The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 33: Going Back
-=Martina's Point of View=-"Are you sure you're alright? Your face is really red," I heard Kian ask for maybe the fourth time now.We were having a late dinner after we were done showering and changing into dry clothes, and ever since that obscene thought crossed my mind, I couldn't stop my face from getting red whenever I remembered the mistake I had earlier."Of course!" I forcefully said.I had honestly thought he was about to move in for a kiss earlier, only to realize that his true aim was to relish the dinner he had cooked for us. That disappointing moment appeared to be imprinted in my memory, refusing to fade.Kian didn't intentionally give me the wrong impression, as I realize now. It was just my irrational imagination running wild. In my moment of vulnerability, I entertained the idea that I may be irresistibly appealing, only to be rudely woken by the sobering reality that I was simply indulged in conceit."Am I not sexy enough?" I thought to myself."Are you sure? You're.
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 34: No One Needs to Know
-=Martina's Point of View=-"Don't you want me anymore?" I asked with a trembling voice as his words finally registered in my mind.I couldn't accept that after all the trouble I went through, it would just end up with him asking me to go back to the castle, and I was guessing that he would tell me next to forget about him."What? What do you..." He asked, looking confused, and for some reason, a few seconds later, his face shone as if finally realizing what I said, which, to be honest, I didn't know how my question could be confusing."Do you think I was trying to get rid of you?" he asked."Isn't that what you meant when you told me that I needed to go back to the castle?""You're mistaken, Martina. Yes, I wanted you to go back to the castle so you could have a better rest and also so you could still proceed with your role as the island's mistress," he explained, which still didn't make sense to me."I still don't understand," I said."What I want you to do is pretend that this didn
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 35: Around Him
-=Martina's Point of View=-“Did you hear anything from Zion?” I asked Zeke as I was having my breakfast.It has been four months since he left for some medical reason, and until now, I still haven’t had the chance to talk to him. When I asked Zeke, he just kept on telling me not to worry about Zion, but four months had already passed, and he also said that he didn’t have any updates yet about Zion, but he doesn’t appear to be worried, which really confuses me.“I’m sorry, mistress, but Master Zion still didn’t contact me,” he said apologetically.“Why do I feel like you were not worried at all? The last time you heard from him was when I was able to talk to my dad and confirm that Zion was indeed helping my dad recover, but after that, there was no news about him.My words probably insulted Zeke because the expression on his face became stern, but being professional, he still speaks in a courteous manner.“Please rest assured that I care about Master Zion, and the reason why I didn’
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 36: Understanding Boyfriend
-=Martina's Point of View=-The following day, I accompanied Annie to where her electric bike was parked; she was already ready to leave, and all her belongings were tightly arranged on her bike."I will be taking my leave now, Martina, and I expected you to do what you promised," she said, smiling, but beneath that calm voice, I could detect a hint of threat. I just laughed at her and told her to expect me later that night once I was done with whatever I needed to do."Can you just finish it now, so we can go together instead of you going at night?" she asked."It would take some time for me to finish my business, and instead of you waiting for me, just go ahead and enjoy your rest day; I will follow later, I promise," I said, adding the last part to put her mind at ease."Ok, but whatever happens, text me, ok?" she asked."That I can do, and see you later," I said.She didn't stay that long and left, and I waited for her to completely disappear from my sight before finally deciding
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 37: Another Nuisance
-=Martina's Point of View=-Honestly, I didn't know that I would be having a blast while staying in Annie's town. I was worried about how I could act like nothing was bothering me, considering that I really wanted to be with Kian at first. Still, after having another dinner with Annie's family and spending time talking about anything under the sun, I found myself really enjoying my time here.Listening to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas talk about their daughter made me know more about Annie, and I could tell that I was so lucky to have a friend like Annie."I'm lucky to have Annie with me in the castle," I said.I didn't elaborate on how I was lucky to have her with me, since it was something personal, and I didn't want them to know of my circumstance of being married to Zion.It was around ten when we all finally decided to go to sleep, but before going to bed, I decided to take a quick shower before sleeping."Aren't you going to take a shower?" I asked when Annie didn't show any indication of
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 38: A Liar
-=Martina's Point of View=-I couldn't help but notice that some of the girls I was with seemed like they were feeling giddy while looking at the newcomer. Well, in all fairness to him, he is an attractive guy, like a boy-next-door type of guy.I had my fair share of encounters with guys like him in school, and I can say that I'm into people like him even now. But, of course, that's just my personal opinion, and besides, Kian was way more handsome than he is."A thousand times goodlooking, no, make it a million times!" I thought to myself, maybe exaggerating a little bit."Sorry, but we had to decline," I said without returning his smile.Upon hearing my reply, the smile on his face waivered, but he still tried to maintain it and composed himself, which I actually admired.He probably didn't expect a rejection right away, but I don't feel that it was right for Kian or Zion for me to talk to another guy."Then, is it okay for you to be in a relationship with Kian when you're actually m
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 39: Pestered by a Fly
-=Martina's Point of View=-I managed to stay away from Jackson and his arrogance thanks to the help of my friends, but I was pretty sure they were happy to oblige since they managed to steer Jackson away from me. Like I said, Jackson is really good-looking, and some of the girls are honest and say that they like him, which is understandable. But as a good friend, I thought of giving them advice, but they didn't see to mind what I said."Well, it's their decision anyway," I thought to myself.I know all of us are the same age or almost the same age, and I didn't really experience having a boyfriend before getting married, but still, these girls seem to be sweet and naive, and they don't have any idea what kind of guy Jackson was. I saw the like of him way back in school, but again, it's still their decision, and I just hope they make the right decision.It was around three when we all decided to pack up and leave, and I didn't even glance at Jackson when we got into the car, although
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 40: My Boyfriend
-=Martina's Point of View=-"I am having such a terrible evening!" I thought to myself.I couldn't comprehend how a perfect girls' night out would suddenly turn into a night of frustration and irritation just because of one guy, and that guy is just sitting on my right side inside the cinema.I didn't know how he managed to get a seat next to me, but I guess shit happened, and there was nothing I could do to avoid him.Annie offered to change seats with me, but I declined, and my reason for that was because I didn't want Jackson to think that I was weary of him. Maybe I am, but not in the way he was probably thinking.Perhaps I was too quick to assume that he thought I was just playing hard to get in the hopes that I'd eventually warm up to him. But, to be clear, even if hell did freeze over, that kind of thing would remain an extremely unlikely event—a chance so inconceivable that it's almost non-existent."I would rather stay married to Zion," I thought to myself, and I was shocked
