" Please don't. " I pleaded . This hurt . He didn't realise what he was doing to me . Did he just think I was ok with casual sex ? Yes, I did engage with Damon like that, but that was so different from what I felt for Alejandro . The attraction towards him often felt like it would consume me completely . The way his hands gripped my hips, the way his scent made me dizzy in a pleasant way and the ache in my core , begging to be satisfied by him .

He paused , to my surprise , searching my eyes . I was near tears and I hated feeling like this." Don't make me fall for you , when I am nothing to you . * I whispered . I didn’t know why I said it . For him to just mock me ? This was what he wanted , right ? I didn't really know ; I wasn't blind t o the fact that he was different towards m e but it wasn't enough to give in when he was engaged to Jasmin .

I don't even know what I wanted from him . 1 He let go of me and I could hear his heart racing . The fact that he listened ... And didn't just force himself ... “ Thank you . " I whispered . I squeezed past him, closing my eyes when I brushed against him completely t o get out . Was he really letting me go ? I paused , looking back at him . His face was unreadable , and for once, he was silent . I didn’t know what to make of it. My heart was pounding as I placed my hand on his cheek , the same place I had slapped him , feeling the slight prickle of his stubble and the definition of his refined jaw beneath my fingertips .

Feeling him tense under my touch . 1“ I shouldn't have slapped you , I'm sorry . * I said quietly . 2 I hoped this was the last of our odd run ins . I couldn't keep doing this . I was about to open the door when suddenly his strong arms wrapped around me from behind . My eyes widened as I gasped in surprise . My heart was thumping . Why did his hold feel so ... perfect ? I closed my eyes, wishing I could just stay here , but I knew I couldn't . He ran his hands down my arms softly, leaving a trail of tingles in his wake , burying his nose in my neck and inhaling me deeply . I was beyond confused , unable to comprehend what this was .

When had the Lycan King ever shown such gentleness ? My eyes blurred with tears at the foreign pain that was building in my chest . Why did this feel like a goodbye ? His lips met the corner of my neck so softly I wondered if I imagined it . Pleasure coursed through me , laced with the pain that this was not meant to be . I gasped as the first of my tears spilt down my cheeks . His arms loosened around me and he turned me in his arms . He cupped my face just how he had last night and brushed my tears away with his thumbs .

I couldn't read those dark onyx eyes of his . ” I won't bother you again . I forget that not everyone's a fucking heartless monster like me . ” He said quietly , making me shake my head . He wasn't a monster, and he wasn't heartless . I wish I could say something, but I couldn't tell him when I was trying t o hold my tears back . There was so much more to him , just waiting to be discovered *** "I won't bother you from here on out . You're reckless , beautiful and fucking strong . More than that .. You're perfect the way you are . Always remember that . * He whispered .

My heart was pounding and if I was scared to fall for him, then it was too late . He had already made a space in my heart for himself . I'd never forget those words, their sincerity ... Saying I was perfect just the way I am ... That part hit me the hardest. One thing about Alejandro was that he said it as it is . He leant down and placed a soft kiss on my forehead . Wiping away a few more tears , before he let go of me and opened the door behind me . I closed my eyes . Why did this feel like the end ? Something inside me was screaming at m e to stop him , to tell him to give me a chance ? But what would that do ? He brushed past me , his dark eyes meeting mine one final time before he walked out . My eyes didn't leave his broad back , with his muscular arms and narrow waist . He walked with power and you could see that he was the ultimate Alpha, but he was more than the heartless Lycan King everyone made him out to be .

I knew that much . He protected the werewolf race . If he didn't care , he could have just lived a life of luxury and chilled as the King, but he didn’t. He chose to protect those weaker than him . Did everyone forget that when they called him ruthless and cold hearted ? He didn't turn back and I remained rooted in my place . The Lycan King and I were two very different people . Somehow , we had a connection, but there was nothing more between us .

There couldn't be . We were worlds apart . I turned away , brushing my tears from my cheeks , I needed to be strong . It was for the best. Deep down, I still couldn't make sense of Alejandro’s actions , but I wasn't heal . going to delve into them . I had patients to heal . The day had passed by in a blur . 1 went to all the injured , some whilst they slept, others were awake . Secretly healing them . a little . I could feel it catching up on me but I made sure not to overexert myself or I'd never hear the end of it . I even saw Carmen in one of the beds . The doctors said she was stable and that was a relief t o hear . I didn't like her, but that did not mean she deserved death . T Valentin had also been discharged , as he was more worried about his mate .

I was a little gutted as I wanted to see him, but I was just so happy he was ok and that he was with his mate . The entire pack seemed to know about what had happened with Carmen , yet no one dared talk about it . The fear they felt o f their King was palpable and his rule was absolute . Although the day had been progressive, m y mind was consumed by the moment I had with Alejandro earlier . The way he had held me, spoke to me and kissed me ... I had returned to the mansion and couldn't even smell him around . It looked like he hadn't come home today . I had showered and taken a nap before I had been awoken by Raven to say that we were going to go see Aunty Indy . I was excited about that and hoped it would lift my mood too .

Now dressed in a pretty blue skater dress , I made my way with Raven to her apartment. ” Are you sure she said to come ? "I asked curiously . ” Yes , she texted in the group chat.” Oops, I had it on silent. ” I said guiltily . We reached the block of apartments and made our way up the steps to Aunty Indy’s door . The door was opened before we could even knock, by a very big man . He had a small beard , his dirty blond hair pulled u p in a high ponytail . His piercing brown eyes looked us both over before he pushed past and walked off . I felt something was off .

That strange feeling that I often got overcame me, I didn't get a good feeling from him . * Girls I Aunty Indy said . Bringing me out of my thoughts, as she pulled us both into a tight hug . “ Ouchie ! " Raven exclaimed , hugging us tightly . “ Shouldn't I be the one saying ouchie ? " I said . “ I mean , you both are crushing me.” “ Well, it's not our fault that you have extra fat in those breasts of yours . “ Aunty Indy teased . 1 I looked at her amused ; unlike Mom , she was leaner , with defined abs and slightly tanned skin . Her black pixie cut suited her well and she had several piercings in her ears , as well as in her nose and eyebrow . I smiled .

This was Raven's role model growing up . ” So , get inside . We have a lot to catch up on.” She said ." Yes, we do ! When did you get back ? ” Raven asked , as we stepped into the apartment that was decorated in the modern interior that I was beginning to get accustomed to here . This apartment had a very homely touch , with a deep terracotta that was incorporated in ornaments , cushions and other homely touches

The delicious smell of chicken and vegetables baking in the oven from the kitchen area was ever so pleasant and I realised I had missed lunch . ” Last night actually . * Aunty Indy replied . I didn't say that I had heard her talking to Alejandro, but I was curious as to why he seemed to have shown a different side of himself towards her. ” Oh nice , soooo what's the latest ? ” Raven questioned , dropping onto the black leather sofa. “ Well, life's an adventure, getting to see different cities and towns . ” Aunty Indigo said . ” Gosh , when is the last time we actually saw you ? " I asked sitting down . "I think it's been over 6 months . * Aunty Indy said , giving us a small smile . I smiled back . ” I wish you could have visited more . “ Raven said .” I don't think Scarlett or Angela miss me much . ” She laughed . ” They do , Mom may not say it, but you are her little sister . “ I said with a small smile .I saw her smile falter slightly and I wondered what that was about. ” So enough about me . The food will be done soon, but before that, tell me how's the stay in the Night Walkers pack going ? “ She asked , standing up .

She went over to the fridge and took out three cans of Coca — Cola . She tossed one t 0 each of us and I caught mine , tapping the top with my nail several times before opening it — a trick Dad taught me years ago . I smiled softly , feeling a twinge in my chest . I had seen Mom's missed calls and Dad's messages , but I was really bad them tonight . with my phone . I promised myself I'd call glancing at me . ” The stay is going kinda ok ... “ Raven said " Really ? Serena told me that Alpha Al attacked Rayhan ... “ Aunty Indy said sharply . " Yeah, I mean, apart from that stuff it's been good . Raven said smoothly , opening her can and taking a big gulp . “ It's been great, I mean for me, being able to help at the hospital is amazing . " I said , before I went on to talk to her about my abilities , telling her I had to keep it secret. Once I was done, we had finished carrying the food to the coffee table and all sat down to eat .

"So, Aunty Indy tell us, do you know Jasmin ? The Kings “ fiancé ? ” Raven asked . For some reason , the smile that appeared on Aunty Indy’s face made my stomach sink . “ I'm so glad he finally accepted her, them two go really well . ” She said . “ Honestly , h e took way too long to accept her. "11" You think so ? “ Raven asked , glancing at me . It was clear she wasn't expecting this answer . ” Definitely , I don't think there's anyone else more suited for our King . *
