Chapter 31
Disaster Date
I kept asking where we were going, but Reagan wouldn’t divulge that information to
1. me. I was getting agitated with his silence while
he seems to enjoy my restlessness.
My first ever date, and I could only hope it to be splendid. Yes, I haven’t ever gone on a date with a guy
before.
Adrian drove, with us in the back seat of a
Mercedes. I’m d to finally be out of that
house, even if it’s just for a while. I don’t know if
Reagan is still going on with my punishment, which is me remaining locked inside. I hope he has
forgotten all about it.
We drove for what I believe was almost an
hour before we arrived at a deserted beach. I
had wondered why he’d insisted on me wearing something light. I had on a blue summer dress
with pink flowers scattered over it.
The weather is still gloomy with dark
clouds hovering in the sky, but I doubt it would rain anymore. It’s been like this for a long time,
and still, no drop of rain.
Taking my hand in his, Reagan leads me on
to the sandy beach with the sound of the sea
being the only thing that can be heard. I stare at
the vast sea beside us with the wind blowing
through my hair as I enjoy the view of the water
beating against itself.
It is when I turn back to face my front that I
see what awaits us.
A few feet away from us stands a round
dining table set, with countless petals of red
roses surrounding the area. There’s a canopy
with white flowy curtains hanging from it as they dance along with the wind. I stare at the scenery before
us with my jaw hanging open, and my eyes widen in surprise.
“Like it?” He whispers the question beside my ear. His arm around my waist pushes my back against his
front with him gently resting his jaw on my shoulder. I’m still staring at the sight before me in awe when I
feel his teeth lightly
nibbling at my ear.
“It’s beautiful.” I gasp out as he chuckles
inside my ear. He slowly leads me towards the site, helping me to sit on a chair before going to take his
opposite mine.
In front of me there are roasted sweet
potato wraps with caramelized onions and
pesto, and between us there’s jerky, fresh fruit, nut mix, chips, and pretzels. Also a bottle of wine sits in
the middle, untouched. My mouth waters as I regard the meal, excited to dig in.
“This is mighty romantic of you,”
up dinner dates in a secluded beach just to
impress a girl.
He smiles at my words before reaching for the wine and pops it open. He fills both our sses with the
red liquid.
“You’re right. I’m not the romantic type.” He answers while taking a sip from his ss. “But you’re not an
easydy to convince, Ellie.”
“Maybe that’s because you had forced me to live in your penthouse and then locked me up like I was
your property. And let’s not forget you’re changing my college without my consent.” I retort with a frown. I
still wasn’t okay with how he had treated me.
His lips quirk up in an amused smile as he watches me re at him. “You act as if you’re
innocent in all this. Let’s not forget you kept
breaking my rules at every point.”
As romantic as the scenery may be, I know ! can’t allow him to continue with those ideas.
“That’s because you didn’t give me a choice! don’t deserve to be treated like a child, Reagan. I have the
right to make my own choices, and you shouldn’t make them for me without my consent”I can feel my
blood beginning to boil in anger.
He goes silent then, with an unreadable expression on his face. His jaw clenches a bit with his eyes
connected with mine as none of us are ready to look away. He sighs after a while as
his eyes divert from mine.
“Fine. You’re right.” He mumbles thest
part, but my wolf hearing got it.
“I’m sorry, what did you say?” I decide to taunt him since this is the first time he’s giving
1. in.
He narrows his eyes at me in a warning.
“Don’t push it, little wolf. I might agree that you’re right a tad bit, but that doesn’t mean I’m changing my
decision about your college.”
“This is my life we’re talking about, Reagan!” I burst out in frustration. I can feel the heat begin to creep
back into my skin, but I try to ignore it as much as I can. This is not the time for my wolf’s emotions to
buttin.
“And you’re mine. So yes, I do own you.” He arrogantly deres, causing me to stare at him wide-eyed.
“Bullshit!”I abruptly stand to my feet all of a sudden. My fists are clenched, shaking with fury as I glower
down at the brute who has a bored expression on his face.
Lexi had thought me how to subside my
emotions by thinking about Reagan, but she hadn’t told me how to stop them when he’s the
reason they’re going haywire.
“You know what? This mate bond is bull
s**t! You’re bullshit! These feelings I have are bullshit!” I explode while moving away from the table. I
don’t know what’se over me, but
the only emotion coursing through me right
now is pure anger at Reagan.
He slowly stands up with his eyes watching
my every movement, a scowl etched on his face with his eyes turning dark. I recognize the feral
look in them that is supposed to alert me to
keep calm, but lignore it. I back from the table
and out the curtains with my eyes still fixed on
him.
“Get back here, Ellie.” He orders in a
dangerously low tone.
“No!”Iyell back. The dancing curtains in
the wind sometimes blocks my vision of him as I’m outside while he’s still by the table inside.
“Prince or not, I don’t want to stay with a
controlling asshole like you. Why don’t you go
back to J and control her whichever way
you like?”
He’s still standing in his same spot with his
face set in that hard scowl. And for a second, the
curtains block my vision of him once more. But when it swings back up, I don’t see Reagan in his
spot anymore. I scrunch my eyebrowsin
confusion, with my eyes darting around for him.
But he’s nowhere to be found.
I feel my heart begin to thump a fast
rhythm when I feel his presence behind me. But before I could run, he grabs my arm to twist me around
before he hurls me over his shoulder in
one go.
“Let me go!” I screech while beating against his back with my fists. He ignores me as
he strides away back to where the car is parked
with Adrian waiting in the passenger’s seat. My
protests fall on deaf ears as he shoves me into
the backseat before climbing in along with me.
When I try to reach for the other door’s handle, he grabs both my hands in his and twists them behind my
back. He yanks me to him with his fingers digging into my hair and pulling me back, so I’m looking up at
him behind me.
“Look at me.” He grits out the order with
rage shing in his eyes.
My breathing isbored from all the
struggling, but my eyes are still filled with anger.
We keep glowering at each other for a while,
and when his eyes soften, so do mine. It is only
when the fury washes away from my eyes that I realize how much I had overreacted. Once more, I had
let my emotions get the best of me, and I’m beginning to regret it.
Reagan’s lips unexpectedly locks with mine
then, in a soft yet possessive kiss. It’s like he’s
trying to calm me down with the kiss, but still letting me know I belong to him. And I melt into it, pulling
him closer for more.
He moves back when it is clear we need
some air.
“We shouldn’t have had this day with your
wolf’s emotions all over the ce. We’ll try this
some other time.” He promises before letting
me go. He gruffly tells Adrian to drive before turning to stare out the window.

I can’t believe I just ruined my first date
because I didn’t know how to control my wolf.
And Reagan doesn’t seem too happy about that
either, even though he’s acting nonchnt. I
feel horrible, knowing I had spoiled such a
special asion. He did something nice for once, only for me to throw it all away in a fit of
rage.
I stare at him once more, but he’s still
looking out the window. I ce my palm cautiously on his shoulder, only for him to go
rigid under my touch.
“Thank you.” I finally said, causing him to
stare at me in confusion. “It was a disaster, but
I’m d you made the effort.” I sh him a small
smile. His scowl slowly wipes off, now reced
“Thank you.” I finally said, causing him to stare at me in confusion. “It was a disaster, but I’m d you

the rest of the way home and don’t even realize at what moment I doze off. His
scent alone was enough to pull me in a blissful
dream.
