Reborn; Contract Marriage With The Dark Alpha King

The back seat

Gianna POV

I waited anxiously outside Axel's office. He was with Dr. Gatlin; I tried listening to their conversation, but their voices were too low for me to hear anything through the door.

His office isn't soundproof, so why can't I hear them?! I thought angrily as I leaned my ears closer to the door; they were discussing about me.

“Gianna.” Axel called from inside.

His sudden voice startled me; I almost lost my footing as I hit my head against the door.

“You can come in,” Axel said.

I nervously stepped into Axel's office, and Dr. Gatlin sat down on a seat close to Axel, who was leaning on his desk with his arm crossed over his chest. Axel was putting on a blue button-up long sleeve that was tucked into his black suit pants; his suit jacket was left over the head of his seat. Every piece of clothing I have seen him wear looks good on him.

“For now, Dr. Gatlin and I have agreed that he is only going to be studying your blood.”

I sucked in a deep breath as I took notes of Axel's words of ‘for now,’ which means that there are other sorts of experiments Dr. Gatlin would like to try on me. This shouldn't surprise or shake me; I hated needles, along with the idea of a cold, shaped metal piercing through my skin. I'm not Alpha Nathan's wife anymore; he wasn't here to protect me from Dr. Gatlin, and I doubt Axel will care about how I felt about this. Going through this was part of our deal; I can't say no to him.

Unable to speak, I nodded my head at Axel; if I tried saying yes, my unwillingness to go through with this might show.

“I will be collecting your blood later this evening.” Dr. Gatlin said. Crazy excitement shines through his eyes as he thought of his experiment.

“Thank you for accepting this difficult task, Dr. Gatlin.” Axel said.

“No, the pleasure is mine, Alpha; you have given me the rare opportunity of studying the Benton bloodline.” Dr. Gatlin turned to me, “Did you know that before, in the past, it was said that your people were able to use a unique healing ability immediately after birth? It was so strong that the first ones to possess this strange ability were close to being called immortal because no weapon or disease could harm them. I heard that they could manipulate their life span and choose to live for as long as they wanted until they were ready to die.”

I snorted at Dr. Gatlin. All he said were nothing more than history; no one knew if any of it was true. No matter how much I thought about it, I didn't know why anyone would want to live forever in this miserable world that was full of fake love, rejection, and betrayal.

“All that was in the past; we no longer possess the ability to heal.” To be honest, I doubt we ever did, but my parents were the type who strongly believe in ancient history. As for me, I don't give a damn.

“That same ancient blood still flows in your veins, Luna. It's too soon to jump to conclusions.” Dr. Gatlin smiled.

His smile looks creepy, I thought. I hated the expectation that was filled in his voice; Dr. Gatlin was going to be disappointed.

“I will be taking my leave, Alpha, Luna.” Dr. Gatlin gave a little bow.

“Yes? I didn't call for you.” Axel said in a cold tone. He gave me a swift glance and went back to typing on his keyboard.

He doesn't look like he's in a good mood, I thought. I needed him to be in a good mood so that he could grant me my request. I went over to Axel's desk; he refused to look at me and ignored me as though I wasn't there.

Narrowing my eyes at him, I turned his seat to the side and made him face me by force.

“What do you wan_?” Axel's voice falters as he watches me unbutton my shirt until my lace bra is showing. He remains quiet as I raise my black pencil skirt up and climb on his lap; one of his hands quickly held my waist, while the other went to my butt and pushed me up against him.

I kissed him and let my hand unbutton the upper part of his shirt, moaning into his mouth. I gently pulled away when I was sure that Axel was in a good mood. “Let me go see my parents.”

Axel smiled softly and kissed me again; he carried me from his lap and placed me on his desk, his hand held me in place as his kiss went from my lips to my breasts, and he whispered against my skin.

“What?” I questioned, out of breath because of what he was doing to me.

“I said no.” Axel smirked at me; he caged me with his hands at my side, no longer touching me. His eyes roamed my body as he said, “So beautiful.”

There was high s****l tension between us, yet Axel buttoned my shirt. He placed one hand on my naked lap and said, “This is an office love, and I don't mix business with pleasure; you being my wife doesn't change that.”

I blush as Axel drags my skirt that was hiked up down and gently holds my waist and brings me down from his desk.

“Leave.” He ordered in a serious tone.

I left Axel's office feeling confused as I asked myself, ‘What just happened?’ My plan was to make him careless so that he would agree to my demands to go back home for a while. But instead of being the one in control and setting his desires on fire, somehow we traded places; now I was the one left with needs.

I groan as I sit down on the chair in my office; my cheek is still red from embarrassment. Still, what happened didn't change the fact that I needed to see my parents; I can't continue to spend all my time in the pack and let Quin steal everything from me.

We made a deal, I thought; my revenge is part of the deal. Alpha Axel has to give me what I want.

—--------------------------------------------------

I sighed in relief as I stretched out my arms; working hours were finally over. “Are you ready to leave?” I asked Riley; I convinced her to hang out with me at the pack house.

“Yes.” She gathered her things.

Something felt off with Riley; although she agreed to come with me to the pack house, it felt like she was forcing herself to come along.

The last time Riley came to the pack house, she loved everything there, so perhaps what was bothering her doesn't have to do with the pack house? I thought as I brought out my car keys from my purse.

From behind me, Axel snatched my keys from my hand. “Carl will bring your friend to the pack house in a separate car; as for us, we are leaving together.”

Riley tensed up at the mention of Carl's name.

“You are leaving now?” I asked in surprise, I have seen Axel's schedule, and he's not supposed to leave by this time.

“Yes. Now get inside the car,” Axel said in a voice I haven't heard before. “Don't worry about your friend; Carl will take care of her.”

Riley smiled at me and mouthed that she was going to be fine; still, she didn't look okay with Carl, who stood rigid behind her.

Axel stopped the car a short distance away from the company.

“Did you forget something about the office?” I asked because there was nothing wrong with the car.

Axel bent over, removed my seat belt, and kissed me unexpectedly. “Get over to the back seat,” he ordered in a hoarse voice.

My eyes widen in surprise as I feel his arousal and the lust that clouded his eyes. I obeyed him, took off my shoes, and climbed over to the back seat. Axel opened the door within seconds, his hand unbuckling his belt as he kissed me. I was still surprised as I kissed him and thought that he was crazy, but I felt crazier for wanting this as much as he did.

‘Never tempt Alpha Axel in his office again.’ I told myself, ‘Lesson learnt.’

“Why are you trying to squeeze the life out of your spoon?” Dayton laughs at his lame joke.

I felt so angry, and the reason I'm like this was because I saw them. I saw Alpha Axel as he went to the back seat of his car because of Gianna. Thinking about what he was currently doing with her ripped my heart apart and filled me with endless rage. If I hadn't seen Alpha Axel myself, I wouldn't have believed it if someone told me. That slut was changing him; the alpha Axel I know won't be so indecent on the road; he doesn't even allow me or any other girl to flirt with him in the office. Axel was a strict man, but that damn slut was changing my man.

“You are beginning to hurt my feelings.” Dayton said, “I brought you out to this restaurant because you said that you wanted to eat here, but now you aren't eating, and you aren't paying any attention to me on our first date.” He reached out to grab my hand, but I pulled away from him.

I had forgotten that I'm on a date with him; why did I agree to go on a date with him again? I thought, as I looked at Dayton. Oh yeah, he's cute, and his dark brown eyes remind me of alpha Axel.

“Do you want me to be your girlfriend?” I asked him as I thought of the party the company was holding soon, a plan forming in my mind.

“Yes,” Dayton said in a desperate tone.

“Then, there is something you must do for me.”

I'm going to make Alpha Axel stop loving that awful slut.
