The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: A Heated Situation

Meredith.

"You are calling me a waste of time?" I asked, completely stunned with my mouth agape.

I don’t know why this came as a surprise to me. But seriously, this was Draven. He had always been rude to me.

Maybe, I shouldn’t have forgotten that after a few poundings.

"I didn’t exactly say that." His nose scrunched up.

"Oh... You sure meant that," I hissed. He turned and started walking away, probably not in the mood to get into any arguments with me.

But I was. Still, I didn’t follow him. My pride was bruised.

"I thought your attitude towards me would change after you slept with me a few times," I yelled.

Instantly, he stopped walking and turned back around to stare at me, his brows lifting.

"What was that?" he asked. He looked pretty much annoyed.

I guess I was new to this wolf thing to realize that werewolves had a good hearing. And I had just shouted on top of my voice which meant that though the pool are was empty with just me and Draven, that could be others around who could have heard me.

Heat crept up my cheeks, but I refused to back down no matter how embarrassed I was.

I remembered Valmora’s orders and straightened my back, even puffing out my chest through the big towel wrapped around me from over my shoulders.

"Do you treat all women you sleep with so cruelly?" I questioned, my voice lower now. "I thought your attitude towards me would change."

Draven narrowed his eyes on me. He remained standing on the same spot.

"Are you mad because I didn’t agree to teaching you combat skills, so, you are mentioning the sex?"

I froze briefly before the sound of my blood pumping followed in my ears.

I gritted my teeth. I couldn’t believe he just used the raw word without any form of delay or care of our environment.

"Don’t try to twist my words and my message," my voice was lower once again. And I decided to keep it that way because there was a psychopath standing right in front of me.

And he had less shame than I did.

Draven took two steps forward and stopped. His gaze darkened. "If the message you were trying to pass has to do with us being together, then I got it."

Draven turned on his heels. And this time around, he didn’t look back. So I was forced to follow him.

He was mad at me. And believe me when I say I regretted mentioning a out bedroom activities.

My desperation got ahead of me, especially with Valmora’s constant reminder itching at the back of my mind.

"I will be good," I said behind Draven’s back as I struggled to keep up. I was almost out of breath. "I promise to be serious... more serious than with the swimming lessons."

Draven didn’t say a word to me. He also didn’t stop walking.

We were both bare feet, and he only stopped when a help escaped my lips after I stepped on a small stone.

I lifted my right foot off the small pebble and tried to examine under my foot. And that was when he walked back to me.

He glanced at my feet and then shifted his gaze back to my face. "If you want me to teach you, then you’ve got to sign an agreement."

"An agreement?" I furrowed my brows, clearly surprised and confused at the same time.

"Mmmm," he mumbled with his eyes still on my face. "Teaching you combat will be on my own terms. But the first rule will be if you comfortably pass your swimming lessons."

Draven has agreed to teach me?

I almost couldn’t believe my ears and the sight before my very eyes.

"There will be a test a day after our lessons end," Draven continued, his low voice drawing my attention back to him. "If you don’t drown, I will go ahead to draw up the schedule for your combat lessons."

Levi stayed under the shower, letting the cold water splatter on his black hair and run down his shoulders, onto his back.
