Chapter 22 – His Jealousy
REESE’S POV
I couldn’t believe my eyes. Is he really Jamir? I was not expecting to see him again, especially like this. My surprise couldn’t be hidden as I walked towards him in slow steps. How did he get caught like this?
“Reese, is it really you?” Jamir looked surprised as his eyes glued on me.
“What happened? Why are you here?” I asked him. God, he is looking like a rogue now, hands behind his back and kneeling on the ground. I was about to reach him when someone pulled me back harshly.
I looked up to find my mate looking at me “you know him?” He asked.
“He is an old acquaintance of mine,” I responded.
“Old acquaintance?” Azrael’s eyes changed their color. He must be thinking something in his mind. His clutch on my body tightened and I hissed.
“What are you doing? You are hurting me” I frowned.
He let go of me but kept me stuck to his side, not letting me take a step towards Jamir.
“Let her go” suddenly Jamir roared like an angry beast. I jumped in shock with his sudden voice and frowned. What happened to him?
“What did you say?” Azrael almost snapped.
“I said let her go. What the hell do you think you are doing? Keeping her here against her will. Who do you think you are?”
“You don’t have to know what I think of myself” Azrael retorted. “whatever I think of myself, I am way better than you. I don’t need to give any explanation to anyone especially someone like you”
“Just let my hand free, I will show you who I am. I won’t let you keep her as a prisoner here” Jamir reacted instantly as he turned to me. His expression softened “Reese, how did you end up here? I have been looking for you for days yet I couldn’t locate you. I was doubting you might be in some trouble and looks like I was right” his voice laced with concern which made the man beside me groan loudly.
I felt my head start to ache now. What’s happening? How come Jamir suddenly showed up here out of nowhere? And he said he was looking for me. But why? As far I know, I never had any close connection with him. I met him when I was working with Alpha Hardwick to find Savannah. But I never thought, Jamir would search for me like this.
“Jamir, what are you saying?” I asked.
He shook his head “you don’t have to worry about anything. I will get you out of this place soon. Once Alpha knows about your condition, he will help you leave this place and-”
“She is not going anywhere” Azrael roared. His body was shaking in anger and slightly trembled. I can feel his rage which surprised me to the core. Was he severely affected by Jamie’s words?
“If you think you can take her away from me then you are so wrong in there. I will rip your heart out of your chest and feed it to the wild dogs. Don’t make me do something you won’t get a chance to regret” Azrael glared at Jamir.
“You can’t keep anyone just because you want her. She is free to decide what she wants and you are no one to decide anything for her” Jamir retorted.
“What’s happening here?” Alpha Cassius walked in looking serious.
“Alpha we caught this man today sneaking around the border” A man replied who’s name is unknown to me.
“Rogue?” Alpha Cassius looked at Jamir with his cold eyes.
“I am not a rogue” Jamir retorted.
“Oh, then who are you?” Alpha Cassius asked.
“I am Jamir Koch”
I looked at Jamir then to Alpha Cassius. The situation around us started to turn heavier than before. Beside me Azrael was shaking in anger. I hold his arm trying to calm him down. I don’t know what will happen next but I guess everything will be fine.
“I didn’t ask for your name,” Alpha Cassius replied.
“What’s with his identity?” Suddenly Azrael snapped “Alpha let me kill him right now” he growled.
My eyes widened “No…” I yelled.
Azrael looked at me “no? You are taking his side now? You said he is just an acquaintance and now he has become that important?” His eyes reflected hurt which almost stabbed my heart. God, he took my words wrongly.
“Oh, you know him” before I could say I heard Alpha Cassius’s voice behind me. “Looks like you started to bring your friends here?” He mocked.
“Cassius?” Adriana gasped “what are you saying?”
I turned deaf to them because my only focus was my mate who was looking at me with those hurtful eyes. I sighed and tugged his arm “you took me wrong. There’s nothing between us like you are imagining”
“Then why are you saving him?” He hissed.
“Let me correct it, I am saving you” I shook my head “Jamir is from Dark Forest, he is a member of Alpha Hardwick’s pack. You can’t kill him without any reason”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“He was trying to take you away from me, it’s already enough to declare a crime” Azrael retorted. I looked at the man and sighed again. He is so angry now.
“He misunderstood things, that’s why he said such things. You have to calm down okay?” I saw him clench his jaw but didn’t say a word again. Handling a raged Azrael is harder than his normal self.
“Dark Forest?” Alpha Cassius frowned. “Jordan, show him the guest room but put him under observation. And send the news to Dark Forest by the evening” he ordered the man at the side.
“Reese, take John in the room. He needs a little peace for now” Adriana said. I nodded and tugged Azrael with me. All the way to our room we didn’t say a word. Once we reached our room I closed the door and looked at him.
“Why are you so angry like that?” I inquired. I couldn’t have this man being so angry.
He glared at me “you didn’t hear what he said?”
“I heard him, but did you hear what I said?” I threw back the question. I shook my head “you can’t get angry that way, you almost killed him with your rage” my voice softened at the end.
“Do you think I fucking care about it?” He growled.
“You don’t but I do” I told him, “Jami-”
“Don’t take his name”
I sighed at his growl. This man is so possessive. What I am going to do with him. His proprietorial nature had my heart beat faster and my body shiver with excitement. Keep control Reese, what the hell are you thinking?
He looked more masculine when he was angry, a kind of look that could make a woman drench with need. No, shut up. This is not the time for it.
“Okay, calm down” I shook my head “at least listen to me first before reacting like that” I tried to keep my voice as gentle as possible.
He glowered at me. I couldn’t help but cup his face and kiss him hard. This was something I never thought of doing but I don’t know what came to me to take these steps. He groaned and pulled me to him. I was straddling him while he was sitting on bed. Our kiss heated and we both moaned. I can feel his hand going down gripping my ass cheeks giving a hard squeeze.
“Mmmmm…” I moaned into the kiss.
“You are deliberately doing this” he said huskily “if you think you can get away seducing me, then you are wrong”
“I am not trying to get away,” I shook my head and circled my arms around his neck, “I am trying to prove the truthfulness of my words. I was more worried about you than him”
“He has something for you, I can see it clearly” he whispered, “and I don’t fucking like it. Him thinking about you, made me want to rip his head off his body”
“You are jealous” I couldn’t help but say. “I don’t have anything with him, you know this”
“You better be or I will kill anyone that comes between us. I have given up once, there is no way I am doing this again. And I don’t fucking care if it’s a jealousy or other thing.
“I am not going anywhere” these words came out suddenly.
His eyes lit up and before I knew it changed our position and put me on bed while he hovered over me.
“You say it’s true?” He asked.
I couldn’t help but nod.
“Then you must remember this words” he kissed me again. Soon our clothes were lying on the floor and he was thrusting inside me at a hard pace.
“Oh … god ..” I moaned loudly.
“You are mine, there’s no way I will let anyone come between us” he said with his each thrust. “No matter what, I will fucking have you in every way possible” his determination reflected in his words that made my body shiver. I couldn’t protest him nor was I able to stop him.
The only thing I could do was moan his name, surrendering myself to him completely.
