Ah! Siap it, brain! You're supposed to be the voice ofrecen here.

He opened his eyes, the intensity in them gone and he smalled a little. He looked like he was carvedto perfection by the Moon Goddess herself and She blessed him with a smile - like it was anultimate Weapon lo disarm a woman's defenses

He must've seen through ine because he Stilrked, my reaction seemingly normal for him and I couldtell he liked it.

The little voice in my head told me to let him and I mindlessly obeyed, nodding y head. Hisshoulders relaxed. Mine

He sat at the foot of the bed, keeping his distance, looking away from me. Before ! could catchmyself, I let out a relieved sigh. My hand immediately shot to cover my mouth and he chuckled inresponse. It sulted him too.

What am I thinking!

T—'Thank you, Alpha,” I whispered.

His head turned to face me and with an

head turned to face me and within robowalsed he inquind. “Alpha?” “Thank you, Alpha Lam, Sir!" Ihurriedly replied, realizing my mistake.

Helighed and slowly bol up. His eyes settled on me and he inched closer and closer. My heart racedand the butterflies retum . I directed my gaze on my hands, knuckles white from clutching onto thesheets. Then his hand appeared i

my line of sight, molding onto mine

Tinstinctively raised my head; he was staring at me. His cyes darkened; he growled, and my breathhitched in my throat

He's going to kill me!

I scampered on the bed, attempting to pul distance between us. I understand now = he wasrestraining himself from lashing out because I disrespected him. H

probably expected some sort of gesture ! 0 show respect the moment he walked in — he’s thefreakin’Alpha — and like an Idiot, I stayed on the bed and gawked at hire

A huge arm wrapped around my stomach

Cold air brushed my hale from above as his chest rose and tell and I could feel thehurd nulis beneath his shini contracting His woodland fragrance filled my lungs, making my headspinas strange sensations erupted within me.

My ears picked up on his thumping heart and every beat of mine synced with his own, an endearingcalming rhythmn. We were creating a song, aplere unique to us, and it was beautiful - I foundmyself being lulled into it — I could listen to this forever

lleaned into his stony chest, my head Euming to the side, lost in the bearing

sound.

Then another arm slithered its way down may left shoulder and moved to my right, entrapping meto him and my senses jolted back to reality.

He's going to choke me!

I frantically pulled at his arms to get it away from my neck but he tightened his hold and pressedme to him and

danded me to him and

*T-Please don't,” I whispered, hoping to TEVE Ever of mercy.

He didn't reply, Instead, my right. shoulder dipped at the weight of his head He inhaled sharply likehe was taking in my scent and I shuddered at the thought. Warin breathis fanned the side of mynick giving me goosebumps and tingling on my studiach.

Then something soft and wet came in contact with my skin and slowly traced a path from myclavicle up to my jaw. The tingles intensified and I involuntarily let out a throaty moan. He must'veliked what he heard, for next, he licked and sucked on the delicate skin, and I moaned louder, forhim

He whispered something, I couldn't quite catch it except for the last two words.”. found you,” hehad said,

Ah... you did, Alpha

My head in a doze as my boily succumbed In the pleasure and I found myseld wanting...tulee mure.Alpha,” I let out, my voicelow indallen

His reply was a sensual whisper. “I know, my dear.”

“Ah,” I breathed when his lips brushed Anst my marking spot

My marking spol.

My marking Spot

My marking sport

My head cleared in an instant, the tingles disappeared and I pushed on his arms.

“L-Let me go!” I screamed but he didn’t budge so I kicked and twisted in his hold until he compliedI crawled to the other side of the bed but iny hand slipped on the edge. I was supposed to fall — toland on the floor but I fell into his ams instead,

"Careful, my dear,” he said, a worried look on his face. “Are you hurt?

“N Nal Stay away from me!” I pushed his head away from me as I creamed for

The door suddenly swung ajar, snehody heard. A woman barged in: it was Lexy Slie looked ready tosay something but fraze when she sw US

He was on his knees, holding me like a princess while my hands were still pushing his head Tearsinvariably stralced my cheeks and my voice craiced when I spoke

I wis then that she recover

“Let go of her, now!” she demanded, her checks turning red in anger

Alpha llam sighed, stood then put me down on the bed.

She polnted outside and said, “Out!”

D “Lite that toe on, Lexy,” he Teplied in a ton thuit didn't hide the latt thula was passed

11 Now, Liam!” she said, inching his

He growled at her, warning her to back off I saw his hands ball into fists as his jaw clenchel Lexy didthe same.

Oh, no. What was I thinking! Calling for help, there was no one who could standu p to this man.“This isn't what you think, Lexy,” he said through grittel teeth, but she Scoffed in return

I didn’t know why she wasn't afraid of fiim. If it were anyone else, they would've highralled it out ofhere. Or maybe she wanted to but she was trying to protect m e Perhaps she knew he wouldn'tharm

her?

Why she“d defy him for me when we didn’t even know each other. Tf I let them go at it, it wouldcreate an opening for me to escape. But given his reputation, it would end in blood. And I didn'twant her

idend in Liloaul. And Idn“t want her to get killed

He took a step forward but before he could take another, I pulled on his shirt o stop him Andimmediately regrettedi

He directed his attention to me and I looked down. Because I didn’t want to look into his eyes again.Not when I could feel the intensity of his game on me i swallowed the lump in my throat. My Voicewas shalcy wiren I pleaded, “Please ...dau".. don't dll her

He didn't reply. He stood there watching me, without a saying word. Lexy was silent as well

“Is that what you think of me?” he askal, a hint of pain in his voice. And a part of m e wanted tocomfort him, and take my words back.

He gently removed my hand from his shirt and gave it a light squeeze. His hand was bigger thanmine and was so warm, I was oddly comforting

Look at me,” he said and Iralsed my head

His gaze metine and without breaking 1 Towered himself to place a soft his on the back of my hand“See I'm not scary,” he smirked.

I couldn't respond. The tingles were getting stronger and my fluttering heart Wouldn't calm down. Asimple kiss, a Sexy smilk. His wilonsolicited involuntary reactions from my body i

Weird but it seemell right. Like this was all normal, but I don’t understand why.

His fingers tangled into mine, a perfect fit Then he leaned closer and cupped my cheek. His touchwas so warm, soft, and comforting

He was getting loo close for comfort but I didn’t mind. I didn’t back away nor did. 1 look away fromhis deep brown eyes, tinged with golden orange.

Then I felt it. His lips on mine. My chest heaved and fireworks exploded in the background Allcast, inthe image that popped into my mind

His tongue asked for entrance and tiy lipy parted. I didn't light him I gave him full o ss and heexplored inside, Hicking and teasing, gliding the soli I ele over me I

So sweet, he tasted so... delic misly sweet,

My back hit the mattress as he laid me down, without breaking the kiss. He was Ketting agressive,and I liked it. I puta hand on the back of his head to push him into th’, deepening the dai

We both gasped when we parted. Then he pecked my lips, once, twice, and more until I lost count.He hovered above me and his eyes offered affection

Then he leaned to my side and whispered, “That was awesome. . mate!

"What?" My voice came out flat when I replied. There was no way I was mated to him. This has gotto be a prank, or my mind messing with me. But I heard right, so it was definitely the former

What kind of game is he playing? Calling me his mate. I have to mate! I was Fejected!

Flipped my fingers off his and when he bir up, the sound of a sharp slap echoed in the room. Hishead tilted to one wide from the force I applied and the mark of my palm leddened his cheek

"Get off me,” I commanded coldly and his jaw clenched. Anger pulsed in my veins and I wasn'tafraid of him.

“Now!” I screamed as I raised my hand to land another but he caught it by the wrist and wrappedhis hand around it until it hurt

Liam!” shouted Lexy, and his grip loosened

I've forgotten she was here

He turned his gaze on me but I wouldn't look at him “Now why would you do that,” he said calmly,and I audibly gulped, His silenLanger was scaner than when it was obvious.

I felt his weight leave the bed and I heard Lexy say, “Hey, let me go!” before the door closed.Within minutes the room fell silent. Tears threatened to fall and I ahhadon —

lineatened to fall and I dabbed on m with the shirts and hurled to

What is wrong with me?

How could I let that happen?

Was he going to mark me?

My hand wrapped around a special spot. I remembered the way my body reacted and the ungodlysounds that I let out. It felt... right.

The door opened slowly, breaking my thoughts. A man walked in saying, “Did you really think youcould hide from m e?“anger evident in his voice, Alpha Flynn
