Help! Five Beast Alphas Want To Breed Me!!(BL)-Chapter 195: I Know What Bram Is

Elián;

"Come in," I call skeptically as I get off the bed, and I freeze when I realise that I was right.

Rhydian.

What the hell is he doing here!?

"Hi..." He whispers, and my brows crease as I eye him from head to toe, wondering what he lost that got him here??

"What are you doing here?" I demand as I cross my arms over my chest, and he blinks at me.

His expression is unreadable, but his eyes...those stupid, grey eyes of his look softer than I remember.

My throat tightens instantly, and I’m forced to look away from him.

I know he’s a dumbass jerk, and still being around him and even just seeing him has effects on me that I hate.

He’s the last person I want to see today, and yet... He’s the only one I can’t seem to ignore.

"What do you want!?" I snap again as his silence is irritating my soul, and he jerks a bit.

He opens his mouth, and I glare at him with anger and disappointment colliding inside me.

"I thought it was simple jealousy at first... But maybe I misunderstood the type of person you are. You would let me leave him to suffer, just to protect your insecurities!?" His words repeat in my mind, and I shut my eyes tightly as I grab the sleeves of my robe in my fists.

I feel my lips tighten as I stare at him. At those eyes that looked at me with so much disgust... all for Bram.

I risked my life for this bastard! I almost died because of him, and he believed a stranger over me!

I... I hardly trust people. Heck, He’s the first man I can say I truly started falling for. I opened up to him. I was willing to let all my guards down for him, and what did I get!?

He kicked me to the curb. What the fuck was I expecting from the man who almost got me beaten to death?

That was probably fate’s way of telling me that this man only thrives when I’m in pain.

I make to speak, but before I can even get a word out, he drops to his knees.

I blink once. Twice... Thrice in utter confusion.

"What the fuck are you doing!?" I demand as I take a step back

"I..." he starts, but my mind jumps ahead, fast and... furious when I realise what this is.

"Oh, don’t tell me," I say, cutting him off, as my hands drop to my side.

"You’re here to beg me, aren’t you? To keep quiet about what happened? About your precious Bram trying to attack me?" I demand with angry tears, once again biting the sides of my eyes, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d say the expression on Rhydian’s face now is shock.

"He... what?" He questions, and I scoff.

"Oh, don’t play dumb!" I shout with so much rage I almost trip.

"You’re here to beg me not to tell Koda that your precious Bram tried to attack me, aren’t you!?" I spit, and a tear I can not stop escapes my eyes.

"God, I hate you! You’re so fucking blind! What’s it going to take to open your snot shut eyes!?" I scream, and he freezes.

"No. Wait, I don’t hate you as much as I hate myself for giving you a chance! You have always shown me that we can not work and still somehow, I chose to ignore all that for you, and you... the fuck are you doing here with Bram on my wedding day!? You’re pissed I want to be with Koda, so you brought the little shit to shove in my face!?" I scream, and Rhydian’s jaw drops.

"Elián, please..."

"I don’t want to hear it!" The words rip out of me before I can stop them.

My chest burns with every breath, and my tears are pouring now, but I can’t fucking stop them.

Rhydian slowly rises from his knees, his gaze never leaving me. There’s something in his eyes I can’t read... anger, maybe... or regret. I can’t tell, and at this point, I’m not even sure I give a shit.

"I didn’t come here to talk about Bram," he says quietly, and I blink at him.

"Then what are you here for? To hurt me even more? Can I beg that you save it till tomorrow? You’ve gained the impeccable talent of hurting me by just being around me, so please save whatever you have to say till after my wedding." I reply, and he flinches at that, but I don’t care.

Let him hurt. Let him feel what he made me feel.

"Elián, please," he says softly, taking a step closer. "Just listen..."

He begins, but I look away from him and step back.

"Rhydian, please. I don’t want to hear anything from you. Just leave." I plead, holding out a hand to him, and his tired voice follows.

"You don’t understand..."

"I understand perfectly!" I shout, cutting him off, and he pauses.

"You made your choice, Rhydian. You chose him. What more do you want me to understand? You had no choice!? You were trying to save him!? Save me the bull crap! You always had a choice, Mr. Alpha, and at every chance you’ve ever gotten, you chose to hurt me!" I add, and silence slams into the room.

Rhydian looks like he wants to say something, but I won’t give him the chance to see me break down.

I walk over to the bed, grab my belt, and glare back up at him.

"You know what? Fine. You won’t leave? Then I will." I spit before marching towards him.

I move to storm past him, my steps quick and furious, but the moment I pass him, his hand closes around my wrist.

"Elián..." He begins, but I turn back to glare at his eyes.

"Let go of me!" I shout, struggling to pull free, but his grip is firm, warm, desperate.

"I’m not here to beg for that bastard," he says, with his voice rough now.

"I’m here because I know what he is!" He adds, and the world stops.

Every sound fades. The wind, the curtains in the wind, even the beat of my heart.

I stare at him, caught between disbelief and the terrifying curiosity crawling up my spine.

Rhydian’s eyes burn with something fierce, something haunted. And for the first time since I’ve known him, I see genuine fear behind his eyes.

However, I don’t speak. I can’t.

All I can do is stand there, frozen in utter shock.

His hand is still gripping mine, and his words echo in the hollow of my chest.

What did he just say??
