MIA'S POV
The party is almost over, everyone's starting to leave.
Nicholas hasn't taken his eyes of me, he isn't bothered by the fact that Mason was with me the entire time.
I watch as Nicholas takes slow strides to us. Mason's grip on my waist tightens, he pulls me closer to him.
Why is he feeling so insecure? Is he afraid that Nicholas will easily snatch me away from him.
Alpha Mason, Nicholas greets as his eyes are still on me.
Alpha Nicholas, I'm glad you came by I honestly thought you wouldn't come, Mason stated.
I had too, since you came all the way to my pack and personally invited me. It wouldn't seem nice if I didn't come, Nicholas replied.
Of course, responded Mason.
Anyway would you mind if I spoke with Mia? In private, Nicholas asked Mason.
Why would he want to talk to me? And about what exactly?
I noticed Mason starts to get a little agitated, he's obviously afraid I will change my mind and leave with Nicholas.
Mason's claws dig into my skin, causing me to whimper.
He quickly removes his hand, I'm sorry love, he apologized in the mindlink.
it's alright, I responded.
"I'm going to let him speak to you if you try any tricks I'll swear I'll kill him", Mason threatened in the mindlink.
Don't you trust me Mason?, I questioned.
I do but its him that I don't trust, he answered.
"so will you allow me speak with her?" Nicholas cut in.
"of course", I'll be outside if you need anything just call me, Mason mumbled to me, he then placed a kiss on my cheek and left without saying another word.
Nicholas unexpectedly yanks my arm and pulls me towards the living room, where nobody could be seen.
I rip my hand out his grip and shoot him a warning glare.
who the hell gave you permission to touch me?, I hissed.
He snickers. you're my mate and I have all the rights to touch you, he spoke.
I scoff. Nicholas I think it's better if we reject each other, you can't....suddenly his lips is on mine.
I quickly push him away before someone sees us.
what the hell? I exclaimed.
I should've done that as soon as I entered this place. I will not accept your rejection.
Mia I want you to come with me, I want you to reject Mason.
That's not possible and it's too late Nicholas I'm already mated to him, I now belong to him and only him.
No you don't, you're mine and only mine!
I snort. it's too late Nicholas, I think our times up. Mason's probably waiting for me, I said as I was about to leave.
You're not going anywhere Mia not until you tell me that you're mine.
I sigh. Nicholas you're crazy, why can't you get it in that damn head of your's that it's too late?
it isn't Mia, I don't care if he marked you or if you both slept together all.....a hard slap lands on his face.
he looks at me stunned.
What the hell was that for? he asked holding his face.
That's was for you ruining my life!
"What do you mean?" I ruined your life.
"it's because of you Mason hurt me", I cried out.
Nicholas cups my face and wipes away my tears.
What has he done to you Mia?
I push Nicholas away from me. You really want to know what he did?
Yes, Mia tell me, what has he done to you?
Im sure after I tell you, you wouldn't want to have anything to do with me.
Tell me please, I promise I wouldn't leave and I don't think I'll ever be able to let go of you that easily. Mia I really want for us to be together, so tell me what has he done to you?
He raped me! Mason raped me becouse I tried to escape, I sobbed.
I'm going to kill him! Nicholas threatened as he was about to walk out of the living room.
I quickly gripped his arm, stopping him. "where are you going?"
I'm going to rip him apart for hurting you Mia, Nicholas seethed.
No don't bother, like I said it's too late the damage has already been done, I gestured with my hands in the air whilst the tears flowed down my cheek.
What do you expect me to do? sit back and watch him hurt you once again?
He won't because he thinks I'm happy and in love with him.
Are you?
of course not!
Then why do you insist on being with him?
I want Mason dead!, I exclaimed.
Nicholas stares at me shocked. That's the reason I'm still here, I want him to pay for everything he's done.
Nicholas nods in understanding. Fine but let me help you take him down.
Why? why do you want to help me?
you're my mate Mia and not only because of that, Mason has done something and I want him dead for messing with me.
What has he done to you?
When the times right i'll tell you but right now we have to find a way we both can communicate.
That isn't possible, Mason is always behind my back.
Relax I'll take care of that all you have to do is keep an eye on Mason's every move.
But you need to promise me something Mia?
What?, I asked.
promise me that after Mason dies you will give us a chance?
Yeah, I will, I murmured.
Thank you Mia, I swear you won't regret it.
I think you should leave, it's been a while we're in here talking, Mason's probably wondering what we're up to.
Yeah, you're probably right, he let out.
Nicholas lifts my chin with his index finger and gazes into my eyes.
Don't worry I'll get you out of here soon, he promised.
And I trust that you will take care of dealing with Mason?, he enquired.
yes I will, I answered.
great, I'm going to leave but i'll give you something to remember me, he told as he kissed me.
This time I never pushed him away, instead I kissed him back.
something deep within me stirred, it felt great being this close to Nicholas I never once felt this good with Mason.
Nicholas pulls away and places a kiss on my forehead.
I'm going to miss you Mia, he wispered and walked out, leaving me stunned.
So are you going to give him a chance?, Bella suddenly popped up in my head.
Where were you all this time?
"I've been around, observing stuff", she replied nonchalantly.
observing what exactly?
Nicholas, he such a gentlemen isn't he?
I heave an exasperated sigh. yes bella he is, so what is your point?
Maybe we should give him a chance? what do you say?
We? I emphasised.
Yes, we, Bella answered.
Bella, there's no we in this. I don't care if he's your mate as well. the truth is I'm not going to give him a chance.
You lied to him? how could you do that Mia, bella shouted.
I don't trust him what if he's just the same as Mason?
all alpha's are just the damn same.
No Mia, Nicholas is different. I've spoken to his wolf.
you did? so that's why you haven't been speaking to me this whole time?
Yep.
but how did you communicate with him?
Well you remember the first day we met Nicholas?
yeah....i do.
well his wolf and I somehow managed to connect with each other and since then we've been talking a lot.
I see, so you didn't bother sharing this important piece of information with me?
Sharing what?
shit did I just say that out loud?
