chapter 6: He wants her back

Nora's POV

I stood behind Austin as I watched Louis approach the stage. He still hasn't changed a bit but why is my heart racing, why do I feel this panic gripping me?

Going back to Louis was the last thing I planned to do. How did he find my location?

How did he know today is my mating ceremony? Has he been spying on me?

The thought of Louis stalking me send cold shivers down my spine. Cold sweats formed on my forehead and I could feel my make-up washing off by my sweats.

" Who are you?" Austin roared, but the wicked smile on Louis's face never left my mind. Why was he smiling that way? I couldn't help but wonder.

" Louis Rusev" Louis answered and the audience gasped. At this moment, the priest had disappeared and everyone was holding their breath.

" The alpha of lake pack?" Austin asked again to be sure the person standing before him wasn't an imposter. I didn't tell Austin the identity of my ex-mate, I only told him what happened between us.

" Bravo, you know me well" Louis applaud and approached us on the stage.

" What do you want?" Austin asked and I felt his grip tightened around my wrist.

" I want my mate back" Louis answered calmly with a domineering voice. My heart ached at his response and I felt tears brimming in my eyes. Didn't he reject me? Didn't he send me away?

" I don't want to go with him" I mumbled behind Austin.

" Never," Austin said and I felt a weight lifted off my chest.

I raised my head and looked at Louis, his hand was in his pocket and he just stood there calmly like the devil he is.

" Missed me?" He raised his brows at me and I quickly looked away. What a pervert!

" She doesn't miss any bit of you" Austin replied and a half smile crept on my face.

" But she missed my cock" Louis said and the audience erupted with gasp. The smile on my face disappeared and my face turned pale.

" She doesn't because she have mine now. You're in her past and I'm her present" Austin defends me and I felt like crying. Why is he making me so emotional?

" Come to me now" Louis commanded and I felt my feet trying to move by themselves. I can't believe he still affects me. My body listens to him but my heart doesn't.

Austin held me back when he saw my reaction, he wrapped his arm around my waist and steadied my stance.

" She's not coming to you," Austin said and before I could raise my head, I felt a breeze and the next thing I saw was Austin falling on the other side of the arena.

" Austin!" I screamed and ran towards him with my gown in my hands but a strong force pulled me back.

I felt my back resting on a hard chest, his familiar coffee scent filled my nostrils. I tried to set myself free from his grip but the more I tried in my mind, the more my body melts in his arm.

" You still haven't changed Nora" He whispered in my ear.

" You react to every part of me" He whispered again and I shut my eyes tight.

" Shut up! " I yelled but he tightened his grip around me.

" I'm here to take you home Nora, I miss you so much," He said and my heart leaped into my chest.

" Come with me and I will take care of you" He whispered intimately in my ear and before I could react, I heard a groan from him and his grip loosened around me.

I staggered forward and kicked the shoe off my feet, turned back, and saw Austin throwing punches at Louis's face.

" Austin stop" I yelled, tears streaming down my face and when I tried to rush forward, I was held back by soft hands.

" Let the men take care of themselves," Eleanor said and I shook my head at her.

" No Eleanor, he's going to kill him," I said and pointed towards the fight scene.

" Both of them are Alpha's, trust me, Nora, he's not going to die," She said again and I hit her hand.

" What do you mean by he isn't going to die Eleanor?" I asked and pushed her on her chest and she staggered backward because she wasn't expecting my reaction.

" Look he's killing my brother" Eleanor pointed at Louis, whose fingers were digging into Austin's neck and my jaw dropped.

He threw Austin away and looked in my direction. Eleanor left my side and went to check on her brother.

My feet were rooted to the ground, Louis was taking gentle strides toward me, and his white tuxedo was drenched in blood. Blood was dripping down his lips to his chest and before I knew it, he was standing right before me. His gaze pierced down at mine. I knew right that moment that there was nothing I could do if he decides to take me with him.

Austin is hurt and Eleanor is not by my side, I'm just an Omega who lacks fighting skills. My gown won't even let me run if I wanted to.

" You're a monster" I yelled and hit him hard on his chest with my hands.

" Why can't you just leave me alone? What have I done to you?"

He grabbed my hands and placed them on his cheeks.

" I can't leave you alone because you belong to me Nora," He said and I shook my head at him.

" I no longer belong to you right after you rejected me," I said softly and forced my hands away from his disgusting cheeks.

" If only you know how much I hate you. If only you know how much I despise your existence and your entire being, you won't be standing before me here today" I took one step away at a time as the words left my lips one after the other.

" You're mine Nora, I own you" He howled and I missed my steps and fell on my butt.
