Emily's POV
"Who are you??" I asked him.
The friends stood up in anger and he signaled for them to sit down. They obeyed but not without giving me a hard glare…
" That's not a proper way to say hi,I just saved you from getting fired." He pouted.
I rolled my eyes and released his hands. I took the tray and walked away when I saw Philip showing me "I'm gonna kill you look."
I walked to the counter and started working. I knew there was something off about this stranger, I can't help but to think that he is dangerous. I got into a one night stand with an unknown man,I facepalmed myself…
After some hours of working Philip gave me a break he wasn't angry anymore I should probably thank the man. Thankfully he was still seated. He was in a deep conversation with his friends. I walked up to him and they stopped talking when they noticed.y presence.
I frowned at their reaction what were they hiding….
"Hi." I spoke up.
"Hi." He looked at me with a smile.
"Can we talk?" I looked at his friends whose eyes were on me.
I wasn't going to disclose about the night here..no way I signaled for him to let's talk outside.
He looked at his friends then his eyes were now on me,I averted my gaze.
"You guys should excuse us." He told them it was more like he ordered them.
"No…no…they can't stay, let's just go outside I promise it won't take long." I convinced him.
"Okay if you say so." He stood up and walked behind me.
We went to the nearby playground for the pups of the pack. It was the safest place for us to have our discussion because the young children hadn't developed their werewolf abilities unlike the adults who could hear from afar.
We sat on the swing. I got him popcorn as a gift, don't blame me, I'm not rich.
"Thank… you for not allowing Philip to fire me." I cleared my throat and spoke up.
"Anything for you." He smiled at me.
We started deeply at each other. The memories of that night kept trooping in. I averted my gaze and clenched my fist the memories of that night,the night I cheated on my mate, would be evergreen in my memories. It was going to haunt me forever.
"But he rejected us, remember??" My wolf Laila said.
"It doesn't matter, i did that before I accepted his rejection." I retorted.
"I…feel.. this… guy cares about us." She said again.
"No,I won't fall for his trap." I looked up at him.
Once he finds out who we are, the Omega of this pack, he's going to stay away from us. I don't want to go through that painful experience of rejection again.
"About that night." He stopped the silence.
"It was a mistake and will never repeat itself." I said coldly.
He looked at me, I could see he was hurt by my statement but I still continued to let this end once and for all.
"I.. was.. drunk..I didn't know what I was doing I…was just desperate for attention." I was lying. Everything I sprouted was a lie.
He didn't say anything at first but later found his words.
"You might not know what you were doing that night but I know and I did that because I wanted to."
"I would like to take responsibility for my actions." He said and I couldn't help but wonder what kind of man is he.
"No need." I stood up.
"Why?" He frowned.
"Because I don't need you to and I don't want you to feel indebted to me for something we both did." Or because I didn't want to commit to a man again in my entire life.
"Are you sure?" He asked sadly and he sounded as if he wanted more from me.
"I'm 100 percent sure." I didn't look at him for fear of changing my mind.
"Okay if you say so but on one condition." He smirked.
I didn't like what this is going to…what if he wanted us to do that stuff again is he like a pervert…you know with his look and the aura he carries ladies will always flock towards him.
"You don't need to be scared. It 's just a simple request." he bursted into laughter.
"Okay hit me."
"Let's be friends, close one." He stretched his hands.
"Just that?"
"And you'll let this go,you won't mention that night again?"
"Yes." His hands were still stretched.
"Fine." I took his hands.
"So where should we start the introduction from?" I asked.
"I'm Colton." He smiled revealing his two side dimples.
"I'm Emily, Emily Jones." I introduced myself.
"Emily." He tasted my name on his lip.
Why do I feel like the reason he wants us to become friends was so he could be close with me? I feel he doesn't want to let me go…I looked at him suspiciously. Who are you, Colton? And why do you make me feel different??
