Anna closed her eyes, waiting for the impact of the slap.
But it never came.
She opened her eyes and saw that he had withdrawn.
She took a step back.
He turned around, and began to pace the room.
He rubbed his forehead to ease his tension.
"What were you thinking?" He asked her finally after a few seconds of deliberation.
"What the hell were you thinking pulling a stunt like that?"
She swallowed.
"I told you I was going to decide and get back to you." He said.
"You were slow to make a decision so I made one for you instead." Anna said stubbornly.
Erik raked his hands through his head. "For your fucking information. I have nothing to do with Jasmine. That stunt you pulled had effects on.....
He was about to say Fiona when he quickly stopped himself.
He had already learned how vindictive Anna was, he did not want to risk her knowing that he and Anna were involved.
Who knew what she would do?
After all just by her merely believing that he and Jasmine had a relationship together, she had threatened him.
He was not scared of her.
But he was scared of what she could do.
"Effects on what? Or on who?" Anna asked her eye brows piquing with interest.
"No one." Erik answered covering his tracks.
"I don’t want to be with you." Erik said.
"But you are my mate. Do you think that is coincidence?" Anna asked.
"I don’t care if it is or not." Erik said. "I will reject you. And you will tell Xaden you decided to reject me because you wanted to save yourself the stress of dealing with me. Because you are not ready."
"I have never had a mate." Anna said. "I am not throwing that away because you are too much of a coward to see me."
Erik sighed annoyed. "That is none of my business."
"Because you already had a mate and that didn’t end well, doesn’t mean I should suffer for whatever happened in your past." Anna said rudely.
That stopped Erik right there and then.
He could hardly believe the words she had used.
How dare she.
How did she even know?
He must have looked surprised, because she shrugged and said.
"I asked questions."
He bit his bottom lip.
Bringing back the memories of his late wife and mate had been a line she had made the mistake of crossing.
"Scenario number two. What if you succeed making me your mate? Being bonded to me. Do you think that I would ever ever love you? After everything you have done?" freēwebnovel.com
