Chapter 28 – Misunderstanding
••• Kyson’s POV •••
“Do any of you have any objections to Aleena being my mate and your Luna?” I asked the Betas and Gammas in front of me. We were currently in my study after I dropped Aleena in her room.
“We don’t, Alpha. But…” Liam hesitated to continue.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“But?” I raised an eyebrow at him.
“But it might jeopardize your mission,” he finished his sentence as he looked at me in a serious manner.
I let out a heavy sigh. I knew everyone was thinking the same way as I did. If she betrayed me, I wouldn’t have the heart to kill her, and in the end, she would lead to my demise.
“I’ll reject her if it happens,” I told them, even though the thought didn’t sit well with me.
“Fuck you, Kyson!” Night yelled. Always the protective wolf toward our mate…
“But she’s your destined mate, Alpha,” Beta Christine reminded me softly.
“You should talk to her about this,” Gamma Lisa added.
I nodded in agreement and dismissed all of them.
“Time to talk to our mate,” Night said.
I walked toward my bedroom and took a shower. I saw a female inside my room when I walked out of the shower.
“Who the fuck allows you to be in my room?” I growled.
“Kyson, why did you mark her?” Gia asked with no nonsense.
“None of your fucking business,” I growled in annoyance.
“She’s your enemy’s daughter,” she pointed out the thing that had been bugging my mind. Will other pack members think the same as her and reject Aleena as their Luna?
“She’s my destined mate,” I defended Aleena.
Gia came to me and clung to my hand, but I pushed her away.
“Don’t touch me. I’m never attracted to you,” I growled.
“Kyson, you know I’ve been in love with you for so long. You only mark Aleena because she’s your destined mate. Give me a chance, and I’m sure you’ll choose me. You’ll know I’m the perfect choice to be your Luna.” She became more arrogant with each word.
I looked at her as if she had grown another head. Arrogant and shameless… She thinks she’ll be the perfect Luna? I smirked at her shameless thought.
I walked toward the bed and sat on it.
“Try it then,” I said as I patted my lap.
Her eyes lit up, and she literally jumped onto my lap in excitement. She began grinding and rubbing against me.
“What the hell are you doing, Kyson?” Night yelled, but I ignored him.
I pushed Gia away after a few minutes and pulled my towel away, showing her my limp dick. Who would’ve thought there would be a time I was happy that my dick didn’t get hard? Heck, I was even proud that it stayed limp!
“Still think I’ll be attracted to you?” I smirked. How can I when even her scent repulses me?
“Kyson…” She reached out her hand again, but I moved fast, curling my hand around her throat.
“Don’t fucking dare to think of something as disgusting as that again. I’ll never be attracted to you, nor will you ever be my Luna,” I snarled to her face.
“Ky… son…” Her hands tried to push mine away from her neck, and I released her.
“Get out! Don’t ever come into my room again.” I released my Alpha aura, and she cowered.
“I’m… I’m sorry, Alpha.” She fled with a shaking body.
Fucking moronic she-wolf…
I looked at the shopping bags that Aleena had given me and smiled. She bought me a few lavender-color clothing. Picking one shirt, I quickly wore it and walked toward my door when I noticed a shopping bag in the doorway.
Looking into it, I saw a few stuff for man. Did Aleena…
“She saw! She saw you with Gia! Quick, go to her, Kyson. She must have misunderstood the situation!” Night yelled at me anxiously.
Shit!
I ran toward her bedroom and saw her sitting on her bed dejectedly.
“Aleena…” I called out softly, and she her head turned to see me. Looking at her expression, I felt like I got a punch in my gut. She had tears streaming down her face, looking so heartbroken and disappointed.
I rushed toward her and reached out my hand. “Aleena, I can…”
“Don’t touch me!” she shouted and slapped my hand away.
“Aleena, I can…” I tried to touch her again, but she slapped my hand away again.
“I said, DONT TOUCH ME!” she kept slapping my hand away, stood up, and took a few steps away from me.
Her constant rejection boiled my blood. Who does she think she is? Moving fast, I caught her wrist and yanked her into my arms.
“Don’t touch you? Don’t forget that you are my ma…” I stopped my sentence when I caught a scent from her body. I sniffed her to make sure I didn’t get it wrong.
“Why the hell is there someone else’s scent all over you?” I growled furiously. Her body reeked of another male’s scent.
Her body froze, and she pushed me away.
“You are one to talk, Kyson!” she yelled.
“Why the hell is there a male’s scent all over you? Tell me!” I growled again.
“If you don’t want me, then why did you mark me?” she asked with trembling body and anger in her eyes.
Her unwillingness to answer my question heightened my anger even more. “You think I wanted to mark you? It was only in the heat of the moment.” I sneered.
“Kyson!” Night yelled.
She gasped when she heard my words, and the pain in her eyes intensified.
Looking at her pain, I instantly regretted my words.
“If you think that way, then I, Aleena Bell, reject you…” She pointed her slim finger at me.
Shit! I yanked her back into my arms and crushed her lips with mine, silencing her from saying the rest of her words, just like Lucas had done to Colton.
“You happy now, Kyson? Colton was right. You really are a stupid fuck!” Night yelled.
“Don’t,” I growled when I released her lips, and she struggled to get away from me.
“Let me talk to her. You are only going to make it worse.” Night pushed me away, and I let him.
“Let’s not be rash, Luv,” Night said as he stroked her back.
She looked at us with tears still streaming down her face and asked, “Night?”
“It’s me.” Night nodded, and she stopped struggling, letting Night hold her.
“Why didn’t you stop him? Do you want Gia too?” she sobbed in his arms, and my heart wrenched seeing her like that.
“It’s a misunderstanding. Gia wanted him, but he didn’t. He let her do that thing to show Gia that he wasn’t interested in her,” Night explained as he kept stroking her back.
“But he said he marked me because it was just a spur of the moment. He told Alpha Colton he doesn’t want me…” Aleena sobbed again.
“He was just jealous. Frankly, I, too, don’t like the scent all over you right now.” Night chuckled, making the atmosphere lighter for us.
“But I didn’t do anything. I was going to Kyson’s room when I bumped into someone,” she said in a small voice.
“I know. I know you didn’t do anything, Luv,” Night kept comforting her.
“Hear that, Kyson? She didn’t do anything. You were being an ass to her,” Night snorted, and I kept quiet.
“Do you still not want to give in to the mate bond? Don’t you realize how much it hurt when you saw her crying and sobbing like this because of what you’ve done? Why don’t you just give in?” Night asked me as he kept soothing Aleena.
What Night said was right. It hurt me when I saw her cry, especially knowing it was because of me. But…
“No buts. You haven’t even talked to her about the mission yet. Don’t come to the conclusion of what she’ll say about that matter. If she sided with us, she wouldn’t be our damnation,” Night said in a tone that left no room for discussion.
“You are right. I have to talk about the matter before rushing to a conclusion,” I finally agreed with him.
“Ready to apologize to our mate?” Night asked.
“Alright,” I replied, and Night returned back the control of my body to me.
“Aleena…” I said her name softly, not wanting to scare her, and yet her body still froze for a second before she struggled again.
I kept hold of her in my arms. “I’m sorry,” I apologized softly for making her misunderstand and misunderstanding her.
Her body stilled, and she looked at me. Her eyes were still filled with tears, but they didn’t show rejection or disappointment like before.
“You don’t want Gia?” she asked in a small voice, as if my answer wouldn’t be what she wanted to hear.
I shook my head. “No. What Night said was what happened. I was just showing her that I wasn’t… And won’t be attracted to her ever.”
“You won’t reject me and choose her?” she asked, still with a small voice.
“No. You are my only mate,” I said firmly and kissed her hard, adding emphasis to my words, showing her how much I meant them and how much she meant to me.
“Don’t ever reject me again,” I growled out in annoyance when I thought about it.
“Okay.” She nodded and hugged me back.
“Aleena, there’s something I need to talk to you about,” I told her. This is the time to see if she really would be my salvation or damnation if she would really stay by my side when the war comes.
