Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 15

I turned the light on in the bathroom and stripped myself of my slightly damp clothing and threw them in to the laundry bin. I turned the shower on and jumped in when the water wasn't absolutely freezing.

I still wanted it to be cool, seeing as though I was sweating from that run. Once I had finished washing up, I let the tub fill up and poured my two favorite body washes into the water to create some bubbles.

Just as I sat down to relax the door swung up causing me to scream slightly. My heart rate rose quickly and I was about ready to jump out and fight... but finally realized it was none other than the queen of intrusion, Cipher.

"Jesus girlie, it's just me." She giggled at my frightened state. I gave her a murderous glare.

"You can't just barge in-"

"What fuck is all the screaming about?" Ajax all but spat out as he entered the bathroom. He quickly tensed up at the sight of me completely nude in the bathtub. I sighed heavily, completely embarrassed.

"Apparently, Cipher doesn't know how to knock." I groan letting myself sink deeper into the water. I double check to make sure I was completely covered and not accidentally flashing them. I don't care whom has seen me nakey nakey. I do not want to relive those moments.

"Are you trying to seduce my mate as well? I thought we discussed that I do not like sharing girls with you." He snarled harshly, almost causing me to flinch. Almost. Although, hearing Ajax use the word mate made me cringe. How could he call me that after all he's done to harm me?

Also, I found it slightly interesting and weird that Cipher would ever go after someone who has already been with her brother.

"That was one time, and she came to me. I had no idea she had been with you." Cipher barked back. "I would never stoop so low as too steal your mate, no matter how much she deserves someone better."

My jaw dropped at her words and I wanted nothing more than to drown right here in this tub. I couldn't help be a little frightened for Cipher, even though I knew she could handle herself. Ajax was fuming, and I'm sure all of us knew how temperamental he was.

"Get the fuck out of my home. I don't want to see your pathetic face anymore." His voice was sharp and demanding. Anger and power radiated off of him in waves and I almost felt the need to leave as well. He was using his Alpha tone.

I watched as Cipher kept her chin high. She didn't fear him and I gave her lots of props for that. Lowkey though, she was insane for going up against him like that. Even if he might've had a soft spot for his little sister, he still is Ajax and could snap at any point.
