All Chapters of The Alpha's Forbidden Secret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Stella's POV His lips were soft and tasted exactly like I'd expected. Citrus and sweet, even though I hadn't seen him eat anything that wasn't meat since we'd met. For a brief moment, I let myself melt into the fantasy of being with a good-looking man willing to fight for me. A man who was my age. A man who wouldn't invite a mistress into his room while I lived, even if it was because of his daddy issues. And then the fantasy was gone. Another one of those things I'd have to kiss goodbye. I allowed it for only a moment before finally letting my palms press harder against his shirt, shoving him off. Surprisingly, he let me go this time. A rarity for most alphas. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I hissed, my fingers twisting the door handle nervously until I was smacked in the face with the sharp reminder that his bitch of an aunt had locked the door. "Back to the insults, I see. Is that how you show love?" "I don't love anything about you. There's nothing to love," I snapped,

Stella's POVI took massive steps back and, in my haste to get away from him, crashed face first into the bed after tripping.My body rolled over so my back was pressed against the soft cushions. And then he was standing over me, leering hungrily the way his father would probably do in a few days as well.I couldn't control it. Bile rose to my throat, and I struggled to hold it down, unable to speak without risking vomiting."If you were in such a hurry to get to bed with me, you could have just said so. For a virgin, you're terribly skilled when it comes to playing games."The door shut behind me, and I flinched, every cell in my body stiff and frozen.The bed dipped as his weight settled into it, and I finally regained my voice."Get the hell away from me, you pervert."He paused, staring down at me, almost confused. "Another game?"He leaned down, so his face was inches away from mine and his body was hanging over the bed. Over me."This isn't a game, Eli. Get away from me, I'm ser

Stella's POV Sloan came out of the closet a second later, holding a shirt and some jeans that would no doubt hang low on my hips. My eyes flickered away from the condoms for a second to her. She was smiling. The same smile she'd given me since my arrival here. Only now it looked so much different. She had to have known what was beneath that watch. Just like she'd have to have known I'd see it. Staking a claim on Eli. It was a pretty clear and direct move. Even if he toyed around with me, she was still the one sharing his bed. I snatched up the watch, shoving the drawer shut and handing it to her, mirroring her smile. If she expected me to react in any way, then her surprise would be worth spending the day with her. She could take Eli to a deserted island somewhere in the middle of nowhere for all I cared. He meant nothing to me. Besides possibly being the person who would get me out of this hell. "Okay, so I found these jeans that should fit you enough to be classified as a

Stella's POV"Stella, you're out! Why aren't you wearing your dress?" she asked, frowning suddenly."Didn't like it," I murmured, adding it to the pile of clothes I'd rejected.Which was every single dress she'd handed to me."Oh. Would you like to try something else, then?" the beta salesman from before asked, already reaching for a rack of clothes that would only receive the same response."No, thank you. I'm not really here to buy anything," I mumbled, low enough so Stella wouldn't hear. "I can't afford these. I just came for her."He raised an eyebrow, openly curious now. "I'm sure she wouldn't have brought you here if she weren't planning on paying. If you see something you like, add it to the cart."He patted my shoulder before turning me towards the pile of clothes and returning to Sloan in her wedding dress.A dress for the man who'd stolen my first kiss and somehow managed to not make me feel dirty because of it.My eyes remained fixed on the clothes for a long time, unsure o

Eli's POVIn my defence for stalking her, I actually did have a reason beyond my weird obsession with this girl."Have you completely lost your mind?" she hissed, her words more of a statement than a question.She was shaking, clearly terrified, but she still had enough nerve to insult me."Maybe, but that would have happened a long time ago." I slid the curtain closed. "Now, what's a little wolf like you doing cornered in a shoe shop?"She was now openly glaring, though her breathing was still uneven and even slightly erratic."That's none of your business. I wanted to get these shoes and leave. Why are you here?"I paused, unsure of how to respond. The truth would only make her upset, which I wasn't sure I wanted."You stalked me," she hissed.I rolled my eyes. The truth would have to do, then. "I'm here to keep you from falling into whatever trap my dear old aunt set up for you.""What the hell are you talking about?"She bent, pretending not to care as she gathered a dress and som
