The Alpha with Two souls is my Husband

CHAPTER 8

MAIA'S POV

I stared at the three people, the smile on their faces felt like it's forced, as if I would kill them if they smiled sincerely.

"Em... What is her name?" The woman in the middle asked Riot, whose face is more terrible than theirs through his mask.

"Maia" he answered.

The woman stepped forward and held my hand, smiling. "How are you my dear?"

I looked at Riot again, trying to ask who these people were, because I still haven't understood a thing. "Yes. I'm....fine, I guess"

"I'm Gloria. The Luna of this pack" she introduced, with pride and arrogance evident in her tongue then she turned to the other man with a fixed smile. "That's Theophilus. My husband, the Alpha"

I gasped immediately "The alpha of west Pack?"

They both nodded with wide smiles.

I was completely clueless om what to say, but I offered them to sit while I used the opportunity to collecting some drug from the doctor to leave them alone.

Adam left before dawn, to take his bath and come back with Dad, since he couldn't drive long distance.

Now I'm left for these imposing people.

I don't even know why he brought the Alpha and his wife since I'm not refusing to marry him.

I wasn't collecting anything from the doctor. It's just an opportunity to slip away but when I've already watched enough soap opera at the reception, I went back, but Riot was waiting for me at the door.

His dark and sharp gaze made me staggered back, and I swallowed hard. "Hum, hi?"

"You don't seem to like having people around, I think?" I stopped in my tracks and swallowed. It felt like I've really wronged him, after all I said yesterday.

"You didn't tell me that you’ll be coming with people"

"I couldn't stop them" He chuckled darkly. He leaned away from the wall and stood before me.

"How long are you staying here for?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to act like my husband right now?"

"If I'm not, what else?"

Urghhh! I hate this new feeling and this new self imposed title so much that it turns my inside out.

Only if he knew how much I hate it. But I shrugged. “Alpha Riot, are you always like this or….”

“Are you denying me?” He questioned again, this time making me step back, while he followed, until my back hit the cold walls.

“I told you I would love to stay with my sister for a while longer, right?”

He lowered his voice as he grabbed my jaw. “The doctor said she wouldn't wake up anytime soon, are you trying to use that as the opportunity to key me down or what?”

“Alpha Riot!” I snapped, at that moment, train of doctors passed us, pushing someone lying on the stretcher, so Riot had to lean into me. I felt the buldge from under his trouser as he was bent against me.

A shiver ran down my spine, but I gulped it down and waited until the people left, so I could slip away but he held me back.

“was running away running in your blood?” he teased, running his hand down my hair.

I slapped his hand away. “Alpha Riot, I don't think I can tolerate this”

He stopped, and stepped away, as if he was really scared or really listened to me. I tried leaving, yet again and he didn't hold me back.

I had to stop dead in my tracks, to look at him unmoving. “You….”

“Did I stop you?”

Damnit!!! I glared at him with hatred. “Did you enjoy this so much that you feel proud?”

No answer, but I could see through his mask— he was smirking at me, and probably making fun of me.

“Whether you like it or not, you're wearing my ring, and so I feel proud”

How much my hatred for him surged even the more. “Why are you waiting here for me?”

“To explain things”

I raised my brow. He wanted to explain things to me? Like…. Did I ask?

“I know you think I'm…not really fine. But believe it, I won't hurt you. I'll try to be myself and protein you” He explained in one gasp, making me more confused.

Try to be himself after trying to kill me? I guess this must be the most cruel joke ever!

“So you're saying you're not yourself when you tried to strangle me?” I demanded, my smirk making me more proud. Now I could feel why he prefers to smirk so much after teasing and making fun of me.

“I mean…..” he paused. “I wasn't the one that… I mean I didn't….”

He couldn't arrive at a particular conclusion. This got me being more curious about him.

Awkward silence rented the air, and I could feel he wanted to say more but he couldn't.

“Theo and Luna Gloria came to escort you back, they couldn't stop talking about you, so….” he shrugged.

I rolled my eyes in irritation. Here we come again. “I said it just now. I have to be with Ayra for a longer while”

“Then what should I tell my own people who are expecting me to bring a wife home?” he grimaced. “You're Alpha Riot's Luna now,learn how to deal with that”

“You're mad” I spat through my hatred and anger.

He stilled but shrugged. “I'm used to being called that. Thanks tho”

The door of the ward opened, Gloria came out, smiling pleasantly but looked at Riot like he offended me. “Dear, is he giving you a hard time?”

I looked at Riot, his eyes wasn't changing. I flashed a quick but awkward smile. “No… he… I mean we're just talking about when I'll leave”

Gloria grabbed my hand. “My husband and I, and even Riot are shareholders here. So you don't have to worry about how to come here. It's just thirty minutes drive”

Gloria's warmth, Riot's accusing eyes all seems to become weapons that I couldn't fight against and caged me.

I could fight and win against Riot, in terms of refusing to leave, but this motherly and nice woman wouldn't like it if I refuse her, right?

My heart thumped wildly. Am I really ready to leave with a lunatic like Riot?

This is going to be very hard, but what choice do I have now?

Ayra is lying there in comatose, Dad is hypertensive and Adam would have to take care of the two of them now.

But taking care of them ain't the issue…. The issue is this mad man…

“Maia dear?” Luna Gloria blinked again.

The tight spot was closing me in. But I had to shrug. “Let me say goodbye to my sister”

Riot's eyes moved as he was smiling, he reached out and patted my head. “I'll wait for you”

I snapped out of his grip, I turned to leave and before getting into the ward, I saw Luna Gloria push him playfully, giggling happily.

“Your new wife is so beautiful”

I don't know why but I smiled. This journey is going to be tough, rough, dangerous and perhaps……. sweet, maybe?
