The Girl He Marked

Book 2 Chapter 11



Chapter 11

Lexi's POV.

'Hey, you alright' Aria asks as I near her and I force a smile.

'Yeah, I'm fine.'

I'm not fine.

I force myself to forget about Rixon and enjoy the barbeque, but it doesn't last long. He soon appears

from the house and heads over to Jayce and Myra, helping them cook the meat.

Every now and then, I feel his gaze on me, and whenever I look at him, I find his eyes already on me. If

he isn't careful, someone will realize that something is going on, I give him a look that hopefully

translates to be more subtle, but he just winks in response.

Prick.

'So, what do you know about Rixon' I ask casually, hoping that Aria doesn't question my interest. She

glances over at the boys and shrugs.

'Not much, really. He and Jayce have been friends a long time, he keeps to himself mostly, I know pack

gatherings aren't really his thing being a rogue and all,' she explains, I feign disinterest and put some

food on my plate.

'Oh, he's a rogue' I reply, feeling like a bitch for hiding this from one of my friends. Here I am,

pretending to have never met him, when two minutes ago he was inside of me.

'Yeah, Myra says he left his pack when he was 18. He didn't fancy pack life,' Aria tells me and I narrow

my eyes.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Yeah, I bet he didn't 'fancy' it after they kicked him out for killing one of their own.

I watch as Rixon readjusts his baseball cap again, wearing it backward. I realize that he's wearing it

that way so the cap will hide his brand if it shows above his t—shirt. My stomach churns uneasily and I

quickly change the subject with Aria, eager for a distraction.

The rest of the barbeque passes without incident, and I manage to slip out without talking to Rixon

again. When I return home, I stop by the pack house, knowing Mum will want to see me.

'It's been a week and I haven't seen you at all! What on earth have you been doing' She demands as I

roll my eyes and sit down at the kitchen island.

'Nothing I've just been busy, I'm here now alright'

'Better late than never I suppose, tell me all about the barbeque,' Mum says just as Dad walks in.

They sit opposite me, and I fill them in, leaving out everything to do with Rixon. If I tell them, they'll flip,

and I need to figure out what I'm going to do first.

As I lay in bed that night, I consider rejecting him. But after the way he took control in the bathroom, I

know it's no use. I'd never been able to go through with it, especially not if he touched me...kissed me...

No.

It's not an option.

So, what am I supposed to do

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆✥⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

I shower the next morning and do my make—up, telling myself that I would have put this much effort

into my appearance even if I wasn't seeing Rixon, but I know it's a lie. Just after lunch, I get a text from

him, telling me to meet him in an hour and he'll track my phone.

Not creepy at all.

I try to keep myself busy for an hour, but I just can't concentrate on anything.

After a painful 45 minutes, I grab my jacket and head out of the house towards the border, making sure

no one is watching me. My stomach twists with nerves as I get close to the edge.

With no warning, something barrels into me and I'm thrown a couple of meters through the air, landing

on my back on the ground. I wheeze loudly, trying desperately to get air back into my lungs after being

winded. I sit up, looking around to see what hit me.

'Are you insane Look where you're going!' I shout at the half—naked man lying in front of me.

'I need to look where I'm going Girl, you came out of nowhere!' He yells back, angrily brushing the dirt

and leaves off his bare, but muscular arms.

'Excuse me, you're the one that ran into me! You should be more careful!' I retort and pull myself up off

the ground.

'You should be more careful, almost killed me,' he mutters, and I roll my eyes.

'Are you okay' I ask, not really meaning it, but feeling like I should ask.

'Yeah, I'm good.'

He flexes his biceps and gives me a cheeky grin, making his blue eyes shine mischievously.

I scoff and pick up my phone to check it's undamaged. When I glance up, Rixon is stood in front of me,

worry on his face.

'Are you alright' He says, and I take a step back, slightly alarmed by our close proximity.

'Yeah, I'm fine. Do you know this twat' I ask, gesturing to the blonde who wiped me out.

'Hey!' The twat protests to being called a twat.

'Yeah, unfortunately, he's my brother,' Rixon says, rolling his eyes.

'Oh...you brought your brother with you' I look at him in surprise and he sighs.

'Yeah, he wanted to meet you. And I thought it'd be safer, seeing as we're technically trespassing.' He

shrugs and I nod slowly.

'Um okay, I'm Lexi by the way,' I introduce myself to the blonde, who makes me laugh when he puts out

his hand for me to shake.

'Ben. Nice to meet you. Anyway, I'll leave you two lovers alone whilst I keep watch.'

He winks and disappears into the trees.
