Call on me

/-Isla-/

One minute I was almost certain that he'd lost control and the next, he moved away from me like I was hot iron.

“I'm sorry,” he apologized. “I shouldn't come off on you like that.”

I was gobsmacked. Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined that Roman would apologize to me.

Yet his dstance gave my brain the much needed space to process everything.

“I'll get you something to wear. Don't move,” he said and walked away.

I couldn't even if I wanted to. This man clearly had no idea about the depth of the effect he had on me.

As I stared at his retreating figure, I couldn't help but wonder how a man who had been so dismissive of me in the past was now so… seductive and possessive.

Was it because of the matebond? I certainly hoped not. I wouldn't be able to survive any more of this torture.

I waited there for him, seizing the opportunity to regain my composure and allow my body to return to normal.

In less than ten minutes, he was back in a dress

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   Lingering Feelings

    Chapter 101Lingering Feelings /-Roman-/I shouldn't care. It shouldn't matter to me if she was suffering or not. The bond was gone. There was nothing tying me to her. This was simply me getting the full dose of my revenge.So what was this void inside of me? Why did I still have the urge to protect her even though she was the daughter of my worst enemy?“Alpha, you sent for me,” Aaron bowed and I sucked in a breath. “I'll be away on a business trip for a couple of days. I want you to look after the slave. Make sure no one lays a finger on her, especially Manda,” I instructed and that stupid look crossed his face again. “Don't get the wrong idea. I want to properly investigate when I'm back and punish her duly.” “I didn't even say anything, Alpha,” he chuckled and I frowned. Is he mocking me? “Then why are you laughing?” I frowned and he shook his head. “Oh, nothing. I just remember something funny,” he responded.I let out a sigh. “Aaron, listen carefully because I mean every

    Chapter 100Behind It All/-Manda-/“And that was how he threw the stupid thing back into her cell…” Liana ended her narration and I laughed. “You are a genius, sis, I can't even lie. How the hell were you even able to pull that off? For a second, I was afraid that something was genuinely wrong with you,” Liana said.I smirked. “What can I say? Roman was so insistent that he didn't want a baby with me. I was very sure he was going to find some way to force me to get rid of it and if he eventually found out I was never pregnant, that would be the last straw.”“Wait, so you faked a miscarriage for a baby that doesn't even exist?” She asked incredulously. “And you didn't even think to tell me?!”“Don't be like that, sis,” I chuckled. “If I told you, what would be the fun in that? Besides, it was a very desperate and dangerous move. As much as he tries to deny it, I know his affection for her still lingers somewhere. The only way to rid it for good is to eliminate her and what better way

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   Detain Her

    Chapter 99Detain her!/–Isla–/They said time stops when you’re about to die. But for me, it sped up.One second, Manda was screaming.The next, guards burst into the room like rabid wolves, knocking over a vase in their panic. The scent of blood hit them immediately, and it changed the entire room. Everyone stilled.“She’s bleeding out!” someone shouted.“Get the royal healer!” another barked. Manda was immediately moved to her bed as the doctors rushed in to try to salvage the situation. I stood motionless near the door, tray still in my hands, like a servant statue, useless, quiet, invisible. Or at least I was, until Liana’s shriek shattered the air.“It was her!” she screamed, pointing at me with eyes wide with fury and fear. “She did something to the food!”My heart stopped. “What?” I whispered, even though I expected it would get that way. It was the only logical conclusion, after all. Manda did give me many reasons to poison her.“She poisoned it!” Liana shrieked. “She’s been

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   Miscarriage

    Chapter 98Miscarriage /-Isla-/My arms ached as I stirred the pot for the fifth time.The heat from the electric stove was unforgiving, and sweat trailed down my back, mixing with the sting of half-healed welts. My hands trembled, both from exhaustion and the burn marks that throbbed where Manda had thrown soup in my face earlier. The skin there still felt raw. I didn’t even want to look at my reflection.The kitchen was quiet except for the occasional murmur of servants avoiding eye contact with me. No one offered help. No one dared.This was my punishment.Luna Manda had sent back four dishes already. Each rejection came with increasing cruelty, dumped over my head, onto the floor, splashed across my chest. One servant even whispered, “She’s doing it on purpose,” before quickly scurrying away. As if I needed a reminder.The Luna didn’t want food.She wanted to humiliate me. Break me. Prove that I was nothing but trash before her. And it was working. I bit the inside of my cheek

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   Suffering

    Chapter 97Suffering /-Isla-/I was discharged sooner than I expected to resume my duties as a slave. Since I was declared a pack slave, everyone practically used me, even the servants. I didn't mind of course. It's not like anything I did would change anything. I didn't have a choice so I just had to obey.I was helping the servants wash the dishes when a guard informed me that the Luna needed me in the garden. Knowing how much that woman hated me, I was certain that this wasn't going to be a very pleasant experience. Even though I wasn't capable of hurting her, she explicitly ordered that I be excluded from the preparations for her pregnancy celebration. I mean, she had my ex-mate, my life, everything, I don't why she still saw me as a threat. My face was not even a thing to look at because it was covered in scars, so there was really no need for her to be so cautious. Despite all she has done to me, I have never for a day considered stabbing her throat with a fork, ripping he

  • Alpha Daddy Is My Step Uncle   A Diplomatic Threat

    Chapter 96A Diplomatic ThreatTWO DAYS AGO/-Aaron-/“Is it yours?” The question made me freeze in my tracks. The Alpha turned to me with an expression as icy as a winter lake.I don't know if he realized it but his aura had intensified so much that it felt like venom. My entire body stiffened, my joints felt so stiff that it felt it would crack any minute.“Alpha…”“Her pregnancy. Is it yours?” He asked again and a cold wave of fear washed through me. Does he know how terrifying he is when he looks like that?Not to talk about the fact that he knew I was sleeping with his wife. “I… I wouldn't dream of planting a seed in the Luna, Alpha,” I told him. “You sure didn't have a problem spreading her legs behind my back,” he stated. I didn't flinch. Not because I wasn't afraid but because there was no malice or anger in his tone. I suppose he already knew for a long time for him to remain this calm. Did he really not care about someone else ravishing his wife?“I… I am sorry…” I gulpe
