Free Web NovelChapter 53: Princess Open Up
"What are you doing here, you should leave." That was the first thing Princess said the moment she raised her eyes to see me standing inside the elevator with her.
The elevator closed and it was just me and her. I turned to face the buttons pretending like I wasn’t here for her.
"The elevator is for public use, so I am using this to go down," I said.
"You should use the other ones. This one is likely to have a mechanical failure. If you don’t want to be stuck with an annoying cheating piece of shit, I suggest you should leave." She muttered, reading what she was reading. I couldn’t see the back cover.
I turned to her. I could not continue to lie.
"Look here Princess, your girlfriend and best friend are searching for you and I am here to take you to them." I spat out.
Okay they are searching for her but I wasn’t here to take her to them. Obviously not. I am not. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"To hell with them." That was all she said lazily.
Those words coming out from Princess made me wonder if she somehow knew about them. But I don’t want to bring the topic up. What if she wasn’t aware and I end up being the one telling her?
No. I am not some alarm. It won’t be me. I sat down lazily, sitting opposite from her. She raised her eyes to see me.
"What are you doing? I said leave right then go... why do you want to stay here?"
"I said I am here to take you to them..."
"What are you, my nanny, caretaker? You are nothing to me so you have no say. I want to stay here, I am going to stay here until I don’t want to stay. So omega go away," she voiced out, pointing her hand towards the elevator door.
I don’t know what is happening to her but she doesn’t want me in and I can’t before she goes all rampage. I was about to stand up then the light went off and the buttons too.
I sat down back. The only light was our visions. The elevator went silent. No hum. No movement.
Just the faint glow of our wolf sight cutting through the dark.
"Looks like we are stuck here together," I muttered. "Look I don’t know why you are here, but I heard you were going through shit. That is why I came here. I think I am the one who might be the cause of it because of what I said to you. If that is it I am sorry about what I said. So please.."
"You are not the reason why I am inside this elevator so stop talking... I need silence so I can focus on what I am reading." She shut me up.
Her voice was flat. Cold. Like she didn’t want to feel anything at all.
"Okay, I will shut up if that is what you want," I said, resting my head on the elevator wall, folding my arms and legs.
The metal behind my head was cold. The air inside the elevator felt thicker now. Princess turned a page..The paper made a soft sound in the dark. I stared at the ceiling for a moment.
Then I closed my eyes..Trying not to think about the fact that she had been avoiding me all week.
Trying not to think about the things I said to her.
There was a moment of silence between us but she was the one who broke it.
"I never meant to be annoying or too much. I don’t know when I am too much or not too much. I thought maybe you.. you..."
Her voice faded.
I opened my eyes and turned my head.
"I’m what?"
"Nothing. Forget I said that."
She said, going back to her reading.
But she wasn’t turning the page anymore..She was just staring at the same spot. She wanted to say something but she doesn’t want to say anything.
Did something happen between her and Kiara that she is here?
"Did you and your girlfriend fight?" That was all I could ask.
"No. We don’t fight, we have never argued about anything... I am just an Alpha she wants but not the girl she loves.."
Fucking hell.
The words sat heavy in the quiet elevator.
I think she knows about them.
Is that why she is away from her?
"What do you mean by that?"
Princess leaned her head back against the wall. The book rested loosely in her hands now.
"I love Kiara. I do a lot. She was all I used to think about. I thought she was my world, my everything, the girl of my dreams. My future Luna. Even when I hear everyone saying that she wants me for my status and wealth I didn’t care. I was ready to work twice as hard to buy her whatever she demands. Then she will love me more. But then... last year I saw her with my best friend together in the pool in my own house."
Her fingers tightened slightly around the book. The paper crinkled.
"I didn’t approach them because if I did I would have killed them. I didn’t even tell them. I don’t know why. Maybe because I was scared of losing the girl I love or I was scared of losing my best friend. So whenever I think about them together I just give myself space..."
Her voice was low. Almost tired.
I can’t believe she opened up to me..The girl who had been ignoring me all week. The same Alpha who usually talks too much.
Now she was speaking like every word cost her something. I was quiet.
I have never fallen in love with someone like she has. I don’t know how she must be feeling having the thought of them being together every day.
The elevator felt smaller..The silence stretched again.
"Why are you still with her? Why are you still with Kiara? She cheated on you. You should break up with her." I asked
Princess let out a slow breath. Her head tilted slightly.
"It’s not that easy. My brothers are against each other fighting for leadership. I grew up with a nanny taking care of me in a big mansion and those two are the only people I became friends with. I don’t want to lose them.... But then I will soon become a mom. When my pups arrive I won’t need them again, because I will have my pups by my side."
She was smiling when she said that..A small smile. Soft. The kind I had never seen on her face before.
Not the teasing smile. Not the cocky Alpha smile. Something quieter.
My pups really mean a lot to her.
But how does it have to do with the fact that the people around her are not legit? Even knowing that they are lying to her she still wants to be friends with them.
I watched her for a moment. She looked calm sitting there.
But something about her still felt lonely.
Like someone who was used to being surrounded by people but still sitting alone.
First she is weirdly strange and second lonely.
The elevator creaked softly somewhere above us. Still stuck. Still a bit dark.
I don’t know what I want to say next but I think it’s the right thing to do.
My mouth opened before I could overthink it.
"Do you want to be my friend?"
