Chapter 138 - Unanswered - Part【2】
I cannot speak to my brother about Phobos's wicked punishment where he restrained my arms and fucked my brains out. About how we have rough and hard angry sex whenever we fight where he often deliberately leaves his claim on me for all to notice.
"May I ask what kind of kiss it was that you beheld? With that female Moira and Phobos?"
"A kiss of consolation, that was what he claimed."
"And what kind of kiss was yours with that male?"
"A kiss of vengeance." Cronus nods in understanding tapping his fingers upon the bend of the wheel as if he has finally figured it all out though I have not mentioned to him the entire backstory in detail just a summary.
"I thought I could put the totality of the blame for your heartache on your male but it seems you are at fault too, Theia."
"I am. But he betrayed me first. He chose his friend over me and that is all that matters."
"I understand and you know I will stand by your side no matter what it is you want. I will help you through this little wolf, no matter what is at stake."
"I know." I smile weakly at him. Cronus would go to war with my male if it meant that my wishes would be appeased.
"Pass me my phone, it must have finished charging by now. I wish to see if the message I sent to your mobile has been delivered." He speaks as I lean rearward and seize his phone attached to the portable charger from the backseat. He forged a temporary plan last night when we were seated in the jet, rather he took a gamble.
Phobos might not know if I had been taken by force by one of his enemies for there were too many foreigners on our pack lands who still hadn't possessed his full trust or if Cronus was the one who did it for my sake. To diminish doubt my brother had sent out a text to my mobile that he had flung out of the truck last night in the case my male managed to find it saying that Deimos's jet had issues and that he would not be able to come to visit. He apologized and promised he would come another time.
Cronus narrows his eyes his thumb fiddling with the screen and his amber greens tense when he discovers something. "As I expected your male found the phone, Theia. My messages have been read." As soon as he utters those words the unforeseen shrill sound of his phone ringing has me shrink back into my seat and violently quiver, I snap my broadened eyes to my brother filled with a sense of mingled fear and uneasiness. "Speak of the devil."
He swiftly answers the call not wanting to spark even a tiny inkling of suspicion within the impatient male on the other end and switches it on to speaker so I can hear their conversation. "How are you, Theia? Did you miss me last night?" He chuckles out in that playful tone he always uses when he converses with me. His eyes are fierce and composed anchored to the road ahead of us but his voice is manipulated into one of contentment and tenderness.
"Cronus." My male's gruff sonorous voice that greets my brother has my lips quake and tears soar to the surface a silenced involuntary whimper departs my lips and my brother redirects his gaze to me, his eyes drilling into mine with a warning to keep my mouth shut if we want to make it out of this alive.
"If this isn't a surprise, to what do I owe the pleasure Phobos?" My brother remains his carefree mischievous self for he is aware of how the beast will pick up on even the slimmest of variation in attitude or tone of speech.
"I see that you were unable to attend our celebration last night."
"Yes, I apologize for that. Your brother's jet had some engine issues I reckon so I have postponed my trip to your lands if that is all right with you." He replies giving me a quick glance checking if I am doing all right.
"You are always welcome here. And I apologize for calling you at a bad time, it sounds as though you are...driving." Cronus stiffens to my male's words for both he and I are aware of what Phobos is doing. He is interrogating in disguise my brother is still on his hit list for now.
"Yes, I had some duties to attend to you know how I am always out searching for my female. I am just returning home after visiting one of the nearest packs." He replies casually keeping his tone firm but easygoing.
"I will keep this short then, I have some news to share with you."
"What news?" He asks as the gates of my prior home open wide and pauses on either side to let us in as Cronus drives us directly towards the family mansion.
"I would rather say my truth to your face than on the phone. I have spoken to Deimos his jet has been repaired I will arrive on your lands as soon as possible, it is only respectful I inform your parents this way as well for it is my responsibility." I swallow slowly as my heart clenches to the fatigue and distress in his voice, I am sure he did not sleep last night he was probably pursuing me with dismay. If he assumes I have been taken by force he will blame himself for being careless for a very long time until I return to him.
"I do not understand what you are saying, Phobos. I need you to be clearer."
"I will explain everything to you as soon as I arrive. Give me clearance to enter your lands, Cronus.." And with those words, he abruptly ends the call the line going silent as my brother lets out a faint curse.
