You Kissed My Soul
Chapter 23

Aderyn pov

I could feel myself getting back to my senses but it was hard for me to open my eyes. It was like Icouldn't open them. As if I didn't have any control over my receptors.

Though my eyes were closed, I could still sense and feel what was going around me. I feltsomething wet placed on my forehead and someone touching my cheek. I could feel tingleswherever I was being touched.

I wanted to look at the person but soon myself getting back to slumber and I slipped into darkness.My eyes fluttered open and immediately I felt my eyes squinting adjusting with the light. I wasfeeling good now. I tried to look around but found something wet on my forehead. My foreheadcreased in confusion as I slowly used my hand to reach the thing which was on my forehead.

I touched something wet and when I pulled it of my forehead I found it as a cloth. I groaned andtried to get up but something was stopping me from doing so. I looked towards my right and wasshocked to replace a figure sleeping next to my bed on the chair.

It was no other than Dylan.

Oh my God! What was he doing here?

I noticed his hand tangled with mine right hand as he held it as if his life depended on it. He wassleeping soundly. Though I doubt him to be comfortable on that wooden chair still his featureseemed calm as he held my hand.

His hair was a mess. I notice he was wearing a black slacks with a white shirt. His face was void ofexpression as he was sleeping still he looked little tensed.

I pulled myself up and rested myself against the headboard.

What happened?

I tried to remember what happened and how I reached this bed. I closed my eyes and tried toremember. I was feeling dizzy. I took a bath then I walked out of the bathroom and then I fell on theground.

“That reminds me" I panicked muttering to myself.

"Who changed me?” I questioned to go one in particular as I eyes my dress. I was changed into awhite shirt and white loose pants.

I looked towards Dylan panicked.

“Did he?”

“No he didn't. He wouldn't do that” I spoke to myself.

"You are awake” I heard a husky voice and I looked to my right to replace Dylan already awake lookingat me intently.

“How are you feeling now?” He asked as he got up from his seat and came to me. He sat on theedge of the bed and surprising me he reached his hand to touch my forehead. I shivered due to histouch and the sparks that flew through our body was electrifying.

“Thank God your temperature is down” he spoke softly as he didn't pull his hand off me instead hetrailed it down to my neck placing it there.

“You had a fever. You passed out and fell on the floor senseless” he spoke his words filled withworriedness.

“Thank to the Lords I reached here on time. Why are you so careless? You should've taken care ofyourself” and he was back to scolding.

He trailed his fingers up and placed his rough but big palm against my cheek.

“You got me worried there” he spoke softly now.

His fingers lingered on my cheek for some seconds then he pulled away and I began to miss histouch very disturbingly.

"Who did that to you Aderyn?” He asked out of nowhere. He looked serious now.

"What?" I spoke and found my voice hoarse and I was dying for water.

As if knowing it, Dylan stretched his hand out and gave me a glass of water to drink. I took itgratefully and gulped it down my throat feeling relieved.

I gave the glass back to Dylan as he kept it aside on the night stand and stared back at me.

“Now back to the topic, who did that to you Aderyn?” He asked again and I stared back at himconfused.

“Who did what?" I asked confused.

"Aderyn” he sighed “the doctor changed your clothes and at informed me that you had fever butapart from that she showed me your back which had faint marks like someone whipped you" hetold me and I looked towards the other side.

“I don’t know what you are talking about” I blurted out

He held my chin between his fingers and made me look back at him.

“I just want to know who did that to you Aderyn. Just tell me” he spoke softly.

I pulled away from his touch and looked the other way “I don’t want to talk about this"

"And why is that?” He asked as his tone sounded irritation and frustration.

“I just don't want to speak about it” I told him as I crossed my arms across my chest.

"What is wrong with you? Why are always like this? You could at least tell me what happened toyou" he asked frustrated.

“I don't want to share anything” I blurted out angrily and this time he held my arms angrily whichmade me look at him.

“Fine then I will replace it by myself” he said as he stated deep into my eyes. It was like as if he wasstaring right through me. As if he could see my soul. So intense. I didn’t understand what he wastrying to do. I frowned at him as I tried to wiggle my arms out of his hold, but he only tightened hisgrip on my arms.

"What are you doing?”

“Let go of me” I snapped

“Damn it!" He shouted making me flinch.

"Why can't I read you? Are you not thinking anything?” He asked as he rubbed his palm on his facefrustrated.

“You were trying to read my mind without my permission?” I spoke slowly. Bell did tell me aboutDylan's power but I never expected him to use at me.

“Don’t you understand I don't want to share anything? You need to respect somebody's privacy” Isnapped as I got off from the bed.

“I don't need to hear your lecture” he scoffed crossing his hand across is chest.

"What are you? What would think of me if I try to replace about your past without your permission?” Isnapped

“I respect your privacy Dylan and you need to learn how to respect others too. For God Sake! I wasbeginning to feel guilty for fighting with you let alone argue with you when I found about yourpas-" I stopped mid sentence when I realized what I just blurted out.

He stared at me shocked but soon his face contorted with anger and he took hold of my arms as hepushed me against the wall.

“Who told you about that?” He hissed as he shoved me roughly against the wall.

“Dylan” I tried to calm him down but it was as if like my voice wasn't reaching his ear. He growledand I noticed the change in his eyes. His wolf was trying to surface. The color of his eyes waschanging to coal black and for the first time in my life I felt scared

No matter how strong I was, I couldn't take an Alpha down and that to a King

“Dylan” I called him again.

"Who the fuck gave you the right to know about my past? Who told you about that? Tell me I willkill that person” he growled and my heart beat rose feeling fear for Jenny. I couldn't tell him aboutJenny. I shouldn't have asked Jenny in the first place.

“Tell me” he growled as he held my arms painfully.

“Just because you had a wonderful life, always taking everything lightly, fucking joking arounddoesn’t mean everyone has a good past. Why do you know about life? You know nothing about lifeand pain really is. You just don’t know how it feels when you loose someone who is close to you" hegrowled and I felt my eyes getting watery.

“Dylan I understan-" I tried to say but he interrupted cutting me off “No you don't” he snarled.“Please Liste-" he cut me again “I knew it” he said as he shoved me against the wall and let me go.“I knew it. I shouldn't have kept you here” he gritted his teeth as he rubbed his forehead trying tocalm himself down.

“Dylan” I called tears already flowing down my cheeks.

“You know what I just hate you. Every single thing of yours. Your face, your eyes, everything” he saidand it was like an arrow went through me shattering me to pieces. I felt immense pain listeningthose words from him.

“Dylan please try to understand” I spoke as I tried to touch him but he slapped my hands awayangrily.

"Don’t touch me” he growled enunciating each words.

“I can’t see your face any longer. Pack your stuff and just go away” he hissed and not even lookingat me he walked out of the room closing the door with a loud bang.

“Dylan” I called as I began to slide down against the wall crying and sobbing hard.

I couldn't believe that Dylan could speak such harsh words to me. If it was someone else instead ofhim then I wouldn't have cared so much but the what Dylan told me went right to my heart. I felt sopain.

I got up from the floor and walked out of the room. I walked out of the house and began to walkinside the woods.

Soon I found myself running. I was crying and most importantly I felt anger. I watched as theThunder strikes in the clouds and I knew it was going to be raining soon but I didn't care. It wasdark her I could see everything and I ran trying to get rid of the pain which I felt.

I wasn't angry upon Dylan. Anybody in his place would have reached the same. I would've beenangry if anyone tried to replace out about my past without my permission. It was my memory. It wasmy privacy. I could understand what Dylan must have been feeling right now.

I ran till 1 got myself panting hard and huffing out air. Finally, my legs gave up and I fell on theground feeling devastated. No sooner, It began to rain. I cried and sat in my knees hugging myselfas I cried opening my wounds again.

“You are wrong Dylan” I screamed.

“I do know how it feels to loose someone who is close to you” I shouted as I felt myself gettingdrenched under the rain. My clothes were wet and I knew I must be looking like a mess.

“I do know" I screamed as I cried hugging myself. Dylan has unknowingly wounded my alreadywounded heart more.

The pain was rising more and more.

Memories began to flash through my mind as I remember how my parents died. How I killed mysibling to save the other sibling. How the one died in my arms and I was not able to do anything tosave her. My Nancy. My little sister who died in my arms and I wasn't able to save her. I washelpless.

I had to kill my elder brother Ryan to save her yet I couldn't save any one of them. How helpless Iwas back then. How I tried to kill myself trying to jump off a bridge.

I screamed as I pulled my hair angrily not wanting to remember it.

“You are wrong Dylan. You are so wrong” I screamed as I felt my head spinning again and Icollapsed on the ground still under the rain.

How much I wish to die wanting myself to free from all these pain and sufferings. I am suffering andI don't want to live.
