Chapter 3 The Unexpected Surprise

Tricia's POV

I replied laying a bitter emphasis on the word son.

He gave me no response as he seems quite uncomfortable. He jeered at me, raked his left brow and shoved Fiona's hand from me.

"You're beautiful" Liam comments and I faked a smile at him.

"Oh wow, thank you" i responded in between my teeth and Fiona gestured to him to keep silence.

"Fiona, what do you think?" I asked maintaining a smile at her.

Her attention was drawn to me. She had grabbed a wine glass.

Her name from my lips made her shudder that the glass in her hand shattered on the ground.

Alan quickly stood up, intending to assist but with Trevor close by, he'd handle the mess.

I saw how piteously he glanced at her. I grimanced at him.

Something was definitely going on?

"Are you alright?" He asked in a low tone which got me bemused. He was soft and not harsh.

As for the gentleman Darius, he asked if she was hurt but she responded she was fine.

"You haven't given me a reply"

That was my only concern.

Trevor and Fiona shifted their gaze at me.

"It's good having you around" she replied grudgingly.

A maid quickly appeared to clean up the broken glasses and I decided to ease myself.

Hastily, I paced towards the rest room, slam the door and sigh heavily.

My heart bounced as I sniffed, memories lurks in my head as I tried to push away.

I moved over to the vanity section, glancing at the mirror and trying to commune with tress.

I knew I felt her.

I shuddered as I heard a footstep approaching me.

His fragrance hits my nose hard, I felt mousey not wanting to admit the sensation I was feeling around me.

Then his image appeared. We locked as eyes and I rolled to face him. He was so close and his breath fanned me.

His mauve eyes glaring at me. I intended to ignore him, to push him aside. He followed me all the way here!

However, before I could take a step, he had taken my hand and pulled me to a corner.

My back slams against the wall. Surge of emotions flooded inside of me and tress spoke!

He lean closer to me, my heart thudding as I swallowed hard. I was willing to stab him with the pin in my hand.

"I don't want to believe this, you seduced my father and fuck! Had him make you his?" He growl.

My lips were shaky but I kept a stern look at him. My tail pops out and I tightened my thighs not to reveal them.

I couldn't morph into a wolf but what was happening?

I have him no response, as I battled with tress, unfolding.

"Are you doing this to make me jealous?" He pressed on, gazing deeply into my eyes.

His gaze affected me in so many ways and goosebumps held me.

"There's nothing between us... remember?" I snapped barely recognizing my own voice.

His heat simmer through the gown I wore. I felt hot, which was so unusual.

"End this relationship, you can't be with anyone, not him!" He ordered and I was fucking nervous wanting to push him off.

His words pissed me off. Does he think I'm the old Tricia who does as he commands?

"Why? You don't own me and I chose to be with anyone I want!" I barked back with so much fury in my eyes.

I felt my ears enlarged and quickly, I covered it with my hair while curling myself.

He rakes his hair panting softly and screeching.

"Listen Tricia, you can't be here!" He panics. I had a feeling he was hiding something but just couldn't say the word.

Does he want me? I doubt, his greed over property shares must be the pain.

"Are you scared I'd take all the properties and flee?" I seductively questioned, furious that he belittles me.

Tress, glowers at him. She was willing to jump out and devour him. It was obvious, she was awoken after coming in face with the man who betrayed her.

However, we couldn't finish him now, he has to have a taste of his medicine.

He scoffed and then licked his lips subconsciously. I saw his fang, like he controlling himself from morphing just as I was.

"Think whatever you want but I will end this relationship! I swear it!"

"You rejected me remember? You weren't there but he was! Back off!" I snarled and he darken his gaze at me.

He arched his arm over my head, trapping me in his own space as his breath was slow.

"You're free to hate me but you...you can't be with my father, it's complicated, you might..."

"Shut up Trevor! Respect your mom!" I stressed glowering at him while pushing him away.

"What?" He brawl grimacing at me. It irritates him to hear that from my lips but then...he just has to accept the truth.

He gulp hard as we intensely gaze at each other, exchange breath.

He attempted to hold me back again but out of control, I slashed his face with my claws.

I didn't mean that but tress was happy that she got his blood on her claws.

He sway his face to the left side. I saw my fingers on his face which left a scar.

Blood drool from his cheek and I pant heavily. I was fuming as though I'd explode.

My care wasn't there anymore and rather than flinching at my act, I justified.

"Stay away from me Trevor, I can do more!" I threatened, took a long stare at him and walked away.

I didn't want to join the family at dinner and just took a different direction.

***

I paced towards the garden, walking through the lobby and finally arrived here.

My head was occupied and I needed to clear it. However, his image keeps coming back.

He'd heal up, I was certain of it. Tress crouch her self on the ground. It was good thing she was back.

I thought I lost her.

"Hello pretty grandma" his voice eluded my thoughts and I shoved my gaze at him.

"Mrs Tricia would do" I corrected and snatched the roses from his hands.

I had a cruel gaze at him, he was my enemie's son and so I shouldn't relate with him.

"Can we be friends?"

He furthers with a bright face at me.

"Watch" I muttered, and dumped the roses to the ground, except one.

His warm look at me changed as he was frighten. I stomped on the roses then let out a grievous stare at him.

"Trust no one kid or you'd be trampled upon!" I encouraged like a saint.

He was shivering where he stood, I took my hat down and tears brewed in his eyes.

"The people I trusted caused this!" I raged stomping harder on the roses.

"Liam!" Fiona called running towards him and she quickly hide him behind her.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from this witch!"

"But mom..."

"Shush! Never come close to her or she'd bury you like these roses!"
