The fire glowed in his eyes, his jaw clenched, his fingers tightened in my hair.
"Say it clearly," He said under breath.
I looked back. The room was empty. The door was closed, "You're sleeping with Samantha. Everyone is talking about your private pictures with her. How could you do this to me? When you know. I'm your mate. How could you touch her? When you have kissed me." My voice broke again, tears split down.
A wave of heat passed through me, startling me. The glass of the mirror broke, hitting the ground with loud thuds, and the curtains caught fire. My mouth gaped, big eyes looking at him in awe.
The door swung open, "Merde!" Alessandro ran his hand through his hair. Stepping forward, he whispered that I couldn't understand.
Dastien's head jerked toward him, "She's human. It can hurt her," Daniel said.
Dastien flicked his gaze back at me. Swiftly, he scooped me up. His scent embedded in my lungs, imprinted my senses, "Why are you burning everything," I blurted out in a scared tone.
' I'm scared but I'm also feeling secure with him.'
"It's by mistake. We should talk somewhere else," He said, his eyes back in colour.
"Put me down, Dastien." I demanded wiggling my legs. The fire was burning everything, the fresh air was replaced by smoke. The situation felt strange for me when he strode out of the room. All were out of the room. They must have smelled the fire in the air. Some had already shifted sensing the danger. I skimmed my gaze over the curious, shocked faces. Definitely, they wouldn't have imagined a human girl with their King.
' Mates usually don't survive long without each other. I don't know if humans are involved. What are the rules then? '
He kept looking at me without blinking like a predator, "We're out in the open. No fire. Please put me down."
"I just can't right now. Don't ask." He retorted.
Mr Wolfe and two more guys, I didn't know, walked toward us.
"Please, put me down." I whispered.
What would I answer him if he asked?
His eyes flashed, a growl rippled through his throat, his arms fastened, crashing my body to his chest.
Mr Wolfe and his friends stepped back. Alessandro, Daniel, Jasper and Carlos were only looking at us.
Grace came with Max. She waved her hand to grab my attention. She lifted her hands and placed them on Max's chest, "Do it," She mouthed.
I bit my lower lip. I wasn't certain but I placed my hand over his shoulders. His fire flashing gaze snapped at him
"I'm not going anywhere, Dastien." I sighed. He wasn't looking convinced
His shoulders sagged under my palms, his hold remained tight. Dastien said something in French. They moved away making a path for us.
"You're not sure," He growled, striding toward the SevenA.
"Your mood swings are confusing me. We'll talk later for sure. I need to go back to my room." I tried to jump down. His eyes flashed amber all the time.
"We're talking now. Alessandro is looking into the matter... Personal pictures. Right?"
"For this, You have to talk to him. " I wiggled in his hold again.
He wasn't ready to put me down, "I don't need to speak to talk to my Alphas-mates. Stay with me," He said, looking deep into my eyes.
Something stirred inside me, pushing itself on edge. A huge part of me was glad to be so close to him, I wanted to be close where we would be inseparable. A part of me liked to be his mate, a part of me liked his touch, smell.
I shook my head, "Where are you taking me?" I asked.
"Our home," My jaw dropped.
Our home!
"We're not a couple, Dastien. Stop...." His amber gaze cut through me, making me shut my mouth.
"I need to tread slowly with our..." A pause, "Just stay with me," He said again.
"I'm not going anywhere. You didn't even show me your house around last time, you invited me. Now you're taking me again and you didn't try to know my wish." I said.
"I don't know. You'll understand me or not. I need you to be around me, close to me, your touch is like healing to me. Stay!" His voice was soft and pleading.
Considering the situation was already complicated, I nodded, "Okay," He exhaled and relaxed more, he buried his head in the crook of my neck. My stomach twisted, hands moved further to embrace him.
He inhaled, "You smell good," He said.
I chuckled, "Is this a compliment?" I didn't know much about the ways of shifters.
"Of course, it is." He placed a kiss on the back of my ear and pulled back, restarting his stride again.
"I'll walk," I said.
This time, he heard me and put me down but his arm came around me possessively.
"I'm not going anywhere," I told him.
"You tried," He murmured. I felt agony, sadness inside me.
"I was hurt and upset." I said
"That won't happen again." He sealed the promise with a peck on my lips.
I couldn't help but giggle. He looked at me, a smile crawled over his face. We walked toward his home.
' I'm being tugged at him. No doubt, I also wanna stay with him. '
His phone began to ring. He took out and hoisted it up against his ear, "I'll be there," He slithered his phone back in his pocket, "There's a situation. A group of vampires attacked the store downtown. Stay inside and lock the door." He said.
I wasn't hoping for him to tell me everything, " Okay. I'll go back." I muttered.
"You're doing it again." He pulled me with him and pushed the door open. He never locked the door. We strode in, "Lock the door," He kissed my head and spun. I heard the click of the lock.
Breathing out, I looked around, "When did he turn the lights on?" I knew where his room was.
My stomach rumbled. I walked over to the kitchen. Which I assumed would be in that direction. I grabbed the water bottle from the shelf, I unscrewed the cap and took a long swig.
There are a lot of things to understand. Where to start? I didn't want to start this topic. I wouldn't be able to handle it.
I pushed open the door of his bedroom and stalked inside. I have been here before. It wasn't feeling strange being in his room but a strange kind of peace settled inside me. My cheeks reddened.
'Should I talk to Grace? No! Alessandro. I can talk to him. He's Silver's Mate. Bad idea.'
I crawled under the sheet. My stomach fluttered. It wasn't the first time. I told myself. I heaved a sigh. sliding deeper, I closed my eyes. His bed sheet, comforter smelled like him.
' I need someone to talk to. '
