Mira’s Pov:
“What the fuck…!!! I surprisingly yelled at him, this was the same guy that I had been avoiding meeting, but here he was standing in front of me and even going to the extent of hugging and running his hand all over my body. I can’t fall too cheaply, is it because I lack affection? Is it because I haven’t felt like this before? I wildly stared at him as he tried to take a step forward.
“Hey….. you…you just stand there,” As I stammered to speak, he studied me intently, his gaze fixed on me. Slowly, he started moving closer towards me, his intentions unclear.
The tension in the air was palpable. He looks absolutely enchanting. I couldn’t help but indirectly take in his appearance. He’s wearing plain navy blue jeans that fit him perfectly and a crisp white shirt that complements his mesmerizing eyes.
His hair is styled in a charming ponytail, adding to his overall appeal. I couldn’t help but notice his mesmerizing long eyelashes, longer than mine, which made me a little jealous. He was undeniably handsome and had a neat appearance. His alluring eyes scanned my body from my leg all the way up to my eyes, giving me a heated look. It felt intense when his gaze stopped in between my thighs.
His eyes were fixed on my bare exposed thigh making me uncomfortable. But, to be honest, there was a part of me that felt happy too. There was just something about the way he gazed at me that had an effect on me. It made my legs weak, and his eyes even seemed to turn a shade darker. It was like he couldn’t tear his gaze away until he forcefully looked elsewhere. He chuckled, but then his attention came right back to me.
Clearing his throat, he mumbled, “Nice to meet you…..”
“Hey, I am greeting….” He pouts. I bit my lips to suppress the urge to laugh at his childish behavior, he kind of looked fun and silly.
“No … no it is too early to conclude,” I whispered within myself, trying to keep my thoughts to myself. It was hard not to react!
“Nice meeting you…..” I mustered up one of my fake smiles, hoping he wouldn’t see through it.
“Nice meeting you….” He greeted me.
I couldn’t help but stare at him like he had completely lost it. “How many times do you have to greet…..?” I rolled my eyes as I asked him.
“Feisty, umm…… I love it, it seems interesting,” He smirks mischievously, and there’s something about his smiles that feels like they were made just for me. The way his lips curl up and that naughty smirk… It’s absolutely fascinating. Plus, the fact that he’s six feet taller than me adds to the intrigue.
“Hey, Mira get hold of yourself…..” I screamed at myself, feeling a mix of frustration and confusion. Why did I let things get to this point?
“Is the mate bond, not me….. I am sure that it wasn’t me,” I tried convincing myself.
“Pretty…….” He rounded out and I disgustingly glared at him. He gave me a “what’s wrong” kind of look.
He confusedly asked me, “What’s wrong? Did I do something to upset you?”
“What…..?” I countered back.
He muttered, “You don’t answer questions with a question.”
“And what if I wanted to answer it like that? And besides, you don’t tell me how to answer a question,” I scoffed, feeling a surge of boldness despite my inner nerves. I decided to play it cool, acting like I didn’t care while secretly caring a lot.
“Alright, you cool down, cat…” He tried to calm me down by gently placing his hand on my shoulder.
Squirming out of his grasp, I snapped back, “Who are you calling a cat? Do I look like a cat to you?”
Placing his hand on his heart, he bursts into laughter and playfully stumbles back, saying, “I gotta admit, you’re pretty funny!”
“Sounds funny to you…. ahh, I look funny to you, right,” I shot him an intense glare, my eyes filled with frustration and anger.
Trying to suppress his laugh when he noticed my hardened expression, though there was a glint of amusement in his eyes, he said “Hey, I didn’t say that you look funny…. I was just complimenting your beauty,”
“That I looked funny, right, is that a compliment to you? Does it sound like a compliment?” I lash out at him, I don’t know why it hurts me that he said that I look funny. Is not my fault that I wasn’t born pretty, I didn’t create myself.
If I am pretty and passing through this mess then that could be a different thing but being ugly and going through this misery is another story. How am I supposed to stand in between these two Greek gods and claim that I was mated to two of them? I am sure that it is going to be a huge slap to their face. Hunter is already suffering the disgrace of being mated to me, so I can’t drag Derrick into this mess too.
“I never said that you looked funny…..” His gentle words brought me back to the present moment, snapping me out of my thoughts. If not that my life wasn’t a mess already. If we had met as different people I could have marked him as mine here and now but I can’t do that. I don’t want what will jeopardize my reasons for escaping and saving my sanity before I lose it completely in this pack.
“Whatever…… are you not supposed to be inside, as the celebrant?” I asked him.
“Oh! Wait, are you now stalking me…..?” I taunt him.
“I am not stalking you….. though if given an opportunity I could do that without any stress at all, I won’t mind stalking you all day,” I couldn’t help but notice the devilish smile that adorned his lips as he finished speaking. It added an intriguing touch to his words.
“Umm……umm….. ” I cleared my throat but words refused to come out. After some hours of standing there, he finally burst into another laugh, I glared deadly at him.
“Ouch!… whatever,” I groaned angrily, frustrated with myself for suddenly going mute. Now I hate this guy, he is really getting on my nerves!
“Why are you here….?” The word slipped from my mouth before I could stop it. Ugh, I can’t believe I said that! I always manage to embarrass myself.
Stretching the nape of his neck, he cleared his throat severely. “I just wanted to get to know you better,” he said, his voice filled with sincerity.
“There is nothing to know about me…” I sound so nervous, it’s overwhelming! I really hope he didn’t pick up on my uneasiness, but deep down, I know he’s smarter than I give him credit for. And that’s what scares me the most.
What if he finds out about me being mated and married to his brother? Will he still smile at me like this, or will everything just disappear?
