CHAPTER 65: 65: ANGER

Sue

I stared up at him defiantly, liking the way my spit clung to his cheek.

"Really now? How petulant." Damon calmed out in the background, but I was too angry to give him a response, and too angry to glance away from Landon’s face. I was breathing very hard because of how enraged I feel right now. How dare he tell me those ridiculous words and expect me to just sit still and nod my head or something??

What irked me even more and rubbed me the wrong way, was that Landon didn’t look angry yet. Even after I spat on him, he still had a collected and relaxed expression on right now, like he still had the upper hand here, and I didn’t like that. I want to ruffle his feathers a little and try to make him feel like he doesn’t have the upper hand in this situation.

In the next moment, he was wiping away the spit on his cheek, and I didn’t know what to expect, but what I didn’t see coming was him shoving the two fingers he just used to wipe the spit, right into my mouth.

I gasped in shock and utter outrage as I stared up at him, and his eyes were hard and punishing, a sharp constant to his usual playfulness. He thrust his fingers in deep and refused to pull them out despite me struggling to spit his fingers out, because this felt insulting as hell, and only the heavens knows just where these fingers have been. They were salty and tasted just like skin, but I doubted that they were clean enough to be in my mouth right now. However, that didn’t stop the feeling of molten heat from settling heavily in my chest and stomach almost at the same time.

"Swallow. It’s your spit after all." He crooned in a low, mocking voice when the spit in my mouth had gotten to the point of leaking out of one side of my mouth.

Instead of doing that, I held his gaze and bit his fingers hard.

He didn’t react, his lazy expression didn’t break, and I bird even harder till I tasted a little blood, but he didn’t react, his brows only arched as he stared at me.

"You done now?" He asked, sounding casual and bored out of his mind, and I finally loosened my hold around his fingers, and as he pulled the fingers out, I let out a scoff as I stared at the bitten raw fingers before meeting his gaze, refusing to feel even a little guilty.

"You’re quite feral, hm?" He drawled as he regarded his fighters and I got the urge to scream from frustration as I stared at him right now, still trapped against this wall by his impossibly hard body.

"I only did that because you won’t let me go, and you always like to put your hands on me when it’s unnecessary!" I hurled at him while he scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"And I remember that we once had this conversation, yes? I’ll put my hands on you whenever I want." He pointed out and I scoffed again.

"Bastard." I gritted out, desperately wanting to tell him that in a few days I’ll be leaving with my new mate, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to test the waters so soon again.

Regardless, Landon still leaned close till there was barely any gap between us as he spoke, his breath hitting my face.

"One of these days, you’ll get on my nerves so much that I’ll publish you till the point of you being unable to sit properly for a week." After he said those words, my face twisted in horror as soon as I understood what he meant, but before I could respond, he was pulling away from me and I was brrdthuhf a lungful of air while glaring daggers at him, and at the fake time, trying to will my cheeks from growing hotter under their combined gazes right now.

"Now, why don’t you run along? I’m certain you’re very edger to do that right now." Angelo drawled this time, his arms folded as he arched a brow in my direction.

I want to ask him to go fuck himsdkf, to tell him that I won’t be going anywhere, but I ended up doing ths complete opposite: I fled without looking back.m

I didn’t want to return back to the hall where the wedding is technically still going on cause I could hear music coming from it, but now, I couldn’t even attempt to escape anymore cause now I’ve been noticed by everyone after those new set of triplets turned out to be my mates.

It was still extremely surprising to me that they were triplets and were also princes.

Was this some kind of coincidence from the moon goddess herself?

I was walking around in the garden when I caught sight of Hugo on a call, and as soon az he noticed me, he flashed me a grin and sauntered over after ending the call, then he was kissing my hand on getting to me, and I was instantly feeling giddy at once.

"I see the princes aren’t here right now, which means there’s no one to yap about me not being allowed to see you." He drawled and I rolled my eyes, irritation and anger surging within me at the thought of the princes.

"How are you?" I asked and he shrugged, his handsome face looked even more handsome in this warm sun.

"As best as I can get. And you? I just heard the news that you found another set of mates and somehow they’re also triplets?" He stated and I frowned, feeling confused over the fact that he heard so quickly, then I reminded myself everyone at that wedding was aware, so it’s quite normal for him to have already heard.

I shrugged my shoulders a little as I responded. "Honestly, I don’t know. It’s as shocking to me as well." I muttered as I ran my fingers through my hair while letting out a long sigh.

"Does this mean I don’t stand a chance with you anymore," he asked, shocking me as I blinked at him. My expression made him chuckle as he slowly shook his head, a wry look on his face as he continued.

"You know... I quite like you. I actually like you a whole lot." He revealed, shocking me further and my eyes widened as I stared at him. Honestly, I had a feeling he liked me a little since the moment we danced, cause that was exactly how I felt. However, I never could have guessed that it was to this point.

"Oh." I ended up whispering as I stared at him.

"And I used to think that I didn’t stand much chance with the princes, you know? Since you’re under their roof and all. However, after I heard that they were choosing to marry their betrothed brides, I thought I stood a chance and was prepared to do anything. But now that you’ve already gotten a new set of mates, tell me honestly..." he trailed off and took a step closer to me before continuing. "Do you think I still stand a chance?"

I struggled for what to say as I stared at him right now, with nothing coming to mind. He sounded very sincere right now, snc mg chest was aching so much right now. I’ve never confessed to In my entire life, so this feels like something that came down from heaven for me. As I stared up at Hugo and breathed in his warm scent, it was hard for me to believe this was the perfect gentleman that the Princes initially asked me to stay away from.

"I-" I hesitated first before continuing. "If you can get me out of this palace, you’d definitely stand a stronger chance." I offered.

His eyes lit up and he stepped even closer to me as he spoke.

"If I can do that, you’ll give me a chance to woo you?" He asked and I nodded without hesitation.

"Definitely." I responded and his eyes lit up as his gaze trailed over my body for a bit, then he let out an exhale as he nodded.

"I can definitely have it arranged. I have a way, so you don’t have to worry." He offered and I nodded, already looking forward to the prospect of being a free bird after so long.

"Okay."

"But you’ll have to stay with me in my home." He offered and I tensed up, cause that wasn’t what I had in mind at all.

"Huh?"

"That’s the best I’ll be able to do with the Princes being so possessive and territorial over you." He explained and I frowned as I folded my arms.

That wasn’t what I had in mind when I told him I’d give him a chance if he could set me free.
