Chapter 22: Pretty cute ass

VALENCIA’S POV

"Shadow! What the hell! How can you just pick me like this? Do you have no shame?" I couldn’t help but shout as soon as my heart calmed a little and my senses kicked back in.

He didn’t say anything, and I was forced to look at his sexy side- profile that made him look even more enchanting.

"So no formalities anymore? I became Shadow from Mr. Shadow as soon as we were alone? Or should I think you are hinting at something?" The beta asked me, and I gritted my teeth.

Formalities my ass! How dare he pick me up in his arms?!

’I know right? No matter how lovely it feels or how alluring his strong arms feel around us or how much I love the feeling and wonder what his hands would feel like on our naked body, especially on our chest and well... How dare he?!’ Aurora chimed in.

I felt my cheeks burning again at the images she plastered in my head, making me gulp as my heart skipped a beat.

Her words made me more conscious of how appealing his build was as he held us effortlessly like we weigh nothing.

Wait... What the heck? That wasn’t even the point! I glared at my fake-wolf for distracting me who grinned back at me.

I concentrated back on the man who was walking with me in his arms.

"I call you Mr. Shadow because you are my professor in front of everyone. However, when we are alone, you are nothing more than a beta who will decide whether I get to live in peace or will have to leave this place and struggle once again. So pardon my rudeness, but I have no interest in respecting my enemy," I said, whispering the last part.

The man stopped walking.

He turned his head, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he looked at me with that intense gaze, which made me avert my gaze immediately.

"I am not your enemy, Valencia," he said, his deep voice almost feeling like it held so much meaning and depth that I wanted to drown in them.

However, I knew better. The devil always comes into your life dressed like a handsome man that you can’t ignore.

And knowing how this man might be the one beheading me if they found out the truth about me, I knew he was the devil for me.

"Is that so? Can you promise that nothing would happen to me no matter what? Are you an ally then?" I couldn’t help but ask.

He didn’t say anything just like I had expected, and I smiled bitterly.

There was his answer. Not my enemy, my ass. I seriously hate people like these who throw words here and there without knowing how much weightage they hold.

It’s as if their words hold no meaning but for people like me who really value their words, it’s quite unacceptable.

"As long as you are not at fault, nothing will happen to you. I will see to it," Shadow said, his serious eyes holding me captive.

"Just put me down. I don’t want to be held by someone I don’t know," I whispered, unsure of what I was feeling anymore.

"For someone who just saved your pretty little ass from being kidnapped and shot, you surely look very grateful," Shadow rolled his eyes.

I scoffed this time.

Saved my ass? I would’ve handled myself perfectly fine if there wasn’t an Alpha and his pack lurking to punish me because I am interacting with humans.

"For someone who wants to punish me for interacting with humans, you surely are smug after breaking a few laws. How are you going to report this to your alpha? That you got into a mess with the humans because of a girl you don’t know?" I asked.

The man smiled, one of those cunning smiles that turned into a smirk as if he couldn’t be bothered by anything and he was above the law.

The kind of smirk that unnerves me.

"I know, right? How will I tell my alpha? What will he do to me now? Why did I get into trouble for your pretty cute ass?" Shadow asked, gazing into my eyes, and I glared at him.

"Stop calling my ass a pretty cute ass!" I snarled at him.

Well, since I was basically a cat rather than a wolf, I hissed at him, and the man chuckled.

"Why? I believe it’s pretty cute and little," He said before tilting his right hand and placing it right under my butt cheeks.

Heat crept up my neck immediately, and I looked at him dumbfounded.

He just didn’t...

What a cunning fox! How dare he touch me inappropriately like that?!

Without wasting a single second, I raised my body slightly and bit his neck hard for him to let me go.

My action indeed worked and his grip finally loosened, making me jump on my feet, my two feet.

And now that I was standing, I remembered I wasn’t in my cat form and that biting earlier must’ve...

"Seriously woman? Is this what you came up with?" Shadow asked with his one hand on the bite mark.

I stood there defensively with my pupils dilated when I tasted his blood in my mouth.

Did I bite that hard?

It wasn’t my intention. Not when I have been trying my best to avoid getting into a truffle with this pack and its members.

I stepped ahead, licking my lips, strangely finding the taste good. For someone who is vegetarian, I am surely acting like a cannibal today by loving the taste of his blood.

"Is that blood on your lips?" Shadow looked at me with fake shock in his eyes when I knew he could clearly smell his blood, and I rolled my eyes.

"I didn’t mean to bite you that hard, okay? But you have to know that I am a wild soul and I don’t like being tamed," I whispered before taking out my handkerchief.

I stood on my toes and removed his hand from his wound before folding my handkerchief.

Yes. I could feel his eyes on myself and notice how close we were standing too. But it wasn’t the time to think about all those things.

"You do know you are a strange woman, right? First you provoke me, then you act like you are a victim. Then you go ahead biting me and then come forward to put your handkerchief on it," Shadow said.

I didn’t say anything for a few seconds until I tied the handkerchief on his neck.

His wound would probably heal in 1-2 minutes, but this was the least I could do.

"You don’t need to understand me. Let’s just stay out of each other’s business. You do your work of studying my case, and I will do my work of staying out of trouble and studying what I am here for," I said even when I felt strangely awkward saying these things.

It was almost as if I was asking for a break-up after leading him on.

"What if I say no?" He asked, stepping ahead, his intense gaze not leaving my face, and I stumbled back.

What did he mean by no? My suggestion was pretty good.

"What -" I started but he interrupted me.

"What if I say I want to entangle my business with yours because I enjoy it when you flare your nose in anger. Just like you are doing right now? What if I say I enjoy seeing that pretty cute ass getting into trouble. It’s quite entertaining in my monotonous life," Shadow smirked.

I glared at him. And yes, my nose flared too.

How could he call my miseries entertaining? This guy really knows no shame.

"You! Has anyone told you how big of a jerk, self-centered, egoistic, narcissistic, opportunistic -" I started speaking.

’Handsome,’

"-handsome and anger inflating-" I paused and glared at my wolf who suggested that handsome word out of nowhere.

"So you find me handsome?" Shadow looked at me with amusement dancing in his eyes.

Seriously? Out of all the words I said, this was the only one that caught his attention? Why am I not surprised?

"I don’t even know why I am talking to you," I turned around to leave when he held my hand.

"The exit is that way," He pointed in the opposite direction, and I huffed loudly.

"I know! I was just testing whether you know or not!" I glared at him before leaving.
