Mine! - H.N. S (easy books to read in english .txt) 📗

up to his house and down his long driveway that was surrounded by acres of land covered with trees.

“Wow..” I said to myself in owe at this magnificent structure that was just as breath-taking as its occupance! I thought I lived in a big house.. but this was something else! I heard Nick chuckle, but there was no way he could have heard me!

I ignored him and looked back at the house, it was three stories high, Victorian England style with stone bricks, wood window frames and vibrant coloured flowers growing up the right side of the house.

Nick parked up and guided me into the house. The main hall way was huge! And filled with staff setting up for the party tonight. I stopped and admired the art work and sculptures that were being re-located so they wouldn’t get damaged during the party, when Nick yanked my arm, turning my attention to the grand stairs.

I was gasping for air by the time we got to the top floor.

“You’re out of breath!” Nick laughed, but I was too busy catching my breath to care!

“And. You’re. not!!” I said between breaths, to which he just laughed harder! “hay! I don’t like exercising… maybe if I was on what you have- I’m sure I could run up these steps in 10 seconds flat!” I joked, I mean he’s huge and great at every sport… it can’t just be good genetics!

“What I’m on?”

“Yeah.. steroids..?” Nick stopped in his tracks, staring down into my eyes. His eyes were burning with seriousness and yet humour from my words.

“I don’t need steroids! I’m just naturally amazing at everything” His arrogant smile was back. I gave no response, just a snort. How can one person love themselves this much!

“What was that snort for?”

“Nothing… just sometimes you can be a real dick!” His deep voiced laughter echoed down the hall as he proceeded to his room. The halls were painted a cream and the walls were filled with expensive paintings and art masterpieces.

Down the long hall, he opens a set of wooden double doors, revealing his bedroom. It was huge... no surprise there! It was very manly with blue and black coloured walls, a flat screen TV opposite the king size bed. The far wall was mostly glass from floor to roof that leads onto a balcony that overlooks the wilderness of the forest surrounding.

“Would you like something to drink?” Nick asked. I just blink at him. When did he turn into the perfect host?

“no, no thanks” I murmur. My attention now to the Forever 21 bag at the foot of his bed. I walk closer to examine the contents. To my surprise there is a dress and a pair of black heals. Who are these for?

“There for you, for the party tonight.” Nick answered my unspoken question. I lifted the dress from the bag, it was a sleeveless, lace bodice V neckline black dress with a chiffon skirt- It was simple yet so beautiful!

Nick laughed at me with my mouth wide open in awe for this dress. I snap my mouth shut and cough, putting the dress back in its packaging.

“Thanks, but I can’t…” I look down at my scruffy plain t-shirt, black jeans and toms “….Anyway, what’s wrong with what I’ve got on?”

He opens his mouth, then shuts it twice. He was lost for words… as though he cared and didn’t want to offend me… no, it can’t be!

He closes the gap between us and suddenly its hard to breath as the air thickens with this lustful tension. I glance up from knotted fingers to catch his eyes, watching me intently, and I freeze. He leans in closer, his hand gently brushes my arm as he reaches into the bag and for a brief moment my senses are filled with the intoxicating smell of fresh oak and lavender. It was pulling me in!

I snap back as I had unconsciously leaned forward to smell more of his luring aroma. He stands back up with the dress held up against the length of my body. Nick starts to talk but I couldn’t concentrate, my heart was pounding from the intense electric pull between us. I can’t think or act rationally with him so close!

Nick stops and clasps my chin, lifting my eyes up to meet his passionate deep dark blue eyes, grabbing all of my attention. His eyes were not like before, they were black with lust like in the school toilets!

“What are you thinking about?” He asked me tenderly. But what could I reply, I’m thinking of you! I’m thinking of your lips, of how you tasted, of our moment together when our bodies touched!!

“n..n…no…nothing!” I coughed and turned my head from his grasp. My cheeks turning bright red like a tomato, but I was already missing his warmth, the charge I felt from his touch! I shook my head and concentrated!

“so… like I was saying… I think this dress will look really sexy on you, please.. just try it on!” He was talking with caution and actually asking my permission, unlike his usual controlling self.

I gave into his big puppy dog eyes and playfully snatched the dress from his hands and wondered off to the bathroom.

Chapter 7- Keeping Up With Appearances

 

-Nick’s P.O.V-

I wondered around my bedroom, impatiently waiting for Eva. I went out onto the balcony to try and cool down in the evening breeze from the hot intense moment we shared before. She is definitely my mate, I can feel It! And I know she feels it to!

From outside I can still hear her. I can hear her fumble around in the bathroom, worrying about her appearance. But I don’t care what she looks like because whenever I see her, all I see is my beautiful mate!

I stroll back into the room just as the bathroom door clicks and my eyes bestow a vision of magnificence standing before me! The dress was so simple, yet the way it hugged her body and her voluptuous curves made my mouth dry… it was so breath taking! My eyes drifted over her body and then up to her face. Our eyes met once more. I looked into her passionate hazel eyes, locking me in position. Then it hit me, the alluring peach scent, the scent of my mate!

I growled, uncontrollably deep in my throat with lust. –Take her now, make her completely ours!!!- My inner wolf shouts, and I wanted to but I couldn’t mate with her… not yet! I don’t want her to reject me, I don’t want to see her hurt.

I closed the space between us and gently slid my hand into hers. My hands felt so big holding her tiny elegant hand. A jolt of electricity surged through my body just from the smallest touch. Does she know the effect that she has on my body!?!

She gave me a weak smile, and I instinctively mirrored it before tugging on her hand, directing her out of my bedroom and to the party. Now I can introduce her to everyone as mine, and only mine!

We were only half way down the hall when I heard giggling and laughing. Both mine and Eva’s attention shot to their attention. It was Bill, Stephany and Beth. They were popular, but only because no one was tough enough to stand up against them, and they didn’t bother with me and my pack so I usually just ignored them…

“Wow, is that four eyes!” Bill commenced the abuse.

But for some reason I felt scared of being seen with Eva. My popularity persona took over and I uncontrollably and regrettably slipped my hand from hers.

As my hand fell back to my side, time seemed to slow down. I saw the look on Eva’s face, she was hurt and so upset… it broke my heart! What was I doing!?! Why was I so bothered by what people thought of me!

–What are you doing to our mate! She’s upset because of you!!-

I ignored my inner wolf… I already felt guilty and wished I had just kept hold of her hand, but I couldn’t move!

“It is, and look she’s, trying to act pretty! Playing dress up like a four eyed little baby!” Stephany and Beth said in unison whilst flicking their bleach blond extensions and giggling at the decibel that only dogs could hear!

-Why are you just standing there! Stop them!-

“And what are you two doing… alone up here?” Bill’s eye brows raised. I just stayed silent... but could feel the cold air between us as Eva took a step away from me… that was it, Eva hated me!

-Eva’s P.O.V-

We walked down the hall. I feel ecstatic being so close to Nick! I feel comforted and protected being close to his body. Suddenly, three of the most hated people in school invade our moment.  

 “Wow, is that four eyes!” Bill commented. I stepped closer to Nick, closing off all the space between us and squeezing his hand, searching and hoping for his protection against the three people that constantly haunt my dreams! But when I wanted Nick the most, when I needed him, his hand released mine- sending it crashing back my side as I looked up to him in horror and melancholy as my heart broke into two.

 “It is, and look she’s, trying to act pretty! Playing dress up like a four eyed little baby!” They said through giggles… oh how I hated that sound, it sent shivers up my spine! But I didn’t care, I wasn’t listening to them! My concentration was solely on Nick when realisation hits me, he wasn’t doing this to be nice to me… he was only… only joking… I was just another joke to him! I took a step back from Nick once protective body, because all I felt was betrayal! And yet my body felt so cold being away from his… why was I acting this way!? 

Tears burned my eyes as the threatened to spill. But I kept them back, I could let Nick win… I couldn’t let him have the satisfaction of seeing me cry!

“And what are you two doing… alone up here?” Bill joked whilst the girls whispered and gossiped… I needed to get out of here- now!

“you’re right! What am I doing here?” I said through clenched teeth before turning on my heal and heading back for the bedroom. I swooped up all my belongings and forced them into my backpack.

Unfortunately the only exit that I know of was back through the hall. I dreaded every second that passed as I got closer and closer to Nick and so began to almost run. As I passed I couldn’t help but glance back at Nick, foolishly thinking that he’ll reconsider and fight for me back, but all I see is Stephany and Beth on either side of him.

“Don’t worry baby, we’ll make you forget about that stalker freak!” Stephany and Beth tried to say seductively.

I couldn’t hold it back any longer! My chest tightened, tears burned my cheeks as they fell and I choked back a sob.  I feel so stupid, why am I crying! He’s made it clear that I will never be his, that I’m stupid for ever believing I could be!

I ran down the stairs and pushed through
