The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 58: True emotions
Sanctums: An inner room in a holy place such as a temple. While Xavier and Elliott waited at the outer court of the temple, Mia and the priests proceeded into the sanctum. Until today, Mia didn’t know they could be so many in the temple. The younger priest cracked the door open to what Mia suspected was the examination room, and she and Marco, the older priest made their way inside. At the centre of the room was a small bed stretched out. A stringed pole that lifted it a few feet above the ground held it up. There were thick chains on both sides of the bed which would hold still whoever was in bed while the examination took place. There was a tall stool beside the bed, almost the same height as it. On the stool were a few bowls, one holding scissors, knives, needles, and a silver tube. The second bowl held clean water and a bottle in it, and the third bowl appeared empty. Her heart skipped at what she just saw and immediately regretted agreeing to this. To say this scared her was
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 59: Playing with fire
Mia stepped towards the First resort, the largest restaurant in the capital, at the heart of the city. The resort was a getaway site where most nobles could come to and have a good time. According to Elena, they had some of the best foods and reception and though Mia had grown up at the capital all her life; she didn’t know this. Mia had looked forward to meeting Koz and Elena since his return from Klean, but she hadn’t had the luck until a week ago. She gave him a late welcome and suggested showing both him and his wife around. But it turned out they knew the capital better. Despite being born and raised in the capital, he had to move to the west after he became the alpha of his pack. Once in a while, he visited and stayed a few days along with his lovely wife. They both made a perfect matching pair for alpha and Luna. Since the places Mia knew the nook and cranny of were limited, she asked Elena to pick a place she thought would be perfect and she had. Mia informed the alpha ki
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 60: Getting burnt
“Or what?” she demanded, glaring daggers at him. Her grave audacity made him boil. Yes, he was being protective, but it was for good measures. A few days ago, he had received an anonymous threat letter directed at him and the queen, and that had made him double the guard around the palace. He had increased hers as well and although there was a scowl on his face when he did; she said nothing. No, he wasn’t scared. He could protect himself from any attack, but he was scared for her. He didn’t want any harm coming to her while he figured out who could be behind the threats. What kind of King would he be if he didn’t do everything to protect his queen? A few names came across his suspicious radar. Elliott Ainsworth was first on the list because the snake was deceitful and sly ever since they were younger. Xavier knew that despite being slow to speak and act, he was vicious and unpredictable. They never liked each other, and they never hid that fact.
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 61: Surrender
The lust that brewed in Xavier’s eyes as he beheld her shook her to the core. She wasn’t his type. She was neither fair nor beautiful. Yet, he stared at her body with so much desire; she shuddered from the inside out. She felt cold being naked to his gaze, but the lust and desire in them had warned her up. He lowered his face to stop hers, keeping their gazes locked on each other the entire time. At the touch of his lips, her eyes fell close, too taken by the feel. She had dreamed and longed for more of him, more of his kiss, his touch, his caress, for so long and she would finally get it. He kissed her slowly, flicking his tongue over her bottom lip and then nipping at them. Her lips parted as she longed for more from him. He didn’t give her more. Instead, he traced her lips and pulled them between his teeth and sucked them lightly. “Your lips taste so good for what you say with them sometimes.” He moaned and trailed kisses over her jaw, down her neck.
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 62: Scars of the past
Two things crossed Xavier’s mind when he took Mia to bed. One, there will be a lot of change from now and two, there would be no going back. He didn’t want to go back, not when he stared at her and saw the much need and desire she had for him. She submitted to him, without fear or hold backs. She was so responsive and he needed her. He needed to have her, feel her walls around him, clenching him hard, pulling him along with her until they were both spent. Taking her would consummate their union and seal their bond as husband and wife. It also meant she would become his Luna, and he asked himself if he was ready for that, if he could trust her. There had always been something he could trust in them and even now, behind her lustful gaze, it showed. He could trust himself with her. And so he did, surrendering and reaping nothing but satisfaction. He collapse on the bed, “Catch your breath. I still want more.” His raspy voice informed her, and she didn’t object. He took her again,
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 63: The error with trust
Hours later, Xavier cracked the door to the study open and stepped inside. He would carry on with the day as if nothing happened. Something did. His heart was crushed, but he had to hold his head up and move on from all of it. It would be for the best. He gave the guards instructions to not bother him unless the matter at hand was an urgent one. He picked a new book from the shelf titled: You And The Three Stars. It looked like an interesting book, and he needed to keep his mind preoccupied. If he succeeded in clearing his mind, then he would try to figure out what to do with the threat letter he got. He flipped the pages open and took a seat to read the first page. It was a brilliant book, but sadly, it was a romantic one. He didn’t put it down, though. He kept reading how Ivan lost Tomi to the three stars. It was a pure case of negligence and he wished he could see Ivan and tell him how dumb he was for not seeing all the signs To
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 64: Understanding the change
The ray of the sunlight peeking through the slightly parted window flickered on Mia’s face. She moaned and twisted a little in bed before parting her lashes and becoming conscious of her environment. Her brain felt hazy while she tried to wrap her head around the events that took place last night. It seemed blank. Yet, something told her so much had happened. She swam her hands on the bedsheets, and they ran over her naked body. Then it hit her. It wasn’t a dream. She had given herself to the alpha king, and he had taken her. He had claimed every part of her. He also took her surrender, and she took his. She turned her head to the other side of the bed. But Xavier was no longer there. She didn’t expect him to be. He took her to punish her and seeing him would have been awkward. She didn’t want to think about it, but she was certain he had moved on from it and already marched into the next conquest like she knew he would do. That thought made her heart sting a little, and she groane
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 65: Not love
She stayed silent, pondering over what he just revealed and when her alluring amber eyes finally lifted, she asked, “Does that change anything in our agreement?” It changed everything. From their bond to their needs and vulnerabilities. The first union amongst married couples wasn’t just mating, it meant they will give out a part of themselves, leave themselves vulnerable to the other party. Mating was an act of vulnerability, as it was of control and dominance. He trusted her enough to be vulnerable with her, but she didn’t do the same with him. That was what drove him away and the reason he kept off. He knew that wasn’t what she wanted to hear and so he shook his head. “No, it changes nothing. Take a walk with me.” he stretched his hand out to her, and she reluctantly took it. “When I was little, I’d hide out here whenever Edward and I played.” He said, pointing to the path that led to the forest outside the palace. It now had a palisade for protection of keeping intruders out an
