SORAYA’S POVThe pheromones in the air was crazy.I couldn’t even get a good night’s rest. It has been two days since I last saw Khai. I can’t believe he actually did not apologize to me. Just how big was his ego?All I asked for was a simple apology. Now he was making me suffer for it! All he had to do was show true remorse and he could have me in whatever way he wanted.I could easily tell from the way he looked at me the other day that he was horny. He was so driven with lust that I feared he might actually have his way with me regardless of what I said.And I wanted it too.But he just had to be an arrogant son of a-Fuck!Every part of me was screaming. My body craved to be touched, every part of my skin crawled. The discomfort was maddening. It took the very last bit of self control not to storm into his room and take my clothes off for him.If I did that then my words would mean absolutely nothing. He will never take me seriously, instead he would see me as the whore he has alw
KHAI’S POVI can’t believe she rejected me. No one ever rejects me.No one.Even if they did try to play hard to get, one touch and they were already crumbling to their knees to suck my cock.But even with my kisses and touches, she still did not budge. And not just that, there was this coldness in her eyes. One that I have never seen before.I just saved her life. I even took a bullet to the heart for her, but somehow she was still mad at me? I will never understand these women.I paced my room with a bubbling frustration. It was the middle of the night and I found it hard to fall asleep. There was nothing I did not do. I did a hundred push ups in my room, walked around the palace like a damn guard three time to make sure that it was secure.I went back to my office to revise a few of the files on my desk again. I did whatever I could tire myself out but I just couldn’t go to bed.The tingly sensation in my dick wouldn’t fucking let me rest. And no, I can not just go for any woman. B
SORAYA’S POVThe smile that lifted my lips was filled with all kinds of emotions, but mainly relief.I lost all form of control when I threw my arms around his shoulders to hold him tightly. “Oh, thank goodness you are awake!”His hiss of pain had me backing up instantly. How could I forget that this man had taken a bullet to the heart just few hours ago.But still, all I truly wanted to do was hold him and bask in his presence. Because just hours ago I thought I never would again. And that was one of the most terrifying situations I have ever been in.“Sorry,” I said bashfully. “How are you feeling?”“Not as bad as someone who was on the verge of death moments ago should be,” he paused, his gaze locking onto mine. “How did you do that?”My eyebrows knitted with confusion. “Did what?”“Now is not the time to bullshit me, Soraya. You saved me, I know it. And you know it too.” He said, his eyes filled with emotions I couldn’t quite describe yet.My lips pursed as my gaze dropped to my h
SORAYA’S POV“This is a miracle. He is supposed to be dead.”The second I heard those words, tears instantly burst right out of my eyes. A smile stretched across my face as I stared down at his sleeping face.The recurring beeping of the monitor had been my solace before I heard this news. The dread that had plagued my heart has finally been lifted.Back at the field, I still remember vividly. I remember Khai shutting his eyes and drawing a final breath. I remember the ache in my chest that was seconds away from destroying me from the inside out. It was unbearable.I couldn’t take it at all.I thought the worst thing I would ever have to witness is my child succumbing to cruelty the second they are born. But I never knew the death of the man who could inflict this cruelty on my child could hurt equally as much.My hand remained firmly on his chest, praying to feel the beat of a heart. But there was none. During those seconds Khai seized to breathe, I felt an unfamiliar sensation flow
KHAI’S POVTHREE HOURS EARLIERRonan struggled for breath as my hand closed in around his throat. A tear slipped past his eye as he clawed at the hand squeezing the life pout of him.“P-Please, Alpha. I did not mean for any of this to happen. I did not know she would be taken. Please, mercy...”The more he spoke, the angrier I became. All I could think about was the torture Soraya must be going through. And all because of his incompetence.“Your ignorance serves as an additional reason why I ought to snap your neck! You know I have enemies, you know those enemies knew where I would be. And you know they would do anything to get to me, which includes going after her!” I roared in his face as I tightened my grip on his neck.“I will find her, alpha. I swear,” he croaked, his face turning a bright shade of purple. I knew that it would only be a matter of seconds before he lost consciousness. Or maybe even his life.What do I care.I let go of him abruptly and he felt to his knees,
SORAYA’S POVThe ropes were itchy. They hurt my wrists and rubbed against my skin in a way that would leave a rash. My hands hurt from being bound for so long, but it was nothing compared to my feet. We have been walking for so long, I fear I may have blisters on my feet.I overheard Ragnar speaking to one of his men, they were trying to avoid any major road to avoid getting caught by Khai. They were not even sure he was looking for me at all, but they did not want to take the risk.It has been hours since I have been taken and yet nothing. I am just going to have to escape Ragnar myself.Again.But there were at least twenty men with us right now, it was impossible to escape all of them. Guars cornered me from both sides, their eyes hard and focused on the road ahead like they expected someone to jump out and attack us at any moment.The path back to Ragnar’s pack was long. But I recognized the scent of pine and damp air, we were drawing very close to his territory. The thought of re
