Chapter thirty-seven ( Tempted )

Mira's Pov:

Still arguing with myself whether this behavior of his won't blast away once he finds out the truth, I know that things won't be the same if he finds out. I don't expect him to leave his brother for me and if in any process he wants me after finding out about the truth then the bond between the two brothers won't remain the same, I don't want to be a homewrecker because I am damn sure that Virginia's love towards me will change. Everything will change and I will be the cause of it and that's why I need to distance myself from the two brothers. I have to make sure that none of them finds out before I escape to God knows where. Far away from anybody's sight and imagination. I can't visualize myself being in the type of situation where everybody sees you as a misfortune and lays curses on you. If they find out about the truth I will be made a laughing stock because none of them will want me. And I am sure that not even Virginia or Alpha Den will stare at me with adoration or with pride, also the whole rank members won't see me as the same again then Mr. Peter the gamma will now have a reason to point a finger at me like I wasn't meant to be here in the first place.

"I am serious……I want to know you," his words caught me off guard, and I gaped at him. I thought that I was the only one here. I have long forgotten that I wasn't alone. Swallowing my throat I divert my attention elsewhere.

"I am serious, just give me the chance to know you and I promise that you won't regret it," lifting my chin he mumbled, more like he was pleading for me to accept him into my life which seems hard and impossible for me. I need to avoid every obstacle, be it whoever or where ever I need to reach my destination.

"I know that it is more than a bond between mates…… there is something there and I am sure that you felt it too," He muttered. I stare at the way that his lips move when he is speaking, I gaze at the softness of the lips and the smaller size of it. I wonder if the lips are softer than it appears to be, I wonder how they could feel on my lips. Electric sparkles shoot from the place he was holding me all over my body, I want his whole hands all over me.

"Kissable…." I mumbled within, "What the fuck!!......" Jerking back to reality I groaned in frustration, I was angrier at myself than I am at him. I am supposed to alienate myself far away from him but here I am having salacious images of us together.

Clearing my throat, I said to him "I don't feel anything…..this is just the mate bond,"

"No, this is more than a mate bond….. I love you and I feel something huge for you," his breath fans my cheeks as he takes a step towards me. I eyed him suspiciously before backing away from him, keeping a distance between us.

"Love….. You didn't tell me that you are a funny dude. How can you feel something about a person that you knew nothing about?" I surprisingly let out the words but in a mocking tone.

"I don't care….. Then give me the chance to know what I truly felt for you because I know that there is something there," he pleaded as his eyes looked at me with different emotions at the same time. My legs weakened at his gaze, I cleared my throat and straightened myself.

"You have to stop……." I nervously murmured to him, I wanted it to sound serious but it came out more like I am begging and this fucking annoys the shit out of me. I have never felt like this not even with Nicholas except for the first day that I met him.

"And what if I refused……" retorted Derrick, as he mischievously scans my face. I turned my face away from his instantly to avoid him seeing through me.

"Mate, love us….." Mumbled Heaven as she kept jumping up with her paws in happiness.

"No…..no….no Heaven, this guy is just deceiving us," I extremely warned her.

"But mate seems nice….." Heaven persistently mumbled.

"Just stop it, Heaven!...... Whether he was telling the truth or whatever, we are not accepting him," I said before shutting her up in the back of my head. I need to concentrate and get this done once and for all.

"I have been talking but you haven't responded to me or could I say that your mind wasn't here….." Derrick said with a furrowed eyebrow.

"Uhmm…… " I was startled at his words, so he has been talking and I didn't even know. Oh! I was talking with Heaven, that little stubborn she-wolf, I retorted.

"Was just having some chit-chat with my wolf," I forced a smile.

"Oh! About that… my regards to her," he shyly muttered.

"Yeah, umm….. I mean ok," I gave him a phony smile. So he can be shy, but he looks so cute especially when he is shy. I am damn sure that Heaven will be on cloud nine by now.

"Same applies to you….." I heard a voice in my head, Ouch! This wolf is fucking stubborn I thought that I blocked her but hell no she will struggle to make her way out. I roll my eyes at her before blocking her. This time I ensured that I blocked her before she made me go crazy.

"Seems like your wolf is a stubborn type….." He laughed.

"The same with Ethan…." He announced.

"Ethan…….." I almost moaned out the name, as the name rolled out of my lips like it was meant only for me to pronounce it.

"Yeah, Ethan is my wolf……." His eyes turned a shade of black as lust flickered at them. I bewilderedly stared at him as I swallowed hard, still breathing. I notice that his wolf is at the edge of coming out.

"Especially whenever he sees or is around his mate, the one person that makes sense in this world……..the one that he doesn't care about getting drowned in her ocean of love," he covered the distance between us, I fucking felt nervous. My whole hand was sweating, with my eyes popping out of their socket. I gawked at him, his eyes moved from my eyes down to my lips. He stares at me for permission, biting my lips. I noticed his eyes turned darker. His heated gaze wasn't helping the matter because I fucking feel aroused under his gaze, I just pray that he doesn't notice my uneasiness or smell my arousal because that will be my doom.

Having been standing there for hours, he started bending his head as his lips began moving closer to mine. Inches by inches his lips kept moving closer with each passing minute, with his eyes closed he kept itching closer. I can feel his breath, the flesh breath of his mouth. It felt fucking intoxicating that I don't feel like backing down and running away, my heart was throbbing. It was beating so fast that the person beside me could hear it. I was supposed to stop this madness and run away but my leg felt too heavy to move. I found myself paralyzed in one spot. I kept screaming to myself to let go of him and ran away without turning back but it looks like my body was on its own.

"Stop!!......." I half-whispered as his lips were almost on mine. Placing my hands on his chest I took a step backward.

"Why……?" He confusingly asked about pain and hurt visible in his eyes. Wiggling my head in a disapproving manner, I kept taking a step back.

"Please wait……." He tried stopping me, noticing that I had made up my mind and he tried taking a step toward me.

"Stay the fuck away from me!!.........." I yelled, turning around I took to my heels leaving him there all alone. I need to clear my head. This madness needs to stop.
