The Beast And The Blessed

Chapter 86

Eighty-Six: Natalie

Natalie's P.O.V.

The door had barely shut behind me when my temper got the best of me. He had no right! King or not!

I spun around on my heels and pushed it open, almost hitting Killian in the face. His hand gripped the edge of the door, and he looked down at me just as shocked as I was. I quickly forced down the feeling and glared at my mate.

"You owe me an apology!” The guards all shifted, and a maid down the hall slowed with a caddy of cleaning materials in her hands. I didn't need the pack link to know they were concerned for my safety. Killian had killed people for far less than my tone. But he was my mate. But I knew Killian wouldn't physically hurt me.

I forced myself to stay strong and kept my glare on Killian even though I felt like I was crumbling inside.

"I was coming after you." He said as a bewildered look crossed his face, sounding as if the idea that he would be chasing after a woman confused him.

"You can be mad about your mother. I am too! But you do not get to take your anger out on me!" My finger shoved into his chest, and he looked down at it. "Forget that I am your mate! Set that little fact aside for right now. Me, as Natalie, do you love me?"

Killian let out a growl, looking up at me with hurt in his eyes and making my next breath that much harder to take in. He nodded but answered as I raised an eyebrow at him, "Yes."

"Do you trust me?" I felt powerful as he answered me without hesitation. He didn't have to answer to anyone if he didn’t want to, and he usually wouldn't. But he answered to me.
