I wonder what has been keeping Cedric away for so long. After he came back this way, I was sure he would have come back up to annoy me. Yet there’s no sign of him at all. The guard this time is a woman, and she hasn’t looked at me once, yet remains firmly stood near the only stairway down out of this place.
I wonder why Cedric picked a woman this time? He used male guards before, right? Or did he not put any thought into this, and I’m just speculating about things? He said I smelled divine, right? Maybe that’s why? Is she already mated? Is that why she isn’t a risk?
I shrug and look absently out of the window again. I can see some of the pack members wandering around outside, enjoying the sun. Yet here I am, stuck inside. It’s nice to have more room, but this isn’t the same as being allowed to be out in the sunshine.
I sigh and sit on the windowsill casually. I might not be allowed outside, but I can at least enjoy as mu
By the time Cedric has returned, it’s almost late evening. He looks exhausted, and I half expected him to go straight to bed without bothering to see me. However, to my surprise, he pokes his head into my room and offers me a small smile.“Sorry,” he says, his words quiet. “You’re already eaten and everything, right? I wanted to make something for you, but my duty took more time than I was expecting.”I shrug. Although I try so hard to pretend I’m not bothered by his absence, the truth of the matter is that I am bothered. I’ve not stopped thinking about him and that woman, and I can’t understand why.“It’s not like I’m your mother,” I responded coldly. “Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to shower so I can get ready for bed,” I tell him without looking at him too much.I don’t hear a response at first and assume he has left without a fuss. However, I
With my beloved's consent, I led Kai back to my room. He is as flustered as always, yet his body subconsciously seems to know that we’re destined to be together. I hope this is a sign that he’ll realise the truth soon.When that happens, I hope he will accept me and we can go through the mating ritual with no issues. I’ll continue to be patient until then, but I wonder if he will let me go all the way with him before then.So far we haven’t and I haven’t forced him into anything. Making sure he is comfortable is the most important thing to me. Even though my body yearns for it all now.As soon as we get to the bathroom, I release his hand and turn the shower on. If he wishes to change his mind and go, then now is his chance. I won’t force him to bathe with me, but if he stays and doesn’t protest, then I’ll take it as a sign that he is fine with this.I glance over my shoulder to study his expression. He look
I can’t believe I said that out loud! I had wanted to distract him and myself from what I feared might be inevitable sex but instead of something profound, I claimed my hidden desire so bluntly! Now he will assume I want to fuck him! What if he sweeps me away like a tidal wave of desires?Blushing hotly, I avoid eye contact for the longest time until I can no longer ignore my curiosity. Cedric hasn’t said a word in response to my outburst, but why?When I find the courage to meet his gaze, he has this look on his face. I can’t tell if it is smugness or amusement, but he looks like he is holding back whatever it is.I divert my attention away from him, flustered and unsure of what he is thinking. I’ve known no one that can make me feel this way before. It is almost like he is a tornado that has swirled into my life and left me in an utter mess of emotions.“S-say something…” I mumble. My heart is pounding so hard in my chest that it feels like it might explode. His silence is driving m
I look upon my mate as he flounders with his words and what he wants. I know the bond is already there, but it isn’t so strong that he has caught on yet. That he wants to have ‘fun’ with me is a step in the right direction, but I’m not sure if he is ready for me to spill the beans yet.As I’m debating on my options, he distracts me with a passionate kiss. I can’t miss this opportunity to accept his lips, as who knows when he will go back to being cold towards me. I pray that doesn’t happen, and this is the start of him figuring out that we’re destined to be mates.Once he ends the kiss, I can’t help but find myself in the mood to do more to him. However, he looks over my body as though he is trying to debate with himself. I don’t want him to think he has no choice but to please me, so I gently brush his wet hair away from his cheek.“We don’t have to do anything else if you’re still un
I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would suck a man off. Yet now that I have Cedric’s cock in my mouth, I can’t seem to get enough. I had briefly assumed I could make him melt in the same ways he could manipulate me, but that smirk of his told me otherwise.Even at this moment, he was the one in control. He was the alpha and I, his obedient little omega. It didn’t matter if I wanted to reclaim my title. To him, I belonged to no one else except him.That thought gave me a reason to pause. Was I really so obedient? Did I want to admit that I was now his? Of course not! And yet… that scent of his. The hint of sandalwood entering my nose drives my desires higher.I want more than just this.“You’re getting better,” Cedric murmurs. I can’t help but feel a little happy with his praise. I would have never in a million years thought I’d like to hear a compliment come from him. It makes me want to do
As soon as the morning sun hits my face, I feel every ounce of embarrassment wash over me. I hate how easily I give in to that man. Although he never went all the way with me, he still made me moan and writhe under his every touch.I wish I could vanish under a rock and never come out again. However, I’m not so lucky. I’m stuck here in this place. No wonder my body and mind have gone mad. I need to get out of these four walls and get some fresh air. That would bring back logic to my brain.However, I am ever the prisoner here.I feel Cedric’s arms pull me into his hold, and I don’t fight it. Wasting energy on futile things is no longer something I can be bothered with. If he wants to hold on to me, then fine. I’ll endure it. He’ll only get his way in the end, anyway. Right?I steal a sneaky glance at him from behind my hands and blush even more. Why do I keep finding him so handsome? I should hate him. Loath him for all
I almost cannot believe my eyes. Kai is out of the packhouse and wandering around in the gardens. Though he isn’t alone, which means I can’t speak to him. I’m honestly surprised Cedric has allowed him outside of that room. Is this a sign Kai has submitted to his rule finally?As I sneak closer, I study Kai’s expressions. He doesn’t look obedient to me, but he doesn’t seem like he is ready to flee. He must be biding his time and hoping to get some freedom before he can plan our escape. I’ve gotten a better lay of the land outside of these walls, which means if we attempt a getaway today, he would need to rely entirely on me.While doable, he may want to wait longer. Especially given that Cedric hasn’t left him alone at all. There’s no way we can escape with him nearby. Even if we ganged up on him, he is a formidable foe and can rally his pack against us. And I know my Kai would prefer to escape without bloodshed.It feels like Cedric will never leave Kai’s side, as they spend almost an
I’m glad I could get all my work done quickly today. I wish I could have taken Kai with me so that he could learn how I do things around here, but I didn’t want to risk him to the others who have yet to find their mate. That no one has tried to jump him yet is only because of my quick thinking. I’m not sure what surprises me more. That my mate ended up being Kai, or that an alpha can also smell so good. I assumed only omegas could go into heat. Or females who have found their mates… but another alpha? I spot Kai close to where I left him and hasten to be beside him once more. I almost want to kiss him in the open, but I can already tell by the scowl on his face that such an act of affection will not be appreciated. Instead, I stand as close to him as I can physically get without Kai rejecting me outright. “Did you enjoy being outside?” I ask with a small smile. I’m sure he would have preferred more freedom, but for now, this is all I can give him without risking someone from my pack
