ELIANA

I sank into the plush queen-sized bed, letting out a deep breath as I tried to process everything. My mind was a jumble of emotions, but the silence of the room was a welcome respite.

I stood up, took off my clothes, and walked towards the bathroom. As I stepped onto the cold tile floor, my bare feet prickled with sensation, but it was a calming feeling, like a soothing balm for my frazzled nerves.

I turned on the faucet, letting the water flow, but I didn't step under its stream. Instead, I stood there, lost in thought. Alessia's voice whispered in my mind, “What did he mean by 'the favor he is rendering you is for his benefit'?" The question swirled in my head, refusing to let me shake it off.

"I don't understand either," I replied to Alessia.

"Maybe he likes you," she suggested, her tone laced with a hint of curiosity.

I scoffed, dismissing the idea. "That's impossible," I said to Alessia. "Let's forget he's the Lycan King for a second - have you seen this man?" I asked, my

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    LETTING GO

    AXELMy gaze drifted to her round boobs. They were perfect. I could feel them calling me to pop it, I was taken aback by the sight. Her curves were flawless, and for a moment, I forgot myself. I had seen a lot of views, but this was resplendent. But as soon as desire sparked within me, I suppressed it. I hated that I reacted to her that way. She swiftly turned, but I knew she was aware that I'd seen everything."I'm used to sights like this," I said, placing the clothes on the vanity, trying to sound nonchalant. But the truth was, seeing her was different. It was more intimate and more personal, and it stirred something within me that I couldn't ignore.She let out a choked little cough, her discomfort palpable. As she turned her back to me, I couldn't help but notice the curves of her body: the long lines of her back, the tiny waist, and the rounded contours of her hips."Is there a towel?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I hesitated, my eyes still on her. "Nah, I'll bri

    ELIANA I stood there, my mind reeling from the intensity of the moment. My cheeks flushed as I recalled the way he had gazed at my body, his eyes burning with desire. For a fleeting instant, I had seen the hunger in his eyes, but as usual, it was quickly veiled by an enigmatic mask.“I told you, he likes you!”"Alessia, stop it," I scolded her. "He can't fall for someone like me... He's notorious for not catching feelings, and even if he wanted to try, it would never be with me."I let out a frustrated chuckle at the absurdity of it all. That was impossible."I saw the way he looked at you, Eliana," Alessia persisted. "Like he wanted to devour you whole in that moment. I swear, I saw it.""Alessia, please stop it," I begged, trying to shake off the unwanted thoughts. "Just stop putting these ideas in my head, okay?”"Remember what you said about Gabriel?" I asked Alessia, my tone dripped with sarcasm. "How did that turn out?" I already knew she was aware of how miserably her predicti

    ELIANAAxel's words hung in the air, leaving me with a sense of unease. What did he mean by "not now"? Was he implying that there would be a later time when I would have to face whatever fears I was trying to keep at bay?I tried to push the thoughts aside, but they lingered, making me feel anxious and on edge. Axel seemed to sense my unease, and he reached out, his hand brushing against mine."Let's get out of here," he said, his voice low and soothing. "We can talk more about this later." I noticed the way he gazed at the door before it returned.I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Maybe getting out of there would help me clear my head, and I could try to make sense of the strange emotions that were swirling inside me.As we walked out of the space, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being pulled into something deeper, something that I might not be ready for.Axel's eyes scanned me from head to toe, a hint of amusement dancing on his lips.

    ELIANA"I don't know what to say," I admitted, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear. For some reason, the whole story made me feel deeply uneasy, like I was stuck in a web of complexities I couldn't quite navigate. I shifted uncomfortably in my chair, my eyes drifting to the untouched food in front of me. The hunger I'd felt just moments before had surprisingly vanished, replaced by a sense of queasiness that left me feeling off-balance."Should I just tell my friend to forget about the whole thing?" Axel asked, his voice low and intense. He shifted his chair closer, his eyes narrowing as he fixed me with a piercing gaze. It was as if I was a suspect, and he was trying to extract the truth from my very mind.I felt a shiver run down my spine under his scrutiny, my heart beating slightly faster. "I...I don't know," I stuttered, trying to think clearly despite the intensity of his gaze."Okay, what if you were the one in this situation?" Axel asked, his voice tight with restrain

    ELIANAI forced down the food Axel had served me, my expression a strained smile that hid the turmoil brewing inside. My senses were numb, and the flavors on my plate might as well have been cardboard. I ate slowly, my eyes scanning the room with anxiety and distraction.Minutes ticked by, and Axel still hadn't returned. His sudden departure after the weird conversation had left me bewildered. I fidgeted in my chair, my unease growing with each passing second. What was taking him so long?Alessia's absence only added to my growing unease. I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing for her return. Her presence had become a comforting constant, and without her, the room felt emptier and darker. I sent a silent plea to the moon goddess, my heart aching: ‘Please, bring her back to me.’As the minutes dragged on, Axel's prolonged absence began to gnaw at me. I was done with my food, and the silence was starting to feel oppressive. My mind wandered to the possibility of going after him, but

    ELIANA"Then why are you here?" she asked, her eyes darting backward every few seconds, as if she feared being ambushed. There was something undeniably odd about her, and I found myself growing increasingly uneasy.Her question caught me off guard, and I felt a spark of defensiveness ignite within me. Did I need permission to be at Axel's? "I'm here with Axel," I said, arching my brow in query. "Is there a problem?"The moment Axel's name left my lips, the stranger's expression transformed. Fear flashed across her face, her eyes widening in alarm. Even I, not exactly skilled at reading expressions, couldn't miss the terror etched on her features.She glanced over her shoulder again, her fear intensifying. Her gaze darted around the room, as if she expected Axel to materialize at any moment. The air seemed to thicken with tension, and I sensed a dark undercurrent lurking beneath the surface."He's not interested in you," she whispered intensely, her eyes locked on mine with a desperat

    ELIANAAxel emerged from the corner, his eyes scanning the hallway with an unnerving intensity. His gaze followed the path the stranger had taken, and for a fleeting moment, I thought I saw a flicker of recognition - in his eyes.Axel's gaze shifted back to me, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked, "Was anyone here?"I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. My eyes darted around to the empty hallway as if searching for an answer. The stranger's sudden departure had left an uncomfortable silence, and I felt caught in the middle, unsure of what to reveal or conceal.I opened my mouth to speak, but the words caught in my throat. Axel's intense stare made me feel like I was withholding a secret, even though I wasn't entirely sure what was going on."Ummm, no," I stammered, the words tumbling out before I could reconsider. I wasn't sure if I had just made a terrible mistake by lying, but it was the best I could come up with on short notice.My mind was a jumble of conflicting emotions and

My hands trembled with rage, my fingers clenched into fists as I fought to maintain a fragile grip on my temper.Everything was going well. I hope Anastasia doesn't ruin it for me. If she does, I would thirst for the last of her blood.I gritted my teeth, my anger simmering just below the surface. I had thought my beta had everything under control, but now I wasn't so sure.
