Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 8

Connor tried to come closer to her but she moved away from him and folded her hands as she looked away from him. "Louve, I can explain..."

That was all he said before she stood up and opened the door for him and said to him, "You can get out now, I'm tired of your mood swings."

He stood up and closed the door as he walked to the chair she was sitting on and knelt down and apologised to her.

"I'm sorry..."

Louve stood up and went back to the bed and he followed her.

"Why did you chase me out of your room earlier? Did I do something wrong or do you no longer want me here because I can leave your territory if you want me too. Honestly, I don't even care much what you want at this point. I'm leaving this territory either way, I'll understand if you change your mind about bringing me back. I am going to go right now and get out of your -"

"No, it's not that, I don't want you to ever leave me. I'm sorry for making you feel bad, I didn't mean to, I swear." He said to her.

"Then, why did you tell me to leave so harshly, you even told May to get me out of your room when you asked me to stay in your room!" Louve angrily said to him.

"Look Louve, I'll be completely honest with you, the thing is that when I came out of the bathroom well... let's just say, that cold shower didn't do its job properly and then when I got to the room, I tried my best to distract myself with drying my hair so didn't look at you. But then all of a sudden, I smelt and it was driving me crazy I just... I just couldn't handle it." Connor explained to her.

"What do you mean it drove you crazy? What the hell are you talking about? What did you smell because I didn't smell anything?" She said while trying to smell herself.

Connor looked frustrated as he stood up and said, "I could smell your arousal, okay? I could feel you looking at me like you want to ravish me... I couldn't stand the fact that you were all hot and bothered because of me but I couldn't even touch you!" Louve was shocked when she heard him, she covered her mouth with her hand.

"Your arousal just drove me insane and I couldn't stand being stuck in that room with you without having my way with you. I was losing control over Clell because we haven't marked you yet. I was losing control over myself because I want you so bad. Especially after the dream I had of us together in my room, in the same bed you were sitting on and then you just clench your thighs and look at me with innocence."

"When your eyes are screaming at me to make sweet love to you, they just beg me to f*** you senseless, and Louve you are doing it again! I can't believe you are doing this to me again... I... I gotta go, I'll talk to you when you feel better, bye!"

That was all Connor said before he closed the door to my room looking beyond sexually frustrated with his eyes looking at me with lust as they changed between gold and black leaving me all hot and bothered again.

It took her two hours to calm Harou down and cool my raging hormones after Connor left her in her room all hot and bothered. He should have at least cooled us down with that sexy body of his.

"Like seriously what is the use of having such a body if he won't even put it to good use?" Harou said to her mind.

"Shut up Harou, you making images come to my head, you are not helping." Louve said to her wolf.

Things have been awkward between Conner and Louve for the whole day, he avoided her like a plague during that time she met with Dolf who is now fully recovered and back to work.

By 8 o'clock in the evening Louve was tired of Connor's behaviour toward her and she wouldn't lie, she did feel a little bit proud of herself for putting such a strong Alpha in that state. It just boosted herself confidence not that it needed much of a boost. She decided to leave her room and go to her mate's office. She knocked and a deep voice replied with a come in before she opened the door and entered his office.

The first thing she did in his office was look around for any girl that he may be hiding out of habit.

My mate was sitting in his big chair as he watched me look around his office.

"What are you looking for?" He asked as she slowly took a seat opposite to him.

"I apologise for our earlier encounters I didn't mean to... you know what I mean." Louve said as she blushed thinking about his words when he said he wants me along with his mention of a dream more like a wet dream.

She looked up at him and saw him looking at her, so she continued and said, "Look Connor... sorry I mean Alpha. I came here to talk to you so we can talk about and the reason you brought me here so I can go back. I am not comfortable staring here, I'm sure your Luna would not like my presence here. So say whatever you want to say, so I can leave this place before I bump into Luna whatever her name is."

Connor stood up from his chair and knelt down before me, he took my hands in his and kissed them before he said, "Look Louve, firstly I don't want you to refer to me as 'Alpha', I would prefer if you called me by my first name unless you want to refer to me by any pet name like babe or love?" He said as he kissed my left hand.

"Secondly, I don't have any other Luna aside from you, so I don't see how you would not like your own presence." He said as he kissed her right hand.

"Thirdly, you are not going anywhere out of my territory, I won't allow you to leave me again, even if I have to tie you to my bed. So, I want you to please tell me whatever it is that I can do to make you feel more comfortable and I promise I will do it as long as you stay with me." He said as he kissed my ring finger.

"Is that what you brought me here for? You told me that you want me to come back, so we can talk when you actually brought me here, so I can be your prisoner? How could you!" Louve said as she stood up ready to leave his office.

"Wait!" Connor said as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to the chair and trapped her. "Please don't do this to me; I don't think I can survive without you. Please give me a chance to explain, even if you don't forgive me I won't mind as long as I know that you are nearby, I can replace a way to cope with you hating me. I don't know why, but as much as I felt butterflies in my stomach." He said.

Louve got angry so she did what any other girl would do when they were angry and she punched the Alpha King of all werewolves square in the face and she swear, she could hear a cracking sound in the air. "What was that for?" He asked as he clenched his nose.

"That was to make me think that maybe you actually realised your mistakes and you now want me back or you want to accept my rejection and set me free. When all you want is for me to stay here in the background, while you enjoy your life with the bimbo you call your Luna. Well, I've got bad news for you and that is that I will not stay here and watch another woman, take what's mine. So you either let me go now or I swear to the moon goddess you won't like what I will do to you and Luna, whatever the bimbos name is." She said as angrily walked out of his office.

"Wow! What a woman? Did she really punch you? And what a punch that was... we got our hands full with that one." Clell said to his mind.

"Shut up Clell, you and I both know that she punched me, so don't rub it in." Connor said to his wolf.

"As you know, she didn't use her wolf strength when she punched you, I could tell that." Clell said. "I said shut up!"

"Ohh and just so you know your nose is broken and bleeding." Clell said to him.

"I thought I told you to shut up!"

"Hey! Don't get mad at me, it's not my fault that you messed with my mate."

"She's my mate too, idiot." Connor said.

"I know, but that's not how you treated her two weeks ago."

"I know and I'm trying to make up for it so shut up and help me look for her." Connor said.

After literally having an argument in his head with Clell, he quickly left her office and followed her scent only to replace her having a panic attack in the path that led to the north border of my territory which meant that she was leaving my territory.

It pains me to see my mate crying to the point of having a panic attack because of me and so I rushed to her and carried her back to the pack house as I tried to calm her down.

"Why do we keep making mates cry?" Clell asked him angrily.

"I'm sorry Clell, it's always my fault. I swear I'll try to make it up to her. I slowly placed her on my bed and tucked her in." Connor said to his wolf.

After tucking her in, Connor placed some bed sheets and pillows on the floor next to the side of the bed that she is sleeping in just like she did yesterday.

He couldn't sleep not because he was sleeping on the floor, but because he couldn't get rid of the guilt that was eating him up inside for treating his mate less than the Queen that she is. With that thought in his head, he fell asleep. "Connor... No, no... Aaahhhh..."

Those are words that woke Connor up at the middle of the night, he quickly looked around the room ready to attack only to see that his mate was having a nightmare again. His heart broke as he realised that he was the one responsible for giving her nightmares. Visit Job ni b .co m to read the complete chapters for free." Louve... Louve, my Queen please wake up, it's just a dream." He said as he tapped her arm.

She opened her eyes and screamed as she pushed him away from her just like she did yesterday.

"Are you okay?" Connor asked her.

"I'm okay? That's what you are asking me, how I can be okay when my supposed mate is terrorising me in my dreams, every freaking night!" She screamed as her hands went to the top of her head as she pulled at her hair out of anguish and frustration. Connor could feel how broken he had left her. His hands were aching to wipe away the river of salty water that ran from her eyes. His arms were longing to have her wrapped around them as he consoled her and apologies for being a sorry excuse of a mate. Connor couldn't look her in the eyes as he looked down to the floor in a shameful manner.

"I'm sorry."

He said before the room went into a very tense moment of silence. Louve exhaled as she sat back on the bed.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you, I'm just not in the right mood to talk at the moment."

That's all she said, as she went back to the floor near her and thought of ways to make it up to her.

He could feel her looking at him so he said, "It's not your fault that you snapped it's fine, so you shouldn't apologise for it, I take full responsibility for it."

Moments passed before she asked, "Why you sleep on the floor?"

"I don't want to be far away from you in case you realise that I don't deserve a mate as beautiful and strong as you, and you decided to leave me with my shattered heart which I would understand to some level. I don't sleep on the bed because I don't want to make you uncomfortable. I can't sleep on the couch because I want to watch over you for I still can't believe that you are real and all mine... that's of course, if you want to be." He answered her honestly.

"You can sleep on the bed if you want. I don't mind."

Connor heard her sweet voice.

"It's okay, I wouldn't want to cause any more of your... uhmm, nightmares." He said with a small smile.

"You won't cause more of my nightmares. Whether I like it or not, you are still my mate and having you near me calms me down. Regardless of our haunting past, I just want you to hold me, so I feel safe and comfortable enough to fall asleep knowing that you will protect me, that way I won't have nightmares. You will protect me, right?"

"Hurry up and go hold mate!" Clell said to his mind.

"I'll protect you with all my strength." He replied to her.

He watched her as she opened the comforter and made space for him on the bed.

"Are you really sure?" he asked her.

As she responded, she pulled him down on the bed. He quietly laid down on his back as she lay on top of my chest with her arms on me and he swore to the moon goddess, he never heard his heartbeat so fast, he just hoped it didn't keep her up. "Hold her you idiot, don't just lay there! She will think you don't want her." Clell said to his mind.

That's when he realised that Louve was pulling away from him looking deflated.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad, and I just can't believe that you are in my arms. Please don't move away, I like having you in my arms." He told her as he lay her back down on his chest and pulled her close.

She cuddled him as she drifted off to sleep while he kissed her head and wished her a good night.

"We should sleep like this every night." Clell said to his mind.

"I totally agree with you on that one, I'll see if I can ask her tomorrow but I know I don't deserve it so I won't raise my hopes up."

That was all it took for him to be transported into a world of dreams, where his mate wasn't scared of him or hated him.
