Semua Bab Forced To Bear The Alpha's Son: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Nikolai.From the moment Vena appeared at the top of the staircase, the room ceased to exist.I had stood through countless ceremonies in this hall and endured endless political performances.None of it had ever moved me.Until she stepped into the moonlight.My breath hitched before I could stop it.Vena looked… No word felt sufficient.Beautiful was too simple.The silver gown clung to her showing her soft curves. Her red hair glowed beneath the glass dome, burning warm against all that silver, and for the first time I noticed not merely that she was strikingly gorgeous, but that she could ruin a man’s concentration.Mine.The realization irritated me as much as it enthralled me.I could not look away. My heart, a traitorous thing, struck hard once in my chest, then again.As she descended, I saw the tension in her shoulders, the effort it took her to hold herself composed beneath so many watching eyes.She was frightened, I could smell it.And yet, there was dignity in the way she c

Vena.The night air outside was cold.I wrapped my arms around myself and walked farther into the garden beyond the ballroom terrace, trying to stop the hot tears that kept coming despite how fiercely I fought them. They slipped hot and angry down my face.I hated myself for crying.Hated Esme for making me feel small and worse hated that most of every cruel word she had said was true.“Do you ever not cry?”I stiffened and turned.Nikolai leaned against the garden entrance, one shoulder resting lazily against the carved archway as if he had been standing there long enough to watch me cry.Even in anger, my breath betrayed me, because he looked devastatingly handsome.His hair had loosened slightly from the frizzy air, and somehow that made him look even more dangerous and I hated that I noticed.He stepped into the garden, looking around with mild disdain.I frowned, the garden was lovely, moonflowers blooming, marble fountain glowing pale, roses heavy with scent, but Nikolai hated it

**18+VenaNikolai kissed me like I meant something more to him and I found myself falling more and more into his arms.He pulled back for a second, his fingers wiping over my cheeks and pushing my tears away.“You taste so good.” He said softly, his eyes looking down at me as his fingers found the strap of my lingerie and slid it off my shoulders as the cloth fell to my feet.“So fucking beautiful.” He whispered to me, as I stepped away from it, suddenly feeling shy standing bare in front of him and I tried to hide myself by pulling my hands in front of me but Nikolai caught my arms and pulled it away.“No…dont hide yourself from me.” He said gently as he leaned down to kiss me again, this time filled with possessiveness but a strange gentility to it, then he took off his jacket and loosened his tie.He lifted me into his arms in one swift motion, both legs at the side of him and he walked towards the bed.His lips didn't leave mine and with my legs parted, I could feel the wetness a

VenaFor the first time in years, I woke up without fear clawing me out of sleep.No nightmares, just the warmth of the morning sunlight spilling through the curtains, bathing the room in a yellow glow as I blinked awake slowly beneath the heavy blankets. For a few seconds I simply lay there, confused by the unfamiliar peace sitting inside my chest.Then I felt the weight of an arm around my waist.Nikolai.The memory of last night returned all at once, heat rushing through me as I turned my head carefully toward him.He was still asleep beside me.His dark hair had fallen messily across his forehead, and without the cold sharpness he carried while awake, he looked less terrifying and dangerously beautiful.My eyes drifted lower, to the tattoo stretched across the left side of his chest.I had noticed it before, but never this closely.The koi fish was elegant and fluid, its body winding across his skin in delicate black ink with hints of faded crimson near the fins, almost as though i

VenaThe moment I realized I was dreaming, dread flooded through me.No.No no no.I had tried so hard to stay awake.After dinner I had forced myself to remain downstairs with the girls until they left. Even after returning to my room I had sat by the window for what felt like hours, watching the dark forest beyond the mansion and praying exhaustion would not win.But it always did.The worst part was that this wasn't really a dream.It was a trance. My body was back at Thornmoon Pack, but my spirit and soul had been transported elsewhere and this time it was what looked like a ruined castle.And I knew what was coming next.Vampires who marked humans could infiltrate thoughts, project themselves into dreams, bend the mind until sleep no longer felt safe. And now I was here again.I stood in the ruins of an ancient castle, the air cold and thick with decay. Cracked stone walls towered around me, vines crawling through broken arches, it was darker because there was no moon in the sky,
