His Cursed Mate ✔️

Chapter 18: What just happened ?

"What ?" His eyebrows pulled down in confusion "Do I have something on my face ?"
"What happened to me telling you I didn't want you talking to me ?" My lip pulled back in irritation "Are you so daft that you already forgot ?"

"Look you can atleast..."
"No" I interrupted "I don't want you talking to me. Unfortunately right now we're stuck in the same car and for the next 7 months in the same house but let's just make this simple. Avoid me like I'm the plague and I'll avoid you. Let's make this easy, mainly on me because obviously you're the one who rejected me. Okay ? Okay."

I turned away my good mood vanishing.

I concentrated on the forest surrounding us, the many animals scurried around unaware that wolves loomed not that far away.

How would it feel to be that careless ? I wondered . Did they even feel heartache ? Or did they just know that once they found that special someone that they were meant to be forever ?

They had not a care in the world but to find that next meal and to just enjoy life as it is given.

I sighed and I knew I couldn't stay mad.

No matter what there was this part of me that longed for Damian to look at me like he did those girls who flung themselves at him. Even just for a second. That way I would know atleast he found me somewhat attractive, that the mate bond wasn't completely gone like it never existed.

He may have rejected me but I wasn't as cruel as him, I didn't have a mean bone in my body.
"My cousins are in the Midnight Pack" I said with a small smile, not quite reaching my eyes. "It's been a while since I've had time to visit them."

I saw the surprise as he looked at me.

I guess he hadn't counted on me talking to him after that outburst.

"I can't wait to meet these cousins of yours then." He finally said after an awkward silence.

A flash of anger went through me.
"What so you can hit on her as well ?" It can out husky and filled with disgust.

His face showed no emotion, I watched him closely watching for a sign, any sign that it bothered him what I had said.

Then I saw it, a slight tightening of the lips. Barely noticeable.

I tinge of hope entered me. What if Damian really did care about me somewhat ?

He didn't answer as he continued to drive. We still had a few hours before we reached Midnight Pack.

He really does look tired, I grimaced as I glanced at him once more.

"You look exhausted, let me drive the rest of the way while you take a nap ?" It came out as a question. I didn't know if he would be a macho man about this and say he could handle it, and next thing you know we would end up in a ditch as he fell asleep on the wheel.

"I'd appreciate that." He surprised me by giving me a grateful smile.

He pulled over and we switched seats. Within minutes he was sound asleep and I couldn't help but look his way.

Gosh I had a good looking Mate. His hair short and midnight black was disheveled making him look even more sexy. His full lips were pulled up in a smile, his beautiful eyes closed his long lashes casting shadows on his high cheeks.

I was tempted to reach over and see for myself just how soft his flawless skin looked.

I was knocked out of my trance as a loud horn beeped. I was on the other side of the road, a car going directly at me. With my fast reflexes I swung us to the right lane nearly driving us into the ditch. As the car passed me I saw a slender hand flicking me off.
