Chapter 20: Dawn is Not Yet Morning

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-28 09:53:39

Evening finally came and I found myself reading a book.

I don’t usually read books because the last time I held one, Elodie grabbed it from my hand and smacked it on my face, resulting in my nose bleeding.

Now, sitting for dinner before a roaring fireplace, snow relentlessly falling outside, I never felt more relaxed. I’m reading a love story, not sure how this came to the Alpha King’s possession and gathering dust in this little library. It was about an Alpha who fell in love with one of the daughters of the Moon Goddess, cursed to forget him every single day when the dawn breaks.

Right. Another reason to cry tonight.

But the smell of oranges that Farra included in my dinner along with the snowdrops she added to the vase on my vanity mirror rippled something in my heart. One that I have tried to tell my heart to forget and bury it where I cannot find it lurking as one of my feelings.

But those feelings lingered. Summoned, it

    He smells of lavender and honeydew. He tastes like it too. Kallias held tightly onto my hair, gathering a good amount of strands and gripping them into a fist. My eyes were pinned on his middle and his middle alone. But even when I wasn’t looking up at him, I could paint a vivid picture of his delighted face, hear his delicious moans, and envision his wolf going wild. It was an insane thing to do in the middle of the street—technically beside the cobblestoned street—and in the midst of the vast snow and in the middle of the night. I wrapped my arms around his waist and opened my mouth wider. I moaned around his cock, and the vibrations sent him gloriously whimpering as he fisted a handful of hair in his palms. “Faster, Evadne.” I opened my mouth wider so that his cock grazed the roof of the inside of my mouth. I breathed in through my nose, looking up at the majestic expression of my mate. He was biting his lower lip the entir

    I blinked and gasped, “What?” The word came out barely a whisper, but my heart dropped to the snowy ground. “The cold will not bother us here,” he grinned and waved a hand around us. “It never bothered anyone belonging to a pack. That’s what Rogues can never have, mate.” “What do you mean?” I anxiously blew a breath, my hands started fidgeting. It just made Kallias smile even more. “You’ve been in the Nightblood Pack for days—weeks, correct me if I’m wrong—and the furthest thing your mouth has achieved is when it kissed me hours ago.” He tilted his head like a predator sizing his prey. “Shall I need to say more?” “So you...” I can’t point out what he’s implying. “You want to kiss more passionately?” The Alpha King bursted into a boisterous laugh. “You haven’t even answered my question yet, mate. I asked: ‘Can your mouth be loyal to my cock alone, Evadne?’” I choked on a gasp. “Well...I can,” I answered shyly. “I c

    His words remained suspended in the air as I processed each word carefully. “I thought mother died of childbirth?” “She did...” he sighed before adding, “She also did not.” I scoffed and straightened my back. “For what it’s worth, I think mother dying early is a salvation for her. At least she wouldn’t be able to witness that her precious mate and Alpha and husband doesn’t even have the backbone to protect his own pack.” Stunned, Alpha Marcus’s mouth fell open in a surprised gasp. “You—you think you can now talk to me like that now that you’re the Alpha King’s Luna?!” “Yes.” My lips slowly spread into a smile.“Whatever you do, you’ll never have me back.” I said with unabashed pride. “Not as your daughter or as a member of your pack. You’ve banished me, remember? If that’s what you’re trying to do, then I advise you to turn around and walk away.” I tossed a look at my sister from afar. “And teach Elodie some manners fit for a pack’s Luna

    The Alpha King came to my defense, they say. And he was furious, they say.“What is she to him?” one of them whispered, wondering.Elodie and Alpha Marcus are both wondering the same, especially since that look Kallias threw me definitely meant something. It meant everything.“Apologize to her.” Kal directed his words at Elodie before tossing me a gentle gaze.But my sister shoved me aside and presented herself in front of the Alpha King. I simply rolled my eyes at her attempt.“It was her, Alpha King. She started the fight—she’s always a chaotic mess! I’m ashamed to have a sister like her—”Alpha King Kallias threw her against the wall with a wave of his hand and invisible strength, like how I imagine he threw those enemies he’d captured in the dungeons just by means to torture them.It happened so fast for my eyes to catch. One moment, Elodie was pointing a finger at me, framing me for this ‘chaotic mess’. In the next blink of my eyes, I heard the gasps of the ones around me.My sis

    A set of unannounced footsteps came rushing behind me. A very familiar male’s scent slapped the living daylights out of my soul. “It’s your father,” Mara, my wolf, whispered.And then, someone cleared their throat behind me. I thought it was one of the Alpha King’s guards sent to escort me away from this chaos. But I was met with a slap from a male’s hand as soon as I turned around.A pair of furious eyes and a flaring nose glared back at me. “Which part of my order as an Alpha to never return and show your face to either of us did you not understand?!”I stifled a cry and a gasp. I only stared at him with wide eyes as I clutched my reddened cheeks. “Father.”“Get out of here, Evadne.” His voice now drew more attention. More and more guests now turned to us. Of course, people always lend their ears to drama and gossip. Who wouldn’t?“You’re useless wolf only spoils the crowd of Alphas and Lunas!” Alpha Marcus grabbed my arm to drag me but my glove fell off instead. He looked at it and

    Kallias didn’t see her. I didn’t bother to tell him either.I never want our first kiss to be like this. But Mara and a deep part of me was elated that our first kiss was like this: with a lone audience present, and that audience is none other than Beta Elise.His lips trembled as he kissed me once again. Even when he pulled away and a plume of icy mist escaped his lips as he exhaled, I can see that he’s somewhat...anxious. I lifted my gaze back to the corner, but Beta Elise is gone.I sighed in relief. Running my eyes at him from head to toe and said in a rather casual voice, “You absolutely know how to dress to impress, don’t you?”“I do.” He surveyed my look again. “So are you.”I swallowed. “I...impressed you?”He winked. The Alpha King really now feels comfortable around me, and it made me blush. “Let’s go?” he exhaled, his icy breath cooling my cheeks as he whispered.I smiled at him, one that I hope melts his frozen heart. “Let’s go.”***The venue of the Alpha Winter
