Chapter 2 HE RECOGNIZED ME?

Beatrice’s POV

It was almost midnight and I was left alone in the kitchen. Since I had to take on most of the work, I was always the last one to leave work.

My heart cringed when the antique wall clock in the hallway struck.

I knew Cora was right. If I wanted to suffer less, I'd better volunteer to go to collect my punishment. Frustrations and pain couldn't help filling my heart. I knew I had no friends or family to rely on here, but why was I always the one being set up and suffering?

"Go find him. Tell him the truth." My wolf Ava suddenly spoke in my head.

"Are you feeling better now?"I was worried as Ava was weak enough due to the torture for the past few months. I let her rest whenever I could.

"Go find our mate, Beatrice. I don't know how much longer I can hold out. He needs to know about us, or I'll die soon."

I was startled by her words. In all my visions, I never thought of losing my wolf. Ava was the only solace in my miserable life.

"No, please don't. I promise I'll try. I'll try my best to save you."

With that thought, I blended into the darkness and rushed toward the second floor of the mansion. The atmosphere is eerily quiet. I can hear the pounding of my heart as I get closer and closer to the room of Alpha Lucas.

What should I say to him? What if he's occupied with someone else? What if he didn't even give me a chance to talk?

My hands start to sweat, so I wipe them on my pants. I take a step closer to the door. Closing my eyes, I whisper to myself, "Stay calm, Bea. You can do this. You have to do this."

I press my lips together as I reach for the doorknob, hoping it's not locked. I feel a small sense of relief when it turns easily. I slowly push the door open and the dimly lit room comes into view. And there, on the right side, is the Alpha's bed.

I walk inside quietly and close the door behind me. I keep my distance, but my heart races faster and faster. I can feel my wolf's desire as we both admire the man in front of us.

My mate.

As the Alpha, he has everything. He's known as a ruthless and undefeated leader. But he'll never know I'm here because he can't smell me.

I inched closer to him, and a tear escaped my left eye when I saw his peaceful face, unaware of the fear he instilled in everyone as the Alpha.

The closer I got, the stronger my desire became. I longed to touch him, to kiss him. But fear held me back.

"This is your last chance, Beatrice," Ava's growl echoed in my mind.

Yes, my final opportunity.

I need to tell him all the truth or my wolf would die first when the guards took me to the dungeon.

"Stop right there."

My eyes widened at the sound of his voice. My body trembled, consumed by fear.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, um... I... I—" Shoot! Why do I have to stutter at this point?

"I really don't like repeating myself. I'm asking you, what the hell are you doing in my room?"

"A-Alpha..." I took a step back, trying to keep my distance from him.

I can't stand his scent. The closer I get, the stronger my desire becomes.

"Did my men send you to please me?" he asked, moving closer to me.

"N-No—"

"Then strip."

My eyes widened. "I am not—"

"I really can't stand stubborn sluts like you. But of course, you're a challenge to me. So, strip."

I shook my head. "I'm not here for—"

"Then you leave me no choice," he said as he grabbed me by the waist and carried me.

"Don't you dare scream, or I'll cut off your head," he warned before his lips started to trail along my skin.

There's no denying that his kisses ignite a fiery sensation on my skin with each one he leaves behind.

His tongue trailed down and delicately explored the entrance of my core, making me shiver with delight. I closed my eyes, knowing that there was no escape now.

I never expected to feel such an overwhelming desire.

Once again, I could feel his undivided attention on me, causing me to catch my breath.

Had he finally recognized me this time?

"A-Alpha-"I had many words to tell him but my breaths turned into screams as he nipped at my nipple.

"Shut up and just let me fck." He emitted a low, disapproving growl, his eyes underwent a remarkable transformation. The once-dark orbs now shimmered with a regal golden hue, unmistakably marking him as a royal wolf.

My soft sounds became loud moans, I couldn't help but lose control. I entwined my legs around his waist and raised my hips, yearning for his firmness against my tenderness.

I don't mind appearing needy. It was no shame to have sex with your mate. We were made for each other by the Moon Goddess. We were meant to be together.

A loud moan escaped my lips as he slid his sizable and lengthy shaft into the entrance of my vagina.

"Shit, woman. I'm barely even inside you, and you're already tight. Fuck it!"

My eyes widened as I watched the hairs coming out of his arms. His wolf was fighting. As if his wolf also wanted to feel me.

I felt like I was going crazy while watching how his fangs grew.

Oh, my Goddess! Was he going to mark me?
