55 Alpha King’s Ego. 11 “What was that all about?” Flynn asked me when he approached me aggressively. My eyes were stuck on Zane and Mariyah. Why was he holding her close like that? “What is going on? Why is she in your arms?” I asked, not caring what the others would think of my reaction to Zane and Mariyah. “Why do you ask?” Mariyah broke the hug and screamed at me, “You f*cking bit me like a ps*cho!” Zane held her back. and rubbed her elbow to calm her down. “That was very nasty of you,” Flynn commented. “Flynn! Take her to the restroom and help her clean up. I need to speak to her,” Zane told Flynn, but Mariyah turned to face him. “Talk to her in front of us,” she insisted, pouting at him. “Yeah! Talk to me in front of her,” I interrupted the two, not ready to speak to him alone. I was beginning to see some fault in his actions. He told me he had broken things off with her, so why were they still so close? “You two think you can corner me and make me submit?” Zane muttered, licking his lips, and then let out a sarcastic chuckle.
“I am not cornering you. I just didn’t understand why you had to speak to her alone. Insult her in front of me,” she demanded as she held her hand around the bite mark and kept staring at him. 55 Alpha King’s Ego 288 (Vouchers “What she did was disappointing, I admit. But what made her act so violently? Why don’t you tell us what you did first?” Zane stepped back from her when questioning her. “What? I didn’t do anything.” Mariyah raised her voice in shock. She was perplexed by the fact that he
was questioning her. “Then how did she get so many bruises on her face?” Zane asked, walking in my direction and raising my chin by placing his fingers under it. “What are you doing? Why do you care where she got the bruises from? I can treat her the way I want. Why do you care?” She kept yelling when Zane touching me irked her. I could have stepped away from Zane because I was still upset with his initial response. However, I didn’t. I wanted her to see him touch me and gently caress my chin as he kept scanning my face. “You raising your voice at me is not going to help you. You are making me angry,” Zane said, finally pulling his hand away from my face and shoving his hands in his pants pockets. The black wings he was wearing made him look so good, but scary at the same time. “Okay. I will deal with her my own way then,” Mariyah nodded at him as if she was judging him for not taking her side as she expected of him. I bet she had no clue what kinds of relationships were binding Zane to me. The problem here was the way Zane initially reacted. He didn’t even give me a glance when he arrived at the scene. 55 Alpha King’s Ego 1 “Let me clean your wound. He will take care of the matter, right Zane?” Flynn interrupted the two when he noticed they were kind of drifting apart because of the conversation and then offered Mariyah help. She accepted his help and walked away with him while giving Zane a dejected stare. Once they left, Zane lunged my way and grabbed my arm to drag me to our car. I didn’t say a word until he shoved me in the car and sat me down in the driver’s seat to head back home. “What was that?” he yelled, gripping the steering wheels tightly and grunting at my actions. “You tell me what that was,” I muttered to him instead of answering him. If anything, he owes me an explanation. “Why did you attack her?” He ignored my question and continued questioning me angrily. “Do you think I attacked her? Did you even look at my face?” I didn’t even know when I started yelling
at him. I used to be so scared and timid, but as always, once I get too comfortable, I lose my poised demeanor. “Don’t raise your voice at me, Beatrice. I am not Flynn, whom you can treat the way you want. I am an alpha king. I don’t listen to anyone disrespect me,” he sniffed angrily, clenching his jaw when muttering the words. “You said you broke it off with her. Then why was she in your arms?” I asked, looking out of the window and hiding the tears forming in my eyes. “We are still friends. And we treat each other with respect and never hesitate to comfort each other. Even Flynn wrapped his arms around her when taking her to the restroom,” he yelled 55 Alpha King’s Ego. at me while driving recklessly. 1 “Stop the car!” I demanded when I decided I would not let him lie to me. “Excuse me?” He was probably expecting me to sound guilty and apologize to him for questioning him, but that wouldn’t work. Not after I saw it with my own f*cking eyes. “I don’t want to sit in the same car as a liar like you,” I said in a clear tone so that he could hear every single word from my mouth clearly. He did stop the car but locked the doors so that I wouldn’t leave. “Did you just call me a liar?” He turned to me after unbuckling his seatbelt. “I thought you were blind when I saw the way you didn’t see the bruises on my face. I am now realizing you might be deaf too.” I, too, unbuckled the seatbelt so that I could pull back toward the door and turn to him. “I saw the bruises, but I couldn’t do anything because so many people were watching us. I couldn’t defend you in front of all of them.” He shrugged, yelling exhaustedly when trying to sound like he had no choice. What a poor guy! Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Oh! So you only grow balls when we are alone?” This time, when I questioned him, my voice came out in a whisper. His words and lack of faith in our mate bond deeply hurt me.
