Semua Bab Fated to my One Night Stand: Bab 141 - Bab 150

~Axel’s POV~I had no idea what I was doing here.Absolutely no idea. But I couldn’t bring myself to leave and so maybe it was better to just admit it to myself, as much as it wasn’t something I would have ever imagined doing, that I had come here to talk to someone who couldn’t hear a single word I was saying.That was what I had come to do.And since I was still here, I sucked in a breath and went ahead with it.“I don’t know if she has introduced you to him yet.” I turned Asher’s small sleeping body toward King Roland’s equally still one even though unconscious was the more accurate word, though sleeping was kinder. “But this is Asher.”I didn’t know what I was expecting. I felt slightly ridiculous, standing there in his room with my son against my chest talking to a man who couldn’t respond, but the feeling passed quickly because it turned out that once you started, it was not as difficult as it should have been.“I know you wouldn’t be happy with me for what I did. For walking a

~Axel’s POV~If one more person stepped in here and asked me when Amber was coming, I swear I would commit murder.And the universe must really be testing me because the second that thought landed, the door to the grand hall opened and another Alpha stepped in.An irrelevant one at that, might I add because I had no idea what his name was and had no particular interest in learning it. Alpha Irrelevance took a sweep of the hall, his eyes landing on me for a second longer than necessary, unease moving through them, before he looked away and opened his mouth.“The Queen is not here yet? When will she—”“Unless you want to leave here without that tongue,” I cut in, speaking for the first time since I had taken my seat, “I suggest you do not finish that sentence.”Every eye in the hall cut to me.I kept mine on him and watched him swallow hard before quietly relocating himself to a seat well outside my line of sight.I let the moment stretch long enough to make its point before I continue

~Axel’s POV~“Tell me you are joking.”I already knew I was going to regret this. I had already regretted it the moment I got on the jet but I had left anyway and come here, to sit across from this idiot who was currently laughing in a way that had not shown any signs of stopping.“Are you done?”“Do I look done?” He laughed harder at that.“Zane.” I snapped. “Stop it. I am not in the mood.”“You are never in the mood, Axel.” He picked up a fry. “But fine. I will stop.”A waitress appeared at the table just then, her smile professionally warm and directed at approximately one person at this table and it was not Zane.“Can I get you gentlemen anything else?” Her eyes stayed on me a beat longer than the question required.“No.” I did not look up. “If I need anything I will send for someone.”“Hey now.” Zane pointed a fry at me as she walked away with considerably less enthusiasm than she had arrived with. “Don’t go transferring your anger onto the poor woman. And I would like to be welc

~Amber’s POV~The words landed in the corridor and just sat there and I did not know I found it funny until I was already laughing.“You did what and you are what?”He opened his mouth and I cut straight through it.“Please do not answer that. And with even more pleading, just go. I am not in the mood for this right now and I will not ever be in the mood for it.”I turned again and this time he stepped directly in front of me.I will admit there was a small flicker of amusement. Just a small one. And then it was gone.“As you can see, Ian, I am holding my child.” I kept my voice completely level. “I would like to put him down to rest. So step away from my door or I will have you physically moved. Do not test me on that.”His eyes moved to Asher then.It was like he had only just registered that I was holding him. That he existed. Something moved through his eyes, anger, brief and sharp, there and gone in under a second before his expression settled back into something softer.“I genu

~Axel’s POV~Irritation.Annoyance.Aggravation.Displeasure sharp enough to have a texture of its own.I couldn’t think of another word to qualify the feeling, but that was how deep it was running through me, and it immediately combusted the moment his irritating scent hit me the second I returned and tracked the one person I needed to see, the one person I knew I needed to talk to, and maybe — maybe — she would curb the irritation that Zane’s stupid words had left simmering under my skin, on top of the fact that I still had no plan for how any of this was supposed to last long term.And then my eyes had seen them following the found of his voice and his irritating words. I hadn’t thought.No.I had done exactly that. Thought, deeply and with complete clarity, about all the ways I wanted to murder him and decided on the simplest way to start by getting his hands off her. Why was she even letting him touch her?And worse than that not saying anything against his bullshit words?All o
