Chapter 114: Chapter 114

Maive's POV

"Maive."

That word, only one word but my blood boils for so many reasons... I might be very pessimistic right now, however, after what he had done, this is just an understatement of what is really deep inside of me. I felt like going to explode any moment right now.

My heart raced out with nervousness. I don't know how to face him, I don't know what I might do to him... he controlled my life... I thought everything that happened to me was just a coincidence... however, I was wrong, it was all a set up.

Does he ever knew what happened to me and my family? Did he know that my father and my brother was killed by human villagers? Did he know?

Was all of it... his set up?

Thinking about it, seems like I loathe myself for falling into him... Daxton.

I could sense his jaw clenched when he saw me holding pictures of myself. I stood up from the floor despite the fact that my knees are still weak with tears flowing out of my eyes. I almost fell to the floor if he had not held my waist.

I pushed him away in frustration with mixed feelings. I couldn't deal with him, not with everything he had done just for me to be manipulated.

Even with despised and anger, I have to think first, I need space... I have to know everything but not right now that I am aware I'm not on my proper mindset. I have to calm my head because I could feel the burning rage inside of me, especially in my heart... I don't even know what's happening inside myself.

"I-I'm going home," I said, stuttering afraid to even look at him because I might do something I would regret.

However, I caught his eyes, he is filled with fear, sorrow and... pain? No, probably not. I don't know for what reason he would feel pain and sorrow. Probably, he is guilty now that I caught him. I don't know what to think anymore about this man in front of me. I don't know who he really is.

Despite the love I have for him, right now, all that I could feel is anger...

He shook his head, looking like he was really afraid. Is this one of his tricks to manipulate me? I don't know and I would never be manipulated by him again, why of all people he choose to play with me? He choose to play with my heart... setting up my whole damn life that I didn't realized I was already clenching the photos in my hand.

He cleared his throat, "L-let us talk about this first, Maive. I... I can't let you go like this." He sounded like begging, or was this just his act?

My heart is burning even more, my belly is turning insane as my tears kept flowing in disappointment.

I pushed Daxton once more when he tried to take a step closer to me. This time, there was a wide space between us. I needed that.

But my anger remain, especially after hearing what he had said. What's more to talk about? He manipulated my life... it says everything.

From Aunt Vera and Uncle Silas whom I thought had loved me dearly, as their own child but it was just an order... it was all a set up. I don't know who to trust anymore... as if all people in my life has just been fooling me.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Just leave me alone!" I exclaimed. I was more angry than it was. I was betrayed by him. I couldn't put my anger into words, and my heart is yelling... as if inside of me... part of me wanted to come out.

My wolf is not even reacting... I couldn't feel her as if someone or something inside of me is dominating and this is not my wolf. What could it be? Probably my anger but this is more than an anger...

'Let me out.'

Who was that!? I knew I heard it inside my head... it was not my wolf... I am aware of the voice of my wolf... who wanted to come out? Was it my anger? The voice was full of loathe... it wasn't me either... I am still in control of my mental state... or was it just a hallucination?

I was out of my thought for a moment until I saw Saxton taking steps again... trying to close the space between us again, as if he is trying to hug me, I hate him... and I have myself for loving him.

"No, no... Let's talk please." His voice broke, sounded so sincere, yet I couldn't think of anything but to hate him.

I pushed him again, yet he pulled me into a tight hug and he has no plan on letting me go. His hands were trembling when he was trying to caress my hair, probably to calm me down.

"Maive, please... hear me..." he begged. His voice is in pain and I don't know why a part of me was affected hearing those pained voice... as if I wanted to comfort him because this was the only moment that I heard him about to breakdown.

He is fucking good at this. He is good at manipulating people. What did I do to be played by this man?

"You disgust me," I said.

His arms around me weaken upon hearing those words. I took that as an opportunity to push him. Our stares locked for some seconds, his eyes were bloodshot. He looked afraid, vulnerable... pained.

"Don't fucking come near me again." I was angry. I could've said worse things than that.

I left him then, afraid that I might do something worse to Daxton, despite my madness, still a part of me recognize him as the person I love the most. And now, I am doubting myself.

... There's no way I would forgive him.
