Killing My Alpha Mate
Chapter 104

"Why's she screaming my name?" I muttered, wondering why everyone regarded me as a deaf person.

_She's according to you with the respect you deserve_ Helena made me willingly accept the respect everyone was according to me with. "Your love for nature had driven you to fix the only problem they had.

"I guess... Who wants to see the flowers die?" I smirked.

Riley chimed in

"Hailey, it seems you're done with this job. Your last task is in my room, I hope she told you that aspect of the whole jobs"

"I'll be in your room in five minutes" I sighed, feeling exhausted and hateful that Riley's hatred towards me has overshadowed her sense of reasoning.

"You must be sick upstairs to spit those words from your mouth. I would be in my room waiting for five minutes, you ingrate, now you stick with me. After you idiot" she ordered.

I walked sluggishly on purpose just to steam her anger up to the boiling point.

While we walked the stairs, I stopped, feeling tired and worn out. She pushed me down the stairs. I hit my head hard on a step. It felt so sharp and felt blood gushing out of my head.

I heard Riley's gasp as she called for help. I sensed the fear in the tone she used.

My eyelids closed, I felt very close to death. It felt so unreal to me, and there was absolutely nothing I could do.

I felt someone carried me in his arms, as he began to run my vision went blurry.

My head banged with thoughts,

"Father please help me, I can't die like this, I want to accomplish all those missions" I said to myself, as I fell into a trance.

My eyelids opened, afraid that I had died,

I asked

"Where am I?"

"Welcome to the spirit world... Oh did I say the spirit world, I was only joking. You're in your room. Can't you recognize it?" Ryan mocked me but still felt sorry about it.

_Ryan's the man that saved me... Thanks a lot father. I won't die until I accomplish your wishes_

"The last thing I remembered was someone dragging me off the staircase and I lost balance, hitting my head on the sharp side of the stairs" I explained to him staring down at his questioning eyes. "It's a deep cut but I know you'll recover very soon" He said as he massaged my palms softly.

"How soon?" I asked as I placed my finger on the wound. It was deeper than I thought.

"This isn't a short time recovery, this mark would be on my head for months" I retorted. I hated wounds, especially ones that would last more than a week.

"It seems it's already evening... For how long was I asleep?" I asked to see the moon through the window.

"Come on, you only slept for five hours. It's already way past your bedtime" Ryan retorted.

"You're speaking of bedtime, it's also past your bedtime" I said in an amusing way.

"I don't sleep. I only rest my head and stay engulfed in my thoughts" Ryan said in a serious manner.

"What do you mean?" I was surprised at his words.

"You wouldn't understand even when I tell you" He uttered, wearing a confused look on his face.

"Don't bother telling me" I conceded to his words.

_My head hurts and adding thoughts to think about would be to my detriment_

"Can you walk with me?" Ryan interrupted my introspection.

"Where are we going?" I asked him in haste, remembering how the Gate watchman almost caught me.

"You'll see" He laughed as he raised me up from the bed.

My head felt like it was filled with two tons of columbite.

I rested my right shoulder on his shoulder as he helped me walk outside.

"I'm done with the stairs, I can walk on my own"

"Are you sure you can handle this?" He asked, showing immeasurable care.

"I've handled things greater than this, just let me walk, besides you never said you were helping me walk." I retorted his care, it made me feel like I was his daughter while he was my father. It sounded really awkward to me and I hated it.

We walked into the garden, the moon added to the beauty of the Garden. We sat down on the bench placed in the middle.

"Do you know the reason why I brought you here?" This question sounded rather odd to me. He initiated the idea and now still asks me the main reason for the idea.

"I don't really know. You're the one controlling my movements. You brought me here so you tell me, why are we here?" I asked in a mild tone.

"I noticed you love flowers a lot, you even talk to them like they're your friends so I brought you here to enjoy the presence of this Orchids, the fierceness of the Hibiscus, the beauty of the Red Roses,"

I chimed in shocked,

"You also love flowers and as I can see you know a lot about them. The truth about you is that you try hard to be simple but you're still complex to understand. No one knows what next you're to do but they always know when you're angry, happy and just want to be left alone. Why's that?" These words just rushed out of my mouth, I felt bad when saying it but when I saw the countenance of Ryan I felt happy about it.

"There's nothing I would say other than you won't understand me. The truth is that..."

I couldn't understand what he was saying. He spoke in an entirely different language. I thought of many ways to stop him, it wasn't working at all.

_If I don't stop him now he'll alert the whole house_

I pulled him into my arms and kissed him, his lips felt so soft. It felt so intriguing to continue, but I felt it was getting too intimate.

I stopped him from unlocking my lips, gasping for breath.

"I'm sorry, I got carried away by this whole thing besides that's the only way I could stop you" I said hastily.

"I'm also sorry, It's a migraine. I normally have migraines, it's a bit too awkward, for me to be acting all this up in front of you. I even feel embarrassed about everything." He confessed wearing a lawn face. "Have you discovered the cause of these migraines you're having?" I inquired,

_He's probably afraid of medicines or worst going for a check up_

"I don't really know the cause, but it's said to be indescribable until it's fully grown. It'll stop someday, I'm sure of it" Ryan replied in a very low tone.

He has told me secrets of his life, notwithstanding I'm still a stranger to him_

"It's alright" I patted his shoulders.

"Sometimes I feel like I've been connected to you. Probably The Moon goddess didn't do the right thing by giving us separate mates"

"The Moon goddess did the right thing by giving us separate mates. We're so engrossed with each other, it's a good thing we're apart" I confessed but my thoughts conceded his words.

_Having Ryan as my mate would be the best choice the Moon goddess has ever made. He's the kind of guy any woman would want as a mate._

"I'll walk you back to your room, before going to my room." Ryan obliged.

"Don't worry I'll walk myself back. You can go"

"I insist and besides you wouldn't want me to tell Dimitri of your new status" He smirked.

"Oh now you're blackmailing me."

Ryan chimed in beaming with smiles.

"I'm not blackmailing you. You can't blame a young man for replaceing his ways to help, after the first chance was rejected"

_Dimitri would definitely replace his way to check on me. He may be caught in the process_ I thought to myself, I had to accept his offer.

"Fine but you'll carry me all the way to my bed" I tried to give him reasons to change his mind.

"That wouldn't be a problem, I could even carry you to the farthest place you can ever think of" Ryan affirmed as he stood up, stretching his arms.

"He really has a stubborn nature" I said to myself as I stood up.

He raised me up to his arms, I couldn't help but laugh,

"Tell me when you're ready to go"

"Just go" I chuckled.

I stared into his eyes as he walked, he really cared about me.

I feel so safe whenever he's around me, I wish Jaden would just say the rejection words.

"Jaden's rejection words would be the only solution to this new found connection between us Ryan" I said to myself as I placed my head close to his heart. Listening to his heartbeat was the best type of music I ever listened to. He laid me on the bed,

"Thank you so much Ryan"

"Thank you Hailey" Ryan planted a kiss on my forehead.
