You Owe Me
“And you don’t know me too so it's a tie,” I replied and she just gnawed on my teeth angrily, glaring at the door in front of her and trying to pretend that she was not in the same room as me. As if I was invisible and there was a wall between us.
But I could tell, behind those snarky remarks and snappy replies, from the trembling of her hands that she’s just been afraid all along….
“Aren’t you scared?” I suddenly asked through the silence and she pretended not to hear me. I cleared my throat and repeated myself, “Hey are you deaf? I asked you a question.”
“If you want to talk to someone, got talk to the trees, atleast they’ll listen.”
I inhaled and exhaled deeply, “You know I am being kind and offering you company here.”
“Well, stop being kind, woman! if you are not the Lycan king ace’s woman then I might have already snapped your head into two.”
I didn’t know how high the position Ace has for them to regard him as Lycan King as if he’s royalty or something….but the way they would always mention that in front of me baffles me.
I clutched my chest at her outburst. Geez, Ace mentioned she’s a rogue right? And I just recently learned that it means she has been pushed away from her pack. I do not know the reason, but that is such great discrimination. If she were in human society, that must be equivalent to getting shunned away from the public like being "Cancelled".
Awe, aside from her pack Ace's Crimson Pack, the werewolf world seems to be not that different from humans.
So this explains the bad attitude. “Tsk, you really have anger issues, do you?”
“And you really have a prying nose, do you?” She fired back.
I decided to ignore her comment and changed the topic, “So are you scared of losing your mate?”
“I’m not scared. I’m angry if he just passes away like that. I would bring him back to hell if I have to just to see him breathe again if that append. That damn Kai has many debts to me. He owes me my revenge and yet he still hasn't given it to me.”
I could relate to her. I could see myself in the early stages….I was like that, rejecting Ace and denying his whole being and destiny for me. But look at us now.
As she said that, I couldn’t help but have this silly smile appear on my face, "You love him."
That took her aback and she took a step back, "No, I don't."
“Yes, you do. Tsk, you're just like me." I said, reading through her.
Behind that snarky remarks, she’s just a scared woman like me. “Don’t worry I won’t tell him.”
Before I knew it, she instantly walked fast to me and gripped my neck but then, the door opened, and my mate Lycan King Ace appeared.
“What is happening here?” His deep voice boomed the whole room and both of us topped in our tracks. Her hands were hung up in the air that seems to look like she was about to slap me dropped and I stood up properly. I stood relaxed and Alpha Ace came to my side as his hand snaked around my waist protectively. “Did she hurt you, my love?”
She raised her eyebrows at me, waiting if I would lie to him.
Well, given that she verbally abused and threatened me…she didn’t physically abuse me…well, almost…
Anyways, I do not want her to get f*cked up once Alpha Ace decided that she abused me, his mate.
“No.” I suddenly replied, knowing he would read my emotions yet I blatantly lied to him.
I cleared my throat, trying to take a peek inside and wanting to change the topic, “Anyways, what is the condition inside?”
“I cannot say for certain.” He only replied, glazing at Arya’s reaction.
She nodded, glancing at me as I gave her this expression that says,
“You owe me.”
Because that’s true. She owes me her life. At the very least, she should act nice to me now.
She just rolled my eyes, not able to say anything to me, and fire back again since my mate is just beside me.
"Who's Arya?" I jumped at the sudden question from inside. It was one of the pack doctors, looking around us and guessing.
"Me." She instantly stepped forward, waiting for his instruction.
He had this sad expression as he says, "He wanted you to stay there. “We’re losing him.”
My eyes widened, glancing at her as she gulped, looking unfazed but I couldn’t miss out on the sudden stiffness of her breathing.
I couldn’t help but feel nervous about her too.
Gosh, I pray to the heavens that she will be alright if ever her mate would go….dead. Because from what I heard, it would make them insane if he did indeed die.
Ace pulled me to the side as soon as Arya entered the tent, leaving me with Ace alone. He then leaned into me, “Keep it a secret, but he’s alive…Kai is being dramatic.”
I gasped and Ace put his lips on my mouth to silence me, “Do not make it obvious. He just wants to frighten his mate.”
“No way, That Kai friend of yours sounds too…dramatic. If I were Arya, I would have already killed him myself once I know that!” I whisper and yelled and hit him playfully to the sides.
“Ow! You know I am the king of the werewolves in the Europe region, everyone fears me, Kira, and yet, here you are, hitting me!” He playfully teased and I rolled my eyes at that.
Tsk, compared to the attacks he endured, any attack of mine only feels like an ant pinched him a little! I know how weak I am!
“Ohh I know. I don’t have to guess why you are treated here like royalty.” I giggled, knowing only I could do it.
Ace just tickled me to the side, “Wait! Stop!” I couldn’t help but let out giggles and moaned when his hands reached my breasts.
His breathing suddenly become ragged, and he pierced me with his gaze.
I gulped, feeling his warm breath fanning my ears, “I’ve missed hearing that, baby.”
I bit my lip and he gently caressed my cheek, “Don’t do that.”
“Do what?” I asked innocently, knowing clearly what he meant yet I repeated it. I bit my lip, giving him so puppy eyes and he groaned in frustration as if he couldn’t help himself.
“You’re lips. It drives me insane.”
