Chapter 29: Chapter 29

LAUREN…….

I was shocked to the core when I felt sparks running through my body because of the contact of our skin. Why did I feel like that? What does that mean?

My gaze automatically shifted to Jaxon who was staring at me like he would burn me alive right away. I swallowed hard and averted my eyes from him. I didn't know what made him so angry now. I didn't do anything wrong. He didn't care to look at me the whole time and he had been avoiding me since I came back from my house. What happened now? Why does he care now? He doesn't remember about our relationship, I know. But I think he felt jealous. As he can erase memories but not feelings.

"Jaxon, I'll catch you later. I have something important to talk about with Miss Monroe." My eyes grew wider because of what he just said to Jaxon. Why does he want to talk to me alone? We hardly know each other. And I don't think I have ever offended him.

"Oh, I forgot. Happy birthday, beautiful Lady. May all your wishes come true." Mr. Miller wished Brianna while hugging her and Brianna seemed happy to meet him. Mr. Miller was way too handsome. I have never seen someone so handsome and so perfect. As if God has created him with great effort.

"Let's go, darling." His beautiful voice reached my heart which stroked it slightly making my heart flutter. Saying that he slipped his hand around my waist which sent electricity through my veins. I was hella confused about why I was feeling like this with him. I felt his hand on my lower back as he assisted me somewhere.

My heart was racing inside my ribcage as if it would come out as I walked with him. He took me to a table and we two stood crossed each other against the small tall stand table. And there were wine glasses.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable around me?" Suddenly his words fell on my ears making me look up into his eyes. The marble-grey orbs were making me drown in them. I felt like I was being absorbed by an unknown force with his stare. I was lost for a moment.

"Are you alright, Miss Monroe?" His voice snapped me out of my trance and I felt ashamed as he caught me staring at him weirdly. I don't know what happened to me. Why am I behaving like this? It seems I'm possessed by his charm. Yes. He was breathtakingly handsome. If Jaxon was breathtakingly handsome then I must say Vivian's handsomeness was earth-shattering.

"Yes, I'm absolutely fine. What can happen to me? I was just thinking about something." I tried to be confident at my best level.

Vivian just smiled. And I won't lie, my heart melted at his charming smile. I think I have lost my mind. "What's happened? Why are you smiling to yourself?" I didn't realize that I was smiling until he told me. And I felt heat rushing to my cheeks making them red and getting embarrassed.

"Oh My my! Look at your face! You are looking like a cherry tomato." I palmed my face in extreme embarrassment.

"Princess, you don't have to be so shy in front of me. It's okay." I looked up at him with wide eyes in shock. Because he just called me princess and to my shock, he was standing in my personal space, dangerously close to me. My heart just stopped beating for some moment.

"Easy, my Girl." He patted my cheek lightly. My eyes bulged out of its socket hearing his words.

Then he stood, leaving some decent distance between us. "Umm, can we start talking now?" I spoke up in a low tone.

"What are we doing then? Are we not talking?" I couldn't help but laugh a bit at his words.

"We are. But I mean the important matter you mentioned earlier." I was trying to get straight to the point and just get away from him. Because my heart was going crazy in his presence. So I needed to get away from him as soon as possible.

"Oh, so that means you are feeling bored with me. You didn't like my company." His face fell down. And he was looking so cute that I felt like pulling his cheeks. Goddess! It's a sin. I shouldn't feel about him like this.

There is no chance. It's just a beautiful hoax. Nothing else, it will come and go in a jiffy but in the end, everything will be upside down in my life if I involve myself in some kind of relationship.

"It's nothing like that. I'm just a mere human. I don't want to waste your valuable time. And it won't look good if you spend your time with a lowly creature like me. You should stand with a high-class girl who is in your status." I said honestly.

"Who said you are an ordinary girl?" His voice sounded stern. And I noticed how his eye colour changed. The faster it changed it was gone in a jiffy. But I didn't miss it. And I confirmed what he was just by his eyes. It wasn't hard for me.

"You are extraordinary. So don't call yourself a normal human. And it doesn't matter to me. I know you are curious to know why I arranged a meeting between us." He paused and came close to me. I was supposed to step back but I don't know what held me back and I stood still in my place.

"Because I wanted to meet you to see the strong girl who was a human but bearing a Lycan pup. You know right, it's not that easy to bear a Lycan child. Sometimes they died while giving birth. Don't think I'm scaring you. I'm just telling you the facts only." His voice was so dangerous that a chill ran down my spine in fear and I gulped down the bile in my throat.

Then he leaned more and I closed my eyes in fear. "And I also heard that you have succeeded in taming Jaxon's beast. It's not that easy. Countless girls have lost their lives to him. So I was curious to meet you. But the moment my gaze fell on you, I realized. You are really something. You have something in you which can mess with anyone's heart. You have messed with my heart too."

My eyes popped open upon hearing his words. After whispering he was looking into my eyes now.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked him quickly.

"It's simple. I want you." Saying that he just pecked my lips. It was so fast that I couldn't react and no one around us noticed us. But a particular person witnessed all the things and was right behind Vivian. Whom I never wished to witness such a thing.

"Jaxon!"

And to my surprise, Rhys was behind Jaxon. He also witnessed the kiss that Vivian gave me.

Oh, Goddess!

Why are you doing this to me? Why is everyone behind me? Why do they all want me? I'm not any special
