The Alpha's Bodyguard 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

ALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I lied. One wasn't close to enough. But neither was two. Or three. Or four, or a fucking thousand. She was warm beneath me, and so fucking responsive that she was driving me insane and out of control. For a man who lived on control, I was losing every single rein I had held on to for so long. My hand gently ran up her chest, to the skin of her neck. I could taste her on my lips, feel her in my blood and I had done nothing but mark her.Her lips were slightly parted, her chest rising and falling fast. I leaned down, my finger running down her face. Her eyes opened to meet mine. "You shouldn't have left," I whispered, biting down on her lower lip, only to hear her gasp for me. "It may have been more than five years. Maybe ten. Maybe an eternity. But I would still have dragged you right back. Whether by your hair or by your desire."Her fingers pushed into the now open buttons of my shirt, the jacket discarded somewhere in the heat of the moment. "I would have dr

SELENA'S P.O.V I watched the sun setting from the quarters, my heart hammering in my chest. It never slowed. From the minute Alpha Cole's eyes met mine in that hall, down to the short trip with Evan, down to right now, hours later, my heart never slowed. Neither did my wolf.It was like both my heart and my wolf had been starving through the hatred I tried so hard to hold on to, and now that they had gotten a taste of Alpha Cole once more, it was like water in the middle of a desert. Like air after almost drowning.I closed my eyes, my chest heaving. He still wasn't back. There was definitely a reason why he had asked for me to be brought back to the alpha palace even though he had technically won.I found myself wondering if he had eaten. If he had even gotten a wink of sleep.Alpha Cole was notoriously good at hiding how tired it was until he passed out. I remember how scared I had been that night, one year after I was first appointed as his guard, and he had passed out from fatigu

SELENA'S P.O.V I swallowed hard, tears running down my cheeks steadily. "Cole..." I said as I tried to reach out to him, my heart thumping hard in my chest. He had my name on his spine. My name on his skin like... like I meant more than that one night.He immediately pulled up the robe and moved away before I could touch him. He stood and turned to me. His eyes were glassy with tears, but he was fighting so hard that his jaw clenched. "Cole," I said, immediately getting out of bed too. I covered the distance to him, my eyes darting across his face. "Talk to me. Please.""About what?" He asked, meeting my eyes. "What am I going to tell you that isn't going to make me seem like a pathetic fool right now who is going against everything he believes in?""Why is that a bad thing?" I asked, my chest rising and falling rapidly, my breaths short. "You wanted to know if I could walk over everything that I believed in in order to get to you. Why can't you do the same for me?""Because it got

SELENA'S P.O.V I walked back to the dignitary quarters in a daze, my chest feeling a little too tight for the emotions I was somehow managing to carry inside it.I closed the door behind me once I slipped into the room, and I gently leaned back on the door, my heart ripping open once again. I went to the floor, my knees pulled to my chest as I wrapped my hands around them, fresh tears welling up in my eyes.This felt even worse than missing him. I was able to go five years riding on hate and shutting away everything thay could have been good about us.But having him lie down on my chest and tell me about all of the things we could have done together, including having a daughter, and then having to go back to being enemies the next morning, it killed me inside.How do I start telling him that he had missed his daughter's birth? That he had missed that first cry? That he had missed her first walk and her first laugh and her first crawl and that the first time she said Dada she hadn't b

SELENA'S P.O.V"How is Gabriel doing?" I asked as I took a seat. They had made the best of what they would with the space, and it looked almost like a home."Oh, he is absolutely perfect. He has asked about you all the times I have been to the reforms, which is a little too much considering he has been there less than a month."I nodded, then looked at Amanda who was now sitting on my lap, her smile big."I missed you so much," I whispered, gently caressing her face. "If I had known you were here, I would have come sooner."She gave a small smile, then shrugged in that way that always reminded me of her father. "Aunt Sarah fed me a lot of sweets, but I missed you too."I broke into a laugh. "You betrayer. So you were happy I wouldn't enforce portion control?"She giggled, and I pulled her to my chest, my fingers combing through her hair.I looked up. Alan was sitting across from us, his eyes thin, his lips set in a straight hard line of displeasure.I cleared my throat. "How have you
