Chapter 1
BALQISâS POV
âWhat are you doing?â Julius, my mate, snapped as I removed his d**k from my mouth.
I couldnât gulp. My saliva had turned thick and salty from the blow jobs I gave him for the past two hours, trying to please him. âSâŠSorry. I was just tired,â I mumbled.
âYou cut off my pleasure, is sorry gonna fix that?â He glared at me, obviously very furious.
I sighed with exhaustion. I had to persuade him now too. âBaby, Iâve been doing that for two hours now, and you came twice in my mouth so IâŠâ
âI came twice in your mouth, and youâre tired already?â He sneered. âIf I marry you, is this the attitude youâll keep up?â
âJulius, IâŠâ
âI donât want to hear it!â He cut me off harshly and got off the bed hastily. âThanks to you, I lost my appetite for s*x!â
I also got out of bed, standing fully naked before him. âJulius, I donât mean it that way. Iâm not just used to anal andâŠâ
He scoffed. âNot used to anal? Satisfying your man is so hard for you, right?â
I watched as he adjusted his hair before putting on his pants, even though his d**k was still bulging out of them. Then he put on a shirt and prepared to leave.
I grabbed his hand, pulling him back, âDonât be vexed, honey. Where are you going?â
âDonât ask me!â He quipped back.
My chest tightened in panic. The first thing I feared was Juliusâ anger. Once he got angry at me, he became unreachable, and I had to apologize in the end. âDonât leave, please. Iâll do whatâŠ.â
He turned around and interrupted, âToo bad, baby. Iâm no longer interested,â then he snapped his hand from mine.
No! I canât lose him like this. Heâs my ray of sunshine and the reason I still hold on to my dilapidated life. He shut the door in my face just as I ran after him, and I fell back on my butt, still naked.
What do I do to satisfy this man whom I love so much? Being the illegitimate daughter born out of wedlock, I had led a bitter and sad life before meeting him.
No mother to have my back because she died of cancer, no father to pacify me, and my stepmother was too busy arranging her daughterâs marriage to the Alphaâs son to care about me.
Julius came into my life at the darkest point when everyone branded me a prostitute instead of the dancer that I was. The mate bond helped us, and he didnât reject me, and because of him, the ugly names disappeared into thin air.
We connected well and easily. He took my virginity, and s*x became a regular part of our lives, which I thought was normal until I discovered his insane craving for blow jobs and anal s*x.
For days later, I didnât hear anything from Julius. I called, searched, and even visited his house several times, but his doors were locked.
After two weeks of silence, I decided to visit Gamma Adonaiâs place. He was the only best friend I knew he had.
As I got out of the cab, I was happy to see Adonaiâs car in the park, which meant he was around.
I walked briskly toward the castle, and when I entered, I was surprised to find the living room, which was always flooded with maids anytime Julius and I came visiting, was deserted. Had Adonai given them a day off ? Whatever it was, something felt off.
I found it odd, but I went upstairs anyway. When I reached his door, I lifted my arms to knock but halted.
Sounds of pleasure reached my ears, and I quickly backed off. Perhaps I came at the wrong time.
I had made up my mind to leave when a familiar voice jeered, âThat log of wood I call a mate canât ride me like this. Just two hours of blow job and she was bored! But you ride me like a rollercoasterâŠI canât get enough of it, babyâ
Laughter followed, and my heart slammed against my ribs. Thatâs Juliusâ voice!
How can he be at- No!
If Julius was to be here, he should be in the guest room where weâd both crashed after parties or visits. Iâd never see anyone near Adonaiâs room before. Did heâŠ
I didnât think before turning around and opening the door. Before me was a live pornography scene where Juliusâs hand was around a womanâs hips, his c**k buried deep inside her.
Her head turned towards the door, and my eyes widened as I was face-to-face with Nirvana! âmy stepsister!
My heart stopped beating for a moment. Of all people, Nirvana? They had never even spoken at functions, and she would even show her disgust anytime Julius came visiting. Had they been sneaking around behind me all these time?
âWhat are you doing here? Who asked you to come here?â Julius reprimanded before I could form any words.
I was shocked. The mate bond between us shimmered brilliantly, and a tear ran down my cheek at the realization that I still belong to him, no matter the situation.
âBally, are you dumb?â My sister growled, still not standing up from him.
I was numb, but her sharp voice jerked me awake. I didnât bother to spare her a glance; I just looked at Julius, âIs this what you left me to do?â
âSo what? You canât f**k him like I do,â Nirvana replied, but I still ignored her.
Stamping my feet on the floor, I screamed, âSay something, Julius!!â
âHey! Shut up! Where did you think you were?â he answered in an irritating tone.
The tears on my cheeks didnât stop. If it has to come to this, then I wonât torture myself any further.
I raised my left hand, placed the right one on my chest, and began, âBy the goddess, I, Balqis Malkova, I reject you, Beta Julius Grande as my mate!â
To my surprise, Julius smirked. âThank you for rejecting me before I do. I accept your rejection wholeheartedly.â
Then he howled excitedly as the mate bond snapped off. I saw a glint of regret flash across his face, but he masked it by sliding Nirvana up and down his d**k, and she moaned in ecstasy.
I turned around and cried hot tears of agony.
So this is where I end it all with him?
Tears continued to run down my cheeks, and my heart burned painfully as I opened the door to leave.
Immediately, I got out of the door, and the moaning intensified.
I walked away dejectedly, wiping my tears away.
âYes. This might be for the best,â my wolf assured me. I agreed. Julius wonât change even if I apologize.
As I descended to the living room, the door burst open, and I stopped momentarily.
Gamma Adonai, the owner of the castle, Juliusâs best friend, came in, staggering drunk as he always did. He stopped to stare at me for a while. I found myself ogling his well toned frame that Iâd always avoided noticing out of loyalty for Julius. I wondered how he was able to still keep fit and handsome like this despite his drunkenness everyday.
I heaved a long sigh. What a bad day to meet a drunkard. âHello,â I managed to say as I passed by him.
âB..Bally, is that you?â
I turned around, âNeed help, Gamma?â
His shirt hung half buttoned, and he ran his hand through his long hair as he hiccuped before continuing, âHave you seen what that bastard is doing in my room? I caught them just now butâŠâ he gulped.
I rolled my eyes, âYou still left them to it after catching them, right?â
He staggered again, almost falling, but held on to a chair, âHeâŠâ gulped. ââŠhe didnât deserve a good b***h like you!â
Damn!! What luck is worse than having a conversation with a drunkard?
Standing here and talking to him was only adding to my anger. I closed the distance between us and held his hands to help him stand properly. âGamma, youâre drunk. Let me help you to a room.â
He brushed my hand away, still standing drunkenly, âDonât touch me,â he slurred. âI get horny when your hand touches my skin.â
âStop it, Gamma Donny!â I quipped and gripped his hand again, trying to force him into a room.
He grudgingly allowed me, and after struggling for a while, I managed to get him to a room downstairs since Julius and Nirvana were in his room upstairs.
Adonai sat on the bed. He looked up at me as he grinned lazily. âI told you not to touch me.â
âHow will I help you if I donât touch you?â I snapped back, adjusting my dress. âGet some rest, Iâm leaving.â
I turned to the door, but he pulled my hand back, causing me to fall on his lap, his manly scent finding its way to my brain.
I hesitated, trying to stand up, âGamma Donny, you need to rest now. I mean it.â
He pinned me down, pressing my arm against his warm abs, and sending unwanted shivers down my spine.
âI told you not to touch me.â
âYes. But I had to touch you, to get you to-â
He fell onto the bed, and since I was sitting on his lap, I fell on his chest too.
Goosebumps covered my skin, and he whispered in the most intoxicating Iâd ever heard from him, âNow Iâm horny. What do we do about it?â
âYouâre crazy,â I screeched.
