Chained By The Alpha By Jessica Hall
Chapter 58

For a moment, everything else fades away, and I forget about the danger that we’re in

My tongue sweeps across his lips, and I vaguely hear their voices again over the purring sound he makes in the back of his throat when he kisses me back. The voices grow fainter, and relief floods me. This was a terrible idea. I pull away abruptly, having avoided detection when I hear them leave

“They’re gone,” I tell him, peering over his arm in the direction they went. My shoulders drop, and I lean against the pillar and let out a breath of relief only to replace Zayn has a silly smirk on his face

“You kissed me,” he tells me like I don’t know that

“Yeah, because your aura was about to give us away. I am in enough trouble because of you!” I tell him, and his smile only gets bigger. This man is absurd!

Zayn’s eyes dance with a teasing glint, his smirk deepening at my attempt to explain the kiss

“Ah, so it was a strategic move to avoid detection, was it?” I swallow at his words because he leans closer

I nod, not trusting my voice

“And now?” he asks, his lips brushing mine as he speaks

“You’re gonna get us in trouble,” I whisper

“But you’re not pulling away,” he smirks. I open

my mouth to tell him it’s the sire bond when he grips the back of my neck, dragging me closer until Iam pressed up against him. His breath sweeps over my lips, and a strangled gasp leaves me

“Tell me not to, and I won’t. Tell me to stop,” he whispers, yet my entire body tingles at his words, my heart fluttering in my chest. Because I don’t want him to stop, and I know I should, but I can’t bring myself to say the words

His eyes flicker to his beast momentarily, and a wicked grin splits across his face.”I didn’t think

SO

Zayn’s lips crash onto mine once again, igniting a sense of urgency and fiery passion that sends my senses into overdrive. His kiss is a perfect balance of control and longing, his mouth exploring mine with such intensity that I am left

breathless and yearning for more

His hands roam over my back, pulling me flush against him, and I can feel the solid strength of his body. The kiss deepens, and I lose myself in the sensation, in the taste of him, in the way he makes me feel like I’m the only person in the world

As he finally pulls back, leaving us both gasping for air, he gives me a smoldering look that promises more. “Now, that’s the kind of trouble I could get used to,” Zayn says huskily, his eyes alight with a mix of desire and affection

At that moment, under the spell of his kiss and his mesmerizing gaze, I can’t help but agree

Being in trouble with Zayn feels dangerously right

As we pull apart, my cheeks flush with desire

and excitement; I reach up to touch my swollen lips. It was not the first time we’ve been caught in a moment of passion, but each time felt more electric than the last

“We really can’t do this here,” I remind him, my voice shaky from the intensity of the kiss

“But you didn’t say we couldn’t,” he chuckles, and my face flames at his words because he was right. I should be shoving him away, telling him off anything apart from kissing him. His fingers trace along my jaw

Despite the warning siren sounding in the back of my mind, I replace myself inexplicably drawn to Zayn, his rough exterior and fierceness impossible to resist

“T just…” I say, searching for the words to fix everything, end whatever this is because

it’s

wrong.” You know we can’t keep doing this,” I whisper, feeling my resolve weaken in the presence of him

“You keep pushing me away despite not really wanting me gone,” he sighs, his eyes searching mine. “But I can’t stay away from you.” He presses his forehead against mine

“Come on, let me feed you at least before you kick me to the curb,” he chuckles, grabbing my hand

Zayn leads me out of campus, and despite no one being around, I can’t help my paranoia of being caught by someone. Unlocking his car, he opened my door, motioning for me to get in. I slip into the seat, and Zayn walks around to the driver’s side, climbing in and starting the car

“So, are you going to tell me what your father

said?” he asks, reversing out of the parking space and turning onto the road

“Nope, because you’ve started enough issues already, I will pass on extra,” I tell him, and he growls, his hands tightening around the steering wheel. He doesn’t say anything else but starts driving through the city. After driving for a few minutes, I

glance at him nervously

“Where are we going?” I ask him

“My place since you don’t want to be seen in public with me.” My heartbeat quickens at

his words as he pulls onto the highway

“Why do you look nervous hearing that?” he asks, and I shake my head

“I’m not, but I probably shouldn’t be alone around you,” I remind him

“Well, we can go to a restaurant if you prefer.” he laughs, and I raise a brow at him

“Chill, I’m just playing. Not my fault you don’t trust yourself around me,” he adds, and I glare at him

“That is not why! I..”

“Keep telling yourself that, you’re clearly not scared of me, or you wouldn’t have got in my car. You certainly wouldn’t have kissed me,” he reminds me, and my face heats

“Just focus on driving!” I snap at him, knowing he is only taunting me

Zayn smirks, not taking his eyes off the road as he navigates the winding highway headed toward his pack house. I cross my arms and stare out the window, trying to

control my

frustrated emotions

The rest of the drive is mostly quiet, with only the sound of the engine and the wind rushing past us. Eventually, we pull up at the front gates. He fiddles with the visor, and the gates unlock, his men on guard nodding as he passes them

We follow the road to his driveway and park in the circular courtyard, surrounded by

tall trees and lush foliage. The main house stands high above us, illuminated by the moonlight

As I get out of the car, Zayn follows me to the front door, opening it for me with a smile. We enter the dimly lit house, and he flips on the lights
