Showing off his glow up from being a little kid into a handsome, giant teenager. 

And wow, I can’t believe that this kid woke up my heat too. I covered my face in embarrassment after I realized that. I dirtied you and you used to be so innocent too!

Lucas! You are a criminal!

“What’s wrong?” Rexy asked, stepping closer and I peeked at him between my fingers. We stared at each other for a while and I blushed a bit. “You are still as adorable as ever.” He complimented and I gave up holding in from falling in crimson. 

Rexy was  laughing when his huge hand patted my head. Making me notice how big our height gaps were and I’m even older for 4 years.

“So back to the topic, why were you crying?” 

“Can we not?” I frowned at him and he chuckled more.

“Must be something heavy?” 

How stubborn… I thought as I stared at him, blankly while his eyes shone with curiosity.

“I heard you weren’t treated here properly.” I raised a brow.

And where did you hear that? Only Daniel bullies me now. Zoddy stopped ever since Tania passed away. The Luna loves me too!

“Is that why you are crying?” He stepped forward and I adjusted my line of sight for this tall lad.

“No-“

“Wanna come to my pack then?” My eyes widen a bit. “No one will hurt you there so…”

“Excuse me?” My tone went higher than I expected, but that was because I was surprised. Why would I-

‘And now I badly wanted to disappear again.’

“Did you hear me?” I asked and he only answered me with a smile.

“Let’s talk somewhere else.” He smirked.

What did I get myself into?

DANIEL

Lucas. 

‘Was it my fault?’ 

‘Was it my fault that my body wants an Alpha and to be owned by him? you saw him, didn’t you Young Master? Can you blame me if I offer myself to him and let him have his way?’

I slowly opened my eyes and found the moonlight slipping through the windows. My eyes soon fell on the fragile lamb sleeping on my shoulder. 

Clarissa hasn't eaten dinner, I should wake her up. I thought as I stared down at her, admiring how defenseless she is right now and yet I can’t find any motives to have my ways. Unlike to him.

Everytime I looked at him and met his eyes, a strong urge of pushing him down came rushing in me. Every single time and it scares me. Ever since that night, my longings became stronger than before.

Does he feel the same way?

If he does, then why did his heat activate from another Alpha male? Or is it because his wolf gave up on me and now yearning to be claimed, that it doesn’t matter who will…

My chest clenched from that.

If that’s the case, then I rather have him choose that Beta.

Another strike of pain hit me and I decided to step out of the bed. 

Fuck it! Air. I need air...

I heaved a sigh as I pushed my hair back in annoyance. My feet dragged me out of the room, trying to keep my control on hand since it’ll be really bad if I lose it here.

The night has fallen and the cold air feels too much in my skin, but I don’t want to return to the room to get some sweater or something…

So quiet. I looked around in the hallway and found it empty. The dim light bulbs were barely helping, so I adjusted my sight to keep myself from hitting the wall. As my wolf’s eyes took place, I then realized where my feet were taking me.

To where he is, obviously. The small room on the end of the hallway caught my attention and I gave myself a chance to walk away, but why would I? I pocketed my hands as I took steps forward. 

He might be sleeping already…

I’ll just take a peek then I’ll go.

I told myself as I got closer, but the plan immediately changed when I sensed a strong Alpha scent coming from Lucas’s room. Before I could realized, I’m already bursting inside the dark room where I found my Mate already laying on the bed alone.

Alone and yet, why does that Alpha’s scent surrounds the whole room?!

Did he come here? Came here for….

My eyes fell on Lucas, who soon woke up from the danger he sensed from his own mate. He stared at me in fear while I looked down at him in disbelief. My chest tightens so much that it’s about to burst.

“You let him in here?” I asked while tightening my fist in anger. “What did you do?” His eyes immediately widened in shock.

Lucas leaned against the wall as I got closer to his bed. Keeping my anger strong and sensitive.

“You, what did you do?” I asked as I sat on the floor in front of him. His lips formed a thin line and he looked away from me. My eyes widen from that.

No Lucas, don’t you dare look away from me.

A gasp escaped his lips when I stood closer to him to grab his face. His eyes immediately watered up as I did my best to make him feel how angry I am right now.

“Didn’t I just tell you not to step in front of that man again? So why was he here? You let him in?” 

He shivered in fear in front of me. 

“I-I’m sorry-“

“That’s not what I wanted to hear though.” I glared down at him and he tried to moved away from me. I grabbed his wrist and tightened my hold on his face to keep him still.

“Let me go.” He mumbled and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

“Lucas.” I tried one again using my Alpha tone this time so he would answer me honestly. His eyes stared at me in disbelief, but I don’t have a choice. “Why did you let him in? What did you two do in this room, alone?” I asked, keeping my hand firm on his jaw.

He gulped before his lips parted against his will, ready to spill out what he’s hiding from me.

“He wanted to stay a little bit more so he hid in my room.” 

“And?”

“He stayed for about an hour… We talk randomly-“

“About?” His eyes watered up on me and I ignored the guilt of forcing him to speak up.

“He wants me to come with him in his pack.” 

“What?” My blood started to boil from that. That sneaky bastard, he sure wanted to anger me so much.

“A-And I’m going.” My eyes widen. “I’m not important to you right? Then it wouldn’t bother you if I come with him.”

What are you saying?

I could only stare at him, unable to say anything.

You’re leaving me?

His tears fell on my hand which was holding his face, as I tightened my grip.

Tsk

Are you daring me? Did you notice how I changed after that night? And you are doing this to see how I will react, don’t you?

Do you think I’m stupid? That I’ll show you how weak I can be when it comes to you just because you are my mate?

I chuckled as I licked the inside of my cheeks. My eyes darken with pride at him and before I could even think, I said the words that I’ll forever regret.

“Then go.” He furrowed his brows in disbelief from the words I just said. “Once you leave, never return you got it? This pack is better without you here.”

My chest tightened more from my own lies, but I ignored it.

“You don’t belong here anyway.” Pain immediately flashed on his red eyes as I stared down at him coldly. I slowly pulled my hand away from him and left his room without another word.

I’m not important to you, right?

His words echoed in my head as I pushed my hair back. I hurriedly got away from his room. My teeth tighten in jealousy when he chooses someone else once again just like he did when we turned 16.

How about me? Am I not important to you?

Why would I choose you and beg for you to stay? When you had been leaving me alone from the first place?

My eyes warmed up as I closed it, tightly.

Tell me.

Why would I?
