Who's at fault
"Are you sure you are ok?" I watched Lisa hogging over Leon like a mother hen, checking up on him every five minutes like he would break any moment. I watch them from a distance watching his every move.
It's not a surprise that he doesn't remember anything from last night the part Alejandro displayed last night and erasing his memory would have been a piece of cake for him, Leon's wrists and ankles are badly bruised with how hard Alejandro had tied the ropes on, Leon keeps rubbing his sore skin but the confusion is clear in his eyes as to how it came to be.
"You look like a stalker," Josh poked at me, making fun of my stare at Leon, "oh, wait, you look like a creep, a pedophile, a child monster, ..." I glare ad him to stop his nonsense, he chuckles raising his arms in surrender.
"I'm keeping an eye on him so he won't disappear again," I tell him not taking my eyes off of Leon, he must have felt my strong gaze because he looks up and smiles at me, his face turning all red, the deep blush on his cheeks deepens when he saw my intense stare.
I caught awkwardly getting caught red-handed. The embarrassment doubled when his friends joined in teasing him at our staring contest.
"Let's go, we have a presentation on business ethics," Josh dragged me out of the cafeteria saving me from further embarrassment.
The lecture starts as soon as we take our seats, the professor seems quiet on energy today because 1st, he looks presentable, which is rear, and 2nd he is wearing a tie, which is a miracle in itself
"Did you know, he didn't even finish his high school. " murmurs go around where we were seated. "Yeah, looks like having money pays off," I look at Josh in confusion, our wolf hearing had intensified with people whispering all around.
he shrugs pulling out his binder to take notes, I do too ignoring everything else. the moment stops when the Dean of the University walks in with Alejandro tailing him
I sigh tiredly ' So, the whispering was about him, ' I think to myself
"Good afternoon students, I hope you are doing well, I'm sorry to disturb your class Mr. Seals but this would only take a minute, " The Dean began speaking, he looks back at us and smiles brightly " I hope you remember our chief guest from our Spring festival event, Mr. King, " he gestured at the well dressed in a grey three-piece suit, Alejandro King, looking as sinful as always.
He nods his head at him and looks around the room, I glare at him when our eyes collide and He smirks at me then his eyes turn to the front row seats where Leon and his sister were seated and then look back at me arrogantly.
"I can't believe he is here again," Josh comments through our mind link and sits straight, "For someone who doesn't remember you, he is someone you can't shake off," he snickered enjoying my torture.
I kick him in the shin and he grunts in pain, the dean goes on, droning on and on about our ethnicity and principles, well, as a werewolf he must have felt a total flamboyant to be able to meet our King in flesh. the smile on his face said he might shit Rainbows tonight.
"Mr. King has graciously offered to help us and have a small trip to the mountains, as the spring holiday season We will be spending three days and two night at the old Castle, That belongs to his ancestors and where he is currently staying at, please follow the rules and hope you will have a great time learning the old ways of the previous lives of the kings." his face turned bright red with excitement, the vain on his forehead looked about to burst out.
I stayed glued to my seat where everyone else clapped and whistled at the end of his announcement. I couldn't believe my luck, it was the last place I ever wanted to go.
Alejandro smirked one last time and left without another word, I put my hands on my face and groaned in vexation.
Josh pats my back "Your life sucks bro, With a capital S," I turned to face him and see him holding his smile, he burst out laughing looking at me giving him a death glare
I stomp my way towards the familiar scent and follow it finding my way to the culprit that is bound on ruining my life. I glare at him as soon as I spot him in a car in the staff parking lot. the black Audi stood out among everything else.
I strode there and open the passenger side door and sit on the seat closing the door with a thud.
He watches me make a fuzz with an amused smile. "I knew you would come," he said before locking the door and reversing the car, I looked at him shocked at his actions.
I wanted to speak with him in the car but looks like he had some other ideas. he pulled the car out of the parking lot with ease and drove off
"What the hell are you doing, stop the car let me out," I try unlocking the door moving to press the button but he stops me using his right hand and pushes me back on my seat.
"Be a good boy and put on your seat belts," He orders me like I'm one of his playmates.
I glare at him trying again to stop the car but he speeds off, he takes a sharp turn that got me sliding to the door losing my balance, I grab the seatbelt and put it on, not wanting to test his insanity.
He keeps driving without a word and the silence in the car becomes too awkward.
I watch the road and find him driving out of town, I turn to him in question "Where are we going? " I ask but he doesn't respond. "You know, kidnapping people is becoming a habit " I comment looking out the window.
"It isn't kidnapping when you walked into the car on your own," he said back turning his face to look at me.
I roll my eyes at him and saw something flash through his eyes. he tilts his head in confusion then get back at driving.
I lean my head on the side and watch the passing trees, trying to ease my brain into not thinking about how magnificent his scent smells, and the calls of his wolf to mine were giving me a headache, my wolf was being stubborn and was ignoring his desperate calls just like his host a.k.a me.
He finally stops at a fancy looking restaurant, the Valet runs to open his car door and holds it for him to get out, he runs to open mine as well but I open it on my own, within a flash the door is shut close in my face and opened again with Alejandro holding it open for me. I stay stunned at this kind gesture and my head reels with his mood swings.
he holds his hand out but I slap it away and get out on my own, he chuckles behind me and we walk inside the luxurious hotel and the interior makes me check my outfit, the atmosphere here was not suited for ripped jeans and a t-shirt with my sneakers.
"Table under the name King," he said with a strong voice, the Assistant at the table looked about to pass out.
We follow her to the table and Alejandro makes a grand gesticulation of holding a chair for me. I look at the assistant embarrassed to the core, we share the embarrassment when she realized what was going on in here. I watch her run out envious
I sat down on the chair and glared at him with all my might, he casually puts out the menu and scans it. the only thing I scan is his face, planning all kinds of scenario that ends up in his murder and with me in jail.
"Would you like the stake, I hear it's their specialty," he asks, his head still buried in the damn menu.
"I don't care about the fucking stake Alejandro, just tell me why we are here? and what do you want from me?" I explode at him but keep my voice low.
He looks at me after placing the menu down on the table, "Isn't it obvious, we are here because it's dinner time and I want to have dinner with you," he explains it like speaking to a child.
I look at him dumbfounded trying to frame a sentence that would counter it but came up with nothing.
"Why me?" I whisper " You said you don't remember anything and rejected me without thinking twice, so why now? why are you doing this to me? why don't you leave me alone, why not go our separate ways?" I ask him getting emotional, trying hard not to break down in this damn good restaurant.
He leans on the table and looks me in the eyes before replying " Because you challenge me, Which excited me, " his words confuse me, it might have reflected on my face because he continued "I have met with lots of people after regaining my consciousness, and none of them defile me as you do, " the depth in his voice and intensity on his stare had me squirming in my seat.
"It's annoying," he said "I like the challenge, makes me want to break the arrogance out of you, make you bend at my will, I want to see you on your knees begging for my mercy, I want to see you in submission,"
The world around me disappears and his words echoed in my head, getting me all hot and bothered. This moment is when I realized, I was royally fucked.
