6. Faint

Though she had never met her parents in person, Kiara dreamed of them again. Dad said how brave girl she was and the caress of mom's fingers in her hair washed all the pain in her heart and body away. However, when she attempted to reach for their embrace, her mom and dad presence diminished. Vanished like nighttime mist in the breeze.

They smiled at their daughter and left. Her parents were gone. Disappeared. On a sudden, all of her pain came back again. She woke up with her breath catching and cold sweat making her strands stick to her temple. 

She took a deep breath. 

He was just here. His scent is still lingering.

Alpha Dave must not have left her room long ago. 

She closed her eyes against the unpleasant feeling that suddenly appeared in the pit of her stomach. She got up from bed and saw something that made her cheeks feel a pleasant cool smeared on her right cheek. Herbal ointment. Then the memory of what happened before replayed in her mind. Leon's slap was as painful as always. But at least she was more used to it now. 

"At least I'm not crying this time" Kiara muttered. She slipped out of her room, and exited the servants' quarters building and sneaked through the servants' door that went through the back gate and headed towards the forest. 

A feeling of apprehension followed her. Who had saved her from Leon? 

Her brother was never playful when beating her. He always wanted Kiara dead. She was sure she would be a corpse by now if someone hadn't saved her and brought her here. 

'Did Alpha Dave bring me back here?'

*****

In the dimly lit room, two bodies were sticky with sweat. Moans and sighs filled the vast bedchamber, the atmosphere was hot along with deep lustful growls and the sounds of deep breath.

 

"D... Dave..." Angeline whimpered while trying to adjust every deep trust given by the Alpha "slow down... Oh my-" 

Her pearly smooth skin displayed before Dave's eyes made his lust ignite even more. Angeline's soft moans were a melody to his ears as he thrust his cock deeper and deeper into her warm core. 

Her face pressed against the bed sheet, her fingers gripping the blanket tightly. Since her back was to him now, he could not see his Luna's expression. 

Her moans of protest and pain escaped his hearing. He didn't realize he could hurt her, as he was lost in other thoughts right now. 

Her fingers reached back, grabbing his hand that gripped her hips tightly. Angeline was sure it would leave a mark tomorrow: "Dave... you're too rough.. " She struggled to say it clearly. 

The Alpha instantly opened his eyes, her fingers grabbing his wrist, pulling him back to his consciousness. He stopped his movements on a sudden. 

"Angel" He brushed the soft strands and tucked them behind her ear. Pulling her gently so her back pressed against his hard chest and cupped her cheek. Seeing the wet trace down her cheek, Dave was a little surprised. "I'm sorry" 

He sighed and buried his nose in the crook between her shoulder and neck. "Did I hurt you? Why didn't you tell me right away?"

"It's okay, it's not something you should worry about." She managed to let out a small chuckle "Don't worry about it too much. I'm just.... Just surprised because it seems like tonight you're... A smiled bloomed on her lips. "You must have missed me so much."

Dave laid her body down gently, positioning the pillow to make her comfortable. He took her hand and kissed the back of her palms for a long time. "I am"

Angeline ran her fingers along his spine, to the magnificent black tattoos on his broad back. His beautiful tattoo was one of Angeline's favorite things about him. "Now I'm by your side, my love. You don't have to worry anymore. I'm sorry I can't always be by your side. This ill body of mine-"

"Sssh" he pressed a forefinger to her lips quickly.

 

When he trusted in her before, Angeline could feel something different from him. His stamina was unquestionable, in fact, it always overwhelmed her.

But tonight Angeline felt not only his desire but also his frustration, anger. It was all mixed up. 

"That omega must have pissed you off."

Dave blinked. Kiara's face appeared on his head again. He lost focus. They looked away before taking a deep breath. Dave pulled away from his Luna and grabbed the sleeping robe and put it on immediately. 

Angeline just raised an eyebrow, looking at his broad back facing her. "Dave?"

"Go to sleep Angel, you need to rest", he landed a soft peck on her temple then rose to his feet.

"We haven't finished yet."

Her protest was cut off by his firm voice. "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold myself if we do it again. You've only just recovered. I almost hurt you" Dave rubbed her face roughly. 

"You never hurt me. I liked that." 

Dave looked at his Luna lying on her bed. Her naked body, porcelain smooth skin, soft blonde strands on her back, those delicious lips. Damn. Tonight he would be tormented, he had to make himself cum. 

There was something that was bothering Dave when he buried his nose in her nape earlier, something that kept Dave from finishing their lovemaking tonight. "Did someone touch you today, Angel?"

Dave knew this didn't make sense, in his pack no one would dare leave their scent on his luna. Her dad and brother weren't here. And yes, that damn scent stuck to her and interfered with her natural scent. He hated this.

 

Color left Angeline's face. "w...what do you mean by that, Dave?" she rose from her comfortable position, under the blanket her fingers intertwined so tightly. 

Her lips trembled and paled, her eyes widened to meet the Alpha's piercing gaze. 

Dave lowered his body into to hers, he stroked her hair, smiling softly "forget it. It's nothing important."

He regretted saying it just now for making her feel scared. "I know you won't betray me, Angeline. Not after you know what it would mean if you did. Am I right?"

She nodded so slowly, scared like prey in the clutches of a predator. "I will never betray my Alpha and my mate". She shook her head. Despite the fact that she is his Luna, his current state never fails to send shivers down her spine. "never."

"Good girl"

Afterward, Dave left their room, leaving Angeline alone. She got out of bed, headed towards the wide mirror and brushed her hair from her neck. A faint scarlet mark appeared on her skin right there quite clear, It's a miracle Dave didn't see this. 

Her hands gripped the mirror's frame tightly. The Alpha almost found out, "Hugo, you bastard."
