Leon’s POV
I was getting angry every moment I saw Liam talking to Aileen.
But why? That was my question. I slept with enough girls; they all had the same things and enjoyed with me physically, but I behaved possessively towards Aileen. She was two years older than me, but do I care?
I have a question about the sparks I felt when I touched her.
Why doesn’t she enjoy my presence? She talked, laughed, and cracked jokes with Liam, who met just a few hours ago.
I have known her for many years, but she always wants to fight with me. I will seek out this matter today itself. I ignored them, but Aileen didn’t know I was looking at her from afar until the right moment came to catch her between my arms. When I saw her walking alone to her dad’s office, I felt it was time. I hid behind a tree like a fox to catch the chickens and pulled her into my arms while she passed me. The sparks, it happened again. I am sure that there is something between her and me.
She knew that it was me; they could smell us. I tightly shut her mouth from my palm to avoid her screaming. She was surprised and muffled.
“Shhhh, it’s me, Leon. Don’t struggle, Aileen” I caged her in my arms and pushed he to the giant Oak tree. No one could see us there, and the garden lights were perfectly dimmed. She was beautiful when the light shades fell onto her face. She signed me to remove my palm.
“Oh, sorry,” I quickly removed it.
“What the f*ck are you doing? Are you doing a cat and mouse game in this dark?” she said with a questioning look. A loose strand was disturbing to face, and my hands were aching to tuck it behind her ear so no one could disturb us. Though she was a wolf, she was shorter than me. I felt proud of my height. I gently tucked the hair partition behind her ear, and she hit my arm before I took my hand.
“Don’t touch me with your dirty hands. Move and let me go,” she threatened me.
“Oh, really, Aileen? You were like a kitten when Liam touched your hair; what about me?” I pushed my body more towards her. She wore a tank top with a mid-thigh pair of cotton shorts revealing half of her creamy thighs. Our faces were inches away, and she looked at me with shock.
“Leon, mind your business and….”
“It is my business, Aileen, and that’s why I looked at you daily. You were so good with Liam; what’s wrong with me? You met him a few hours ago, and we met years ago, yet you ignored me and treated me like s**t. Why is that, Aileen? Tell me, why is that?” without my knowledge, my voice raised.
“Shhh, keep quiet. We all are wolves; we have sharp hearing. Everyone will hear you,” she gritted her teeth and said.
“Then you better answer me,” I said with a lower but firm voice. She should know today who Leon Ramirez is.
“Leon, you are creating drama here. Let me go; Dad must be waiting for me, and why the hell are you bothered about me and Liam? You have enough girls to sleep with who are crazy for you. I am older than you, so behave,” she pointed her index finger at me.
“Why do I bother? I bother because of this, Aileen” I touched her bare stomach, revealed by her tank top, and then gently squeezed her belly button area, which she gasped. The sparks were much more robust and started to come as waves in my body. Her eyes widened, her lips shivered, and her chest was heaving up and down, making my throat go dry. I pinned her hands above her head and pushed myself more to her body. 90% of our bodies were touched, and Aileen was frozen in her place.
I turned my head slightly, slowly buried my face into her collarbone, and smelled her. She was intoxicating. My breath tickled against her bare skin on the neck, and soon her body was covered with goosebumps.
“L…eon….d..ont,” she whispered. She was not fighting against me or pushing me away. A victory smile appeared on my face at about that point.
“Tell me, Aileen, do you feel the sparks? Do you feel strong waves passing against our bodies?” I brushed my nose on her collarbone, and she quivered.
“I….ummm….no….” she was shivering, and I brought my face closer to hers and rubbed my cheeks against hers. I know that my cheekbones are ticklish because of the light mustache.
“How about now? Don’t lie to me, Aileen; if you are not feeling anything, tell me why I feel these sparks when I touch you. You are not the first girl I touched; I didn’t do anything physically with you. Tell me, Aileen; I can’t stop asking this question myself” She shut her eyes, and I released her hands and pulled her to my chest more by holding her from her waist. She kept her palms on my chest, and she was still shaking.
“L…eon, le…t me go….I c…ant hold your touch on my body” She barely managed her words.
“Am I that much disgusting, Aileen? Why? Why can’t you behave with me like you do with Liam?” I caressed her blushed cheeks with my fingertips.
“Liam and you are different, Leon,” she whispered again.
“Repeat my name Aileen” I demanded. I am confused about what has happened to me today. I was behaving like a possessive boyfriend to her.
“Stop this, Leon,” she looked away and said.
“I won’t stop this, and I don’t care about who and who will see us here; I want answers to my question Aileen. Don’t test my patience; if you f*cking look away again, I will kiss you, and don’t tell you that I didn’t warn you,” I gritted my teeth and warned her. Within a blink, she looked at me, and our gaze met.
Kiss her? Did I ever think about it? I wanted her to be a beautiful flower blooming in my garden. I want her to safely pluck into my hands without harming her petals.
“You are so beautiful Aileen; did anyone tell you that before? Did any boy or a male wolf ever been to you, Aileen? According to my knowledge, you never had an affair with anyone. I appreciate you, now, don’t be angry with me and clarify my questions,” I gently whispered to her with a smirk.
“I will answer, just for god’s sake, move a few inches away” I had to do it; if I didn’t, it would piss her off, and she won’t give the answers I wanted; she would kick me and leave the place.
“Good girl. Here I move two inches” I showed my arms in surrender mode and walked back.
“Then listen, You are my mate! My destined mate paired by the moon goddess” I couldn’t understand how I expressed my feelings on her declaration.
“See, I knew it. That’s why the sparks were feeling then, isn’t it?” I was excited. I never thought that I would be a mate to a wolf. Noah says it was amazing and too beautiful to be a mate to a female wolf.
“Yes, everything you feel about me, Leon was correct. It was not a coincidence; I feel it is ten times more powerful than how you feel about me. My wolf was getting restless when we saw you touching other females. We don’t like to smell the female scent on you other than ours.”
“How about my scent now? What do you smell now?” I asked.
“You smell like me now because you were too much closer to me and your touch and getting too much closer to me made my wolf go insane. That’s the nature of the wolves. They are so possessive about their mates. F*ck, why the hell am I telling you all these things?” she started to curse herself by pulling her hair.
“Hey, hey, you don’t have to be nervous. Just explain to me about this new bond, this new relationship. Why didn’t you tell me about this before, Aileen? Why did you hide it from me? Who else knows about this?” I was throwing the one-by-one question at her.
“Leon, just forget about it. Just forget what I said to you, and please go now. I have to go and meet my dad” Aileen was about to go, and I stopped her by pulling her by holding her forearm.
“Did he know about this? Tell me, Aileen. I have the right to know about this” I clenched my jaw, my nostrils flared, and I was huffing and puffing air. She looked at me; then her gaze moved to the arm I held on her forearm.
“No one knows about this, and dare if you utter a word about this to anyone. I will handle this and….” She paused, and her jaw moved anxiously. She looked away.
“And what, Aileen?” I asked. I feared her pause, and the silence before the storm was not good.
“I don’t want a playboy as my mate!” she rudely said, pulling her arm.
