Firework

Chapter 9

I met his gaze, anger boiling inside me when I asked, “Jared, when you claimed Georgia was just your best friend, your sister, or whatever else, I accepted it. But the moment I do something similar, you immediately play the victim?

“If you can always be there for Georgia, then I should be allowed to be close to Thomas, who I consider my best friend and brother. That’s what you call fair.

Jared’s expression darkened. He expressed his anger toward me by cornering me more, “If that‘ s not the reason for you wanting to reject me, then what is? Just tell me, Olivia. Don’t leave me in the dark.

I looked at him with a cold smirk before answering, “You don’t even realize where you went wrong. That s why we can’t continue this relationship, Jared.”

Jared seemed taken aback, trying to process my words.

“You could just tell me what you re dissatisfied with!” he pleaded.

But I did say it. However, I just got his indifferent attitude in return. After all, what kind of girl could stay calm when seeing her mate being so caring and attentive to another woman?

“Jared, I need to go to class. Stop holding me up with this pointless conversation. Don‘ think it’s

t you undignified, Alpha?”

“Are you really upset because I set off fireworks for Georgia that day?” he asked, as if he had suddenly found the answer.

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. “Do you even know what day that was?” I asked back. Jared looked confused for a moment.

I said quietly, “That was my birthday, Jared. But you left me alone. That might have been fine on any normal day, but you promised that morning we would celebrate together.”

I looked at him, my eyes filled with disappointment. I had said so much, but he still hadn’t grasped the real issue.

“Since you dare to meet me again, Jared. I, Olivia Hatfield, hereby….”

Before I could say the word ‘reject,‘ Jared suddenly pulled me into a fierce kiss, with his hands roaming possessively over my body.
