Chapter 16: Burning Hatred

So warm, so calm, so soft… Why the hell was she saying that?

Lona, I'm trying to sleep here.

So warm…

Wait, why are we still alive? I wanted to die.

Are you seriously wanting us dead? Kale saved us!

War.

Open your eyes and behold wonder… She giggled.

I rolled my eyes mentally. I sighed and forced my eyes open, not that I can see a thing. I blinked in shock… Yup! Kale healed you.

It wouldn't have made any difference, I would have healed anyways. I tried to turn but someone was holding me in place.

I was wondering who was touching my waist? I looked at the person's hand, muscular. Trailing my eyes up the hand to the face, my cheeks turned red.

It was Kale holding me tightly. He was asleep too and looked a mess but still breathtaking.

Wonder!… Lona chirped.

Shhh… I sibilated.

I hitched myself up closer, making myself more comfortable so I could still see his face. My eyes stayed on his face, a smile on my face. I daintily reached up for his face and held his chin.

He whimpered and sighed, my touch must have made him more comfortable.

I rubbed my thumb on his specially made sculpted jaw, my mouth opened as the weird sensation flowed through me. My stomach was flipping simultaneously with my heart.

So weird.

So perfect…

Let's agree that my mind is corrupt.

I haven't even started yet, just look at the way his veins pops, the way his chest rise and fall. Isn't he the most lovely? Feel his shoulders.

I did as she said, driving my hand down to hold his shoulder, it felt so right in my hand.

His shoulder was just the right amount of strength, which could make a girl feel safe. I giggled and did the other thing, running my finger along the veins of his neck.

The heat from his body merged with mine perfectly, just too perfect. His pale cream skin was paler like he was sick but not sick.

Is he alright? Why is he even holding me?

Why are you enjoying it?

Can you not always counter my words?

Will you always agree with me?

Oh, dear.

Hey! Look at his face! Have you seen his lips?!… She chirped.

I was tempted to look at his face; his scarlet hair with those weird highlights sprawled on his face. In a way, the hair framed his face, making him look cuter.

My eyes moved down to his lips, it was wet and looked like he smeared on some red lipstick. I moved my hand back to his face, brushed my thumb on it to check for lipstick. It was clean. I continued rubbing his lips with my thumb, his very soft lips.

A soft sound emanated from his chest. I giggled again, I loved the sound. Wanting to hear it again, I entwined our legs, pushed myself up and slowly lowered my lips on his jaw. He made the sound again.

I shuddered, the feeling was odd but desirable. I kissed his chin again, he made the same reaction. I kissed his jawline slowly, running my hand into his shirt. I kissed the bottom of his lip, which caused a soft purr.

'So strange,' I muttered. I averted my eyes to his… I gasped when I saw his amber, gold, amethyst and hunter green eyes were looking at me.

My neck felt hot, am I blushing?

''Good morning,' he greeted with a hoarse voice.

The butterflies in my stomach increased. 'Didn't your mother teach you not to seduce a sleeping man?'

And that question brought my senses back, reminded me that the monster holding me was the same one who killed my mother.

''I don't know, maybe you should find her dead body and ask her,' the smirk on his face disappeared.

''Let go of me,' I growled. He didn't let go.

" Let go of me Kale,' I snapped. He smirked.

'Why are you smirking? Why aren't you letting me go?'

'I love it when you call my name, it sounds better coming out of your mouth.

How do you feel when I call yours?

" Does it make you shudder?

" Does it make you hot inside?

" Does it make your imagination go wild?

" Does it make you wonder why your stomach flips? Tell me Vanessa how do you feel?'

I took in a sharp breath.

''What are you doing to me? Why are you making me feel strange?'

''Why?' He asked innocently.

''Are you wondering why?' His hand was exploring somewhere he shouldn't. I looked down at his hand that was trailing up between my thighs, going higher and dangerously deeper.

''Kale, stop touching me,' I breathe.

He chuckled but didn't stop swiping his hand between my thighs.

'I killed your mother, right? Which one of that filth was your mother?'

" How dare you insult mother,' I snapped.

" That same filth raised me to care and love your kind.

" Do you think that if I didn't respect your people, I would have let them hurt me so much? No.

" Don't you dare insult my mother or I'll break my vow by killing you?''

" I snarled into his face, not clothing my rage one bit. He stared at me like I was two years old making a threat.

''You are so cute when you get mad, makes my desire to ram you stronger. If you don't want that to happen, then it would be wise you keep your hate speech to yourself.' He pushed me off him, the force landing me on the floor in a thud.

I whimpered as pain coursed through my body from my side where I landed.

" 'I'm pretty sure I will keep hating you for the rest of my life,' I groaned.

''Too bad. Your king killed my family, we both have a reason to hate each other.'

''And a reason to wish you were dead or better me!? I thundered.

" My mother never killed a wolf, never even ate or let me do the same thing.

" If I knew saving one of your kind would cost me her life and my freedom, I would have let them face what they were captured for…'

" I was the cause, I killed my tribe out of generosity", had I known, I would have killed that fucking bitch myself when our warriors captured her"…

" I wad too dumb, to allow my emotions control me. I guess I would keep on hating myself for the rest of my life…..

He snarled at me.

''Snarl all you want,' I snapped.

''You can do me a so and kill me too, being dead is better than being alive and seeing your face!'

He flinched, wincing at my words.

Say more, he needs to feel pain too. I thought.

''The main reason I let your evil demons hurt me was because I wanted to die, I wanted death to take me away from you, them and this miserable existence I call life.

" Anything I'll face on the other side would be better than being here and seeing all of you move freely after watching my entire family die.

That mate of yours was lucky she didn't serve me my mother's flesh, I would have buried a knife into her skull that very moment and brought your entire empire to the ground along with all the wolves inside

I hate you, I hate your kind, and I hate my life!'…..
