Chapter 99: Change the narrative

Darrien.

His bed is small. So, fucking small but somehow, I love it. we are sprawled under the covers; I have to hold him tightly because there is literally no space for the two of us.

Something has changed between us.

That kiss.

That amazing kiss that I denied myself of.

I can’t believe I held on for that long. I don’t even feel as guilty as I thought i would. I liked it so much. I felt so much from just a kiss that it washed all the guilt out of my mind.

He doesn’t seem concerned about the age thing.

I need to speak to someone about it because the longer I stay with him, the more I wouldn’t be able to resist him. It is like torture, being so close but unable to devour your favourite meal.

Jabi has become my favourite meal.

He has become my favourite everything.

’’It’s already night-time,’’ he points out and sure enough, I look out the tiny window in his bedroom and the moon shines brightly. It is at that point of reaching its peak. In two days, the moon will be full. When Alanis told me about the mating ritual; I was envious. I want to do the same with him. I am so fucking ready to be one with Jabi. I don’t want to overwhelm him though. Especially when I don’t even understand how this all works.

Not once have I thought that it would be easier if it was anyone but him. the moment I met him; I have wanted him. there is no fear in my mind, no worry that this will be a mistake.

This is the most certain I have been about anything.

’’Are you hungry?’’ I ask him, leaning forward till my face is in the crook of his neck. He shakes his head as he plays with the strands of my hair. See what I mean when I say I will lose my mind the closer I get to him. Just innocent touches from him and dark thoughts running through my mind.

He is pulling my hair and all I can think of is how hard he will go at it when I am inside him, naked and sweaty.

Fuck.

I pull away from him subtly. I don’t want him to have to worry about anything. There is this fear in him—the fear that this will end.

I have tried to assure him that I am for real.

’’We should get you something to eat,’’ I stand up from the bed and he watches me with confusion etched to his face.

’’Are you hungry?’’

I shake my head. I don’t need food. He does. Besides he is too skinny. My goal is to fatten him up.

’’It doesn’t seem like you have anything edible in this house. I will go look for food for you.’’

He jumps up the bed and grabs me by my shirt ’’I’ll come with you,’’ he suggests.

I don’t want him to come with because I need to discuss somethings with Beau. I don’t know if he will have the time right now. They are supposed to be wrapping up the burial. There are things I need to know. I can’t stand all this uncertainty.

’’Uh... Okay,’’ I pull his hands off my shirt and grab them in mine tightly.

’’I will be back with something delicious. Don’t worry yourself.’’

There is a worry in his eyes, the kind that makes me want to stay back and hold him in my arms. Let him know that this is real, and I am not going anywhere. I lean forward until his lips are on mine. Kissing, that is how far I can go with him. I don’t want to cross that line, but I also think about other things I can do to get closer to him. His hands slide until they are holding me by my waist, he pulls me closer and I don’t fight it. the minute I kissed him, I let go. There is no going back from that kiss; not like I even intend to.

This kiss is soft, moist, hot and breathy. At this point, I am not trying to win aa battle, but I am seeking union and closeness with him. my tongue slides into his mouth, touching his in a quick yet determined curiosity. Letting out a heavy breath, he moans against me. the sound I will come to love, crave, need. Slowly I pull back from him because that is all this can be until I am sure. Until I know that this is not wrong.

The heat in his cheeks rise with a smile ’’Do you still want to go?’’ he knows that he is my weakness. He fucking knows how to get me to waver.

’’You are freaking cunning,’’ I groan because I am unable to leave him right now.

He chuckles, his lips are red and swollen from the kiss. I want to have another taste. Fuck all this temptation. ’’You need food though,’’ I interject.

’’I will be fine. I have gone days without food. This is nothing to me,’’ he tells me so nonchalantly but my heart stops against my chest.

He is talking about enduring hunger because that is what he is used to. I won’t let him endure anything again. I will take care of him for as long as I am here.

’’Come on, let’s go together.’’

He opens his eyes wide. Probably surprised.

We walk out of the tiny house with my hand gripping his. I want it to be known that he is mine. We get to the front of Beau’s house. A woman walks out of it, I don’t know who she is, but I see her eyes on our hands entwined together. She doesn’t look too happy about that. the thing about this, in the past I wouldn’t prance around showing off my relationships. I didn’t feel the need to but now, I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable. I don’t care if they look at us and say ’Eww.’ I just want to let the world know that he is mine and I fucking love him.

’’Is Beau in?’’ I ask her.

She shakes her head immediately ’’At the recreation centre. They are having the burial dinner.’’

I furrow my brows, Jabi squeezes my hands ’’I know where it is,’’ he interrupts almost like he read my mind.

I thank the woman, even though she was not really accommodating ’’We missed the burial,’’ he says sadly.

I stop walking ’’I have a question.’’

He nods ’’Do you even give a shit about these people?’’

He opens his eyes wide ’’They are my family.’’

I want him to understand something. These people are not his family. They treated him like trash. He felt like he had to remain in this situation because he didn’t have anything else, but I am here.

I am here to show him what it is like to be loved.

What it is like to have a real family.

’’They are not your family, your real family died. During the war and these people felt obligated to take care of you—they did a shitty job at that.’’

He sighs ’’It’s not their faults.’’

I frown ’’The fact that you were left to fucking starve for days? How is that not their faults?’’

’’They had their own issues. I am just an omega.’’

The anger boils within me from that word. He is just an omega? Does that judge all their actions? So, being an omega means you’re fucking trash?

’’Don’t ever say that again. You are not just an omega. You are a person. You are smart, beautiful, your smile lights up the fucking universe.’’

Tears well up in his eyes. I want to hold him, in the middle of this compound. I hate that he thinks so little of himself and I will be damned if I don’t change that narrative.

Can’t have him thinking all this about himself.

’’Darrien,’’ I turn around before I can say anything else and Alanis smiles as he walks over to us. Jabi goes behind me, still unsure of my brother. I don’t blame him, but there is a joy in me that he finds safety with me.

’’We didn’t think you’d ever come out of his house,’’ he looks at Jabi.

I shrug ’’I actually want to have a talk with Beau and this little guy needs food,’’ I say gesturing to him.

He smiles ’’There’s food inside. Do you want to go have dinner?’’ he asks Jabi.

’’Go on,’’ I urge him, and he obeys at once.

I watch him walk inside.

’’What do you want to talk about with Beau?’’

’’Just some stuff, you don’t have to worry about it’’ I assure him, but this only gets a raised brow in suspicion.

Alanis still doesn’t trust me, and I don’t blame him, but I will prove myself to him and everyone else.

Show them that I can be trusted.
