Alpha Loren

Chapter 65 Be Nice and Leave Me Alone

November 15th

After that I spent the rest of the evening in the library improving my Latin and Italian.

I read 3 books and had a dictionary beside me to help translate any words I didn't yet know.

At around 7pm Leo came into the room and immediately noticed me sat in an armchair in the corner. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Buona sera straniera," he greeted meaning 'good evening stranger' in English.

"Hi," I replied not taking my eyes off the book as he kneeled down besides me.

"Why do you need a dictionary when you have me?" He asked as I flicked through looking for the

translation of the Latin word 'mythicon'.

"Because you're annoying," I said slapping his hand off my leg.

"I've barely seen you all day," he complained putting his hand back on my leg.

"I'm trying to concentrate!" I declared pushing his hand away one again.

"Yeah, but you've been doing this for ages and I'm bored," he argued reaching his lips up to mine as I

moved my head away from him.

"Then go and amuse yourself... or better still go and find Amber. I'm sure she'd be glad to do the job," I

retorted the spite lingering in the back of my throat showing through.

"You're still mad about that?" he asked and I didn't reply.

My wolf was still hurt so I wasn't exactly going to jump at the chance to forgive him.

"It was weeks ago Ella. It was before I had a mate and meant nothing more than simply full filling a

man's natural impulses to mate," he explained.

"But if we swapped positions in this situation and Amber was in fact Brad or Chad from down the street,

you wouldn't see it like that would you?" I asked.

"You already knew that I have a past," he pointed out his voice deepening.

"And you're allowed to have one, but I'm not am I?" I questioned. "I can't even be touched by another

man."

"I can't help being protective over you. Especially since recent events," Leo explained putting his hand

back on my leg.

"Great, but that's not the point of the conversation," I replied pushing his hand off me for about the 4th

time. "And you can't refuse to tell me about 'recent events' and then expect me to understand."

"Then what is the point of the conversation. It's not like I can go back in time to my when I was 17 and

keep my virginity is it?" He said his temper rising a little.

"I guess you could apologise," I answered still refusing to look at him in the eye.

"I'm sorry," he responded very bluntly.

"At least try to sound like you mean it..." I replied sounding bored.

"Well maybe I don't mean it," he suggested getting to his feet. "I'm the fucking Alpha. I can do whatever

the fuck I want and before you, I could sleep with who I wanted too."

"It almost sounds as if I'm an inconvenience!" I exclaimed, "Don't let me stop you from being a

WHORE."

"You know that is not what I meant, Ella," he said deeply.

"Do I?" I asked, "Sometimes I feel like I don't even know you. You act all nice and gentle and I think

we're getting on well but then a switch in your deranged messed up mind is flicked and suddenly your

face is cold and there's a furious glint in your eye and the next thing I know you're out murdering people

and imprisoning their sons! I don't know what to think, Leo! This relationship is so unstable."

"And who the fuck is making it unstable, huh?" he replied, "Every time we fight it's because you brought

some old shit up just to argue about. I would be happy to get along with you all the time but that is

incredibly difficult when you are doing everything you can to piss me off."

"So maybe Amber is 'old shit'. But what about everything else I hate about you? The murder, the

torture, the suffering...it's all still going on, isn't it?" I said, "I've been telling you right from the start that I

am not going to just shut up and let you ruin people's lives, Leo."

"Well maybe it's time that changed," he said, his face once again cold and harsh.

"Leave me alone," I hissed, "

"Leave you alone?" he asked.

I looked up at him. His eyes were burning into mine.

I hadn't seem him like this for a while. Any progress we'd made since the day we met, certianly wasn't

visible now.

"Yes, "I said, "be nice and leave me alone."

He then turned on his heel and marched out of the library and back downstairs.

About 10 minutes later I heard the front door open and a different voice downstairs. Then the front door

closed and there was a different scent in the house- one that I hadn't smelt in a while.

I put my book to the side and made my way downstairs to investigate.

"What the fuck?" I said under my breath as I saw who it was.

"Hey lil Cuz," he chirped.

What the heck was Leo thinking?
