Mated To My Childhood Bully

Hazel gulped down. She could see the sincerity in the eyes of the Alpha but if she gave him a positive response, she knew she was not being sincere to him.

“Hazel” he called her name softly, leaning in even closer.

“What do you say to this?” He asked but Hazel still gave no response to him.

She knew it already that he liked her. It was obvious to everyone who could see him that he liked her but then it was about her.

After some seconds of not getting any response from Hazel, Damien leaned in for a kiss. His eyes closed slowly as his lips almost met with hers but Hazel could not allow it.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

She placed her palm over her lips. Damien’s lips touched her palm and his eyes opened as slowly as it had closed.

Their eyes were gazing into each other and Damien could feel sparks of love running through him but the same was not for Hazel, she could not feel anything at all inside of her for him.

“I am sorry” she pulled away from him.

“You… You are rejecting me?” Damien questioned.

“You have helped me a lot over the past three weeks, Alpha Damien but… But I really do not feel the same for you ”

“It is because of him, right? Because of Axel… He is the reason why you are rejecting me?”

“It is not just because of him but… I guess he is also a reason” she mumbled the last part of her words.

“You still love him?” Damien asked and she shook her head in a negative response.

“I do not! I do not love him anymore. I would be damned to love a man who chose to kill me…. But, then…” She struggled with the right words to say

“But then, I just don’t know but the both of us, I do not think that we can work, Alpha Damien”

Damien walked towards her and took her right hand in his hands.

“We can. As long as you try changing your thinking of us being impossible. I love you and I am willing to do anything and everything for you, Hazel. Please….”

“I am really sorry that I cannot do this for you, Alpha Damien”

But Damien was not ready to give up that easily. He pulled her closer in an attempt to kiss her but Hazel struggled against him, showing her firm stance about not wanting him.

Damien let go of her hands and took a few steps backwards.

“Fine” he mumbled.

“It is fine. I am sure you would still love me eventually. It might take some time but I am sure you would” he forced out a smile and then walked out of the room.

Hazel looked on as the door shut behind him. She plopped down to the bed, making her towel loosen up.

“I am sorry, Alpha Damien”

She could not tell if it was entirely wrong of her to reject him after all he was the one feeding her, sheltering her and clothing her but when she thought of it deeply, that was the more reason for her to reject him.

It would be better than leading him on in a relationship that she knew would have no love.

She reached for the table and picked up her phone, a new phone that Damien had gotten for her. She had barely any contacts on her phone but there were contacts in her head.

Axel’s contact and the contact of Clarissa too. There were so many nights that all she would want to do was to call Axel and have him explain to her what that night was about. She could not deny that she missed hearing his voice but she knew she could not dare call him. She would never call the man who had wanted to kill her

The Alpha was lying in his bed. He could not understand why he was feeling so weak out of the blues.

He could barely get up to attend to his usual duties and he could not tell why. The door of his room opened and Axel walked into the room.

“Greetings to you, father” he greeted and the Alpha responded with a nod of his head.

“How are you feeling now?” Axel asked.

“Feeling not so better” he replied.

Axel buried his hands into his pocket as he worried about what in the world could have happened to his father in the past five days.

He was healthy six days ago but now his health was deteriorating rather fast.

“Why don’t you let me take you to the hospital?” He asked.

“No, I will rather stay home than go to the hospital” he refused the offer just like he had been refusing it ever since Axel had been bringing up the idea.

“But you are not getting better here” Axel groaned.

He had enough on his plate, his father getting sick was more and he did not want it at the moment.

“I will get better soon. I am sure of that” the Alpha replied.

Axel removed his right hand from his pocket and ran his hands through his hair.

“What about Hazel? You are still hiding her from me?” The Alpha asked, still thinking that Axel still knew about her whereabouts.

“I have told you this a thousand times, father. You chased her away already. You made her leave me” his voice turned venomous as he spoke.

The door of his room opened and Rex stepped in with a glass of medicinal water in his hands.

Axel and Rex ignored each other’s presence.

“I will take my leave now. I will be back tonight.”

“Stay strong, father”

“Alright” the Alpha replied and Axel exited the room.

Rex moved closer to his father and handed him the glass of medicinal water to drink

“Here you go, father. I can only wish for you to get better soon”

“The pack needs you already, they need their Alpha already” Rex added.

“That’s right” the Alpha sighed and took the glass of medicinal water to his lips, slowly gulping it down.

A smirk appeared on Rex’s lips.

“Take it all and feel better, Dad.”
