Fights and emotions
Fights and emotions
Aria's P O V
Damon stood up before the lady could get to our table, he got to her and whispered some words into her ear before she followed him out of the restaurant, then came back moments later.
I composed myself as I waited for him to sit down and explain who the lady is to him, but he never did, he just went back to eating without sparing me a glance.
I know I'm a bit annoyed by the strange human lady, but I'm more than annoyed by his attitude.
I mean, don't I deserve to know who she is as his mate? The lady got everyone staring at us and when he left with her, some of their suffocating attention turned to me.
*
I sat beside him in the car as he drove back to the hotel, we haven't spoken much to each other, and I'm waiting for him to explain who she is, but he is still keeping quiet.
I want to avoid asking him about her, either. I just want him to tell me willingly but seems he is not ready to do that.
I am very much satisfied with the meal, I was good with it until the lady showed up and ruined everything for me. Although it still tastes great, I just don't think it tastes as great as it should.
I huffed and folded my arms before looking out through the window.
*
We got to the hotel, and he parked then came to my side and opened the door for me to get down, but I stayed rooted there, feeling angry and frustrated by his silence.
“Ria,” he called softly.
“What is it? Wasn't the meal up to standard?” I looked ahead of us, not bothering to answer his question.
I heard him sigh loudly before he squatted down and held my right hand, but I forced it away from his hold. He took my hand again, but I forced it away from his hold.
“Okay, let's sort the problem out once we are inside the room. That will be better, you don't want everyone learning of it, do you?” I stared at him and let out a loud huff, knowing that he is right.
No one should learn of our private matter.
He stands to his full length and watches as I come down from the car. He locked it and led us into the hotel before taking us up to the penthouse.
Immediately he opened the door, I rushed in and went up to our room. I don't want that rude annoying maid to learn of my anger for him either, she'll end up using it to mock me.
I sat on the bed and crumple my arms again as I await him. It doesn't take too long for him to get in as well.
“Who was she?” I lost my patience and queried.
“She is no one of interest, Aria. She is just a normal human to me.”
“Normal human to you? It doesn't seem like that, tho.” I insisted.
“I'm serious, she is no one. Why don't you have a bath? Matthew will be arriving soon, and I heard he is coming with his mate.”
“Don't change the topic, okay?” It was not my intention to raise my voice, but I did. I was beyond pissed that he was endeavouring to change the topic.
He pinched the bridge of his nose in thought but ended up saying the same thing.
“She is no one, Ria. If she was of great importance, I'll tell you, but she isn't. She is someone I just happened to interact with one time, and that's all.”
After saying this, he walked to the closet and started pulling off his clothes.
The anger in me only heightened. Does he think I'm stupid? She is no one with the way he stood up and went to her.
If she was no one, then why isn't he explaining how he got to know her?
He doesn't think I deserve to know of his past because I'm just a mere maid who used to serve him, and he is the future king?
Tears welled up my eyes at the thought, but I wiped them away harshly before he sees it.
I strolled into the bathroom and sat down on the floor beside the wall.
I should calm down. I need to calm down, so I won't do or say what I'll end up regretting later.
“Ria?” A knock comes on the door.
“Ria?” He calls again, but I ignored him.
“Ria, what are you doing in there? You have been in there for the past 40 minutes and I can tell that you are not bathing. Come out.”
I blocked my ear with my palms, so I won't hear as he kept calling my name. He eventually stops calling, and I heard the room's door open and close.
I take a deep breath and wipe the tears that started rolling down my cheek again.
The door opens harshly and the next thing I knew was the bathroom door opening.
I stood up and watched as he unlocked the bathroom door and pulls me out of the bathroom. His eyes are not in the normal colour, meaning his wolf is struggling to come out again.
“Ariana, stop this nonsense!” He yells.
“What exactly do you want me to tell you? That the human girl is one of the girls I had a one-night stand with? Huh!” His words shock me and tears begin gathering my eyes again.
I snatch my hand away from his grip, but he grabs it again and tightens his grip on it.
“Let me go!” I yelled, attempting to free myself from him, but his wolf is still in control. His wolf is staring at me, and I can tell he is also pissed that I'm ignoring him.
But what can I do? I'm also frustrated and angry.
He stares at me as I struggled to free my hand from his without moving.
“Let me go! Let me go now!” I kept struggling with him, but he is much too strong and only kept staring at me.
After about 15 minutes, he notices that I was already tired and let me go.
I huffed out my anger and pain, I try vacating the room for him, but he is faster than I. He goes out of the room and slammed the door shut, before locking it.
“Don't lock me in here. Open the door!” I hit the door repeatedly, but he was gone. His scent fading.
I walked to the bed and sat on it, tired.
It's as I suspected. I heard he is a man whore, but I didn't know the rumour was exactly true.
I feel so stupid now. What if he cheats on me?
No, no, his wolf wouldn't allow him even if he wanted to. Maybe I should be watchful, he pretends to be highly classed, who knew he slept with a human lady like that?
The lady looks so much like a prostitute with the way she is dressed and with the number of piercing on her.
He shouldn't have brought me here then. Now I'm so worried, I still have Tina to deal with.

I walk down the stairs grumpily after hearing Matthew's voice. I know I have to greet him and his mate with a smiley face, but the fact that he is also going to be watching me is annoying.
Damon has to apologize to me. He is higher than I in everything, but I'm still his mate, and mates are supposed to be equal.
I reached the last step and coated my face with a fake smile before moving towards them.
Matthew is sitting down beside Damon, and Matthew's mate is sitting down on a sofa that is opposite theirs.
“Hi, good evening.” I waved at Matthew, whose attention is now on me.
I don't know how I'm supposed to greet him, but Damon has told me earlier to greet him normally, and I shouldn't respect him much because I am now in a higher rank than him.
“Hi, future Luna. It's nice to see you looking…” he looks down at my expensive gown and shook his head.
“Great. I'm glad he is taking good care of you now.” He looks at Damon, who wasn't paying us any attention, and looks back at me.
I roll my eyes at Damon, annoyed that he is ignoring my presence.
“You two are already fighting?” Matthew chuckled and covered his mouth when Damon stopped to glare at him.
I turn towards his mate, who has had nothing but a beautiful smile on her face.
“Hi, nice to meet you, Luna. I'm so glad we met,” she immediately stood up and grabbed my hand.
“Hi,” I smiled back genuinely. She is staring at me with so much adoration, love and somewhat jealousy.
Her emotions are weird.
“I've heard so much about you while coming here. I hope we can become friends.”
I open my mouth, speechless at her request. No one has ever asked to be my friend, so I'm surprised.
“Oh, you are my Luna. I shouldn't be disrespectful by asking you that, I'm sorry.” She bowed her head apologetically, but I was quick to correct her.
“No, I'm not angry or anything. I'm just surprised that you asked to be friends. Well, I'll be happy to be your friend…” I paused, recalling that I don't know her name.
“Ashley.”
“Ashley.” I smiled and also touched her hand.
“So, I hope we can cook dinner together every night?” She begged.
“Yup. Of course, seems like you'll teach me how to cook because I'm horrible at cooking.” She laughed and nodded her head eagerly.
“Of course.” She agreed.
*
I walk to the bed after having a long chat with Ashley after dining.
I climb the bed and lie down at the end side, totally ignoring Damon who is probably working on something as he is busy operating his laptop.
I won't speak to him ever again until he apologizes. If it weren't for Matthew and his mate that arrived, he couldn't have unlocked the door the time he did.
Does he think I'm a prisoner or something?
I closed my eyes to sleep after thinking about all the negative things in my life.
But felt a hand wrap around my waist. I opened my eyes, knowing who it is.
When his second hand extends to pull me closer to him, I bite his hand and he immediately withdrew it.
“I'm sorry. But you know I can't sleep without you being this close to me.” He murmured.
“You're sorry? What are you sorry for?” I probed, eyeing him even in the dark.
“I'm sorry for what happened today. And for not explaining, for locking you up too. I was pissed and also scared, I didn't know how to tell you of my former affairs. I wasn't certain how it was going to sound, so I decided not to tell you, but I've realized that it's a mistake from my side.
Will you forgive me?”
I remain quiet after his apology, heart thumping. I can't be mad at him any more.
But what if he repeats this?
“I won't. It won't happen again, so please let me hold you.” He murmured into my ear and pulled me closer to him, and this time I don't push him away and just left him to hold me.
He buried his head in the crook of my neck to inhale my scent, and the tension around the room settled down.
“So, have you forgiven me?"
I nod my head slightly at his answer.
He has promised that it won't happen again. It's his past and not his present anyway.
“I will trust him.”
Everywhere quiets down and after a moment, I hear him utter a word that got my skin all cold.
“I love you.”

Hmm, what do you think about Damon and Aria's fight?
