บททั้งหมดของ Mated to my Enemy Alpha King: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

AVERYHis eyes, wide and round stare back at me while his hand gestures at me to do something. I can’t make sense of it. I think he wants me closer, or maybe, he wants me gone.“ Don’t. ” I murmur, again and again and again but they pay no heed to it.My words mean nothing to them tonight. When I try to get them off with my hands, a push sends me flying in the air.The world spins as the window becomes smaller in my view. When I finally hit the floor, something cracks, and choked screams erupt from my mouth.A sharp breath, and then nothing but an endless abyss of pain. I gasp, my eyes shooting open to meet the familiar black pants and a muscular thigh. For a few moments, I blink and breathe deeply to regain my senses.My trembling fingers touch the side of my head. When nothing wet touches them, I swallow and sit up, only to have a hand weave into my hair and pull my head back.“ Was it sweet? ” The pair of grey eyes, intense and piercing, stare back at me.“ Huh? ” I blink again.“

AVERY“ You seem to be in a bad mood, Draven. What happened? ” I grin while walking ahead of the brooding man.I was surprised to find him waiting for me outside the throne room as if he was really serious about becoming my guard. But, at least, it’s amusing to see him following me everywhere like a shadow, all the while burning holes in my back with his eyes.“ Don’t push your luck too much. ” He scoffs after a small pause.I enter the hallway that leads to the main hall for the women and he is still behind me. “ Good for me, I don’t believe in luck. ” I hum, folding my hands in front of me and straightening my spine. “ It’s purely your luck that Leister took a liking to you and let you off the hook. ” He murmurs like a sulking child.I halt in front of the golden doors and turn around to face him. His brows lift to his forehead in a silent gesture for me to explain why I have suddenly stopped my dilly-dallying.I search his face for any hint of realization or awkwardness after cal

AVERY I have seen the darkness in life. A kind of darkness that can blind a person. I experienced it when Aleister locked me in that room but it didn’t scare me. The pitch-black darkness in front of my eyes now is far scarier than any of the previous encounters. I push my hand forward. The terrifying lack of light clings to it and in a moment, my arm disappears from my sight. Even the light behind me can not illuminate whatever this place is. Shaking my head, I quietly pull my hand back. Maybe, this is some twisted practice room for Aleister. It can be possible, given that I saw him manipulating the shadows in the throne room earlier. Every Lycan King has some inherited power and the control over darkness seems to be Aleister’s strength. All that detective work for nothing. I release a breath, turning around to leave before I get caught. Right when I manage to take a step forward, a faint voice sounds from the open door. My brows furrow. It can’t be possible for someone to be i

AVERY I can feel myself growing dizzy. The worst that can happen in this situation is fainting. I don’t want that. I would hate to have someone tending to my wounds, such deep penetrative injury while I am out of my senses. It will bring back a sense of panic when I wake up. That’s why I stop struggling and not because I am afraid I will rub myself over him every time that I try to move away. Aleister keeps his one hand placed on the side of my waist, holding me down while the other works on digging into my flesh. Sharp pain stings my insides, but I keep quiet, focusing on the memories of the sea that was left behind, and the anger I feel towards Aleister. “ Just a little more. ” He repeats in a comforting tone. It’s like he is trying to tell me to hold on. Well, I don’t need that comfort after he did this to me. But, it’s not completely bad. His touch is soothing. At least, the destined sparks are. They overpower the pain, forcing me to focus on how my skin tingles under his

ALEISTER “ What’s wrong? ” I ask the Healer after he steps away from her. Earlier, when I was done wiping her body clean, she just fainted into my arms. This made me sure she was only pretending to be strong and not in pain when in reality, she is seriously hurt. “ The Princess is weak because of the blood loss. After some rest, she will recover fast. ” The Healer informs nervously, his gaze flickering towards Draven. “ That’s it? ” I cock my brow. “ Yes, My King. Princess will make it. ” He nods hurriedly. I can detect the fear in his eyes. He is wary of me, like all others in this kingdom. But I have never bothered to care about it before like I am doing right now. “ You can leave. ” I try to sound soft but my voice remains stoic and cold. The Healer gathers his stuff and rushes towards the door. Draven steps aside to give him way when he pauses suddenly. He turns to me. “ My King… ” Noticing the reluctance in his posture, I look at him. “ What is it? ” “ I don’t know i
