Reborn: Fated to my ex mate's brother, the Alpha King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

AstridBoom!A loud clap of thunder jolted me awake. I sat up abruptly, my heart already racing due to shock and also because I'm scared of thunderclaps.Another rumble rolled across the sky and I literally had to force myself from throwing my duvet over my head in hiding.I glanced at the table clock beside me, it was a few minutes past six in the morning, which was still very early. My room was still dark, and my windows were somehow open. The curtains blowing wildly, the room's temperature getting colder by the second. My brows furrowed as I tried to recollect why I didn't close my window last night. I do that every night unfailingly. I didn't remember leaving the window open before I went to bed.I groaned as I pushed the covers aside and hurried towards the windows, still dreading the possibility of another thunder clap before I could get back under the safety of my duvet, and also intending to shut it before the rain blew in completely.I briskly tried to lock the stupid window

AstridI yawned and stretched my arms widely, feeling light and strangely free.I went back to sleep immediately. Knox had dropped me off in a bedroom with quite expensive male looking decor. I hadn't bothered asking questions because I had just wanted to go back and curl up under a cozy sheet. Now, without him beside me, I could actually look.I dropped my arms and for a few seconds I just stared up at the high ceiling, trying to circulate my thoughts and figure out where I was.There's no doubt one answer to that, Knox's bedroom. I slowly pushed myself upright and glanced around the room. I might have been so sleepy that I underestimated the setup. The room was beautiful. It looked way different from my pink and white bedroom back at Night aim.Everywhere was grey and black with tiny hints of gold designs that made it more elegant than plain. Tall curtains covered one side of the room, which I'm very sure a full on window would be behind it.I rubbed my face and stifled another yawn

Astrid I stared at him and gulped.“Our night?”Knox's smirk deepened. “Yeah. You would look good bent over on my desk.”My heart beat quickened, heat rose up in my cheeks and I rubbed my thighs together, but I was suddenly scared. It would be my first time and I'm definitely not so confident anymore. He had barely fit into my mouth, how the hell would he fit inside me. There's no way.I folded my arms, trying to look tough. “You're awfully confident for someone who disappeared on me for half the day. What makes you think I'll want you to do that?” “I didn't disappear.”“You clearly did.”He studied me for a moment, and the dark, possessive look in his eyes like he wanted to eat me raw faded slightly. It was like he could read me like an open book.“I was giving you space.”I frowned. “Space? Why?”“You've had a lot thrown at you today, little muse. A new environment. New people. And basically the start of a new life.” His gaze briefly settled on the mark at my neck. “And me. So I t

AstridA welcome dinner was being held for Sasha, hosted by Margaret of course.Not like I have anything against it, until I find out what really is going on in Sasha's head, I have nothing against her. Moreover, I haven't been doing anything serious.Woods Corporation had been hanging by a thread once. Now, everything was different. The public and investor's faith were somehow restored in the company even after the whole incident at the gala and summit. No doubt it was due to Knox's influence and also the very shocking mating between both of us.Woods Corporation was standing again. And after my work was well done, I got to keep my position in the company.Work hasn't really been hectic like when I started. So I would say I'm kinda free.The dining room had been arranged and beautiful to perfection. Margaret had really played down the whole set up when she referred to it as "just a small welcome dinner".There were candles, fresh flowers, and different kinds of dishes that smelled di

LailaNo…no…no…no…no!I feel like I'm going crazy.Seven days.That was all I could think about.I had heard it from three different blogs and even plenty of my friends who are in Knightdale pack. And somehow, each person seemed to take a little too much pleasure in being the one to deliver the news to me. All extra giddy and excited like it's about them.In seven days my biggest enemy is going to win.Astrid Woods is marrying the Alpha King.I had locked myself in my bathroom after the third person told me, sitting on the cold marble floor and an extra hot water pouring on me even when I'm still fully clothed for such a long time that my legs had gone numb and my skin red.Seven days.It wasn't just a wedding. It felt like a deadline.In seven days, Astrid would really become Luna of Knightdale Pack. My dream. She would have everything I had spent years wanting, the position, the power, the respect, and, worst of all, the man I had once believed would eventually be mine. Derek was my
