Revenge

Clary's POV

"I can't let you go, Clary..." His voice was deep and I could sense that he was controlling himself for something I am not sure of.

I gulped at his words, it is making me weak and fragile. I cannot be the same woman again, I cannot be that same girl again being so smitten by him. Things have definitely changed right now, a lot of things had happened and I couldn't turn blind eye from those.

I couldn't turn my back away from my child.

"Let go of me!" I screamed once again, unable to think of something that I should say. I shouldn't be emotional over his words, he was always full of riddles and look how it took me. I cannot be that weak again.

I tried to shake off his hand from my arm again, but his grip was tight and I couldn't let go of it...or I am not just using my full force to get away from him. I am not sure if I really want to leave or I am just convincing myself to think that I want to leave him.

The hell with his facial expressions that make me want to give in and surrender everything that I have planned for. Damn him and every words that he is saying. I couldn't be this weak, not again...but all these feelings are just too overwhelming and I couldn't just ignore it.

"Let us go home, please..." He begged. He begged as he say those words, I could see that in his eyes and facial expression. His voice also sounded that he was begging. I could not believed it, I never expected him to beg for something that not so important to him.

I could not believe him looking that he was begging for someone who have no use for him, not when he is planning on marrying someone.

I shook my head, unbelieving his words and his facial expression. When did he learned to act like this? Why does it look like it is genuine? I should not believe him. I cannot be like that anymore.

Home? There was no home in that place where is belonging to. What does he want? For me to return in that kingdom and be killed again by his mate? To ensure that I will not be having any motives or plans with the woman that he is planning to marry?

Home sounded ridiculous. Was he not aware for the life that I have to live just to be in that place?

It only ignited my anger, all the inhibitions and fragility that I am feeling earlier has suddenly vanished. He knows nothing and he will never understand me. He will never understand a mother like me who has lost her child because her own sister was too selfish to marry the Alpha. He will never understand those sentiments. How could he come here and say those things?

He shook his head while gulping when he saw my facial expression. He look terrified, "you want here, we'll stay here..." It did not sounded like he was ordering. It sounded that he is still begging and I am amaze with the fact that he can act like that.

"Baby, let's talk about it..." he said with his eyes still looking terrified. His eyes is still bloodshot and I couldn't look for it for few minutes, I cannot see him looking like that. I can't be fooled by my eyes.

"Who are you?" I asked, with the plan on my mind. I am different person now, people in this place knows me with different name. I am addressed with different name.

'Right...I should do that.' I said to myself, trying to convince myself that I am doing things right and that I can get out of here...out of his grip and out of his deceiving words and facial expressions.

His grip tightened and his mouth flew slightly open. He looked confused with my question and his eyes darkened as I said those words. I could see that he was thinking deeply.

"I think you are mistaken." I added to make him more confused.

Xylo's POV

"I think you are mistaken." She said with the amusement lingering in her eyes.

I want to beg on my knees and ask her to stop whatever she is saying, I want to seal her lips full of lies with a kiss.

Damn, heaven knows how much I miss her.

"I am not the woman you are talking about...I don't know you." She added as I look at her.

Her lips are starting to get dirty with those words coming out and it is making my chest feel heavy. Was she angry with me that she needed to tell those lies? Is she angry with me? Those questions made my heart ache because I really missed her and she is doing everything just to get rid of me.

"Stop it, Clary." I said, frustration is probably evident in my voice. I am a fool for her but she cannot fool me with those filthy lies. I know her, I know everything about her.

I cannot be mistaken, she may be wearing different clothes now and she may look tough outside but I know that it is her. Her scent is also lingering in my nose, it is Clary.

She was a bit surprised but she immediately covered her emotions. She seems to be different now, something has definitely changed with her and I cannot pinpoint what changed...All I could say is that I missed her and that I am thankful that she is alive. I really am.

"Stop with lies, Clary...Let's talk about it, were you angry with me?" I don't know how I sounded with those words, but I want us to stop talking about nonsense.

I don't want to hear her with those lies. I am losing my mind with all that she is showing. I am losing my mind when she looks at me with hate in her eyes.
