All Chapters of Mated In Chaos : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Zuriel The little Princess was driving me crazy. I fumed in anger when I saw her smiling fondly at another man. That tour guide. I hated how much it affected me. How much she affected me, She should only be my wife on paper and nothing more. I shouldn't allow myself to care for her or else she will get hurt in the long run. I wasn't a good man. I wasn't capable of truly loving or caring for another human. Not with the demons that reside within me. The voice of my father lives rent-free in my head, in my memories. His curses, his beating every time I showed any kind of emotion. He told me I was weak. He was mad, mad for power and territory like his dragon. A paranoia who thought he'd be attacked anytime. He wanted me to be exactly like him. He killed so many and made me watch. A seven-year-old boy watched as heads rolled off bodies and as others burned while he drank and laughed. That shit destroys you from the inside. It shuts you down, and you hate everything and everyone, incl

After changing my clothes, I rushed to the lobby. My heart is still pounding after what happened at the table. My body shivers, and a smile plays on my lips. I love that man. I can't believe this is happening right now. If someone told a thirteen-year-old me, I'd be married and fucked by him. I wouldn't believe it. I don't even mind that he is coarse. I like it like that. " Elara," A voice jolts me, and I turn. My eyes meet Rob's. I skip towards him happily." Hi, Rob!" " You are in good spirits today. I'm pleased to see you like this," he tells me. " Thank you. So, where are you taking me today," I say, going to the exit, " I want to take you on the water today. We can see the fish up close," he says, and I freeze. Water? No. I love looking at the ocean, but I didn't love being in the water or a boat, no matter how big it was. " Can we do something else? I can't swim, so I'm scared," I confess. " Really? Why come here then," he laughs. " I love the ocean. I just don't like b

" Why did you do that?" I scoff. A slither of jealousy rushed through me. It's the past, I know, but I can't help it. " She seduced me. I didn't know she belonged to another man. Honestly, I didn't care," he says. So, the fiancé seduced Zuriel because he was wealthier. What a despicable woman. I snarl. " So, you are worried that he's close to me to exact revenge?" He avoids my gaze after my question. I was right. " You owe Rob an apology," " I owe him nothing. His woman was ambitious. She would have done that with another man sooner or later," he growled. " I meant you owe him an apology for hurting him earlier, Zuriel," " I'm sorry," he says. " Not to me, but to Rob," " I owe you an apology, too, little Princess. My behavior was unhinged. You were in pain because of your mate's betrayal, but I misinterpreted it," his tone is sincere. I don't want to forgive him yet, so I just nod, " Thank you," I say and enter the shower. Zuriel watches in stunned silence. I feel

After saying goodbye to Rob and the staff, we went to the airport. Our way home was filled with silence. The good kind, though. I ate and watched movies while Zuriel worked. " Are you not hungry? You didn't eat anything," I say. He lifts his eyes to meet mine. " I'm good. Enjoy," We land after two hours. Bruce is there to welcome us at the private airport. " What are you doing here?" Zuriel asks, frowning. I hit his arm softly, " He is here to welcome his friend," I grit my teeth. He sighs and says, " Thanks for coming," he grumbles. Bruce raises his eyebrows and smiles at me, " Teaching his basic manners. Thank you, Mrs," I give him a cheeky grin and nod. " The driver is waiting. Let's go," Bruce says. We are walking to the car when I catch a scent that makes me growl. River. " This woman came too? " I glare at Bruce. He raises his hands and shakes his head, " She didn't come with me, I promise," I watch with a stern expression as River walks towards us. She is

" We are being watched." Zuriel's body goes rigid. " Put me down," I demand. He walks into the lobby, and once we are there, he puts me down. " What did you say?" " I felt like we were being watched," I tell him. He exhales and glances back to the glass door. " I didn't feel anything," he murmurs, " It must have been your imagination." I frown, looking at the elevator. Once we enter, I go home. I will see River there. Gosh, she angers me. Zuriel suddenly throws me on his shoulder again. I find myself giggling. He enters the elevator with me still on his shoulder. " What are you doing?" I chuckle. " We are from our honeymoon. It is tradition for the husband to carry his wife to the bedroom." his voice is so sexy. " Bridal style, not like this, barbarian!" " Well, as you know, I'm coarser," he reminds me. I kiss and bite his shoulder. " Teeth!" he smacks my butt. The elevator stops, and he steps out. I see River standing by the staircase, and my mood dulls. Zuriel tightens h
