Chapter six

AMELIA’s POV…

“What was that, dearest mate? What did you say?” He asked me, and closing my eyes as more tears streamed down my cheeks, I spoke.

“I said I’ll be your breeder. Please, let go of my sister. Don’t do anything to hurt her, please.” I begged him, and just then, everyone in the room burst into laughter, and I raised my head, confused.

I sniffled as he walked to me, pulling me up as he pinned me against the wall, and staring at the way the men held my little sister, like she was some sort of escape convict, I couldn’t help but hate this man even more. What did he even think of himself?

I clenched my fists as he leaned in. “What was it you said? If I remember clearly, Amelia, you’d told me that it didn’t matter what I did. You would never accept to be my breeder. Tell me now, after you said all those things, how am I supposed to believe you’re not just agreeing so you can save her? How am I supposed to believe that once I send the little girl to you, you won’t bail on me?” He asked me, and I shook my head as I stared at him, nothing but anger and hatred for him running through me.

I looked him in the eye, and the fear I used to have for him had disappeared somehow. How couldn’t it? How could he even involve a little girl? She was a child for goodness’ sake, how could he drag her into something like this? I was ashamed to even call him my mate.

I didn’t say anything, I just kept staring at him, my heart clenching even tighter every minute it came back to mind that few days back, I found myself getting drawn to him.

As I stared at him, feeling nothing but anger, hatred, and disgust, he started to caress my cheeks as he pinned me even harder to the wall, leaning in.

“What’s the guarantee that you won’t want out, Amelia?” He asked me, the expression on his face changing, and I swallowed. “You’re a hybrid omega, people like you aren’t to be trusted, so, tell me. What’s my guarantee?” He asked me, and I tilted my head, trying to be a little distant from him.

“If my words aren’t enough for you to trust, then I have no other way. Give me my sister without hurting her and I promise, I’ll bear your children, as your breeder.” I told him, and saying these words, it felt like everything in me was ripping off, but because of Lilly who was crying hard, I did my best to remain strong.

He nodded as he stepped back, clapping, and just as he clapped, a guard brought in a golden tray, and opening it, I found a little knife and I stared at him, confused.

“What is this? What are you planning to…” before I could finish speaking, he took my hand as he slit it, causing me to cry out in pain.

He nodded, “That’s my assurance, and you’re right, your words mean nothing to me. I don’t believe them at all.” He told me, and I held on to my hand.

I wanted to wince in more pain, but it didn’t take up to a minute before the pain disappeared, and I raised my head as I stared at him, confused, as he smirked.

“Are you that weak, Amelia? You gave up. You said many things, you refused becoming my breeder many times even after all the things I did to you, and then what? Just because of a little girl that isn’t even your blood, you agreed? Really? That’s….”

Disgusted, I cut him off. “You should be ashamed of yourself, Alpha Alexander. Children are a gift from the goddess. According to teachings, they’re her descendants, but what are you trying to do? You’re trying to toy with them. You’re disrespecting children, making them seem worthless, and of all things to punish me with, a child? You don’t deserve to be called an Alpha, and now, with what you’ve just done, you’ve proven it to me that I wasn’t wrong to want to reject you in the first place.” I told him, and just as I made to go to Lilly, he grabbed me, pushing me back to the wall as he suddenly started to whisper, seductively.

“You hate me. Do you really hate me, my little breeder?” He asked me, and I tried to push him away, but almost immediately, he grabbed my hand as he placed it above my head.

“Hatred is an understatement for what I feel for you, Alpha Alexander. I hate you much more than you can tell. I hate…” before I could even finish emphasizing on how much I hated him, he started to move his hands around me, and I swallowed.

“Don’t worry, sweetheart. I’ll treat you well. I won’t hurt you..” he spoke as he leaned in even more, whispering, and gosh, that hot breathe, the one that lingered from my ear to my neck, as much as I hated it, as much as I didn’t want it to, it was turning me on and I clenched my fists as I tried to get away from him, but he was too strong.

“Let go of me!” I said, struggling, as I made to get away from him, but he didn’t let go of me.

“I won’t hurt you, Amelia, until the baby is born at least. Rest assured.” He told me, and just then, I pushed him even harder.

“Let go…” immediately I got free from him, I made to rush to my sister, but again, he was quick to hold me back as he pulled me closer to himself.

“You want to meet your sister so bad? You want to hold her in your arms that much?” He asked me as I kept trying to get out of his arms. “It’s not that easy, cupcake. You’ll have to do a little something for me.” He told me, and I gasped.

“What do you want? Didn’t I already to agree to be your breeder? Let me go see my sister, please.” I begged him, and just then, he tucked my hair behind my ear as with one hand still around my waist, he used the other hand to caress my cheeks.

“If you want to go to your sister, you’re going to have to kiss me…. FRENCH STYLE.” He told me, and right in his arms, it was like I had frozen.
