Semua Bab After He Chose My Adopted Sister, I Bought A Wilder Beast: Bab 1 - Bab 10

It was the first time I'd heard Lucas speak. His voice was extremely hoarse, with a rough, gravelly texture."I need a release," I said, looking him straight in the eye.His arms, hanging at his sides, tensed. "Don't...""Hmm?"His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard. He let out another low grunt. "This isn't how you get a release.""You're my first, so you'll have to endure it," I ordered.I shoved him onto the large double bed. Leaning down, I kissed my way down his chest, following the path of a knife scar.Lucas still had that rough mask on his face, his hands locked tight in the cuffs. He lay there stiffly, completely at my mercy.His muscles stayed rigid, clearly unsure of what to do. At the crucial moment, he suddenly raised his cuffed hands, stopping me at the waist. "Are you sure?"Hearing his deeply restrained, ragged breaths only made me more impatient."I'm just a stray from the fighting pits," he said, his voice dropping even lower as he looked at me.My answer was a

The punishment worked. For a time, Eva reined in her hostility and stopped openly antagonizing me.To quell the gossip within the family, Kevin officially swore his allegiance to me, the rightful heiress.He wore a perfectly tailored bespoke black suit. The corners of his eyes and mouth were always slightly upturned, giving him the air of an elegant and refined bodyguard.Looking at him, I felt a stir of delight.But right after he pledged his loyalty to me, the first name to slip from his lips was "Eva.""I'm here!" Eva came running from the end of the long hallway and jumped into his arms. "Kevin, were you just thinking about me? Do you remember when we ran away together?"Kevin caught her steadily, a rare tenderness softening his gaze. "I remember. I remember everything about you."My parents stood to the side. They sighed helplessly and patted my shoulder in a gesture of comfort.After learning that I was his true master, Kevin was sullen for a long time.He obeyed me in everything

Eva was smart enough not to start trouble with me right away.Kevin's anger, however, had not subsided in the slightest. At the grand family dinner, he broke protocol and refused to stand guard behind my chair.He deliberately stood behind Eva. As a silent protest, he even bent down slightly, cutting the steak on her plate with practiced elegance.I paid him no mind. I just carefully removed Lucas's tactical mask, revealing his features clearly for the first time in the bright light.His ruggedly handsome, fiercely masculine face was suddenly illuminated by the lavish crystal chandeliers of the dining room.It wasn't just Eva; every family member at the table stared, completely stunned."Thank you." Lucas hesitated, then copied Kevin by placing a dish in front of me."Copycat," Kevin snorted. "Alessia doesn't touch raw oysters."I raised an eyebrow slightly.When Kevin was my chief bodyguard, he had never stooped to serving me a single dish. Yet he knew my tastes perfectly."I'll remem

Lucas kept his eyes downcast as he spoke. "Principessa, I don't want to hide anything from you. At my core, I'm a savage. A vicious dog. My hands are stained with blood, and I never learned the rules of your world.""I never learned how to serve anyone. I can't figure out the complicated silverware. I don't know how light my touch needs to be so I don't hurt you. When you cried last night, I was terrified."I thought back to last night. After the first time, the second had been overwhelming. I had lost control and cried out in pleasure.Lucas had completely panicked. "I'm sorry, did I hurt you? I didn't control my strength. You can punish me however you want. Bite me, hit me, starve me... anything. Principessa, please don't cry."I vaguely remembered him kneeling by the bed, apologizing for a long time. But I was so exhausted I fell asleep without saying a word.That explained the oppressive air around Lucas all day. He'd been trapped in a state of anxious insecurity."It's okay." I le

Kevin began to explain in detail."When I was first sent to the estate, I made a training error that angered one of the capos. I was about to be dragged out back and beaten to death. It was Eva. She rushed over without a second thought and held on to me, screaming and begging my father to let me go. If it wasn't for her, I'd have been dead long ago.""Yes, you are my principal, but she saved my life. Every time she looks at me with those red-rimmed eyes, I can't refuse her anything.""But in that ambush, my mind went blank. I swear, the only person I wanted to save was you! But when I opened my eyes and saw her, I was so confused.""It was only then that I realized the one I truly admire is you. But she saved my life, and I could never say no to her."My lips twisted into a humorless smile."Then keep repaying your debt to her. I never stopped you."Kevin moved closer, gripping my arm tightly. "Alessia, please. Don't be like this. I'm begging you."I sighed and turned to face him. "Kev
