Kendrix I had a lot going on with me but on top of everything was the guilt that I felt; I was already feeling guilt for what I did with Veronica in Dilgem, even though it was just a kiss, it was something that shouldn’t have happened and all through the plane ride back to O-when, I kept wishing that it didn’t happen, arriving in O-when made it all worse because Ariel had been so happy to see me, she welcomed me with open hands and even told me that she wasn’t mad that I didn’t keep up with her while I was away, I really do not deserve her but she was with me and it was clear by the way she was so happy to see me that she had feelings for me. I noticed before but now, it was so obvious and another thing was my wolf hasn’t shut up since we got back. “Mate,”He muttered the one word that he had been using since we got to Arielyn even though I had told him multiple times that she wasn’t our mate, I cared about her but I would know, right? If I got a new mate, I would feel the connectio
Kendrix I woke up to my phone ringing, I picked it up and reduced the volume so as not to wake Arielyn up, she was sleeping so peacefully. I glared at my screen wondering why the fucker was calling me so early in the morning when it is not like we have any business. Reluctantly, I took my phone and got out of my room as I didn’t want to disturb Arielyn with a phone call so early in the morning. “What do you want, Jordan?”I asked when I was sure she couldn’t hear me. I sat on the sofa in my gym room, still sleepy. “You finally returned to O-when, I see,”Jordan said. I don’t know how he knew I was out of O-when and I didn’t care either, I just wanted to know why he was calling me so early in the morning. “Can we skip the fake greeting part or whatever this is and go to the reason why you called me so early on Sunday morning? Surely, you didn’t call to check up on me,”I let out. maybe he was calling to try and talk me out of getting the throne again, like I was ever going to chang
Kendrix. “You are playing with me, right? No way Veronica helped you set me up,”I let out, still trying to hold on to the good Veronica that I know. “You think so? Then how do you think I got the photo then? There is nothing much more poisonous than the anger of a jealous woman and you know I am good at capitalizing on shit like that, right?”Jordan asked. I felt sick to my stomach thinking of what must have gone down and might have happened if I had taken that kiss further, I couldn’t believe Veronica betrayed me and was acting like she was caught off guard when it was her plan all along, I just don’t get why she was jealous and who the fuck she was jealous of. “Why and who is she jealous of and what has that got to do with me? I haven’t seen her for eight whole years and until I met her again in Dilgem, I thought she was dead, fucking dead, what did I do to warrant her poisonous jealousy being targeted at me?”I asked. Jordan was having a field day mocking me, I hated him so muc
Arielyn. Kendrix was back with me, Rose was happily married and currently out of O-when for her honeymoon and everything was kind of fine but I couldn’t help the feeling that settled on me that everything wasn’t okay, for one, Ken was a lot calmer and barely said anything. We spent the whole of Sunday together doing couple things but I felt like he was not totally himself, it was as if something happened in Dilgem that he couldn’t bring himself to tell me, I didn’t want to be nosy so I just let him have his quiet time and hoped that he would get over what is wrong soon or at least talk to me about it. I did ask him if what he went to do was successful and he said it was, he even told me he got the Orient, which means he was almost done, all he had to do was hand it over to his father so I just couldn’t figure out why he was moody, withdrawn and sometimes lost in his thoughts. Three days after Rose’s wedding, I decided that I couldn’t take it anymore, I knew he was hiding something f
“We are not mates, I know that’s what our contract said but it is just the contract, Arielyn,”Ken responded. I stared at him in shock. Of all the things I expected him to say after what I told him, what he ended up saying wasn’t even part of it. I didn’t even think about our contract, I haven’t even thought about that in a long time. “I am not talking about our contract, I am talking about us being each other’s second chance mate, you felt it too, right? You know what I am saying right?”I asked. Hoping that he would give the answer that I wanted to hear but by the look on his face, it was clear I wasn’t going to like his answer. “I don’t know what you are talking about Arielyn, why are you being like this? We signed a contract, that’s the only reason we got together, I have never seen you as my mate, I didn’t feel anything, how would you be my mate and I don’t feel anything? You don’t have to do this, we can be together without you trying something like this, it is not very tellin
Kendrix I had a rough night after what happened between me and Arielyn, I handled everything wrongly, I messed up and had wanted to go tell her I was sorry and that we could talk it out but then Raul refused to let me pass, even though I explained to him that it was grown up stuff and he shouldn’t interfere, he told me to my face that he would fight me before he would let me into his room because whatever grown-up stuff we talked about made her sad to the point of crying, he sounded so mature and protective of Arielyn that I had walked back to my room in shame. I couldn’t believe a teenager was more mature than me. While alone in bed, I went over our conversation from where she asked me what was going on with me. I knew she must have noticed how I was acting recently, when she asked, I wanted to come clean to her but the thought of her leaving me had made me not say a word. I should have just told her. then when I went upstairs, thinking of fixing things, I didn’t find her in our ro
Kendrix “So now, you are making up stories just so that he will look good? Father, you will regret doing this, you will regret choosing this bastard over me, I will make you pay,”Jordan roared in anger and stormed out of the place, leaving me and my father. I didn’t have anything else to say to the old man so I stood up to leave. “Your mother will be proud,”This was the first time my father had ever spoken of my mom to me, one thing is, my mom has always been proud of me, so it was no news, she has been my biggest cheerleader all my life and she will remain like that. “She has always been proud of me, I have things to do at the office so I have to leave now, we will talk some other time, right Father?”I asked him and he nodded. I excused myself and walked out of his presence. I was almost in the parking space when Jordan suddenly walked out of nowhere and stood in front of me, blocking my way. “Get out of my way, Jordan, I don’t have time for you right now,” I warned him but h
Arielyn Whatever I thought heartbreak and rejection felt like eight years ago didn’t quite compare to what I was feeling right now, nothing prepared me for how sick I felt inside, I woke up early and left Raul’s room because I didn’t want to hijack his room the whole day, I made sure to lock my door because I didn’t want Kendrix to come in and make everything even worse. He already made his stance clear and now it was up to me to get over myself. I had to force myself to smile and look as happy as I could fake when Win-rose called because I didn’t want her to be worried about me when she was supposed to be having fun with her new husband, she did ask about Ken and I just told her he was busy. After the call, I went back to my misery and that’s how I spent my whole morning and afternoon. Raul came to check up on me and I told him I was okay and I just needed some time to myself and he left without questions. My phone started ringing and I stared at it, hating that someone who was not
