As soon as I stepped into the room, I froze on the spot upon hearing a cold voice. "Where the hell were you!"

I turned around and met the eyes of the person I least expected to see standing right there in front of me with a murderous look on his face.

A handsome face

Oh please. I've seen better

Really? Who?

Ummm.....

Cat got your tongue?

No. A wolf got my tongue. See what I did there? Cat- wolf

Yeah. And it was boring

"I asked you where you were" Alexander's voice boomed in the room and brought me out of my trance.

"Somewhere on Earth" I said nonchalantly which only seemed to fuel his anger.

"Answer me properly. Where. were. you?" He said through gritted teeth

"Why. do. you. care?" I said in the same tone. I never felt this great to get under someone's skin. God I sound like a psycho right now.

"Just answer me"

"Why should I just answer you?" I mocked. He clenched him jaws even more and the veins in his neck were more visible that I was afraid they might pop anytime now but I must say he looked more handsome when he is angry.

"You were out there, all alone even if you know how the situation is right now!" He shouted, not bothering to at least control his anger a bit more.

I scoffed "Since when do you care. And the situation is the same and nothing dangerous has happened! Stop acting like you care when you CLEARLY don't give a fuck about me"

"You knew clearly that you are in danger yet you still venture out there all alone!"

"I am not in danger. What nonsense are you speaking. Just because there is a war does not mean that I am the only one in danger"

"Really? You are not in danger?" He said in a deadly voice. "Then how do you explain this?" He lifted his hand that was behind his back, in front and my eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. The bloodied letter was in his hands. He saw the letter. Did he read it? "Or this?" He showed his other hand and this time I am pretty sure my eyes looked like big saucers. He was holding the black box with the rotting heart still in it.

"What should I explain? You are holding a black box in a hand and the other one a piece of paper." I shrugged, holding on to the hope that he did not read the letter

"Then from where did this black box and piece of paper come from? "

"Must have been a small childish prank. Why are you so worried for no reason" I rolled my eyes. Even if I appeared calm and composed form the outside, the inner me was freaking scared. The first thing is that he has the box with a rotting heart in it. Who would believe that this is a prank? Then the letter that literally says that they are after me is in his hands. How could I just leave it out like that. If he read it, he will want to know what happened which I can't tell him. Also, lets not forget the fact that my room looked like a tornado just passed through it. The cherry on top is the heated gaze of Alexander.

"Who are you tying to fool? This!" He motioned to the room and the items in hands "This is just a PRANK?"

"That's what I said. The room is messy because I was searching for something and like I said, the box and letters are probably a prank. So let's end this matter here" I sounded like a fool to myself. What am I supposed to do now.

He threw the box on the side in anger and it hit the walls, staining it with blood before falling on the floor. "Fine. The box with a ROTTING HEART is a prank. Then, this letter which says clearly that they want you dead, is a prank too?"

I opened my mouth to say something and closed it again as nothing came out. I knew no matter what I would say, he would not believe me. Hell even I don't believe myself. I looked down and shifted uncomfortable on my feet. I heard him sigh.

"So you did know that you were in danger and yet you still went outside."

"YES! I knew about the letter and yes I did go outside. If I don't care about it, then why do you care? Let it be. I am fine. See!? I am in one piece. Stop acting like you care when we both know you DON'T"

"Stop telling me not to care. I am your mate for god's sake" He said, exasperated

"Are we seriously having that talk again?" I looked up and was met with his hard chest. When did he get so close to me? I looked up and he was looking at me with calculating eyes

"You are the one who takes it in that direction every time we have a conversation."

I nearly laughed at his words. "You call whatever we had a conversation? Those were all stupid fights we had because you could not man up and tell me why the heck in the world I should not go out right now and tell everyone we are mates or why you behave like such an asshole." I poked his chest with my finger accusingly.

"Can we please drop that part for now and focus on the letter you got?"

"What do you want to focus onto? I am pretty sure you read and they want me dead. That's all." I said as I took the letter from his hand.

"Yeah and I also read the other part too. What did he mean by the fact you were saved the first time?"

"Nothing"

"Then why does he want you dead?" He continued asking me the questions and I felt those memory rush back to my head. I can't lose control again right now.

I took a deep breath "I-I don't know" I looked away from him, trying to find anything to get my mind off these thoughts.

"Did you tell you father about the letter?" He asked

"He does not need to know" I looked in his deep blue eyes. At that time, I just got lost in them. They were like a deep ocean that I did not mind to get lost or drown in forever. The depth looked like peace to me and a strange sense of calmness went through my body.

"Why?"

'Oh well if he knew I don't think he would even consider it twice before giving me to the enemy on a platter' I bit my tongue and held in the words.

"I don't want him to know"

"Too bad he will know."

"You will not tell him anything" I said in a strong voice as I looked at him dead in the eyes.

"Fine. I won't" he said casually as he put his hands in his front pocket. "But" Of course the freaking but. "You will have to tell me then."

"Yeah keep dreaming" I rolled my eyes.

"Your choice" He turned and headed to the door but I put the same spell as last time. He was sent a few steps back and he looked at me in annoyance.

"You're right. It's my choice" I shrugged and smirked at him. I went and sat on the edge of my bed.

"So this is what you are going to do? Keep me locked in here?"

"Locked? No I don't do these things. I say we just have a nice conversation this time. A real one" I ass the last part, sarcastically

"What?" He crossed his arms and leaned against the door.

I knew I was going to regret this but as long as my parents did not know about the letter, I was okay. "What do you want to know so that then you will not tell my family. And I am saying no one in my family should know about it"

"I don't know why but you sure don't want your family to know about this." He sighed before continuing "I want to know about what incident he was talking about in the letter"

Could he not start with simple questions instead? Obviously I was not going to tell him everything now. "Well, when I was five, we were attacked and that's it. I was saved by the guards"

He hummed in response but I knew he did not believe it. At least not entirely. "And that is why he said your parents sent you away or that they started hating you?"

"Umm that part is made up. I was sent away to be safe and my family does not hate me." Wow, I never knew the day would come when I would be praising my family. Guess nothing is impossible after all.

"You are clearly hiding something. If you don't tell me, I will not be able to help you"

"I don't need your help. And I am not hiding anything." I deadpanned. "Even if I was, why would you be interested in knowing it? Wouldn't you be more interested in going with my sister and knowing her secrets instead. Pretty sure she has tones of them and she would not mind telling you"

He took menacing steps to where I was and placed his hands on my sides, trapping me. "I am not interested in knowing your sister's secrets. I don't care what she does. I am not interested in spending time with her." He whispered in a cold voice coated with sexiness that opened the zoo in my stomach. Oh my god. Even in this situation, I was being a horny girl. The sparks that I was feeling due to our closeness was not much of a great help either.

"Last time it did not seem like that" I rolled my eyes

"That was a misunderstanding you had." He looked me dead in the eyes. His handsome face was even more handsome in the moonlight. His sharp facial features, especially his eyes, wanted to make me keep looking at him. His lips... I wanted to taste them so bad.

Before I could help it, the next words flew out of my mouth. "Prove it"

He looked at me for a while with calculating eyes before started leaning close to me. My breath hitched my throat. Was he actually going to kiss me?

As he leaned closer to me, I could not help but lean backwards. His eyes was locked with mine and we kept staring at each other. It felt like time had stopped around us. Not able to lean further back, I fell straight on my back, on the bed. My breathing got even deeper and my heart was beating so hard.

He was top of me and I could not help the blood that was rushing to my face as he came closer to me, not breaking eye contact even once. His eyes darted to my lips and he licked his lower lips before looking back at me. God that was so sexy right there. As I felt his hot breath fanning on my face, my eyes closed on their own accord and I found myself gripping the bed sheets. The closeness between us was getting harder to resist and it took me everything to not just kiss him right now. I waited for his lips to claim mine but instead I felt him moved away from me.

The heat that was generating from his body disappeared as well and was replaced by a cold breeze. How could I even think about this. He does not want me. He turned the other way as he passed his hands though his hair and he seemed to be having an inner battle to control him. I sat up straight and took in a deep breath to calm myself down.

"That should not have happened." He finally said first and I looked down to hide my disappointed face from him. I quickly masked my face with my cold expression and quickly removed the spell from the door before saying. "Leave"

The next thing I knew was that he was out of the room, leaving me like a mess on my bed. Why could we not be like any normal couple? Why does my life has to be so complicated!!
