Chapter 168 Her Annoying Mate 10

Anthony's POV:

'I hate you.'

These words sounded clearly in my head.

They repeated themselves, haunting and tormenting me.

Mary's voice threatened me. Her words burned a hole in me. Every tear she shed made me cringe. She stared at me as if she wanted me dead. I felt the pain emanating from her, and my wolf growled at me for doing such a thing.

As those three words repeated over and over in my head, I stopped, frozen.

My hands were clenched into fists. But I wasn't angry at anyone. I was angry at myself.

The cafeteria was dead silent, all eyes on me. Mary had just left, and without her presence, I felt cold. A moment ago, I'd gotten what I wanted. I wanted her to look at me with hatred. Now I regretted it. All I wanted from her was to put my arms around her, to protect her, to see her eyes adore me. I wanted her lips pressed to mine, her smile to brighten my day, her beautiful laugh to make my heart overflow. But I lost all that because my ego got the best of me.
