Chapter 48: Make her go crazy
ALPHA MAVERICK’S POV
’So friends, huh?’ My wolf, Reaper, wriggled his brows at me as soon as the traffic stopped moving at the red light, and I rolled my eyes.
I knew this was going to come sooner or later. It surprises me that he was able to control his chattering mouth for so long.
Honestly, Reaper wasn’t always so talkative. Rather, he had gone atrociously quiet after the incident. It was almost as if he wasn’t even living inside my head, always appearing when we needed to exercise our alpha powers or to show his extreme emotions whenever provoked, but it’s like from the moment we met Valencia, I saw the shades of him that I never knew existed.
’Stop it,’ I looked away, feeling shy before I paused and froze in my place.
Wait. Why was I feeling shy? I scowled before hardening my gaze.
I am an alpha, the most dangerous one for god’s sake! Was it optimum for me to feel such emotions and think about them so openly at that? Obviously not! I reprimanded myself to clear my head.
"You could’ve done better," Reaper chimed in again, and I furrowed my brows.
"Done better? How exactly?" I looked at him, confused.
"Well, if you could’ve shifted just by a few mm, we would have been able to taste her sweet lips," Reaper said, and I felt my ears turning red immediately.
This wolf! I swear he turns into one hormonal teenager when it comes to Valencia.
"Reaper! She is our friend, for the moon goddess’s sake! We just made a new friend, and the first thing you want me to do is kiss her lips and scare the wits out of her?" I reminded my wolf, who scoffed at me.
I suppressed my urge to groan as I accelerated my car again.
Why? Because whenever he scoffs like that, I know a reality check is going to be thrown on my face, and just like always, I wasn’t wrong because in the next moment -
’Ayee, don’t tell me you didn’t want to do that. You can hide your true self from everyone but from me, Maverick. Both of us know you are drawn to her,’ Reaper said, and before I could retort with a fitting reply, he rolled his eyes at me.
"Every time you sniff her, her scent is barely there, but it’s enough to drive you crazy, and the only thing you want to do in that moment is kiss the wits out of her and make her remember who is the alpha here. Sealing friendship, my ass. Just say you wanted to devour her but were afraid that she would run far away," He added.
I gritted my teeth before stopping the car at the side of the highway to sort out my thoughts that were going haywire. An accident was the last thing I wanted to happen because, from the way my wolf kept catching me off guard, I didn’t think I could concentrate on the road.
’’You are acting like this just when I started talking about her. Imagine what kind of reaction you’ll have when she is by your side, probably holding your hands,’’ Reaper wriggled his brows, and I sighed, completely defeated this time.
He KOed me with this one.
I couldn’t deny Reaper’s words.
How could I when even I didn’t know what was going on in my head? All I know is that from the moment I saw Valencia writhing in pain and the way she screamed in horror in her unconscious state, this weird protective feeling ignited in my heart that hasn’t gone down ever since.
From getting angry at the management because they were trying to get away with putting all the blame on Valencia to almost losing my mind when I found out she checked out and paid the bill herself even when I knew she struggled for money, my head has been filled with nothing but thoughts of her.
Honestly, when I followed her, I had never thought that she would end up in a painting auction like this.
I was watching everything from the window.
I didn’t even know which painting was hers among all of them.
However, as I was observing her, I noticed the little changes she had in her body language as soon as this painting in my back seat was shown.
The way she tried to look around, wipe her hands on her clothes, nitpick her nails, everything told me she was quite nervous, and I immediately knew it was either close to her heart or drawn by her.
I wasn’t a heavy spender like this, and I was definitely not an impulsive man, but the way she looked at that human boy as if he was someone special, holding his hand just because he bid for her painting at a hefty price, I just couldn’t control myself at that moment.
Without thinking twice, I bid the amount for the painting which I knew wouldn’t be easy for anyone to cross easily. And honestly, if someone had bid higher than that, I was ready to spend even $1M. I knew I was capable of that at that moment.
It wasn’t much for someone like me who runs multinational companies, but I am sure it was something big for Valencia.
I thought she would be happy.
There was no lie to it.
I really thought she would turn around, hold my hand like she did with that boy, and smile at me.
Don’t ask me why I wanted that, but at that moment, I just wanted her to smile at me.
However, to my utter surprise, not only did she not thank me or act just like she did with that boy, she rather ran away.
I would be stupid if I didn’t understand what was going on in her head. She was planning on running away from me. The way her body froze right after I sat behind her, only a fool wouldn’t understand the implication.
She did that to me after everything I did!
Could I really handle it? Of course not.
That was the reason I followed her, and waited for her to come out of the washroom that she might be using just to avoid someone.
Till that moment I had no intention of befriending her. Just like her, the word ’friend’ held great meaning to me, and I am a person who really values his words.
But it was something about the way she looked at me with those bluish-gray eyes that had me enchanted at that moment.
There was no way, an alpha like me had a slip-up of tongue, it was all her doing.
She has this witchy aura around her that mesmerizes me and lures me in completely.
And the result? I ended up promising her I would protect her from the alpha. Indirectly telling her that I would protect her from myself.
It was a heavy deal I made today. First, it was that money, and then this even more expensive promise, I was on the losing side.
That was why I needed that compensation. I had to have something against her that would make her think about me too. That would make her lose her mind like I was losing mine. And that was the reason I kissed the corner of her lips.
It was impulsive too, but the moment I kissed her, I just...
All I can say is that Reaper was right.
I wanted to kiss her at that moment, kiss her until all she could speak, think, and smell, was only me.
And the thought alone scares me.
The amount of control she is having of my mind scares me.
And thus, I have decided to make it worse for her.
I pulled out the phone from my pocket and quickly typed a message.
"Get back home soon and have a good rest, sweetheart. It’s not good to stay with a man of another species for too long. I might get angry,"
I smirked before hitting the send button, already imagining the scared expression of hers in my head.
You guys guessed it right. I will harass her as the alpha from now on and then save her as my own beta.
’You are truly cunning. Remind me to not cross you,’ Reaper shuddered, and I chuckled evilly.
You just wait and watch Valencia, you have lured me enough.
Now it’s my turn to make you go crazy.
