The Female Alpha You Can't Tame

Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Caged

"I saw a new side of him for the first time in my life. When you left, he acted like it didn’t faze him but his shield grew weaker day by day. We watched his frustration turn to anger. His anger turns to pain and his pain turn to fear." Ragon says looking up the sky.

"Is that so?" I question him acting like I wasn’t interested. But I am. It pleases me I affect Deimos. That he is capable of missing me. Of missing us.

"Yes, Luna. I just wanted you to know. I need you to understand him." Ragon says softly as I look away from him.

Wanting to end this conversation I tell him quickly. "Right, okay. I shall leave now. I haven’t slept a wink." I hug myself in response to the night’s cold breeze. With one final smile of farewell to Ragon, I continue on my path to Deimos’s castle.

As I open the large door of his castle, I inhale its scent as my eyes wander across the halls, up the stairs, and to the chandelier. The castle is dark. Darker than I remember. As if it has lost all its light and warmth only embracing coldness. Just like how it was when I first arrived here. But why?

Climbing up the stairs, sliding my fingertips softly up the railing I feel nostalgic. I don’t quite understand my feelings yet. They are often at war.

As I open the door to my room, I smell my male before I see him. My eyes find his loose white linen shirt slowly swaying in the wind and the strands of his hair move softly upon his head. He is slouched upon the terrace railing looking farther into the pack lands. He seems to be deep in thought.

Walking slowly towards him taking soft steps I stand beside him. "What are you doing here Deimos?" I ask him curiously.

"I am here to wish you goodnight." He says still looking towards the land.

"You could have done that before. You didn’t have to come to my room. You are disrupting my privacy." I tell him folding my hands across my chest.

"Do you not want me in your room, mate?" He asks me looking deep into my eyes.

"No." I tell him.

"You lie." He replies quickly. He is confident of himself and of us.

"I speak my truth, Deimos." My voice is strong and serious as I look away.

"Remember what I told you once before, mate? I can see beneath your shield. You want me here. You are happy I am here." He says taking a step towards me.

"Stop." My voice falters as I take a step backward.

"You want me by your side." He takes another step.

"Stop it." I move back as my heartbeat increases.

"You missed me terribly. You wanted to see me." He tells me unhesitant. Tears spring to my eyes. How can he see everything that I am yet I cannot see who he is? I hate this! I hate how he has the power to see through me.

"I said stop, Deimos." My lips wobble as I am backed up against the terrace wall as Deimos cages me within his arms.

"Tell me the truth, mate. I can see it but I want to hear it. I want to see the words roll off your lips." He says bringing his face close to mine as he watches my lips.

"Enough Deimos. Stop this." My voice grows louder as tears stream down my face. My cheeks flushed in frustration.

"Tell me! Tell me you want us. Tell me you want this, mate." His tone is fierce and dominant yet filled with insecurity as he pushes me deeper into the corner.

I push him away from me as hard as I can as he stumbles behind and looks at me surprised. He runs a hand through his hair frustrated.

"I don’t want to do this! Don’t you understand? I don’t want to be alone anymore. You have caged me here, Deimos!" I scream, my chest heaving due to my loud sobs as I gasp for breath. Deimos pulls me by my arm and brings me to his chest.

"Then I will gladly come inside the cage with you, mate. There will be no wolf but us. Just you and me. I’ll build you a castle in the cage. I can learn how to become a good mate. Now the question is will you let me?" I close my eyes as the sound of his heartbeat slowly transforms into the moon’s song.
