"Get your hands off of her!"
To say that I was totally wasted was an understatement. However, when I heard Kylians roar, I immediately sobered up.
I sat upright and looked at the door to see him standing there. He was fuming mad.
If we were in some cartoon, he'd have fire out of his nostrils, and his head would have exploded.
His eyes were wide open, and his hands were both in a tight fist as if ready to attack any second.
Damn! Why was he here? What does he want now?
Startled and in panic, I pushed. away from Albert and tried to stand up, but I miserably failed. I didn’t know I was in such bad condition until I tried to stand up and feel that I didn’t have the strength for that. I felt so weak, but that wasn’t a surprise, considering that I wasn’t eating food and all that had been running through my body was alcohol.
My body was incredibly sore, and there were bruises on my legs and knees that I only realized now. It must have been from the numerous falls I had while drunk.
I inwardly laugh with bitters. ‘How can you feel it when you are overwhelmed with your heartache, Della?!’ I scolded myself.
“Are you okay?” Albert bent down to look me in the eyes as he asked and examined me. He was filled with concern as he supported me to sit back down on the edge of the bed.
Nodding weakly, I said, “Yes, thanks…” I gently tried to push him away when I saw Kylian rushing toward Albert.
“I said, get your fucking hands off of her, asshole!”
Seeing the panic in my eyes, he immediately stood up and blocked my path from Kylian.
I looked at Albert. Despite the danger, he was standing tall without a hint of fear as he prevented Kylian from going toward me. He was trying to protect me despite knowing that he could be in danger.
This was the Dark Moon Pack. As great as he was, this wasn’t his or my territory. He went there despite knowing Kylian’s anger toward him. I fear that he would get hurt on my behalf, but I feel so lifeless today.
And in fact, I feel a bit happy. There’s a sense of joy building up in my broken heart as I see that there was someone who could act like that on my behalf. Something I had never seen from Kylian - the man I loved for years.
“Back off,” Albert warned as he pushed Kylian on his chest, making him take a step back.
I clearly saw how Kylian’s eyes glinted with golden color. His wolf was angered as well. Being an alpha, he was egoistic and dominant. He couldn’t tolerate being pushed, especially in his own territory.
Kylian sarcastically laughed in a devilish manner. “Back off? Do you even know where you’re standing? Who’s the woman you’re holding? You’re telling me to back off? You probably have lost your mind, Albert!”
“Yes, I probably did lose it. Because if I was in my right mind, I wouldn’t have let Della come with you only to be mistreated like this!” Albert shouted before pointing at me.
In a matter of seconds, Kylian was already an inch away from Albert and had his hand over his collar. “What is your right to tell her what to do? You’re just a nobody! Know your place! This is the Dark Moon Pack, and Della is my Luna!”
With a clenched jaw, Kylian added, “You got a lot of nerves to barge in here without notice and try to take away my Luna. Are you asking for your death? Because I am very much willing to kill you now.”
Not fazed, Albert spoke, “Then why did you make her cry? What did you do to hurt her so much that she fell into this state? You don’t want anyone bothering your time with her? Then why don’t you take care of her like you promised you’d do when you went to the Lycan kingdom to get her?!”
As if only registering what Albert had said, Kylian looked at me in shock. He observed me from head to toe, and I saw how his menacing eyes became a bit gentler.
Did he care? Was that a sign that he was caring for me? Maybe he had reasons. Maybe he didn’t mean to hurt me. Because if he did, he wouldn’t be looking at me like that right now. Would he?
Because his attention went to me, his hand loosened in Albert’s collar, so Albert managed to push him a few feet away from me.
“You said that you want her back. You said that you love her and that you will take care of her. You swear that you will! Then what’s happening now? Why the hell is she full of tears and drunk as hell?” Albert questioned one after another.
“If you really see her as your Luna, then why is she left in misery? Can you even call yourself worthy of her?”
Just like that, Kylian’s eyes shifted away from me, and his fist collided with Albert’s face. He hit so hard that Albert stumbled back. But he wasn’t a little bit fazed. He just looked back at Albert.
“What? Did what I said hit you? Is that why you’re angry? Because I’m right!”
Yes… Deep down, I knew in my heart that everything he said was the truth and had a basis because, at certain moments, I have those same thoughts. However, hearing someone questioning Kylian made me sympathize with him.
After all, everything was going fine until Stella came. And she’s the pack’s guest and daughter of the Lock Heart Pack’s alpha, so it’s only right for Kylian to entertain her… And the kiss… maybe…
‘Don’t be stupid, Della! Stop making excuses for him!’ My wolf scolded me in time.
“You don’t know anything, so you better keep your mouth shut! My relationship with Della is none of your fucking business!” Kylian told Albert off.
Leaning closer, he added, “You heard that? You are just a nobody! Who do you think you are to her? Don’t think so highly of yourself thinking you got any rights here to speak.”
Hearing the words they were throwing at each other, my heart ached even more. I looked at Albert’s pale face as he froze where he was after what Kylian had said. He was only caring for me, but he was being treated like trash.
He didn’t deserve any of it. He’s a very good man to be treated like that. It’s all my fault! If it weren’t for me, they wouldn’t be in a fight and hurting each other.
Albert let out a bitter smile. “You’re right. I have no right or whatever, and I don’t have any relation with her… But what about you? What right do you have to hurt her? You’re not even her fated mate. Didn’t you have one for yourself already?”
“What makes you think you are capable of hurting a woman like Della? Do you even know who she is, huh? How dare you hurt the prin…”
