Chapter 66
I was set thing with anger, and I hated myself for it. I shouldn’t care about that girl, but I did, and it made me furious. It made skin crawl, the fact that I couldn’t ignore her even if I wanted to. The fact that occupied all my thoughts, morning. afternoon and night. She lived rent-free in my freaking head and she didn’t even know the power she wielded, I didn’t know whether to be glad about it or not. One thing I did know was that she got under my skin.
Everything that pertained to her had a way of evoking excessive feelings from within me. I was either really furious, or worried or curious, all feelings that I had no idea that I was capable of feeling until I met this woman. She was slowly driving me insane and I knew it but there was nothing I could do and that was the most frustrating part. The fact that I knew what was wrong but had no idea what to do about it was insane..
I didn’t see her drowning before I went to save her, what is said back at the beach was a lie but I did felt a strange pressure in my chest, urging me to step out of the car which I did as fast as I could.
When I did, I saw Mara laughing, I looked past her to what she was laughing at only to see Kira fighting for her life out in the ocean. I felt so agitated in that moment that I didn’t stop to think about a thing. She was the only thing I could think about in that moment, not the fact that I didn’t have a good reason to want to save her or the fact that Mara was laughing at a drowning person or the fact that I couldn’t swim either.

I just dived inside the water without any thoughts whatsoever with only one missie in mind and it was to save Kira.
I had never been a fan of the water but I could always do whatever i Wis
that I set my mind to and with my wolf thumping inside me and trying to claw out through my chest, I didn’t exactly have the time to think about consequences or whatnot.
Mara was still smiling to herself when I hurried over but her expression quickly changed to worry as she saw me hurry past her to the ocean and I still didn’t know what to make of it.
As I thought back to that moment, my anger grew. I knew Mara had never liked Kira, but wanting her to drown made no sense. She was never like that or at least that was not the way I saw her. Mara was a sweet girl that wanted a lot of attention, not a killer. Her denial made me wonder if I really saw what I saw or I was just imagining things due to what Brax had said when he accused of trying to kill Mara the first time.
Every one was pointing an accusing finger towards her and she seemed like the victim but I was not so sure that she was the victim anymore. They had to be mad at her for a reason and what I saw was definitely not far from it. Smiling at a drowning person? It was just out of it. It was nothing to speak of. I couldn’t defend it even if I wanted to, what would I say? That she found her movements funny? Or that the woman that I wanted to make my wife, that I wanted to rule beside me in this pack enjoyed watching people drown. It was too much to wrap my head around and it angered my wolf immensely, and I couldn’t understand why.
My wolf had taken a liking to Kira, and I had felt genuine fear and worry for her as 1 pulled her from the water. That’s why I was angry now. I hadn’t felt that way for anyone in over a decade. I didn’t welcome the feeling but there was no way to get rid of it either.
Just when my head was about to explode from the dilemma, Mara walked into my room, a sly smile on her face. “Aston, my love,” she said, trying to climb into my lap.
I stared at her in utter confusion wondering if the sweet little girl that I was looking at the was the same person that I saw at the beach earlier. I just didn’t get it. How was she so two sided? I didn’t what?!
She was wearing one of the lingerie that she got with my money and put on a whole show to flaunt. She looks really beautiful in it, her a** hung out in the s***st way ever and her ***ts popped up from the string bra. She had a banging body, that was for sure but for some strange reason, I didn’t feel like pinning her down on my bed the way that I used to.
I remember how h***y I used to become when I saw her in anything revealing but that now that she was almost naked and trying to sleep with me, all I could think about ways Kira. Why the hell was I thinking about Kira when I was with the woman that I chose as my mate?
Today was so hectic.” She said softly slipping beside me on the bed. “I was hoping we could spend some quality time
together. What do you may want to help you relax” She slurred flipping her hair over her shoulders and dangling her boobs in my face. 1 didn’t need to act uninterested, I was actually uninterested. The only thing I was curious about was what I saw at the beach. I needed miswers.
I held up a hand, my expression stern as she tried to slip off my shirt.
“Mara, did you send Kita that message? Did you want her to drown?” I asked, my voice firm.
Mara’s expression turned shocked, her eyes wide with dental. “No. Aston! How could you even think that? I would never hurt anyone!” she exclaimed and her exaggerated answers were making it hard for me to believe her,
−1 saw you smiling as I went to save her, Mara. You were laughing, and it didn’t look like you were worried about Kira at all,” I pointed out, my eyes narrowing.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Mara’s face turned red, her eyes welling up with tears. “I wasn’t smiling, Aston! I was worried sick about Kiral You’re always so quick to believe the worst about me, but I’m innocent! I’m being abused falsely!” she cried.
I watched her tears, my expression unyielding. I didn’t feel any sympathy for her, only irritation. For a moment, I thought that this woman wasn’t the one I once believed could rule by my side. She was manipulative and cruel, and I was tired of it
“Mara, stop crying,” I said, my voice firm. “I’m not buying it. You’re going to have to do better than that if you want me to
believe you
Mara’s tears stopped instantly, her expression turning cold. “Fine, Aston. If you don’t believe me, then maybe I’ll just have to prove it to you.
Haised an eyebrow, my eyes wary. I didn’t like the sound of that, but I knew I had to keep a close eye on her. She was up to something, and I was going to find out what it was.
“I don’t know how to prove it to you but I really need you to put this behind us. We can’t let a maid come between us. We have to put her behind us for good and move on to other things. She whispered and took off her lingerie with one tug at a string.
Her breasts came into full view and I wasn’t even moved one bit, that shocked me more than it worried me. She trailed her hands down my chest and tried to slip it inside by pants but I wasn’t up for it at all.
As I looked at her, I realized that I didn’t feel anything for her. No love, no affection, just irritation and anger. And in that moment, I knew that I had made a mistake. This woman wasn’t the one for me, and I was done playing games s with her.
“Mara, get out.” I said, my voice cold. “I don’t want 1 to see your face again until you can tell me the truth.”
Mara’s expression turned angry, but she knew better than to cross me. She stormed out of the room, leaving me to my thoughts. And as I sat there, I knew that I had to make a change. couldn’t keep living like this, with a woman who didn’t care about me or anyone else. I needed someone who was genuine, someone who cared or at least someone who didn’t get joy from watching others drown.
