บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha’s Chosen Mate: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

I did as he asked and took a breath.His eyes were fixed on mine, watching my every reaction. And just as he had promised, he did not move inside me, but he did not need to for me to feel pain. I could feel him so rigid inside me, filling me, and my body was unfamiliar with that intrusion. I shifted uncomfortably beneath him. He brought his hands to my face and made me look at him."Look at me," he ordered.I obeyed, and little by little, I felt him moving his hips in a slow back-and-forth motion inside me. I tried to get used to it, and although it still hurt a little, I began to enjoy it.He brushed his lips against mine, and I kissed him, yearning for his mouth against mine. His movements grew more intense, faster, and I moaned against his lips."John," I gasped.By then, my eyes were closed."Open your eyes, princess. I want to look at you," he ordered, because the commander never seemed to ask for anything.I opened them and looked at his face, which revealed all the pleasure he

I stood in the doorway, staring into those icy blue eyes. Judging by his offended expression, I had managed to insult him. I had to suppress a satisfied laugh.He reached for a sheet on the bed and wrapped it around his waist without taking his eyes off me. Behind him, Lina was wrapped in another sheet. She avoided my gaze, completely embarrassed."Get out of here," Dimitri ordered harshly."Why? Did I hurt your feelings, Mr. Sidorov?" I asked innocently.That was the last straw for Dimitri. He lunged toward me. Enraged, he grabbed my arm and dragged me down the hallway, his hand tightening forcefully around my arm. Halfway down the corridor, I yanked my arm free from his grip. That caused me to lose my balance and fall to the floor. Dimitri reached out, trying to catch me, but as I fell, I ended up kicking him in the groin. He lost his strength and fell on top of me, the thin sheet the only thing covering him."What the fuck is this!" a deep, familiar voice echoed through the hallway

I woke with the first rays of sunlight streaming through the window. But I had barely slept throughout the night, partly because I had no experience being out at sea and the rocking of the ship was not sitting well with my stomach, and partly because my mind was overflowing with thoughts.And every single one of them was focused on a certain commander.I had the feeling that I was behaving like an idiot, and that wounded my pride.I got out of bed, and after washing up and dressing decently, I began thinking about the scene from the night before. How had Lina ended up in Dimitri's bed? He was so... immoral.Then I heard a light knock on the door, so soft that I thought I might be imagining things. But then someone knocked again, and my heart gave an irrational leap. Because it couldn't possibly be the commander. He wouldn't knock with such delicacy... Would he?I got up and opened the door.Standing there with her eyes fixed on the floor was Lina. Her hands were clasped in front of he

The wind blew hard against my face. My hands were sweaty as they rested on the ship's railing. Ahead of me, on the horizon, the first rays of the rising sun were beginning to appear, along with the imposing sight of Raven Island.John stood beside me on the deck, his eyes fixed on the majestic island ahead.Captain Page gave orders to his crew. Dimitri was nowhere to be seen, and I did not lament his absence, but when I looked at Lina, I saw that she did.The ship, Sea Serpent, docked at Raven Island. When we disembarked, I saw several men waiting for us. They were all tall and strong, and when they saw John, they greeted him respectfully.I looked around and saw Dimitri getting off the ship. He did not accompany us to the castle. John told me that only the servants and the Pack lived in the castle.I felt a pang of empathy for Dimitri. According to what Lina had told me, he was not part of the Pack, and the only thing I knew was that he was a bastard, the son of a werewolf, but not a

I spent the rest of the day practically sleeping.After Lina left, other servants brought me lunch, and after days on a ship, I lay down on a soft bed that did not move. It was a true relief.I only had a few hours before the Alpha's return ball, where, according to Lina, I would meet the rest of the commander's Pack.When I woke, it was already night. The moon was rising high in the sky, and fortunately, it was not a full moon.I woke to Lina's knocking, which sounded urgent.I got up and opened the door. She curtsied, and I stood there watching her, feeling uncomfortable as she bowed."Lina, enough with the curtsies. I'm not in Shivia anymore, and I'm a Chase now," I said.She looked at me in surprise but nodded.I wouldn't be able to convince all the servants, but at least Lina would listen to me. She hurried inside, followed by several maids, and soon there was a true commotion.The Alpha's return ball with his wife was about to begin. Lina had wanted to come earlier, but accordin
