Mine

Chapter Eight.

With that I twisted the doorknob and shoved the door open. What awaited me was defenitely not what I was expecting.

Aiden, sat there on his work desk. His palms shielding his face from me. My heart thundered rapidly in my chest, and my breathing shortened. For a short second, I believed that my mate wouldn't do anything of that sort. However, after the strong smell Ariana had left behind hit my nostrils, the daze I was in had been cleared. I felt the pain tear at my heart, I couldn't find a way to quench it. Yet my anger overcame all of that.

How his lips close to mine had made me want to change my mind about killing him and feeding him to the rouges, but I knew I couldn't let my anger fall away. I wouldn't let myself be that pathetic. Mate or not, no one gets to treat me like shit.

***

He must've known all along that I was his mate, yet he didn't bother sharing that unfortunate knowledge with me. He was going to pay, and pay he will.

My wolf had been quiet the entire time I talked to him and faintly, it scared me. What if she left me again because I refused to let her mate with the guy that did not respect me enough to tell me he was my mate? No, ofcourse not. She's a wolf, she doesn't give up.

I may look weak, but I was anything but that. I wasn't going to let him dominate me or my heart. Atleast not till he has the decency to apologise.

I knew my thoughts were just a string of irrelevant words to my heart. With every thump, it's love for Aiden rose. It's want for him spread through every vein of my body and every organ, every fucking cell of mine, except my mind agreed. My desire for him felt like wild fire, it was going to end up burning someone in the end. I would rather it be him.

"You've been staring at this wall since the last twenty minutes,"

"I'm just admiring it's unique texture," I mutter, turning around to look at the person that interrupted my train of thoughts.

"Victoria?" Heather give me a curious look.

"Hmm?"

"It's a plain white wall, where is the unique texture?"

I blinked once, the white wall becoming clearer in front of my eyes. I sighed and fell back on the bed, stuffing my face into one of the soft pillows.

Heather planted herself besides me on the bed, "What's wrong?"

I opened one eye and stared at her, trying to give words to my thoughts and tell what exactly was bothering me.

"Aiden is my mate," I let out, a heavy weight setting on my shoulders.

"WHAT?" She shrieked so loud, I think I burst my eardrum.

"Calm the fuck down, he's my mate but that doesn't mean I have accepted him as one," I snapped at her.

"What the hell do you mean by that?"

I dove into the story, telling her how everything changed in the past few hours. I may have recently met her, but the way she attentively listened to me and held my hand throughout, I knew I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world. By the end of my rant, I was ready to rip someone's head off. Again.

The pool outside the mansion was the only place that wasn't crowded. So after changing into my swim suit, I jumped into the icy cold water. Loving the way it splashed against my body.

Swimming was one of the ways I could relieve my stress, it was a childhood thing. It reminded me of the memories of when my father was alive. He would take me swimming whenever I was upset and would play with me till I had forgotten the reason that had made me upset. It was one of the things I miss most about him. It pained a lot to know that I would never see him, or hear his cheerful laughter again.

I dove underwater, getting completely detached from reality. The blue surrounded me, making me feel stronger than I had ever felt before. Maybe it was my ability to control it, or maybe it was just phycotic thought. Whatever the case was, it was after so long that I felt completely at peace with myself.

Another body diving into the pool caught my attention as I pulled my head out of the water.

Wonderful, Just what I needed.

'You couldn't find some place else?' I asked his half naked self. His scent mixed with the chlorine was making it very hard to not just pounce on him. I knew I wanted to. Screw the mating bond.

His trademark smirk lit up his face as he inched closer to me, 'What can I say? You're irrisistable,"

I rolled my eyes and swam towards the small ladder at the end of the pool. However, a tug on my hand stopped me.

'Wait.." He swam closer to me, trapping me between his arms.

I felt my breath hitch in my throat as he brought his face incredibly close to mine. His eyes pierced through mine with an undescribable passion, I was caught in a trance. His eyes spoke volumes, words that his mouth would most defenitely contradict. The coffee brown in his eyes swirled with a feeling so intense, it would become a freaking R rated movie if he didn't stop himself.

'Aiden..' My voice came out as a mere whisper, my voice and senses had deserted me.

'I'm sorry,' He whispered.

Wait, what?

A soft chuckle resonated in my ear, 'Yes Victoria, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hidden the fact that you're my mate from you. It just made everything messier.'

'You mean that?' I asked bewildered. I mean, it's not everyday a powerful Alpha apologises to me.

'I do,' He said, amusement shining in his orbs.

'Oh,'

'Oh?' He asked, confusion lining his gorgeous features.

I narrowed My eyes at him 'That's not enough Aiden. You're my mate, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to let you off this easily,'

'That's the point sweetheart. You're going to want me to work for you. To fight for you. To get you the hearts and roses that you see in those crappy fairytales. I want you to know, this mating bond may be a big thing for you, but it's merely a bond for me. It means close to nothing to me. I'm not going to work to make you mine. I'm going to continue to fuck every creature with a vigina without a Fucking doubt, and I am not going to feel bad about it,'

It's ironic how he managed to remain emotionless while he dragged every emotion of mine and stomped on it till I was nothing but a broken mess.

'Victoria, I am going to break till you realise that you are going to get nothing out of this. You will run away as far away from me as possible. You will hate me enough to never return. That is what I want, and that is what is going to happen,' He spat the heartbreaking words on my face and climbed out of the pool.

The icy cold water, that a few moments ago was the reason of my relief, became extremely suffocating. Screw that, every organ in me felt like it had been set on fire. My heart hammered in my chest, the pain riveting through my entire body. It was unbearable. I barely managed to climb out of the pool and wrap the towel around me. I heard someone faintly call my name, but I didn't find out who because the pain finally took a toll on me and I was sucked into oblivion.

The only place where my mate couldn't hurt me.
