Revenge to the Alpha Mate novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Chapter 123

"We can’t be together Adrian, believe me you don’t want to be with me" I said, trying my best not to let the tears come "What will it take for you to see that?"

"It will take emptiness here" He said using his hand t was on my face to grab my hand and plae it on his chest, above his heart "Emptiness instead of heat and memories"

I stood tensely, all too aware of the geen eyes on my face. All too aware of the broad shoulders only inches from mine.

"you’re running again Nate, It’s time to tell me what you’re so afraid of"

Of you. Of myself I wanted to scream. Of the things you make me feel and a past I’ve tried o hard to forget

"Nothing"

"You’re lying"

I didn’t deny it "It’s finished. It has to be finished"

"it’s just beginning"

I shivered at the determination coating his words "I can" I looked down and caught sight of the scars on my wrist, feeling the others on my stomach and body even though they didn’t hurt, but right then they were almost burning, making me aware of their presence "Just go" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"not until you tell me what you’re so damned afraid of"

"Of you" my breath caught "Of wanting this" My voice broke "There, are you satisfied?"

I heard him breath a soft curse "No I’m not satisfied, not at hearing you’re afraid of wanting me. Who caused you to have so little trust" He came pressed me against the wall, his body molding into mine "Who left you like this Nate?" He whispered into my ear, placing a kiss right under my earlobe and working his way till he reached the base of my neck "Tell me and Ill kill him for doing this to you" He covered my hammering pulse with his lips "you’re trembling"

"I’m not trembling" I said but my voice betrayed me. His lips found the line of my shoulder and planted slow kisses alng its ridge "here" his lips brushed my neck again "and here" he whispered tracing the edge of his shirt

"I-I" My words came out as a sigh as he contined to plant kisss from my shoulder to my arm and then he held my wrst and slowly raised it to his lips. It was when I felt him freeze that I was able to think through my daze and tried to yank my hand away.

"No, Adrian. Let me go"

"Two. Three. A dozen" He said cursing under his breath. He raised my the sleeve of the shirt I was wearing and his jaw tightened as he saw the other faint scars.

"How, Nate? When?" He said angrily

"Promise?"

"Promise" he said and grabbed my chin and tilted my head upwards "I’ll always be there for you"

"Wait" I said knowing he was about to kiss me, but he needed to know so he could have a chance to change his mind. "I have to tell you something, Adrian. Now before I lose my nerve"

"Whatever it is can wait" he said as he tried to kiss me again but I moved my face

"No it can’t. You need to be able to change your mind." I took a deep breath "It’s about my--my ex fiance"

I felt Adrian tense "Fiance?" I nodded my head and took a deep breath

"My mom and dad arranged me and Luke, the son of the owners of a very successful company, to marry each other at eighteen. They made us be together at fifteen and we got engaged a bit of years later"

"What happened, Nate?"
