Omega's Curse: Desired by the beast who shouldn't want me 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

Hermosa Pov I took a halt while Eleanor's face drained completely of color, fear slowly replacing her facial features.We were suddenly interrupted, and neither of us took notice on time."What is going on here?" His voice boomed through the room, the air slowly coming to life.I was angry, and the mark on my neck still itched. "Care to explain?" I hurled at him, my lips seething with rage. He was surprised by my stance.He ignored my questions, turning to face a frightened Eleanor. She was scared of Rapheal. His eyes glowed menacingly. "Eleanor!" he roared. "This should be the last time!""I won’t allow her to treat me!" I cut him off without permission. He knew what she was capable of, yet he left me with her.The sound of my “no” vibrated around the room. He grinned at me. "I make the decisions around here, not you.""It’s my body!" I stood my ground, and I knew that only infuriated him more because, the next minute, he walked straight to Eleanor without a second thought—as if he

Hermosa POV Somebody help me! I screamed out loud, my head hitting the bed continuously to make noise. There was no answer.The bonds pierced into my skin; the more I moved and the more I stayed, it made me weak. The candle wax was burning low; it was already running out.How long was I chained like this? It felt like hours due to the low burn of the candles.My hair was scattered wildly on the pillow, and beads of sweat curled around the pillowcase."Raphhh." My throat was sore from all the screaming that I couldn't even call out my mate's name.“Surely, Eleanor had gotten her revenge putting me in this state,” I muttered to myself.The silence of the room frightened me for the first time as no one came to my rescue. My eyes were peeled on the door, ears perked up for footsteps.Ahhh, this was even more crazy than I thought. I sure looked crazy waiting on invisible footsteps to save me.Save yourself, Hermosa, for once. My instincts nagged at me. Even I knew that the weight of the b

Hermosa pov With shoulders raised and fist ready, I positioned myself in front of the restroom door, waiting for Echo.This might be my last chance at escape. I had to be smart about it. The maid knelt on the floor like a mannequin, her tears drenching the already–mopped floor.It was better this way. I wouldn't want her to see me beating up a pregnant woman.The door swung open with force, revealing Echo's feet. Her strength was massive for a pregnant woman.“Moon Goddess, if you save me from this, I will stop stripping.” I curled my fist, ready to engage.“You aren’t trying to fight me, are you?” she asked with a sarcastic tone, eyeballing me.“I will if I have to,” I said, not backing down. The sound of sniffing distracted me. The maid had stopped crying.Luckily, my body blocked her out of view, so Echo couldn't see her.“I am here to help,” she approached me slowly.Help—when she was carrying my mate's child? If anything, *murder* should be the word from her lips.Nobody cared f

Hermosa pov Her body lay still on the staircase, unmoving. I swore she was already dead, her pulse was slow.Panicked, I raised up her hands to carry her through the staircase, but I couldn't. Her weight was too heavy for me.The maids hardly passed around here, and the guards were stationed outside the pack, so it might almost be impossible to be able to get help. I wondered how Rapheal always knew I was in trouble if this room was too private, away from wandering eyes.Perform first aid. My instinct nagged at me. I can't, she's pregnant; I might end up killing her baby. I raked my hair in frustration, staring at her body."Why is she on the floor?" Rapheal's voice shook through my body as I watched him from the stairs.He wore a tight shirt that ripped open his chisled muscles, revealing a tattoo, his eyes messy with tousled hair.For a moment, I swore he appeared this way on purpose to incite my desires. "I… I… I… I think she slipped down the stairs and hurt the baby," I said, anx

Hermosa povI moved backwards without looking properly at where I was headed. I knew one thing only. I had to tell Rapheal previously about my encounter with the Alpha King.His intense gaze pierced through my skin as I watched him try to decode why I was fidgety. My breathing was getting more and more rapid, and I knew it was just time before he found out.Yes, I had rejected him and became more powerful, but deep down a part of me still felt that Rapheal was the man everyone thought of.“Why are you moving in that direction?” He pointed to the edge of the bed.I turned back to find that I had almost slipped off the edge and was still going. My feet were all healed up; thankfully, I don't have to worry about running.Does he know what had happened in the hospital? It was my secret, one that I would take to my grave. How would I tell him that I almost kissed my killer and my body was a betrayer?He looked at me with suspicion, but he didn't say anything more, and I did not answer him.
