Loving The Alpha King Instead CHAPTER 21: “Can I Have It In My Room Instead?”
I’m not sure what’s worse, was it the embarrassment of being caught red handed and greatly misunderstood of having an intimate contact with the stranger I was battling with earlier by the barista; or is it the fact that somehow, I’m starting to like the sensation of being in this masked stranger’s arms?One thing’s for sure, I’m grateful I didn’t fall back down the stairs, but I have to get out of here or I’ll die from self pity.“Do you want to do this in an inn, darling?” The masked stranger pulled me to his chest even closer, his breath fanning my face as he whispered close. Blood instantly tinted my cheeks from the heated embarrassment and before I knew it, I found myself pushing his rock hard chest away from me. I pat my clothes disgustingly as though he has tainted it dirty while I try to avoid his gaze as much as I can.With my head up high, I pull the painting even closer to me. “I’d appreciate it if you keep your jokes to yourself, and um—” I clear my throat as I subtly glan
Loving The Alpha King Instead CHAPTER 22: A Whore In Red
Humour has been known to diffuse anger. The simple act of laughing at annoyance can greatly diminish it. These facts raced through my head as I stood dumbfounded at what Raine just said.“Maryna?” she tilts her head innocently as though confused as to why I’m quite speechless. The Omegas — from my peripheral view, lightly slapped their foreheads at the lady. I was angry, that’s for sure. But come to think of it, I’ve been angry at her for far too long. I thought she was intentionally doing it, but seeing it now; it’s almost funny how she’s trying this hard to piss me off, or she’s actually just stupid.“Hah!” I heaved a small chuckle, shaking my forehead on top of my palm. “you’re really funny.” I tell her, genuinely astonished at her behavior.“What-what, why? Is it because I’ve gotten on your nerves again?” she sniffled, wiping it with the long sleeve of her dress. Gross. That’s definitely not cute.I turn to the Omegas who’re still in the wooden stools, balancing the painting where
Loving The Alpha King Instead CHAPTER 23: He‘s Been Running Through My Mind
I packed everything I need on the same brown satchel I’d usually bring before covering myself with the sheets as the Omega checked up on me at bedtime to turn the lights off.When the doors to my room closed, I immediately got up to go.“Oh, right!” I jog back with stealth to my nightstand drawer, taking the letter from the painting last night. I’d have to see if this was what the masked guy wanted from the painting.Putting it inside of my satchel, I wait for the steps outside to diminish.When silence reigned over the halls and the pack warriors who guard the pack house were off to patrol, I set forth out the doors and towards the field.I didn’t shift for now as a bigger figure would have attracted more attention. On foot, I run towards the borders while the cold, after rain breeze was hitting my face. the feeling of freedom as I exit this pack is eminent, how much more would it be if I somehow escape here for the rest of my life?The moment I step out of the silver glimmer of the
Loving The Alpha King Instead CHAPTER 24: Dresses and Blood
THE moon lit the entire space where trees are absent and I was nailed on the ground, eyes fixated on his midnight ones that always seems to be penetrating through my own and into my deepest, darkest secrets.He stood there all naked with a cheeky grin on his face. I wasn’t just about to focus down there because as much as I am comfortable with nudity, this was far different than what I have grown accustomed to seeing. I’ll just leave it to my peripheral vision to get the look of what it is down his chest.I suck in a breath, trying to push the embarrassment aside and let the anger reign over me. I can’t shatter just because of what I had said earlier. I have to be angry, be agitated, attack him and shout at him for tricking me back there.“You—what are your intentions upon listening to the Queen’s confidential letter?” I grit my teeth at him, trying to stand intimidating. He stepped a little closer and try as I might, I wasn’t able to contain my awkwardness and took a step back, a l
Loving The Alpha King Instead CHAPTER 25: Of course, I’m Coming Back
I’M screwed.I’m totally screwed. “Elliot?” I called. He looked restless, sweat was running down in every possible place it could be on his face. “What . . . what are you doing here?” I ask out of complete confusion, he raised his brows at me before his eyes lowered down my torso and to where I was sitting.His eyes landed down on Lucius and as if timing wouldn’t want to miss out on the fun, Lucius turned to him, a smirk forming on his face.“Well, what do we have here?” he asked, voice low and teasing. A shriek came out of my mouth when he suddenly pulled me closer to where his manhood would be. “What are you doing, Maryna?” Elliot asked, ignoring Lucius who clenched his jaw in annoyance. Elliot’s eyes slowly moved down my hands with a suspicious look on his face.I followed his gaze and as if I was woken up from a sexual daze, I instantly pulled my hands away from Lucius’ chest as I was in the middle of unbuttoning his polo.I jumped off his lap, fixing the dress. “Oh, it’s not wh
Loving The Alpha King Instead CHAPTER 26: The Beheaded Werewolf
I’m glad I gave up on trying to please Calvin, on pleasing anyone for that matter.“Take her to the torture room.” Calvin announced as she cradled Raine in his hands. Raine was shaking, trembling and muttering something under her breath. I’m glad I was the one who made her that way, her lips bursted bleeding. Eyes hazy, even she can’t look at his mate properly. she’s shaking because she knows . . . fully aware even that had Calvin didn’t come, she would have been sliced in half.In the most brutal way I could have done.She’s lucky though, as if the Goddess is doing her best preserving her like a living doll, so fragile and so easy to protect. I smirked as I was pinned down on my knees by pack warriors I trained to perfection myself. Just how fast the night changes.“You—aren’t you getting tired of every single wrongdoing you’ve done to my mate?!” Calvin yelled and my lips curved in a smirk higher until it dropped.To nothing but void eyes staring into him. I never thought I’d even l
Loving The Alpha King Instead CHAPTER 27: Poisonous Berries
“Y-you . . . did you actually rip that wolf in half with those bare hands?” I asked, pointing at the head in his hand with its eyes still wide open as though it’s staring at me with hostility.Lucius glanced down at the body parts he was holding and dropped it down the ground. “Oh, was I too brutal? I’m sorry you had to witness that.” He chuckled, wiping his hand on the dead wolf’s fur.“Dang, my clothes are stained.” he clicked his tongue before looking up at me. Me who’s standing here pale frozen from what I witnessed. I killed people before, but I just snapped its head and its bones.I never tore them in half . . .“Speaking of clothes, why are you not wearing the dress? I would have loved to see you in it once again.” he smirked. I remember the Omega sneaking up into my room carrying the stained dress.“I-I had it cleaned, it was stained.” I mumble under my breath, avoiding his eyes. Yeah, it was cleaned and it’s not mine anymore.A second after I said that, sounds of howls filled
Loving The Alpha King Instead CHAPTER 28: Goodbyes and Beaten Up Escapees
“YOU should eat. I’m going to walk around for any routes to escape.” I mumble. He doesn’t seem very pleased, but I went away anyway.The place was filled with nothing but trees and the cliff we fell onto was really high up. We only survived because of the pond.It was all a circle covered in rocks and minimal trees, there was totally nothing to see here anymore. I sigh. Maybe if I look around with Lucius, he might be able to find something.I head back to the cave. Lucius was breathing heavily, his eyes dilated as he leaned onto a rock behind him. He was bathed in sweat and he looked extremely pale. On his other hand was the pink fruit I found on the bushes with his bite mark on it.Oh, no . . .I was wrong.I was incredibly wrong.“Don’t touch the fruit, it’s poisonous.” he mumbled as he was losing his breath. His chest was heaving up and down and I look around, panicking.My satchel was definitely around here. I open it aggressively, searching for anything that might help. Lucius loo
