KIX:
It was torturous. I didn’t want to go through that experience again…
“Jade…”
I heard the rat call the name of my mate once more…
What were they doing in the clinic? Were they out of their freaking minds? Why was Jade letting him get the better of her?
‘Maybe Jade wanted it…’ Something inside my head said.
Why would she want this? And with Liam? Wasn’t she ours? She’s Riley’s and my mate! She wasn’t supposed to do this with someone else!
‘Why not? She’s in love with him. You’ve been in love too, weren’t you? Surely you knew how strong those desires can become when you truly love someone…’
My eyes began to water. My head spun around. I received several punches from Liam earlier, but it didn’t hurt me… But now, these – their voices, their lust – they were all hurting me so badly that I wanted to throw up.
I could hear more and more moans coming from the obscured bed at the end of the room…
He kept chanting her name like some bewitched bastard. “Jade… Jade…”
The worse thing however was hearing Jade respond as if she was begging for more of it…
“Hah… Please…”
F*ck having ears and senses like I did! I couldn’t help but smell it – the heightened scent of my mate – the smell of her getting aroused and the smell of her partner as it enveloped her…
Suddenly, a realization came over me… The smell I was picking up was highly familiar…
Humans have a distinct smell. Usually, they smell just oily and stale, very unappealing. Attractive humans smell a bit more fruity and nice, and fated mates, whether they were humans or non-humans, have unique and fragrant smells that are highly specific to their partners.
Jade’s smell was mesmerizingly heaven sent. Right now, she was reeking of lavender and baby’s breath, and it was getting more potent as she gets turned on.
Normally, Liam should smell like fart, since he is a trashy human being… However, his smell was just plain odd…
He smelled just like dead leaves and twigs…
F*ck him! Was such a vile smell even possible? Why does he smell like some dead leaves in the woods?
His smell was triggering a memory in me… It felt quite familiar, but yet I couldn’t remember where I encountered it…
Was it during the time of the accident? The time when my mom and dad died last year during a car accident?...
Jade’s hoarse voice as she gave Liam a firm answer shook me out of my reverie.
“Please stop,” I heard her say.
Tears flowed down my eyes in utter relief. Yes… She finally resisted him… She’s not pushing through to have s*x with him just yet.
I heard the rat say he was sorry. I wanted to run down there and break his bones, but my legs wouldn’t move just yet.
Jade… You didn’t love him that much yet, right? I could still make my claim towards you. I could still snatch you away from him, right? You would still let me be your first, won’t you?
‘Who knows? Maybe she had already lost her virginity to someone else before you… After all, you were apart for four, long years… Who was to say she is still untouched until now?’
‘Get out,’ I growled at the voice inside my head. ‘Get the f*ck out of my head!’
The voice chuckled like a madman. ‘Make me,’ he said in jest.
What the hell? Was I going mad? Why could I hear this devil inside of me?
The feeling of lustful desires disappeared inside the clinic, and Jade’s scent started to recede. She was becoming her old self once more…
But who’s to say it won’t happen? That Liam rat was a thief in the night! I’m sure his every thought was only filled with bedding Jade and making love with her every chance he could. He hovered around her for two years, making sure he isolated her from every one…
‘Are you sure? Aren’t those your own ideas about Jade? Weren’t you the one who would have liked to isolate her and make her just yours?...’
I stopped. The voice had a point. Wasn’t that what I had dreamt too when I found out that Jade was my fated mate?
‘Stop this,’ I hissed inside my consciousness. ‘Stop messing around with my head!’
Jade and I made a promise. When I turn nineteen, I would be the first one to claim her. I will propose to her and be her husband. We will have a small wedding, and we will live happily and die in each other’s arms at the end.
So much for that fairytale-like promise…
If I don’t make my move now, that vermin will get my Jade. He will defile her and destroy her soul beyond repair. He will have the last laugh over me…
I just can’t let him win. I must convince Jade to dump him. She must never fall further to his schemes…
Just then, I heard someone open the door of the clinic.
Thank the Goddess, the nurse is back. I could get out of here as soon as I could before Jade or that rat sees me in this state.
Too late though. As the nurse opened the flap of curtains I closed to hide myself from Jade and that poop, I saw Jade open their own curtains at the exact same time.
Sh*t…. Double sh*t… Okay, make that triple sh*t!
“I’ll be right there with you, miss. I’ll just attend to this other patient first before your classmate, alright,” the nurse said, not paying attention to Jade’s shocked expression.
Jade’s face was drained out of the blood in her body. She attempted to speak, but she was far too stunned to say anything.
I could still see how the hem of Jade’s shirt was sticking out of her left side. The rat reached out towards it and pulled it down to fix it.
Was that Liam rat rubbing it on my face just now? He just had to fix Jade’s clothes to emphasize that they had just gone beyond first base, am I right?
I smirked. This was my opportunity then. I could not miss it.
“Miss Nurse, I’m alright,” I said even though my head still felt hazy. “Just please sign this slip, and then I will go back to class with our Miss Vice President over there.”
