"Please," I begged pulling on the man's arm that was wrapped around my torso, pressing me to him. I wanted nothing more then to be freed of his grasp."Please don't hurt me."
"Shhhhhh," He whispered gently in my ear, "It'll only hurt for a second."

"He didn't help me when I needed it the most!"
Ajax fell silent. His chest rising up and down quickly as he tried to control his breathing and anger. His jaw was clenched as his now dark blue orbs focused on something outside. The trees flew by us in blurs and blobs. I felt like I couldn't focus on anything but him.
"What didn't he help you with?" I ask softly, I didn't want to anger him further but somewhere in my crazy mind I truly believed that I deserved answers. I deserve a true mate and that's never going to happen if he doesn't open up to me.
"Octavia, please." He sighed heavily, his head falling into his hands as he rubbed his eyes tiredly. "There are things you don't know. Things that I'm not comfortable telling you yet."
I understand that, but it still was a bit unfair. At least I got something out of him. He was upset because my father didn't help him and his bright idea for revenge was to take away his daughter.
"Do you not trust me?" I ask curious. We've never actually had any genuine conversations. I always just believed that he hated me and found my company repulsive.
"Do you trust me?" He retorted. His now cool blue eyes roamed over my face, taking in my features before meeting mine.
"I trust you to protect me from anyone but you." I answer honestly. He has saved me twice in the past from two men with very disturbing intentions. I feel a sense of safety, until he comes too close whilst he's angry.
"I don't mean to hurt you..." He trailed off, his eyes searched mine but I couldn't decipher what he was looking for. "I just get so angry. I get angry at your father and I get angry with myself as well."
"Ajax, you can trust me." I say sternly. It was true and I meant it. We are stuck together as soulmates for the rest of our lives and there is nothing either one of us can do about that.
"You're a stranger, I can't trust you with my past." His voice became void and emotionless and I couldn't help but furrow my eyebrows in anger once more. Did I just hear him correctly or am I going mad?
"Well maybe if you didn't physically abuse me and push me away we wouldn't be strangers. Has that thought ever occurred to you?!" I was fuming at this point. His face stood expressionless and I just rolled my eyes at him and turned my head to look out of the window. I give up. Why should I put my care and effort into someone who would obviously never return it?
My leg bounced up and down vigorously, my anger was so prominent that I just couldn't keep still. I wanted to go on a run or do some type of exercise to get my mind off of it and to let go of some of this bottled up anger. I hadn't noticed Ajax move closer until sparks erupted on my knee, his large hand rested on it keeping it steady.
