Her Alpha’s Secret의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 16

ERENDINA. The stench of sex clings to the air as my orgasm slams into me, making my legs tremble against the solid floor while my heart goes wild in my chest. The scent of my arousal fills every inch of the room along with the noise of my pants, and when Emilian’s head drops, his gaze sliding lower, my stomach tightens at knowing he must smell it—he must know it. “Good girl.” He raises his head again, thumb stroking my cheek slightly, and my lips part, but before another word can roll out, he backs away, taking several steps. “Get dressed and leave.” His quick dismissal should hurt. It should make me feel no less than a whore that’s been used and now discarded. However, in place of embarrassment or resentment, what pumps through my blood is anticipation of what’s to follow this—of the fulfillment of his promise. Especially when his eyes follow as I move to my feet, walking to where I had left my dress. As I slip my clothing back on, I feel the heat of his gaze through it all—scorc

ERENDINA. My stomach drops at that sentence, apprehension curling through me, and I force a swallow through the tightness in my throat as I look back to Dominic. There’s no reaction from him, eyes giving away nothing, and I let out a bated breath before bobbing my head and following the guard. The throne room opens to me, and my step falters at the sight of my father in the middle of it, speaking to a man—a warrior. I blow a breath, reminding myself I’ve done nothing wrong before walking in. As the doors shut behind me, I have to force my feet to keep moving ahead. Once I’m only a foot away from him, I pause, and though I know he’s aware of my presence, my father doesn’t acknowledge it until he’s dismissed the Head warrior, Gabriel. The silence that fills the room after his absence is terrifying, as is my father’s gaze. My tongue darts out to lick my bottom lip, and my hands clench by my sides. He doesn’t speak still, and the tension in my muscles grows the longer the quiet goes

ERENDINA. Still, I continue, “I’m the Alpha’s daughter. You won’t go unpunished.” Something I don’t quite recognize passes through his eyes, but it’s gone before I can register it, and the silence stretches for a few beats more before his touch is gone. He takes two steps back without a word, taking me in again before he turns away. I rush forward the second he’s out of the room, clicking the lock on the door. I fall against it with my hand clenched to my chest, and the breath I’ve been holding the entire time escapes as my head drops back, eyes closing. ‘You’re wolfless. All those rumors, they aren’t true.’ I bite down on my tongue to hold back the sound that leaves my throat as his voice resounds in my head, sinking into my flesh and leaving nothing but ache behind. I fall on my ass as the tears roll down my cheeks, and I stay there for a long time, hating how easy it was for him to figure it out. Hating my existence itself. •FOUR DAYS LATER• I draw the string with one eye c
