Elma Pov
Strip…
My heart sank.
This has got to be a nightmare.
and I felt with everything in me that I was in a nightmare I would never wake up from.
The chamber was dimly lit so I could barely see the sinister gleam in his eyes.
“Did you not hear me. I said—“
“No.”
“No?”
In a flash, he was in front of me—more than six feet of lean muscle. I couldn’t meet his gaze, choosing to stare at his naked chest. I gulped and looked away.
“Up here, girl,” he said in a hiss, guiding my face so I was looking directly into his eyes.
“Do you know how many people have refused my orders?” Xander asked. His fingers had begun to trail down from my jaw to the open neck of my sheer robe.
I shuddered.
His scent was strong, his alpha will was even stronger. I could feel my wolf stirring against my wish.
“I-I don’t care…”
“Oh? You’re a feisty one, I see.” His hands trailed down even lower, grazing the top of breasts, my cleavage, the sides of my thighs. “Pity,” he said. “I’ve never quite taken no for an answer.”
“But I am not that cruel a beast. I’ll just have to convince you, little breeder.”
And then his lips met mine. Contrary to how crass he sounded, his kiss was soft, gentle even.
“Please…” I try to resist but my wolf was shuddering in bliss. Was it because of the gap in power between us? Or was it something else?
There was no time to rationalise anything. Xander had pressed his body against mine, his hands were wandering. He slid down the robe, exposing my breasts completely to him. He let out a small growl before claiming a n****e in his mouth.
I cried out, unable to keep down my erratic desire. It was stupid. Absurd even that this stranger could awaken me like this.
My hand gripped on to his head, fingers deep in his hair, holding him as he licked and sucked ever so passionately. He reached out and grabbed the hand I had on his head. In one swift move, he took the other and held them above my head, pinning me to the wall.
“Just look at you,” he said in a low and breathy tone. Mocking. “I haven’t even touched you and yet you’re already so needy.”
A crooked smile stretched his lips. “Come here,” he said before lifting me up from the ground, his hands firmly digging into my thighs. I gasped, completely taken off my guard. I had never thought a man would so elegantly sweep me off my feet—literally.
But seeing the smug look on his face, I was covered in disdain. Such a horrible, perverted king.
My thoughts of disgust vanished immediately as his lips met mine. This time, he was merciless, kissing me with such intensity I thought I’d melt completely. I could feel his growing bulge between my legs. My thighs clenched around his body and he drew closer so I felt it press against my entrance. My underwear was in the way and so were his trousers.
“Say it, girl,” King Xander hissed against my lips before trailing them down my neck. I noticed him dodge the wound festering from Liam’s rejection. Before that painful memory could surface, I shut it down.
This was my present, was it not? None of that. I looked the king dead in the eyes. His silver eyes gleamed wickedly.
If I was going to be claimed, I’d do it on my terms.
“Claim me…but I’ll—I’ll be on top.”
Xander looked absolutely puzzled for a moment before bursting into a short laugh. “Never have I met such an entitled little wolf. First you murder my brother, now you demand exactly how I f**k you?!”
He stepped back from the wall and I leaned forward immediately to avoid falling from his arms. His face lay between my breasts and I could almost hear mirabella’s voice mocking how huge they were. Xander did not seem to mind, taking a deep sniff and engulfing a n****e with his mouth again.
“Ahh..” I moaned.
The sound seemed to excite the king more as he immediately spun, laying me on the bed and kissing every curve of my body with more fervour than even Liam had done.
He spared no surface, touching me until I had completely lost myself in waves of ecstasy. Before long, I was saying this stranger’s name over and over, begging him to take me. Anything to cure the fire between my legs.
He took his sweet time, throwing mocking comments my way, making me wait.
And at the end, he spun us around, lying on his back and making me sit astride him. In one move, he ripped my underwear off my waist and completely stripped me of my robe. Every part of my body was exposed and I could feel the sting of Liam’s and the rest of the pack’s words crawl over me.
Even if this was not a man I had envisioned I’d share a bed with, part of me wondered if he thought I was a pig like everyone seemed to.
Instead of jabbing at the extra weight of my thighs or the curve of my belly, King Xander let out a low growl.
“Not a bad catch. You’d do nicely for me, breeder.”
He took out his hardened d**k, rubbing it against my thighs and sighing.
“Come on top, girl. Not what you wanted?”
And so I did. For the rest of the night, I was Xander’s. He took me many times, over and over till I could scream in pleasure no more. I hated myself with everything in me. I was not supposed to feel this way for a man who had accused me of murder and imprisoned me in his kingdom with such a humiliating status.
But he was good with his hands, mouth and everything else. I could not complain. I could not protest.
By morning though, waking up sore and exhausted, I noticed something peculiar. King Xander was gone and there was a collar around my neck.
A maid was standing by the door and she appraised me with disgust.
“Miss, please get dressed. The High Luna has summoned you to her Hall of Blossoms.”
High Luna?
So Xander’s mother. That couldn’t be good. Immediately, chills crept over my entire body. Could this be about Damien…
What was I to do now? Xander had used the breeder status to pardon me but this…Damien’s mother would not think twice before killing me.
“Miss, please be quick.”
I didn’t have the chance to pull myself together with better clothes. I stepped out of the room in the same sheer robe from yesterday’s escapade, following in the maid’s footsteps and hoping with everything in me that I would awaken from this horrible dream.
