What He Made Me

Chapter 15 - I will never forgive you.

Chapter 15 - I will never forgive you:

After Dante left the room, a long awkward silence followed. I've had enough of it now and decide to break it. I sigh and turn to Adrian.

“Are you okay? I’m sorry about that, he’s  just….” I trail off not knowing what to say, and a deep frown settles on my face. What was his problem?

“He’s just being possessive and territorial. It’s only to be expected, with you being so newly bonded and also mates. I’m fine, I’ll be okay.” He gives me a wide smile, as I begin to muse over his words. Dante was being possessive? Territorial? Over me?

What is he? An animal? I swear that’s lions and wolves and animals like that that get territorial over their mates?

Plus,  I’m not even with him! It’s not like we’re together! We may have shared a few kisses and slept in the same bed, but that was only because of the bond and the fact we’re mates. I’m still so confused about how Dante’s and I stand, but we are must certainty not together.

His hurt expression when I told him this plays across my mind, but I push it away, not wanting to dwell. I need something to do, I decide, to take my mind of things.

I shake my head and smile at Adrian in response. He, of course, smiles back down at me. That beautiful smile of his. Hrmm…

Get your mind out the gutter Remmi!

I chastise myself and tear my eyes away from Adrian to find Alana who was looking at me with a disapproving glaze.

“Alana, would you accompany me to my room? Please?” I give her pleading eyes, and hope she gets the message: I really want/need to talk to you!

She nods, and then says a farewell to Adrian who has been staring at us through this whole exchange. I turn to his to give my own farewell.

“Nice to meet you Adrian, I hope we can be friends.” I give him a wide grin. I really like this man, he seems very kind.

No, you just like him because he’s human…and stunningly handsome.

Oh shutup you. Stupid voices in my head. Hrm, maybe I should consider this a problem? Maybe I am going mad!

Well…Who could blame me? It’s got to be expected right? With everything that’s happened really. My life was upside down, completely bonkers, utterly crazy! And I’m arguing with voices inside my head and talking to myself, yes, I’m as mad as a hatter….Oh well…

Adrian, thankfully, pulls my away from my bazar thoughts as he answers me.

“Of course Remmi, I’d love for us to be friends.” This widens my smile, his use of my actually name causing me to really like him. I miss being called by my name, it was all ‘Remadelia’ or ‘My lady’ here. It was driving me crazy.

“I’ll come find you soon, we should get to know each other.” I feel my smile turning into a full out tooth-showing grin. His eyes are gleaming and his smile is just as large.

“I’d love that!” Then Alana calls my name from where she stands at the door, so I give Adrian a small wave and head of after her.

We walk in silence until we reach my room, at which point she indicates for me to sit down on the plush cream sofa and listen.

“My lady, I know you have now accepted the mating between you and the Prince. With this you must understand that he is going to become very possessive over you, I worry…You must not step over that line when you are talking to men, it could prove to be fatal for that man…Adrian, he’s a good old friend of mine, and..I wouldn’t want to – won’t – watch him get hurt because you can’t commit to your mating -”
