Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 14

"Octavia!" Cipher called out to me but I ignored her. I was so unbelievably angry and I couldn't figure out why. Why am I so bothered? I shouldn't be. I don't even remotely like him. Why would I care if he pinned one of his sluts against me? I could take on all of them any day. He probably has thousands. Just thinking of all the girls he probably had sex with made me want to vomit.

"Hey," Cipher said softly as she placed her hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"No," I mumbled has my lip began to quiver. No, Octavia you cannot cry. You can't. You are bigger than this. I take in a deep breath, but it was useless.

All I could think of is how much I hate this place and how badly I wanted to be home with my family. I couldn't help but let the tears spill over.

"Shhhh, hey don't cry." Cipher pulled me into a hug and rested her chin on my head. "If it's any consolation, I thought you were a complete fucking badass back there. I'm proud of you for standing up to the both of them. The look on Diana's face was priceless!"

"Cipher, I miss my home." I mumbled. She pulled away a little a gave me a sad smile.

"I know babe, but you gotta be strong. I'm sure you'll see them again one day. Ajax can't be cruel forever. Hell I wish I would've got to you before he did. I would've marked you for myself." She winked at me jokingly causing me to let out a small laugh.

"I thought your type was tall, blonde and badass?" I teased.

"Well you're definitely a badass and we can dye your hair and I will totally be willing to look over the height thing." She said picking up a strand of my hair and pretending to inspect it. I laughed some more.

"There is no way I'm dying my hair."

"Oh come," She smiled and began to lead me back home. "Not even for me?"

"Nope." I smiled shaking my head.

"You're breaking my heart." She fake sniffles and feigned being hurt as she placed a hand over her heart.

"You'll be fine." I giggled. I was so glad to have Cipher by my side. I don't know what I would do without her in this situation. I'd probably have really hairy legs after waking up from that coma...
