15 Call me by my name

Like I asked, he went into the kitchen to check the meal I made.

Sitting still on the chair, I wait out for what's

about to hap…

"You've not prepared any meal?" He asked not in anger, but in a tone that suspiciously wants to sound angry, but it's not.

I slowly turn to face him, "You never bothered to ask me if I knew how to light a match, all you did was leave some things for me to prepare.

Tell me, Mr rogue, how do you expect me to prepare a meal when I've not lighted a match all my life?"

" Fern. "

" What? " I ask confused.

" Fern is my name. It'll do you good to remember that. "

" Oh," I scoff," I thought you want me to call you Alpha? Why are you telling me your real name, Rogue Alpha? " I raise a brow at him, my mouth tilting at the side in mockery.

"Calling me by my name is far better than hearing you call me Rogue. I'm quite aware I'm a rogue, you don't have to point it all out to me."

"But I love Rogue more."

Somehow, calling him by his name makes things more intimate between us. It makes it seem as if I've finally accepted him as an Alpha, but that's not true, neither can it ever be true.

I'll never accept him as my Alpha.

"Suit yourself." He gave me a Stony look before a smirk graced his face, "should you continue with the rogue calling, I'll start calling you by pet names." He winked at me, "so, love, let's go and make dinner. My friends will be here any moment from now. " He said in a smug tone, his eyes showing that playful glint I know.

" Don't Call me that! " I frown at him, "I have a name, you know?"

"You have a name? So do I. Should you get to acknowledge that fact, then will I start calling you by your name? If not, you're stuck with love. " He winked.

" Suit yourself! " Folding my hands stubbornly, I turn so I am facing the door instead of him.

" Let's go and prepare the dinner."

"I'm preparing nothing. As an Alpha, I have no reason to learn to cook. Should I get to find my mate, she will cook my meals for me. You see, I do not need to enter the kitchen."

Thinking of my mate made me feel nostalgic as I thought about the impossibility of finding a mate.

In a place like this, I don't think I can find a mate locked up in a glasshouse.

Moreover, it's the male that rescues the female, and not the other way around.

This will be a sort of disgrace to me should my female mate end up rescuing me from this place.

"And who told you your mate will be female?" He slowly walked toward me.

His steps were as predatory as always.

" I just knew. You see, I've never been attracted to males. "

Neither have I been attracted to females either, but among the two genders, I like the females.

"You've never been attracted to males, not even I?" He stood in front of me, just a hair breath apart.

"Why should I be attracted to you?" I scoff, "There's no way in hell I can be attracted to someone like you."

" But your body says otherwise." He trailed his hand through my exposed arm, and that caused me to shiver at the sensation.

"What…. are… you doing?" I breathe out. Locking my eyes with his, I tried to make sense of the feelings I am having from his touch.

It felt as if some sort of electricity is zapping through my body as he continued with his touch, not stopping for once to allow me a breathing space.

"I'm trying to show you how attracted to me, you are." Smirking, he bends towards me, his mouth a little distance from mine to the extent that if I so much as shake my head in his direction, we'll end up kissing each other.

The thought of that didn't repulse me like I think it will. Instead, it made me feel eager?

" Let's go and cook." Hastily standing from the chair, I rush into the kitchen to avoid doing something I might come to regret later.

I don't know what's wrong with me, nor can I tell what exactly my mind is thinking when I had that stupid thought of kissing the Rogue.

What's wrong with me?

I tug my hair in frustration as I tried to think of the reason I had such a strange thought.

Could it be based on the fact I've not seen anyone aside from him for days, and my heart is trying to get more intimate with the only person around us?

That would be the case.

That's the only explanation on why I'm having such type of reaction with him.

"I don't know you're this eager to learn to cook." The rogue smirked as his eyes went straight to me the moment he came in.

"Shut up!" I frown at him. Turning, I pretended to be busy doing... *shrugs* nothing.

I don't know my left from my right when it comes to cooking. I'm mostly clueless about some kinds of stuff.

"Are you this eager to learn, or were you trying to escape from me?" He breathes down my neck as he circles his arms around my waist.

I willed myself not the reaction to him.

Closing my eyes, I grit my teeth in anger.

" We're in the kitchen, Rogue Alpha," I said as sweetly as I can.

" And what's wrong with the kitchen? We can act intimate anywhere we so wish to. I don't see a reason why I need to be cautious anywhere we are."

" In case you've forgotten, oh wise Rogue. The knife is in the kitchen, and it happens to be next to me currently." Picking up the said knife, I smile to myself.

"Let's get on with the cooking." He let go of me as hastily as he held me. "We need to prepare the meal before they make an appearance."

" Now you're talking."
