Chapter 6 About Her

• CADEL’S POV
• I walked into my room this morning after having a rough night. I didn't sleep a wink as I occupied myself with work. Sorting out documents that were not even necessary. My wolf was restless too which made me even more stressed.
• I hated it when I had issues with my brother. I know it was inevitable since he seemed to have it all out for me, but I tried to avoid situations if I could.
• I stripped out of the clothes I had on the other day and I caught a whiff of the scent of my mate which made me smile. At least, there was already something good in my life.
• Quickly taking my bath, I dressed up and walked out of my room, towards Anna's.
• It took everything in me not to go into her room and have her sleep in my arms.
• I knocked twice, before opening the door then looked around the room and saw her walking out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body.
• I didn't hide fact that I was staring at her though. She looked like everything I had ever imagined and more. Trying my hardest not to picture her naked, I changed my stance and cleared my throat.
• "Hi. Hope you had a good night sleep?" I asked, my voice sounding gruff to my own ears.
• "Y… yes thank you." She said quietly, her big eyes looking around the room, as if she wanted to hide away from me.
• "It's okay. I won't hurt you. You're my mate." I said gently.
• "I know." Her angelic voice came out gently, barely above a whisper.
• "What do you want to do today?" I asked, walking into the room and trying as much as possible not to fantasize about her body.
• "I have no idea. Look around the mansion, maybe." She said, stepping backwards as I came closer.
• I stopped suddenly.
• Carson was here.
• His scent was in this room.
• That bastard came here.
• I told him she was mine. That she belonged to me.
• "Carson was here?" I asked her in a low deadly tone. I was trying my best to suppress my wolf. It wanted to come to the surface, but I don't want to scare her.
• "Wh…. what? …. No.. no one was here." She stammered out.
• "Don't you dare lie to me. He was here wasn't he?" I grabbed her upper arm and pushed her to the wall.
• "Did he touch you? Did he hurt you?" I said, my eyes trailing over her body at the same time. The monster in me about to surface.
• I sniffed her neck and his scent was there. All over her face.
• He touched her face.
• He touched her body.
• He fucking touched what was mine.
• She was whimpering now.
• "You are hurt… hurting me." She whimpered.
• Suddenly that made snap of my thought. Causing me to release her and back away slowly.
• "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it." I pleaded, putting my hands up in the air.
• "He… he was not here when I woke up, but I could smell his scent. He … he was here when I…. I was sleeping." She croaked out.
• That bastard. I was going to kill him.
• I turned around and stormed out of the room, but I heard her saying I should not hurt him. That did not stop me from leaving though. It only fueled my anger. She cared about him.
• I was seeing red by the time I exited the mansion. I saw Lucas outside the house.
• "Where is Carson?" I asked fuming out in anger.
• "Humm.. Alpha, is there any problem?" He asked.
• "Where the fuck is Carson?" I boomed.
• "He just left the training ground so he should be in his room." He said and bowed his head.
• I stalked back into the mansion up to Carson's side of the house. I didn't bother knocking as I pushed the door open and stormed in.
• I could hear the sound of the shower which means he was in the bathroom.
• I made some noises by tapping my feet on the floor as impatience consumed every inch of me.
• I knew why he was doing this. He just doesn’t want to see me happy. We were never close, but we knew our boundaries.
• I knew he was doing this on purpose to annoy me. To make me angry. I told him she was my mate. MINE.
• He didn't want her. He just wanted to mess with her and he knew that would mess with me. Besides, I found her first which meant that she was my mate.
• I walked back and forth in the room when the door to the bathroom swung open and he came out. I stopped pacing for a few seconds before storming towards him, and throwing a punch in his face.
• "You fucking bastard!" I growled. Punching him in the face again.
• "You touched her! You fucking touched her. I told you stay the fuck away from her. That she belonged to me! "
• He didn't let me have the next punch as he threw his arm at my face. I felt a little crack on my jaw, but that didn't stop me.
• "If you want to play with me, come directly at me. Don't use her in your sick and twisted game to hurt me." I seethed.
• He clicked his tongue and smirked at me,
• "That will be a little boring, don't you think?" He said wiping blood off his face.
• "What?"
• "She's our mate, no?" He asked like he's expecting me to answer that.
• "And as the first child, I've layed my claim on her and I don't fucking care about what you think or the fact that you found her first."
• In blind rage, I went at him. I bashed his head on the shelf beside him. He did same to me. We hurt each other equally as we share same amount of power.
• "She belongs to me you sick fuck!" I growled at him.
• Few seconds later, we were pulled apart by Cameron, who was looking at both of us with disgust obvious on his features.
• "Will you both come to you senses and stop this nonsense?" He said in a chilled tone that would have been scary to a regular wolf, but not to us.
• We stood apart with Cameron between us. Cam turned to Carson and said,
• "Brother, we spoke about this yesterday and I thought we came to an understanding."
• After a few seconds, Carson replied,
• "You said what you wanted to say, but I didn't agree. Yeah?" He replied, not taking his eyes off me.
• "Why are you doing this Carson?"
• He clicked his tongue and smirked. Clicking his tongue kind of became an habit when he wanted to be an ass.
• "Why? Are you asking me why? You know why." He continued smirking, wiping blood from his face.
• "She's my mate. I feel the mating bond towards her. Cam rejected her immediately he saw her, no? That leaves two of us. Now, brother, why don't we both learn how to share? hmm!" He said, now fully smiling with a set of bloodied teeth.
• "You mother fucking bastard!" I wanted to reach for him again, but Cam pulled me back.
• "Cadel." I smelled her scent before I heard her voice. I didn't turn towards the door. I was scared to look at her. I didn't want her to see me like this. My wolf whined in my head.
• "Cad..el." her voice was nearer now. I felt her touch my back. I did what came to my mind at that particular time. I turned around and swept her into a hug.
• She hesitated for a few seconds before hugging me back, but pulled away. I looked deep into her eyes, I realized then that I don't want to lose her.
• "You're hurt." She whispered, touching my face gently. I winced a little when she touched a sore spot.
• "I'm fine." I cupped her face gently.
• I felt Carson storm out of the bedroom, Anne's eyes following him. I felt pained, knowing that she cared for him, because it showed on her face.
• I pulled her face back to me.
• "Look at me. Are you sure he didn't hurt you?"
• "I told you, he didn't. He didn't do anything." She said. "Come. Sit." She pulled me towards Carson's bed.
• "I'll leave now brother." Cam said and walked out but not before glancing at Anne.
• She walked into his bathroom, and came out with a box. I smiled at her. As alphas, our wounds heal within a few minutes, but I didn't tell her that. I wanted her to touch me and take care of me.
• "You all should not fight because of me. I feel guilty enough that I came between you three. I don't want you to fight because of me." She said, absent mindly, cleaning my wounds.
• "It's not because of you babe." I said not taking my eyes off her. She blushed.
• I cleared the bangs in front of her face, and cupped her face.
• "We've always had our differences. So, I don't want you thinking you are the cause." I stopped talking for a little while before I continued,
• "You're so beautiful."
• She dropped her face, but I raised it back.
• "You are the prettiest woman I have ever seen. I know I sound very cliche right now but that is the truth and I want you to know it."
• "Thank you for finding me attractive." She said mindlessly.
• I knew she felt awkward about her body, but I made it my mission to change that about her.
