Captured To Become A Vampire Prince's Bride {Book 2}: Chapter 24

Over the next week or so, I didn't see much of Alexander and it was so hard to get a hold of him. This base was huge, I couldn't go walking the length and breadth of it everytime I wanted to find him. If he wanted me to find him, he probably would tell me where he was going whenever I did ask him, so I stopped. He had a secret and I had to respect that.

But another week went past and I grew impatient, and one thing especially threw me off the rails.

As I was checking the day's rota in our hallway, I saw that Alexander's had completely changed, even his lunch and breakfast times were different.

He did this.

I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know if he was avoiding me, if he was busy, if he wasn't we'll all because he wouldn't tell me and I couldn't ask!

Although I said I couldn't walk the length and breadth of the base, I did! I was going to be Boo Boo the Fool yet again, and I probably wasn't going to learn from past mistakes- but that's what anger does.

I finally came across Alexander in the gym, sparring with the same guys that Gemini used to train with. I hadn't actually been in there since I got that box from Austin, I didn't think I could. But now, I needed to.

No one spared a glance at me. He'd probably told them to ignore me too. I knew damn well that they all knew I was there.

I watched and waited, Alexander was exceptional at fighting, he was currently up again two guys at once.

Once Pulp called a timeout and threw each of the guys a water bottle, I decided that would be the time to make my move. I tried to appear dominant in the situation, determined to get the answers I deserved, but my tug on Alexander's arm to pull him over to me barely made him budge. He looked down at me with a confused expression- and like that, the power dynamics were once again in his favour; I felt like a child trying to get the attention of an adult. His strength was incomparable.

Alexander held up a finger to the guys he was sparring with, signalling he'd be one minute and then walked over with me to the side- like adults.

"Why are you avoiding me?" I hissed as quietly as I could.

"No need to whisper, those guys can hear you and they don't care," he responded casually.

"Okay, then why are you avoiding me?" I repeated in a normal voice.

"Remember what happened in the car on the way back here, the day before the interview?"

He was referring to the incident where his grip got a little too tight. I nodded, remembering that very well.

"And do you remember what I was like in the medical bay when I was brought back here?" He added.

Again, I nodded.

"I can be like that sometimes now, and I don't want you around to see it. It's embarrassing not being able to control my instincts. I'm training to keep that personality suppressed, yet keep my abilities. I want to fight Austin and to do that I need to be strong." He sighed, "Austin is probably a lot different to the Chace you knew, and that's because of his instincts, but he can keep them under control. I can't do that very well. So I'm sorry if it seems like I'm avoiding you because you did something wrong, I just don't want to hurt you. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."

My mouth kept opening and closing as my mind went into a frenzy trying to pick out what I wanted to respond to first. I was angry, confused, guilt-ridden and even a little embarrassed- all that was a lot for one body to handle.
