Alpha Keanu’s PovI left the room after my discussion with Jade. I have never thought about having kids because I didn’t want one. I might have responded a little too harshly but that’s because she caught me off guard with such talk. This was the first time we were having such a discussion and I must say my reaction wasn’t the best but at that moment all I felt was anger and responded harshly to shut her up which I’m regretting at the moment. I stood outside the door, my eyes going to the last room on this wing, a room I’ve made sure to avoid all these years, successfully pushing everything about it at the back of my mind. Anger soared through me as I stared at it right now.I don’t know how long I stood there glaring at the door until I heard Noir call my name.“Alpha, you sent for me,” He said, walking the last stairs that led to my wing.I had called him as I stepped out of the room. “Yes,” I simply answered and turned towards my office. He followed and when we entered I grabbed a
I opened my eyes to find out I was at the infirmary. “Not again” I groaned and sat up, recalling the previous event that landed me in this situation.“Shit, I’m okay and safe” I sighed in relief patting my body for any injury. The rogues looked like they were there to kill and it was unfortunate that I was outside at that time with Eliana. “Eliana? Oh my god” I panicked,I quickly stood up from the bed and my vision went hazy for a bit before going back to normal. The door to the room I was in opened and Keanu stepped in. “Sit down, you have a concussion,” He said, coming to my side.I recalled our conversation earlier today and how rudely he reacted so I ignored him and sidestepped him, heading to the door to check on Eliana.“If you’re worried about Eliana, she is fine,” He said and I stopped and turned to face him. Fearfully I asked, “What about her baby?” My hand unconsciously goes to my stomach.Keanu’s face contorted following my actions and I panicked before he quickly said “
I sat down beside him, waiting for him to say something. He was quiet for a while and I began to think he had changed his mind and wasn’t going to talk anymore. I was about to talk when he finally spoke.“I never believed or thought that I was worthy enough to be loved until the goddess brought us together. I have never for once thought about being a father. I’m not going to be a father. I can’t. How can I be when I grew up with one who was better off dead? I can’t give what I don’t have. I didn't grow up with one so I can’t be one either. I’m still learning how to love you Jade and honestly, I’m surprised I’m doing it but I know for sure I can’t when we have a child. I’m going to let that child down and I would hate to be a disappointment to my child”Out of many reasons he could have given me. I wasn’t expecting this. My face softened.“Don’t say that. It’s not true. You’ll be a great father Keanu, and I know that”I saw him swallow before he shook his head “Baby I would do anythin
My body bounced as it connected with the bed and I lifted my upper body with my elbows planted in the bed to look at him. One second he’s out of reach and the next his mouth is on mine, hot and hard.Gods, yes. This is exactly what I need. I leaned in for more as his hands dug through my hair, cradling the back of my head and angling me for a deeper kiss. He kisses me until I feel thoroughly devoured and explored, and then he sucks my tongue into his mouth so I can do the same.His hips rock into mine, and I gasp at the delicious friction. He breaks the kiss, sliding his mouth across my jaw, my neck and everywhere, his tongue licking at every bite he caused.. I wanted him to devour me whole. My skin felt heated. The heat caused me to burn.He trailed lower until he kissed my mark. The action caused pleasure to explode. My thighs tightened as my stomach knotted, an orgasm forming as he kissed my mark.He trailed lower, tugging at the towel that was wrapped around me. My nipples were ha
Alpha Keanu’s POVI stretched my muscles and quietly rolled out of bed in order not to wake her but my small shuffling did. Her big doe eyes opened and she blinked a few times, rubbing her eyes with fisted palms before she looked at me.“Hey, my love” A huge smile automatically hit my face. Waking up to this every day was something I’ll never get tired of. Seeing her raw beauty every morning filled my heart just as much as sleeping with her in my arms every night did. It’s so comforting and peaceful that most times I had to force myself out of bed and away from her to get shit done.She yawned while stretching her body then her eyes focused on me “Hi babe. It’s still kinda early, where are you going?”I grinned. That’s new, she barely uses any endearments for me and this made my heart flutter. “I have a meeting with some Alphas”“Oh, is everything okay?”“Yeah, it’s just a few people that I can trust and need to ally with,” I answered while heading to the bathroom. While inside the b
She was a very beautiful woman with a dimpled smile that I knew could brighten people’s day. She was looking at Keanu’s father with love in the picture and he was smiling wildly. Looking at this picture it was hard to believe this was the man that made Keanu’s life a living hell. He looked nothing like Keanu had told me. I looked up at Keanu who had been silently staring at the picture and saw the pain in his eyes.“He never allowed me to see a picture of her, I’ve never seen my own mother” His voice was so low, I strained to hear him. I went into his arms and hugged him and he instantly wrapped his hands around me tightly.I gently patted his back “It’s okay baby. You finally got to see her”He clutched the picture tight in his palm, I heard the sound of it crumpling a bit. He wasn’t letting me go and I gladly held him. “If it’s too much, we can go and continue next time when you’re ready” I spoke gently to him.He slowly let me go and shook his head. “I’m good”He was acting brav
“What the fuck are you talking about?” I asked, my voice coming out harsh and loud.I heard loud gasps around me and the sounds of chairs screeching against the floor as everyone stood up. “Sheila, what are you talking about? Her food is poisoned or you think it might be poisoned?” Eliana asked in a much calmer tone.In the moment of panic, I hadn’t realized that Sheila was trembling in fear. I calmed myself down, dropping the utensils in my hand on the floor, and then I took Sheila’s hand. “Calm down,” I said to her, guiding her to breathe in and out with one of my hands. She followed the movement of my hand, taking in steady breaths and Eliana asked her again.“Why do you think her food is poisoned?” Sheila’s eyes were darting back and forth in the room, looking at everyone staring at her. I took her hands and went out of the dining hall with Eliana. “Talk to me Sheila,” I said, urging her to speak.She started “I was doing my morning duties, cleaning the hallway, then I noticed
Keanu asked some guards to go and fetch Sheila and Imelda and when they were brought, Imelda was roughly pushed to the floor in front of us and quickly, she scrambled to her knees. Again, what is Imelda doing with such a poisonous plant? What did she intend to do with it? She didn’t make eye contact with any of us and only stared at her fingers that were shaking.Everyone around me seemed to be speechless, watching her shake in fear on the floor. I was yet to understand what was going on so I silently watched.“Is this the same poison you saw?” Keanu asked Sheila and she shook her head “No, my lord”“You? What are you doing with this?” Eliana asked Imelda.“Please forgive me my lord” She apologized instead of answering the question.“Why do you have this?” Keanu asked again.But she said nothing, only vibrating on the floor. “Please, I can’t… it’s not… please my lord” she was starting to cry.“You can’t what?” Keanu was trying not to lose his temper, I could tell as he continued flex
