Chapter 15

Sandra's POV

"Good morning, this is for you" Alessia handed me a bunch of fresh roses.

"Thank you. You look so happy today" I looked at the roses before giving her a look.

She sat down on the chair and grinned "yeah, kind of. I am happy because my brother is happy and the reason of our happiness is you"

"Me?" I frowned.

"Of course. You didn't realize it?" She shook her head " I know, you may find the situation along with us being weird but I know once you understand everything it will be easier for you to adjust the situation. It's just a matter of time.

"Alessia, now you are weird. What are you saying? I can't get any point" I said.

"I know, it's confusing," she said with a nervous laugh. "It's hard, really hard. Sandra there are so many things you needed to know"

"Like what?" I frowned.

"Like everything that's happening around here"

Her words are more puzzling. I can't fathom the meaning of it. What is she trying to say? What's there for me to know?

I placed the flowers on the table "I don't know why your brother kidnapped me here. He even used my mother to threaten me. I mean how could he do something like this? I- I don't even know him but he wants to cage me here, Alessia can you please talk to him and make him understand that whatever he is planning is dangerous. I can't stand this"

She sighed "I would have if there's any chance. But you don't know the problem rising outside. Once you are here, it will be difficult for you to go out"

"What do you mean?" I frowned again. Difficult for me to go out?

"Sandra, just know that it's not good for you to go outside this pack house. And why is that you will get to know soon. I think my brother is preparing to tell you the truth" she replied with a smile but her words are far from assurance.

"Truth? About what?" I asked.

Alessia smiled "about everything" she held my hand "Sandra, I know you are very understanding and have a good heart. And whatever my brother did was bad but can you please promise me something?"

I pursed my lips and looked at her.

"I know you must be confused about what's happening around," she chuckled. "But my brother is not as bad as you pictured him. Yes, he is aggressive and out of control sometimes but it's just his outer nature. I believe when you get to know him more you will understand his personality better than anyone"

There was sincerity playing in her beautiful dark blue eyes. Even though I wanted to refuse, I couldn't voice it out. Finally I sighed. Even if her brother is a big jerk, Alessia is sweet and loving.

"What do you want me to promise?" I asked her.

She grinned "I knew you would understand. Sandra, if my brother wants to say something, can you please listen to him first before reacting? I mean if he did something weird, really weird, will you at least try to figure out things instead of running away?"

"What if he hurts me?"

"Hurt you?" She laughed "believe me, he can hurt anyone but you. He will never lay a finger that is meant to harm you" she cupped my cheeks with a gentle smile playing on her lips "you don't know how precious you are to him Sandra. You may not understand it now but I promise you will soon. What I want to say is, can you please keep yourself a little calm when you are talking to him next time?" She gave a pleasing look.

I sighed "as if he will let me go without listening to him"

She laughed again "come on, he is not that bad actually. It's just his arrogance sometimes hit the nerves that makes others crazy"

I smiled at her words "that man from yesterday..he is…"

"Oh he is Aldric, Andriel's friend. They are childhood buddies and their relationship is kind of strong yet they always argue with each other which I don't know why. Besides, Aldric is a sarcastic man. He can't digest his food until he makes fun of anyone. And if he gets anything that shows your weakness I am warning you, he will use it as a weapon and tunt you until your ears bleed"

I laughed "is he that dangerous?"

She laughed and shook her head "no, but he teases others which irritates more. You will feel like dying is better than living and hearing his words"

I chuckled softly "your brother do know how to choose a friend"

She nodded, grinning "I guess you are definitely right. A sarcastic and arrogant is definitely a great pair"

"Um....so other than you, no one lives here?" I asked her.

"No, I live here because I don't want to go back to the main pack house. And Andriel bought this house because he wanted to stay alone"

"There's another house?" I was surprised by the revelation.

She nodded "yeah, this is not the main base. This is just a side house my brother bought for himself. And the main pack house is where our parents lives"

"You don't want to go to meet them?"

"We do, and soon you will too"

"Me?" I was shocked. “I need to meet his parents?”

"Yeah" she nodded.

"But why? I mean what's there to meet? I don't think it's appropriate " I shook my head. Just the mere thought of it, makes me terrified.

She laughed "I must say you look cute with that expression but let me remind you darling, you don't have a choice. But don't worry it won't be that soon. Before you go and meet them you need to know everything first"

Her words confused me. What kind of truth is she speaking about? What should I know?

"Ah... I think I need to go now"

"What? You are already leaving?"

"Uh-huh, I don't think I should be the third wheel between the couple " she laughed.

I was about to ask what she meant but my gaze fell on the person walking towards us and I understood her meaning. I sighed. I have to deal with him again.

"See you soon" Alessia waved her hand and left the garden.

"You are here? I was searching for you in the house" he smiled.

I turned my head ignoring him . Humph! Last night he threatened using my mother, then forced me to sleep on his bed.

"What happened? Someone looks angry today?" He said again.

I just eyed the flowers ignoring his presence.

"Hum...do you know how beautiful you look with that look of yours. As fresh as these flowers. Refreshed like just picked from heavenly garden" he whispered, occupying the seat where Alessia sat earlier.

My heart flattered suddenly. Hell this man knows how to use his sweet tongue. Such a flattery!

And you said he is arrogant. My mind mocked me.

He is arrogant.

I rolled my eyes at the ungrateful inner lady who was mocking me .

"Stop that. You can't flatter me with those ridiculous acts of yours" I snapped.

"Oh, is it?" He tilted his head "since this is the case then do you want me to use another method?" He smirked "you know when it comes to you, I can go to any extent"

I looked at him. I don't know but when he said the last line, I felt like something stirred inside me.

"To any extent?" I asked, looking deeply in his eyes. His dark silver eyes were pinning me. He looks so handsome.

"To any extent" he replied.

I blinked my eyes then shook my head a little. God, I was again drowned in his seduction. This man knows how to lure a woman so well.

He chuckled "what? Can't stand it? Why do you try to avoid it when you know you can't stand it?"

I glared at him "what do you mean?"

He smirked "I mean everything you know darling. Because I don't think I need to go through another session of explanation"

I tried hard to fight back the blush trying to stain my cheek "you are really full of yourself mister" I gritted my teeth.

"You just got to know that now?" He asked.

I felt like my blood was boiling "Oh my god, I hate you so much" I groaned.

He laughed "and I love you too darling"

"Who said I love you?" I glared at him.

"Oh, you just said it," he smirked. Such trickery.

My eyes widened "you" I angrily got up and poked his chest with my finger "do you have any shame?"

He grabbed my wrist and got up "No, I don't " he tugged me and pulled me to him "I would never have any shame as long as you are with me sweetheart. Your sweet scent doesn't let me think clearly. You have no idea how much of a torture it is" he whispered.

"You-" before I could finish he claimed my lips.

"Mmmm...." I struggled to break free but he held me so tightly to him grabbing the back of my neck to keep me in my position.

He bit, licked and sucked the life out of my lips. God his kisses are so intoxicating. It always makes my body hot and burns with desire. He pushed his tongue in mouth touching every inch of it. I felt my body getting hot as my lower part started to clench.

Traitorous body!

Before my body scream with desire he stopped and pulled away "fuck, you are so fucking sweet that it's hard to stop sweetheart"

I panted as I tried to catch my breath. He caresses my cheek.

"You are so beautiful and all mine" he leaned and placed a wet kiss on my cheeks.

He smiled as he moved away "now if your anger is gone, then come with me. I need to show you something"

"What?" I frowned.

"I can't tell you here"

"No, tell me here"

"So curious huh?" I rolled my eyes.

"Come on" he grabbed my wrist and pulled me with him.

"Hey" I held his hand which was holding my wrist "where are you taking me?"

"Somewhere"

"Somewhere where?"

"Somewhere you will know something"

I rolled my eyes at his answer "is that even an answer?"

"You will know when we reach there"

"Andriel, where are you taking me actually?"

He turned and sighed "just walk darling, you will know soon I promise "
