Why deceive me??
53. I want to go alone

"You know I don't care how you feel so drop the act. We both know how our relationship turned this sour," Damon said to her.

Sara was enjoying the show and she paid good attention to them. Ronnie held Damon's hand. Once she got his attention, she used her eyes to give him a signal to stop talking. He immediately got the hint and turned to his mother. "No need to cry over spilled milk. And if your reason for asking me to talk is about why I chased Sara out of my company, then you should better ask her to learn how to behave," Damon said and turned to leave. "Mother, did you hear what he just said?" Sara whined.

"Damon, you're hurting the poor girls' feelings," Mrs. Ayra said.

"Then I'd better do a better job at that. She's a nuisance," He said and left the room with Ronnie by his side.

Mrs. Ayra glanced at Sara and Sara shrugged.

"Don't you worry, I'll deal with her my way," Mrs. Ayra said. RONNIE'S POV

I don't think I like being here anymore. The contract was supposed to be smooth and drama free. I don't understand why they both hate me so much. Understandably, Sara likes Damon but what if his mother? Why does she hates me, or should I say Katie so much?

I miss my mother so much. Wish she was conscious so I could at least cry on her shoulders. Wish I had mastered my powers so I can cast a spell that would wake her up. I think I should try. I can't know what the outcome would be if I don't try. I was still deep in thought when I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist. I smiled, knowing it was Damon.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked.

Although I had the urge to tell him about me not being the real Katie, I knew that would be a big mistake. Katie was paying for my mother's medical bills which I can't afford on my own. It's not like Damon can't afford it but what would I tell him? Sorry, Damon, I tricked you. I'm not Katie but Ronnie so please pay for my mother's medical bills because I just told you the truth. That would be the most stupid thing on the whole planet for me to do.

I turned to look at him and smiled. "Nothing really," I replied

"Nothing?" He creased an eyebrow. "You know I've been watching you for quite a time and you seem like your mind is out of this planet,"

I faked a smile and turned to him. "Nothing, I'm serious,"

I knew he didn't believe me but what do I do? He heaved a sigh and shrugged his shoulders. He gently stroked my hair and hugged me. I felt at peace by his side.

I don't know what these feelings are, but what I'm certain of is I always feel at peace whenever I'm close to him. I'm I falling in love with him? No, absolutely no. I can't fall in love with my look-alike husband. I knew it was wrong and I can't let him come to my head.

"So, since you are enjoying being held by me, can you tell me what's wrong?" He asked.

I was about to tell him I was fine but then he shushed me by placing his thumb on my lips.

"Don't tell me nothing," He said. "I've noticed you looking so gloomy these days and you can't tell me it's nothing."

I sighed and raised my head to look at him. "Well, I'll tell you another time," I said and smiled.

He tilted his head and frowned.

"So I'm too little or not worth it for you to share your problems with?" I thought I heard him say in my head.

"It's not that. You're worth more than anybody would be," I replied before realizing that voice was in my head. I paused for a moment and looked at him.

"Did you just say something or am I hallucinating?" I asked, bewildered.

He cradles me. "You're not imagining things. We wolves have this thing that lets us communicate to ones who we are connected to," He explained

"But how are you connected to me?" I asked, curious.

"Well...never mind," He said

"But you said wolves. I'm not a wolf," I replied.

He seemed taken aback. "Katie, what do you mean you are not a wolf?"He looked at me curiously and I gulped. Why do I always have to screw up at the most crucial moment? I smiled.

"I meant I was not an ordinary wolf but the future Luna of a great and mighty alpha wolf," I said, hoping he'd fall for my lies.

He looked at me doubtfully. "You know what?" He asked.

"What?"I replied.

"Something seems off about you. Like you're some crazy girl," He said

I looked at him wide-eyed this time around.

"Crazy?"I asked

"Yeah, crazy but sexy. I like it," He said and I blushed.

Why was he being so sweet to me? It's not like I'm complaining but if he continues being like this, I'm not sure if I can fight my feelings toward him.

I nestled myself close to him and could perceive his cologne. It was masculine and smelled of lavender. I loved it.

"So, is there something you want to tell me?" He asked.

I moved away from him and sat up and straightened myself on the bed.

"Can I go out?" I asked. I wanted to see my mum.

"Where are you going to?"He asked

"I want to see someone," I replied

"No problem. I'll have Alan drop you off then," He said and picked up his phone.

I placed my hand on his, stopping him from making any call. He looked at me with questionable eyes.

"I want to go alone," I replied, not sure if he'll let me out of his sight.

He frowned. Just as I predicted.

"Why would you want to go alone?" He asked.

"Well, I just want to see someone dear to me and don't want any company or guard," I said, smiling politely

"And who is this person so dear to you that you can risk your security for?" He asked, almost cold.

I gulped. Why does he have to turn cold at this crucial moment?

"Well, it's someone really special," I said

"Your lover, I guess," He said and frowned.

"Huh?" I asked.

He looked away and started walking toward the door.

"You can go, but don't even think of sleeping over there and make sure you come back before the clock strikes 12, or you're never stepping foot out of this mansion again," He said and banged the door loudly before going out. I gulped.
