The Prince's Stubborn Mate

Chapter 37

"You remember." He said softly looking at me with terror filled gray eyes.

The purple tinge in his irises had vanished when he realized that I remembered him.

"Everything." I said looking at him, my face impassive.

"Jessabell, I can explain." He began stepping closer to me.

His parents still stood frozen in the door way along with my father while my mother took up a permanent place by my side.

"There is nothing to explain."

Demetri attempted to step closer to me but I held up my hand,

"Don't come near me." I hissed "I never wanted to see you again. Ever."

His eyes held hurt in them but I didn't care because I have endured more hurt in the while that I have known him.

"I'm going to return the two dresses that I got for the wedding and the ceremony, and you will stay away from me." I said placing emphasis on the word 'will'

Demetri's eyes started tinting purple around the edges of the iris.

"May I please have a moment with my mate." He said it more like a command than a request.

"Now." He hissed when everyone hesitated.

"You heard my son, let's leave them alone." Alpha Alexander said leading his wife and my father out the door.

My mother still hesitated and I grabbed her arm not wanting her to leave me alone with him.

"Mrs. Archer, leave." The alpha commanded in his ruling tone making it impossible for my mother to disobey him.

She reluctantly released my hand and made her way out the door which alpha Alexander closed behind her.

"Now that you have your memories back, we can pick up where we left off instead of starting over." Demetri said in a deceptively calm voice.

"I was left at attempted suicide, I don't know where you were." I told him bluntly.

"Jessabell, you can be snarky all you like but we will be mated in two days."

"Please stop deluding yourself because now that I know what an absolute fuck tard you are, I will not be mating with you nor will I be marrying you."

He let out a growl as his eyes turned completely purple.

"You can make this easy for yourself or you can make it very hard, either way you will be mine completely. I always get what I want Jessabell." He said placing his hands on either side of my hips and leaning in close to my face so that we were about two inches apart.

"So we're back to you being a bully. How fucking fantastic." I muttered sarcastically pulling away from him.

"I do not appreciate your attitude or your language."

"I don't appreciate your presence."

He glared at me before he pinched my upper right arm.

I gritted my teeth trying not to give him the satisfaction of seeing me in pain but I caved and apologize when he started digging his nails into my flesh.

He let me go and looked at my arm where a small bead of blood had started to gather.

He attempted to wipe the blood away but I pushed him away from me, "Don't touch me." I muttered.

"Fine, I'll go get your doctor."

"I didn't believe my mother when she said that I tried to kill myself, but now that I remember exactly who you are, I can see why I did it," I said as Demetri began walking to the door, but at my words,he froze and slowly turned to me.
