“Give me a chance to make it up to you. I promise to not disappoint you and do whatever you want. If you want our relationship to be a secret. I am ready to do it. Please give me a chance.”
“James, I’m not good enough for you. I don’t want to be your girlfriend. I’m gonna hurt you. I’m going to break your heart in a heartbeat and you will hate me for it.”
“I don’t care.”
“I am not me, James. I am broken and insane. So, don’t fall in love with someone like me. You don’t know who I fantasize in my head all day. I’m not…” I swallowed. “I’m not normal. So, don’t fall in love with me.”
“You still can’t push me away. I’m gonna fall in love deeper than you will ever think. I love you, and I’m willing to do anything to make us work.”
“But promise me, one thing.”
“I will do anything.”
“If it doesn’t work, once I come up to you and demand for a breakup between us, do it.”
“I promise you with all my heart.”
“And I am not perfect. I’m not gonna act like a normal girlfriend to you. I can go on for weeks without bothering to see you. Can you handle that?”
“Yes.” He responded confidently. “I’m ready to do anything.”
I sighed with a nod. “Okay.” And turned away from him and then I stopped and faced him again. “Can I know the reason you accused Ash of poisoning you?”
“Can we not talk about it?” He requested with a smile and rubbed my left cheek with his right thumb when he moved closer to me.
“You must have a reason to call him out like that.” I rolled my eyes. “What! Are you guys beefing?”
“Ugh. Violet.” He gently questioned. “Please do me a favor.”
“And what is that?”
“I will talk to you when I want to talk to you about Ash. For now, I don’t feel like talking about it.”
I nodded. “I’m truly sorry for how I embarrassed you out there, though.”
“I know you are, Violet. Trust me, when I want to talk about it, I will let you know.”
“Alright.” I gave out a smile and James hugged me one more time before letting go of me. “Do you wanna go to class together?!” I suggested.
“No.” He disagreed. “We just started dating, and I wanna give you some space to adjust to our relationship. I don’t wanna rush you or anything.”
“Oh! I get it.” I cackled.
“Yeah.” He nodded. “You go on first. I want to be here for a while, Violet.”
“Okay.” I put up a solemn expression. “Be for real. Are you okay? Has the wolfsbane completely gotten out of your system?”
“Yes, my family’s doctor said I was super good now. He said if the school hadn’t treated me right, I would have died.”
“What!” His words horrified me. “You would have died?”
“Yes. But it’s all in the past now and I wanna leave all that behind me.”
“No, we can’t.” I let out. “You almost died, James-”
“Don’t worry, Violet. We will figure it out, okay?”
“Alright.” I nodded and walked out away from him.
I rushed out of the rooftop and ran to the toilet, using the tap from the sink to wash my face.
I burst into tears and sobbed so bitterly, my heart was nearly out of my chest.
~James’ Pov~
I saw Violet rushing out on me. I knew she must have figured out who the culprit was.
Or maybe not.
Yet, why were her eyes wrecked up with so much sadness?
I looked at the side of the wall door. Violet ran out and realized someone had been there the whole time.
“Whoever is in there, come out now.” I ordered because the scent of this alpha was becoming hard to endure.
It smells bad, which means whoever that Alpha is, he was really furious.
Ash emerged from the door with a smirk and sauntered towards me. Both hands in his pockets as he drew closer to me with a cigarette at the right side of his lips.
“You were the one behind the wall door.” I boldly voiced out.
He chuckled and released a huge smoke at my face and drew closer to me. “Congratulations!”
“Why are you congratulating me?” He was more devilish than I thought he was.
“You came back from your deathbed and the next thing you are doing is dating my sister. Why wouldn’t I congratulate you? You truly amuse me.”
“What is so amusing about me after you tried to kill me?”
“Nothing. You are as boring as fuck, James.”
“We are both dating now. There is truly nothing you can do about it. You might as well stay away from her.”
“You are hilarious, James.” He laughed and walked away from me.
“What are you gonna do next? Pierce my heart with a silver bullet.”
He lolled his head at me. “Why? Are you scared?!”
“Why would I be afraid of your stupid ass?”
“Well, you should be. You don’t know what I’m gonna do next. So, you should be afraid, of course.”
“And you as well.” I took a few steps towards him. “I wonder what would happen when your parents find out you are in love with your sister.”
His eyes shot up as he properly faced me. His expression then faded, and he smoked heavily with a wicked grin.
“You think I wouldn’t find out? I wonder what Violet thinks if she finds out that her brother is in love with her.”
“When you find out what she thinks of me, you are gonna collapse. Then, once she realizes she can’t hide her feelings anymore. You would be sorry. She will wreck your heart into pieces. I know my sister like the back of my hand and how soft she can be.” He came to me in a flash and tapped my shoulder with his finger, and then he whispered. “This time, it wouldn’t be wolfsbane anymore. Your leg will be the next thing that will twist instead of your neck as you fall down the stairs in your terrible fate.”
“Is that a threat?” I pushed his finger off me with a snap.
“Does it sound like a threat to you, James?”
I frowned.
“I hope not.” He murmured nonchalantly. “You are stronger than this. Of course, mere words that come out of my mouth shouldn’t sound like a threat to you.”
“Why do you hate me so much?”
