Chapter 35 - Why Do You Hate Me?
His face darkened and his green eyes, which were slowly changing to a different color, stared down at her with different emotions, especially anger, visible in them. "I don't care, you are going to that party wi-"
"I won't!" Leia spat out and viciously glared at him. "Take your filthy hands off-!" She hadn't finished her sentence when Adrik's balled fist abruptly slammed into the wall, near her head, and lines of crack appeared on the wall.
"I said you are going to that party with me!" His eyes, which had turned completely golden, glared down at her as though they would burn her, and he punched the wall once again. "Damn you!!" His grip on her wrist tightened, causing Leia to wince in pain. "You're hurting my wrist." She looked up at him with little tears in her eyes.
"Why do you hate me!? What in the world am I doing wrong to you!? Have I ever mistreated you!? Have I ever disrespected you as my wife!? What the fuck is It!? What the fucking hell is it!? His breathing became unsteady and he yelled at her with a tone that clearly showed how much he was hurting within him. His golden eyes darkened more as he threw every question at her.
Leia shivered uncontrollably, and her eyes gazed into his. She trembled within his grip as her body felt as though it was burning under his fierce gaze. What was going on? What was happening to her? She stared deeply into his eyes, and her heart shuddered within as she saw the hurtful emotion within them. Her body became startled and trembled violently when Adrik yelled in a rage and punched his balled fist on the wall a few more times.
Adrik took a deep breath and let go of her wrists. He shut his eyes and let out a low sigh. He raised his eyes, which had returned to their emerald green colors, and stared at her. "I am sorry. I will not force you to go with me if you don't want to." With that being said, he walked out of the room and slammed the door shut, leaving Leia, who was still pressed against the wall, motionless.
Leia breathed heavily, and her eyes fluttered a few times in fear. Her face darkened, and she angrily walked to the table with the glasses and vase on it and shoved everything off to the floor. The glasses and vases fell to the floor and shattered into pieces. She breathed unsteadily in fury and yelled loudly. "Ahhhhh!!!" She clutched her head and furiously pulled on her hair. She slapped the remaining vase on the table, and it fell to the floor, instantly shattering into pieces.
She staggered to the wall and pressed her back against it, then slowly slid down to the floor. She pulled her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. Tiny bubbles of tears welled up in her eyes and fell as she lowered her head to her knee. More tears dropped from her large eyes, and she sniffed. Why was she even crying? Was it because she felt a little guilty or what? She just couldn't understand. All she knew was that her heart was hurting badly, and it was making it hard for her to hold back the tears. She had no idea why it was welling up in her eyes.

Adrik angrily walked through the hallway and accidentally bumped into Alex, who was coming to find him. A gloomy expression made its way to Alex's face as he raised his eyes to glance at his Alpha. He had heard everything, and he understood what his Alpha must be going through now. "Supreme Al-" He proceeded to say something, but Adrik ignored him and stumbled away.
Alex took a deep, sad breath and slightly shook his head. If having a mate was this way, then he would not want one. This was just so unfair. Leia was the first girl he had ever seen his Alpha care and treatment in such a way. He had never even treated Selena in such a way when they were together. He glanced at the part where his Alpha left off, and he walked away with a downcast expression on his face.

In an empty room, on a large couch, sat a young man with a dispirited look on his face. He sat with his head thrown back and his hands spread to the sides. His eyes stared up at the ceiling, and he continuously let out a pessimistic, deep sigh.
Why? What has he not done for her? There was nothing she asked that he wouldn't do for her... so why? Has he mistreated her? He was certain that whenever he did, he always made an appropriate apology to her.
So why does she hate him this much? Why was his case different? All mates were always meant to love each other deeply even if one in them Is human... so why does his mate hate him? Why did the moon goddess bestow on him, a mate who detests him? Could it be that the prophecy told about him years ago, was true? His brow creased deeply as he thought.

The darkness shrouding the sky disappeared as the next day came. However, there was no beautiful sun in the sky; rather, shady crowds enveloped the sky, and light rain was falling, leaving everyone moody.
With a cup of coffee in her hand, Leia gazed out the huge glass window at the rain falling on the concrete ground. A deep breath escaped her nose and she placed her hand on the window. She stayed that way for a while before she turned around and walked away.
She placed the cup of coffee on the table and walked into the bathroom. After a hot shower, she outfitted herself in jeans and a white sweater, then gave her hair a little fixing before walking out of the room.
She glanced at every room in the hope of finding Adrik, but he was nowhere to be seen. 'Did he leave last night?' Her face puckered in displeasure as she thought. She scurried downstairs and met Alex seated on the sofa in the living room.. She slowly walked up to him and stood in front of him. "Do you know where he is?"
