Funny how he still kept my room intact, not dusty, not visited either, everything just the way I last saw them, from the painting to the wall, down to he clothes in the closet, just like the day i left it, the spill of foundation still beside my drawer, untouched, for four years?.
How crazy
Running my fingers at the edge of the cracked walls, from the impact of my back against the wall, it lines up to the ceiling , my gut knotted as i trailed through memory lane, he had me pinned so aggressively on this nights,
Those cold nights
Walking down to my bed, perfectly dressed, its unruffled sheets reminds me I haven't laid on it for years, all it does is reminds me of the night I laid on this bed, without him by my side , we never made love like every other couple. we f****d, hard, and he was quick to leave he moment he had his fills , leaving me alone all night, hoping he would return to coax my sore body to sleep.
Walking into closet, the diamond all line up, same way i left it, rome was generous with gifts, my dresses were lined, in racks , sometimes i lose count of how many dress i had, they never really saw the light of day, all were for occasion, as a trophy mate, i was made to dress to perfection, an envy to all, and blague to my husband.
Placing one of the chains on my neck, one of my favorites, with the way it Blends with the color of my eyes, he never said it to me, but each time I wore it, he would run his fingers on it.
He sound of the opening door pulls my attention, a lady walks in, with a tray on her hand a glass of water, and some pills , she doesn't look familiar, but with the way she smiled at me, definitely she had some knowledge of whom i might be, who doesn't know, about the famous ruler whose wife had ran off with no trace whatsoever.
She bows before me, before dropping the tray on the closet, “ the alpha demands you takes your drugs for your health” she said, her voice so tender, it calms me a little bit, i have been here for over six hours, i haven't seen a familiar face, not even one.
“ Are you new there?” I asked.
“ I have worked for the alpha for four years ma’am” she said, wow, “ thats nice” i said, she bows her head, before making her way to the door, “ do you know anything about margaret” i said, as thought of my favorite maid flashes in my mind, “ no ma’am, every worker were employed same time i was” she said.
That means?He fired everyone?.
Wow.
An intrusion through the door pulls us, to the furiously standing man, before us, his aura the lady, who now has her head bowed as she stared at her feet, rome bore menacing glances at her, as always, his presence exudes havoc.
“ leave” he commands
In a wink of an eye she was half way down the hall, he walks over to the tray beside him, pulling the glass from the tray, then the pills in his palm.
“ come here” he said, giving no room, for insolence, gently walking towards him, he was almost double my size, making me raises my feet almost every time i have to be so close to him, “ open your mouth” he said, and open my mouth i did, he tuckes he pills into my mouth followed by the water.
“ you don't like taking drugs”.
Edit
He sets the glass back, before taking a seat on the bed, tapping the vacant space beside him, so i seat, i heistately, but our last conversation, he so generous not yelling at me right now, “ what do they look like” he said, his tone far from demanding, it sounded compassionate, and almost soothing.
“ they look like you” i said, he held a complacent smirk , not exposing his teeth, a glint of satisfaction waves across his eyes, “ what are their names” it almost sounded unbelievable, I had hoped he would have asked earlier, way much earlier making we would give them names together about our children,
“ Chaise, Blaise and wade, “ I said, his smug smile turning a fledge smile, one that exposes his perfect dentition, his smile were so infectious , it made me smile just seeing him genuinely happy, not before a clan of other alpha, but because I made him smile.
I did that…
“ Those are really nice names, “ he said, still smiling, had I known a compliment could cause so much redness to the cheek, I would have covered it Sooner, tucking my hair behind my ears, letting the burning sensation overwhelm me , it feels so foreign , so genuines.
My once solemn wolf leaned at the edge, so eager to twirl and howl, I had almost forgotten how he made me feel, how strong our mate bond was, how we became mates in the first place, but the inferior he left me just being attached to him.
Then it all comes back, the memories, sleepless nights, fake laughter, quiet and tearless cry, my once elated smiles fall flat, as I decamp from him, being this close to him, only brings back unwanted memories, I wouldn’t choose to be here even in the worst of nightmares.
But if it means coming back on my knees, to help my children I will, they are all that matters to me, no one and nothing else matters, looking back at him, his ambience hits different from the person i had felt, earlier, he stares at the blanks space i moved from, then back at me.
His hands grasp the sheets of the bed, pulling it hard towards himself , dramatically pulling me towards him, his hands grasp my waist , as he lets his back fall on the bed, my petite self lays on top on him, it had happened even before I could say ‘woof’.
His heated body against mine, submerged in his scent, I let myself savor the sensation of having him so close , I feel his hardened finger trace it’s way up my bare thighs.
“ you are still my mate’
His voice hoarse and demanding, as he runs his fingers as he holds my body firm against his, , “ you are still mine” he whispered, brushing my hair off my face then behind my eyes, rolling my eyes to the sky, each second felt so bad in a good way, I just couldn’t get enough of it.
“ my… layla”
The sound of a forcefully opened door pulls our attention to the lady standing beside the door, her furious eyes glued on both of us, for a moment I thought I was dead, with the way her eyes tossed daggers, i tried pulling myself off his body, but he holds me so firm against him, whilst staring at her.
“ What are you doing with my mate! She yells tossing her bag at me, Rome let me go immediately, looking back at him, his once soothing look now clustered with uneasiness.
“ your mate?” i voiced, but he doesn't say anything, he just exhaled, casting me aside, before standing up from the bed .
“ yes I am his mate, now get the hell out like you did the last time, you slut.”
