Chapter 4. Won't accept her
955 Words
After Vesper was taken away, Zara headed after Riven and went to meet him in his special chamber.
" Where is she from?" She demanded audaciously with a stern face!
Riven was about to pull off his coat when he heard Zara's bold words behind him.
" Don't forget your identity," he reminded her, his low bass voice inspiring fear and respect. " You are not to question what I do."
Zara's eyes turned into slits, gritting her teeth, and she blurted without thinking!
" Did you bring her here because she is an hostage, or because she resemble her?!"
She cared less about what she just said, her heart twisting with Riven's action, and she almost forgot her status as one of the Generals in the pack.
A dark energy suddenly swirled around Riven, and a vein bulged out from his neck!
" How should that be your concern?!"
Zara's face fell at Riven's heartbreaking response, and she clenched her jaws, seething with frustration, anger, and disappointment!
She couldn't accept what Riven just said!
Didn't he know how she felt about him?
She had sacrificed and done everything possible to be with Riven, yet he was still indifferent towards her and doesn't seem to care about her feelings.
How is that fair?!
" Alpha Riven......."
Zara squeezed her face and sucked in a deep breath...
No! She didn't want to ruin things now by getting on Riven's nerves.
So, she took a step closer to Riven and gently placed her palms on his broad shoulders.
" I am sorry. I didn't mean to lose control that way," she started coquettishly and curled her lips sexily, her angry facade gradually fading off.
" I know you must be drained from the war. Cheers to us. How about I give you some relaxing exercises?"
She offered, rubbing her hands slowly from his shoulders to his strong arms, down to his groin.......
His eyes lowered dangerously , and he made a low growl.....
Indeed, he needed something to soothe and calm his nerves.
Watching his reaction at her touch, Zara knew she still had the upper hand. She smirked victoriously. Without wasting a second, she leaned closer to him and proceeded to grab his shaft...
Suddenly, Vesper's forest green eyes flashed right in front of Riven's stone face, which made his forehead to crease.
A quick frown appeared on his face, but it was immediately replaced with an irritated expression, his jaws thickening !
" Out!"
Riven let out a roar, heavy as the weight of hell, and he slapped Zara's hand away from him!
He didn't know why but recalling Vesper's eyes made him feel guilty as if he was just about to engage in something unworthy. He couldn't control the guilt that surged from the bottom of his heart, and his body turned rigid!
" Huh?"
Perplexed, Zara pulled her brows swiftly, and stepped back a bit.
" What do you mean?" She questioned confusingly. " You want this ......"
" Don't make me repeat myself!"
Riven snapped terribly and strode away from Zara.
His word hung heavily in the air, resulting into the air becoming tensed.
His sudden dismissal greatly stunned Zara, her jaw dropping. Struggling to process the unexpected rejection, her face burned with embarrassment, and a new layer of rage!
"Hpmm!"
With an annoyed huff, she stormed out of the room! She would get to the bottom of this!
She was a general in the pack, and she had worked so hard to achieve that!
Infact, she believed no one could take her place now! Her biggest rival had been eliminated three decades ago!
" General Zara," a familiar voice mentioned her identity.
A tall thin but muscular man, wearing an armless shirt with his crimson hair packed in a ponytail style, walked forward, and nodded at Zara.
" Are you okay?"
The man asked with a subtle hint concern, raising one of his brows. He was the beta of the pack, second in command and power to the Alpha.
Although, he was a bit concerned, but inwardly, he was aware of everything.
..
Zara instantly lifted her head, replacing her exasperated expression with a friendly one.
" Oh, no, I am fine. Just a little discombobulated from the war," she responded, revealing a warm smile.
" I will take my leave now."
She nodded and walked past the beta.
Beta Lukas stroked his chin as he narrowed his eyes at Zara.
Looks like a competition is about to emerge!
A playful, yet mysterious look danced through his pupils, and his lips curved....
Eventually, he shifted his attention from Zara and strolled to his aimed place, which was Riven's chamber.
" Riven," he called out to the Alpha the moment he walked in and clasped his hands behind him in a solemn manner.
" Who is she?"
Riven ignored his Beta silently and proceeded to discard his dress piece gracefully.
His expression lack any warmth, and his eyes dimmed as he couldn't stop reflecting on his encounter with Vesper
The sudden familiar kiss....
The exposed skin. ..
However, Lukas paid no attention to Riven's expression and failed to care about the indifferent Alpha's expression.
It was like he was already used to it.
With an unclear but serious tone, he spoke again, " She looks so much like her. "
" Do you think she might be the. .one?"
He questioned calmly with a touch of uncertainty.
" No! She is just a hostage to use against the Shadow fire pack!"
Riven's fierce words resonated through the room, and he declared with a tone depicting his power, in an heartless manner!
" She isn't the one and I would never accept her!"
