Sienna P.O.V Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I opened my mouth to talk but ended up shutting it back. I am suddenly short of words. I just stared at him like a dummy not knowing what to do. He arched an eyebrow at me and asked, “Mmhm… Miss, I just asked you something. Why are you still here?” I shivered from the obvious coldness in his voice. I immediately cleared my throat and looked up at him while chanting inwardly,’ Sienna, don’t let anyone intimidate you. Yeah… That’s it, girl… That’s the courage girl!!’ But when in fact I was just staring at him and racking my brain to think of what to say. He frowned, now looking a little bit upset. “Miss… Have you suddenly turned dumb? I have been asking you questions for a while now and you didn’t even say a word in return. Are you purposely staying quiet!?,” He raised his voice at me when he was saying the last statement. This made me snap back to reality and I glared at him with a frosty look of mine. He shouldn’t think I am such a pushover. “I just had some questions to ask you,” I replied more quietly than I really wanted to. He narrowed his eyes at me when I opened my mouth to speak again and he abruptly said, “If this is about the electric spark that always occurs between us whenever we come in physical contact with each other, don’t even bother asking about it. It can’t work between us.”

I squinted my eyes at him and thought to myself… Hmm, what is he talking about? What can’t work? I even asked him, “What can’t work? What are you talking about mister?” “The name is Alan,” He replied. Ooh! So his name is Alan. Okay but I still glared at him. I want to know what he was talking about. “You were saying something earlier mister,” I asked him, reminding him of what I asked him earlier. “You haven’t answered my own question. I remember telling you to leave as soon as the intruder gets out of the room so why did you stay and why did you even fall asleep on my bed?” He asked me. I almost laughed at the last question as I looked at him… Why would he ask such a stupid question? Can you question mother nature? When I felt sleepy, I possibly couldn’t have stopped myself from sleeping. “Well, I also remember telling you that I had questions to ask you,” I answered him back, using his own words. He looked at me and stood up. Then he paced up and down the room and I just sat there staring at him. When he finally stopped and turned around to look at me, the words that came out of his mouth were, “It can’t work between us. It will never work. I am not interested in this mate stuff or mate bond. I already have a lot on my plate and the last thing I need now is a mate.” I gaped at him in surprise and chirped in, “Well, I was about to ask you what the deal between you and William is. I didn’t think you would progress so far to the mate bond. So… What mate bond are

you talking about and what is the deal between you two?” He looked speechless and that was when I noticed the tips of his ears turning pink from blush. He also looked down to avoid looking at me. He looked… embarrassed and flustered. “Ugh… I didn’t know… I just thought… You looked like…,” he trailed off and I bent my head to hide a smile at his flustered look. He couldn’t even construct a complete sentence. Why do I feel like he looks cute at that moment? A complete contrast to the cold look on his face when she woke up. That was when the light bulb in my head switched off. He just mentioned mate…. Mate bond!!! Does this mean…? I gasped and covered my mouth… “Did you just say mate bond? Are you referring to what I am thinking about!!?,” I shouted with a gasp following it. “Ssh… Don’t be so loud. You don’t know who might be listening,” He tried to hush me. I stood up and rushed to him. I held his hand and that electric spark occurred again so I asked, “Does this explain why I feel this way when I’m close to you?” When I didn’t receive any response, I looked up at him and caught him staring at me dazedly. Oh no, wait, he is not staring at me rather he is staring at my head. “Is your hair a natural red or have you dyed it?” he suddenly asked. “Huh!,” I responded. *** Alan P.O.V ***

Jeez! What the heck am I saying? Why am I asking about the colour of her hair at this crucial moment? I shook my head sideways and shrugged my hand out of hers. My wolf whimpered as I let go of her hand. He purred sadly, “Ma… Mate.” I pushed him to the back of my mind. “See… You don’t have the right to ask me what my deal is with William. As far as I know, it’s none of your business,” I said harshly and didn’t miss the look of hurt on her face. “But I just wanted to…,” She tried to say but I interrupted her, “It is still none of your business. Don’t try to poke your nose in other people’s business and about this mate thing, I don’t accept it.” She gasped hurtfully. I looked down and missed the look on her face as she asked, “Then are you… Are you rejecting it?” I didn’t reply to that. I just told her, “Please leave… I don’t want any more trouble.” She nodded and left the room. I sighed and watched her leave. All I want is to call her back now and apologize but I can’t. I lay on my bed and thought of how to ask the alpha about my brother. . . . ……….
