Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 48

"You just don't see a silver wolf that often is all." Siren says diverting her eyes somewhere else. Did she know something? I obviously knew Siren very well and she could never look you in the eyes and lie. Her eyes would roam all around the room as the lie push past her lips.

"Silver..." Ajax whispered out. I look up at him. His eyes were focused on the far wall.

"Maybe it was just a dream and it's all a coincidence." I sit up as best as I could with my mates arms locked around me. His stare never broke as I turned in his lap to face him.

"Ajax," I whisper, my hand falling on his cheek as my thumb caressed his cheek bone. It felt so right, so natural. The sparks caused a tingling sensation in my hand that traveled all the way up my arm.

The mate bond has been growing and it won't be long before we cant resist each other. It'll be hard for us to be apart and yet, we barely know each other.

His eyes break away from the wall and meet mine. His usually cold blue orbs were now soft and warm as they met mine. I wanted to smile at the warmth of them but I resisted. His large hand came up to mine as he pulled it away and towards his lips. He kisses the tips of my fingers before placing another in the palm of my hand.

His actions shocked me and I could feel the heat spreading through my cheeks. I'm sure they were a bright red and I wanted nothing more than to hide my face.

A smirk rose upon his lips and it only made my blush more intense. He was enjoying my embarrassment and the way I flustered under his touch.

"My father kept a record, a large book, of every wolf he encountered and what they looked like in both human and wolf form." Ajax said calmly. Although I could hear the hostility in his voice trying to break through.

"Oh, I didn't know Alexander was so... neat." I couldn't imagine Alexander being the type to note everything down, especially the appearance of everyone he has encountered. That just sounds like someone with extreme paranoia.

"It's not Alexander's..." Ajax trails off. He dropped my hand and I could see the warmth in his eyes fading. But he said the book belonged to his father...

Is Alexander not Ajax's father?

"Aj-" I begin to say but I'm cut off by his stern look and sharp eyes.

"Not now, Octavia."

I shut my mouth and keep my burning question to myself. Who is Ajax's father? Is this why he's so cruel to his family? His Christina his birth mother? Are Ajax and Cipher fully related?
