Chapter 5

“Please stay with me tonight.”

Lilian pleaded with me while wrapping her hands tightly around my back. My body went stiff under her touch.

“Move away,” my wolf growled, not liking her touch on our bodies. Lilian's body went stiff, and she immediately took a step away. After all, Alpha was commanding her, and as my pack member, she had to follow my commands. My wolf never liked her. But she has saved our lives. I argued with my wolf, to which he growled again.

“She is not our mate,” he said, making me feel annoyed and irritated at the same time.

"Yes, she is not our mate, but if she were, there would not have been anyone alive,” I growled back and blocked him in my head.

“Mason, you are mad because I called you so late in the night,” Lilian asked. Her question made me turn around to look at her. She had tears in her eyes. She looked embarrassed and was hit because of my sudden outburst. I felt bad.

“I know you are mad because two years ago I left without a word. Right,” she said with more tears in her eyes. I pressed my lips in a thin line.

“I left because I didn't want to make you feel guilty because of my condition. I was so badly injured,” she said, and tears rolled down her eyes. She was now crying as if she were in pain. I closed my eyes and looked up to control my emotions. They were all over the place. I just don't know what to do. I felt frustrated with these feelings. She came forward and once again wrapped her hands around me.

“Tell me the truth, Mason,” she said while burning her face in my chest. My hands remain on either side of me.

“Are you with Roslyn because of pressure from the council or because you have a feeling for now that she is your mate?'' she asked suddenly, and my jaw clenched. My jaw clenched when she questioned me. I don't have an answer to it. It's all happening because of the mate bond. I don't love her. I wanted to search for her because my wolf was feeling restless after not finding her in the pack house. And nothing else. I don't have any feelings for her, even though she is my mate. Then say it out loud. My wolf growled, but I just couldn't bring those words to my lips. I tried, but I failed. I took a deep breath to push away the things I started to feel even at the mention of her name.

"Lilian, I'm not mad at you. Come lie down on the bed. You still are so weak,” I said while pulling her away from my chest and taking her to bed. She looked at me with her glassy orbs, waiting for me to answer her question, but nothing came out of my mouth. I made her sit on the bed. I stood in front of her and cupped her face.

“Don't worry, I will always be there to take care of you,” I said softly with a small smile on my face. I assure her that I will always be there. I will never forget what she has done for me.

“Now rest,” I said, wiping the tears that rolled down her cheeks. She nodded and lay down on the bed, and I sat in front of her. I could see doubts in her eyes, but she still closed her eyes and fell asleep. I was waiting for her to fall asleep. Once she fell asleep, I went back to the apartment. Rosyln is not feeling well. She has a fever, and I just can't take it out of my head. I'm worried, even though I hate her. I want to take care of her, even though I don't want to. I was torn between my mixed feelings. If it continues like that, I will soon go insane. Rosyln was still burning. She was shivering and murmuring something while wrapping her arms around her stomach. I just couldn't leave, so I took care of her all night and left early in the morning before she could see me.

Rosyln POV

In the morning, I woke up feeling better. My fever was gone, and to my surprise, I was feeling better. I looked on the side of the bed to find it empty. Like I knew, he never came back. A feeling of gloom gripped my heart when my cell phone rang. My best friend, Nera Long, was calling me. I was happy to get a call from her. She has invited me to lunch to meet her boyfriend, Keven. I wanted a break from my life, so I agreed to meet her at a restaurant. As we planned, I met her at the restaurant. Her boyfriend kept weirdly looking at me, and it bothered me. I wanted to tell Nera, but she looked so in love with him. So I couldn't. He even tried to touch my hand when I passed him a glass of water. My doubts were confirmed when I caught him talking on the phone with his friend in a smoking area. I was on my way to find a bathroom.

“Nera is so stupid. I'm going to toy with her and then dump her. Yes, our new Luna is hot. I heard she is not in a good relationship with Alpha. I can have fun with her too,” he said with a cunning smile on his face. I felt disgusted when he said that.

“How dare you?” I said while walking out of the shadows to confront him.

“Yes, I will talk to you later. My Luna is standing in front of me,” he said with that cunning look still in his eyes.

“Now that you know the truth, I don't have to pretend. My offer is still on. We can have lots of fun, my Luna,” he said, and he tried to touch me when I pushed him off and slapped him. I felt disgusted.

“How dare you? I will tell Nera about your intentions'' I threatened him, but he smirked at me evilly.

“She will never believe you. She is so madly in love with me,” he mocked me with that evil smile still on his lips. My heart started to beat fast in fear.

“You are disgusting,” I said, wanting to slap him once again when he caught my hand. He pulled me to him, and his hands started to move on my back. I felt like puking. My heart started to beat fast in fear. He pinned me to the wall and my eyes went wide in more fear. His face moved forward. He was about to kiss me.

“Let's have some fun my Luna”
