Chapter 23 (EDITED)
Fate is a funny thing (Amma POV)
"stay on your feet," Andrès says before pushing me causing me to fall on the mat, this time luckily i didn't fall on my face, but I did land on my iPod that was in my back pocket.
i hope it's not broken.
"Maybe if you stopped pushing and shoving me"I grunt standing up " it would be easier for me to stay on my feet!"
Andrès gives me bored expression in return, I hate him! we've been here for a few hours and we haven't accomplished anything since the other day.
"make a fist," he says
I do, then I feel his presence behind me, his chest is on my back and before I can turn around his fingers curl around my wrist sending shivers down my back "wh-"
"shh-" he cuts me off lifting my arms to my face " your fists need to be near eye level" he whispers
His breath on my neck awakens the butterflies in my stomach- no I don't have butterflies in my stomach because this doesn't affect me, nope!
He lets go and I let out a breath of relief but then I feel his hands on my waist, there's warmth that overwhelms me, I felt like I was melting maybe I was by the way my knees were about to give out
" slightly, bend" he whispers
I feel myself being bend that's when I come back to reality and I jump and move to the other side of the room so quick.
"wh- what do you think you're doing?!" I growl
Andrè's bites his lips, that's weird I've never seen him not scowl, but that's not the weird part, then he takes a step towards me, his brown staring deeply at me.
okay so maybe I shouldn't have worn the grey shorts today, but it was warm... " stop it, this is not part of the training," I tell him taking a step back
"what is not part of the training Amma?" he asks taking another step,
my back hits the wall and that's when I realise I am screwed! I look around the room for an escape, no luck.
I look at him ready to beg him to stop creeping me out when I realise that he was looking at me with mischief glint in his usual hard eyes, it was tiny but there was a glint.
he wants me to fight him off! my muscles start to relax at that.. okay I need a plan because there's no way I can fight him off, but maybe I can outrun him.
i realise that he was getting closer to me, I need to act now! "don't!" I shout
Andrés stops mid-walk " or else what?" he growls
he was enjoying this? not as much as me real soon.
" count to ten, "I blurt out
He gives me a confused look but before he can figure out what I am up to I quickly run the other way, up the stairs thank god the doors were open or else he would've caught me.
i bolt down the main stairs and quickly reach the kitchen it's empty because all the alphas are outside for their usual bonfire, maybe I can hide out there? no, it will be easy because they will probably tell on me!
the castle is so big and there are alot of areas that I failed to explore looks like right now is a good idea to go exploring.
I keep running turning from corner to corner, I can feel Andrés chasing behind me even though I can't hear him by the goosebumps all over my body I know he's very close.
There's an open doorway at the end of the hallway, it was a dead end either I turn around and face Andrès- NOPE!
I run straight into the darkroom, thanks to my werewolf genes I spot the long staircase, I keep running down for a while, that's how long it is.
suddenly i stop as the light turns on, the chase is over, damn it! my disappointment though is short lived as I realise that this place is a ballroom, not just any ballroom but a grand ballroom.
well at least used to be. The wooden floors were torn apart and the walls were ripping, it still looked beautiful even though it was being torn apart.
"Woah" I gasp looking up at the giant silver chandelier
" I think I am going to miss this ballroom the most"
At Andrès deep voice, i realise that my mouth was literally hung open, what? i've never seen something as beautiful as this room.
Andrès narrows his brown eyes at me then smirks I glare at him in return "
look at that, the mighty alpha Andrès has feelings"
"the mighty alpha Andrès" he repeats peering at me " I quite like that"
"shut up"
I freeze as soon as those words come out of my mouth, slowly I look at him to see that he was looking at me very weirdly, he didn't look mad or pissed off but amused?
I clear my throat after a few seconds of silence "wanna dance?" i ask him
I don't want to waste the opportunity, I am in this gigantic ballroom that looks like it belongs to a king back in the day, I wanna slow dance here even if it's with an alpha rogue.
'look at you, cozying up to our mate' my wolf says
' i am not!' I growl and shut her out
I look at Andrès who's brows were drawn together in confusion "so?" I wiggle my brows and extend my hand
" I've thrown a million parties over the years in this very room" he whispers "I have never danced and I am not starting now"
I pout " well I wasn't there for them, now I am here"
I reach for my iPod in my pocket and take it out, looks like the odds are in my favour tonight,it wasn't broken. I take the headphones out and scroll looking for the perfect song,
"what is that?"
"An iPod, it plays music," I tell him smiling,
it was kind of cute that he's never seen an iPod I don't blame him, he has literally been living under a rock.
before I can click on a song the iPod gets snatched from my hand, I try to take it back but Andrés lifts his hand higher.
damn him for being so tall.
I watch as he takes a closer at the device before he clicks on something, then he hands it back to me " if you're going to force me to dance, I pick the song" he grits out
I don't look at it i put it back on my pocket as the music starts to play, I extend and my hand this time Andrés takes my hand.
we start to waltz, shuffling our feet to the slow rhythm surprisingly he knows how to dance.
'If you ever want to join me, baby, I'll be dancing in the dark'
Andrès hand on my back disappears before I can react though he spins me and it felt so perfect, I stop spinning and he pulls me to his chest, my breath hitches as our eyes connect.
Andrés brown eyes were soft not the usual hard, cold colour but soft and warm like dark chocolate with a mischievous glint that seemed to reflect the corners of his lips, which was fighting a smile.
"what?" I ask
"fate is a funny thing" Andrés whispers
He leans down and captures his lips in mine, his lips were hard but the kiss was so gentle as if he was afraid to hurt me.
The kiss that nearly knocked me out turns out to be just a peck as the alpha pulls back his hot breath hitting my face.
Authors Note:
can you believe after 22 chapters they finally kissed? like what's up with that?
