Chapter 52
Bethany's POV
I know that he is still pissed and that is why he is saying these awful words to me. I saw the fire in his eyes when he passed by us, he is so F***g angry, more furious than I've ever seen him. I shouldn't have kissed Miguel, why the hell did I kiss him what was I even thinking?
How do I explain to anyone that I had kissed another man, not just kissing another man plainly, I actually enjoyed kissing him, I would probably have done more than just kissing him if Dominic had not come to disrupt our make-out session. Harriet was trying to pull me to my room, but I just couldn't leave without knowing what is going on between my mate and my pretend boyfriend I stood by the corner and listened to everything that is happening in there, I waited for him to leave the hall, then I ran back inside, going to where Miguel lay with his broken lips that have begun to heal already. Carl and Dwayne stood by his side scolding him angrily, warning him to stay the hell away from me. I heard Carl telling him that he should stay out of this Castle because he is no longer welcomed here.
“You can't kick me out until the king says so, you have no right to kick me out of this Castle.” Miguel responded furiously, sil not backing down. I could see the determination in his face, he looks like he is ready to face anything they throw at him. From the stern look on his face, I'm sure that he is prepared to go to war for my sake if that's what it takes. As we approache them, Carl and Dwayne turned to me with a murderous glare on their faces. I ignored their furious stares, walking forward to stand in front of Miguel, smiling warmly as I raised my head to look into his eyes. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Harriet pulling Carl and Dwayne backward, giving us space to talk. I know she means well, but she is actually creating the impression I indeed have something serious going on with Miguel, and it is making it kind of awkward for me to speak with him right now, but I don't have a choice, I have to at least show a little bit of concern, after all, he just took a beating for me a few minutes ago, it's the least I can do, right?
“I'm so sorry Miguel, I shouldn't have dragged you into this. I never knew he cared so much about me, I thought he meant it when he said he was done with me, I'm so sorry Miguel, I never meant to put you in trouble." I told him honestly.
“So, is that it, are you going to go back to him just like that?” he asked me calmly, causing me to gaze at him in surprise because I don't understand what he is saying.
“What do you mean, Miguel? Of course, I'm still going to get back with him." I responded swiftly.
“Why Beth, why do you have to go back to him, why do you let him treat you this way?
You deserve better, Bethany. You deserve a man that would love you and treat you right” He told me calmly, his eyes boring holes into my soul as he gazes intently at me.
“You know I still love him, Miguel. The deal was just for me to try and get his attention again, I was always going to go back t him. You know that, don't you?”
“I know Beth, I know you said all that to me, but I don't want you to, I just can't let you go anymore. I want you, Beth, I don't even know how to express my feelings for you. When Harriet told me about your plans, I kicked against it, but when you walked up to me when I set my eyes on you, I knew that I could do anything to please you, I knew immediately that I wanted you for myself.
Your eyes are so beautiful, so innocent and pure. Looking into your eyes is like looking into the eyes of an innocent child, I could get lost looking into these beautiful eyes. Your lips are so full and plump and soft, begging to be kissed and bitten. I could kiss you all day and I wouldn't be tired, not even for a second. Your body is like that of a beauty queen, I can never be able to take my eyes away from you. You are so beautiful, so damn perfect and I love and adore every inch of your perfect body. I want to treat you the way you deserve to be treated I want to shower you with love and affection, I would make you forget that you were ever bonded to king Dominic.
I would never have agreed to this mission, I would never have done anything to go against the king, but I did it for you because deep within my heart, I know that I wanted you to be mine. I planned to steal you away from him, I want to keep yo! all to myself and that is why I kissed you when I knew he was looking, I wanted to piss him off so much that he would never want to be with you anymore. Kissing you felt so damn good Bethy, it felt like we are meant to be together. I've never felt that way with another woman and I enjoyed watching the king get so pissed off as he watched me kiss you. I've succeeded i pushing him away, you can't go back to him again, not after the way he has been treating you.
The King must be completely insane for rejecting you. He doesn't deserve you, and you don't even need him in your life. Think about everything he done to you my love, think about the omega he was screwing the other day in his office. He woul never commit to you, it is not in his nature. He has always treated women with disrespect, he has never treated any woman right, and he hates every girl around him, Bethany. He would never love you the way you deserve to be loved, he would never accept you as his mate and he would never make you his queen.
The moon goddess had made a terrible mistake when they made you his. They would have you mine from the very beginning. You are supposed to be mine, Beth, you were made just for me, we would be perfect together, and I'm going to treat you right. Just say you'll be mine, just come with me, my love and I promise never to make you cry. I'l never break your heart, I'll never make you cry, I'l rather die than live without you, Ill fight the whole world just to be with you, I'll do anything just to keep you by my side, just say you'll be mine,” he kept going on and on, expressing his feelings to me. My onl thought at this very moment is that I wish all these proclamations of love and heartfelt desire were coming from my one tru mate, Dominic.
At some point, I had to take a step back because his hands keep finding their way to my body, touching and caressing me in ways that I just couldn't accept anymore. I loved him, I even fancied his handsome features, wishing I could be with him. But that was mere wishful thinking, I can never accept to be with another man, not when I'm still craving my one true mate. I ma have made out with him earlier, but I won't deny the fact that I enjoyed every minute with him, I even enjoyed kissing him, but that was because I thought he would stick to our plan. I had no idea that he had fallen in love with me, I had no f****g idea that he had other reasons for agreeing to go along with this ridiculous plan of mine that has done more harm than good.
I could hear the silent growls of the guys that are standing with Harriet a few feet away. She may have taken them far away from where we stood, but trust me, those guys are listening in on our conversation, I'm so sure of that. Their angry growls ar enough evidence to prove that they are truly listening in on our conversation. There are just two reasons why they haven't pounced on him and torn him into shreds. First, they know I'm the king's mate, so they respect my position as the future queen of all werewolves. Secondly, Harriet is standing right in front of them, with her hands spread wide apart, holding then in place. They are so pissed off at him and their anger is spreading to all the other warriors around, making them pissed off for no damn reason.
I have to put an end to all this fiasco before it gets more than this. On his own part, Miguel doesn't even care about the frowns and glares he is getting from all around him. We are werewolves so I'm pretty sure that he is hearing their angry growls, he just chose to ignore them. He can also feel the anger and hatred oozing from everyone around us, but he couldn’ care less about it. He simply focused on me, telling me how I'm meant to be his and how he would treat me right. He even closed the little distance between us after I took a step back to create the distance between us. The angry growls around us increased, but he still wasn't backing down. I had to put my hand up to stop him from coming any further because he is coming too close for comfort and he is about to back me to a wall, right in front of all these angry warriors that are just looking for the tiniest reason to tear him into shreds. I had to ask myself if he is a f*****g lunatic because I'm so sure that any guy in his right senses would have taken to his heels already to avoid being maimed by these angry, bloodthirsty warriors that wouldn't stop glaring at us with contempt.
“Look here, Miguel. I don't know if I led you on in any way, and I have no idea why you are acting like a f*****g lunatic, but believe when I say that I have no feelings whatsoever for you. I'm very sorry if I led you on, but you have to quit this madness right here and right now. We had a deal, we f*****g had a f*****g deal. The deal was for you to pretend to be into me so I would know if my mate is still interested in me. Mind you, I am talking about my one true mate, not some guy I just chose to be with. I know it is all my fault, I should never have gotten you involved in such a childish game it was so stupid of me and I apologize, but it all ends now. It ends right here and right now. The king is my mate and I love him so much, and now that I've confirmed that he still feels the same way about me, there is nothing that can separate us anymore. If you're lucky enough, you'll find your mate Miguel, if you don't find her, you would always find someone that is perfect for you, but that person is not me, it just can't be me!" I told him calmly, speaking the truth to him.
I could see the pain and disappointment in his face but I just can't help it, I ha e to be completely honest with him. I could still see the determination in his eyes and I knew that he is not prepared to give up on me, so I turned around and left him to his feeling, I just can't listen to his words anymore. I whispered to Harriet as I walked past her, begging her to keep the guys on a tight leash so they don't hurt him while I'm away. I left the all and headed upstairs, going back to face the angry beast that happens to be my mate.
I was about to lose my temper when he said those hurtful words to me, I couldn't help comparing his attitude to Miguel's. Why can't he just be nice to me, why does he always have to treat me so badly. I wanted to just yell back at him and run bac] to Miguel's arms, but all that came out of my mouth was,
“I'm sorry”
Yeah, I apologized to him, not because I felt so guilty that I couldn't speak my mind, but because I know that it was all my fault, I shouldn't have pulled such a stunt with him when I know how dangerous he can be when he is angry.
“No Bethany...
I know you too well and I know that you ain't sorry. Now get the f**k out of here before I f*****g hurt you?"
