All Chapters of Sold To The Stongest Alpha: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

MAXINEThe door creaked softly as I pushed it open. I held my breath in anticipation as I stepped inside. My eyes swept across the room.I stood there frozen in place. This wasn't what I expected. I expected to see a bed, and some bedroom furniture but, this wasn’t a bedroom. It was something else entirely.It was a really large and dimly lit space. In the center, taking most of the space was a bath. It was sunken, in the ground. Steam rose and filled the room in soft and curling waves. They were coming from the water. It was like stepping into another world, one that was thick with warmth and heat.And there, in the center of it all, was Ronan.He was half in the water. His head was resting against the edge of the bath. He closed his eyes as though he was lost in thought. The water lapped gently at his broad shoulders. The steam surrounded his muscular frame. He almost seemed, otherworldlyHis face was relaxed but there was a tension in his body that I hadn’t noticed from him before.

RONANI stared at the ceiling as I stood in the bathroom. The faint scent of lavender from the bath still hung in the air. It was a reminder of the moment I had just walked away from. I could still feel the ghost of Maxine’s touch on my skin. The way her lips against mine and the way her body had pressed against me, were so soft and inviting.I had almost lost control. I had almost given in.The thought filled me with a bitter taste of something very close to defeat. It would have been so easy to keep going. To have let that moment consume the both of us and forget about the world outside this room. To have let myself forget about the bloodshed and impossible choices I had made to stay alive. I could have buried myself in her care.But I couldn’t. Not when I knew that Liam still had a hold on her heart.I splashed water on my face in the sink. I reached for a towel and grabbed it from the rack, rubbing it across my face and then my body. I did it with a little more force than necessar

MAXINEHe said nothing. Instead, he let out a breath and closed his eyes. Like me, he was listening to the wind passing by and feeling the sun on his face."Well?" I decided to push for an answer.“This place,” Ronan began, opening his eyes to look around, “it’s one of the few things I’ve managed to keep intact amidst all the chaos in my life. I like to think that it’s a reminder that there’s still beauty in the world. Even if the beauty is buried under layers of darkness.”I looked at him. Was he answering my question or he was just going off? I was trying to read the meaning behind his words. His face was calm and I couldn't read anything off of that. I couldn't understand this man.If he didn't want to answer me directly, I guess I could play that game. "When did you get this place?" I asked instead.I didn't think he would answer. Since he was always evading personal questions, I expected him to evade this one too but then, he said, "After I left the pack when Liam became Alpha, I

MAXINEI didn't say a word.He was flirting with me, no doubt. The bigger problem was that I didn't know whether he was lying."Well," I began, "I can't talk all day, can I?"It earned a smile from him. "You have a lovely voice, Maxine. I completely enjoyed listening to that.” He said, going for another compliment.I managed to give him a small smile in return “I’m glad you liked it." I replied."You know," he continued as he stood to his feet. He unfolded his hands from across his chest. "I think after listening to that, you deserve a reward.""A reward? What would you give me?" I asked, looking up at him with curious eyes. I hadn't expected him to want to give me anything.He walked over to the door with so much grace and stopped in front of it. “What would you like?” he asked.I paused, hesitant. "Anything?"He nodded. "Anything," he replied."Let me go," I replied without missing a beat. I saw the slight change in his expression and I realized I had ruined everything."I can't do

MAXINEIt was small but it was there. "You can use your magic?" I asked, unable to hide my shock.She slapped her palm over my mouth and looked over my shoulder at the door. "Keep your voice down." She chided.I nodded and she let go of me. "How is that possible?" I asked."I've been trying to push through the constraints. It's hard and some days, I just end up sleeping all day." She replied, showing me the binds. "I think I might be able to break them or better still, cause them to be ineffective."I pulled my lips into a straight line, serious. "Find a way to make the latter work. It would be in your favor. It would give you time to plan an escape without them realizing it."She nodded, getting up and going to pick up the notebook she had been scribbling in. "I'm working to see how I can use my magic to leave this room without using the door." She said."Like, teleporting?" I asked, my eyes widening even more."Yes," She said. "I think I'm almost close to perfecting it. I tried it w
