《THE ALPHA WHO SAVED ME WITH HIS MATE BOND》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 20 章

AstridI returned to my room, flustered and confused. I had been so sure that we were finally going to... well. And then Magnus just pulled away, like he’d been burned. Groaning in frustration, I paced back and forth in my room, trying to make sense of it all. What was going on with him? Why did he keep pushing me away? And why did I still want him so badly? No matter how sad and depressing my life was, I never thought this would be my relationship with my mate.I sat on my bed wishing he had only been an ordinary man. Maybe a farmer or something. That way, we’d be ordinary people who just lived together− happily. I was sad, very sad. No point in denying that. Goddess! I groaned again as I fell face down on my bed. I got up and paced for what felt like forever, before I stopped pacing and looked at myself in the mirror. My cheeks were flushed, my eyes sparkling with unshed tears. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down, telling myself it was just the bond making me feel like shi

MagnusI tried to focus on the papers in front of me, but my mind kept wandering back to her. Astrid. The one person who had ever managed to get under my skin. She was like a thick glue. She stuck to my mind like a second skin and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. I couldn’t believe it. I, Magnus, the Alpha, the most powerful wolf to have ever walked the very Earth, was obsessed with a woman.And not just any woman, the very one I had vowed to not have anything to do with. Why had I kissed her though? My lips tingled and my hands instantly moved to feel them. I could still feel her soft lips. I could taste her and I didn’t like how my body was reacting to the thought of her. I missed her. I missed the feel of her skin on mine, the taste of her lips, the way she had melted in my arms so perfectly− like I was the only one made for her.But that was the problem. She didn’t love me because she wanted to. It was all the damned bond. Just the same way it was the bond making me feel all the

Astrid After all the other maids left, I still had some work to do so I stayed back to finish it up. Samantha had wanted to stay with me but she was famished so I forced her to leave and go get herself something to eat.But just as I was finishing up my tasks, a young stable boy, no more than ten years old, came running into the stable, his face smudged with dirt and his hair messy. He was adorable, with big brown eyes and a mischievous grin.He reminded me of Axel. I quickly pushed the thought out of my mind. It was a happy day. No need to dampen it with sad memories.“Hey miss. “ He looked up at her with a twinkle in his eyes. “Can you help me wash up?” He said pouting and it almost made me laugh as he didn’t need to look cute to get me to do his biddingHe was already so cute.“Okay, young man.” I said whilst taking his hand.The little boy smiled a victorious smile and I smiled too cause he was really cute.“What’s your name?” I asked him.“Alex.” His reply was almost instant lik

AstridMagnus refused to leave the room, his sultry eyes fixed on my disheveled appearance, flustering me.“Where have you been all day?” he queried in a deceptively soft voice.“Who says I was anywhere else other than my room today?” I asked but he went on like I hadn’t even spoken.“And why do you smell like horse dung?”I tried to speak again, but he raised a hand, effectively halting me. Then stepped forward and ran a hand through my sweaty hair.“Fascinating…” He murmured then dropped his hand and turned towards the door.“Where are you going?” I blurted out before he reached it, my voice slightly shaky with fear.“Well since you’ve refused to answer my questions, I shall have to extract my answers from somewhere else.”“No!” I snapped, rushing forward to latch onto his hand. “Listen…”“No,” he replied, trying to shake my grip off.“I just had a really fun day,” I sputtered, gripping his fingers tighter and reaching up to pull his face down so his eyes could meet mine.“Astrid? G

MAGNUSShe was beyond furious, her emerald green eyes wide with rage, her mahogany waves wild and unruly; she had deep, red rims around her eyes, and her skin was pale with exhaustion like she hadn't slept a wink all night, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from her and her disheveled beauty.To me, she had never looked more captivating. And I didn't even try to pretend I wasn't gawking at her."Why aren't you answering me?" She snarled upon my silence; her complete lips, usually as red as crimson, were dull and slightly cracked."You think you can ignore your way out of this!?" She yelled again; her voice as shrill as a loud whistle. "I am done letting you treat me and everyone else like we are beneath you!" She continued, jabbing her fingers aggressively on my chest.Oh, but she looked like a rose in full bloom, and I was a short minute away from sighing dreamily at how breathtaking she was…my wife, she was my wife!Her eyes suddenly narrowed but not with anger or fury; it was with s
