All Chapters of Alpha Kian and His Captive Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 37

~Nyla~I thought I had a sexy dream. I was tossing and turning in my bed, unable to catch a wink. The pendant was sitting on the nightstand. I hadn't dared to wear it yet. Kian's blood would sustain me for a few days before the withdrawal symptoms kicked in again. Walking to the window, I slightly cracked it open to let the night breeze in. Even at almost midnight, there was still some activity down below. Kian was supposed to be back around dinner, but I didn't see him return.As I was drifting off to sleep, thinking about him, I heard someone jump into my room by opening the window wider. The scent of his earthy smell hit my nostrils as he lay next to me. Wrapping his strong, muscular arms around me, he crushed my body into his broad frame, claiming my lips and nuzzling his head into the crook of my neck. All I could manage was a moan, asking him to keep kissing me and not stop hugging me."You are back to smelling like rain and raspberries," he said and took in my scent some more. "

Driving my car into the dry, deep sand, I slammed on the brakes when I couldn't believe my eyes from afar. All my pack members seemed to be walking into the ocean like mindless zombies.What the hell was going on?I rushed toward them in a frenzy and used my alpha command to halt them. It didn't work.A hauntingly sweet melody seeped through the air, filling my senses and compelling me to find the source of the song. Nyla...!Was it really her?Her face remained unchanged, as was her upper body, now exposed. A wave of anger washed over me as I watched her reveal herself to everyone.The special look I thought she had only for me wasn't meant for me after all.
