The man's hand on my head stopped moving. I looked up at him in confusion. "What's wrong? You can't tell me your name?"The man's eyelashes fluttered. He took a deep breath and asked, "Rylee... Are you joking with me?"I straightened up, sat directly across his lap, hugged his neck, and chuckled. "Let me guess, we used to have a good relationship, right?"The man kept silent as he continued to gaze at me deeply.I snuggled into his arms and sniffed his neck. I was addicted to his smell!"I forgot a lot of things... and that includes you. I'm sorry."Rina told me that he was my lover, but I had forgotten all about him!If thinking on his feet, I was really out of line.I licked and nipped at his throat as though trying to curry his favor and said in an almost whine, "Are you angry? Forgive me, okay?"The man's tense body slowly relaxed, but there was a complicated look in his eyes that I couldn't understand.(Lionel's POV)Rylee was awake!The look she cast my way was so pure and strai
"...I want to prepare you first," Lionel said as he pulled down my pants. "Even if you regret it later, I won't let you go."He sighed and gently caressed my stomach before slowly inching his hand downward. My skin tingled as he dragged his hand across my body, and I squirmed restlessly, subconsciously yearning for more of his touch and affection.His fingers were slender and nimble, dancing lightly across my skin when he suddenly touched the most sensitive spot on my body, and I couldn't help but let out a loud moan as I shuddered.Lionel gently drew circles over the sensitive nub, sending tiny shocks through my body that eroded my sanity little by little."Lionel...!" I whimpered.Before I could say anything else, Lionel pressed his burning lips against mine, swallowing up any other words. The taste of him was so addictive, and I wrapped my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss.He let out a low growl before pulling his fingers away from my clit and replacing it with his hard cock
It was a pretty girl who looked a little thin and out of shape, and she was wearing a faded red dress that looked like it had been dusted with chalk dust.I ask, "Who are you? Have we met?"Shock flashed across the girl's face, and she narrowed her eyes. "What are you playing at? Pretending to have lost your memories?!"She suddenly lunged at me like a madwoman before I could react to her words. I couldn't dodge her assault, and she slapped me in the face!The sound echoed through the room, and my face snapped to the side with a painful crack.I reached up to cover my throbbing face and glared at her. "What the hell are you doing?""What am I doing?" she repeated before throwing her head back and laughing loudly. "It's all your fault! Everything! You ruined me!"I... ruined her?"You stole my man and forced me to become a Slave! When I finally found a man to rely on, you banished him! You caused me to become..." she trailed off, taking a deep breath and grabbing the front of her dress
Cara was stunned speechless. She stared at me blankly as if entirely sure I would want her dead."I..."I didn't know how to decide. After all, I didn't even remember what she had done.Cara crawled onto her knees and sobbed, "Rylee! You won't kill me, would you? You used to be so nice to me... You said I was like family...!""Family?" I repeated the word, but couldn't feel any warmth of it. "If we were as close as family, why would you try to kill me?!""I... I was only angry and confused! I—"Before she could finish, two petite nurses burst through the door. When they saw Cara on the floor, one of them shouted, "Why are you here, Number Seven?!"Number Seven?Oh. So Cara was the Slave I heard the nurses talking about, the one who couldn't pay the hospital bills and would get discharged!The nurses suddenly realized who was in the room, and they shivered at the cold look on Lionel's face."W-we're sorry, Alpha. We didn't keep a proper eye on her. We were going to discharge her—""It
I walked down the stairs and stood next to Lionel. Looking at the handsome young man before us, I asked, "Do I know you?"A bewildered look crossed the man's face, and he reached out to press his hands on my shoulders before asking sharply, "You don't... remember me? It's me, Franz!""Franz?""Enough! Release her!" Lionel coldly scolded, his tone filled with intense anger.However, Franz ignored his warning and wrapped me in his arms instead."Rylee... What the hell happened? Are you okay? Why can't you remember me?"I was about to answer when Lionel suddenly dragged Franz by the back of his collar and shoved him to the ground.I watched the scene in a daze and licked my lips.Lionel was so strong when he was fueled by jealousy! But... he was also incredibly endearing!"I told you repeatedly... Don't touch my woman! If you have so much time on your hands, you should figure out a way to find your own mate!"Lionel said, irritation and impatience clear on his face, looking like a beast w
After dinner, Lionel and I stood side by side in his bedroom doorway, staring dumbfounded at Franz.Franz was humming a song as he made the bed. He placed the living room pillows on Lionel's bed, moved a large comforter from the guest bedroom, and let out a long sigh once he was done arranging everything."You're sleeping with me tonight!" Franz said to Lionel.For a moment, a fleeting thought that this man who claimed to like me actually liked Lionel crossed my mind. Why else would he be so aggressive in wanting to share a bed with Lionel?"I won't," Lionel refused without hesitation, placing an arm around my shoulder, and was about to leave when Franz stopped him.He yanked on Lionel's sleeve with a deathly grip and said, "Don't you fucking forget our agreement!"I shot Lionel a suspicious look, but Lionel averted his eyes.After a while, I heard him let out a long sigh."Rylee... he's a coward, so I'll stay with him for a while. Is that okay?""Who are you calling him a coward?""S
Franz couldn't help but retreat a few steps. He could not go against his Alpha's direct command despite his desperate resistance. Grunting coldly, Franz turned away reluctantly, but he shot Lionel a vicious glare as if warning him of something.Lionel pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing when he looked at the broken door.Even the earlier mood between us had been ruined, so Lionel and I washed up and got dressed before heading downstairs.I was feeling a sense of accomplishment because I had obviously done Lionel's tie.When we came downstairs, Franz was wearing an apron, placing breakfast on the table."Rylee! I've prepared breakfast for you," Franz said with a beaming face as if nothing had happened before this.I glanced across the table and noted there were sandwiches, milk, and some fruit for after the meal. But there were only two portions, so he obviously didn't prepare any for Lionel.Lionel frowned when he noticed, and Franz grunted defiantly."Get your own food from the k
The cook's face paled instantly, all blood draining from her face. She even forgot to swallow her food.My heart pounded against my ribcage, and a million thoughts popped up at once.Did Lionel have another mate before he and I were together?Or did I really wreck someone else's relationship?Or maybe—"Ah! I mean, the woman I met when I was working in another pack!"The cook averted her eyes and quickly explained, "She was very spiteful and arrogant. She pretended to be well-behaved and understanding when Alpha was around, but she would boss us about when he wasn't. She would even whip us when we made little mistakes or when she was in a bad mood.”"Oh, I see... Well, you don't have to worry about that. I will never treat any of you that way," I said with a faint smile. I thought the cook's reaction was strange, but I pushed the thoughts out of my mind.The cook's eyes reddened. "Luna, you're so kind."We continued to chat as we tidied up the kitchen and soon had dinner on the table
