CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN

Rohan's pov I drove all the way to his house while racking my brain for new ways to attempt this conversation. We have been through so much together, I don't know why he would turn around and do this. It was like a huge slap in my face. I got to his door and I knocked, I heard his feet shuffling and the door opened. He took one look at me and said. "Oh, it's you" he said flatly. I looked back to check if there was someone being me but there wasn't. He was talking to me. He kissed my mate and he was feeling nothing. "What do you mean by that?" I asked him as I stepped into the sitting room. "I just meant that it was going to be typical of you to show up on my doorstep, I figured you came to talk about what happened in the restaurant between Avilla and me?" He asked. "Yes and who did you think was knocking? Avilla?" I asked. He didn't answer but the look in his eyes showed me everything I needed. He wanted her so bad. "Why did you do it?" I asked him. He shrugged but didn't answer, I was getting fed up with his nonchalant attitude when he spoke again. "I was testing to see if she felt anything for me" he answered. His answer left me bewildered. "I am sorry, let me get this straight. You were testing to see if my mate who I specifically told you to stay away from would have feelings for you after you kiss her?" I asked. "Yes, that's pretty much it" he said casually "ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!" I roared. He jumped then, dropping his phone. He knew if it came down to violence that I was faster, smarter and stronger than he ever would be. So he has every right to be scared. My muscles were tense ready to kill him if he tries anything. "Rohan man, calm down" he said as he looked around nervously. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you now" I told him. "Because I am your best friend" he said. "Not after this, you are. My best friend won't kiss my girl just to test if he has feelings" I told him. He seemed to digest this but when I thought he would apologize, he didn't. Instead he just came right up to my face to talk "I saw her first in the coffee shop, so what if she is your mate? You rejected her, remember?" He reminded me. "So that's what this is all about? A need to have my mate to yourself because you saw her first? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND?!" I raised my voice at him. "No but I was there for her when you were not" he reminded me again. He was hitting all the nerves but I wasn't going to let him know that. "Get out of my face" I told him. If he kept saying those things to my face the he really was forcing me to react in the worst possible way. "Or what?!" He taunted. "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FACE!" I screamed at him. He smirked at me, still standing there and I reacted like everyone would have. I sent him flying across the room with my fist. Serves him right for not heeding to my warning. He wheezed till he stood on his feet again, charging at me. I dodged him. He was really stupid to think he could go against me in a battlefield. I have been training all my life, I have mastered the moves and when he was going around town chasing skirts, I was training as usual. "You must be a fool to think you could challenge me" I told him. He charged at me again and this time I had him in a headlock. "You must be a bigger fool to think that I would let Avilla go" he wheezed as I had him in a chokehold. I was pissed, my wolf was pissed and Ragnar had no problems with killing Ben right now. He seems him as a threat and frankly, so do me but I was willing to let him go. I let him go and gave him another punch on the face, he staggered back and I threw another one till he was on the floor. I was far too gone with anger. "Stand up and fight me!!!" I taunted him. "You want my mate but you can't take me on?" I continued. He looked at me with anger and hatred in his eyes and charged at me again, this time hitting me straight on my stomach. It hurt but other than that he hit so weakly "You call that a punch, I bet she can hit better than you." I said as I punched him right in the gut. I didn't wait for him to recover, I just kept punching him till he went down and even then I couldn't stop. It was only when he called it quits that I did. "S...stop!" He said weakly, raising his hands a little. I stopped and looked down at his form laying there on the ground so weakly and pitiful. I got off him and issued my last warning to him. "I warned you but you didn't listen, you of all people should know that we wolves do not give chances with our mates and knowing how much I have loved the idea of getting someone, going after Avilla should have been the last thing you ever thought of doing to me in this world but apparently I think our brotherhood meant so little to you. So I am going to say this just once, if I see you close to me or mine again, I wouldn't be lenient next time you do that". He groaned I response but I was already out the door and driving away from his house...
