Chapter 11
Selena’s Pov.
I woke up the next day with a strong headache. Still lying on the bed with Alpha Lucien sitting near me, his head lying on the bed, he was fast asleep. I remain unmoved, trying to remember the circumstances that brought Alpha to sleep in my room until daybreak, so unusual.
Then I remember, at the ball party, the last thing I remember happening before I collapsed was a familiar, worried and scared voice calling me. It was Alpha Lucien's. My lips curled in amusement; he cared about him even more than I expected. My head keeps aching but I managed to remember the full incident… How a wolf humiliated me……her words… “He is my fated mate” I covered my mouth in surprise. “So he has a fated mate? Then what is his intention, why did he choose me instead of his fated mate? Did he want to make me a breeder? Then make her his Luna? Why did the wolf say, " Very soon I'll be scorched dead? What heat haze burns around him that I never know?”
Different questions I dared not ask him weighed on my mind. Strong anger rose within me, and I felt like crushing him while he was sleeping. Something keeps telling me he knew he would burn me alive then he pretends to love me. I would find out what the wolf said. Still burning with rage within me, Alpha raised his head, he woke up just now.
Our eyes met but I decided not to move my eyes away the way I used to whenever our eyes met. I'm not going to act weak again, I assured myself. He stood from his seat and came closer to me.
“Are you okay?” He asked in a calm voice that suddenly sounded irritating to me. I chose not to speak because I was angry at him, until I felt his palm on my forehead, it was as if his touch loosened a screw that locked that rage in me. I shoved his hand away angrily. His hand remained hanging in the air where I threw it, for some seconds with his eyes full of shock and anger.
I actually don't care how he is feeling right now, after all his intention towards me wasn't a good one and his actions are only fake.
“What's wrong Selena? Tell me are you okay? Should I call the doctor” His voice was a bit faint, showing stress, worry and his eyes were with eyebags, evidence that he didn't have enough sleep. I almost pity him and believe his actions are real, my heart melted a bit, but no, I shoved the feelings away hurriedly.
“ Don't talk to me!!! Don't touch me!!! , I don't want to see you” I snapped at him in my sick voice full of rage.
He stood in shock with his red eyes glued on me as if he had just seen a ghost.
“Selena!!!” He screamed angrily with his fist tightly held. I chuckled.
“ Do whatever you want to do, hit me? Isn't it?” I laughed. “ Do it, after all this is not the first time you'll be hitting me, do it again!!! Hit me!!” I screamed with all the energy in me.
It was as if my words carried a spell that loosened him. His red eyeballs changed immediately to white, and he released his fist slowly while his eyes remained glued to mine. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to talk but no words came out.
“ Huh? Won't you hit me now? Won't you burn me now? Here I'm, do….” Before I could complete my weird talks he stormed on me and laid his lips on mine hurriedly like a hungry beast. I struggled to withdraw my lips from his but he was too strong, he kissed my lips wildly, without giving me a chance to do my part like a normal kiss. He took responsibility for the whole kiss making me hit him non-stop, even though I tasted my blood he didn't stop until he was satisfied. He finally removed his lips from mine after several failed attempts to push him away.
His lips were more pink and I knew mine must have swollen, we were both breathing heavily but mine was with anger while he looked satisfied and calm.
“ Get away from me, you're evil, I don't want to see you near me” I shhouted as tears streamed down my eyes even though I had planned not to cry earlier. I couldn't hide my pain anymore. He handled me roughly just now confirming my thought as a breeder. It was true.
“ I guess you had a nightmare that made you so angry with me, whatever it's always remember that you can open up to me as your mate, I will tell the doctor to come and attend to you and if you need anything let me know” he turned to leave and stopped halfway. “ I'll come back to see you”. He continued walking his way out.
“No, don't come back to see me. Don't come to me again. Let me be alone” I replied in a loud voice enough for him to hear as I continued crying while my lips kept bleeding.
I watched his steps stop when I spoke, he clenched his fist again, and I knew he was pissed off. “ Oh okay, since you don't want to see me, you don't want me again… Then I won't force you” he said lastly before hastening his steps out and jamming the door as if he would prefer it broken. Immediately he left I unleashed the cry I didn't know I was holding. I couldn't say if I had fallen for him or if I'm afraid of dying in his bed.
After an hour the doctor came in to treat me and the maids brought delicious soup that even the aroma alone reminded me that I'm still alive.
“ Alpha Lucien asked me to bring you this soup for you, it will help you get well quickly, and this meal will prevent you from getting lean and nourish your body. You have to take it Luna” the maid said respectfully and arranged the table. I would have rejected the food even when I clearly knew Alpha sent it. But I dare not because I was famished and the aroma is irresistible. “Whatever that won't change my mind to fall for him again” I remained calm and hissed before dragging my feet to the table.
