Chapter 45: Don't hate me
ALPHA TAHIRA
SEVEN.
I had collided with Ionna who bumped fiercely Into me in the passage way. She looked terrified and scared, getting up immediately to continue her run. "What's wrong?" I held her hand.
"Get your hands off me!." She yelled and tried yanking me off but I held it firmly.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"What's wrong?" I asked with a warning this time around and she growled at me with anger.
I know.
They all detest me.
Everyone does but actually I didn't give a fuck.
What gives me soothing and refreshing relief is the fear in their eyes and the fact that the king is no more.
It was soothing.
My Only fear right now was Tahira. My badass Princess who might send me to the grave any moment from now. Gosh!!
She fucking risked her life to save me out from that place but I used it against her.
I didn't want her out of that dungeon.
I wanted to kill the Queen and the King, and enslave the royal children. I was going to destroy this pack and kidnap Tahira with me.
I couldn't just take such a vicious creature away.
Even when I was asked to kill her, I hesitated at first sight but what turned me on badly was her feisty attitude.
She was fierce and strong willed, harsh on outside but weak on the inside.
I couldn't believe she would go that far for me. I mean....we barely knew each other but was ready to die,saving me in such a deadly forbidden place and that was what melted me.
I fell badly.
And when I saw her dying by my arrow, I knew I didn't want anything anymore but her life. I just wanted her back, to live, to smile and to fight endlessly till the end.
Even if I had gone out with her from that dungeon, Tahira would have made sure nothing happened to me.
That was how pure her heart is, and that's why I'll do anything to make sure she's happy and fine.
"It's Tahira " Ionna blurted out and her teeth trembled while my body shot up in alert, ready to destroy anything.
"What happened to her?" I asked, growling. My fangs itched to be out and my throat itched to taste the blood of whoever was holding her captive.
"Please don't kill my mum! I don't know why she just dragged Tahira out, dont h..."
I disappeared in a flash before she could utter the statement completely.
I scanned every room trailing her scent without seeing her but I kept dragging my legs, following that strong scent of hers as it led me out of the palace to a secluded dark place with a door. It was dark and eerie and I wondered why a door would be located in a dark place in a nearby forest.
I kicked the door open with force at once and I saw her lay there with her hands clamped to her stomach and blood oozing out her mouth.
Fuck!!
"Tahira!!" I crawled to met her in shock as she kept staring at a particular direction.
I turned to her gaze but no one was there.
"You're bleeding, let's get you cleaned up.."
"She...she was there " she whimpered in pain and my heart clenched, suppressing every anger in me as I just kept growling clawing my feet to stay calm.
"I know, let's get out of here."

*****
She lay on the bed peacefully and groaned in pain.
I was applying some balm on her bruised skin and I watched in horror as I saw her wounds heal.
My eyes flew to her neck and the harem was still stuck tightly to her neck.
How the fuck was she healing when her wolf is locked up?
"I'm fine Seven, stop staring at me like that." She said softly and I nodded.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left your sight."
She chuckled.
"You're not my shadow, it's not your fault. I just don't know why she wants me dead."
"I'll deal with that later, you need to eat something." I told her and she frowned.
"I'm not hungry." She whined.
"I'll feed you, don't worry." I insisted and she sighed in frustration.
The maids already served her meal and I wheeled the trolley of food nearer.
I placed a napkin by her neck and she snorted.
"What?" I asked.
"You don't have to do that, I'm not a baby."
She whined and she looked so adorable.
If only she knew how much I wanted her to be my baby.
"I know, but you're a Princess."
I said and stuffed the food into her mouth.
I fed her with more vegetables and fish and she ate to her fill.
"Argh! I'm full." She held her tummy and I disagreed with stuffing more food in her mouth.
She pushed it away this time around and I gave her the water to drink.
"You should eat too, take some" She said and I declined.
"I'm already filled from watching you eat, make sure you rest your back for some moment before lying down okay?"
"Yeah."
I stood up and her eyes became teary, making me gasp.
"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?"
I asked in panic and she nodded.
"Where, gosh! I'm sorry, okay?"
"You won't eat and you won't stay, do you hate me that much too?"
She asked with so much hurt lacing her voice and my heart shattered.
"Aiden detest me, his mum practically wants me dead. Some flee from me,I'm more like an outcast" Tears trickled down her angelic face and my insides burned at her confession. "Tahira.... listen.."
I swallowed but her beautiful hands cupped my cheek and fire burst through my body.
"Don't hate me Seven, I really like you"
She said and and sparks rushed down my blood, she bent low edging closer and my brain went into total shutdown as her lips slam into mine.
