Chapter Forty-One: Trembled

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-01-09 23:54:14

The air in the isolated hospital room tasted metallic, but the pungent stench of fresh blood didn’t stop; it grew more potent as the sounds of ragged breathing increased.

A muffled wheeze came from a mass on the floor, too bloody to even be considered alive, yet the mass moved all the same, unlike the corpse next to it.

"P-please..."

The man whimpered as his hand pressed his torn-up eye socket to keep himself from losing more blood, but his fingers trembled, nullifying his efforts.

"I didn’t— I told him to stop shooting! I stopped him!"

He cried before a bloody cough followed, further staining the white hospital tiles.

Despite his pleas, Niklaus stepped forward, his shadow swallowing the man whole.

Resignation flickered in his expression when he noticed the cold gaze in Niklaus’ eye didn’t even waver.

The jagged metal railing, now warm in Niklaus’s twisting grip, bent before he raised it again and struck the man, causing the man to scream as if his loyalty disappeared with that blow,

  • The Dominant Alpha's Perfect Obsession with his Janitor   Chapter Forty-Two: The Wrong Thing

    Three days had passed, and Niklaus was seated at the desk they added in Lucien’s hospital room.Fittingly, it had become his new office.The sound of the machines around Lucien had lessened. He now breathed independently, and the doctor marvelled at how fast he was healing.Just the thought that he would soon wake up made a smile touch his lips, even though the document he was reading showed proof of the bastards in his office embezzling from him.The door creaked open, interrupting his thoughts, and the last person he expected slid through the open door.Stephen—his stepfather, although given his role in the bedroom, it was more fitting to call him his stepmother.Niklaus’s eyes scanned the designer loafers that invaded his space with ease. Without looking up at the man who wore his orchid pheromones like perfume, he spoke.“It’s almost as if you have nine lives.”“You can't blame me for being concerned when my only stepson misses the third family dinner in a row. I must say, though…

    The doctor flashes a bright white light directly into my eyes, making me wince."Follow the light."He instructs belatedly as he moves the light from left to right."What’s the last thing you remember?"His voice is calm, as if not wanting to increase my obvious anxiety, but nonetheless, my pulse quickens.The last thing I remember? Waiting for Niklaus to finish fucking a senior and punching him for Maya’s sake. Just because she had expressed her interest in him to me.In hindsight, I had no right to punch him. They had met, what? Thrice? They weren’t in any relationship, so why did I?Even as I ask the question, I already know the answer.When his gaze locked with mine…it almost felt as if he were fucking me.The way his hands tightened on the senior, the ruthless way his golden eyes held mine as he swung his hips-“Mr Sinclair?”The doctor calls, snapping me out of my thoughts.My eyes flicker to Niklaus standing by the door like a menacing statue. “What...what is this? What’s hap

    A warm spoon hovers near my mouth. My eyes watch the steam from the food curl lazily upward and thin out into nothingness.The food itself doesn’t look appealing, but the server…Shit…when did Niklaus get this attractive? The last time I saw him, his features weren’t this sharp. Even the mark on his cheek makes him look dangerously sexy rather than hideously scarred. The sharp contrast of his eyes gave him an almost mystical look. Worse of all…he looks more manly, whereas I…What the hell happened to my muscles?The more I delve into that train of thought, the more my eyes linger on the Niklaus standing before me. Suddenly, sharp golden eyes, the vision of sweat dripping down his cheek, and arms so strong that they could pin down a grown beta flash in my mind.Fuck, am I crazy?Regardless of anything, I like women.“Open.”Niklaus says, finally tired of holding up the spoon for me. "I can feed myself, you know. It’s my ribs that are broken, not my arms."I grumble, yet still, my mou

    Niklaus’ question throws me.“No, of course not. I just-”Niklaus cocks his head to the side as if to say he would not let this slide without an answer. With a sigh, I answer."It’s not that. It’s just… you seem way too important to be sitting in a room with someone like me."I can feel the tips of my ears heat up, so I scratch my cheeks to ease the awkwardness between us.Niklaus stands from his position next to me and grabs my hand to stop my pointless scratching."You’ve lost what… nine years of memories? You… wouldn’t even believe the worth you hold in my eyes if I were to tell you."As he said the words, his tone had softened such that his voice came off scratchy, yet even then, it still sounded soothing.I…don’t think I ever want to go on a group date with him; he would likely steal all the ladies. Then again, he seems fine with men. "I’ll bring you chicken for dinner."As if the soft tingle I felt from his words was a mirage, he pulls away after promising chicken.My hand care

    The smell of fried chicken lingered in the air annoyingly as Niklaus balanced the takeout bag in his hand.He shifted it from one hand to the other, not because it was heavy but because it was oily, and he didn’t like it.He couldn’t understand why Lucien had such…greasy taste in favourites, but he didn’t fight it either.Niklaus’s phone, which had been on fire since the spread of the fake news of their engagement, buzzed again, causing him to stop before Lucien’s room.After taking a deep breath, he reached for his phone in his pocket and contrary to his fears, his fingers were not oily as he clicked the phone screen to life.[I will arrange a press conference; this engagement story is a sick joke, Niklaus] -Father.[Have you gone crazy?] -Stepbitch.As the number of unread messages increased to one hundred and fifty-seven, Niklaus turned off his phone and focused on Lucien on the other side of the door.By now, with his sleuth personality, Niklaus anticipated that Lucien would be pi

    “What Beta standards? Don’t change the subject, and since you would be my first man, from my memory, I qualify as at most bi! But…I just…why? Why didn’t you say anything to me? Why do I need to find out that sort of information from a TV station turned on by accident!”"Do you know how many times you told me you wanted a beta woman? I’d need an accountant to do the math because that is how many times you rejected me."Niklaus answered as he bent to pick up the food on the floor.He hated the grease soaking his hands, but Lucien has a soft side for the pitiful. "Lucien...your memories have regressed by nine years. Do you know how long it took for you to look at me? to see me in the way I see you?"At his intentionally soft tone, Lucien’s brows furrowed.He lifted his body and deposited the spilt chicken back in its box before leaving it on the table next to Lucien, even though he couldn’t eat it anymore. He could have thrown it in the bin, but the message ‘I did this for you’ rang cl

    NiklausThe abandoned building reeked of mildew, and despite the lack of glass on the open windows to block the outside air, the atmosphere still held a certain staleness. The early morning sun streamed in warmly, but the cold was too sharp even for the rising sun to chase away.Niklaus shifted his long legs on the chair opposite Maya, who was bound in ropes.It was the third day of her kidnapping, but her cheeks still looked full and plump; the only evidence that she harboured a sign of resistance was her busted lip, which looked both healed and fresh based on the clotted skin and yet still, somehow, it had fresh blood glittering on the scarred surface as though she had picked it apart just a few hours ago."I said it once, and I will say it again: I don’t want your money, Nikky."That name again…It was the second time hearing it this week. He hated it coming from her lips, but today was a good day; Lucien was being discharged, so he didn’t want anything to sully his mood."You haven

    Trigger Warning: Threats Of Sexual Assault.Maya’s lips trembled at Niklaus’ thoughtless answer.“Then why...him? Oh… I get it now… because he was a beta? Hah! Haven't you been watching too many Disney movies? Are you about to say something cliché like, ‘Lucien saw me for who I really am because he couldn’t smell me’?"Her mockery rang loud, but Niklaus remained unphased."Well, if I had to get technical…”He began, swaying his heel left and right on the ground as if the subject excited him."I just… can’t stop my mind from fucking him. I swear, every time I see him, I want to bend him over and slide my cock into him…God, it’s even worse when he cries. He looks so cute. You don’t have a dick, so you won't get it, but his throat is-""You’re sick."Maya interrupted, her face twisted bitterly in disgust at his words before her gaze travelled to his pants, drawn by the upright member piercing through.A faint blush struck her face before she turned away.Niklaus adjusted his sitting postu

  • The Dominant Alpha's Perfect Obsession with his Janitor   Chapter Sixty-Four: Intoxicating

    My heart thunders loudly in my chest, the beastly sound serenading my earnest exit.Skipping the elevator, I rush straight for the stairs, taking two at a time until I reach the back door.The bag I left is still there, so I switch out my dark hoodie for a light one in case it's identifiable. As soon as I make the switch, I turn to the door and grab the knob, but unlike the freedom that I envisioned, my hand stings as soon as I hold the knob, causing me to groan and take several steps back."What the hell, why is it hot?"The door swings open with a heavy force before the answer can even form in my mind. Two men in full gear step in, their black rifles raised and aimed directly at me.My breath catches in my throat.Contrary to my instinct to stand still and raise my arms in submission, my legs turn back towards the steps.Niklaus looked up at me. But the angle, he couldn’t have seen me, could he?No, no way, even if he did, I shot immediately, so… fuck.How?My mind races as I calcul

    I can feel my chest heave from the burning anger at his words, but fighting him like this when I have never won a physical fight with him is pointless."Don't touch me."I say as I slap his hand away from my hair."How long?"He asks as he steps away from me, pressing his hand to his nose as if inhaling it, but I don't have a scent, so maybe he is rubbing his nose."What?""How long until you make a move on me, Luci."By move, does he mean how long until I try to kill him?Hah...this lunatic."Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long."**“What’s this?”Niklaus asks, gesturing to the pillows I set up in the middle of the bed as he dries his dripping wet hair with a damp towel.As if tired, he tosses the towel aside and pulls the one on his waist off, exposing himself to me.Why…why the fuck is he hard?I groan inwardly as I turn my gaze away from him.“Turn off the lights when you are done.”I say, before switching off the lamp by my side.After a bit of shuffling around, the pillo

    "There, dinner."I say as I place a bowl of burnt pasta in front of Niklaus."You should be a chef...""I thought I wasn't allowed to work."I answer cooly as I walk to my seat."I was under the impression that spaghetti is prepared by boiling. How did you manage to burn it? That shows talent that shouldn't be ignored.""Oh, haha..."Without smelling or waiting for the steam to fade, Niklaus pokes his fork into the charred mess, spins the charred white strings covered in red sauce on his fork, and eats it.If it had poison, I'd be as good as done now...But something about what Anna said makes me doubtful of poison as a means to kill him.She mentioned being immune; is Niklaus the same?"So, where did you go?"Niklaus asks as he wipes his lips with the napkin, his lips obviously twisted in disgust."Out. Are you not going to finish your meal?""It's not poisoned, is it? Since it's not, there is no need for me to finish it. It's disgusting; hire a chef, honey."I groan at the word ‘hon

    "Don't touch me."I growl the words when Niklaus’s hands wrap around my waist as we leave the car.Of course, he doesn't listen, leading me to push his hand off my frame."I'm meeting Anna Stone tomorrow for coffee.""Coffee? That's funny. Why is my husband meeting another woman?”“We aren’t married yet.”“Three days isn’t long, Lucien.”“You are rushing this. I told you that for this to be believable, we need at least six months.”Niklaus shrugs.“I don’t care about believability; I am not selling a story; I am tying you to me, permanently. And about meeting Anastasia tomorrow…hmm, it might not be possible.”He adds casually.“Why not?”To my question, Niklaus places his hand on my waist and pushes me towards the house, but rather than the sight of the staff welcoming us back home most of them have suitcases.“What’s going on?”“Well, you are the new madam of the house, so you get to redesign this place, from the staff to the artwork.”“Are you- Did you fire them?”“Yes, they were se

    Revenge with a baby is messy.Dear God, am I really going down as someone who murdered my child’s father?Well, they don’t have to know. I don’t mind being a tragic widower as long as we’re rich. But what kind of life is that? Hah… I don’t want to resemble this bastard.“There is no need for the surgery.”I whisper the words, but the stillness in the room means they heard me.“Pardon my interruption, but without pheromones-”“Beta women give birth fine.”I counter.“Yes, beta women, not men. The male omega faculties are regulated by their ability to flow and receive pheromones. That is why morning sickness is worse without the child’s father and-” “Fine, fine.”I say, waving my hands in the air.“It’s fine; I will just not keep it, so there is no need to continue with the explanations.”Even as I say the words, my hand still strokes my belly, as if I were talking about a situation that doesn’t concern me.Deathly silence follows my confession.“By ‘it’, you mean…”The doctor prods as

    Niklaus rose abruptly from his seat. His force pushed my chair back slightly, making me realise he had never locked it in place."A recessive omega? I never said the type you were."His lips curl into a lethal smile."It- it was obvious from our agreement that you sleep with a dominant omega during your rut."The blood rushing in my veins at the word ‘pregnant’ warms my skin.I can feel my muscles tense as thoughts of running fill my head, but the bastard's large build blocks me.Is that why he stood?"Right...Right, our Luci sure is sharp. I bet your little head is racing right now.""Can w-we stay on topic?"Niklaus strides slowly towards me like a predator. His large hand cups my collarbone before he moves behind my chair.I half expect him to push it, but something clicks into place, jolting me—the lock."Wha-"My words halt in my throat when his hand slides down my collar and lifts the hospital shirt, exposing my chest."What are you-"Before I can express my outrage, both of Nik

    "Married?"I repeat the word as though it tastes bitter.Perhaps lying and saying that my last memory was the kiss at the ball made him too brazen because what kind of nonsense is this?“Yes, Lucien, at the ball, we had a lengthy discussion, and you decided to honour our arrangement to get married.”...the audacity of this man.His warm hand caresses mine. I want to smack his hand away, but again, the roughness in his touch, as if he were desperate, is intoxicating.Don't worry, Niklaus; it gets worse. I will make sure of it."I'm sorry, I just...put yourself in my shoes; this is coming from nowhere."I lift my gaze to him, softening my eyes as if I don’t know any better."Lucien... you saw the news; our wedding was incoming before the accident. Plus, is it really from out of nowhere when we are engaged?"Biting my lip draws his focus to the plump flesh; alphas are so easy to seduce; seriously, I don’t even have pheromones, but I can smell the hunger off him.Still, I expected to be t

    Niklaus’s fingers tapped ferociously against his chair. It was an abrupt meeting that needed his attention, one that didn't seem to end, and one in which his father was in attendance, so if he skipped it, he could be punished by a poisoned meal.Nothing like familial love to bond people."Tell me about your wedding plans, son."The person giving the presentation froze at this question, which was clearly out of topic."I thought this was a very important meeting?"Niklaus asked, testing his father in the same way."Your mother is very worried about you.""You mean stepfather, and I'll get back to you on that during the next family dinner.""I have arranged a meeting between you and Anastasia Stone-""I appreciate it, but Anna and I-""The meeting will be at three pm. Dress in golf attire, I hear she takes after her father."His mouth pressed into a fine line.“My engagement is real.”“To a beta?”His father spat out.“We have an arrangement.”“Whatever arrangement, the Heinrichs only n

    For some reason, the car ride home was tense. Even the hum of the engine couldn’t soothe my mangled nerves.Despite the countless times I rubbed my lips, which still tingled from the unfamiliar kiss, the sensation of Niklaus’s roughness on me neither faded nor fizzled.Why the hell did I moan when he flicked my nipples? I am a beta….Why did he even flick my nipple? I want to scream sexual assault because all this time, I thought of him as a kid brother instead of the panting beast from that time, but we are engaged…we are engaged, right?Fuck.I curse inwardly; the buds on my chest, which I often refer to as dud, feel tender for some reason.My body curls further at the thoughts clouding my mind before I turn my gaze to Niklaus. He still looks furious.Yet despite the fury on his face being my fault—just a gut feeling, each time the headlights of a passing car washes his frame, I am drawn to his mystical beauty.Whoever knew eyes could be that blue.My mouth dries as his gaze turns to
