CHAPTER NINE

The day I'd been dreading had come. I have to share my space with this asshole. 

I'm not a weakling but then again I can't match this guy.

 Even when he speaks, he outsmarts me. Why would he want me to fight with his warriors? 

"Stop!" I can't deal with this. I ran for my life. I stop when I'm at the river. 

"So Miss Rogue did you think running was the best option you could come up with?" Now I'm in serious trouble.

"What are you?" He said and I swallowed hard.

"I... I... I" I saw several wolves coming from the woods in every direction.

"Speak!" He shouted.

"You're naked" I stated at the obvious.

"Yes so" I couldn't fight those wolves

"How many enemies do you have?" I asked if they were close and I didn't want to panic.

"You're the first one" I chuckled. This doesn't surprise me.

He wanted to turn but I halted him.

"Don't turn after you've seen, but look into my eyes" he looked into my eyes and panicked.

"Wait don't panic, can you fight them or should I help you?" He laughed a laughlaughteras full of mockery.

"You? Help me?" I nodded.

He transformed into his wolf form.

And I just stood there mesmerized as he took down every wolf that attacked him.

As much as I admired seeing fights, this fight was getting serious more wolves came from the woods, and I approached him and created a fire around us. 

One of them came close but was burned by the fire and his mates couldn't even help him all they could do was just watch him scream and burn.

In just a snap of a finger, we were at my house in my room, panting out of breath.

"What are you?" I kept quiet. How should I answer that?

"Someone who saved you," I said.

"You're not human nor are you a wolf so what are you?" He asked me and I just stared at him

"Right you're just a human a manipulative bitch at that even a snake is not running like you are. You made me trust you yet you knew this was your plan all along. I can't believe you. I almost thought you were a little bit different I despise you. What kind of creature are you?" He spat at me. He hated me. 

Can't I be worth something in life?

"I'm a wolf okay one that was abused and broken to a point where she didn't get her wolf. I'm cursed okay? I hate living like this I know you don't believe me when I say I came looking for a place to stay but it's the truth okay? I run away from the enemies I have and from the people who want me dead. I'm a witch okay but I don't harm anyone, not intentionally. I want to be a normal wolf but I can't, fate and your stupid Moon goddess took that from me too, I'm unwanted because even my parents threw me away, and guess what? I suffer because of their decisions every day. If they for once loved me maybe I'd be loved by someone but no I have to be lonely and sad every day. I don't care if you believe it or not but that's who I am, an unwanted soul!"

"No one wants you?" He asked in a hoarse voice, approaching me

"Yes?" I said 

"Even Phoenix?" I smiled.

"The love he has for me is out of this world. It's unconditional. And vice versa" I replied.

He walked closer to me and I started getting sweaty. 

"What are you doing?" I couldn't walk away there was nowhere but the bed.

"I'm coming closer to you," he paused.

"Do you want me to stay where I am?" 

"Would my answer have any effect on that question?" 

"I doubt it" he stopped once he was in front of me. His finger trailed from my umbilicus to my breasts. he stared at my breast as though he could see them through my navy tee. He then pulled me close to him.

"Breathe" I stared at him with confusion beaming in my eyes. I let out the breath I had been holding out.

He gently pushed me onto the bed I could hear my heartbeat beating, I wanted to push him off with my legs but I couldn't, instead, I wanted to him come closer. 

"Do you want this?" He asked. Do I? I don't know. But I wanted to experience it.

"Tell me you want me as much as I want you," he asked. I kept quiet

"Is that a question?"I asked. As if that was the response he'd been waiting for he yanked me and put me on top of him, I took this opportunity to grind my hips to his and wrap my legs around his waist while holding my butt up and my arms around his neck.

I gasped as soon as his lips touched my neck, and I could feel his smile against my skin, I pulled back and looked at his hot lips then his eyes which beamed were utterly dilated and full of lust. That instant our lips smashed, bringing me to the heaven I'd been longing for.

They say if it lasts for more than six seconds then it's a passionate one it lasted for as long as It could. So this is what people feel when kissing?

I pressed my body closer to his as I struggled to breathe but was reluctant to break away from the kiss, our lips were attached in a passionate kiss. So passionate it felt like a sweet, a sweet sin we were doing.

Damn, I wanted to do this forever. His hands moved under my t-shirt and undid my bra, then he took them back to my waist and undressed me, and flipped us over again.

I lay there naked, with him fully examining my body. Goddess! I feel so naked right now. With my neck exposed again, he kisses it from below for quite some time. I'm sure there's a hickey there. This time I don't gasp but moaned out his name and I felt his shaft getting harder than it was before.

"Angelique! Angelique! Angelique! Angeli..." Phoenix came rushing in with a piece of paper. Shit! I didn't lock the door. This is so embarrassing.

"Umm hey baby, come" I picked him up and rushed out of the room.

"Is he your husband now?" That's the first thing he asked me.

"No, he's my friend" I never let him have strawberries and ice cream but today I have to.

"Look how about you take a shower, then have some ice cream and strawberries huh," I say patting his back.

"Really?" He says and I nodded.

He shoved the paper in my hand and left.

I opened the door to my room, Bane was still there he hadn't left yet. I thought he had. I mean I'd have left. Part of me was happy he didn't leave.

"Come here" he made space for me in bed. I did as instructed.

"What did you tell the poor guy" I giggled.

" Nothing he won't understand anything now but if explain when he's eaten his favorite things then he'll understand" he nodded and pulled me close and closed his eyes.

Wait! The great Bane only wants to cuddle.

"What? Do you want more than just cuddling?" He also reads minds too.

I look at him confused.

" Don't you talk to your wolf?" I shook my head.

"I don't have a wolf, I have claws though" I showed him my claws.

"Woah! Easy tiger, was not fighting yet" 

"So we communicate with our wolves in our minds to make you understand. we also talk to other wolves through the mind link" 

"Mindlink?"

"Yes just imagine I'm talking to you in your mind" I looked at him.

"Okay just say hi but not out loud" 

'hi," I said in my head.

'hey beautiful' I jumped but he pulled me back to him.

"It's me answering you" Right. I rolled my eyes.

"Say something again" I smiled at him.

' I enjoyed kissing you' I smiled.

'This is cool' I said he gave me a perk on my cheeks.

"Just like you," he said. Now I can't even compliment him in my head because he'll know what I said. He smiled.
