Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 314: jealousy

Chapter 314

Kim’s pov

I didn’t need anyone to tell me that I was worked up right now. The large room felt small and like it was closing in on me, and my heart was beating so fast, it was hammering against my ribs. I let out a long sigh and dragged my fingers through my hair, just as a knock sounded on the door of my bedroom here in the demon clan.

I stiffened, mind instantly traveling up Roy because since the moment we got given rooms side by side here, and the fact that he came in here shortly after that to douse the whole place with his scent and to also remind me of the fact that he knew I wanted him but was also running away.

After a few beats passed, I let out the breath I was holding as I reminded myself that Roy wasn’t gonna be coming here, not after he literally told me to come to him if I was certain I wanted him, the sheer audacity of that man!

How dare he?

Boys always eat out of my palm. I was the most desired omega of carnivals for a reason, and I’ve never had to chase before, or make a first move in any situation, it was always the complete opposite and people always begged me to kiss them. For the first time, I gave into a raw urge of mine but he rejected the kiss and asked me to come to him.

How mortifying!

Fuck him to the end of this world!

I stalked towards the door and yanked it open without asking questions and my brothers’ presence greeted me. He was draped in a large top that clearly belonged to his mate, and his blue eyes glistened beautifully. Gone was the boy so depressed, who struggled to eat. In front of me stood one that was brimming with love and looking so good at the same time.

I looked beside him and on finding him alone, I tugged him into my room and closed the door after him, and then I resumed my pacing while Labyrinth walked over to my bed and sank into it, folding his legs underneath him. He remained silent but I knew he was assessing me and trying to pick out the exact problem from thin air.

"You’re angry." He finally stated and I rolled my eyes before turning to face him, hands folded on my hips.

"I’m not angry, dear brother." I informed him but he ignored my snippy response and leaned forward to peer at me even more.

"Why? Is something on your mind?" He asked, a hint of worry in his voice and I swallowed emptily before averting my gaze from his. What the hell was I even supposed to say? Admitting the truth to him was only gonna make this whole situation real and that was what I’ve been avoiding this whole time, which was exactly why I chose to always pretend like nothing was happening this whole time.

"What the hell was that game even about? I know you guys put it up because of Roy and I." I finally spoke and labyrinth had the audacity to appear a little embarrassed, and then he pushed his hair out of his face.

"That was all Blaze’s idea to be honest. Did you hate it that much? I’m so sorry, I should have stopped him." He apologized and I rolled my eyes. Despite everything my dear brother has been true, he was still sometimes too compassionate.

"I’m not angry, Labs." I told him with a wave of my hand and then I sighed, staring at my fingers for a moment before continuing. "The game was just... unexpected."

"What happened during the game though? You returned angry, but also well... aroused." He explained and my cheeks flamed with mortification but I folded my arms and refused to avert my gaze.

"We had a conversation." I explained and he nodded, indicating that I continued.

"And now he’s interested in Archie, and he’s gonna go for him," I spat out the name of the warlock Roy told me he’d be going for, the exact one I disliked with so much passion.

"Hm. And what was your response to that?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"I wished him good luck, I don’t care about whatever he chose to do or whoever he chose to fuck." I gritted out and labyrinth hummed once again, appearing almost amused and I felt like he was reading me more than I liked, and of course it was my fault because all that I was feeling right now was clear across my face.

"You sure you don’t feel anything for him?" He finally asked and I went on a rant about how I actually hated and barely tolerated him this whole time. Once I was done, I stopped pacing but Labyrinth had a small smile on that made me annoyed, and then he spoke next.

"If you really don’t care like you say, then why are you jealous?"

—-

Why am I jealous?

I’ve asked myself that same question countless times but I end up with the same answer over and over again. It was because I was in love with Roy.

But how is that possible? How could I be in love with someone I’ve only kissed once? And do I even know what love actually means?

I might have only kissed him once, but no one understood me like he does, no one saw me like he does, and no one cares for me like he does.

And I hate him for doing this to me, for rendering me to this jealous mess. Currently, across the spot I was having a conversation with labyrinth, Raine cute girlfriend and Raine herself, stood Roy. He was softly laughing at whatever Archie was whispering into his ears, and I’ve never wanted to strangle someone so bad like I presently do.

The rest of the night went that way, with me wishing I could murder Roy and Archie with my eyes.

And also with me fighting an inner battle with myself on if I should go over to his bedroom tonight or not.
