His kiss made Alyssa moan a little, which awoke them from their trance and all at once they recalled the things they should refrain from doing. Alpha Larole's words rang in her head and his warning. She became nervous, Ace seemed to be into her and she could just grasp her chance but she didn't know if it was just the heat of the moment.Ace let go of Alyssa. Although he knew her scent was the best stimulant for him, he was aware of his responsibility. He was the Alpha. He regained his composure and forcefully tore his eyes away from her body.At some point, he felt embarrassed that he couldn't control himself around her, especially because he had chosen his mate. He just had never pictured her to be this perfect."Alyssa, are you in there? It's almost dinner time" Ethan called."Yes Ethan, I'd be with you in a minute.""Arghh women. Alright just don't go off like that next time, I was worried." Ethan responded."I'm sorry, just give me a minute I'll be with you."There was a relief A
Ace went silent. He hadn't seen her proposal coming and he suddenly went chill in the bones. She wanted him to reject her? He should've, a long time but he had no idea why he couldn't."Ally, c'mon now. I'm out here waiting for you," Ethan called, annoyance etched in his voice "Can you just get dressed already?"Alyssa realized that her brother was still out there. She ignored him and turned to Ace. " And about your bid, I've accepted. Let's meet again. We can't talk at the mansion. But if you may, can we meet at the villa again? Next week, if it's fine with you.""Next week it is," He said. With that, he left without glancing back to look at Alyssa.Alyssa hastily got dressed trying not to think of what had happened between them. The way his hands roamed her body, all played in her head even though she tried not to think about it. She and her brother headed to the dining room where dinner was to be held and she couldn't help but think of how handsome Ace was. He was well built; his m
When Ace got home, he locked himself up in his bedroom. His girlfriend wasn't around and for the first time, he was happy about it. He had had to bore all her nagging but now, all he craved was serenity and solitude.His wolf had been howling in his mind for hours, after seeing Alyssa's true appearance. He kept connecting the dots. Since it was Lydia's idea to have her blindfolded and since Lydia lied to him about her eyes that meant she knew things he didn't. She just wouldn't give out ridiculous rules if there wasn't a motive. Or probably she was just insecure about Alyssa's traits.Alyssa had agreed to be on his team which was fulfilling enough. That way he'd get the truth from her and get to know why she compared him to his father. He didn't even know how to react when she said he was like a tyrant like his father. For all he knew, his father was a good man who could be dangerous at times."You know you're responsible for everything. If you had been patient enough we would've been
Ace glared hard at his father. “Have you made it your duty to start monitoring me now?”Alpha Larole eyed his son warily, lips pursed. “You know, it's just a yes or no.”Ace got on his feet, his footsteps echoing against the marble floors. “I don't need your interference, father,” he declared, his voice tinged with defiance.The Alpha looked at his son, his steely gaze softening. His son may be an adult but he wasn't wise. “Son, all I desire is a strong grandson, to ensure the legacy of our family continues and you can't have any relationship with the maid! It's prohibited.”“That's your rule, not mine!” He spat and raked his fingers through his hair. “It's all your fault all of this is happening.”Alpha Larole got on his feet and turned to Ace, “I know you're mad at me Ace, but someday you'll understand what I'm doing all of this.”“It's for your own selfish reasons,” he pointed out, his anger refusing to abate. “I would never understand a man who makes decisions for his child withou
ALYSSAAlyssa was exhausted and couldn't keep going so they had to end the game. If she pushed her body to go harder than this, then she wouldn't be able to use it in a week.And bedrest was something she could never get at Alpha Larole's abode. She and Axel had pushed themselves to their limits. It was a relentless battle but she had conquered.They sat on the chairs nearest to them, panting and trying to suck in oxygen. It seemed as though they had been deprived of it for ages. Alyssa closed her eyes and leaned against the chair while her sweat drenched clothing clung to her body like second skin. Axel's eyes were fixed on her, never blinking.Who was this woman? How could her small frame work so well? She looked fragile on the outside but at battle she wasn't shaken.“I'm sorry about your stomach,” Axel almost whispered. “Does it still hurt?”Alyssa nodded, “It's alright. I had fun.”“People who say fighting is fun are psychopaths,” Brooklyn chipped in.“You know you'll be doing ev
“Enough Ethan. I've had a really amazing yet tiring day and I still have a journey ahead. Can you please not talk to me about the Beta?” She said wearily.Ethan sighed. “I just don't get it.”“You don't have to,” Alyssa retorted. “His sister called me pigshit and she thinks I'm being nice because I want to get in bed with her brother. I don't even want her brother!”“I thought you weren't bothered by that,” he said.Alyssa scoffed. “She's mad stupid and let this be the last time you bring up mating with Axel because it's never going to happen.”“Fine then, enjoy your time at the Alpha’s. Working and scrubbing your days away like some cinderella. Except this time you've got no prince coming to save you.”Alyssa paused at the door with her bag, “Screw you Ethan. And I mean it.”***“You came in late today,” Alpha Larole said as he watched Alyssa.She blushed and clutched her bags tightly. “I'm sorry, Alpha.”He nodded, “Did you have fun with your brother?”“Yes I did.”“And so far…Has t
Lydia froze in the spot, her heart pounding loudly in the chest. Has Ace been watching her for long? Had he seen Alyssa's face? Had he seen her hit the maid? Lydia quickly stood in front of Alyssa, trying to block her from Ace's sight.Alyssa's eyes opened. She had been expecting the slap to descend on her but just as she had expected, the Alpha had showed up.“Pick the veil and get out,” Lydia whispered to her.Alyssa did as she was told, grateful to Ace for coming to the rescue. She had felt him coming, her wolf had alerted her. Although she had hoped he would come forward to protect her, she knew it was impossible as Lydia wasn't only his girlfriend but also his mate to be.“What are you doing down?” Ace asked his girlfriend, pretending to be oblivious to the maid running off.“Um, checking the yard. It rained heavily, you know, and the whole place is a mess.” Lydia said, trying to conceal her panic with a bright smile.“Since when did you care about the yard?” Ace asked, arching a
ACELust.He didn't know if that was what to call it but it was beyond his control. Perhaps it was the heat of the moment but whatever it was, he didn't want it to end.He pushed Alyssa in and pinned her to the bed with his body.Ever since their encounter at Axel's villa, he had craved her more than ever. It was a hunger that couldn't be quenched and in his head he had done things to her. He didn't want to fuck her in his head anymore, he wanted to birth his fantasies.Alyssa watched him with bewildered eyes. “What are you doing?” She whispered but he silenced her with his mouth. He crashed his lips against hers, wanting to devour her, his hunger growing insatiable with every second.But Alyssa was adamant. She refused to kiss back, her heart racing with fear and excitement. What If someone came in and saw them? She would be dead.Noticing her reluctance, Ace pinched the peak of her nipple and she gasped out in shock. He forcefully shoved his tongue in her mouth and began kissing her.
