chapter 53

Mike p.o.v

The idea of wanting to have a talk to lisa seemed to be in vain even after confessing that I didn't kill anyone but it seemed that she was confused about it and decided to leave though I saw her going to a room with toby and I got distracted by Nora.

one hand she and I used to be close since we were kids and things were going well for everyone but I guess good times sometimes comes to an end which it did once toby and his parents left and we all moved on with our lives.

No matter how much I miss the old days I don't think it will ever be the same again now that we've part our ways and became frenemies or something like that.

Whats surprising is that Nora just confessed that she likes me and wants me to accept that Lisa would never like me as much I like her. even though it hurts like a sword I still want to know it from her myself.

I took Nora's hand and walked out as I waved to a taxi I looked around and saw Lisa walking away and she entered a limo. she looked as though she was confused and sad I couldn't go to talk to her as I felt Nora's hand holding my hand.

I looked back at her and she shook her head with a pleading eyes hoping that I wouldn't go to Lisa but I didn't think it was the right thing to do as I know it won't be an easy task as well.

Before I could agree I saw the limo that Lisa entered passing in front of us and she didn't look fine so I decided to let it be for the meantime as I wanted to think about everything and figure. out how to solve this without getting involved in a fight with toby.

Nora and I entered a taxi and went to the hotel we stayed the previous night, once I entered my room, I took off my jacket, poured myself a drink and stood in front of the window as I watched the busy city.

I still can't believe that Nora just confessed her feelings to me even though she knows that I like Lisa who by the way am not sure if she has made up her mind on who she wants to be with for life.

I sat down on the couch still facing the busy city. with the glass on my hand and laid my head back as I closed my eyes to think about what happened tonight. I couldn't believe that I let my anger blind me from seeing her and I didn't want to accept what Nora said that day.

Nora and I grew up together and I guess that made her think that I might have felt the same as she did with me and now am not sure whether am really confused about my feelings but I want to be sure either way so I chose to face toby no matter the consequence might be.

After thinking for what felt like hours, I stood up and went to the bathroom to take a bath, as the water ran down my body I closed my eyes and I somehow felt like someone was behind me I turned around to see Nora looking at me.

''Nora!the hell are you doing here?how did you even get in?'' I asked as I was confused by her sudden appearance especially in the bathroom.

''I ...I found your door open so I just came in and besides I thought someone broke in so I came to make sure you were safe''she said as she pointed at the bathroom door.

For starters I didn't expect her to just appear out of nowhere which was uncalled for, I didn't realise that I didn't close the door to begin with as my mind was somewhere else.

"Sorry for barging in, I hope you don't mind if I stay with you for tonight" she said as she looked down at her feet.

To be honest I didn't expect her to come to my room and it didn't feel right to refuse her so I just nodded and she smiled at me and walked out.

After I took a shower, I covered my body with a robe and went to the living room to see what nora was doing.

As I entered the room, I saw her roaming around the room as she held her waist.

"Are you feeling ok?" I asked as I threw the towel I had on the couch.

"I...I.. don't know how to tell you this but I feel like lisa already knows where she's from" she stuttered as she sat next to me.

"What do you mean she already knows?" I asked as I was confused by her words.

"I just had a vision where toby is talking to lisa and he told her everything apart from his plan to avenge for his dad's death" she said.

I wasn't expecting it but I guess it's too late now, though I had hope that I would be the one to talk to her in person even if it had to cause a trouble between us.

"I know you still want to meet with her but you can't risk yourself to have a fight with him now that he is angry with you " she said as she approached me while I was standing near the window.

I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath to calm myself down as I opened I saw lisa's face looking at me.

I felt her hands caressing my face, she leaned forward and I did the same,I couldn't help but to pull her in for a kiss.

As I pulled her closer, I pecked her lips them kissed her slowly and gently as it got more of her kisses.

We continued until I laid her body on the bed without breaking the kiss,as I opened the buttons if her blouse, I kissed her neck and bit her earlobe gently.

I raised my head to look at her only to realise that it wasn't lisa but nora and I had no idea how I ended up thinking that she was lisa.

"No...nora! What are you doing here?ho..how's it possible that it's you and not..."

"Lisa?right?well I figured out how else would I make you understand that your obsession with her will lead you into someone you're not " she said as she sat up and looked at me.

"Did you try to put a spell on me? And what were you going to gain from ...these?" I asked as I pointed at her.

"I just want you to know that lisa will never accept you and you should accept fate however it is" she said as she left the room.

I couldn't believe what she said,no matter what it is I'll do my best to change it.

I followed her to the living room but she had already left. So I made sure the  door was locked before I went to bed.

I laid in bed and I thought about what nora said and that I should accept fate but I don't think am going to because I'll rather fight until the end than quite easily.

I know that am risking it but I don't want to let fate decide what's good for me or not and am sure that lisa hasn't made up her mind yet.

Or I might be wrong as well but either way am going to do whatever it takes to be part of her life even if it will break me in the process.

On one hand I'll be facing my ex best friend who wants to fight me in order to avenge for his dad's death even if it was an intentional attack.

While on the other I'll be fighting for lisa's love knowing that she might chose toby as her mate but I might also have a chance with her since the mating season is in two days.

Who knows what fate has stored for us but I hope that things will work out well for me even if I have to pay the price for it.

I closed my eyes and drifted back to the days I had with toby since we  were kids and close it was a hope and promise to always be best friends forever.

But I guess fate has it's own plan now life has taken a different turn, we both grew up in different places and yet we became the chosen Alphas.

Maybe this will be different from how our ancestors ruled us and maybe lisa will be better now that she knows who she really is.

Now that we've finally met,then maybe fate will do better than before. And all that I want is to have a peaceful life and hopefully I'll be able to change toby's mind as well.

As I thought nora might be right about fate but I'll do whatever it takes to change it no matter how she tries to persuade me.

She's capable of doing anything now I'll have to watch out for lisa. She might do something to her and I don't think it will be an easy thing to do.

Hopefully she doesn't do something that will cause our relationship to break,even though she's my cousin it doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants.

Lisa is her friend but knowing that I like her more she might do more than just have a conversation like civilised people.

As for lisa,only she could be the key to our peace but am afraid toby might also do something to make her change her mind as well...
