Chapter 188: Chapter 188) Kiss/ Jealous of himself.
"Anastasia".
Hearing the familiar voice call my name made me frown, because I was disgusted.
I lifted my gaze, and there I saw him, walking towards me with a pitiful expression on his face.
"Anastasia". He repeated my name as he took several more steps towards me, until he finally stood in front of me and made me halt completely.
"Sister. Isn’t this..." Chase said, and I saw him frown at Alpha Dylan. It was clear that he knew what the bastard Dylan had done to me.
"What are you doing here?". I asked him, while furrowing my brows at him. But then, I recalled that his so-called lover was admitted to the hospital. "Oh. I am sure you have come for her". I said to him with a smirk, as I slightly shook my head.
"Come on, Caden, Chase. We should leave. I am sure we are interrupting his big moment with his one and true lover". I said and walked past him, not expecting him to grab my hand.
That made me turn to him with a sharp glare, as I retrieved my hand from his grip and sent a slap right on his cheek.
"How dare you touch me?". I asked him.
"Please. I know I have made a mistake, Anastasia. But please give me another chance to make things right with you!".
"Please give me a chance to get back together with you!". He pleaded with me, and as he tried to hold my hand, I dodged.
"Stay away from my sister!". Caden punched Dylan’s face as he declared, making him fall to the ground.
As for Dylan? He groaned angrily as he rose to his feet. "How dare you hit me? Who the hell do you think you are?!". He roared and went into a full attack mode.
Seeing that, I clenched my fists, shoved Caden aside, and was ready to counterattack and put Dylan in his place. But, someone else beat me to it.
Nikolai appeared out of the blue, and a punch from him sent Dylan flying some feet away, until he landed on the ground and coughed out a handful of blood.
Nikolai did not end his attack there. He went ahead and grabbed Dylan by the neck and lifted him off the ground.
I watched him strangle Dylan and saw how the veins in Dylan’s neck and temples popped out, as he struggled to free himself.
’I think our mate is going to kill him, Clara. You should stop him!’. Elektra exclaimed as she mind linked me.
But I frowned. ’And why the heck should I do that?’. I mind linked her with a groan.
’Are you a fool, Clara?! Or have you suddenly become one?! Can’t you see the curious werewolves who had gathered around to watch?’. She asked me, then added, ’If our mate wants to kill that fool, he ought to do it in a more secure place with no witnesses’.
I was puzzled after listening to what she said. I initially thought she pitied Dylan.
But who would have thought that she had a darker heart than me?
’You are evil’.
’Thanks for your gracious compliment, Alpha Clara’. Elektra teased me.
And was it normal that I could guess she was grinning at me?
"Nikolai, just leave him be". I said to him, making him glance in my way.
But, those eyes of his... the way they glowed with complete hatred. The way they glared. And the murderous aura they exhibit.
One thing was clear.
The Lycan King staring at me was not Nikolai, but his true Lycan!
I furrowed my brows.
Meanwhile, the Lycan King returned his gaze to Dylan and continued to strangle him. "Stay away from my mate. And don’t you ever touch her with those dirty hands of yours again!".
"The next time I find you an inch close to my precious mate, that will be the last time you ever get to breathe fresh air!..."
"... Because I am going to rip your heart apart and show its ugliness to the entire world, and especially to the werewolves of your damn Golden warrior’s pack!". He threatened Dylan, before he let go of his neck after saying that.
Dylan landed on the ground and coughed violently, with his hand on his neck. There was saliva at the corner of his lips, and his eyes had gotten quite red. freēwēbnovel.com
I did not feel the slightest pity for him.
If anything, I regretted that the Lycan King did not break those stinking hands which had touched me.
By the way, I grew a bit wary after the Lycan King turned to me.
Instinctively, I made Caden and Chase stand behind me, and was ready to defend all of us if the Lycan King turned out to be hostile.
But, to my greatest surprise, it was the exact opposite.
He wasn’t hostile to me at all.
The murderous look in his eyes instantly disappeared, and a bright smile appeared on his lips as he ran to my side and held my hands.
"I finally got to meet you, my mate. I finally get to see you personally!". He exclaimed and pulled me in for a tight hug. "I miss you so much. That wicked Nikolai wouldn’t let me come out to meet you".
"Can you imagine I almost went crazy because of that?!". He continued to say, with his face buried in my neck, while I remained frozen in shock because I never saw any of these coming.
To think that the Lycan King was madly in love with me... I did not even know what to say, or what to feel.
’Elektra, you are seeing this, right?’. I asked her, because I wanted to be sure that I was not hallucinating.
I wanted to confirm if what I was seeing was real.
’Of course, I am seeing exactly what you are seeing, Clara!’. Her reply confirmed my doubts.
Just then, the Lycan King stopped hugging me. Instead, he placed his palms on my cheeks and smiled, as he stared directly into my eyes.
Those pairs of amber eyes seemed to be dancing. "I- I love you so much". He said to me, and my eyes instantly widened in shock as his face got closer to mine, with his arm wrapped around my waist. I saw him steal several glances at my lips, and that was enough for me to know what he was about to do.
But, why didn’t I push him away even after knowing that?
Why didn’t I push him away even as the werewolves in the background were watching the entire moment?!
Why did I remain still and let his face lean closer?
And why did I go as far as closing my eyes, as I waited for his alluring lips to touch mine?
But I didn’t quite understand. I had expected his lips to touch mine by now. So, why was nothing like that happening?
I wondered, before I opened my eyes.
I was stunned to see him frowning at me. "What were you expecting, Anastasia?". He asked me.
Wait. This wasn’t him... this was Nikolai!
At an instant, I felt very awkward.
"Were you actually going to let him kiss you?". Nikolai asked me, pouting his lips, like he had been wronged.
"I-". I tried to say something, but cleared my throat, as I tried to get away from him.
But before I could get away from him, he pulled me to himself, and asked me a very unexpected question. "Do you love him more than me? Is that why you could kiss him and not me?".
I was speechless and did not know what to say.
At some point, it hit me hard in the head as I swallowed the invisible lump in my throat.
’Don’t tell me that he is jealous of his other half!’. I said within my mind.
’Em, yes... I think so, Clara. Our mate is jealous of himself. Heh! So what are you going to do now?’. Elektra replied to me, as I remained stuck in Nikolai’s strong arm.
