Semua Bab His Regret: The Alpha King Wants Me Now: Bab 61 - Bab 70

MONICA.I snatch my wrist away from Roman. "What do you mean it doesn't exist? You mean you can't connect me to anyone in your land? Is this even enough for me to come back?""Well, there are many dead lines that we could trace you back to...." He trails off, blinking rapidly. "Wait, what? You want to come back?"My patience is wearing thin. I rub the warm skin on my wrist like that will make the tattoo disappear, but of course it won't. Roman just watches me, and I can't help but be annoyed. He basically forgot everything I just said.As though feeling my annoyance and at least having an idea as to why, Roman exhales. "The whole plan is to let you come back to your world and forget. The mark complicates that, yes. But if you still choose to be free, then you can have it."I don't say anything. I just stare at him."Look." He rubs his face. "I always knew that you didn’t want to be mates—""This mark confirms that we're mates, right?" I ask, my voice low. "That's how this thing works.

MONICA.At first, I’m not sure if Roman is seeing it too. The eyes look like small red stars, which can look like glares reflecting off a something shiny. Something that isn’t there.But then Roman pushes me behind him, and before my eyes, the red dots just multiply until I can count about a dozen of them, gleaming in the dark building.“Roman, why are they here?” I ask in a small, fragile tone, frozen behind him. “I thought they only exist in your world. Surely they didn’t come here because of us….”“I’m pretty sure they came here because of us,” he corrects me, his honesty making my heart drop to my stomach. “I don’t know why, and I don’t know how. I have never heard anything about them doing this. Hell, even Wolves aren’t really allowed here in the Human world. But I know that we need to get the fuck out of here.”Suddenly I’m reminded of that one night when I got out of work and saw the same exact pair of red eyes in the alley. I open my mouth to tell him just that, but then a low

MONICA.I know that I should be relieved by the news, but I’m not. I try to sidestep Janus and just get out of there, but he catches me by the arm.“Don’t.” Janus holds my gaze. “It’s not safe for you out here. I know about the presence of the Creatures. It’s best if the two of you come back with me.”I shoot Roman a look. I know that he’s the one who told Janus about the creatures. I thought Roman would just brush it off, but he really seems to be… shell-shocked. His eyes are just pinned at the distance.“Everything is well now,” Janus explains. “Five more guards have been infected while both of you are gone.”That’s the only time Roman looks up. “How is that a good thing?”“Well, it proves that Monica is not the one behind any of it, your Grace,” he says respectfully. “The people who have been angry… they’re not anymore. They believe that it’s some other force at play. It would be better for both of you to come back. To prove your rule as a couple.”A couple. I want to scream. If on

MONICA.August thinks fast, even though my brain refuses to work at that very moment. He grabs my arm and pulls me back, but even then, he’s too late.Corrin looks up and spots us. His beady eyes go wide, shifting from the guard to me. Something seems to click in his mind, making him realize that he’s been caught and he has nowhere to go.And with a speed that I didn’t know he has, he gets to his feet and lunges at us, shifting into a gray wolf midair.A scream gets stuck in my throat. I still feel August’s force behind me, but it all falls apart when Corrin lands on top of us both, breaking our connection. I fall forward, rolling off the side of the hill and landing next to the mangled guard.His blood is soaking into the soil, making the grass sizzle. The smell emanating from his body is insane, a mixture of burning flesh and metallic blood, with a tinge of something putrid like he’s rotting from the inside out. I scramble to get back on my feet, looking behind me.“Leave her alone!

ROMAN.Monica's statement is like a drug to me. Suddenly, lust fills my veins and I'm as hard as ever, like all the bad things from the past hour or so never existed.Right now, it's just me and her.Things are happening fast. My need is getting stronger and stronger as I kiss her again, feeling her arms snaking around my body. She opens her mouth, challenging me, slipping her tongue in my mouth and tasting mine. A moan escapes her lips when I suck on her tongue and end it with a soft bite of her lower lip."Lie down," I murmur, dragging my lips down to her neck. "Lie down and let me see you.”Monica doesn't need to be told twice. With a sweet kind of obedience that shoots straight to my cock, she spreads herself on the bed, tossing her robe to the side. She parts her legs, treating me to the view of her pussy, reaching down to show me her pink slick folds."Taste me," she says, still looking into my eyes as she dips a finger between herself and starts to rub her sensitive bud. "I wan
