Kicked Out I Unlocked My Ultimate Boss Mode novel Chapter 108

108 A drunken confession.

Leilani.

“Kael…?” I seethed, taking a step back when his fingers brushed against my face again, and I watched silently, stewing in rage when he tilted his head to the side, his eyes shining with drunken glee as he slurred;

“Yes, mate?”

That word. That stupid word stirred something in me, but pushing it down, I drawled; “Why are you here?”

That seemed to momentarily snap him out of his daze. He flashed me a grin- one that I found too genuine to belong to someone as terrible as him- and stumbled backwards to lean against my wall. “I came to see you.” He said, crossing his arms over his chest whilst watching me intensely.

The way his eyes travelled along my body felt strange. It put me on edge and made me feel things that were too stupid to name.

My eye snagged on his face one more time, and after reminding myself that this was Kael… Kael Stormborn the dunce, I shook my head. “And you’ve said that before…” I pointed out, scrunching up my nose in disgust when he hiccuped.

He pushed himself slowly off the wall, smiled at me again when he almost fell, and muttered; “It’s important.”

And hey guyssss, I know a majority of you would hate me for saying this, but looking at him like this, with this carefree expression on his face, and with all traces of his signature arrogance gone, he looked innocent and handsome.

Very handsome. 2

He looked like the boy I had developed a crush on at age twelve. Like the lanky teenager with gleaming dark hair and beautiful eyes who always made my traitorous heart flutter.

But he was no longer that boy.

And with that thought hammering at the back of my skull, I glanced away, blinked away the sudden tears now pooling at the corners of my eyes and muttered; “You can’t talk to me like this. You’re drunk.”

“I can.”

“Kael, I need you to call your brothers. I need you to leave-” I began to say but stopped when he suddenly grabbed my shoulders with so much force, I nearly stumbled.

Something akin to regret flashed across his features for a very brief moment before he sunk his head into the crook of my neck.

And goddess, I shouldn’t react to that. My body shouldn’t respond to something as stupid as that.

But guess what? It did.

And it did so freaking badly.

Heat rushed to my face when his warm breath tickled my neck, and his lips, warm and soft pressed against the spot between my neck and shoulder.

Like this, I vaguely remembered that that was the spot he would’ve marked if we had ever accepted each other as mates, and that thought in itself made my cheeks flare

with more heat.

I coughed loudly.

“Kael…”

“Mhmn?”

“You need to go home. You stink and you’re drunk and I do not wish to talk to you right

now.”

At the sound of my voice, he pushed away from me and looked down at me with eyes so pure and so intense that my knees buckled. His eyes ran down the length of my body, and I do not know how he managed to notice the bruises around my wrist because next thing I know, he was grabbing at my wrist like it was something vile, his face twisting into an ugly emotion as he spat;

“Who did this to you?”

And that… that snapped me out of whatever jazz he’d done to me. That forced my brain back into my skull because it seemed like I was already losing it only moments ago.

My eyes followed his to peek at the so-called bruise he was yapping about, and rage so intense immediately coursed through my veins when I realized what it was.

I plucked my hands out of his hold and seethed; “It’s none of your business.”

“It is my business, Leilani.”

“It’s not!”

“Why?”

“Because you did that to me! Because you and your brothers get off from inflicting me with so much pain- and I mean that quite literally.”

He frowned, his brows furrowing as he glared between my face and my wrist. “I don’t understand what you mean!”

“Oh, come on now, Chelsea! Come the fucking on!” I growled, turning away from him to plant my hands on my head. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, whilst hoping that by the time I opened my eyes, he would be far from here… that he would be gone.

But when I opened my eyes, the bitch was still here. He was still watching me closely… he still had that confused expression on his face and that angered me.

I screamed; “Because you guys fucked someone last night, and I am sure as hell that it is Chalice!”

At that, he blanched. He paused to stare at me like I’d just sprouted a second head, his eyebrows twitching with confusion… and was that mortification?

He murmured; “We didn’t…”

“Oh, just stop that shit! Stop trying to lie to me. I have bruises all over my body to back up my claim.”

“But we really didn’t!” He snapped, now looking more frustrated than confused.

So if you guys didn’t do it, how come I’m this battered? How come I woke up this morning completely covered in bruises?” I seethed, and I hate that my voice shook when I said that. I hate that my emotions made my tone come off as hurt and sad… not angry.

And I hate that he was looking at me with regret… with pity. And those were two emotions I hated more than them.

He shook his head slowly and whispered; “I don’t know.”

I hissed. Because tell me what else was there to do besides hiss at the absurdity of it all.

I rolled my eyes, berating myself for thinking I could have a conversation with a drunk and spat; “So why are you here? What’s so important that you had to come here to talk

to me about it?”

Kael froze for a moment but quickly shook himself free from whatever trance he’d fallen into. I watched with thinned eyes as he slapped his body as if looking for something hiding somewhere in his suit.

When he still wouldn’t talk or show me whatever he was looking for, I rolled my eyes again, turned to pick up my bag, and was just about to walk into the house when he called out excitedly;

“I found it!”

I stopped, turned around and nearly froze when I saw him clutching a red envelope in his hands. It was just medium sized and was intricately designed with curly golden lines tracing its edges… and overall, it looked beautiful.
