Not His Type Of Mate
Chapter 53

Nora's

POV

"Is that what you think of me? That I would use such abilities on you?" he asked, and I gulped, shaking my head. "Do you think I would use such powers against you?" he inquired, and I couldn't speak, only shaking my headin response.

He remained silent for a moment before explaining, "I only use that ability when I need to interrogate someone, nothing more." He turned to leave, but I grabbed his wrist, forcing him to face me.

"I didn't mean to accuse you. I was just curious about your other abilities," I pleaded, but the look in his eyes made it clear he didn't believe me. "I'm sorry, Lord Maddison," I added, still holding his gaze. He didn't say a word; instead, he held my gaze briefly, then removed my grip from his wrist and walked away.

"I'm sorry," I pleaded as I watched him walked away. With a frown, I wearily massaged my forehead, wondering what I had done wrong. Maybe I should have asked him in a more respectful manner, and perhaps he wouldn't have become so angry. Throughout the day, I struggled to concentrate on my work as my mind kept wandering between Alpha Leo and Lord Maddison. I totally understoodwhat Alpha Leo had told me, but that didn't justify him rejecting me so abruptly.

I thought about Lord Maddison and imagined how he must be feeling. I shouldn't have approached him in such manner.

Glancing at the time, I realized it was already 7 Pm. With a heavy sigh, I gathered my things and locked up the library.

As I ascended the stairs towards the living room, I met a servant on the stairs. I inquired about Lord Maddison, and she suggested he might be in his room since he hadn't left the mansion.

"You should just go home," Lolita suggested, but I shook my head, turned, and continued climbing the stairs.

I located his room and knocked, but there was no response. "Maybe we should just leave," Lolita suggested again, but I ignored her, knocked again, and waited.

After a minute, the door swung open, and Lord Maddison stood before me, shirtless. With a gulp, I stared at his well-built body and quickly averted my gaze.

"Why are you here?" he asked, and I couldn't replace the words to respond.

"Aren't you scared that I might manipulate you?" he asked, and I spoke up quickly. "I'm so sorry, please hear me out," I pleaded, maintaining eye contact. To my surprise, he left the door and walked in.

I followed him inside but remained near the door. "Keep talking," he demanded, moving towards the minibar and pouring himself a glass of whiskey.

"I didn't think you would use your abilities on me. I was genuinely curious about your other powers, nothing more," I spoke truthfully. He didn't say a word but stood by the window, his back turned to me.

"I understand if you no longer want to help me, but I want you to know that I never suspected you of using your abilities on me," I continued truthfully. He remained silent, and I gulped, staring at him despite the discomfort in my chest. "Can you say something?" I pleaded, but he ignored me completely.

"We should just leave," Lolita suggested again, and this time I agreed with her. Without uttering a word, I exited the room.

With a heavy heart, I descended the stairs and met Alpha Leo walking through the sitting room. Our eyes met, and I quickly looked away.

"Greetings," I greeted, slightly lowering my head.

"Are you heading home?" he asked, and I nodded.

"I can give you a ride," he offered, but I politely declined.

"It wasn't an offer," he spoke firmly, and began walking away. With a frown, I followed him and got into the car while he took the driver's seat and drove off.

The drive was silent until he spoke up. "What can I do to make you forgive me?" he asked, and I didn't respond.

"Nora, I believe I deserve a second chance," he pleaded, but I remained silent, completely ignoring Lolita's words in my head.

"I will do anything to make you forgive me," he expressed those words as a promise, yet I still didn't respond.

The drive continued in awkward silence as I pondered how things could change so much within a few weeks. I recalled about the days I cried, and now he was asking for my forgiveness.

"What are you doing, Nora?" Lolita questioned, but I didn't give a response.

The car came to a halt, and we both got out. I walked to Alpha Leo's side and slightly lowered my head. "Thanks for the ride," I spoke, and he didn't say a word. Instead, he moved closer to me and, without warning, kissed my lips before pulling away.

With stunned eyes, I held his gaze as he flickered a warm smile that made my heart flutter. "Tomorrow is my birthday," he said. "I don't want to celebrate it, but I'd like to take you out to dinner." He pleaded, and I didn't know what to say. "Please don't say no," he pleaded, and I found myself nodding.

"Thanks, I'll come pick you up at 7 p.m.," he said, and I nodded, quickly walking away, ignoring Lolita's joyful howl.

I hurriedly reached the door, opened it, and locked it. I took the stairs to my room, undressed, and took a shower. After bathing, I wrapped a towel around my chest and entered the room, but my heart nearly leaped out of my chest when I found Lord Maddison seated on the bed.

"Why do you act like you've seen a ghost?" he spoke as he stood and made his way toward me. I gulped before speaking. "How did you get in?" I asked, and he scoffed before responding, "I have my keys." He replied, causing me to gulp as he stood before me, his intense gaze meeting mine.

"You told me that you were sorry?" he asked, and I nodded, wondering what he meant. "Well, let's see how sorry you are," he spoke, and without waiting for a response, he slammed his lips onto mine, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me close. I willingly opened my mouth, and he slid his tongue inside, while his other hand moved on my exposed thighs. I felt a wave of unfamiliar sensations envelop me, and I released a soft moan, tangling my fingers in his hair.

I heard him release a soft groan and felt him place kisses on my neck and shoulders as I slowly closed my eyes, moaning for more. He ran his fingers along my exposed thighs and slowly made his way under the towel, causing my body to shiver with pleasure. With a moan, I threw my head backward as I felt his fingers slightly brush against my private area. But, just as he was about to go further, the door opened, forcing my attention towards it to see Alpha Leo standing by the door.

"Mine!" Lolita's voice echoed in my head, and before I could fully comprehend what was happening, Alpha Leo burst into the room and forcibly pulled Lord Madison away from me. "How dare you!" he yelled, delivering a powerful blow on lord Maddison and Surprisingly, Lord Madison chose not to retaliate.

"How could you do this to me? She's my mate, for goodness' sake!" Alpha Leo's voice trembled with anger as he threw another punch at Lord Madison.

With anger filled eyes, he held my gaze, giving me the opportunity to see his eyes clouded with tears. "Why?" he asked. "What can he offer you that I can't?" His hurtful words caused Lolita to whimper in pain. "I've apologized, I've promised to right my wrongs. Can't you give me a chance?" His voice cracked, tears streaming down his cheeks.

With a heavy swallow, he shifted his gaze to Lord Madison, whose expression remained blanked. "I despise you, Madison. I hate both of you for causing me so much pain!" Alpha Leo shouted before storming out of the room.

Consumed by guilt, I held Lord Madison's gaze, noticing a cut on his lip. "Are you alright?" I mustered the courage to ask, attempting to approach him. But he halted my steps with a raised hand. "Don't come any closer," he demanded, leaving my words trapped in my throat.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, his words catching me off guard, and I furrowed my brow in confusion.

"I went too far in all this." He said, but I interrupted, "You are not the only one to be blamed." I spoke, but he shook his head and lowered his gaze to the floor. "Leo is not a bad person and should not be treated this way, you don't know the pain of seeing your mate being touched by another and when that person happens to be your cousin." He mumbled with guilt and lifted his head to hold my gaze and

Without uttering a single word, he turned and quietly left the room, leaving me with tears streaming down my cheeks.

How did things get so complicated?
