Alpha's breeder's revenge

His

Ophelie's POV

The whispers all around had woken me up, ones that I wasn't deaf to, and when I was up, the event from last night racing in, my hands ran through my hair because I had given it all.

Well, not me, but Adele has given her body to him.

If it had been me, maybe the thought would have sent me to an early grave, but this was different, and I had a role to play in it.

I wasn't going to lie, but I enjoyed it. Loic, as he had said I should call him, had the stamina of a beast. He could go on and on and on without being tired, and I could very well see now why Astrid has been trying to get me away from her man.

If I were in her shoes, I would have done the same because that man could f**k so well that you wouldn't be able to think of anything else.

My eyes flickered across the room I was in, one that I fully well knew belonged to Loic, as it was different from mine and it seemed more masculine.

The evidence of what had been my blood still tainted the bed, and I wondered what it was that had made Loic leave it there.

He could have given orders to have the sheets changed, and I wouldn't have been able to tell a thing, or maybe he didn't want me disturbed even if it was for a bit, but that wasn't possible, right? He didn't have a heart, so it was impossible.

" Someone definitely had a good night." Clio said and I couldn't say anything else. I enjoyed the s*x and was longingly expecting another, which would have me bent all over again like a pretzel.

" That's hot."

" I know. I know. I know why Astrid clings to him now. I know why." I couldn't help but admit it, and it was there. I couldn't blur the reason, as I had felt it as well. It was as plain as day.

I were unable to think of anything else to put on, so I made my way to Loic wardrobe, settling for one of his tops, which I decided to put on, and maybe when I was done, I would have a maid bring it back.

" Good morning my lady." The guard greeted me, his eyes curved into a bow when I stepped out, which was new; there was usually no endearment to how I was being addressed.

" The Alpha would love to have breakfast with you, and whenever you are up, he will be waiting for you."

My heart panted before I gave a silent nod to his words as I fell into line to my room.

The maids stood chatting and whispering as I did. I would have instructed them to know what it was that they were saying, but I couldn't do so right about now, as all I wanted to do was stay in water so hot that it would make me better since I was still so sore.

" The bath is ready, my lady." The maid, the same one from yesterday, pointed me to my bathroom, which had the water I had wished for waiting.

Could it be that everyone could tell what had gone down yesterday? Was my gait so bad? Or what exactly was giving it away? It didn't just dawn on me that way.

"Thank you. Can you have this top sent back to the Alpha's closet, please? Thank you."

She took a step back after picking it up as I soaked in. Yesterday might or might not be one of the many nights to come, and even when it seemed pretty difficult that Loic wouldn't want me anymore since he had Astrid, a tingly part of me wished for something more, but I knew not to pass my boundaries as I didn't know what Astrid might do to me if this persisted.

I ought to get this off my chest and make sure that all I had planned would work just the way that I had hoped and wished for, but before that, I had to get into planning.

The tap at the door told me I had spent enough time. Dipping my foot into the flip-flop after wrapping myself in a white towel. I made my way to the room where the maid waited for me.

"He hasn't chosen any outfit for me today?"

" None, my lady. He instructed us to let you know your choices are what we are to go with from now on."

That was coming on rather too fast, and I hadn't expected that it would be that quick. Was he that satisfied, or was I that good? I basically did nothing as he had done most of the work, and I was getting all of this.

I settled for a pale blue gown, one that has the same color as the lingerie of last night, before letting them adorn me with the ornate accessories that she had chosen for me.

" Well. I think I'm done." I made my way across the room, heading toward the door, when I heard the maids whisper even louder than before. Not being able to resist the urge anymore, I asked the maid:

" What is going on? The gossip and the whispers?"

" Everyone got to know you slept over in the Alpha's room, and as such, there are talks about how you have the Alpha's favor."

" It's just sleeping over, and it isn't a biggie in the first place."

" It is my lady." The maid almost screamed as she relayed. "Astrid has never slept over in the Alpha's room since they have been together."

My steps halted at her words, and I knew it was going to be worse if it wasn't already. Astrid might be thinking of how to have my head right about now, and when the door to the dining room opened up, my heart sank because something had to be wrong.

What were my stepmother and stepsisters doing here?
