All Chapters of Alpha Drake's Curvy Obligation: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Mother Queen, like I said, looked both completely calm and deadly serious at the same time. This was so scary to me because that was always how the most dangerous people acted.She had mentioned a silver dagger, and I will repeat this again: I really did not want to die. I knew I did not have much to live for at this point, but dying right here on this bed was just not an option for me.“I was almost sent away to the outcast shelters when I was twenty-one years old...” I stated softly, looking right into her eyes. “Actually, I am pretty sure you have heard the story before.” I let out a sad, bitter chuckle. “I do not know who my mother slept with back then, but he was a mistake. A big, big mistake.” I swallowed hard, trying to keep my voice steady. “She fell pregnant with me and insisted on keeping the baby anyway. When she gave birth to me, I ended up taking her life. That is the reason everyone called me a curse.”Mother Queen looked confused for a moment, but she seemed to be actua

Anyway, I snapped out of my feelings and told him my carefully thought-out escape plan. Of course, not in the way you might think. I told him:“With my life, and how wolfless I am, I just do not want to be reminded of any of that today.”“Yes, of course. No one will remind you of that,” he said gently.“The royal witch is coming. Mother Queen mentioned she is very powerful.”“She will not say anything bad to you. She is coming here solely to serve you.”“But she is a witch. Each time I see her, I will just have this anxious, terrible feeling inside. I really just cannot be in the same room with her. Is there a way to avoid her? Like stopping her from coming here at all?”“You really do not want her here?” he asked, taking a quick breath.“Yes.”“Who else do you not want to see today?”“Just... anyone with that kind of beyond-normal power. I just... I really hope you understand.”“I do. Alright, you have one hour left. How far along are they with working on you?”“We will manage in tim

Drake had me locked in place by my waist, his strong hand running slowly up and down my back, rubbing with just the right amount of heavy pressure.“I… I…” I could barely speak.“You do not think we should?” he whispered, lowering his dark head until his breath brushed hot against my ear. “You seduced me last night, or was that whole thing just a dream?”“No, exactly... you were in pain last night.”“I think I will be completely fine,” he murmured softly.His rough hand found the cold metal zipper of my gown. The second his fingers touched it, he rested there for a single heartbeat before pulling the zipper all the way down in one smooth, slow motion.The moment the fabric parted, his bare hand hovered over my exposed spine, sending a sharp wave of electrical chills straight through my body.I had never in my whole life been touched like this. Goddess, it felt so incredible that my eyes fluttered completely shut. Drake let out a low chuckle, not to mock me, but with the raw pride of a

I absolutely did not like what Lily did. It almost got me killed.In fact, I was not even sure if my uncle was still trying to execute me, but she really did set me up in bed with another man, something I would never forget.But I did not want her killed. Not when two people were already dead right now because of me. In fact, if we were counting my mother, that was three people.Nica, my ex-boss, and my mother. Three people were no longer here because of me, and now Lily was about to be added to that list? That would completely break me.I sat down on the soft sofa, nodding my head like I agreed with him. But in my heart, I was thinking that maybe once he watched the movie and calmed down, I would bring it up gently.Well, that plan did not work out at all. As soon as Drake sat down beside me, I blurted out my thoughts right away.“I am sorry, I know it is not my decision to make, but so many people have already died because of me. I just do not want to add anyone else to that list,”

For that reason, Drake couldn't know that I was a witch. He simply couldn't. My life was going so great, and I did not want to ruin it.“It was not a cut,” I said quickly, pulling my finger close to my chest to hide it. “I did not actually hurt myself.”“The blood. Explain the blood, Tesia,” he said, his voice low and heavy, clearly hung up on what he had just seen. And reasonably so. Regular wolves take thirty minutes to an hour to heal from a cut, not instantly like I just did.“No, that blood came from somewhere else, I...” Oh shit, I literally could not find a lie that could explain the blood smeared across the sink. “It is not blood! It is from the red vegetable.” I pointed frantically at the red pepper on the board. “I sliced it by mistake.”“The scent,” he growled softly, taking a half-step closer. “That scent is blood.”“Trust me, it is not.”I rushed over to the sink and cranked the faucet on high. It was a blessing he did not try to come any closer, because it allowed me eno
