Chapter 13

Why did you say it?
What if he humiliates me for calling him my husband?
He will humiliate me in front of the guard and his cousin for it. I'm sure about it. I bit my lower lip in dismay. I slowly looked at him and was surprised. Instead of anger, I saw amusement in his eyes. I blinked my eyes, not believing it. The corner of his lips lifted when he saw that. He was now even more amused. My face turned red. I waited for him to deny it and insult me, but to my surprise, he came forward and started to wipe the juice off my face with some tissue. I moved my face back a little, not knowing what he was planning to do. He handed me the tissue, and then he removed his jacket and dropped it over me. Talia gasped when he did that. She was beyond shocked—not as much as me. He has never publicly shown his care before. My heart started to beat fast once again at his unpredictable actions.
“You are trying to seduce him,” Talia accused me. Pulling me back out of my thoughts.
“Lilian is in the hospital, and you are trying to take advantage of it,” Talia accused me as if Lilian were his mate and not me. My jaw clenched, and I pressed my lips together.
“I'm going to tell Lilian everything. I'm going to tell you how you are trying to get my cousin in your dirty claws,” she kept accusing me of taking out her anger and jealousy on me. She couldn't handle it when people sided with me.
"Talia, it's enough,” Mason suddenly commanded her, which made her flinch in her place.
“Take her away,” he said to the guard. Guard hesitated. He gestured to the guard to take her away, and he couldn't refuse his alpha. He took away screaming Talia.
“Let's go inside.” Mason took me inside the house while keeping his hand on the small of my back. I felt weird when he did that. I gave him a small nod. We walked inside the house but were stopped by Talia's mother.
"Mason, how could you humiliate Talia in front of the guard and this omega?” his aunty said. She was not pleased by how the guard took Talia inside.
“The low life of Omega is more important in your life than your cousin Talia,” she questioned again, and tears started to form in my eyes. She was so angry, and I was scared by the way she was looking at me.
“Enough! How dare you talk like that about your Luna?” Grandpa appeared from behind. He heard everything.
"Dad,” she tried to say, but Grandpa stopped her. He was a former Alpa, so everyone had to listen to him.
“Get out of the house,” he said, and she gasped in disbelief. He was angry, showing off his alpha side. She grinds her teeth and walks out of the house in anger.
"You are to come inside the house,” he told both of us, and we followed him inside without saying a word. I went to the washroom and washed my face. I was surprised when I found Mason waiting for me outside.
“Let's go,” he said while taking my hand. He took me to the dinner table, where everyone was already waiting for us. As soon as we arrived, dinner started.
"Roslyn, dear, don't take it to heart and enjoy the dinner,” Grandpa said softly. Talia, who was sitting opposite me, glared at me.
“Grandpa, don't worry. Please enjoy your food,” I said, and it made him smile at me. I didn't have much of an appetite, but I found my plate getting filled as soon as I finished my food. I caught Mason putting more rice on my plate when I was talking to a family member. I glared at him, but he ignored me and put chicken on my plate. I wanted to stop him, but I couldn't do it in front of Grandpa. Grandpa Ken was happy looking at how Mason was taking care of me. I don't know if he was doing it for show or out of care.
“Don't put so much food on my plate; I can't finish it,” I said, trying to stop him.
“I know you can finish it. Eat,” he said, firmly refusing to listen to me. I pouted when he said that. I was talking with Grandpa when he kept his hand on my thigh. I gasped when he pushed the hem of my dress up and brushed his callous fingers on my upper thigh. What is he doing in front of everyone?
"Stop,” I said quietly while pushing his hand away from my thigh, but he refused to do it. He kept it firm there and pinched my inner thigh. I gasped when he did that. A big lump formed on the base of my throat. My face flushed red, and my heart started to beat fast. I glared at him, and in return, he smirked at me. I pressed my lips together, stopping myself from making a sound. What if someone notices it? This time, I pleaded with him with my eyes to move his hand, but he moved his head in no way. His eyes glinted in amusement when I said that. His fingers started to caress my inner thigh. I felt the ripples of sparks all over my body when he did that. My eyes widened. He was once again making me feel those weird emotions. Those bittersweet foreign emotions tickle my stomach. My breath became shallow, and my face flushed even more. Why is he teasing me like that?
"Roslyn, dear, Are you not feeling well?'' Grandpa asked, looking at my flushed face.
“Do you have a fever?” he asked, looking at my flushed face. Mason looked at me with a serious face, but I could see amusement in his grey orbs. As if he did not have his hand on his thigh. I flushed even more. Mason's hand remained firm on my thigh.
How should I explain what I was feeling?
