Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Kael’s jealousy.

Kael.

After everyone left, I didn’t. I lied to my brothers and Chalice that I wanted to drive around town for a while to clear my head, when in truth, I simply drove over to Leilani’s house.

But I couldn’t bring myself to step out of my car.

I couldn’t bring myself to knock on her door either.

My heart raced in anticipation and the hand clutching my wheel turned chalk white as I glared at her front door. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t bring myself to move.

I needed to see her. I needed to talk to her.

But I lacked the courage.

Sighing, I inserted my key into the ignition and was just about to drive off when her front door suddenly opened and my breath hitched when she stepped out in a comfortable-looking pair of grey shorts and black tank top. Her hair was styled into a ponytail, and every trace of make up she had on earlier had been wiped clean.

But that didn’t make her look less beautiful. If anything, she appeared better... ethereal. Demure.

And I wanted to devour her.

Gosh, baby tiger. Take a break!

Naturally, I should’ve driven off. I should’ve not stared at her for too long. I should’ve not watched the way she carried the garbage bag to the trashcan outside. I should’ve not looked when her hips swiveled generously as she moved.

I should leave. I should leave.

"Leilani!"

The words escaped my lips before I could stop it, and at the sound of my voice, she froze and turned in my direction. However, as soon as her eyes landed on mine, her face darkened. And just like that, gone was the peaceful atmosphere that once surrounded her like a veil.

Does she hate me that much?

’If I were her, I’d hate you that much too.’ Zephyr, my wolf, murmured in my head but I ignored him, my attention solely focused on Leilani.

She took a step back, threw out the garbage and began to take fast strides into the house. But I was faster.

I do not remember when I stepped out of my car or when I began to rush after her, just that my hand clamped around her wrist, causing her to spin around to pin me with a glare.

She growled; "What the hell are you doing here?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, my mind went blank. I struggled and failed to find the right words. My stuttering made Leilani cock her eyebrows at me, tilting her head to the side as she mumbled;

"Cat got your tongue?"

No. No cat did that. But I wanted my tongue shoved down her throat.

Jesus gracious, when did I become this nutcase?

I sighed. "No. No. I just wanted to talk."

She stared at me for a moment in disbelief, and then she shrugged her arm free to fold them across her chest whilst tapping her feet on the ground impatiently. She spat; "You can start talking now. I have a guest and you’re wasting my time."

I blanched. Like quite literally.

Against my better judgement, my eyes trailed down her body, noting how sexy her clothes were, and how they hugged her curves quite flatteringly.

Her long legs were on full display, and goddess, they looked way more creamier than the Fettucine Alfredo I had this morning.

My throat suddenly felt dry and I gulped. "I wanted us to talk somewhere more... private." I drawled, glancing around us pointedly in a way that should’ve made her realize I wanted us to go into her house.

Leilani glanced around too and shrugged. "Here’s just fine. We should talk here."

"Why can’t we go in?" I snapped, unable to hide my irritation anymore, and at that, she stopped, glared straight at me and smirked.

"No."

Success!
