Still Michael’s POV
I figured it would be much better to walk away and sort this shit out when am more calmer.
Besides she just made a mouthwatering offer that I just can’t resist. She promised not to run away from me anymore. She said she would do anything I want if I spared his life.
I ordered her to meet me in my suite in thirty minutes, then I stormed out of the restaurant and headed back to my room in a rage.
My friends followed closely behind me but I mind linked Celine and Josephine,
“Stay back and keep an eye on them, I want her in my room in thirty seconds.”
They turned back immediately and headed back to the restaurant while Derek and Brian followed me back to my room.
I could not sit still when we got back to my suite. My friends stood at the door, too scared to come any closer while I paced the room nonstop, waiting impatiently for her.
I kept counting the seconds, waiting for her to walk in through that door. I couldn’t help uttering random curses as I waited for her to come.
“I said thirty seconds. I fucking warned her, didn’t I?? I said thirty seconds. I fucking said it!!!
Is she trying to test my patience???
It’s been more than thirty minutes but I still haven’t seen her. Did she fool me and sneak off with that dickhead???
No!!!
She wouldn’t dare. I’ll fucking kill him!!! I’ll maim him and skin him alive.
“Where the fuck is she??” I asked Celine in anger. She didn’t respond to my question. I was just about to fly into a rage, Brian and Derek took on a defensive stance immediately.
They could obviously feel the change in my mood and they think that Falcon has taken control. They know that if am allowed to go out there again, I’ll never stop until Falcon rips him apart.
“Come on Mike, you can’t let falcon out right now. You can’t let yourself get in trouble with the council. We know you want my mate, trust me, we’ll do anything to help you get her by your side, but we have to be smart about it, don’t let him out man. He’ll cause a lot of damage and she may also get hurt.” Brian pleaded calmly.
He’s actually right. My parents would have their eyes on me and it would be so bad if they get a bad report about me. I’ve known Brian since we were kids and I wouldn’t be lying if I said that this is the first time he’s actually saying something as meaningful as this. He’s always kidding around and making weird jokes.
I’ll have to remember to thank him later. As I listened to his words, I tried to suppress my anger and stay calm. Am sure the girls won’t let her leave without my permission. “They’ll be here soon.” I said to myself.
At that very moment, the door pushed right open and she walked right in with the girls following closely behind her.
The air in the room became tense as she walked forward with her head held high like a queen. She gazed directly at me, looking so tough and unfazed.
“She really is a queen.” I said to myself. She should be scared me right now but she just isn’t scared and her boldness is kind of turning me on right now.
“Leave us,” I ordered my friends with my eyes still locked on hers.
“Come on man!!
You’re joking right??
You can’t kick out this way, !!!
And here I was thinking we are friends!!
You’re no fun at all!!”
I chuckled lightly as they kept whining and complaining as they all walked out of the room.
“Don’t fuck with me guys. I know that you are still out there eavesdropping.
Leave!!!
Right Now!!!” I ordered through our mind link. They kept nagging and teasing me as they finally went away.
“We’re heading back to the restaurant. Try not to scare the shit out of her.” Celine said in a sassy tone.
“The warriors are back from the woods. What should I do??” Derek asked me. I’ve forgotten about the guys that I sent to comb the woods around the house. When we were asked to leave the house, I only left with my friends. The warriors stayed back to comb the woods just like I instructed. I guess the woods was a lot bigger than we had imagined because It’s been more than nine hours and they are just getting back.
“Handle it Reks. I’ll get the report from you later on. I need to sort out my difference with my mate.” I responded brusquely.
“What do you want from me???” she asked in a weak and sad tone that totally contradicts her tough look. It almost looks like her tough look is just a charade.
I closed all links with my friends as I turned back my attention to her. Her usual scent mixed with the scent of her arousal is so intoxicating and exciting. She’s squeezing her legs together, trying so hard to control her urges. I could also feel the throbbing of my dick as it begins to rise but I had to push my desires behind so I can get her to listen to me.
“First cupcakes, I want you to lose the attitude. It doesn’t suit you, and personally, I can’t stand it anymore.
Why are you pushing me away??
I know you can feel the bond as much as I feel it. What I just can’t understand is why you keep denying the bond.” I said in frustration.
She did not respond to my questions and she is trying to avoid looking at me again. I think I just hit a nerve when I pointed it out that she feels the bond. I decided to start afresh.
“Look cupcakes, I really don’t want to force you to be my mate, but that doesn’t mean that am letting you go, love. Trust me, am this close to ripping your friend apart. No one touches my mate, no one. so you had better keep to your promise and behave or I’ll be forced to let my beast out on your friends.” I said strictly, sounding a little threatening.
“So let’s start afresh cupcakes,
Am Michael Angelo. What is your name??” I asked with a small smile?
“Do I have have a choice??” she asked in annoyance.
“No cupcakes, you ain’t got a choice.” I smirked.
“Stop calling me cupcakes.” she yelled to my face getting all worked up. I leaned closer to her as I whispered in her ears,
“I can’t help it cupcakes. That’s how you smell my love and it’s so intoxicating and satisfying. I really want to eat you up like cupcakes, “Oh, how I love those delicious cupcakes!! I could eat them forever and I’ll never get tired.
I want you to be my cupcakes,” I tease her in a sexy baritone, making her moan softly as she leans closer to me, enjoying the warmth from our closeness.
I decided to take advantage of our cozy position. I brought my face forward and tipped my head sideways and I captured her lips in a passionate kiss. She kissed me back just as passionately and we both got lost in the moment kissing so passionately that we both forgot about everything else.
My hands were all over her body and she wrapped her hands around my neck as she responded eagerly to my kiss. Too eagerly if I might add. She obviously wants this as much as I do but what could she be running from???
I grudgingly broke our first kiss so I could find out more about her. She whined at the loss of contact and I chuckled at her reaction as I placed my forehead on hers and smiled down at her.
“What is your name??” I asked her with . y smile still plastered on my face.
“We can’t do this Alpha Michael… It’ll get me exposed, it’ll destroy you. Please Alpha Michael, you have to let me go. You have to reject me, please Alpha Michael. I don’t want to be found.” she pleaded softly with eyes filled with tears.
I guess I was right when I said that she is one of the rogues. She knows that am not a part of them, that’s why she wants to get rid of me. She’s just scared of putting me in trouble a d getting exposed. If only she knows that I don’t care about her past.
“Look, I don’t really care about your past. The moon goddess made you for me and I want you as mine. I Am favored by the king. I can get you a pardon from the king if you promise to cut all contacts with the rogues. I’ll make sure nobody hurts you, I promise. You just have to be honest with me and tell me everything I need to know about you.”
For some unknown reason, her tears spilled over and flowed down her cheeks as she smiled sadly at me and said,
“I am not a part of the rebellious rogues Alpha. I have never offended anyone in my whole life. My only crime was having a rebellious father. If you must know,
My name is Arabella Wellington Am the only daughter of the famous white wolf, Brandon Wellington. My father challenged the king and got himself killed. Being his daughter is the only crime I’ve ever committed.
So you see Alpha Michael, am a traitors daughter. That’s why we can’t be together.” She said with a sad smile that broke my heart over and over and over again as I realized that it’s her. It’s been her all along,
It’s Arabella.
