I knew I’d have to talk to her. Even if I couldn’t tell her the truth, I could kind of explain this crap.
“Well I wonder what he’d think, knowing what you were fucking up to.”
“Or you’re just fucking jealous that you didn’t get there first,” I growled.
He tensed, and I felt a flare of anger. So, I was fucking right… I scoffed, irritated that he saw her like that. I was about to say more when I stopped. What could I say? It wasn’t like she was mine.
“Stay the fuck away from her,” I hissed.
“Don’t tell me what to do. I’m sure Alpha Rayhan would love to know that his best friend has been messing around with his sister at the first chance he got,” he muttered venomously. My eyes flashed, and I slammed him against the wall in a rage. He wasn’t wrong… I had fucked up… big fucking time.
“Stay out of my way, Blake, or I swear I won’t forgive you,” I growled, walking off.
I sighed. Yeah, I messed up.
Raihana had organised a small party to welcome Delsanra, and it seemed like the girls expected me there. The only problem: I had been avoiding Raihana since the day before. We should never have gone there… the pent-up emotions between us had just gotten out of control.
“Chris! Seriously, can you make yourself useful? Rayhan will be here in the next fifteen minutes; can you please grab the food that we ordered? James said they just took it from the delivery guy.”
“Then get him to deliver it here. I’m not a delivery boy, Lola,” I shot back. She gave me a sceptical look.
Don’t push it, Chris, I still need to talk to you. The state you were in yesterday, and the marks on Raihana’s neck… you fucked up big time,she mind-linked me.
It takes two,I shot back coldly.
But we all know your antics. She can’t be one of your escapades. Ever.
I fucking know.
I walked off. I’d rather get the damn delivery than face Lola and Raihana. I had fucked up big time, and this time around, even my best friend wouldn’t be on my side.
Delsanra
Darkness had fallen, and we left the gorgeous cabin. Rayhan had told me it belonged to his family, and we could return at any time. I would miss it, and it would forever remain a special place in my heart… This is where I was marked and, as Rayhan called it, ‘mated.’
I figured it was going to take me time to get used to the werewolf terminology of things. My head rested on Rayhan’s shoulder as he drove across the borders of pack territory. Strangely, I could sense the heartbeats and the rush of blood from passing guards. I had to shake my head to clear my senses a few times.
I made sure my spell was still in place. For the time being, I was going to pretend to be human. I just hoped no one saw through me like the King.
I was dressed in an off-shoulder purple top that clung to me like a second skin and a pair of dark grey skinny jeans. It was clear the Queen loved clothes that showed off one’s figure. Rayhan drank it up every chance he got, and I wouldn’t deny that I liked it. The way he looked at me had him losing his self-control, and watching his eyes flash from green to grey was rather fascinating.
The only pieces of jewellery I was wearing were the bracelet that Rayhan had put on me yesterday and a pair of studs that Kiara had picked out.
“It’s going to be okay,” Rayhan said, making my stomach flutter at the sound of his voice. Oh god, this bond has amplified everything.
“I know. It’s still nerve-wracking.”
“Tonight, it’s just Chris, Lola, Rose, and Raihana. You’ve met the other three; I’m sure you and Raihanawill have enough in common.” He gave me a wink, leaning down and kissing my lips. I couldn’t stop the moan that escaped my lips, not caring that he was driving. I didn’t want to part from his lips. He forced himself back, looking at the road before quickly stealing another kiss.
“We’re here.” His words sent my stomach into a knot of frenzy, and I looked up at the…
“Wow, what is that?” I paled.
“That is our home, Kitten,” he chuckled, parking the car.
I couldn’t speak, staring up at the luxurious palace before me. It was by far the biggest, most gorgeous, magical building I had ever seen, and suddenly I felt so small and unworthy. I suddenly understood what Kiara had meant; the Lycan King’s home was modest in comparison to the marble palace before me, with its balconies, pillars, fountains, and the waterfall that cascaded down one of the walls.
Oh hell... I suddenly felt even smaller...
