His tight grip hurts my arm, making me flinch along with his dragging. I don't know where we're headed but we had passed the stairs, walking the hallway of the second floor.
The loud sound of the music from the party didn't offset my heartbeat. Having him this close made every hair in my body stand, giving me such a newfangled feeling.
I am relieved I found my mate but his powerful aura keeps making my knees tremble. I'm not okay with it but my traitor wolf is already submitting to his.
'Stop being submissive! He hasn't claim us yet!' I nagged at my wolf but she just shrugged me off, I growled.
"I-I can walk!" I tried to make my voice tough but it came out in a whisper. I growled to myself, continuously nagged at my wolf.
Aiden turned his head and looked at me, he didn't stopped walking nor let my arm go. His expression is somewhat in the middle of confuse and angry. I can't see his eyes clearly because of the dimmed lights but I'm sure its not red anymore. His wolf has calmed. A bit.
No words came out from him until we reached the double doors where I assumed was his office. He kicked the door open and harshly pulled me inside.
His office were dark, only a small light from the desk lamp brighten the room a bit.
My breathe is hitched and air left my lungs when he pushed me on the wall, trapping me with his arms placed at my sides.
"How dare you flirt with my Beta in front of my people!" He growled. He was not screaming but his voice has raised its tone, enough to convey his anger. His hardened expression didn't help to calm me. I started cowering under his glare, wanted to sink myself on the wall behind me.
Wait. What did he just say?
Flirting?!
I've never flirt my whole life for him to easily judge me without the slightest hesitation!
I felt rage of fire build inside of me, I started to look at him straight in his soul. Waiving my stupid wolf who's not even bothered by this guys' words!
Aiden being my mate won't change the fact that I'll never let anyone outsmart me with their petty accusations! I've had enough experience judgement from my former pack. Now that I know I'll belong to his pack, I'll never let anyone judge me again. Not even him!
"I'm not flirting with Nick!" My defiant voice shocked him, caught him off guard for a second before growling at me. Opposed from my feisty behavior that I'm sure he's unaccustomed with. I don't care! He pushed me to feel this irritated.
His stare turned deadly than it already is. With dark face, he growled at me trying to scare my resistance away.
"You danced with him in everyone's presence including me." He emphasized the last words expecting for me to see his point.
I denied to understand his reasoning. He can't blame me for something I did not intend to do! And for God's sake, I just danced with Nick without any motive to anger Aiden! Hell, I don't even knew I have a mate earlier!
"If you'd stepped forward to me then I'll know you're my mate! You could've been the one I'm dancing with!"
I regret how the last sentence sounds when it came out. I seemed needy and wanted to have a dance with him. Or so how I thought.
Aiden's face softened. The dim light from the lamp gleamed his eyes. A shade of golden brown eyes focused on mine, making me quiver.
I'm drowning into his gaze, fighting my wolf as she tried to take control of the situation.
"You're mine!" He growled and wrapped his arm on my waist, crushing my body closer to him. A wave of electricity run down my spine. Still, I didn't break the defiant look I'm giving him. Denying my wolf to give an ounce of submission into him.
"Doesn't mean you can accuse me of being a flirt! If you wanted me, you'll show yourself in the ceremony! If only you did that, you could've avoid making such scene." I snarled at him. His eyes squinted, looking at me with disbelief.
