Alpha Dominic
Chapter 66

Still Bethany's POV

There was a collective gasp from the crowd as they watched his public show of affection in the dining room. I must confess that I'm also surprised at his attitude also, why is he treating me this way when he had been so furious with me before he left the room. Did something happen while I was still upstairs, did Alexia say something to him that changed his mind?

"Or maybe he is faking it," I thought within me, contemplating different reasons that could make him treat me this nicely. A lot of things are going through my mind, but I couldn't settle on any definite answer because none of these answers made sense to me, it's just not in his personality, he doesn't just change his mind at will, he never does anything without a reason, of that I'm certain He leaned over and pecked my cheeks, his warm breath fanning my cheeks as he whispered seductively in my ears, "Thank you for listening to me, my love." It was only then that I realized why he is acting this way. I couldn't help chuckling within me as he acted like a proper gentleman, pushing my seat in before sitting down beside me. The smile on his face is priceless, I can't believe that he is acting this way simply because I used this muffler to hide the mark he had placed on my neck. He thinks that I covered it to please him, that is why he is so excited, he thinks I have accepted his request, he even said a warm thank you to me for listening to his instructions. Gosh, this is so hilarious, I mean, I can't stop wondering how he would feel when I finally tell him that I still don't buy his stupid idea, I want to be proud of our bond, I want to show off to all the bitches that I've finally got what is mine. No, I don't want to show it to the whole world, just one person in this Castle. It's no other person but that slutty b***h, Bianca.

I could feel her eyes on me as she serves dinner on the King plate. Gosh, if eyes could kill, I'll be long dead already. She was glaring daggers at me while she served him his food, pushing her boobs that are almost spilling out of her clothes, at his face, trying so hard to get his attention. He paid no heed to her seduction, acting completely oblivious to her. His eyes were fixed on me, looking deep into my soul, it was as if he was trying to figure out something, I just can't explain it. But I can feel my skin burning as his eyes roamed my whole body, stripping me with his eyes. I was feeling that warm tingling feeling all over my body, it felt like his hands were on my body, caressing me. I squeezed my thighs together, trying to curb my desires. I made the mistake of turning to stare at him, I couldn't look away from him as his eyes held mine, holding my gaze for some minutes, looking deep into my soul, making my beast run wild as she howled and howled in ecstasy. "Whatever you are doing to me, please stop," I told him through our mind link, pleading softly with my eyes.

"I'm not doing anything, my love. I'm simply starting at my beautiful goddess that means the world to me, is that a crime?" he asked with a smug smile on his face.

"Yes Dominic, it is a crime, especially if this goddess gets wet and horny whenever you look at her that way. Please stop Dom, I can't control myself anymore." I muttered softly.

"I know, I can smell your arousal from here. I want to lick off all your juices, I want to screw you with my tongue and bring you multiple o*****s." He let out in a hoarse tone, making me throw my head back in pleasure as I imagine his head buried between my legs. I heard him chuckling softly, and when I brought my head down, I found everyone around the table staring at me strangely.

Damn!!!

He just tricked me and I fell blindly into his trap. I'm not so sure, but I think I moaned out loudly, that is why they were all staring at me that way. Now everyone would think that I'm crazy, they would think that I'm some kind of w***e that has no control over her libido. I turned to glare at him and tell him just how furious I am right now, but he wasn't looking at me anymore, his eyes were fixed on Bianca as he glared at her fiercely. I turned to her and I noticed the way she was also glaring at me, she looks so stunned that I had to wonder what she was looking at. I gazed back at her curiously as I wondered what she is staring at and why Dominic was glaring daggers at her.

"Lady Bethany, it's so hot in here, would you like me to help you take off this muffler?" she asked me with a fake smile that looks so stupid on her face. It was at that very moment that I realized what was going on. When Dominic was seducing me with his words, I was so careless in my response to his seduction, I had thrown my head back in pleasure and my muffler had moved a bit, giving her a glimpse of my mark. She had seen some of it, but I'm guessing that she didn't quite see it clearly, that is why she is looking at me that way. She is trying to confirm if it is the king's mark, but I won't let her see it. King Dominic was right, after all, it's way better to keep my mark hidden, it's way more fun. I'm not saying that I agree with him, I mean, I don't even know why he had asked me to keep it hidden, he is yet to tell me what his reasons are. But I think I'm loving this idea of his already, I love this silly look on Bianca's face, it's way more fun to watch her struggle to come up with a reasonable explanation for the mark on my neck. I'm sure she would never believe that Dominic had marked me, she still believes that he has a thing for her, and she thinks he is still coming back to her. As for me, I have no plans on changing that narrative, I'll just let her keep believing that while I relax and enjoy the benefits of being mated to the Alpha King.

"Thanks, Bianca, I don't mind the heat at all. My muffler compliments my dressing and I love it this way." I responded to her, wiping that stupid smile off her face. I'm guessing this is why Dominic wanted me to keep our relationship a secret, he must have a very good reason for insisting I hide his mark, he could be trying to shield me from nosy, bitches like Bianca. But he doesn't really have to try so hard to protect me from her, I'm sure that I can handle the likes of Bianca with so much ease. I looked up at her, giving her a knowing smile, letting her know that I know exactly what she is up to. Dominic was watching our exchange with a smile on his face, I'm guessing that he approves of my reaction to her questions, he loves the way I'm answering her questions without giving out anything.

She stood next to me, looking so dumbfounded. She is supposed to serve my breakfast, but she is lost in her own thoughts, forgetting that she still has to attend to me. I had to snap my fingers in her face to get her attention. She offered a fake apology for her, forgetfulness, blaming it on stress and lack of sleep. then she filled up my plate with food before going to serve food to the others. I ate my food quietly, trying to ignore Dominic as he kept his gaze back on me, watching me closely. I can't believe that he still wants to flirt with me just a few minutes after we had nearly been caught by that silly omega. He is just too stubborn, and with the way he is acting, I'm not even sure that he wants to keep our relationship a secret anymore.

"You need to stop this right now Dominic. I don't know about you, but as for me, I'm still so pissed off at you. You owe me an explanation for what you did this morning." I stated firmly, causing him to chuckle softly. It's so annoying when he turns everything into a joke, I feel like punching him right now.

"Come with me, I'll explain everything in my office." He let out softly. He spoke with his mouth this time, not through our mind link like he has been doing all this while. He even stood up and stretch out his hand to me, telling me to take his hand. I was surprised at first, but I quickly got over my surprise and I stood up to take his hand as he led me out of the dining hall to his office. Just as we were about to step out of the dining hall, someone bumped into me, spilling a big bowl of hot soup on my body, making me gasp in shock as it burned my skin. My skin was healing almost immediately, but my outfit was ruined as I was covered in soup. I heard a soft giggle and when I looked up, I saw who my assailant was...

Bianca...
