Daniel’s POV
.
“Save it. I know you did it on purpose.”, I said, faking my pain, and she actually fell into my trap instead of thinking that how in the earth could this even be possible for someone like me, a strong Alpha, to whimper in pain just because he fell from the bed. “If you hated me so much, then you could have told me about that to me. Instead of hurting me indirectly.”
“That’s not true, Daniel. I could never think of hurting my mate.”, She panicked, and tears dwelled in her eyes. Okay! Now seeing tears in her eyes was the last thing in my mind. So, I stopped acting.
“Angel,” I cupped her face. “I’m sorry. I was just messing with you. Please don’t cry.”
It took a moment for her to realize the things, and trust me, she gave me a deadly glare as if she wanted to eat me alive.
“You…”, She hit me with the pillow. “Here I was regreeting on my action, and my guilt was eating me up. And you were enjoying my misery.”
“I’m sorry.”, I laughed while she kept hitting me.
“Sorry, my foot.”, She said and raised her hand to hit me again, but this time I held her wrist, pulling her toward me, making her fall on my chest.
I opened my mouth to say apologize again but couldn’t say a single word when my eyes landed on her cleavage, which I could see clearly because of the position we were in.
“Stop staring at my breast.”
“Why?
“Because it’s my private property, and trespasser is not allowed here.”
“But I’m not a trespasser. I’m…I’m the security in charge of your private property.” I couldn’t believe that I, Alpha Daniel Grint, was discussing this topic with my mate.
If someone would have said to me that I would do something like this after finding my mate, then I would have never believed him or her, but then here we were! No doubt, my mate had wrapped me around her fingers.
A playful smile appeared on Angel’s face before she spoke. “I didn’t remember hiring any security in charge.”, Saying this, she intentionally dropped her body on me, pressing her breast against my chest.
“It happened the day when you got married to a handsome and dashing Alpha.”
“Really?”, She asked, raising her brow.
“Really.”, I muttered, leaving her wrist and wrapping my hand around her waist. At that moment, I wanted to do nothing but claim her, but I somehow controlled my beast and leaned toward her lips. Seeing my advance, she didn’t pull herself from me; instead, she closed her eyes. The moment I felt that I had almost claimed her lips, my phone started ringing out of nowhere.
Angel quickly pulled herself away from me and looked flushed. I cursed in my mind for the wrong timing of the call and took the phone out of my pocket.
‘Aunt Emma?’ Why is she calling?’ I thought before receiving the call. Immediately I realized that she might be calling me out of worry; after all, I had blocked my mind link when I was spending time with Angel.
“Hello, Aunt Emma” I received the call and walked out of the room toward the balcony.
‘Finally, Dan! I got to hear your voice. Since I wasn’t able to connect with you, I was getting negatives thoughts. That’s why I called you on your phone.’
‘I’m fine, Aunt Emma. Don’t worry about me.’, I assured with a smile on my face. I was so glad to have such an amazing aunt in my life who cared and loved me for real until my mother, who was full of fake emotions and a fake face.
“I’m glad you are. By the way, why haven’t you returned from the city until now? And please don’t tell me that you fought with Evangeline.”
“That’s a long story, Aunt. I will tell you tomorrow and yes! You guessed it right! I had a fight with Evangeline, but now everything’s sorted, so don’t worry about that as well, okay?” I responded.
“Okay. See you tomorrow then. Bye.”
“Bye, Aunt, and take care!” I said before disconnecting the call.
After a while, when I went back into the room, I found Angel sitting on the bed and playing with her hair. She was so engrossed that she didn’t even acknowledge my presence.
“What are you thinking so hard?”
“You’re back!”
“That’s not the answer to my question.”, I said, sitting beside her.
“Don’t ask me anything because I won’t tell you any lies.”, She responded. It was indirectly signal that her answer my turn off my mood or something. A part of me already guessed what she could answer but was still stubborn to know her answer.
“I can handle the truth, Angel, so tell me, what were you thinking so hard?”
“Fine then! Don’t tell me later that I didn’t warn you in advance. I was thinking about your mom and your behavior toward her. I mean, I couldn’t understand why you are so close to your aunt but not with that lady who gave birth to you?”, She said in one breath.
I knew by the time she would finish, I would be burning in anger. Now, I realize why people say that ‘never ask questions you don’t want to know the answers to.’
Seeing a sudden change in my expression, she spoke. “I’m sorry. I didn’t want to ruin your mood.”
“Guess what? You already did.”, I snapped.
“You can’t blame me for that. You asked me to tell me the truth by saying, ‘I can handle the truth.’, She mimicked the last five words and glared at me.
“I don’t know why were you even thinking something like that?”
“That’s because I have a BRAIN who doesn’t take anyone’s permission before working.”
“Moon Goddess, why do you always pick a fight with me?”
“Wow! Now you’re blaming me? Remember, Mister, that one hand can’t clap; it takes two hands to clap.”
“The moment I feel like that, now everything will be fine between us; you ruin everything. EVERYTHING. I don’t want to talk with you anymore.”
“I don’t want to talk with you either.”
With that, I left her bed and sat on the bed opposite her. I was extremely pissed at her and her tone because she didn’t leave a chance to raise a voice against me. I couldn’t help but start thinking that I had known my mate for just two days, yet I had never argued more with anyone in my entire life. I could add up all the arguments my mother and siblings, and I had had over all my years, and it wouldn’t begin to compare to the last forty-eight hours with my mate.
