Chapter 18

LINA

An hour has passed and I heard a sound of an engine outside the house. That must be Eli's. Well If he thinks that I'm going to talk to him, he is wrong. I'm not talking to him.

I heard the door open and closes and sounds of footsteps that are nearing my room. After that, soft knocks break the silence.

"Lina? Baby that's not what you think I-"

"That's what then! You know what? I'll just shut up and keep my opinions to myself. Its not like I have a right to complain anyway."

I said still not opening the door. My voice grew softer at the end of my speech.

Right, its not like I'm his mate or something. I'm just a mere girl that assumed that he chose me or whatnot.

I can feel my wolf sighing in disappointment. And because of that, I did sigh too, and I'm not just disappointed I'm upset.

"No no. If you could just open this goddamn door so we could talk, I would explain to you"

He asked almost pleading. I imagined his eyes, his big doe eyes that anyone couldn't resist.

"There's nothing to explain Eli. I understand (No I don't!) I'm not staying in my place and I'm spoiling my stay here interfering on your..relationships"

I said with a soft voice.

I heard him sigh. "Just open the door okay? Please. Or would you like me to kick this door off?"

I walk from my bed towards the door and grip the handle. Should I open? Or should I not? He would probably kick the door just to get in and I would not lime to have a door less room.

Deciding on the first choice, I slowly twisted the handle revealing Eli looking at me hopefully.

"Oh thank goddess!"

He quickly strode to me and hugged me tight kissing my forehead in the process.

A pregnant pause later. I decided to start talking so we can end early. I need some personal time with myself.

"So what do you want to talk? Its not like there is something to talk about. I don't care and I am not involved on your shenanigans."

Lie. Of course that's a lie. I do care and I do think that there is something to talk about. It's just that I know I'm not in the right place for it.

He kneeled in front of me holding my hand in the process.

"I, I went to the pura lupus pack to attend the meeting like I said to you. They said they wanted to thank the lycanthropes and I am a representative. We helped them last time by some kind of war but that's not important no-"

"So they gifted you a slut?" My eyes widen in shocked after I realized what I said. Oh my gosh! So embarrassing!

I cleared my throat and gave him a signal to continue. I saw the left side of his mouth twitch in amusement.

He find this amusing?

"Okay so, they decided to give us one of their best warriors to help us on certain problems as a gift." He shift his position but never letting my hand go.

"Okay so the head of the pack invited me for a dinner while we are waiting for the arrival of the said warrior."

I opened my mouth to ask him something but he raises his palm to stop me.

"Just listen first okay?" I nod. "Okay"

"So, I accepted his dinner invitation because it would be rude not to, although all I want to do is go home and hug you all night."

I blushed at that.

"While in the middle of dinner my phone vibra-"

"That's when I call you!!" I nearly squealed but the look on his face made me drop my grin.

I cleared my throat gesturing him to continue. "c-continue"

"As I was saying, my phone vibrates when you called me and I went to the terrace to answer it but Marriane came. She is mated by a white wolf. I admit I hooked up with her long before I met you, a month after then she admits that she is pregnant"

That earned a gasp from me.

"You're a da-?!" I screamed but cut short by him.

"But its not my child. Its her mate. She is power hungry and wanted a Lycan as her mate. I am not irresponsible as you think. And as if that will happen." He scowled.

"S-so.. You're not a daddy?"

I asked him. He scrunched his face as if disgusted by the thought of it.

"Im not a daddy! Well, never on her! Maybe with you."

He wiggles his eyebrows again. Thing that he always do when he crack a sexual joke on me.

I roll my eyes at that, relief is slowly coming in me.

"I pushed her away but when I answer your call, well you know what happened"

At least I know he didn't cheat on me. Wait. He can't cheat on me anyway we are not together. Not even close together.

"You know what?I don't get why you're telling me this though. You should tell this on your chosen mate not to me." I said looking everywhere but him. I felt a slight pang on my chest because of the jealousness that is creeping on me.

"I am telling this to her"

I nod before realizing his words.

"Yeah that's right. Wait..W-what?"

"I am telling this to her I said."

"What do you me-"

He cut my sentence by cupping my cheeks with both of his hand and quickly leaning for a slow but sweet and passionate kiss.

I debated on moving my lips and I did. I slowly move my lips on his lead clutching his shirt in the process.

After some second I felt him leaning away slowly. I opened my eyes and looked at his own blue eyes.

"I'm telling this to you my mate."
