The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Arielyn

“Arielyn, please come back home,”

I couldn’t believe his audacity, how could he show up at my house uninvited and expect me to follow him?

“Get out of my house, I don’t want to see you near me, I am not going back with you anywhere, I already told you that day, that I am done with whatever contract we had, there is nothing in it for me so why should I still keep living with you?”

I fired at him, I wanted to add; “Especially when you have another woman in your house,” But I didn’t say it.

“I am not here because of the contract, it doesn’t matter anyway,”

“That’s good then, move your car away from my gate, I need to get into my house,”

I warned him as I backed away and opened my car door to get it, he was faster than me because he stopped me from getting into my car, our bodies touched and I had to fight the stupid feeling that built up inside me at the contact.

“Why are you harassing me? Do you want me to call the cops on you?”

I let out.

“I am sorry but I can’t let you leave without listening to me,”

“Do you even listen to yourself? You know what? Take the car, I don’t even need it, bye,”

I turned and walked away from my car, I walked to my gate and knocked hard, the security opened the small gate and I was almost in when the madman came running to me. He blocked me from entering.

“What is wrong with you? Why are you harassing me?”

I yelled at him again.

“I just want to talk to you,”

“And I don’t want to listen to what you have to say, Kendrix, I am done with you and don’t have the will or the patience to listen to anything that you have to say, what’s not clicking?”

I fired at him and pushed myself past him into the house, he followed behind me, and I turned around and pushed him.

“Go away, Kendrix, Frank, do something about him,”

I told my security man who stared at both of us in confusion, I am sure he knew who Kendrix was, everyone knows him now as the future king of O-when, I am sure that’s why he wasn’t doing anything.

“Ariel please,”

He pleaded but I wasn’t ready to listen to him.

“No, I already told you, I don’t know how you found my house and why you thought it was okay for you to come here but I am telling you right now that you are intruding and I don’t care if you are the future king, I will get you arrested,”

I warned him even though I would never really arrest him, I continued my walk toward the main house and he kept following me.

“Fuck you, go away,”

I turned to him.

“I can’t leave, Ariel, it took me a whole week to find you and also meet you, I can’t leave now, you have to listen to me, Ari, please, I beg, I can’t go on like this, my life has been hell, since you left me, Arielyn, please,”

He pleaded. He got me with how he spoke, I couldn’t turn my back on him even though I wanted to, not when he was pleading so sincerely.

“Why should I listen to you? You did what you did, why are you trying to talk to me now, why don’t you go be with your darling?”

I let out, I was still jealous and hated it so much. One week did nothing to the pain. I just knew how to hide it well or maybe I didn’t even hide it well.

“My darling? Ariel, is that why you left before I came back home? Because you heard me say darling on the phone?”

He asked in shock. I glared at him.

“Really? Are you going to act ignorant now? I was already going to leave, but you stopped me and wanted to explain but the minute your darling called, you were off without thinking twice, did you really expect me to stay back and wait for you both to come back so that you could lie to me again?”

I asked him, I was the fool for even giving him a chance to talk to me, I should go inside, call the cops on him to come get him away from my house, or maybe I should call my brothers, they all want to do something for me, sending Kendrix away from my sight could be their first brotherly duty to me.

“Yes, I left because my darling called, if I didn’t, she would have gotten in trouble,”

I couldn’t believe he was telling me that to my face, my face grew red in anger.

“So go be with you darling and leave me the fuck alone, won’t she be at your house waiting for you? Why do you need me to come back too? Are you planning on keeping two women in your house?”

I fired at him. The thought of him wanting me back because he wanted to keep me and the other woman made me want to throw up, I didn’t like nor will I ever want to share with anyone; never.

“No, I only want you, Arielyn, no one else,”

He lied.

“Liar, why are you trying to lie? What happened to your other woman, Veronica? Your darling, isn’t she enough for you?”

I let out. I hated that I couldn’t hide how jealous I felt.

“You got it all wrong, Ari, my darling wasn’t Veronica and would never be her, it was my mom, I call my mom darling, fuck, I know I did a lot of wrongs but that’s not one of them, you misunderstood,”

He explained, I refused to believe, he was a good liar and a manipulator, he was lying and I would be a fool to believe his shits.

“Liar,”

I mouthed.

“I am not lying, Arielyn, wait, let me call my mom on video call, and you can ask her, I am not lying,”

He said and brought out his phone.

“Stop, don’t call your mom and drag her into our issue, let’s say your mom is your darling, are you going to explain what happened in Dilgem and what I saw too or why she was at our house, I mean at your house that day?”

I asked, I had to correct and remind myself that his house wasn’t mine.

“I can explain if you give me a chance to, just give me a chance Arielyn,”

He pleaded.

“Okay, fine, you have ten minutes, but just we are clear, I am just letting you talk, don’t even think for once that I will go back to your house with you, I have no intentions of staying in the same house with you and your woman,”

I informed him firmly.

“Ari, she isn’t my woman, you are the only woman I have, the only one I want,”

I refused to give ears to his choice of words, he was just saying those to gain my trust, I would be damned if I let him sweet talk me into overlooking what he did and the fact that he still has the said woman at his house while actively trying to deny her.

“I don’t think any woman would like her lover denying her,”

I pointed out.

“She is not my woman!”

He raised his voice.

“I am sorry, I didn’t mean to shout at you, I am just, God, Ari, please, please hear me out, I know what everything looked like and I know I did you a lot of wrongs but Veronica is not what you think she is to me,”

He explained.

“Speak, I am listening,”

I said and folded my arms over my chest, I was tired and just wanted to bath and sleep or at least sit down but I didn’t want to invite him into my house so even though I wasn’t comfortable, I had to bear it and listen to what he has to say so that he can leave and I can focus on healing and moving on with my life.

“Veronica and I used to date over eight years ago, we were in love and were mates, or so I thought,”

He grimaced.

“What do you mean by ‘so you thought?”

I asked, curiously.

“She lied to me, everything was a lie, she never even liked me or wanted me, I was the fool, I wasn’t even her main target, I just got in the way of her plans,”

He explained but I wasn’t taking any of his shits; all I could get from what he just said was that she left him and that might be the only reason that he wants me back with him, now that he can’t be with his beloved woman, he wanted good old Arielyn to fill the space she left.

“So? Because what you had didn’t work out, you decided you would come get me? Is that why you wanted to keep me around? Was I your plan B?”

I asked him.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“What? Arielyn, what are you even on about? You were never a plan B,”

He let out but I refused to believe him.
