Rejected Mate - Quest For The Throne novel Chapter 6

The fuck?
 
I watched him carefully as he sat down and grabbed a handful of spoonfuls of the cornbread I prepared. He was acting all different, I wouldn't say I know why, but he had his choice. Logan doesn't seem like a person you would understand his lifestyle easily.
 
"Do you want to keep standing, while watching me eat your cornbread?" He asked me, not even giving me a glimpse.
 
I slowly sat down, still staring at him. I wonder if I should ask him why he made that sudden reaction to me or if should I keep my mouth shut.
 
"What's on your mind?" He asked first.
 
"Would you mind sharing what happened outside, you came back a little bit earlier than the expected evening you told me?" I said, not minding that outcome.
 
"It's a personal issue, I don't want to disturb you, You made this cornbread, you should enjoy it"
 
I knew he was hiding something from me.
Is this how werewolves behave? Do they like keeping something to themselves? Unlike humans who love sharing secrets with their friends.
 
"I missed work today! I don't want to miss another day, that's the only means of my survival" I said to him, while grabbing the cornbread, he stretched out for me.
 
"What about your parents?" He asked me, this time looking deep into my eyes. I don't know if it would be convenient for him to tell him, but I felt like doing it.
 
"You don't have to…"
 
"I don't know my parents" I interrupted him
"I was born an orphan, I grew up in the hands of my Aunty, I ran away from her because I was maltreated, so since then I have cared for myself" I had a fake smile on my face, but inside, it was as if I stopped breathing.
 
"Sorry!" He said calmly. With the way he apologized, I knew he rarely apologized to anyone.
 
*What about you?" I asked
 
"I would put it that I have no parents because they don't care about me!"
"You did a really good job in preparing this" He changed the topic, maybe he wasn't ready to open up to me.
 
"Euphoria!" He called my name calmly
"I don't think you would be able to live in your home anymore!" He said the most confusing word ever.
 
"I don't understand, what is that supposed to mean?" I inquired.
 
"I found the werewolf who attacked you last night when I was out!" He started.
"And I don't think it would be good for you to live alone now!"
 
"Can you explain more!" I told him.
 
"Remember I told you, I was supposed to kill you too, but I decided to save you," he said and I nodded calmly.
"I was traced, luckily for me, I got the feeling and I immediately distracted them. Since you know the secret about werewolves you would be hunted down until you are caught" he explained, and I widened my eyes in surprise.
 
"Haunted!" I half yelled.
Since all my life, I have lived a calm and cool life, I don't have to worry about anything except for myself, and my life, and in just a night of seeing a creature I thought was a myth, my life changed.
 
"So what am I going to do now? Live here and do nothing, I won't see the sun or go outside because I'm being hunted by something I just got to know yesterday!!" I ranted.
 
"Calm down Euphoria!!" Logan cautioned me
"I didn't say you won't go out, but you would have to hide your identity as a human and answer a werewolf" He had that calm look again.
 
"I'm confused"
 
"I know you would be. I won't stop you from going to work or going outside, but you won't live in your place again, you would live here, if anyone approaches you, ask the person questions before telling the person about yourself, this time, you would represent an Omega ranked werewolf " I watched as Logan explained to me.
 
This means that I would get to live with Logan alone in this big mansion.
 
"You should stop thinking negatively, I won't do anything to you, I already told you, you are not my type!" He said while taking his eyes away from me.
 
"You are a pervert, I wonder what your type would be, Pervert!!" I cursed
 
"Call me that again, and I will show you what a real pervert does!" His voice became husky as his lashes fluttered and his brow snapped together.
 
"What are you going to do? Do you think I would be afraid of you because you killed a werewolf in the process of saving my life?"
To be sincere I was really afraid of him, but it seems that I'm starting to adapt to his way.
 
"I already promised you I would protect you, but I can't promise you that I would be nice to you if you keep blacklisting me, I'm a werewolf!!" He said
 
"So am I, I'm an Omega" I don't know why but I was happy to be one of his kind, even though it was a fake identity. And the next thing I heard was the sound of his laughter, they were loud, yet calm to my ears, I had never seen him laugh this loud.
 
"Why are you laughing?" I asked one of my brows up.
 
"If only you know what an Omega is!" He said amidst his laughter
 
"What is it?" I asked again
 
"They are the lowest rank in a werewolf, they have no power of their own, they depend on others to protect them"
 
Seeing that he gave me this kind of rank, I held him in his collar and kept hitting him on his shoulder. He picked me up in his hands, while my hands were around his shoulder.
 
"Tomorrow after your work, I'll pick you up, so we will get your things from your apartment" and with that, he dropped me hard on the couch.
