CHAPTER FOUR
NATHANS POV
I felt moody all day because of the conversation I had with Kylie. Honestly, I don't think it was any use trying to win her over. She clearly didn't like me and won't even consider what I said . It hurts knowing I might end up having a one sided love.
I couldn't even say I'll try to get over her because I cant and that made it so much worse. I was frustrated beyond measures right now as I laid back in my bed. It was night already and I wanted to be alone. Away from everyone and away from Mitchell. My dad had called me earlier on to join for dinner but I didn't want that. Mitchell was going to be there too and I knew my parents would surely talk about how far we've gone since they considered us mates. It should be Kylie at the table with me but I didn't know how I was going to tell everyone that Mitchell wasn't my mate especially when Kylie isn't going to stand beside me.
I left my room in a hurry so that they wouldn't be able to find me when it was time for dinner and I ended up going outside to the garden which was lonely and peaceful but was still in thoughts. Kylie was still in my mind and I was considering if I should stay away from her or not because it wasn't going to yield anything staying close to her . She hated me. Couldn't even look at me and I think she likes Derek. I mean she was all over him and she felt comfortable around him and it kind of made me feel .... jealous I guess.
I suddenly heard footsteps approaching and immediately knew who it was. Her scent was different and heavenly and I could tell it even from afar. I got up immediately as she approached me slowly.
"Hey" She said, making sure to keep her distance.
"What you doing here Kylie?" I asked. Not like I didn't want to see her but was surprised to see her actually. For the first time ,she wasn't putting on a hood and instead ,she wore a gown that stopped above her knee and hugged her body tightly and I had lots of questions. Did she come to see me and did she dress this way because of me.
"And why are you in a gown?" I asked again and she suddenly looked down at what she was wearing then played with her fingers. She looked beautiful . Very beautiful actually especially when she was confident enough to open her scar.
"I actually wanted to talk to you."
"And so you wore this dress for me?" I asked and she struggled to keep eye contact. I sat back down and kept my eyes totally fixed on her. I loved the state she was in and how nervous she was because it was telling me something different from what I had thought and that maybe she didn't hate me.
"Well , I... I.. you've seen my scars and there was no need hiding it from you" She replied and I got up again then moved closer to her.
"So why are you here?" I asked trying to make it seem like I didn't want her.
"About what you said earlier on, about us being mates and also you thinking I hate you. I just wanted to let you know that I didn't hate you."
"but I also think it won't work out considering how different we are." She continued and I frowned.
"You have no right to decide that.* I stated wanting to draw her towards me but I didnt do it because I realised something. I won't get her to love me back if I keep on doing the chasing. Maybe I should let her do it instead .We were mates afterall and there was no way my touch or actions wouldn't have an effect on her.
I just need to drive her feelings to the state where she wouldn't be able to control it, make her heart race for me until she'll be brave enough to confess her feelings and say she wants me. That was the only way for me to get her. I moved closer to her slowly and I could see her body tense a little then I raised my hand to brush off some tendrils of hair from her face. She relaxed at my touch and it was so refreshing and addicting.
The feel of her skin and the way she reacts to my touch , everything about her felt addicting .More like I wouldn't be able to stop if I started. I leaned down a little to her ear before whispering.
"Go back to your room Kylie but make sure you remember this. You're mine and very soon you'll want me just as much as much as I want you."
I lingered on a little longer , moving further down to the nape of her neck and pressed my lips against it and then on her collar bone before leaving her and heading back inside to my room.
KYLIES POV
I stood fixed in my position, watching Nathan leave after he placed a kiss on my neck.
Maybe this was a bad idea afterall and I shouldn't have dressed like this because I wanted to see him. It made me look like I wanted him to like me or I wanted to please him. I don't know but I felt it was necessary we talked and I just wanted to be confident while doing that but I failed when he came close to me and placed a kiss on the nape of neck and my collar bone then left. He left after making my body heat up . I could still feel his lips on my skin and it was .... it was..... nothing like I've felt before.
We weren't fully mates though considering we haven't accepted each other. All we had between us were feelings and in other to become mates like in a relationship, he'd have to mark me in whatever way he chose but I thought and still think he'll reject me .I mean he could reject me considering the way I am but his word still echoed in my head .The one when he called me his.
CHAPTER FIVEKYLIES POV I was already seated at the biology lab waiting for the teacher to arrive then Nathan stepped in. I almost forgot he was taking the same class with me today. His eyes met mine immediately and I felt nervous as he walked towards me.He looked really handsome in his black outfit. I mean he is always handsome and hot but today, he looked hotter. I guess black was his signature colour.He moved pass me and took a sit behind me and that was when I noticed he looked moody. He didn't say anything to me, not even a 'hi' and I felt awkward. Maybe I should talk to him first but what if he doesn't reply me?Just yesterday he sounded really possessive of me and now today, he's acting like I don't exist and I feel wierd about it because I want him to talk to me.The teacher came in a while later and also did Derek
CHAPTER SIX KYLIE'S POV I dared not do anything with my lips again while being held by Nathan. I didn't even speak nor did I look at him in the eye because it would easily give away the amount of effect he had on me, the amount of butterflies I felt in my stomach right now because of our close proximity and how much I wanted to see if he'll do what he just said . He soon seem to let go of me in a rather ockward manner and left me with the ghost of the feel of his touch. I kind of felt a bit disappointed though but was also relieved about it. He got back to planting the seeds , looking really graceful , handsome and sexy with the way he stood . There was silence for that moment and after he was done , he handed the vase over to me.
CHAPTER SEVEN NATHANS POV Everything's changed, especially between Mitchell and I. I usually held on to the thought before that maybe one day I'll grow to love her since everyone saw us as the perfect match but I don't think I can do that anymore. Not when I've fallen so irrevocably in love with someone else. I could never give Mitchell the love she wanted and I wanted so much to tell her about it now . Tell her that I wasn't the one for her but I couldn't bring myself to do that either. She might be grumpy to others but I knew she always tried to please me and she liked me too . I would feel bad breaking her heart but I would also be selfish too if I didn't do it either because it would mean I was leading her on and letting her hope that someday I'll be in love with her and make her my mate. I would also still be selfish to Kylie . I knew one of the main reasons Kylie was afraid of getti
CHAPTER EIGHT KYLIE'S POV For the first few seconds, it felt unreal that he was kissing me. I just couldn't believe it but when his hands pulled me tighter against him and his lips moved over mine in a gentle, yet demanding manner, I found myself sticking up to the realisation . It was nothing like I had ever felt before , and I was a bit uncertain on what to do. A bit uncertain when I felt his hot breath against my skin and when his lips became firmer and bolder against mine and seeking to deepen the kiss. He bit down on my lower lip , followed by a slid of his tongue which slowly sucked on it, driving me insane. He moved his hands away from my waist to my hips , fingers digging in and pressing me tightly against him so that we weren't even an inch apart. I opened my mouth beneath his an
CHAPTER NINEKYLIE'S POV The next one week , I realised that Nathan meant what he said about staying away from me because he did just that. He avoided me like I was a ghost and even the time I tried talking to him concerning the plant we were both growing, he said that he didn't want to partake in it any longer and that hurt me so much . He was ready to get an F in the practical if it meant staying away from me. I ended up doing the whole thing on my own and also prepared his answers too along side mine. I wasn't going to let him fail because of our misunderstanding. I gave him the next day and hoped he would collect it , but what he did surprised me, he threw the paper away just to make sure, I didn't submit it on his behalf then after that he excused himself from the class. It took alot in me not to tear up at that instant. He was obviously goin
CHAPTER TENNATHANS POV I gathered everyone in a room to address what had happen earlier on. It was very careless especially on Lisa's part and I made sure to state that archery would no longer be practised in school. It could have been way more worse if Kylie had been shot somewhere close to her heart. It could have been deadly in fact but I'm very glad that didn't happen. " I want all the poisoned arrows to be kept away and not be used unless if a need arises . There would also be no archery in school as from today onwards. You all need to be careful especially with things like this. "" And also, Do well to apologize to Kylie when she wakes up." I said turning to Lisa who gave a nod in agreement. I left afterwards and ordered one of my mother's maid to stay with Kylie through the night. I couldn't stay with her righ
CHAPTER ELEVENKYLIE'S POV I couldn't take my eyes off him as he laid the tray of food down beside me and I realised one thing, I had caused all of our problems and now I dont think I'd be able to fix things the way he wanted me to . He wanted me to accept my love for him openly and that I couldn't do . That I wasn't brave enough to do. I worried my bottom lip as I studied his features . His jaw line and how perfectly shaped it was, his pointed nose , dark eyes and full lips which seem to remind me now of how he had kissed me that day , so breathlessly. I'd be lying if I say I'll be able to bear this Malice or bad energy between us any longer . I couldn't. I couldn't let him be angry at me but what am I supposed to do about it. He doesn't seem to want to clear it out and he's making it harder for me with our close proximity now. Some tendrils of his hair had tum
CHAPTER TWELVEKYLIE'S POV There was always a way Nathan looked at me whenever he saw me with Derek . His gaze was always heated and I couldn't quite understand it but i knew he didn't like seeing me with Derek even though he sometimes trys to hide it. We haven't talked much since the day we cleared out our misunderstanding except from his usual visits to my room when he decides to check up on me but I can gladly say he's no longer angry or he doesn't act angry towards me except from today when Derek showed up. We were initially together in my room and he insisted that I be checked first by the doctor before I resume school .Derek came along the way and I can still remember vividly the look on Nathan's face before he left the both of us alone in my room. He suddenly had on a dull expression which made It clear he didn't like the fact I was
