Chapter 37

"Zeus, have you passed?"
"Yung nga I was telling them to drop by on my house at 6 its my birthday, and selene planned to give me a birthday celebration in my house."
"Well happy birthday but .... a-ah sure expect us to be there."
"Yown! Thank you riley!" He smiled again at me, a kind of heart melting smile that only in A Zeus Frost you can only see.
"I'll wait for you, hey little pup! I'll expect you there don't get lost."
"I'm not going to miss a nosy mosquito's birthday."
"Nice, I'll go ahead and prepare first, dude, come too."
"Sure, Happy birthday bro."
zeus just greeted him and looked at me again still smiling.
"Riley, I'll be the first."
"Okay take care."
"Thank you," He turned to Katelyn and kissed her on the cheek to her surprise, zeus whispered something else to her that made the other cheek blush. Smell something fishy.
Katelyn was embarrassed to face me. I'm not stupid and even more so I'm not blind so it's not likely that something is happening to them, and I know they know these two are wrong but I can't do anything I can't interfere with them because even if it's forbidden I know it's not their fault, you feel it on purpose and at all.
"Cai are you sure you're going? Maybe you'll miss it."
"Don't worry about me, you two are there."
"Okay all right ... katelyn maybe you're planning to buy your boyfriend a gift, aren't you?" He blushed at what I said and his eyes widened as he looked at me.
"A-what ?! o-oy! That's not my boyfriend!" I heard Caiden laugh a little.
"Too defensive kate, oh hey I'll be the first of you two, I'll just pick you up later at your house."
"All right be careful."
"For you I will."
"Ayiee you two now, what? Is it a road to forever?"
"Shut up katelyn maybe you want me to marry you to zeus" He immediately fell silent.
Caiden laughed and shook his head and said goodbye again then left.
"What? Come on? Buy that as a gift"
"Reign, are you teasing me?"
"No."
"Oh! Let's go to the parlor hehe, we'll be able to buy a dress in a few hours."
"Then I'll pay?"
"Of course! Who else?"
"Tss. Buraot really."
"Nevermind." she gigled as she pulled me out of my café. We just took a taxi and dropped off at the nearest mall, he pulled me over to the boutiques and I was almost overwhelmed by the clothes here screaming with elegance.
"Look at this is a nice thing for you."
"Isn't that very revealing?"
"No, it's a trend, so just now you can beat that place. I just don't care if the sage over there doesn't crawl and snatch you from Caiden later." She handed me a black fitted dress that didn"t reach to my knees, she was short and by chance it was the shortest I wore except for shorts.
"All right, try to find me here first." I fell on my shoulder and obeyed him when he pushed me into the fitting room.
I tried to wear it, I was right when I thought it didn't reach my knees, maybe it's not bad to show skin even now, right? I also like Katelyn's idea.
He is sleeveless and only has a small ribbon at the back of the neck that serves as a strap, on the chest part it is open so my cleavage was really revealed. It was also open on both my waists as well as on the back but I ignored that. I am not good at describing dresses, as long as she is revealing that.
I went out of the fitting room and katelyn looked at me. He was suddenly dazed and looked at me from head to toe and later his gaze returned to my face.
"Oh my god, you're hot, you're still sexy! I hope so."
"Aish what's okay with that?"
"Yes! That's what you're wearing, isn't it?"
"Fine."
"God, I know you're sexy. I don't know that you're even sexier. Infairness, you're already full."
"Whatever katelyn." I immediately switched and followed him shopping for more of him. In the end she chose the white dress that was a bit like mine, also revealing it and I could see her belly.
After we paid at the Counter, we went straight to the heels. I choose the black one while his is silver. Then we went straight to a salon. We were quickly assisted, we also put on make -up and got dressed. I was annoyed by the compliments of those who assisted us so I remained silent.
I looked at my whole being in the mirror, they fixed my hair, they completely dyed it gray and then made it wavy. It was short and didn't go over my shoulder which really suited me, they binraid the left side of it and left the other side down. They put a maroon lipstick on my lips, and not that dense make up.
"My boss is really nice" Katelyn gigled as I raised my eyebrow at her.
"Is combative."
"Hurry up and caiden will be waiting for us."
"I'm next, he'll pick us up here, masix too oh."
"Okay." I got up and paid and then we left.
I can't understand why I'm so conscious when we go out, it's as bad as the people we meet to look. Or maybe I"m just not used to this kind of wearing. After leaving, Cai was also there, he smiled at me.
"Still gorgeous,"
"Don't brag when we open the door." I said rudely even though I was already smiling.
While on the trip I never lost sight of what might happen later. I felt nervous so I leaned over and thought about how to deal with sage, Luna will probably be there again. Annoyance immediately covered my chest as I remembered what I had seen before.
I need to be ready, I can't show that I'm affected by the two of them.
You need me sage, more than you need that girl so I know you're still mine, just mine.
After descending, we went straight inside the house of zeus, he greeted us with a big smile.
"Happy birthday Zeus"
"Happy birthday again bro"
"Happy birthday."
"Thank you, thank you guys, go ahead, go ahead don't worry there aren't that many visitors."
"Reign! Finally I miss you!" Selene hugged me quickly I groaned in her sudden act.
"Selene, Reign just arrived, maybe he'll come home right away because of you?" Selene's eyes rolled when she let go of me because of her cousin's joke.
"Oh come on birthday boy, reign won't do that and ow? Do you have someone with you?"
"Caiden blake is the name." Caiden introduced himself to selene who looked at him and smiled.
"You're cute, I'm selene frost Zeus' cousin."
"Enough with your introduction guys, lets go."
We went straight to the back and here are their other guests, we are the only ones here. The venue is really eye catching. The lights, the flowers, its simple but elegant.
The two people talking immediately grabbed my attention, everyone present became silent when they saw us but that also disappeared immediately. Luna and sage turned to us last.
I noticed the difference in the expression on his face as if someone didn't like it, he's looking at my body. And it was like a fire that suddenly blazed his eyes that I averted my gaze.
"Here we are, come on."
They handed me wine which I immediately accepted.
"This is nice" Cai said amazingly next to me and looked at me. I just sipped the wine handed to me and chose to roll my eyes.
"I can't help but to be conscious on that sage's kind of stares." caiden laughed.
"Just don't mind him." I tried to hold his hand but I was surprised when they wrapped it around me, I suddenly felt nervous for an unknown reason, my eyes searched for Sage's eyes and I was even more enveloped by the coldness of seeing if he was looking at the folded hands. cai and me while drinking wine. But that disappeared when I saw Luna hug him and it grabbed his attention, he even gently hugged his arm around his waist causing me to lose my appetite. I swallowed the wine and acted heavily as I lowered it. My breathing wasn't right either because I seemed to be in control and I found out that it didn't explode because of the mixture I was feeling. I knew caiden felt that so he quickly addressed me.
"Hey, don't look at them okay? Just look at me this time, the whole night I'll be here." I nodded and hugged him, soon after the song was replaced by sweet. Caiden pulled me as he put my hands on his shoulder and his hands on my waist, almost touching my bare back.
"Do you remember our JS prom? You were my first and last dance."
"Yeah, and crisan was grumbling so I tasted the strong blow of Heels when I got home." I laughed at the story that was saddened by the expression in his eyes.
"I wish I had done something for you before."
"Past is past caiden, if I myself have done nothing for myself eh." He caress my face like he was trying to memorize every part of it.
"It's sad to think that I didn't have the chance to make you mine. Even now I know you're no longer mine."
"Caiden."
"I still love you, Reign. I love you so much." It seems like everything around us stopped in a minute. Even I stopped moving and seemed deaf to what he said.
I tried to find the person I wanted to see with my eyes before I told caiden something I knew would hurt him but I didn't know I would have done that, I found him dancing with Luna, and little by little they will kiss.
I was swallowed up while holding back the tears that were about to drip.
"C-water--
"I know a lot has changed Reign. A few years later, I know even how you feel has changed as well."
"I love you caiden."
"I know, I know reign and I'm mass. I want you to know I've been happy." He nodded but the twinkle in his eyes did not pass me by.
"Please..d-don't cry." he ignored what I said and spoke again, words that only added to the pain I was feeling.
"When I see you again, I'm happy. I'm happy to find again the woman I once dreamed of being with in my life. But ... when I see you with her, in the same house, when you talk to her, I can see in your eyes the kind of look I haven't seen you yet. Your mate? That prince ... the next king of vampires, you love him reign don't you? "
"Deeper than you loved me back then." He added that it further prevented me from speaking. Because I knew in myself he was right.
"Please reign let me do this, I'm sorry but I need to do this for you, t-to stop your pain." Even though I couldn't speak to ask, he kissed me quickly, not even a few seconds later, a fist hit his face, causing him to let go of me. At the speed of events I no longer knew what to do.
I immediately approached to stop sage, he's stronger than cai, and he might even kill him. Cai can hardly fight because of sage's speed, you can include him in a rage.
"S-stop! Sage what ?! Sage please stop!" but he did not listen to me, the others present were already enveloped in fear, even Luna could do nothing.
I closed my eyes tightly and quickly hugged Sage away from Caiden, Luna quickly approached the bloody Caiden and forced you to talk to him. yakap ko.
"That's enough, please." He didn't say anything he just quickly removed my hug and quickly walked away.
I was stunned to find out what he did, when I look at selene, zeus and katelyn. Worries filled their faces as they look at me and to sage's direction.
They nodded at me and even though I was hurt I chose to chase sage but after I came out I couldn't see him anymore.
sage ...
I don't know where he went, he's not even at his house, I contacted selene but even they don't know where Sage is. Neither seems to be in their mansion.
I fainted sitting on the pavement. I was nowhere to be found, just like how I couldn"t find Sage.
I would have given up on finding another place that came to my mind, I wasted no more time and used my ability to get to that place immediately. The whole house was quiet but the main door was not locked. Here he is.
I didn't hesitate anymore and quickly entered it, I went straight to the bedroom and I found him lying on the bed while still wearing what he was wearing before. I slowly approached and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Sage."
"why are you here, go back reign."
"You're mad."
"No I'm not."
"Why did you do that to him?"
"Why did you let him kiss you." he asked me again, full of pain and resentment in his voice that made me feel heavy.
"I didn't expect it,"
"But you still let him."
"Why if you talk like I'm the only one? Who was the first sage? You didn't go home that night, I waited. And didn't even tell me why, at first I knew you were busy, when it was still sembreak and not I suspected you even though the answer to all my questions showed on selene's birthday, I waited for an explanation. Who's that girl, why does it seem like there is something strange in the actions of those two? I always see you together and you seem to have forgotten when I was the mate I'm the one you should be with because we'll get married soon but I'm the only one who looks like your woman? "
"Do you know how hard I tried to act still fvcking normal huh sage? Even if it's Luna, it's okay ..." I couldn't help but cry.
"I was damn hurt I admit. Because I fvcking love you that it hurts a lot! I am fvcking deeply in love with you that it breaks my heart." I looked at him as my tears continued to flow.
"I fvcking tried to stay away didn't I? Cause I know from the very start when I woke up, it is not the contract that I can't accept. It is the feelings, the weird feelings I know I am feeling towards you that I don't want to be named. "
"I don't understand, since I lived in your world I promised to be brave, but why when you come my weakness is my weakness, my fragility."
"I love you sage, so if you're just using me, if you love Luna, please tell me and let me go." This time we are staring at each other. He got up and gently touched my face and forced to remove the tears from my cheek as he hugged me tight.
"Baby please don't say that, I am not using you. I will not let you go. You're mine Reign, and I won't let anyone steal you away from me, I can't afford that, please stop crying. " His voice is now soft and calm. I slowly hugged him back and just cried on his chest.
"I-I'm sorry." I manage to say between my sobs.
"Shhhhh ... Don't be"
"Are you still mad?"
"I told you I am not mad ... I am just .... hurt and jealous." I was silent at what he said, does it mean he feels the same way?
I let go of the hug and stared into his face. Why can't I fall for him, he is totally Caiden's opposite.
He's a demon. He doesn't care.
A short-tempered. The head quickly heats up and I run out of patience.
A ruthless. He has no mercy when fighting, how many times have I seen that. Even in a fight he could almost kill.
A fvcking Cursing machine. I often hear him swear, especially when he is upset or angry he swears at me even worse.
A serious and cold man. Often quiet, and without emotion on the face, even if there is definitely you do not want to see. You can't see him smile, his forehead is always furrowed and he seems to be studying your every move.
A manipulative. He always wants everything to be under his control. What he wants you to follow and he does not want to disobey his wishes.
A mysterious and mischievous one. He has too many secrets, that you will kill for just to know it. The smiles and looks he has are very meaningful but hard to read. Deceptive and deceptive.
A prince. He's higher than me, or of anyone of us. He's a prince that sooner or later will be the king, the most strongest and powerful among us.
But, he is also my protector, not even just a prince but also my knight in shining fangs and burning red eyes.
I didn"t know that in those events, in my avoidance, in all everything I did to him and he did to me would be one of the reasons for me to fall for someone like him.
"I want you to trust me reign. Even if I am hurting you. I want you to still trust me." I nodded as I felt his lips claimed mine.
"I will." I said before I kissed him back with the same intensity.
KINABUKASAN
I woke up with Sage hugging me tightly. I am still wearing my dress and he's still on his sleeves and tie. This is my second time in this house, his mom's house. It looks like this is his other run whenever he doesn't want to search.
I slowly turned around and looked at him. He's sleeping silently with his half open lips. He looked so angelic when he was sleeping, you thought he couldn't kill, on the contrary when he was awake he often frowned and thought he was always angry.
To be continued...
