Chapter 25

No One’s POV

“No.No!”, She lied.

“Again, with the lies, sweetheart? Let me tell you one thing that we werewolves can smell the feelings and to your bad luck, it includes LIES.”, He said. Grace lowered her head in embarrassment. She brought her hand to the strand of hair that came out and pushed it behind her ear.

“S.sorry.”, She whispered without looking into Zayden’s eyes. He noticed her movement and smiled without saying anything. Since the road was completely empty and far away from town, Zayden was driving the car at an unbelievable speed. He was way too excited to show her the arrangement he had asked his men to do.

He had planned something for her even last time but nothing happened as per his wish. So, he was just praying that nothing goes wrong this time. But suddenly;y, something came to mind.

‘Where is the bracelet that I gave her?’

He thought and looked at her hand which was still pushing the strand behind her ear. He slammed the brake hard, to which Grace would have flown out of the car by breaking the glasses if the seat belt wasn’t there. She looked at him in confusion.

“Wh…”, She was about to ask ‘what happened’, when he cut her midway.

“Where is the bracelet that I gave you?”, He asked. She gasped and looked at him apologetically. He had clearly mentioned that, if she removed the bracelet, the consequences would be terrible. “Where is it?”, He asked again.

She tried to remember where she had kept it last morning. With every second, Zayden’s anger was rising, he was the worst person to witness when he was angry. After a few seconds, she remembered. Zayden was about to say something more when she interrupted him.

“I.I H.have it.”, She said quickly and mentally thanked the stars that she was carrying the same handbag where she had kept that bracelet. It started searching for it in the handbag hastily. In an instant, she found it and took it out to show him. It was now when she saw his face. His eyes were golden and his face was red with anger. He snatched it from her hand and before she felt him take her hand, roughly. A whimper escaped her lips, but he didn’t care.

Zayden held her hand in a tight grip that a bruise would be sure if he maintained the grip. Grace tried to take her hand back, but his hold on her wrist was very firm. She lowered her haze in defeat and wished the earth would swallow her for being so weak.

Zayden pushed the bracelet back on her wrist and raised her chin with his other hand to make her look at him.

“What did I tell you?”, He asked. His voice came very deep and rough because his wolf was at the surface. She could feel the edge in his voice. Her fear was beyond measure now, and she cursed, what the hell she had done in her past life to receive such a fate. “TELL ME?”, He raised his voice.

“Th.that I..I s.shouldn’t remove it.”, She answered. Her tears threatened to escape, but somehow she controlled it.

“Then why did you remove it?”, He asked angrily.

“I..I…”

“YOU WHAT, GRACE? DO YOU THINK I AM STUPID? LISTEN TO ME AND LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY, WHEN I GIVE YOU SOMETHING THEN I EXPECT YOU TO WEAR IT AND NOT TO IGNORE IT. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?”, He roared. The whole car echoed his voice. Grace cringed back in fear, but he didn’t let her.

“Ye.yes”, She said while her whole body was trembling in fear.

“NOW TELL ME A VALID REASON WHY DID YOU REMOVE IT OR BE PREPARED TO SEE THE WORST SIDE OF ME.”, He threatened.

“I…I was afraid that my fa.family would scold me for wearing this expensive gift and I hadn’t told them until then that I was with you. I..I am sorry Zayden. P.Please..don’t hurt me.”, She said not able to control herself from crying. The tears were like waterfalls. Good for her that Zayden’ and his wolf heart ached by seeing her cry. He instantly loosened his grip and his anger lowered a bit. His wolf quickly gave his control to Zayden and hid somewhere in his mind. Both Zayden and his wolf realized how scared she was. Her whole body was shaking and her lips were trembling with fear. Zayden knew he had lost it but he was surprised to observe that his wolf acted in the same way. Even his wolf had lost his self-control.

Another tear escaped when she brought her hand to wipe it. But Zayden held her hand with his other hand and pulled her body toward him. This was the only way he knew to calm someone. He himself bent forward to hug her. Another wiper escaped her mouth and by instinct, she caught his arms for support.

Zayden soothed her back, slowly as to comfort her. He let her cry as much as she wanted, even though he was hating it. Deep down, he was cursing himself for being the reason for her tears. Grace kept crying on his chest.

“P.Please don’t hurt me.”, She repeated again.

Zayden’s heart pinched a little. He took her face in his palms and hushed her. “Shhh! I will never hurt you. I was just….angry. I am sorry. I am sorry for shouting at you. I will try to control my anger. I am sorry again. Please forgive me, sweetheart!”, He said.

Grace wiped her tears and pushed Zayden a bit to maintain some distance between them. She promised to keep her mouth shut and obey Zayden’s every word now. She never knew somebody could be so furious! The cherry on the top, that somebody was not just a human. When Zayden was convinced that Grace was fine, he resumed the drive. The place was very close now. All he was wishing was that everything goes right but little did he know that something was cooking in the author’s mind.
