Chapter 7

MATILDA'S POV 

Adrenaline rushed through me, and the blood rushed through my veins in such a hurry like they were in a contest on who would arrive at my neck first, to choke me to death.

She gave me a small smile and squeezed my hand in hers before she finally walked away, closing the door softly behind her.

I shivered the moment I heard the door closed.

I had heard many doors close in my lifetime, but never had I been this nervous and terrified at the close of a door. Not even on days when my parents would lock me up for days and offer me food from underneath the door like a dog.

At this point, hearing the door locked, I was certain that this was really it.

There was no going back, not even a chance to run away.

I laughed at my silly thought, it was painful laughter.

It was a hard truth, I could not escape, not even if I wanted to.

Alpha Moses is the strongest Alpha known with a very strong army that could take me down in an instant, and I was just a feeble wolf-less girl that could be broken with only a little snap. I was useless. Just as my parents always call me.

I momentarily looked around the room, my thoughts had made me forget to appreciate the beauty I had just stepped into.

The king's room looked like it was another world on its own, not only was it spacious, it was a sight to behold. Calling it splendor would be an insult to its people. It was beyond what words could describe.

In the adjacent corner of the sitting room was another door that I assumed was the bathroom. I was tempted to walk over and have a closer look at it, so I did just that.

But even though my curiosity was so high that I wanted to open it and have a look, my fear was greater than my curiosity so I kept my hand to myself.

I stepped away from the bathroom and looked at the other side of the room, there was a table, and a telephone sat on the table, it looked like it was still in use. Who uses the telephone these days? I mused as I walked away from there and looked around the room.

Hanging on the beautifully painted wall were several pictures of him, some were photographs, while some of them were hand-painted portraits. But either way, it still looked alluring.

I took enough time to look at his picture closely.

His eyes were the deepest shades of blue I had ever seen, they looked like the kind of eyes that were capable of boring holes and accessing the innermost part of you and baring all the secrets that dwelled therein.

 His lips were curved in such a way that one would think the creator took a break one day and used that special day to make his lips into what they looked like.

Alpha Moses' nose was the most pointed I had ever seen, it was so narrow that I almost feared for him that he would choke as a result of not getting enough air through his nose.

And then his eyebrows looked like the work of a perfect sculptor who used all his time to create perfection out of him. The whole of him looked like a complete work of perfection.

I was still relishing the pleasure of looking at this work of perfection when I suddenly felt the door open.

I quickly turned around in shock and there stood the man that I dreaded the most, the horror that had befallen me these recent days and would continue to taunt me for as long as I don't know.

Maybe till I die?

Turning around to look at him now, I noticed that despite his beauty, there was a fierceness that stood in his hard face that would make even the strongest man on earth fear him.

Looking closely at his face now raised two different kinds of feelings in me, that of attraction, and the feeling of dread.

I quickly looked away from his face and looked down at my shoes.

I could feel my body trembling under his watch, all the fears that were momentarily wiped from me in the few moments when I was alone suddenly returned with full force.

He took one step towards me, then another, and yet another.

He kept taking more steps until he stopped right in front of me.

He stood taller than me, he was so tall that I had to raise my head to be able to see his face.

I raised my head to look up at him, and for a brief moment, our eyes met. I felt his sharp gaze for that brief moment and quickly looked down again.

He slowly placed his hand under my jaw and forced me to look up at him again. My eyes darted from one place to the other in fright, just to make sure that I did not look into his eyes.

Feeling his cold hands on my jaw sent shivers down my spine, and gave me a kind of feeling I had never experienced.

Just as I was trying to make sense of the feelings that were rushing through me, I suddenly felt him bend down slowly and place his soft lips on mine.

I let out a soft whimper involuntarily and regretted it immediately.

He seemed not to pay any attention to my whimper as he deepened the kiss, placing his other arm around my waist. He pulled me forcefully towards him until my body pressed against his in such a way that it gave me a carnal feeling.

My heartbeat increased more than three times the normal beating.

The moment I had dreaded all night was finally here, and it looked like I was not ready for it at all.

He eventually broke the kiss, but not intending to let me go.

Still holding on to my waist, he guided me to the gigantic bed that was on the other side of the room. I let him pull me, because I had no strength to resist him, I was too scared to.

I dared not!

He pushed me to the bed in a way that was not so gentle, and then he climbed in after me.

He slowly ran his fingers through my bare arm, then my shoulder. Gently getting hold of my dress, he pulled it forcefully till it was torn open.
