Mate, You Are My Enemy

Chapter 54:Conclusion

Diana’s pov

I hope I never meet any woman that Ezra has slept with other than me.

Huh, the murderous thoughts in my head are starting to scare me.

Ezra bit my n****e, and I snapped out of my thoughts.

“Focus on me, who are you thinking about while grinding on me?” he asked.

The look in his eyes and the aura around him.

That is the same feeling I just had a few seconds ago.

I was jealous of the imaginary girlfriends that Ezra had.

“Just thinking of how this is now my favourite tie,” I said as I wrapped it around him.

I used it to pull him closer to me and kissed him.

This completely silenced him and the endless thoughts in my head.

And as always, a few hours later, I was on the bed with my legs spread apart and absolutely tired and satisfied.

Ezra got out of bed, and I heard water in the bathroom.

I could barely keep my eyes open with just how tired I was.

When I opened them, Ezra was standing at the bathroom door, completely naked.

He didn’t seem shy or conscious about it.

No, instead, he seemed so confident that I almost scoffed.

“Why not cover up a little? You don’t want to go around looking like that. Yes, you are a little bit above average, but it’s nothing to be proud of,” I said.

I watched how he looked at me with disbelief and then looked down at his crotch.

“A little but above?” he asked as if the words were foreign to him.

I nodded, doing my best to look completely innocent, but he didn’t buy it.

“Maybe you should get your eyes checked. Or do you want to measure it?” he asked, walking towards me.

I smiled as I moved away from him, but not fast enough.

He caught my legs and pulled me towards him.

I found myself giggling at this, and he threw me over his shoulder.

“As much as I would like to prove myself, you are tired and should rest.”

We got to the bathroom, and he placed me in the bathtub and then followed.

I let myself rest my head on his shoulders as he poured water all over my body.

He made a point of massaging me as well while washing my hair and body.

He suddenly stopped, and I stayed like that for a few good minutes before talking.

“You can’t kill the entire pack.”

I turned around to look at him and watched genuine shock cross his face.

So I was right: he thinks the only way to protect me at this moment is to kill the entire pack.

“I can, I agree that Derek and the silver wolf would be a minor inconvenience.”

I watched as he thought about it, and the fact that he seemed genuinely sincere made me smile.

Which then made me frown because he is thinking of killing an entire pack, and I am thinking about how cute he is.

Not only that, but he just called the strongest people of this pack a minor inconvenience, like it was nothing.

And he isn’t wrong; if he wanted to get rid of the entire pack, he could.

Most of the werewolves would collapse just from the power of his aura.

I heard that during his fight with his father, any omega who was within the vicinity couldn’t move.

Some couldn’t even walk for days because of just how much aura those two radiated together.

“But you shouldn’t.”

I watched how he looked at me with a frown.

The innocence in his eyes as if I was merely denying him the pleasure of going to a friend’s party on a Friday night.

I kissed his neck and watched as he slowly relaxed a bit.

His hands around me tightened, and he nodded, but begrudgingly so.

After some time, he spoke up once again.

"If I started a war with them right now. Which side would you fight on? Will you stop me or will you fight beside me?" Ezra asked.

I froze at his words, not because the question stunned me but because the answer did. '

The answer came to me in less than a second, and it isn't what I thought it would be.

As if he already knew the answer, I would make, Ezra hugged me.

After the bath, I could barely keep my eyes open, let alone stand.

So Ezra supported me while drying my hair and then put me to bed.

I could feel myself falling, it is such a weird word, isn’t.

Falling asleep, falling down, and falling in love.

My thoughts linger on the last part: would all these things be the same?

Would falling asleep and falling in love feel the same way?

Or will it feel like falling down in the most painful way?

Ezra’s hands wrapped around me, his scent and warmth engulfed me.

Huh, now that I think about it, falling in love doesn’t sound so bad.

I slowly opened my eyes and found Ezra staring at me.

The tenderness in his eyes was too much.

When he realized I was awake, he kissed me.

“Morning.”

A smile graced my face before I could even gather myself.

That morning voice was so out of this world.

Okay, this Ezra isn’t good for my ovaries.

“If you keep looking at me like that, then we might not leave this room today.”

Another smile spread on my face at his words.

I got out of bed, and we got ready for the day.

One thing I have noticed with Ezra, we can just sit around in silence.

Doing our own different tasks and the air around us wouldn’t be awkward.

I watched as he took the same tie he wore last night and put it on.

One thing about Ezra is that he is very particular about hygiene.

He wouldn’t wear something twice like this.

“Why are you wearing that?” I couldn’t help but ask.

He smiled as he leaned into me.

“It is now my favourite tie as well.”

He winked, seeing him so carefree made me feel at ease.

“Mmmh, it’s a pointless thought. All your ties are black, and most of them look the same,” I pointed out.

“And from what I have seen in your closet, you have about 3 more that look like this.”

I watched how he slowly frowned, but then it got replaced with a smirk.

“Then, when we get home, we have our work cut out for us. We need to make sure that every single one of those ties is my favourite.”

I found myself blushing.

I am blushing because of something Ezra said.

There was a knock on the door, and I caught Derek’s scent.

Gosh, I was so distracted that I even noticed that Derek was coming here.

Ezra seemed to have noticed because he pulled me closer as he spoke.

“Come in.” Derek opened the door, and his eyes landed on us.

Me still blushing furiously with Ezra’s hand on my waist.

“Well, what do we have here? Am I interrupting?” Derek asked.

The look on his face as he looked at us told me all I needed to know.

“No, we were done here.”

Ezra stared at me, and I watched how his smirk widened.

“We will start with our little task tonight.”

With that said, he walked out of the bedroom.

I looked at his back, walking out and leaving me with Derek in a bedroom.

Ezra has gotten a little too confident.

Why is that?

“Let’s go for a walk in the gardens,” Derek said, holding out his hand.

I took it, knowing fully well that I would have to pay a price for this later.

We got to the garden, and I looked around, waiting for Derek to talk.

He came to see me so early in the morning, which means he has something he wants to say.

“I remember the first time I realized Ezra’s obsession with you. I was so happy,” he spoke up.

I looked at him, confused.

Why would he be happy that Ezra is obsessed with me?

I had noticed the way he looked at us, that he knew.

“Well, you two were always bickering.

You have different ideals and values, so it is to be expected.

And I would watch how he would cave into your way of thinking after some time.

I believe that you are the reason Ezra isn’t a complete monster.”

He paused as if trying to find the right words for what he was about to say next.

“You were like a beast tamer in my eyes and seemed completely unaffected by his charms.”

He turned to look at me, his eyes completely serious.

Derek is the playful type, so when he changes gears like this, it means things are serious.

“Last night made me realize that we didn’t know each other as well as we thought we did.”

I let his words sink in and realized that he is right.

We considered each other friends, but we hid things from one another.

I hid my entire identity while he carried a heavy load of his own secret with him.

And yet, neither of us noticed that we were both suffering in our own ways.

"After last night, I started looking at you differently. Looking at things differently, I reached a terrifying conclusion.”

I waited for him to finish.

What conclusion did he reach that has him looking so surprised and confused?

"Before I tell you, let me ask you a question. If I started a war with Ezra, or he started one with me. Whose side will you take?" he asked me.

Why the f**k is everyone asking me that question?

I avoided Derek's eyes, and he chuckled a bit.

“No need to say anything. It's written all over your face. You want to know what I realized, Diana? " he asked me.

"I realized that, Diana, you are just as obsessed with Ezra as he is with you,” he finished off.

I looked at him like he had grown two heads.

Did he just say that I am obsessed with Ezra?
