MALIA’S POV
She walked in on us eating. Ronan pretty much just ignored her entire existence as she directed her words at me.
“Don’t think you have got it the way you want it now, I will keep watching you, and one day, you will fall into my trap” She threatened.
Thank goodness now she was direct and not beating around the bush like last time.
“I still have no idea what you are speaking about. You are either going to be direct with your words or you might as well just speak to the nearest wall. You will get more responses from them actually” I wasn’t even looking at her as I spoke. I had my gaze focused on the food in front of me.
“Can you for once not cause problems in people’s lives? Can you just learn the concept of boundaries and stay out of people’s line?” Ronan asked you can hear the frustration dripping in his tone.
“That is no business of yours beta. I am speaking to her and not you so do well to stay out of my lane too. To think about it, you could actually use a lesson in boundary too” She rolled her eyes at him and then turned to me, all while I stared at her. What is wrong with this woman?
“What is wrong with you?” I didn’t mean to ask because the answer would do nothing to me but I have no idea when I even blurted it out of my mouth.
“What is wrong with me? You want to know what is wrong with me?” She chuckled while I struggled to think if I might have said something funny along the way.
“Oh you don’t worry about that, I am not interested in finding out anymore. Just leave it to yourself” I waved my hands around indicating the end of the conversation.
“I think you haven’t been given a good orientation about me and how I operate but worry not, ’cause when I am done with you, you will be the one telling the tale to the lots” The amount of bitterness in her tone shocked me. Seriously what have I done to this woman?
“While all you talk about is how you are, you are forgetting a single fact. You also don’t know me, you don’t know how I operate. Heck, I might even know you more than you know me. So I will equally tell you to watch out” I glared at her, her words getting on my nerves for real this time.
She was quiet for some time, probably thinking over what I had just said and then she spoke again.
“He is giving you this confidence, right? Which is why you are talking back at me how do you see please you?” her time was much lower this time. Like she was speaking to herself.
“Sorry, who?” I genuinely want to know because she was heading somewhere with that tale.
“You should know who I am speaking about better than me. But that is not even the real deal. The thing is, if you think because he got his attention on you for now, that he will continue to be by your side, then I can’t wait to see how you will be when the case is reserved”
“I am still not understanding what you mean” I wasn’t been sarcastic, I genuinely didn’t know what she was talking about.
“I don’t care if you do or not. What I want you to know is that he loses interest just as quickly as he gained them and by the time he loses interest in you, I will be there and all those words you said, you will repeat them, every one of them” She was furious, very frantic for a reason I am failing to understand.
My eyes zeroed at Ronan, who surprisingly doesn’t look as shocked as I do. He only glanced at her for a few seconds and then shifted his gaze away from her back to his food. He for some reason, doesn’t want to get himself involved with this conversation.
“Listen” I started slowly and calmly, wanting to convey to her the genuineness of my question. “I do not understand anything, not even a single thing you are trying to say is making sense to me. I will need to elaborate even further if you do not mind of course”
“You want to tell me that you don’t the Alpha had an interest in you? That you are using it against me?”
“What the…..?” To say I was stunned would be an understatement. I was terrified.
“What…what do you even mean by that? The Alpha, there is nothing between me and him” I mumbled looking at her dead in the eyes.
“Oh you can pretend all you like, but I got my information from a reliable source and nothing you tell me will beat what I heard” She stood her ground, even putting her hands on her waist.
“Can you get out of my space? Ser yourself out and never show up or else I will gladly lead you out” Ronan suddenly interrupted, glaring at her as he spoke.
“I will go out, there is no need for you to show me out but you should know that I will get back to you too. I will” With that, she twirled around and left the room leaving behind an eerie silence.
My gaze stayed at the closed door for some time, so many things going on in my head. What does she even mean by the Alpha being interested in me? How is he interested in me? Where on earth did she get that?
“Where on earth did she get that?” I asked out loud not expecting an answer from anyone but it did come.
“Don’t mind her, just forget about anything she said and focus on the conversation we were having before she interrupted” He waved away her topic like it was nothing.
“What conversation were we having?” I asked and that it was, her chapter was closed for the rest of the day.
