Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 17 : In the Alpha's Den
I approached Prince Leonardo cautiously like I was nearing an injured wild animal. "I told you to go," he said in a rough voice. I gulped down my anxiety and went up to him to look closer at his wounds. Some of them were pretty deep, and there was even a bite mark on his neck and a slash high on his ribcage. "Let me help," I offered, taking the rag from his hand. He clenched it tightly, not letting me have it. He glared up at me and I could see the muscles in his jaw flexed tightly. "Prince Leonardo, let me help you," I reassured, firm but gentle. After an irritated sigh, he released the wet rag into my hands. I didn't know where to start and I didn't want to hurt him.I glanced up at his face to try and gauge what he was thinking but he wouldn't look at me. His eyes were pointed at the ceiling and his lips were now sealed shut.The bowl of sterilized water was warm but already turning pink from the blood. I rinsed off the rag and dabbed it
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 18 : Her Lips On Me
**Leonardo POVShe was tantalizing, but I couldn't trust her. Not after what she did to me. But at the same time, I needed more of her.I wanted to taste her. So I gave her a second chance to change my mind.With my hand on her slim neck, I could feel her pulse beating rapidly. Her skin was soft and dewy with anxious sweat. She quivered underneath my fingertips like a rabbit under a wolf's paw.I scanned her face. She wasn't wearing makeup and didn't need to either. She couldn't hide who she really was merely with pens and brushes. I knew who she was and who she wasn't.Her sapphire eyes were wide with angst, but she wasn't pulling away from me. Her soft hands ran up my chest. Did she really think I was going to choke her to death?Maybe I was being too aggressive, but that's just who I was.Her arms kept tracing my skin.I loosened my grip slightly to see what she would do with the extra freedom.Then, she spoke. "I
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 19 : Brotherly Love?
**Amber POVI'd been a maid nearly my whole life. I'd taken care of others; that was my duty. But, I didn't know how to take care of him.After that embarrassing night, I wasn't able to look at the prince again. Really, a nose bleed at that moment?!I couldn't have let him see me so pathetic, so I ran off before the blood had flowed. Yes, I was scared. I'd never experienced another man inside of me before. But, after being the simple maid–the 'good girl'– my entire life, I wanted to get a little taste of a darker side.But, my body abandoned me. I guess I wasn't ready. And maybe, I'm still not.It had been three days since we last saw each other and I didn't care. Or so I thought.Now, by day three, the loneliness was catching up to me.Whether or not it was because he wasn't with me, I didn't know, but every time I thought of him, my body reacted excitedly.To be touched so decisively, to be held so firmly, to feel protected, it was
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 20 : Competing for His Heart
After a few awkward glances, we all went our different ways. I found a maid who was able to envelope and mail my letter and then I returned back to my room to get my thoughts in order.But, I was interrupted by a knock on my door."Come in!" I beckoned.In came Maia, in a cute little white spaghetti strap dress that flowed to her knees. She had a youthful glow to her.She bowed. "Hi, Your Highness! I hope I'm not interfering with your plans....""Absolutely not, Maia. I'd welcome your company," I assured. Normally I wouldn't mind, but right now I just wanted to be left alone. However, I didn't have the cold heart to hurt her feelings."That's great because I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping for tonight's dinner party!" Maia's eyes were wide open as if expecting a definite 'yes,' but I wasn't so sure about going into town again after what happened last time."I'm sorry, Maia. I'd rather not go out today." Her expression dampened at my decisio
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 21 : Sibling Rivalry
"Your Highness, you wouldn't mind if I had a seat next to my old friend, would you?"Yes, yes I would mind, I thought to myself."Sure, Cami, go right ahead." As much as I wanted to say no, I also didn't want to create any problems. Nor did I want to let the prince know I cared who sat next to him or not."You're such a doll, your Highness." Cami's tone was full of condescension and her patronizing gaze was even worse. Her over-the-top smoky eye shadow looked like it was trying to burn me.I pursed my lips together and continued down towards the only other empty seat at the long, glass dining table. It was next to Prince August. The man I thought I would be marrying. I was now situated next to Cami and Prince August, who was at the head of the table, but the chairs were so far apart it felt like there was an ocean of distance between us.As I approached my new seat, Prince August quickly rose and pulled back the chair so I could sit. "Thank you, your High
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 22 : In His Arms
"C'mon, Your Highness! It's been three days. You can't avoid her for the rest of her life!" Maia, as per usual, entered my room to check on me. After the dinner, which was more of a roasting session, I preferred to keep my distance. Cami's tone when she had said, 'You aren't his first and you won't be his last,' sounded like a challenge, or maybe even a threat. Maia had told me that Cami was the mayor's daughter back in Hoarfrost's main capital and that the girl was well-connected to the Alpha King. Once I knew that, I wanted to keep away from her. Who knew what she would dig up about my real identity. "I'm not avoiding anyone, Maia. I'm homesick, that's all." It was a plausible excuse, and I couldn't have someone as talkative as Maia knowing the real reason."In that case, then, you need to be cured!" Maia jumped up and down excitedly and by now I knew what this reaction meant. She had an idea...."More retail therapy?" I joked, but the memories of trying on twen
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 23 : The Marriage is Over
**Leonardo POVI received a text from Cami. It was a picture of the girl I'm supposed to marry with Jeremiah, who was shirtless. I didn't believe that sh*t from the moment I saw it, but I wanted to know what was going on. The girl looked terrified next to him and I understood this was all to rouse me up. And it worked. I knew Cami was going to stir trouble the minute she got here. Besides just Cami, I was sick and tired of all these goddamned people at my new house. My brother waltzed in here, threw some sort of sh*tty party without asking, and even worse was his taste in music: EDM.Walking over to the pool area, I scanned for my brother. I noticed him shooting the sh*t in a private cabana in the back with a few women who look ready to ride up and down his d*ck.August was always Father's favorite and he knew it too. It gave him the freedom to do whatever the f*ck he wanted, knowing I'd be the one to shoulder the consequences.All because my father coul
Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride Chapter 24 : He's Not Who I Thought He Was
**Amber POVI didn't want him to see me like this.I was ashamed, humiliated, and tired of having a target on my back.I wanted to go back to my life before, as a maid, where no one noticed me. I felt safer that way. Now, I felt so open, vulnerable, and exposed.When the prince came in and saw tears flowing from my eyes, I cowered away from him. It wasn't because I didn't appreciate his effort to save me. It wasn't because I was scared of his proximity. In fact, I wished he was closer. It was because I knew that no matter how invigorating it felt to be held in his arms, to be nestled against his chest, that his actions were out of responsibility, and not out of love. They were out of duty, not out of kindness.He rescued me, but I presumed it was just because he needed me alive for his pack's treaty.We hadn't made an effort to see each other since the dinner and it seemed like we had understood what our purpose was: to co-exist until the we
