Redeemed by the Ruthless Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]“Evan…”His name escaped from my lips when his kiss trailed down my jaw and to my neck. I squirmed at the pleasure of his lips on my skin. The tingling feeling was so hypnotizing. His scent intoxicating. My hands were on his firm chest, kneading on the fabric. His body pressed gently against mine as the hunger and his desire started to burn me alive underneath him.We forgot our purpose and why we were in that room. My heart and mind were distracted by the movement of his lips on my neck. My eyes were closed as I breathed in the air, filling my trembling lungs as I savored the amazing feeling of his big hands exploring the skin underneath my white shirt. There was something in Alpha Evan’s touch that made me want to yield to him. Not about the sparring but to the sweetness of his lips as he blessed my heated body with the delightful touch of his passionate kiss.To my surprise, Alpha Evan removed his shirt and his naked chest exposed, making me whimper. I didn’

[Holly’s Point-of-View]“How did you know such things?!”The sour-faced maid answered, “I accidentally heard it. I was her maidservant remember?!”So that was the reason why she hated me so much! She was the Alpha’s former mate’s personal maid and must have loved serving the lady. Now, I understood why she had a bad feeling for me on my first day in the Edgerton Manor. She wanted her lady to be the Luna of their pack and after her lady disappeared, it was indeed aggravating that the Alpha found a replacement fast and easy.I wanted to know more so I stayed. I forgot that Beta Kian was waiting for me in the lobby.“I have heard the Alpha killed Lady Cindy because he got jealous of someone.”“Jealous!? But Lady Cindy is a good woman! There is no way she could be involved with someone else—”“What are you two doing here?”The two maids almost jumped out of surprise when Beta Kian suddenly appeared in front of them with a grave look on his face. It was the very first time I saw the Beta n

[HOLLY’s Point of View]But when he saw the terror on my face, his hands loosened around my neck and I gazed at me with sad eyes. I panted, cold sweats formed on my forehead as I flinched away from him. Blood drained from my face as I watched him drop his look on the floor as if he regretted what he had doneAlpha Evan shook his head gently and threw something at me. I caught it in my hands and saw a small red box. Emotions mixed in my chest as I opened it and saw a necklace with a precious ruby pendant that glinted from the light of the sun escaping from the windows. I was confused about why Alpha Evan’s behavior was so complicated and confusing. I didn’t know if I should be scared of him or admire his generosity.“Stop asking nonsense questions, Holly,” Alpha Evan uttered, his voice still upset, “And whatever you heard from people around you, it isn’t true. I didn’t kill her.”The sadness and anger in his eyes brought guilt to me. I knew I should be angry at him for almost choking m

[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]After that encounter with Alpha Evan’s sister, all I did was stare at the ceiling and feel the necklace on my fingers. I still couldn’t believe that Alpha Evan would give me something very important to him. Did it mean that he trusted me completely?I wanted to know more about Alpha Evan but his sister seemed busy and said she couldn’t miss all her appointments. The Edgerton siblings were busy persons but I understood that it was never easy to run a huge pack like Blackwood. My mate was lucky to have loyal people around him like his sister and Beta Kian.“Lady Holly!”The door opened without someone knocking and I knew it was Beta Kian. His huge smile was the first thing I saw when he entered my room. I pulled myself from the bed and wondered if Alpha Evan was already in the manor. I was so eager to see him. I wanted to see him and tell him I met his sister yesterday and about the necklace—-“Beta Kian, is the Alpha here?” I asked him and my heart started beati

[HOLLY’s Point-of-View]Alpha Evan released me and made a few steps away from me. His eyes didn’t leave my baffled face. As he dropped the pieces of my cellphone he broke in his hands.“Was it Alec?” His voice sounded upset, “Did he call to check on you after one of his men tried to kill me?”I frowned, “Do you think Alec has something to do with what happened this morning?” I asked, shocked at the Alpha’s speculation, “Do you think he could do this?”Alpha Evan’s face calmed as he looked at me. He looked tired as well. Be bounced a little when he slumped himself on the edge of my bed, “I am not one hundred percent sure but if he is indeed behind what happened today, I guess I have to drag him to the Shifter’s Council for more questioning.” Alpha Evan looked at me gravely and I knew it would be a terrible matter for Alec’s pack if the council found proof against him, “I think he just won’t stop until you are back to the Ivory pack.”I shook my head a little, doubting that Alec would c
