"Bold of you to assume that I won't tear you to shreds just because you're my mate, boy." He snarled.
"It's not what you think, Liam is your Beta's mate remember? There's no way in hell we could go that far, he was just helping me out of my wet clothes." I swallowed hard, my voice, now shaky.
"Why are you shielding him with your body?"
"Cause you might harm him."
Then he gave Liam a death stare, as he growled.
"What are you still doing here?" He half yelled.
Liam scrambled out of the bathroom, leaving us alone now, my heart pounded hard in my chest. Still pretty much angry, I walked away from him to the bedroom. He followed me of course.
"Don't you dare walk out on me Ryo."
"Nice to know you actually know my name."
"I'm King." I glanced over at him.
"Hello King." I replied awkwardly.
"There's no need for you to feel uncomfortable around me, you're my mate, I won't hurt you." He declared.
"You already have, countless times." Anger evident in my voice.
"That's why I'm here instead, and not him. I figured we haven't had much of a conversation together. Do you mind?"
I stared at the man that stood before me, thinking. His wolf seems nice, have I always misunderstood him? I felt bad now.
"I don't mind, but first you have to help me out of my boxer shorts, I need to change else I'll catch a cold, but I'm too weak right now."
He smirked.
"With pleasure." He walked over and bent down in front of me, and slowly pulled down my boxer shorts, I felt extremely hot.
"Don't worry, I won't try to have sex with you in this state, I'll pretty much sex you into a coma, you're too weak for my action now." His signature smirk plastered on his face.
I blushed.
"You do realize that you're one with Asher right? And if I'm mad at Asher, I'm mad at you too."
"Oh come on, what'd I do? I wasn't even the one who had sex with her."
I sighed softly.
"I'd like to be alone King, thanks for helping me change." Feeling betrayed, I sat down on the bed and covered my face with my hands.
"You know I can feel what you're feeling right? The moment we completed our mating process, we became one. You can feel my emotions, and I can feel yours. Our soul binds together, I can feel your hurt."
He sighed.
"You should eat." He says, concerned and I can't even blame him. I haven't eaten anything all day. I need to eat to keep up my strength, considering the fact that I don't know what will happen next, I need to be ready. Then I noticed something weird.
"Why can't I read your mind?"
"You can read minds?" He looked at me surprised.
"Isn't that what happens after you mate with an Alpha?" I asked confused.
"We only hear thoughts, we don't read minds. Only someone who possesses the power of the Healer…..." His eyes widened instantly. He stared at me in shock, I felt strangely weird.
"Come on, we have to go to my parents now." He picked me up and hurried out of the hostel.
A sleek four-door matte grey car that looked like it was obviously owned by someone with money and power was parked just outside the hostel, my eyes widened as I asked, "is… is that your car?".
"Yes, it's my jaguar." He said nonchalantly.
Even though I had never seen him drive a car since I got here, he did look pretty high maintenance. I'd definitely go broke just taking him out on a date.
He held the door open for me and I climbed in gracefully as possible, don't want him thinking I haven't tasted a little bit of luxury, even though I haven't.
Shutting the door after I had gotten situated in the seat, he walked around to his side and got in. I felt the car rev to life with a purr as I brushed my hands over the black leather seats and took a deep breath.
It still had that new car smell mixed in with Asher's natural scent, and it was one of the most heavily combinations.
"It must have cost a fortune." I murmured.
He chuckled, changing gears and we were suddenly speeding down the road. I felt a sense of relief.
"Actually, it was only about 80 thousand."
Sir! Only? You've got to be kidding me, I cleared my throat softly.
"It's yours if you like it." My jaw dropped.
You're damn right I like it, who wouldn't sir!
"That's an expensive joke Asher."
"Can I tell you something?" He asked, his voice a little huskier in the close quarters of the car.
I instinctively found myself leaning closer.
'You can also make me feel anything'
"Of course." I said.
"This is the least expensive car I own, and I have five vehicles." He said matter-of-factly.
So he is rich, rich. Nice.
"Does this car serve a purpose?" I asked.
"This one is less flashy, and being the Alpha, I really need to be careful around crowds and making a scene. And that's because my mate will also be in the car with me, don't want him feeling uncomfortable."
I stared at him in awe, whilst dying to ask him a question I've always been curious about. he glanced at me and smirked.
"Yes, I am bisexual. I've always been bisexual, I just wasn't expecting a male mate, it's the first time ever an Alpha King had a male mate." He explained.
I scoffed at him. "You made it seem like you were straight to the core, and the thought of being with me disgusted you."
He feigned a shock expression. "You make me sound like an asshole."
"You kinda are one." I looked away.
'An asshole to the world, and a beast in bed. Too bad I'm not your first, but you are mine. Maybe I need to have a few flings, then we'd be good.'
"I'll kill whoever dares to even glance at you." he said with a stern look. "And if they touch you, I'll cut off their fingers slowly until there's nothing left. I'll tear them to pieces."
Shock engulfed me. Did he just listen to my thoughts?
"Yes, I just did." He said.
