Chapter #33- The biggest mistake of my life.
(Edited- 21/05/2017)
"Alpha Ulysses?" I hesitantly take a bite of my pancake as I stare at him intently.
After a few seconds, when he still hasn't responded, I sigh and drop the fork on the plate, hoping to catch his attention.
He doesn't even spare me a glance, the buttered pancakes stacked in his plate have his total attention.
"You are being kinda immature, you do realize that, don'tcha?" I sip on my OJ as I preach.
Still no reply.
"You know it would really really help to know why the fuck you are angry at me!" I finally snap, having had enough.
The man has been ignoring me since last night.
"I am so fucking tired of you, you know? I mean you are so damn impossible! I swear to all things holy you are the worst Mate ev-"
He picks up his plate, throws it across the room and then stands up, flipping the table in the process.
Glaring at me with so much pent up emotion in his eyes, he turns around and leaves the room.
I am speechless as I stare at the mess he has made, my eyes blurry as I recall our fight from last night.
(☆▪☆)
As soon as my canines retracted, I licked the holes, sealing the mark and making sure that no more than necessary blood leaves his body.
I didn't get much time to wait and see how the mark turned out to be, because the second my tongue left contact with his body, his hands started shaking violently.
I sat back in fear as I stared at his body which was shaking severely.
"A-alp-ha" I stuttered, tears flowing freely from my eyes as I had no idea what the hell was going on with him.
I strated looking around, searching for my phone so that I could call Teague and ask him what the hell was happening to my Mate.
The minute my hand touched the sleek body of the phone, I felt the bed dip.
I turned back, only to see that the Alpha was no longer laying on the bed.
Where did he go?!
My question was answered by loud noises as my eyes focused on the silhouette, that was now trashing the room.
"Alpha Ulysses?" I flipped on my night vision so that I could see him more clearly.
See as to why he was acting so weird.
He probably didn't hear me as he continued flipping the nightstand table, picking up the lamp and banging it on the wall.
"Alpha Ulysses" I called again as I got off the bed and cautiosly made my way to him, hoping not to scare him.
I was standing behind him, my hand raised to tap his shoulder to gain his attention, when he suddenly turned around and stared at me with eyes that looked as cold as ice.
"A-aa-alp-phaa" I shrieked as I felt my back hit the wall, his body trapping me.
His harsh breath hit my face as his hands roughly grabbed my cheeks.
"Why the fuck did you do it?" He asked, his words a whisper, his tone deadly.
"Do what-t, Alpha?" I asked fighting my body's instinct to lean in to him.
I had almost lost him...
"Why the fuck did you mark me, Delilah?!" He growled in the back of his throat, his hold on my face tightening.
"You are hurting me, Alpha" I gasped out.
"Seems fair to me, Delilah. Considering the fact that you don't leave a single fucking opportunity to hurt me" What the fuck was he talking about?
"Answer my fucking question, Delilah. Why the fuck did you mark me?!" He demanded, this time backing his tone with the Alpha command.
He was making a big deal out of it. For no damn reason at all.
"To save you, you Asshole" That's what I imagined myself saying, but instead, I hung my neck in submission and said in a soft voice, "To save you, Alpha"
A thick finger jerked my chin up and my eyes clashed with his.
They were brimming with rage.
But why?!
"You had no right, Delilah Raymond!" He leaned in and whispered in my ear. "You had no right to do it"
Punching a hole in the wall, he looked at me with contempt and walked away, locking the door on his way out.
×××
After a few minutes, when I was sure I had cried more than I had ever cried before, I stood up, and started to bang on the door.
"Open the door Alpha!" I slapped my hands as hard as I could against the wood.
He didn't open the door.
I could feel him though. Feel him as though he was sitting beside me...
Sometime later, my body started burning up and I was punished with the heat's harsh waves.
They just kept coming and I whimpered each and every time a wave hit me.
Begged him to come and soothe the pain each and every time.
Only he didn't.
Somehow, I had hurt him in the process of saving him... I don't know how, but I had really really fucked up, because why else would he let me suffer this fucking punishment?!
(●.●)
I knock twice on the hardwood door of Alpha Ulysses' study, walking in uninvited when he didn't say anything.
"When are we going to head out for the office, Alpha?" I ask, making sure to keep my tone light.
He doesn't say anything and continues typing on his laptop.
I want to be angry on him for last night. Want to tear him a new asshole for letting me go through the heat alone last night, but for some reason, I can't get myself to be. Instead, for some unknown reason, I am feeling guilty...
"Uh... should I assume you are going to work from home today? Should I just go to the office by myself?" It is like I am talking to a fucking wall, and before I can lose my shit, my mobile phone beeps.
I unlock it only to see a mail from the company's official email id.
I click on it and start skimming through it, unconciously backing out from his study as I read the part that is written in bold.
Ash Inc. observes a holiday every full moon.
I am pissed that he has to send me a fucking mail instead of just telling it to me on my face, but for some reason I can not get myself to stand up, and walk to his study and shout at him.
The world must be coming to an end, because next thing I know, I am calling that one person I never expected I would call.
[€-€]
OLIVIA'S POV.
There is a skip in my step as I make my way to Ulysses' penthouse.
I am happy.
So so happy.
Luna Delilah called me 5 minutes ago and invited me over.
She invited me over!
I can't believe it!
I had always thought that she did not like me, but why else would she call me (me of all the people!) if she had a problem with me?
'Don't blow this over Liv' Destiny warns. She is as much whipped by our Luna as I am.
When she and Ulysses officialy complete the mating ceremony, I will be her guard. I've been training my whole life for it... and now, finally, I will get to do my job.
After he died, my sole purpose in life has been to become the strongest warrior so that I can fulfil my duty towards my pack and my luna.
Once I am standing outside the door, I run a hand over my oxford shirt and black jeans, smoothing over invisible creases as I wait for Luna Delilah to open the door.
I hope Ulysses is not home so that Luna and I can get some time alone. Get to know one another. The more comfortable she is with me, the more easier my job will be in the future.
She opens the door and smiles at me. Her smile looks pained and forced, but I ignore it.
Stay positive and positive things will happen.
"Come on in, Olivia" I smile at her and follow her in, kinda upset that she doesn't calls me Liv like all my friends do.
"Thank you for inviting me over, Luna Delilah" She frowns and says, "Call me Del"
I have to bite my tongue, it is hard for me to call her Del. It sounds too... I donno. I just feel like I am not giving her the respect she deserves by calling her Del.
But if it makes her happy, I will call her just that.
"Del" I nod my head and take a seat on the sofa.
She sits on the chair in front of me, wringing her hands in her lap as she stares at me through her eyelashes.
"I am sorry if I disturbed you, Olivia... I just needed to talk to somebody... it is important..." I am elated that she chose to talk to me about whatever it is, and before I can assure her that she didn't disturb me or anything, she adds,
"-It's about Alpha Ulysses"
Not waiting for me to say anything, she starts narrating what troubles her to me.
I can only gape.
(O.o)
"Please tell me Luna Delilah that you didn't really mark him just to save his life" I beg, grasping at straws that aren't even there.
She gives me a confused look and repeats, "I marked him to save him... Teague said it would make his immu-"
I don't care what that fucking cat said!
How could she do it?! How the fuck could she make such a big mistake?!
I realize that she grew up with humans... she has little knowledge about werewolf culture, but did she not read a single book that Lys had made Hades mail her?
Did she not read a single fucking one?
Or is she just fucking selfish?!
'It might have been an honest mistake on her part' Destiny is quick to jump in her defense. I block her, not wanting to argue with her over this.
Instead, I focus on Luna Delilah's face. I stare hard, trying go make out if she realizes the consequences to her actions.
Does she realize what Lys has lost because of her?
What the pack has (or might have) lost because of her?
When I see the naked curiosity on her face and the insecurity and fear in her eyes, I decide that she doesn't.
Unwillingly, my mouth moves, as I recite a couple of lines from 'All about Mates and Mating' the book that had been part of my syllabus in my freshman year of high school.
'He/She who shall mate for a reason other than love shall never bear a heir, for a heir is Moon's gift to Mated couples, rejoicing their Love'
Luna Delilah is confused for a couple of seconds, and I can almsot see her brain processing the words, because the instant their meaning clicks in her mind, all the colour loses her face.
She just realized she has made the worst mistake of her life.
😭😭😭😭😭
Hey wolves!
Tell me you didn't see this coming. Just confess it!
I bet all of you thought that now that the two of them have marked each other everything will be good and dandy, but this is Del and Lys we are talking about.
I feel bad for them though... what did you do Delilah?!
Okay... Don't kill me.
I will be back on Sunday with a brand new Chapter. Maybe.
Let's see...
Till then, good bye.
#Peace
