The forbidden rule (MxM) (A werewolf story)

18.

"Huh"

I asked with shocked wide eyes not believing what my ears are telling me right now. Did I hear correctly or I'm hallucinating? I gazed at him not blinking at all with my mouth wide open trying to breathe, before I faint "Pardon me" I stuttered when he didn't say anything else.

He sighed as if in relief, an unreadable expression intact as he looked me up and down as if drinking me in or examining my expression until he took a deep breath. He gulped hard "I said, go out with me" he repeated with confidence not breaking eye. I blinked rapidly, still shocked by what my ears are telling me. My breath hitched in my throat as I struggled to breathe.

My whole body seemed to freeze, I wasn't breathing.

I closed my eyes for a second trying to organize my thoughts and praying to the moon goddess that I was dreaming or hearing things but I knew better. He said it twice. I controlled my ragged breath looking at him again and he was still standing fully in front of me.

"What? Why" I let out in a shaky voice, fuck, I am stuttering. I never stutter, always confident but these words right here are throwing me off the fucken cliff. What the hell was happening?

"Because I asked you," he said in a duh tone, brows raised as if it was the simplest thing in the whole world.

"Why, why would you ask me," I asked after taking a deep breath and getting out of my shocked phase. I asked a different thing so where did this come from? What was going on here?

I was confused.

"Because I want to go out with you," he breathed out as he gazed at his gold wristwatch as if he was on time but he has to first explain shit. He wasn't going anywhere until he explains.

"Can you tell me the reason why you're asking me out?" I asked in a lower tone this time without stuttering. I want to know his motive. No one comes out of the blue and asks an alpha such a question when they are also alphas. This is absurd. What is his motive? Is he playing tricks with me? What the hell is he thinking?

"Alpha Kolan, time isn't on my side right now and I don't want to discuss this here. We can talk on our date" he exhaled making my already wide eyes widen more, date. "I will call you" he picks up his suit jacket wanting to leave.

"Date," I asked confused still processing what he just said, "like date, date. Like sitting in a restaurant and eating together and and and talking" I asked to be sure or we might be on different topics.

His eyes lit up "Yes Alpha Kolan, like date date. Eating together and others" he again confirmed it with a serious expression. What the fuck is wrong with him, does he even know what the hell he was talking about? I was fuming.

"Are you out of your damn mind" I almost shouted shaking in anger "how can you ask another dominant on a date? It's forbidden in the book which guides us. you're the king, you should know better" I walked toward him shaking my head in disbelief. As he went mad or something.

He sighed softly looking into my eyes with a pleading look. Why was he pleading? he wasn't expecting my outburst and I think I scared him with the way he was looking at me. Did I scare him? "I'm not out of my mind, alpha Kolan. I know what I am doing" he gulped letting out a shaky breath "I know I'm asking another, dominant on a date but please..." he swallowed trailing off and as I looked into his eyes again, I saw nothing but sincerity. "Just please say..." he chewed on his lips.

"Oh gods, you're serious" I gasped out, pulling on my hair, at first I thought he was kidding or playing games with me like he used to but seeing the serious look and sincerity in his eyes, that was something.
