Chapter 3 What have I gotten myself into

Divaillie's point of view

"What are you doing here..."?

"That's not the right way to talk to your mate, Ariana," my father shunned before I could end my sentence.

I bit my lips hard as I could feel the taste of blood that erupted through my tongue. I just had to curb him; I had no idea how to.

I was beginning to get frustrated honestly , I had put my hands into coal ,but I loved the beauty of the coal and forgot the heat it gave .

"What's your name, young man?" my father said in a gentler tone as he dropped the stack of meat gently in his mouth, his gaze fixed on the young man before him.

"I'm Alex liam, the son of a nobody," I gulped my water gently, but as soon as I heard that, it was like the universe was working altogether against me.

"Be careful, my love, he said as he slowly moved beside me while tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.

Yes , do you want to know what I felt once again , sensation running through my spine , exactly that .

I wanted to push him so hard to watch him land on his butt, but I restrained myself while faking a smile.

"Why was he sitting down beside me?" ........... "Hunn, what did you say, Ariana?" the alpha questioned with a serious face as he glared right at me.

You know I think I should be using my father a whole lot in this contexts , but he rarely was never a father while growing up , all I saw in him was an alpha for his kingdom and his pack.

"Gosh, I had no idea that I had just spoken out loudly, picking a stack of meat. I munched it so hard while diverting my anger to the meat.

"Alpha Muller," Alex called out. I subconsciously dropped the fork of meat on the floor and gave a loud smile. Everyone's attention diverted to me, including the striking gaze of my father.

"Ariana,", Father called out in a soft but worried tone. "Are you okay?" he asked as I nodded while bowing my head and eating my meal quietly.

"Ariana can always show you within the palace walls since she is your mate. "On hearing the words of my father, I stood up while faking a cough and rushed towards my room, ignoring the distant calls of my father and the other members of the royal bloodline.

"What the hell was going on?" I had no idea, as I soliloquized while breathing heavily, that things were not working how I painted them to be, and it was getting frustrating.

The door opened wide not long after, and I spotted Alex right there with a huge smile on his face. He stood at the door with his muscular features popping out of his chest.

"Would you keep staring at me that way?" Alex said while feeling himself; he gently closed the door as he walked close to me with his gaze not leaving my body for a second.

"I began to find him creepy; however, as I stared at him, I knew he was not the same man who was desperate for freedom a few weeks ago.

He seemed different ", I said while staring at him , my face filled with disgust maybe !

I couldn't still understand my own expression even after a long while.

"What the hell do you want?" I said as I spoke in my highest tone. "Calm down," Divaillie, my inner wolf spoke; however, I just ignored her as I glared at the man right in front.

"You need me and I need you..." What's that supposed to mean?" I questioned frankly.

"Alex, if you know you have nothing to say, can you please make use of the door?" I instructed, expecting him to go out; however, the irony of what I expected happened as he sat on my bed, glaring at me.

"Princess Ariana, let's play this wisely. Wanna make a deal?" he said sarcastically. His face shuddered into an incoming devilish laughter . Now I felt I was in the cage, not him.

"Why should I have a deal with you? Why should I?" My voice ,I spoke, feeling already agitated by his presence.

Minutes passed as he stared. I couldn't help but feel trapped; you are nothing but a Huge monster. I spoke bitterly as I glared at the man right before me.

"I'm not consenting to your stupid idea; I saved you from death and gave you life in the palace, so what the hell do you want in addition?"

"I said as I glared at him, "Get out of my room right now, " i ordered. He looked back, and the words he said couldn't help but ring a bell of impending danger.

"Oh Chim", what have I gotten myself into?" I soliquied once again as I glared at the mirror, looking despicably at myself.

The thought of whatever deal he just made was out of it ... I wasn't going to do it

I stormed out of the room to look for Alex; probably we could talk things out. I stared around while walking towards the hallway.

"Ariana, where are you going in a hurry?" Xenia said as she ran towards me hastily, We had been friends right from childhood. So she was quite close and like family. ..

Even xenia had no idea of Liam , I hadn't told anybody anything ... I just rushed into it like a car that the breaks failed

"Where are you going, buddy?" Xenia questioned me as she looked at me. I was lost in thoughts, and I doubt if I even heard of her footsteps.

I turned backwards as I heard my name being called; smiles escaped my lips as I looked at Xenia, who stared right at me.

"Xenia, what are you doing there?" I questioned as I looked at the only safe space I had while growing up . She stared right at me .

And at that moment , I felt more than guilty for not telling her what she deserved to know. "

So... I can't come to the wolf palace any longer since you just don't want to see me. Is that what you are implying?" She said as she played with her nails while looking at me.

"Of course not; I would never deprive you of coming to this place; it's your home as long as it's mine," I said as she dropped out a faux smile.

Alex passed by, and though I wanted to stop him, I could see his wolf growl right at me, and I got the message.

"F*cking handsome, who is he? "She had her eyes on me as he passed while her cheeks blushed red. I snapped my hands right at her front, and she staggered, almost falling; however, my reflexes were fast, and I held her.

"He is my mate and my man." "O.m.g., see those triceps ripping out of his shirt," Xenia said, and it just made me feel nothing but more irritated.

What the.... Holy Jesus ! I was still going to tell Xenia the truth but it wasn't any time from now though .

What should I do ? Help me wolves ....my thoughts ached
