You Rejected Me. Remember?
In Love With My Best Friend Chapter 40

Aitee

I walked through the front door without any hesitation. Danisha’s parents were frozen in front of the TV, just like I left them after dinner. The TV was on, yet, neither of them moved a muscle.

Chuckling, I entered my room and before I closed the door, I blew in their direction to break the spell I cast on them

After waking up, they looked around. They looked so confused and it was amusing. Nevertheless, I knew that I had to pretend to sleep before she came to check on me. I closed the door, making sure that I didn’t make any sound that would alert them.

With a flick of my wrist, my clothes changed to my pyjamas and I climbed into my bed. I would have cloned myself if Danisha’s parents weren’t lycans. They might be able to sniff out a difference in our scent. It took an awful lot of effort to imitate Danisha’s scent. I didn’t want to repeat the feat, just for the sake of a clone.

To emulate her scent I had to keep her alive for weeks and the whole experience was troublesome. Her parents kept sniffing me, confused about the change in Danisha’s scent, which I managed to brush off telling them that I wasn’t feeling well due to the stress of the final exams.

Finally, after weeks of struggle, I managed to own it and thankfully her family didn’t question me about it anymore.

At first I wanted to finish her off, but I had a better idea. Why should I kill her when I could get rid of her and be benefitted from it? I knew the dragon king would heartily purchase her. Dragons among all the magical creatures were s****l. I knew I would earn a large sum of money and get rid of her at the same time. I would be killing two birds with one stone. The dragon king would be only too happy to add another pretty face to his harem.

The thoughts made me snicker, but Danisha’s mother’s voice interrupted me.

“Oh, it’s past midnight! I guess we fell asleep here!” she exclaimed.

Hugging my pillow, I pretended to sleep. I knew she would check on me before they went to their room.

The door opened and she walked towards me. I heard a sigh of contentment, as she caressed my hair.

“My beautiful daughter,” I heard her whisper. “I love you so much.”

She kissed my forehead and left. When I heard the door close, I waited for some time to make sure that her scent had diffused into the air.

She had left.

I opened my eyes and sat up to look at the closed door. I smirked. They had no idea where their daughter was. The real Danisha most probably was in the dragon palace, pleasuring the dragon king like an obedient little slut.

The dragon king was fascinated to have her. Especially since she was a desirable girl. Yet the problem was, she was rebellious. So I had to use a little charm on her…

*flashback*

It was a triumphant week for me. I had successfully mimicked her scent and the dragon king agreed to check the girl out. If he liked her, he would take her away to his kingdom. If not, he wouldn’t.

Either way, I was going to get rid of her. I no longer needed her in this territory anymore. It would be easier if the dragon takes her away. Then I wouldn’t have to kill her off and clean up the mess afterwards.

I glanced at Danisha who was already chained to the pillar. I had kidnapped her weeks ago and teleported her to an abandoned temple up in the mountains. She was unaware that I had impersonated her and taken her place in her home. It wasn’t easy. I had to learn her likes and dislikes in addition to copying her scent. Since they were lycans, they could sniff the difference in odours.

Anyway, I had succeeded in altering my scent and copying Danisha’s smell and it was a massive success.

Keeping her confined was also hard. She was unruly and had tried to escape several times. At last, I injected her with a vial that would block her lycan. Without her other half, she was more like a weak human and couldn’t destroy the chains I had shackled her with.

She glared at me in anger and I scoffed. She wouldn’t show even an ounce of submission even though she was at my mercy. She surely was a strong-willed lycan.

“What the f**k do you want from me?” instead of screaming and demanding that I let her go, she asked.

“Well, nothing much. I don’t really need you now. I’m done with you,” I told her.

“Then why are you not letting me go?” She asked.

Chuckling, “I think you might be useful to someone else. Someone bigger and stronger than the Lycans,” I told her.

She frowned.

“The dragons?” I told her, and her eyes widened. The dragons were known for their carnal appetite. There was no doubt about what he would do to her if he took her with him.

“What? No! I don’t want to! I am not a slut!”

Her screeches and protests were comical. It made me laugh hysterically.

“Who asked if you wanted to? You are my prisoner and I’ll do whatever I please,” I snickered looking at the white and purple shirt she was wearing.

Her outfit clung onto her body, displaying her curves and I knew the dragon king in his right mind wouldn’t reject such a beautiful and fresh female.

Ignoring her cries, I walked out of my hideout and waited for the dragons to arrive. They didn’t disappoint me. Soon enough, I saw three massive dragons flying in the sky.

They landed on the rocky mountain surface and shifted back to their human forms.

“Well, where is the stock?”

I suppose it wasn’t the king who spoke to me.

“So, are you the leader?” smirking, I faced him.

“No. He is,” he pointed to the buff, male who looked as though he wanted to kill someone.

“The girl is inside and I believe that he only should see her. If he is interested, he can have her, if he doesn’t like her you can take a look,” I offered. “After all, a king’s women should be only for his eyes.”

My words seem to have influenced him. He blinked, though his countenance didn’t change much.

“Fine. Take her to me,” he stated.

His friends waited outside the temple while I led him inside.

He glanced at Danisha who was chained to the pillar. Her face contorted in anger, yet, with wide, alluring eyes and soft pink lips, she looked good.

“Isn’t she a beauty?”

“She is,” he agreed, “she would be a wonderful addition to my harem.”

As soon as he said that Danisha screamed, thrashing against the chains that bound her to the pillar.

The king’s face contorted in disapproval.

“What am I going to do with an untamed female?” he growled.

“Don’t worry, she will be tamed,” I chuckled and picked up the vial I had been saving for this occasion.

Danisha’s eyes widened, but she couldn’t stop me from injecting it into her system. Tears rolled down her cheeks, as she glared at me. The enchanted drug would take a few moments to kick in.

“You won’t get away with this. My parents and Xander will look for me.”

Laughing, “how will they look for you if they don’t miss you?” I replied and snapped my fingers.

My outward appearance changed and her mouth hung open in shock.

“You….”

She trailed off and for a split second, she looked dazed. Her face softened as a soft breath escaped her lips. Blinking in confusion, she looked around. A lopsided smile curled on my lips. The vial must have kicked in.

“Where am I? Who are you?” she asked me.

“I’m Danisha, a friend. You are in my cabin and he is your lover,” I replied, pointing at the dragon king.

She tilted her head and raised an eyebrow.

“Lover?”

“Yes. Don’t you want to be with the love of your life? He will take good care of you,” I smirked at the dragon king who seemed to be impressed by what I had done.

Danisha no longer had any recollection of her past and was believing everything she was told. And the mutt that lived inside her? She most probably would never wake up.

“Who am I?” she frowned.

The dragon king stepped forward and traced her cheek. I watched as he traced his hand over her chest, making her gasp.

“Your name is Nuri and I am your beloved,” he stated.

“My beloved,” she repeated as though she was in a trance.

The dragon glanced at me, satisfied at the outcome.

“My Nuri. Now let’s see what you have.”

I solemnly watched as he tore her clothes off her. A broad grin spread across his face. His eyes darkened with l**t as he stared at her curves.

“Perfect,” he mumbled, as he fondled her breasts.

She m****d, making me chuckle. The girl who was adamant about saving her honour a few hours ago was moaning by just a simple touch.

When he started to r****h her body then and there, I walked out of the place. I believed that I didn’t need to see what they were up to.

“Will she be obedient?” he asked me as soon as he walked out of the temple.

“Of course. I am sure she will obey your every command,” I assured him.

“What if your magic wears off?”

“It won’t unless she meets her true mate and he marks her, which is unlikely in your harem,” I smirked.

“Harem. I’ll keep her in my private quarters. She isn’t like those other girls. This one has fire in her. That’s why I called her Nuri. You were right. I am glad I came here. She is worth every penny and now she is mine. Only mine.”

“Nuri,” I snickered and slumped onto the mattress. “Well, I didn’t kill you, Nuri. Be happy.”

The money I received from the dragon king was used to upgrade the laboratory so that they could make more vials and poisons to use against the Lycans and the wolves.

Sighing, “I better focus on the task I must complete by tomorrow night,” I mumbled. I already knew what I had to do. Xander, Leo, and I were assigned the same duty. Ever since Natasha escaped, they never let anyone be on duty alone. Especially near the palace premises.

The way they reacted to my plans was perfect. I loved every bit of it. I loved watching their confusion and how they tried to solve the mystery of the hidden traitor. There were times Xander shared top secrets with me, thinking that I was his lover.

I chuckled. He was handsome, I agree. But too bad, I wasn’t going to fall for him. My mother had made that mistake once and I wasn’t going to repeat that. He was my enemy. All of them were. Especially the one who fathered me. If I ever replace out who he was, I would surely kill him.

I gritted my teeth, yet hastily controlled my anger. I had to.

I counted up to ten, massaging my forehead as I thought about my task. We would be guarding the northern gate which was perfect.

All I would have to do was put them to sleep and take care of everything before Xander woke up. Then, I would make up an epic story of how Leo escaped.

Hugging my pillow, I squeezed my eyes shut. I had an eventful day ahead and I was looking forward to it.

An hour before our duty started, I marched towards the security room where the control of the CCTV system was located. The three guards on duty seemed to be fully alert. I peeked at them from behind a pillar. It would be harder than the time I tricked Xander on the night I let Natasha out of the confinement.

That was just one time I had taken pity on someone. She may have been Danisha’s friend, but I liked her. Besides, she was envious of Astrea, and perhaps I could use it for my benefit.

I glanced at the pack of sleeping dust in my hand and shook my head. No, I would have to save it in case of an emergency.

My lips parted and then stretched into a broad smile when an excellent idea generated in my mind.

Perfect! I gleefully cheered for myself in silence and snapped my fingers. My appearance changed.

Grinning wide, I walked out of my hiding spot with confidence. There was no way this could fail.

“Leo, what are you doing here? I thought you and Xander were to be stationed at the northern gate.”

The smirk on my face widened. It worked. Now for the real work.
