The Rejected Phoenix
25 I want to hold you

Chapter 25. Subtitle: I want to hold you.

*** Ryker's POV *** She walked up to me and stood staring at me. I was shocked, happy and had mixed emotion at the sight of her. I was damn relieved as I looked all over her body with my eyes. I wanted to be sure she wasn't injured in any way. "Melanie... " I called still surprised of her presence. But I didn't expect the glare she would send me was this deadly. Did she hate me that much? She didn't talk to me. I took slow gentle steps towards her and closed the gap between us Cupping her cheeks In my palm,they felt hot as if she was burning. "what's wrong? Your cheeks are burning. Did someone annoy you? Where have you being? Are you fine... I was worried sick about you.." I mumbled. My hands roamed her whole body as I tried to check for any wounds or signs that she was hurt. But I didn't expect to get a really hard kick in the tummy. It was really painful and I let go of her. I didn't have any cloths on and she kicked my tummy. "did you f*ck her??1 " She snapped. I could tell there was a change in her voice. It exudes power and authority. I was shocked as I stared at her eyes. They had changed colour and where now deep red. Really red. "Melanie you eyes... They've changed color. .... What... * I was saying when I was cut short by her next words. "did you f*cking f*ck heriiz * She roared out as her breath screamed fire. My body was hot due to the steam she exudes when she speaks. I couldn't even reply her words due to how surprised I was. Was this really the girl I rejected for being weak? Nah. This kinky lady is no way close to weak. I now understand what I did was stupid. She was never weak. She just lacked the love and care of the people around her and that has made her recoiled to herself and became more reserved. If I had cared for her and not hurt her then maybe I could have the must powerful phoenix for a queen. But I did anyways and I don't think there will be a way she will ever forgive me. I don't think so. I was still deep in thoughts when she stormed out of the room in fury. "hurry.. Put on some cloths.. We need to chase her! * Zack yelled at me and I quickly walked to the wardrobe picking out a shirt and a jean trouser. I quickly put it on after I had put on a set of inner wears and stormed to the door. As soon as I came out I couldnt find Melanie in the hallways. Where did she go to? I hope she didn't run away again did she?

*** Melanie's POV*** as soon as I closed the door I yanked the lady's hair hard and threw her right at the wall. She hit her back hard on it and yelped in pains. I slowly approached her with mean steps and slapped her hard in the face. "you f*cking slut! You dare f*ck what's mine... Are you crazy? " I growled and gave her a hot dirty slap. She cried out and hold her red cheeks in pains. I kicked her hard in the tummy and she tumbled to the floor. "please... Spare me... I din't f“ck him please. She begged but I didn't listen. I took the scissors that was on the table and walked towards her. "I'll teach you a really big lesson. Next time you will close your dirty bucket hole when your around men." I muttered and slapped her hard bringing the scissors close to her face.. "no! Please don't... I beg of you.. I'm really sorry.. " She cried out and tried fighting back but a hard kick from me sent her curling in a ball. I started shaving her hair using the scissors when the door busted open and Ryker showed up. I threw him a glance and went back to what I was doing. "Melanie stop.. We need to get out of here. " He said but I didn't bulge and just kept cutting her hair mercilessly. I was half way through with my assault when he grabbed my arms and left the room with me in a hurry. I didn't even know what was going on and was too furious beating up the lady. There were securities rushing towards our direction when we were running out and they run pass us not sparing us a glance. I heard Ryker sighed in relief and kept pulling me along as he ran "she ran away. Quick check the hallway and lock the exit door. She couldn't Have escaped! " I heard the lady that was together with the other slutty lady earlier shout and before I could even speak I was taken off my feet and thrown right at someone's back. Ryker then continue continued to run with me on his back. "put me down I can run on my own..." I mumbled but he shot me a glare and I kept quiet. We were able to exit the hotel without being caught and weren't able to check into any hotel since Ryker said he forgot his things and money in the hotel. I had also forgotten my backpack there with all my things. The two of us ended up in the woods which was a normal place for people of our kind to leave in. Ryker helped light a fire and went to get us something to eat. It was cold and he had only a shirt on as he returned. He handed me a piece of hamburger and sat besides me quietly. He seemed to be cold since he was the one who went out to look for food for us. I quickly removed my hood and handed it to him. "here.. I'm a little warm. * I told him as I threw the hood at him. "I never said I was cold did I? You should keep it. You may catch a cold out here." He chuckled and said. But I was offended. "you really are an ungrateful Alpha who will never appreciate whatever anyone does for him. Your too proud for my liking. " I snapped feeling annoyed. He looked at me and laughed. We were both seated on the soft grass besides the fire. "your really annoyed because I refused to were it aren't you... As much as I want to accept it I can't. It will look more selfish if I take it. I'm the man here and your the woman. No matter what you should keep it. * He was calm. I was surprised that he was this calm and not cold. I didn't know what to say so I just kept my guess on the fire. "why did you have to go that extreme to do that to the lady.. She did. Nothing wrong.. * He said and looked at me. I sighed. "you can't expect me to let it slide when she is clearly trying to steal what's not hers. I was freaking jealous..." I mumbled inside hoping he didn't hear me but he actually did "you were jealous.. " He stated with a wide smirk. I scoffed and turned to back him. "I'm going to sleep. " I mumbled and shifted to the three think and laid down uncomfortably. I couldn't sleep and stayed awake for a long time. Soon I felt a hand sneaked up my back towards my tummy. I cringed and sulked in my breath. "let go of me." I mumbled. Although I wanted the opposite. I really liked how warm his hands Made me feel. I wanted him to draw closer to me. "but why does your body says the opposite. It actually wants me to touch it more. I can feel you tense under my hold.. It's cold.. I want to hold you and be warm.. " He said and bite my lips nervously.
