Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 15

I turned the light on in the bathroom and stripped myself of my slightly damp clothing and threw them in to the laundry bin. I turned the shower on and jumped in when the water wasn't absolutely freezing.

I still wanted it to be cool, seeing as though I was sweating from that run. Once I had finished washing up, I let the tub fill up and poured my two favorite body washes into the water to create some bubbles.

Just as I sat down to relax the door swung up causing me to scream slightly. My heart rate rose quickly and I was about ready to jump out and fight... but finally realized it was none other than the queen of intrusion, Cipher.

"Jesus girlie, it's just me." She giggled at my frightened state. I gave her a murderous glare.

"You can't just barge in-"

"What fuck is all the screaming about?" Ajax all but spat out as he entered the bathroom. He quickly tensed up at the sight of me completely nude in the bathtub. I sighed heavily, completely embarrassed.

"Apparently, Cipher doesn't know how to knock." I groan letting myself sink deeper into the water. I double check to make sure I was completely covered and not accidentally flashing them. I don't care whom has seen me nakey nakey. I do not want to relive those moments.

"Are you trying to seduce my mate as well? I thought we discussed that I do not like sharing girls with you." He snarled harshly, almost causing me to flinch. Almost. Although, hearing Ajax use the word mate made me cringe. How could he call me that after all he's done to harm me?

Also, I found it slightly interesting and weird that Cipher would ever go after someone who has already been with her brother.

"That was one time, and she came to me. I had no idea she had been with you." Cipher barked back. "I would never stoop so low as too steal your mate, no matter how much she deserves someone better."

My jaw dropped at her words and I wanted nothing more than to drown right here in this tub. I couldn't help be a little frightened for Cipher, even though I knew she could handle herself. Ajax was fuming, and I'm sure all of us knew how temperamental he was.

"Get the fuck out of my home. I don't want to see your pathetic face anymore." His voice was sharp and demanding. Anger and power radiated off of him in waves and I almost felt the need to leave as well. He was using his Alpha tone.

I watched as Cipher kept her chin high. She didn't fear him and I gave her lots of props for that. Lowkey though, she was insane for going up against him like that. Even if he might've had a soft spot for his little sister, he still is Ajax and could snap at any point.

Once I was all rinsed off he turned the water off and out stretched the towel, helping me wrap it around myself. He leaned and tucked in the towel at the top so it wouldn't fall from my body. His lips brushed up against my ears and a small shiver made its way down my spine. "If you try anything foolish, such as running away there will be consequences."

Is that threat? How dare he think that he can threaten me when it was made clear that if I come in harms way because of him, his Alpha title will be revoked. "You can't, because I'll go straight to your father and you will no longer be Alpha."

He let out a dark chuckle that for a moment made me second guess myself. No. There's was no way he could harm me and get away with it. "That'll be pretty hard since you'll have no proof." He began to walk away and exit the bathroom. I followed behind him furious.

"I-If you even come close to harming me I-I'll cut you?" It came out more as a question and I couldn't help but laugh at myself. "That was the lamest thing I've ever said." I laughed even harder and clung to the towel around me. He had a slight smirk on his face and simply watched me lose my breath.

"Seriously though," I say as I return to an upright position and sober up from laughing. "If you even think of harming me, I'll cut your fingers off one by one. Then I'll cut your hands off and if you don't bleed out my the time I'm done with all of that I'll cut your balls off." I kept my face blank and serious, but his smirk only grew. I sent a hard glare his way, how could he be so calm and content with my threat?

"I hope that's a promise, ugly duckling." He winked and left the room without allowing me to answer. Ugh, why must he be so gorgeous? I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.
