Anger and sadness shine in his ocean blue eyes as he looks at her.
She presses Adonis closer to her, tightening her hold on him. She couldn't bare to continue looking at Adryan's face, because that look, that made her feel extremely guilty for keeping his son away from him for too long.
"Is the baby mine?" He asks after few moments of silence.
"No" she lies.
"Do not lie to me Jade. I can smell both of our scents mixed with the baby" he speaks, moving closer. His body now pressed against hers but careful not to crush the sleeping child she held in her arms.
His face moves closer to hers, his lips nearing hers but he tilts his head to the side last minute so that his lips were aligned with her ear.
"Do you take me for a fool Jade?" He whispers into her ear causing her to breath come out in uneven patterns as her body shuddered with tingles.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" He asks her, now he had moved back, so that he was still close to her but enough so that he could stare at Adonis' sleeping frame.
"It's a boy" she looks as Adryan stared back at her, she could see happiness swimming in his eyes, but his eyes turn hard after a few moments.
"Why?" His voice hard but there was something else laced within them, a tinge of sadness seeping through his words.
Sadness hits her as well but it vanishes as soon as it came, because in the end it was his own actions that drove her away in the first place.
"You know I had to, Do not act like you don't know anything. Don't you know Adryan? It was because of you. It was your hot and cold attitude to us being mates that drove me away in the first place." She says boldly, staring straight into his pair of hypnotizing ocean eyes.
She could see how her words had managed to anger him, as his breathing pattern changed visibly, his ocean eyes turning darker as he stared back at her. He was fighting for control, as his fists tightened.
"What's his name"? He asks her, after he had successfully gained back his control.
She stares at him, thinking in her head whether she should let him enjoy getting to know his sons name after what he had done to her.
"Adonis. Adonis Romano." She says after a few second. Her words shocked him that much she could see from his facial expression that portrayed shock which he didn't try to hide from her. Shocking.
He looked at her with happiness in his eyes, mixed with shock.
"You gave him my last name." His voice a mere whisper.
"Yes. I did. I'm not selfish enough to it give him your last name." She answers back his question.
"Thankyou" even though it was a mere whisper, she had managed to hear his words. It shocked her because he had never heard him say thankyou to anyone before, for the whole six months she stayed at his pack.
She just nods her head at him in acknowledgement.
"We need to go back" he speaks after a few moments, his words capture her attention. Her eyes harden as she glares at him the next moment.
"No" she says.
"No?" He repeats her words, one of his
dark eyebrows raised in question.
"Yes, a NO, Adryan. I'm not coming with you. The only person that is going to be leaving this apartment and go back is you. Not me." She looks at him, square in his eyes.
