how could you?
Azaria's POV
I gasped. I clasped a hand over my mouth. What did I just do? I mean did I ? Did I just..
He deserves it. A second part of me said.
I nodded as I tried to convince myself but the mere thought of what he did flashed through my mind and I was enraged.
Nicholas flexed his jaw as I glared at him. I was worried I must have hurt him but seeing that dirty lop sided grin made me scowl.
"Okay I deserve that" he said.
"And more" I said in gritted teeth. He nodded. I glared at him and walked away. The owls and crickets did their thing. I didn't know where to go but I didn't want to stay with him either.
"Where are you going?" I heard him yell.
I turned around and gave him the middle finger.
"Azaria!"
"Don't call me!" I yelled. I turned around to find him coming at me.
"Sod off" I glared at him any continued walking.
" Where do you think you are going to?"
"It's none of your business but if you must know, I'm going far far away from you. Don't follow me!"
Nicholas went quiet as we walked.I waited for him to speak but he didn't say a word. Suddenly I stopped.
"You know you irk me" I spat. He nodded. His face deadpan.
"Bring it in" he muttered.
"You knew I was your mate and you let me suffer. You let me be the butt of all jokes in the pack"
"I'm sorry"
"That's too late. You can't fix everything with just sorry" I barked and continued walking in the words.
"It was for your own good" he said.
I turned. " Yeah right, what could have happened huh? " And I continued walking. The trees shook like there was this strong breezeand the next thing I knew he was standing right in front of me. I blinked. Could he do that?
"Vent"
"What?"
"Vent. Rant. Tell me how you feel?" I scrunched up my brows.
"I might be pissed but the last thing I want to do is talk to you" I said and began walking away. He grabbed my hands and kept me in place. Nicholas looked me in the eye and I squirmed. The anger that had clouded my senses had fallen off. I screamed in my head.
I was standing right in front of Nicholas Sinclair.
The Nicholas Sinclair. The bad boy alpha.
What was I to do. I looked away. Stared at my feet.
"Hey hey" I looked up at him.
"Look at me whenever you want to talk to me." He said.
"Why?"
"I need to see your eyes" he said. Suddenly I began to feel hot. Damn! He was too good looking up close. His eyes. Wow.
I swallowed. My throat had suddenly gone dry. I licked my lips and was tempted to vent like he said,but I suddenly remembered what he had done to me.
He had punished me with his silence. I stayed with no mate for years,but he was mine and he did nothing.
I shoved him aside.
"Don't come close to me!" I ran and he ran after me.
"Where are you going?!" I heard him shout in that Baritone I always play in my head. I didn't answer him as I increased my pace.
"you are horrible! Stay away from me!" I shrieked as I ran. Tears began to spill from my eyes but I wiped it off immediately. I didn't know why I was crying but I remembered the last time I was bullied. He stopped it quite alright. He taught those people a lesson but only if he told me, I wouldn't have to go through all that.
I thought I was far away as I didn't get to hear him again. Just as I was about to turn, huge hands grabbed me and picked me up. I turned to find out that it was him.
"Let me go! Put me down!" I screamed. He did just that but he was standing in front of me. He took a step closer, closing the gap between us.
I pushed him away.
"Where are you going to?!" If you leave here, you would be as good as dead" he warned.
"Where I go is none of your business" I said in clenched teeth.
"Get it into your head that where you go is absolutely my business, no matter how you try to shy away from it" he said with a look that suggested anger.
He gazed into my eyes. If looks could burn, I would definitely be on fire.
His eyes made me so aware of myself. Suddenly I looked away. I couldn't take the intensity of his stares. He chuckled.
He knew I was still shy. Yes I have been shy, since I can remember. I actually think that I would need therapy to be able to look into his eyes. I always felt like, people were judging me, assessing me, which was why I always looked away. My shyness got the best of me when I had a thing for the said person. I wouldn't even go close not to talk of speaking to him.
"Are you pissed at me?" he said in deep, soothing voice. As he said this, he gently used the tip of his finger to turn my face towards him. I looked away again. This time he didn't make me look into his face.
"You insult me by asking such a question" I fumed. I pushed him. " Let me be Nicholas!"
"No! I will not!" he said as he used his hands to barricade me, by putting them beside my head on the tree. I looked up at him and I became furious, then I said the first thing that came to my mind.
"is it because I am not as beautiful as the other Girls?"
"What?" he said.
"Yeah is it because I am not useful to the pack, that you think you can keep such important information from me" my anger was making me bolder.
"Don't be ridiculous, its–" I cut him off.
"I don't want to hear it" I jabbed a finger on his chest. " You know I was been bullied for not having a mate and you were my mate all along, You know what?I would have preferred being called out and rejected and I might get a second chance mate rather than—"
He grabbed my head and slammed his lips on mine. My brain turner to jelly.
