My Unforgivable Mate novel Chapter 42

I even get so comfortable that I take my blazer and shoes off, I don't know how long I've in here but I even start going round smelling each wine. Anything to keep me from thinking about him.

Unfortunately my small safe space doesn't last long, just as I put a wine bottle back someone barges in and I go to see who it is. I don't even recognize this tall figure in front of me. "What are you doing here?" The intruder asks.

"I got lost." Is the first thing that comes to mind.

"So you stayed put?" He questions.

"Yes?" It sounds more like a question.

"Alpha she's in here!" Those four words make my heart drop to my ass, I'm literally frozen, too bewildered to do anything. Alpha?

Not even a moment passes by and Saint's at the doorframe. My heart has officially left the chat.

He steps in and my first reflex is to take a few steps back. "You can leave." He tells the guy that found me and he does with no questions asked, Saint steps forward and I think he's coming to me so I take a few more steps backwards.

Turns out he wasn't coming to me and he just stops in the middle of the room "Why are you mad at me?" He asks and I swallow down hard.

"I'm not mad." I tell him.

"Stop lying to me." His voice of authority comes back.

"Why should I? You're a master of that yourself." I tell him and his eyebrows frown giving me a confused look "I saw you guys. Kissing." I clarify.

"That's not what it looked like."

"It looked like you had your tongue down her throat Malic! What did it look like to you?" I raise my voice a little.

"Is that why you're mad at me? Because she kissed me?" He steps forward.

"I'm mad at you because you lied to me," I scream and push him taking him back two steps "you're a liar!" I go to push him again but he grabs both my wrists and I start fighting him him off "Get off me!" My voice is stern and I'm no longer shouting but even I can hear how hurt I am.

"Stop it." He take my face into his hands, I reach up to his hands and remove them not wanting to ruin my nicely done face "Nadia!" He snaps at me "Stop fighting me, please."

"I'm not, I just don't want you to ruin my makeup." I tell him and he chuckles lightening the mood a little.

"Is that better?" He puts a hand around my throat and pulls me closer, I nod in response. "We're both harsh on each other that's why it's so hard. I don't want you to give up on me, not now." His voice goes into a soft whisper.

"Is this love?" I whisper turning into a mushy puppy.

"It could be." He sighs and I watch his eyes shift to my lips "Why'd you come here?"

"To be honest I didn't even know where I was going, I took a left and saw some stairs." I clear my throat "How'd you know I was here?" I refer to the party.

"Your alpha cologne," he smiles "I can smell you form a mile away." He goes silent and so do I, his eyes fill with an emotion I've yet to see and then his lips part "You make me happy." He says and I match his words with his expression. "Let's get out of here." He moves away form me and grabs my blazer and shoes.
