Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 178

MONICA.With that, Deimos walks over to me again and stands over my body, his head positioned above my face. I thought he’s going to hold me down again, but instead he leans over and plants a kiss on my forehead.A soft, gentle, sweet kiss.I feel his lips press against my skin, soft as a whisper and just as fragile. It feels like an assurance and an apology combined, and to my utter surprise it starts to stir something within me in an instant.My knees feel weak. My arms just sag against the ropes like jelly. I stare ahead, dazed, as he pulls away and brushes strands of my hair away from my face. I struggle against my bounds again, crying and sobbing and shaking with a mix of emotions whirling in my chest.Meanwhile, Deimos is approaching the cabinet again, but this time he’s opening a bigger compartment. It’s hidden and locked, and the only time he managed to open it is by touching the lock.It gives way with a sharp click. Deimos pulls the drawer open and slides his hand inside. T

MONICA.“NO!”A scream leaves my mouth, so loud and so hoarse that my vision spins. Black spots start to dance in my eyes, but I don’t care.The last boost of adrenaline from my defense mechanism kicks in, and it’s enough for me to break through my restraints and dodge Deimos’s bite.His teeth clack on thin air. And when he lifts his head again, I notice that his eyes are bloodred – he’s overcome by bloodlust. His look is dazed, animalistic, like a wild predator whose only concern is to feed.And that’s when I realize that this is the mating ritual he was talking about. He’s going to actually mark me like Roman did long ago.“Stay back!” I yell at him as he slowly approaches me, his hands snaking around my wrists “Come any closer and I won’t hesitate to kill you!”“This will be quick, sweetheart,” he croons, his long incisors giving him a slight lisp. He looks at me and that wild animalistic look intensifies. He’s like a lion stalking a prey, or a snake coiled to strike. “Don’t shy aw

MONICA.“Bring her back to the bedroom,” Deimos orders, motioning the men to take me.But I keep staring at the young man, who’s the only one who’s not looking at me with lust. In fact, he looks like he’s afraid. I don’t know if he’s afraid of me, or what the men around him are asking of him. Either way, he looks like he just wants to get out.I want to look him in the eye so we could communicate something. I feel like he could help me out of here. But of course, that’s just an idea. I want to look at him first, to know if he’s really against this or not.But he doesn’t look up at me.And the men walking with Deimos are now grabbing me by the arm, throwing me back into the room. I fall on my knees, and I instinctively wrap an arm around my belly. I don’t want my baby to be hurt.It’s harrowing that this is what we have to go through. I’m starting to really think about what they plan to do to me, and the more I think about it, the more it gets fucked up.So this is what they want. To ma

MONICA.I just feel his weight being lifted off me like it was nothing, and when I open my eyes, I find Gabriel there in the room, grabbing Deimos by the collar and throwing him against the wall. Deimos falls to the ground, getting up like nothing happened and kicking Gabriel in the stomach.But Gabriel retaliates with a punch that splits Deimos's lip. He spits blood on the ground and tries to fight back, but Gabriel seems to be much stronger and more solid. He seems to be more determined to win this fight too.Before I can do anything, Gabriel grabs Deimos by the neck and slams him to the ground. I can hear Deimos's head cracking, and I thought that this must be the end of it. We both wait for him to get up but he doesn't move.He must be dead. I hope to all the gods that he is indeed dead.Gabriel tries to pull me to the door but then Deimos gets up and lunges at him, tackling him to the ground and straddling him. He punches Gabriel in the jaw and he groans, but he bucks off Deimos a
