**Scarlett's POV**I looked at him amusingly the second that question left his mouth. Why was he asking anyway? Besides, there was no way I would still love a man who betrayed and accused me of something I know nothing about.“I hate monsters!” Was the answer I gave him.He was shocked when I said that and blinked.“You called me a monster a few minutes ago. Does that mean you hate me too?” He asked, looking intently at me with a serious expression on his face.It wasn't clear to me why he was asking all these weird questions. Since I told him what was wrong, his attitude changed, and he started acting unusual, making me wonder what was wrong. Why was he being nice and why the question?Well, he comforted me and gave me his shoulders to cry on even when I tried pushing him away, but that doesn't mean he isn't a monster.“Yes, I hate you.” I answered. In as much as I tried to make my voice firm, it came out playful instead.“You hate your helper?” He asked amusingly.“My helper is a di
**Scarlett's POV**I was shocked. “The Alpha?” I asked to be certain. Because I didn't know whether it was a slip of tongue or something.“Yes, the Alpha.” She answered with a smile.“I'm sorry, but why?” I asked.“Have you been to another part of the universe?” She rolled her eyes. “Don't you know what has been trending in the palace? Sheesh, I'm surprised it involves you and yet, you have zero idea about it.”I shrugged to show that I had no idea about what she was talking about. “Please, tell me because I don't know.”She closed the door and came closer to me. “The Alpha passed an order that no palace guard should come 10ft close to you, else he would behead them,” She whispered.Arnold told me this, and I've noticed it too.“He instructed the maids to serve you food in your quarters separately, so you wouldn't have to stay in the same dining hall with them. He also instructed the slave masters to stay away from and that you would do no slave duty ever again. Apparently, anything t
**Alpha Xavier's POV**The way she looked at me after saying that was totally funny. The more I tried to stop laughing, the funnier it got. Like seriously? Obviously, she didn't find it funny because she glared at me.“Did that sound funny to you? I'm here lamenting about the mess you put both of us in, and you're laughing?” She asked, glaring harder.“Mess? I put us in no mess. You should be grateful for what I did instead of scolding me.” I rolled my eyes.“Grateful? I am now the trending topic in this palace.” She facepalmed.“So what if they're talking about us? Is it bad if they suspect something is going on between us?” I asked.She paused and looked at me. “But nothing is going on.” She answered.“What if something was going on?” I stood up and faced her.“Umm…” She trailed off and looked at me. We continued staring at each other without saying anything. I felt like I was communicating through my eyes while staring at her. The feeling of loneliness I had a few minutes ago sudde
*Scarlett's POV**I can't believe he tricked me!I should have known!He burst into laughter, happy with himself that he had tricked me. Even though I had done all these to make him forget his pain and have a little fun, I actually took this swimming thing seriously.“You're so gullible.” He laughed again, and believe me when I say his laugh was the cutest. The moon goddess must have blessed today because I got to see different sides of the Alpha. Today, he didn't look at me with those eyes of hatred, but looked at me the way a friend would look at another.I facepalmed and glared at him, but then I remembered I was naked under a swimming pool with him and there was no one here. I suddenly realized what he had planned, but before I could process everything, he had swum to where I was.“Alpha Xa—” I was about to talk, but he placed his index finger on my lips.“Shhh.” He said and captured my lips in a slow yet passionate kiss, one that left me breathless. I didn't know how to react to
**Alpha Xavier's POV**I can't keep my hands off her, and it's beginning to drive me crazy. Everything I think about is her, and seeing how she was trying her best to put a smile on my face, warmed my heart. Even after everything I have done to her, she still decided to stay by me and let me be with her.With my head still rested on hers, I opened my eyes and saw that her eyes were still closed. She seemed to be thinking about something. I stared at her flawless facial features and sighed. Everything about her was just so overwhelming, and I'm scared, thinking that I have fallen in love with her. Avery and I didn't end well, and I wanted to avoid having another woman in my life then end up getting broken again, but there was something about Scarlett that always overrides my thoughts. She was strong and resilient and would never hesitate to give her opinions. I pulled away from the hug and a rush of cold went down my body again. My body felt warm when I was close to her, but now, all
**Scarlett's POV**My eyes blinked.“Take the first move? What do you mean by that?” I asked.I wasn't still happy that he had cheated, but now I felt like I shouldn't have joined this race in the first place. He said nothing and held my hand, then pulled me out of the water. Even though he had seen my nakedness before, I still couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so I tried to cover up, and he brought my hands down.“We're just standing here. Don't you know someone might walk in on us?” I asked.“No one is coming until I am gone.” He answered and. I bit my lips. He threw a towel at me and I used it to wipe my body dry.He picked up my clothes and carried my panty, but I spanked it hand and quickly collected it, my face flushing red. He looked at me amusingly, and I quickly looked away from him. I heard him chuckle slowly.“Don't you want me to help you get dressed?” He asked, and I internally rolled my eyes.“Since when did that start?” I looked away as a blush crept to my cheek. Goo
**Scarlett's POV**“Fuck me, Alpha Xavier!” I exclaimed, wrapping my hands around his neck again. “I will, Scarlett.” He replied and swiftly removed my clothes, leaving me in only my bra and panties. His lips landed on mine again as he started unhooking my bra from the hook, throwing it on a nearby chair.“Goodness!” I moaned as he continued to assault my mouth with his own, both hands now gripping my thighs tightly.His fingers slipped beneath my underwear and slid over my heated pussy. I let out another moan at the feeling of him entering me. “Oh gosh, Alpha!”He began pumping his fingers in and out of me quickly as he sucked on my bottom lip while making loud groaning noises every once in a while. A small moan escaped my mouth at this action as I felt an intense pleasure shoot through me.My hands were wrapped tight around his broad shoulders as my nails dug into his pale skin, causing him to let out a low growl, which made me shiver and moan even louder. Instantly, my underwear
**Alpha Xavier's POV**“You're beautiful.” I muttered as I watched her sleep soundly without providing a care in the world. Her red hair fell to her face and I tucked it behind her ears, while glancing at her face. I just couldn't get enough of her, and the way she made me feel was like something I had never felt before.I looked out her window and saw that it was already dark. It made me wonder how many hours we actually used to fuck each other. I faced her, and she wrapped her legs around me, giving my dick another chance to slide into her hot pussy.“Fuck!” I grunted as my dick became hard again. She had so much effect on me that I prayed I wouldn't get addicted to her.She moved again, and my dick hit her walls. She moaned out in her sleep and I started thrusting into her slowly.Her eyes snapped open. “What are you doing?” She asked drowsily while rubbing her eyes.“I can't get enough of you, Scarlett. Let's go for one more round.” I requested. It wasn't something I normally did.
