Chapter 4

As I sat in my room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation wash over me. Vanessa's words had hit me hard, and I knew that she was right.The alpha king had brought me here to use me as a means to an end in his quest to break the curse. But as much as I wanted to hate him for it, I couldn't deny the pull I felt towards him as time passed. The way he looked at me made my heart race, and every time he touched me, it sent shivers down my spine. I knew I shouldn't feel this way, but I couldn't help it. 

One night, as I lay in bed, the alpha king entered my room. I could feel his presence even before I saw him. He walked towards me, his eyes burning with intensity. He leaned down and kissed me, his lips claiming mine. I couldn't resist him, and before I knew it, we were locked in a passionate embrace. 

"Amelia," he growls, his voice rough with desire. "You belong to me.

He took control, his hands exploring my body as he pushed me back onto the bed. I moaned as he moved down my neck, leaving a trail of kisses in his wake. He slipped off my nightgown, revealing my naked body to him. I felt exposed and vulnerable, but at the same time, I was excited by his touch.

 He caressed my breasts, his thumbs brushing over my nipples. I arched my back, seeking more contact with him. He chuckled and lowered his mouth to my breasts, taking one of my nipples into his mouth. I gasped as he sucked on it, his tongue flicking over the sensitive bud. He moved his attention to my other breast, giving it the same treatment.

I moaned and tangled my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer to me. He moved his hand between my legs, rubbing my clit with his thumb. I bucked my hips, wanting more. He slipped his fingers inside me, his thumb still working my clit. I cried out as I felt my orgasm building. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he pushed me over the edge with ease. Afterwards, as we lay tangled in the sheets, I couldn't help but feel conflicted. I knew I shouldn't be sleeping with him, but at the same time, I couldn't resist him. And as time went on, we continued to have a sexual relationship.

After some time I realized I was pregnant. As the days went by, I could feel myself changing. My body was going through strange transformations that I didn't quite understand, and I knew that something was happening inside of me. Vanessa's words echoed in my mind again, reminding me of the alpha king's intentions for me. I had been brought here to bear his child, to break the curse that had been haunting him for years.

At first, I was in denial. I didn't want to believe that the alpha king could be so cruel and callous. But as time went on, it became increasingly clear that he saw me as nothing more than a means to an end. I was just a tool for him to use, to break his terrible curse.

Despite all of this, I couldn't help the strange feelings that I was experiencing whenever I was near him. It was like my body was betraying me, responding to him in ways that I couldn't explain. My heart would race and my skin would tingle whenever he was close, and I couldn't help but feel drawn to him.

It wasn't until I felt the flutter of a new life growing inside me that the shocking truth dawned upon me. The alpha king, the same cruel, indifferent,  most dominant and elusive werewolf, was my fated mate - the one I had been seeking all my life. As my belly swelled with the promise of a new generation, the stakes became higher than ever before. 

I had heard stories about the way that werewolves could recognize their mates through a deep instinctual connection, but I had never believed it until now. It was like every cell in my body was screaming out for him, telling me that he was the one that I was meant to be with.

But as much as I wanted to believe in our bond, I couldn't ignore the reality of our situation. The alpha king did not love me, and he showed no signs of ever developing any sort of emotional connection to me. 

I waited patiently, hoping that he would realize the bond that we shared. I longed for him to see me as more than just a vessel for his child, to see the potential for love and companionship that existed between us. But as time went on, it became clear that this was never going to happen.

I didn't tell him that we were mates. I knew that it would be pointless, that it would only serve to further complicate our already complicated situation. Instead, I kept my feelings to myself, questioning what this meant for me, my unborn child, and the alpha king

Despite everything, I couldn't bring myself to hate him. The alpha king was cruel, wicked, and domineering, but I could see glimpses of the man he could have been. I knew that there was more to him than the ruthless persona that he presented to the world. But even knowing this, I couldn't help the fear that consumed me.

I didn't know what the future held for me and my child. I didn't know if I would ever be able to escape the alpha king's grasp, or if I would be doomed to spend the rest of my life as his prisoner. All I knew was that I had to keep fighting, to keep hoping for a better future, no matter how impossible it seemed.

As I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, I couldn't help but wonder what my life would have been like if I had never met the alpha king. Would I still have been able to recognize him as my mate?
