All Chapters of BOUGHT BY THE ALPHA WHO DESPISES ME : Chapter 221 - Chapter 227

Mila’s POVThe room fell silent. The King’s raised hand never reached me. Strong fingers had wrapped around his wrist, stopping him with effortless ease.I looked up and it was him. The tall black-haired leader demon.He stood between me and the King without a hint of fear. The King narrowed his crimson eyes.“What does this mean, Lord Vaelor.”So that was his name.Vaelor.He released the King’s wrist slowly and bowed just enough to remain respectful. “My King.”The King’s expression remained unreadable. “You interrupt me.”“I do.”There wasn’t an ounce of apology in his voice. “I hope you’ll forgive the discourtesy.”The King’s lips curved into a faint smile.“Give me a good reason for your attitude.”Vaelor glanced back at me for the briefest moment before facing the throne again.“I’ve taken an interest in the human pet.”I blinked.What?The King raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”“I’d like to take responsibility for her and keep her”The room grew quiet. Even Supreme looked toward Vaelor

Mila’s POVSomething was warm. Comfortably warm. I hadn’t woken up shivering like I always did in this hellhole.I frowned sleepily, but now I was warm, which was… unusual. The pillow beneath my cheek was surprisingly firm.It even rose and fell with a slow, steady rhythm.My eyes snapped open. I wasn’t lying on a pillow.I was lying on Vaelor.One of my arms was draped across his chest, and somehow, during the night, my carefully constructed pillow wall had collapsed onto the floor.I froze.No.No, no, no. Very slowly, I looked up and Vaelor was still asleep.His breathing was even, his expression calmer than I’d ever seen it. For someone who always seemed alert, he looked almost… peaceful.Then his eyes opened and they met mine. For exactly two seconds, neither of us moved.Then I practically launched myself off the bed.“I wasn’t cuddling you!”My face burned red “I moved in my sleep!”Vaelor sat up, blinking once before looking at the pile of pillows scattered across the floor.“

Hansel’s povI lay back on the rumpled sheets of my bed, heart racing as Conrad’s body settled over mine. He had pushed me to the bed after our intense kiss. The room was dim, lit only by a single lantern flickering on the nightstand, casting warm shadows across his broad chest and the hard planes of his abdomen. “Been thinking about this all day,” Conrad murmured, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers straight to my core. His hand slid up my thigh, pushing my nightgown higher until it bunched around my waist. I was bare underneath, already wet from the way he’d kissed me earlier, powerful and fierce, like he owned every inch of me.I arched into his touch, my breasts straining against the thin fabric. “Then stop teasing and fuck me, Conrad.”He grinned, dark eyes flashing with hunger. In one swift motion, he yanked the nightgown over my head and tossed it aside. Cool air kissed my skin, making my nipples tighten into hard peaks. Conrad’s gaze devoured me lingering on my full b

Mila’s POVThe moment Lady Vesper, the instructor, clapped her hands, the chatter inside the hall gradually died down.“Ladies,” she announced with a warm smile. “We’ve covered etiquette, household management and court protocol.”A collective sigh of relief spread through the room.I wasn’t the only one. Good.“Now,” Lady Vesper continued, “we’ll discuss one final custom before today’s gathering ends.”I leaned toward Sera. “Please tell me it’s about desserts.”She smiled into her teacup. “I’m afraid not from the books I’ve read.”I slumped in my chair. “Of course.”Lady Vesper gestured for everyone to listen. “As noble ladies, it is important to understand courtship traditions.”Several women immediately straightened.Some even looked excited. I, on the other hand, wished I could quietly disappear beneath the table.“The demon realm has always valued strength.”She paced slowly across the front of the room.“Because of that, affection alone has never determined who stands beside a no
