I Rejected My Alpha As Mate
Chapter 35

Claudia's

POV

I sat frozen in front of the mirror and tried to empty my mind. Even if not as a slave, life here was not easy. Today I had a hard time sending Toby away and was finally able to enjoy some peace and quiet. Toby was good, he was like a little dancing flame. It's always a pleasure to have someone like that around. But my heart had closed up and I couldn't accept his affection.

Even though more than a year had passed, I still looked at my face in a trance. I rolled up my long silver hair and prepared to take a bath. When I wrapped myself in a bath towel, there was a rapid knock on the door.

I opened the door and saw Isaac's face. Without any hesitation, I slammed the door in his face.

Isaac reacted quickly and grabbed the door frame. "Let me in. Please."

Did he just say" please "to me? I had never heard this word from him. However, there was something wrong with Isaac today. The dangerous aura on his body was restrained a lot. His good-looking eyebrows wrinkled, and his eyes were full of lingering melancholy. I did not intend to compete with him in strength. I let him in. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned around, Isaac hugged me from behind.

"Let me go!" I tried to break away from him.

"Just let me hug you for a while, okay?" His two strong arms locked me in his arms.

I bit his hand hard with my teeth before he let me go. I regretted that I shouldn't have let him in from the beginning.

"Get out." I pointed at the door. How dare he do this to me?

"Don't be so cold to me. You will smile at Toby."

"I am cold to you? Do you remember how you treated me two years ago?" I looked at him. "Let me remind you, you f*ck with Fiona in front of me!" My voice trembled when I said this. I did not know whether I was angry or sad.

During the past two years, I had been telling myself that I had forgotten everything about the past. After the test of life and death, I had trained myself to be an emotionless person, including this time when I came back. I didn't want to have any more entanglement with Isaac, but I didn't expect that after two years, I would still have a breakdown when I saw him. My heart had always been naked in front of him. He could use a dagger to scratch it.

"That was a mistake!" Isaac raised his voice. "I never thought of hurting you. It was all a play."

I didn't want to hear his voice or see him. "Do you think I will still be like how I was two years ago, fooled by you like a fool?"

"Please believe me. Everything I did was to protect you." Isaac held my shoulder and looked at me sincerely. I read his thoughts. He was indeed telling the truth. "I had never liked other women. When I hugged Fiona, I only felt disgusted. But I did all this to deceive other people. I could not let Luna know that I loved you. Otherwise, you would be killed by her."

"Even if what you said was the truth, it could not save me from harm." He said that he loved me, and my breathing stopped for a second. Two years ago, did he love me? I saw the silver ring in his hand. It was a relic that I had given him! I did not expect him to always wear this ring. It was my most precious thing.

"I know. I don't beg for your forgiveness. I just hope you don't leave me again." Isaac hugged my waist and kissed my side face. "I have been looking for you for two years, but there is no trace of you. So when I saw you again, I felt it was the answer to my prayers from the Moon Goddess."

Isaac's deep voice hit my eardrums, and I couldn't push him away. He held me in his arms with both hands, then lowered his head, and our lips got closer and closer. Isaac pushed my teeth away. I retreated because of his fierce attack until he pressed me against the wall. My thoughts were in chaos. I saw Isaac's eyes slowly turn red. His wolf was fighting with him for control. His hand reached into my bathrobe. Enough, it shouldn't be like this. I bit down hard on Isaac's tongue. When he let go of me, his thin lips were stained with a dazzling bright red.

"We are just strangers now. Don't do this again in the future." I warned Isaac. His eyes finally became the golden brown color I was familiar with.

Isaac looked at me with disappointment. I avoided his eyes. Even if no one was wrong at that time. We had loved each other, but that was only the past. Now we had all changed. I knew he was telling the truth, but I would no longer trust him. Our relationship was like a broken porcelain plate. Even if it was repaired, the crack would always be there.

Isaac wiped the blood off his lips with his thumb. "I won't force you."

"Now, leave." I needed to be alone now to deal with the tension he brought me.

After I drove Isaac away, a sense of emptiness instantly surged into my heart. Nicole howled in my mind with dissatisfaction. I didn't know why, but I could also feel Caesar's restlessness. There was always a connection between us. Even after dissolved the relationship, I grabbed my wrist until my nails pierced my skin. Didn't think about him. We had no relationship for a long time.

Isaac's POV

A stranger? I grabbed my hair. How could I treat Claudia as a stranger? Even with this brief contact just now, I could calm down by her side.

I couldn't help but kiss her by her side. It might be too much for her, but I was not satisfied. Caesar wanted to pounce on her just now. I could only lock him back to the depths of my consciousness. Now he could come out.

"You should stay there!" Caesar roared. He was very dissatisfied with my way of handling things about Claudia.

"I hurt her too much. She needs time to recover." I pressed my chest. It was full of anxiety and uneasiness. But now we still had time.
