บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Wife, The Lycan King's Obsession : บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

Gianna paced her room. Her mind was racing. Her hands were shaking.She could not stay here. Not with this threat hanging over her father's head and not with Kael out there waiting for an opportunity to strike.Maybe Nolan's palace was safer. At least there she would have guards. Protection. The full force of the Lycan King's authority between her and anyone who tried to take her.She stopped pacing and looked at the window.On a random day Kael could show up here. He could break through the gates. He could take her before anyone could stop him.The thought made her stomach turn.She walked to her wardrobe and pulled out a bag. She started packing. A few dresses. Her warmest cloak. The essentials.She would leave tomorrow morning. She would go to Nolan. She would tell him everything and let him decide what to do.She finished packing and set the bag by the door. Then she sat on the bed and tried to calm her racing heart.Tomorrow. She just had to make it through tonight. Then she woul

She ran past tents and fires and rogues who stared at her in confusion. She did not know where she was going. She just knew she had to get away.She turned a corner and slammed directly into something solid.She stumbled backward and looked up.Kael was standing in front of her. His arms were crossed and his expression was murderous."Going somewhere?" he asked.Gianna's heart dropped. She tried to run but he grabbed her arm and yanked her back."You tried to escape," he said. His voice was deadly quiet."Let go of me.""No."He dragged her back toward his tent. Gianna dug her heels in and tried to pull free but he was too strong.When they reached the tent he shoved her inside so hard she stumbled and fell to her knees.Kael followed her in and slammed the tent flap shut behind him."You made a mistake," he said.Gianna stood and faced him. "The only mistake I made was not running sooner."Kael crossed the space between them in two strides. He grabbed her by the shoulders and slammed

Then he released her suddenly and she fell to the floor gasping for air.Kael grabbed the front of her dress and yanked. The fabric tore. Gianna tried to pull away but he grabbed her hair and dragged her toward the bed."I will make you crawl on your knees for me," he said. "For mocking me. For thinking you could escape. For every insult you just threw at my face."He threw her onto the bed. Gianna tried to scramble away but he grabbed her ankle and pulled her back.He climbed on top of her and pinned her down with his weight. His hands went to what was left of her dress and tore it further.Gianna could not struggle this time. He was too strong. Too heavy. And she had nothing left to fight with.He positioned himself between her thighs. His hands were rough. Brutal.Gianna closed her eyes. She tried to go somewhere else in her mind. Tried to disconnect from what was happening to her body.Then a thought crossed her mind. A desperate last attempt.She opened her eyes and looked at him

The next morning Gianna woke to the sound of the door unlocking. She sat up quickly and looked toward the entrance as a woman walked in carrying a tray of food. She was young, maybe twenty-five, with ginger hair tied back in a messy braid and sharp green eyes that looked at Gianna with pure disdain.The woman set the tray down on the table with more force than necessary and some of the soup sloshed over the edge of the bowl."Eat," the woman said, her voice cold.Gianna stood from the bed and walked to the table. She looked at the food - bread, soup, water - simple but adequate."Thank you," Gianna said.The woman sneered. "Do not thank me. I did not do this for you."Gianna frowned. "What is your problem?""You are my problem.""I do not even know you."The woman took a step closer, her eyes hard and angry. "You do not need to know me. You just need to leave.""I would love to leave. Unfortunately your king has other plans."The woman's jaw tightened and she grabbed the bowl of soup

Gianna agreed and thanked her greatly. "I will not forget this. I promise."The woman nodded and left without another word. Gianna returned to her room and waited. She paced the small space, counting the minutes in her head and trying to keep her breathing steady.After an hour Red hair came to signal her. She opened the door quickly and looked at Gianna with sharp eyes. "It is time. The guards are training and I told them you were asleep. I am off to keep the king busy now."Gianna nodded. "Thank you."Red hair grabbed her arm suddenly, her grip tight. "Do not play games with me. Do not get me implicated in this. If you get caught do not mention my name. Do you understand?""I understand. I promise."Red hair let go and stepped back. "Then go. Now. Before someone notices."Gianna did not wait. She seized the moment and ran. She slipped out of the room and moved quickly toward the edge of the camp. Her heart was pounding so hard she could hear it in her ears. She kept her head down an
