Her Freezing Heart

After some time he pulled away and looked straight in my eyes. His arms were still around me. His eyes were back to his beautiful green self. He was looking at me with so much love that I wanted to hide myself away.

"You never seem to amaze me." he said to me smiling.

I grinned at him and tried to get up but he won't let go.

"Do you mind?" I asked gesturing towards him arms.

He got up with me in tow. He just wouldn't let me go. He placed his arms loosely over my waist and looked at Cassidy with shame in his eyes. I didn't even notice when the force field was taken down. Cassidy didn't even pay him the slightest attention. She was gaping at me in wonder and a little under tone of irritation. Grayson on the other hand was glaring Steven down. I think I did something again. I chuckled nervously.

"H...How?" She managed to say.

"What are you talking about?" I asked nervously shifting from foot to foot.

Austin was no different than Cassidy. Grayson was more focused on Steven but it felt like he was doing it on purpose. Aaron on the other hand looked amused.

"How the heck did you pass through the force field?" She more like screeched.

Her emotions had drastically shifted to irritation. Steven hissed lowly in his throat but she ignored him completely.

"I don't know?" I replied more like a question.

"Let it be. What is going on between you two?" She asked narrowing her eyes.

Steven pulled me possessively towards him. Even I don't know what is going on in between us.

"We are dating." Steven replied to her but she glared him down.

It's wonderful to see how a big bad vampire becomes a nervous wreck in front of this lady.

"Dating you say? This does not look like dating to me. You were acting like someone tried to steal your mate." Cassidy snapped back.

Yeah I want to know about that too.

"I don't know what took over me either. When Aaron said he will take her away, I just lost control." He gritted out. "I don't like the idea of her going away from me. She is mine."

I felt like a property in that moment. I can't understand his behavior. He was acting like a mate acts towards theirs. He is possessive over my freaking ass. Even more possessive than Asher. The only person he comes close to in this competition is Ryder and papa. No one can compare to their level of possessiveness though.

"He was just asking to borrow me for like a chat or something. I live there Steven I have to go to my apartment at some point." I tried to reason with him.

I mean come on.

"You can live with me." he argued back.

"No I can't. I live there and I am going to live there. You have no say in that. We just started dating. I am not moving in with you dude. Come on." I snapped.

"Are you leaving me?" he looked so vulnerable.

"I am not leaving you. I am just going to my place to spend some time with my best friend. Besides I live there so I am just going home like a normal person would. That's not a big deal." I reasoned with him. "But he is a guy." He argued.

"And he likes dicks which I clearly don't possess. Why are we even talking about this anyways? What has gotten into you?" I asked.

"You are not leaving me?" he asked expectantly.

"No. I am just going to my apartment."

I was getting irritated with every passing second. Why does every man in my life have to be overly possessive like I am some china doll and can't take care of myself?

"You will be back then."

I nodded.

"Kay." He said half heartedly.

Why the hell does it hurt to see him like that?

"Oh my goodness! What the hell did you do to him?" Cassidy shrieked.

She is shrieking a lot lately. I was quite offended by her question though.

"I didn't do anything to him. I just healed him." I replied hurt at her accusation.

"He is back to normal." Austin said awe struck.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked confused.

"He is showing emotions. He hasn't done that since..." He trailed on.

"That's a good thing right?" I was getting confused more and more.

"Off course it's a good thing." Cassidy snapped.

Steven glared at her.

"What the heck is your problem? Are you not happy that he is healed? I am a healer. That's what I do. I heal people." I replied quite snappily.

"I am happy that he is getting better. I tried everything I can but that never worked. I am mad because I can't figure out what you are and I am sure as hell you are not just any other healer. They are already very scarce to come by and here you are doing things without breaking any sweat what I worked to achieve for ages. Do you have any idea you just broke through my most powerful force field." Cassidy said sulkily.

Grayson chuckled behind her but covered it in a cough when she glared at him.

"I don't care what I am and neither does my pack. Besides that's not the first force field I entered. Maybe it's because of papa." I told her. "Which force field did you enter?" She asked her eye twitching madly. "I can't read your mind anymore. What did you do? How?"

She is really starting to scare me. Grayson tried to stop her advancing towards me but she shrugged him off.

"I am not telling you that." I told her with finality.

It's my family secret. No way in the hell am I telling anyone that.

"Tell me." she said taking a hold of me and shaking me wildly.

She looked to have lost her mind. Even Steven couldn't pry her off of me. She was really getting on my nerve. I don't know what happened next but something took over my body. The golden light from the clearing was back and it was surrounding my body like earlier. It was coming from inside me. One moment Cassidy was shaking me wildly and the next moment I was holding her up by her neck but my body wasn't in my control.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
