Alpha's Forced Mate

Chapter 6 Don't act like a fool

Aerilyn's POV

"I don't trust you," I sit stiffly in the passenger seat of Blaze's black Audi R8, the fast sportscar has me uncomfortably close to him.

When a werewolf chooses to drive rather than run on his own, it's clear that he's just decided to go to a human city.

The car is small, and Blaze's tall frame sits the entire car full, his long legs has his knees up on the sides of his steering wheel. His elbow rests on his thigh, and he's so close that all I can smell is his strong scent and it's like I can feel his eyes on me without him looking at me.

His light scoff makes me turn my head and I glare at him, "I'm serious," My arms cross over my chest, and he glances at me, but not at my eyes, no, his steel blue orbs are staring at my breasts.

"Eyes on the road, Blaze!" I yell at him.

His low chuckle has me rolling my eyes, "It's not my fault that you're flaunting them," he winks.

"Are you flirting with me?" I ask baffled, because in no life time would Blaze Sinclair flirt with me, and the worlds is set right when he answers my question.

"I'm flirting with your boobs Air, not you," the disgust on his face makes me feel calmer, or should I be worried that he's attracted to my breasts?

The silence has clearly made him read me like an open book,

"I'm not going to do anything to you, calm your tits." he snorts, speaking as if touching me would be the last thing he'd do.

"I wouldn't even let you if you tried," I shrug, the fact that Blaze doesn't seem attracted to me, the real me, is soothing. He has no expectations, and there's nothing to live up to.

"Where are we going?" I ask, filling the silence that's suffocating me. I'm not used to quiet, Nicky was always babbling, and so was Monty and it's baffling how compatible they are and the worst part is, I've never noticed until I found them shacking up together. I don't know how I could have been so blind, I don't know how I missed this.

I glance at him, staring at his sharp jaw, I watch as his eyes narrow on the road, "Did you know?" the words slip out of my mouth, and I couldn't stop it.

"About?" He asks confused, but he knows what I'm talking about. He's not sly at all, even if his idiotic brain thinks he is.

"You know what, don't act like a fool." I sneer. His silly act only angers me, and I really don't want to pay attention to him but I can't ignore him because he's bound to get his parents to intervene. I force myself to zone back into the car, and I find myself still looking right at him.

Blaze's broad shoulders sink as he adjusts, sighing as he turns his head and looks right at me.

"I didn't know," his eyes say more than what his mouth does, but even if I ask, he won't say anything more.

I don't believe him, Monty is his best friend but he doesn't owe me anything. He doesn't need to lie and spare my feelings, so why would he? Is he lying or did he really not know?

I turn my face forward, glaring at the road as if it's the one who ruined my life.

"Was Monty at your house last week Friday?" My own bitter voice makes me feel sadder than I actually am.

I'm not sad, I'm mad. The rage building inside of me is starting to take control of my entire body, and I gently lower my hands, running them down and up my thighs. The friction makes my legs hotter, but the fiery vibration coursing through me doesn't fade.

"Friday?" Blaze sounds surprised, and it already answers my question.

"Yes, Friday." I grit out, grabbing the front of his leather seats, my nails digging into the material.

"I was at an event with my parents." His honesty means a lot to me, but I won't ever forgive him for all the year's s**t he has given me. He's not a sudden friend, but I'd consider saying that I know him.

I gulp down the lump in my throat, the bitter taste of betrayal dances on my tongue and vile rises.

I honestly thought that Nicky was studying for our last exam the following week, but I should've known that was strange.

"I'm a fu*king i***t," I scoff, irritated with myself when I realized that I said that out loud.

"An i***t? Well I'm sure the valedictorian is the opposite of an idiot." his sarcasm doesn't have any effect on me.

I'm used to his sarcastic remarks, his vile words and name calling, but sitting beside him, watching him drive to Goddess knows where, I feel calm instead of rage, which is what I always felt at the sight of him.

"Look Air, this isn't the time to be morose,",

"Wow," I scoff, smiling slightly, "You know a smart word," I tease, because if I don't, I will cry- and I think that I have cried enough for a lifetime.

"I may not be valedictorian, but I know things." He grins, seeming so proud of himself.

I'm surprised that he knew that word, I always thought that he was laid back and didn't care, I thought he didn't study and didn't care about school, all because he is the Alpha's son, and he doesn't need an education to get where he wants to be.

It's funny how I admire his life, because he just gets handed what he wants, yet I have been working years to escape and now I have nothing left…

I have no way out and no money to do so too.

It all sucks, because if I knew this would happen, then I wouldn't have even done anything. I wouldn't have worked my ass off, and I wouldn't have saved a single penny and I would have bought everything my heart desired. My life has been a waste, and I now have nothing left…

No future, no education, no money, no best friend, no boyfriend and no parents.

How ironic is it that I've worked so hard just to end up with nothing?

"Are you crying?" Blaze snorts, his cold tone making me snap out of my thoughts and I realize my vision is blurry.

"No," I turn my head, looking out of the tinted window and I blink the unshed tears away.

One thing Blaze will not see, is me crying over his best friend.

"Are we almost there?" I don't dare to look at him.

"Yeah, you see those city lights up front?"

I turn my head, looking in front of me to see nothing but darkness when I feel his fingers gripping my jaw and he turns my head and makes me face him, "Don't cry over Monty, because you lost nothing."

He grits out, staring into my eyes intensely and it makes me feel like he's staring into my soul.

I grind my teeth and slap his hand away, "The last thing I am crying about is Monty, so stop acting like you care." I snap.

The last thing I need is Blaze's false affection and I need him to stop acting like he cares.

I don't know what kind of game he's playing, but I want no part of it.

"I am don't care about you, but I can take you where you want to go." He said with a smirk in his tone.

It was then that I looked up and noticed where we had arrived.

He actually brought me to a bar in the human city the day before the graduation ceremony!
