Lessia's POV: I woke up to see Kian standing before me dressed up, like he was already leaving for work. His body looked as beautiful as it always had been. The light from the sun, stabbing through the window, shone on him, making him seem golden in my eyes.I glanced at the wall-clock to see how long I had slept. It turned out I didn’t oversleep, Kian just happened to wake up earlier. With the events that took place last night, I doubted that I would be leaving the room anytime soon.I smiled at him. I waited for a while, to see if he would by any chance turn around to return my smile. He did not. It seemed like he hadn't even noticed that I was looking at him, or that I was even awake."Good morning, love," I greeted, hoping to get his attention. He didn't reply me, nor did he even act like I had even said anything. It was troubling to me. Had I done something wrong? Or said something I shouldn’t have? I was both curious and perplexed.I had several questions play out in my head.
Lessia's POV: I did not understand Kian's behavior in the least. One moment he was saying something, the next he was saying another. His attitude was a hard ball for me to decode.I knew he was upset about the vase, but I didn’t have anything to do with it. I don’t know why he wouldn’t believe me. I would never hurt him on purpose.Why would I break a vase just like that? I’m definitely not a psychopath, neither do I hold any grudge against him, that I would deliberately do something to hurt him.But one thing I sure knew for me, was that I didn't like any of it. Either way, I realized I was famished, and as usual I couldn't skip food for anything in the world, not even for the deep uncertainty I was feeling at the moment. Not even for my annoyance for Kian.I made my way for the bathroom where I had my bath. After that I scurried out and got dressed in the cloth I found perfect enough for breakfast. For some reason, I intended looking nice for him. Despite everything he had just don
Kian's POV The maids scurried away as soon as I had told them to, leaving the place for just the both of us. I was pleased with that. I didn't know for myself what had come over me. What had once been annoyance had now morphed itself into hunger for her right there, right then.It was obvious that a sexual tension has lingered between us for a while. I desired Lessia, it was hard staying close to her without touching her. But I was upset, and I didn’t want my need to be intimate with her cloud my judgement. I would act this way, until I was certain that she didn’t break the vase. A good Alpha has to make decisions without being influenced by his mate’s pussy.I got back into kissing her. This time she didn't seem to be relenting. She grabbed me by my hair, rubbed her hands over my back and everywhere else. I could tell she was enjoying the kiss as much as I was, and she wanted me as much as I did her.Her nails dug in my skin, causing a pleasure pain sensation in me that drove me ev
Lessia's POV: I had a tussle in my conscience concerning how I had left Kian hanging his lips out in a kiss. A part of me was ridden with guilt, another, backed up with a reason, approved of it.I wanted that moment to last forever, if he were possible. I needed him to kiss me until I was out of breath, and assure me that he would always feel that way about me, no matter what happened.I was sick and tired of him being sweet for a second, and then rejecting me in the next second, like I was a play thing for him. He might have done that only once, but I couldn't stand to have him do it again. I was beginning to feel like he only wanted me for the sex. It wasn't that I gave that any mind—I did not. I liked him enough to let him do it, but if he was going to stick to that game, I might as well play it with him. That was the reason I left him that way.Before Kian, I never thought I deserved to be treated rightly, or that my feelings even mattered. But now, he had shown me the proper way
Kian's POV Seeing Lessia with the sword in hand, was not as surprising to me as much as seeing her with the guard—same guard I had seen her with last time, enraged me.If Nicholas was wise, he wouldn’t as much as breathe the same air as Lessia, after I let him off the first time. What type of guard did not understand that an Alpha does not appreciate the idea of seeing his mate with another man, even if it’s a guard, for no reason whatsoever.If he was deliberately being defiant, I would make sure he gets a suitable punishment for that.He was a young guard, with the look of a Roman god, the ones found in books. Even as a guard, I took note of the way maids acted around him. Many of them threw themselves at him without batting an eye. I’ve also heard them on so many occasions talk about his member. My mind wasn’t settled, what if Lessia—I shook my head immediately. I didn’t even want to think of that. Lessia was mine and mine alone. And she knew that.A lot of questions spun themsel
Maddox POV These past few months have been the most uneventful. I thought I was getting used to life without Lessia, but it seemed my obsession with her grew stronger and stronger, each day that passed by without her in my life.I had stopped sending her messages because they yielded nothing. I was a practical man, I needed results, not a constant rejection from someone I had bought from her own parents.I thought about her parents, I had bought her from them, what if I met them and threatened them to ask her to come back to me? I thought to myself.I was certain she loved her parents too much that she would rather see them dead than be with me. It was a good plan, I just needed a clear head space to think and plan it carefully. And that was what took me to my next location. A place I hadn’t visited in a while; a brothel.An awful lot of women were in the brothel as usual. One could see them dancing, having fun, drinking, and trying to catch their next costumer.My eyes danced across
Maddox POV: "What are you doing?" She said. "I did—""Shhh! Shut the fuck up, Lessia! You thought you could leave me and get away with it, huh? I bought you, you slut. You belonged to me, and only me. Not that stupid man you chose over me.”“I am really not Lessia, Sir, I am Lisa, the waitress at the bar whom you offered money to—““You know what happens when you defy me, Lessia. So don’t!”The fear in her eyes aroused me as much as it reminded me of her. I knew she wasn’t Lessia, but they looked very much alike, and it was fun practicing with her, what I would do to Lessia when she comes back to me."Who is Lessia?" she asked with her voice strained."I said, shut the hell up, Lessia," I thundered at her as I unleashed the belt on her body. She let out a scream. It caused me only arousal and made my cock erect.“Fuck, Lessia, the things you do to me, you have no idea how much I desire you, not even the slightest clue.”"Who are you? I don’t understand, I haven’t done anything to you
Kian's POV I was distraught by the news. Again, I thought. Once more, the Pack was under attack. I felt hopeless but still I didn't want to show it. Lessia was around. I didn't want to give her the slightest hint that I was beginning to get worried about the constant attacks from bandits.I knew she would think Maddox had something to do with it, and the fear might cause her to run away. I didn’t want to lose her, I know I’ve only been with her for a few months, but it seemed like I had been with her for a life time, and I couldn’t imagine my life anymore without her in it.When the guard informed me something had happened, she was just beside me, I didn’t want her to know what happened, so I asked her to stay. But Lessi was just too defiant."Stay here," I said before marching with the guard."No" she said defiantly, going on to follow behind me. Something I sort of expected, knowing who she was.I didn't have the time or energy to bicker with her so I ignored and continued moving f
