His Rejection

I should have turned around and gone back to my room rather than standing in his presence and feeling the mate bond buzzing around us. I know what is happening and I can tell Quentin is frustrated with the pull between us and I can see the determination in his eyes to know the truth.

" Damien! Can you give us a minute, please?" He asked, more as demanded. Damien looked at me nodding his head and left us alone.

I stood there like a fool burning in his intense gaze, my breathing changed and it felt like I was going to pass out with his intensity.

" Why did you run?" He took steps toward me slowly like a predator wanting to catch his prey.

I don't know what to answer him as I don't have anything to say. I am tired of everything and only the one to feel this bond. I don't want to feel it because he is not going to believe it rather he will accuse me of something I am not.

" We were crossing boundaries which we shouldn't. If I had stayed then we would have regretted it." I didn't meet his eyes but the way his scent is invading my senses and the way my body is buzzing with the awareness of his body heat and the way Lora is dancing in my head indicates that he is so close to me.

" I wouldn't have regretted anything." He rasped out tilting my chin up and making me meet his eyes which held the same passion and intensity as the other night. I gasped feeling his hand on my chin and the emotions swirling in his eyes.

" Why?" A barely whisper left my mouth and I was drowning in his eyes. He doesn't know what he is doing to my heart and my body but the effect is because of our mate bond and I wouldn't have felt these things for him if he was not my mate.

" I don't know and you are going to tell me why I'm attracted to you and why I am not thinking about my mate but about you. You are not going to run away this time without telling me what this is." He pointed between us, narrowing his eyes at me.

" I don't have anything to say as I don't know why you are attracted to me." I met his angry eyes not backing away. He is not going to believe my truth so it's better not to say anything.

His eyes changed their color to red and a strange aura started to surround him making goosebumps raise on my body. I don't know what he is trying to do but he seems angry and he is concentrating on me not blinking his red eyes.

" What are you doing?" I asked, He stumbled back like thunder struck him and his eyes changed back to their original color and he had disbelief on his face.

" W…What are you?" He asked, confusion clouding his face and mine mirrored his. What is he talking about? I didn't do anything, he was the one who was staring at me and trying to do something and now he is asking what I am!

" I am not getting what you are trying to say nor the way you tried something before." I glared at him, I don't care if he is the devil king or what. I don't fear him.

" I tried to hypnotize you but it didn't work, what you really are, Aiza! I want the truth." He gritted out moving towards me with an angry stride but I didn't budge from my place and I don't want to.

" You don't understand even if I tell you the truth and I don't want any more reasons for you to hate me," I mumbled feeling helpless in front of my mate. I never thought I would have a mate and at the same time, I never thought I needed to suppress my feelings and emotions in front of the man I am attracted to. It's too damn hard to do that.

" Try me, Aiza! But I need the truth, I don't want to be away from you even for a second. My hands are itching to touch you and my beast wants your taste again. It's frustrating to want something which is not yours." He placed his hands on my shoulders and the familiar tingles spread through my body and everything around us disappeared leaving only me and him.

"It feels so wrong at the same time so right. I need to know what this is so I can breathe properly." He is showing his vulnerability right now and I don't know how to handle that. My heart and my head are screaming two different things. I don't know whom to listen to.

We were both standing so close to each other again breathing the same air and our scents mixed with each other intoxicating me and making me high on him.

" I…I don't know if you will believe me but it's hard for me too, Quentin!" my hands raised towards his face and my fingertips felt his subtle hair on his jaw. He is breathtakingly beautiful and I can't seem to get enough of his beauty.

" Aiza! Can I kiss you?" He asked, his eyes moving from my eyes to my lips I can clearly see his desire to kiss me and I can't help myself too. I nodded my head permitting him to claim my lips.

Lora is happy that his mate is acknowledging her and she is getting to meet his other half as he is calling it a beast. I want to take the chance of telling him what we are.

Our lips meet in a soft touch making my toes curl in pleasure. I have never known only the lips of your mate will feel like this. He is consuming and claiming every part of my body.

His tongue nudged my lips asking permission to let him in and I happily permitted him the mere touch of his tongue with mine made me see fireworks behind my closed eyes. Our tongues tangled together in a battle against each other trying to dominate.

Bodies pressed together right without an inch of gap between us. His hands in my hair pulled me close to him and my hands roamed his body trying to remember every hard pec and dip of his strong build. We were so engrossed in each other that we hadn't heard anything for the first time but the second time we heard it clearly and our bodies stilled when the voice reached us.

" Quen! Quentin! Baby!" came the high-pitched voice frantically.

Quentin's hands moved from my hair to my shoulders instantly and he pushed me away like I was a sin he was committing. His rejection made me stuck for a second like I was nothing but someone he can discard easily.

I didn't wait there even for a second, gulping down my anger and pride. I dashed out from there. I was going to tell him that we are mates and I was going to give him and our bond a chance but he discarded everything in a second. I am not going to stay and fight for someone who knows nothing about the truth and can easily get swayed.

Lora is so furious and I can feel the burn of her anger but I don't want to destroy anything anymore. I need to calm myself down first.
