All Chapters of I'm My Alpha's Fated Love: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I couldn’t believe it. I was finally free of that filthy place. Instead, I was now walking inside a luxurious castle owned by Alexander’s family. I knew that I shouldn’t have been comfortable enough to smile, especially since my place there was still in question, but with the years of living as a slave, I thought I could afford to be a little happy. Alexander told me that I would join his family for dinner that night. I wondered what would be our main course, the dessert, and the drinks. My stomach was already grumbling just by thinking of the delicious food that I would eat. To get ready for our dinner, I decided to wear the best dress that I had, a blue dress that hugged my curves perfectly. While this dress was a little old to fit in this lavish abode, I believed that it could give me a little boost of confidence. So right after putting a little powder on my face and making sure that my hair was neat, I went out of my bedroom and walked down the stairs to meet Alexander and his fa

*Charlotte’s POV*I woke up feeling more well-rested than ever before. I remembered the first day I was forced to work in that bar. I was still in a sleepy state when someone yanked me down from the small bed where I was sleeping. There was a loud thud inside the room when I fell down, and then before I could say a word, a broom and mop were thrown in front of me. It was an obvious sign that I needed to start my first day of work as their maid.But today, as the ray of sunlight crept into my bedroom, no one was there to yank me down from the bed and force me to start the day by cleaning their filthy place, then wearing a uniform to work in a bar surrounded by underground criminals and maniacs. It was now up to me if I wanted to sleep a little longer and let myself enjoy the softness of the mattress. It was a wonder how someone's life could change overnight, whether for good or not.My thoughts were interrupted with a soft knock on the door. I looked at the clock hanging on the wal

*Charlotte*My face heated a million degrees as I hooked my arms around his torso unwillingly, hoping to god I didn’t touch anything important, but even as I tried to squint my eyes so I couldn’t see anything, I could still feel his burning hot skin under my fingers.His abdomen muscles clenched as he leaned over me, powerful and heavy, and the towel he had been wearing was now lying on the fucking ground.Dammit, I thought, not sure if I was sweating from the effort of trying to keep us upright or from being so intimately close to a naked man. He groaned, and from where he was half laying on top of me, I could feel the rumble in his chest, my heart pounding in my ears as I struggled to stay on my feet and drag Alexander towards his bedroom at the same time. As badly as I wanted to just throw my hands up and forget this whole situation, I knew I couldn’t. He could barely stand on his own let alone make it back to his bed, but that didn’t stop me from letting out a stri

*Charlotte*His hand in mine, my waist caught gently in his grip as he easily held me up like I weighed nothing. The scowl I’d associated with him wasn’t present today, instead, there was a complicated look in his eyes, like words he wanted to say were unable to form. Alexander frowned as he caught me from falling, steadying me back on my feet and my hands landed on his chest as we stood still in the middle of the luxurious ballroom. Would we be this close when dancing at the welcoming party? Would his hands feel so large and warm in mine? Would he hold me as closely as he was now, like I was something precious and delicate?There was an overload of my emotions as I stood there, my heart rapidly beating in my chest and my head empty of all normal thoughts that would usually be racing. Instead, all I could focus on was his blue eyes staring into mine. Like he could see straight past me and straight into the core of my being, exposing even the darkest thoughts I kept hi

*Charlotte*On the day of the welcoming party, the whole castle was submerged in an ocean of flowers. Garland strung around columns, beautiful bouquets hanging from delicately constructed decorations. I found Luna Diana waiting for me by my door before breakfast and she proudly took me on a tour of the castle, supervising the last-minute decorations going up and ensuring every petal and leaf was perfect. I accompanied her, as she insisted on telling me every little flower and its meaning in the old language.Each doorway was lined with an arch of safflowers and sunflowers, sweet peas, wisteria, and yellow lilies. “Separate, they mean, ‘Happiness, gratitude, and hospitality,’ but together, they take upon the meaning of ‘We are happy to have you here.’ It is an old custom that each Luna welcomes the guests in their own unique way. Flowers have always held a deep meaning to me which is why Finnley nearly doubled the garden when we first mated,” Luna Diana kindly explained, a
