Chapter 31
“Argh, I can’t believe the nerves of that jerk!” I groaned as I finally got near my room’s door.
A maid who was walking past gave me a judgemental stare but I couldn’t care less and was too angry to even acknowledge her.
When I got to the door, I opened it and proceeded to bang it shut, brushing my hand through my hair.
Unbelievable…
My breath ceased when I remembered how Celine had been all over Kaelos when I walked into his office.
And how Kaelos had just sat there and done nothing.
Like, how could he still be with his ex-wife, of all people? And why the fuck do I care?!
“It’s that fucking mate bond messing with my head again,” I muttered, rubbing my forehead with irritation. “I don’t know how werewolves can deal with the insanity but I sure as hell can’t. I need to get rid of this… Feeling somehow.”
As soon as I said that out loud, I scanned my gaze around the room and realized just how messed up this was.
I’m in my room, alone, talking to myself while my so-called husband is in his office smooching his ex.
I chuckled dryly when I thought about it clenching my jaw before muttering coldly. “Oh, I swear, if I had my magic I’d deep fry that bitch all the way to–”
Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door, causing my heart to skip a beat as I whipped my head to the door.
I held my breath, my heart pounding heavily against my chest as I waited for the person at the other end to speak.
“Odessa?” Kaelos called out from the other end of the door with a calm voice.
Shit!
I knew it had to be him. Why did it have to be him?!
“Odessa? I know you’re in there.” He muttered, knocking again.
I quickly scurried to the door and locked it gently, holding my breath all the way.
I sighed heavily, placing both my hands on the door frame and leaning against it as I tried to catch my breath.
“Oh, and now you’re locking the door,” Kaelos mumbled with a chuckle, but the pitch of that chuckle told me that he didn’t find any of this funny one bit.
My breathing hitched as I tried listening closely.
It was weird how I could almost hear his heartbeat from here. I could almost hear each breath he took and could almost imagine his facial expression.
The lines on that handsome face of his as well as the irritation in those silver eyes. Those piercing silver eyes which seemed like I was staring at the moon.
“Gods, I’m going insane,” I whispered to myself, shaking my head and slowly stepping away from the door.
To my surprise, Kaelos sniggered. “I heard that. Trust me, you don’t want to know how deep that insanity runs at my end. You don’t know how crazy I feel right now. You don’t want to know how badly I want to break this door off its hinges just to touch your face.”
My heart fluttered at his words, my shoulders relaxing a bit as my breathing calmed down as well.
I bit my bottom lip, pondering on what to do.
Jumping out of the room’s window or scaling down the balcony wouldn’t be an option.
And it’s already been established that Kaelos was a jerk who didn’t understand boundaries and would probably break down the door like he said.
Would he though? Would he do something so rash?
’Yes, he would.’ a voice at the back of my head whispered, causing me to sigh heavily.
I gritted my teeth, staring at the door as I slowly stepped forward, stretching my hands to the door knob.
Meanwhile, Kaelos seemed to be growing increasingly impatient and continued knocking. “Whatever you think is happening between Celine and I isn’t it at all. So why don’t you be a good little witch and–”
Before he could finish that sentence, I opened the door only to see the tense expression on his face.
My gaze went from his lips to his piercing silver eyes but I made sure not to show any reaction to seeing him up close and cleared my throat.
“You have such an amazing way of making any slight good thing you do unfathomably ruined with that mouth of yours.” I remarked, referring to him calling me ’little witch’ after all those flowery words.
What did I expect from the mighty Alpha king?
“Well, go on,” I said, folding my arms in front of my chest. “Explain yourself. Didn’t I interrupt something between you and Celine?”
I watched him dim his eyes at first, causing me to arch an eyebrow in return.
Did he find my question weird? Because if he did, he might as well…
“Are you jealous at the idea?” He suddenly queried with an annoyingly calm tone, causing me to open and close my mouth repeatedly.
But soon, I clenched my jaw, my grip on the doorknob tightening as I glared at him.
“You’re unbelievable; you know that, right?” I stated, scoffing soon after.
But he didn’t say anything, a sly smirk curling up the corner of his lips.
Maybe this was a bad idea…
“Forget it.” I shook my head dismissively. “I found out that the nature of the magic used to drain the maid’s life force would allow the culprit to empower themselves in some form. Meaning, they’re probably still out there and will go for more victims.”
He merely nodded in response, not seeming interested in the discovery I made from hours of grueling research and investigations.
Sighing, I was about to shut the door but added. “You can leave my room now. Good night. I hope you and Celine have as much fun as we did this morning. That’s if it meant anything, of course.”
Without another word, I shut the door slowly, making sure to keep my gaze away from him and those annoying eyes of his.
However, before I could lock the door, Kaelos easily pushed it open and waltzed in, his gaze locked on me. Check latest chapters at (.)net
“First off, this mansion is mine and that includes this room and most importantly He paused, tilting his head with an unknown glint in his eyes.
The tension in the room spiked up instantly as he took several strides forward and for some reason, I didn’t try moving back.
You’re mine.” He muttered before he raised his hands and grabbed my head, pulling me into a steamy kiss that left me breathless.
