Original Heirs

Chapter 12

Hope’s Pov:-

Dakota was dragging me with him, his face showed anger and I didn’t understand why? What did Blade tell him? What he meant by, it’s begun? What is happening here? 

I was confused and scared, “Dakota,” I called, but he ignored me and kept on pulling me with him until we reached his house. As we went closer to the mansion I could see the worried expressions on his parent's faces, his mom looked at his father with a worried expression on her face and his father just stared at her with a blank expression. 

All this was very confusing to me, I want to know what’s happening here and what these people are but I was scared to voice my questions which made me be quiet and swallow my questions for the time being. 

He dragged me inside the house, towards his room. He opened the door and dragged me to his bed. He made me sit down on his bed and sat beside me, I could see him clenching his jaw and clearly controlling himself. 

Why is he angry? A question popped inside my head as I glanced at his face. He closed his eyes while a nerve popped out on his forehead, I gulped hard while looking at him. He looked scary in anger and I don’t want him to repeat what he did with me in the washroom. His behaviour at the washroom and what he’s doing now is very confusing to me, “Dakota!” I called feeling the confusion in my head building up more and more. 

He looked at me with questioning eyes, “What’s happening? Why am I here?” I asked while maintaining the distance from him. He stared at me for a while without saying anything, I was curious to know what was happening here and I wanted to go home and far from Dakota after what I witnessed in the forest. 

“You are here because of me,” he said flatly while staring into my eyes, whatever I saw in the forest flashed in front of my eyes. Is he holding me captive because I saw his true form? Oh my god! Will he kill me to keep his secret? 

All kinds of questions raised in my head after hearing what he said which only made me more scared for my life, I gulped hard in fear looking away from him. 

“I won’t tell anyone! I swear,” I said, looking down at my lap, I could see him looking at me, but I didn't dare to look up at him. 

“I want to go home, Please let me,” I asked while glancing at him and back at my lap, I heard him sigh deeply which made me look at him. 

“I can’t do that…” he said while looking at me, hearing him my shoulders fell in disappointment, 

“Not after what you saw… you need to prove yourself to my parents then only you are allowed to go home,” he said, 

“You don’t understand, My parents will be worried if they don’t see me in my room, I have to go back,” I said, desperately. 

“You can go home in the morning, Now go to sleep,” he said while getting up from the bed,

“How will I sleep when you are keeping me here against my will and after what I saw,” I yelled in anger and frustration. He was now looking at me with anger evident in his eyes while he clenched his jaw, “Never talk to me in that tone,” he warned dangerously while fisting his hand at his sides. 

I swallowed hard and took a deep breath while controlling myself, “You have to tell me,” I said while standing up from the bed and with a determined look on my face.  

He glared at me and I didn’t look away this time, I kept my stare on while he continued to glare at me. I’m not gonna back down, I have to go back to my home now or he has to tell me everything if he wants me to be here. 

He continued to glare while taking a step towards me threateningly, I slowly stepped back while gulping hard at the menacing look on his face. I backed away from him until my back hit the wall, he moved closer while placing his strong arms on either side of me, trapping me in his cage. 

“What do you want to know?” he asked looking into my eyes, I gulped at his closeness. He was way too close to my liking and it was somehow affecting me. 

“Eve-everything!” I stuttered while looking into his eyes, his beautiful emerald eyes searched mine before a small smirk formed on perfect kissable lips. 

Kissable lips? Really hope! Come back to your senses, he’s the same guy who misbehaved with you. My subconscious yelled in my head. 

Before I could shake my head and come out of the trance, he moved closer to me until his lips touched my ear, my body shivered at his contact and those tingling sensations hit me again. 

“Are you sure, you can keep this secret?” He whispered while his lips brushed against my earlobe, making me gasp and place my hands over his chest and give him a lite push. 

“Y-Yes,” I stuttered, he moved his face back and stared into my eyes, he didn’t say anything for a while and kept staring into my eyes which made me uncomfortable and nervous. I watched his eyes flicker at my lips and back to my eyes which made my throat go dry and all of a sudden I had an urge to lick my lips.  

“D-Dakota '' I called him out of nervousness and also to control myself. I swallowed while breathing hard and my heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage at his closeness. 

“I’m a werewolf,” He said looking straight into my eyes. I had seen him turning into a big wolf in front of my own eyes which confirmed what he was! But I want to know why he isn't letting me go still I didn’t say anything and let him talk. 

“And you…” he stopped while bringing his hand up and tracing his long finger down my cheek, “....are my mate!” He added while gazing down my lips. 

I widened my eyes in shock, mate? 

“What?” I asked in shock, I have read many werewolves books and I know exactly what a mate is, but I thought it was all a myth and those creatures don’t exist. 

Guess, I’m wrong. 

He chuckled at my reaction and placed his hand under my chin while raising my head up, “You are mine,” He said while tracing my lower and making head spin, vision blurry.
