Semua Bab The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession : Bab 71 - Bab 80

AXEL As I gazed at her, water droplets cascaded down her body, and I found myself swallowing hard. My eyes were drawn to her curves, particularly the soft, rounded contours of her bust, even beneath the thick towels wrapped around her. I was captivated by the way her cheeks flushed a deep red whenever I spoke, but her scent had a contradictory effect on me. Instead of repelling me, it stirred something within, and I was infuriated by my attraction to it. “You could just rub the ointment on my shoulders and legs," her lips moved as she spoke. My gaze was transfixed on them, and I almost missed her words, my attention caught by the gentle curve of her mouth. Are you aware that I'm your king?" I inquired. Her eyes locked on mine as she moved closer to the bed. I nodded, my voice low. "I am aware... my lord." The way she added the title. Had an effect. It was a new dynamic, but it stirred something deep within me, something I couldn't quite explain. Something I deeply de

ELIANAAs wolves, nudity was a natural part of our lives, especially during shifts and pack gatherings. Yet, despite the familiarity, I couldn't shake off the feeling of shyness as Axel's gaze swept over me.His piercing gaze settled on me, and I felt a flush rise to my cheeks. The intensity of his scrutiny was unnerving. I looked away, my heart racing with a mix of shyness and unease.I was captivated by the way Axel looked at me - his eyes sparkled with a sense of wonder as if he had been presented with a precious jewel. The admiration in his gaze made my heart skip a beat, and I felt a flutter in my chest.Gabriel's eyes had never held the same fervent admiration that Axel's did now. The realization stung: even on our mating day, It was a painful reminder that my mate had never truly looked at me with the same depth of passion and appreciation.Alessia's voice whispered in my mind, her presence a sudden, unsettling intrusion. ‘His eyes are beautiful,’ she cooed, her tone dripping

ELIANAHis piercing gaze held mine, refusing to yield, as he replied, "You heard me right, pixie. I don't repeat myself." The intensity of his stare amplified the flutter in my chest. His words were laced with a quiet confidence, leaving me breathless.Was he kidding me? Pulling my leg? Why would he, of all people, be interested in... me? Eliana, the very same person the pack deemed worthless? The thought stung, and I couldn't help but wonder if this was some cruel joke.The fleeting spark of hope was quickly extinguished as Vivian's venomous words echoed in my mind. The memory of her scornful tone made my mood plummet. "You're not worthy to be loved by him," she'd sneered. "You might only be fortunate enough to be part of his harem." The words stung, and I felt a familiar pang of insecurity.A nagging voice in my head whispered that maybe Vivian was right. Maybe he was just trying to add me to his collection, a trophy to be won and discarded at his whim. I felt a stinging sense of re

ELIANA"Alessia, what's gotten into you?" I scolded, my voice laced with concern. Few days ago, she had been the one cautioning me about Axel's intentions, warning me to keep my distance. Now, it seemed like she'd done a complete 180, her obsession with him bordering on alarming. It was as if she'd been brainwashed, her eyes taking on a glassy, far-off quality whenever she mentioned his name. I was starting to worry about her, and I didn't know how to snap her out of it.Just as I was trying to make sense of Alessia's sudden obsession, a knock at the door broke the tension. I hesitated for a moment, expecting it to be Axel on the other side. But to my surprise, it was Tom, Axel's beta, who stood in the doorway, his eyes scanning the room with a mixture of curiosity and caution.My eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown as I recalled our last encounter, the tension between us still palpable. "Hello," I said curtly, my tone neutral. Tom's expression remained impassive, but I detected a fli

ELIANAMy heart racing accelerated, my pulse quickening to a frantic pace. A single, terrifying question echoed through my mind: Had Axel finally uncovered the truth - that I had been deceiving him all along?There was no way I could confess the truth about my father with Cannis standing there, listening in. The risk was too great, and I knew I had to protect my secret, at least for now.I was terrified that I might let something slip, and Axel wouldn't believe me. If that happened, Cannis would undoubtedly report back to my father, and my punishment would be severe. The thought sent a chill down my spine.I couldn't help but notice a subtle shift in Axel's demeanor. He had never been warm or friendly, always maintaining a stoic exterior. But today, I sensed something underlying, a hint of emotion simmering just beneath the surface, making me wonder what could be driving this unexpected change.It might simply be one of his characteristic mood swings, or perhaps there was something mo
