Page 152 of Her Destined Alpha
“Liam… you should go home.”
“Don’t tell me what to do, Rayhan.”
“She’s your mate.”
“You know I don’t share,” Liam countered, the controlled anger made me want to go and shield my alpha from him, but I knew he could hold his own.
“I know... but by staying away, is it helping?”
“I gave her a chance, Rayhan.” He sounded anguished.
“Still... I know I always agreed with you, but now that I’ve met mine… I can’t even imagine the shit you’re going through. You’ve changed, Liam, and you need her.”
“I don’t need her, nor do I need anyone,” Liam growled. “Look, Ray, I did what you needed me to, I’m out of here.”
“Sure, thanks, man.”
I quickly stood up the moment I heard the door shut and ran to the door, unlocking it. I yanked it open just as Rayhan was about to walk towards it. He was showered and changed. I didn’t even want to think of the state he had probably been in before this.
I flung my arms around his neck, locking my legs around his waist, my heart pounding, just glad he was home, with me. His strong arms wrapped around me tightly, and he stroked my back.
“I missed you, Kitten.”
“I missed you too,” I whispered.
It terrified me how not even twelve hours apart had been so hard. I kissed his neck, inhaling his scent. He had showered, and the smell of body wash was strong. I ran my fingers through his hair, kissing his neck repeatedly.
“Hey… I’m sorry, I won’t leave you for that long again,” he murmured, tugging me back. He kissed my lips with that deep passion that always rendered me lightheaded and left me aching for more. I returned it with equal gusto, relishing in the pleasure he gave to me. I could never get enough of him.
“I’m super sleepy and, thanks to you spoiling me, I can’t sleep alone anymore.”
“Good, it means you need me,” he replied with a cocky smile.
“I will always need you. So don’t put yourself in danger because of me,” I whispered, cupping his face. I stared into those gorgeous grey eyes.
“I won’t.”
And I believed him. At least for me, I hoped he wouldn’t. I wrapped my arms around him tighter, kissing him deeply.
The following day, Rayhan and I were on our way back to a certain part of the King’s lands. It was where we would be performing the spell to summon Janaina. I just hoped we succeeded.
I had asked Rayhan about Liam, and he had told me about the situation with his mate. I had been shocked; I felt sorry for the woman, too. Right then, she had neither of her mates, according to Rayhan. I wondered what went through the Moon Goddess’s mind. Why would she cause so much pain to her wolves?
We soon arrived at the open forest. Looking around, I saw that Alejandro’s car was already there. Raihana stood leaning against it, sipping away at her water bottle.
“Finally, you guys have arrived. What the fuck took so long?” the King asked, a cold look on his face.
“We aren’t actually that late. Chill the fuck out,” Rayhan shot back coldly.
“So, let’s get to this shit then.”
I looked between them suspiciously, wondering what exactly happened between them.
“Seriously, did the location have to be here? The ground was so hard to walk on!” Raihana complained after she gave Rayhan and me a tight hug. I glanced at her shoes, noticing she was wearing three-inch heels.No wonder it was hard to walk…
“Diva much?” Rayhan asked her with a slight smirk.
“Alright, got all the shit needed?” the King asked.
