Chapter 5

Reena's POV

My heart skipped a beat when I saw who it was, my eyes darting around as my heart pounded loudly in my chest while I inched closer to the wall I was seating close to.

A sweet scent had penetrated my nostrils, making its way inside of me to alert my wolf. It was the scent of cyder and woods and when I turned my head to where it was coming from, my heart sunk to my rib.

"Mate," my wolf whispered gently within me as my eyes glued to his orbs which had spellbound me.

I wanted to run towards him, to hold him close and to have him all to myself but the hatred I felt for him didn't let me leave where I was seated. I wasn't going to make that mistake of trusting a man so easily again.

He stood there, his eyes still fixed on me as he contemplated whether to come to me or not. I could see creased lines on his forehead like he was in deep thought about the matter.

"He probably doesn't want us," I spoke inwardly, tearing my gaze away from him. If he was ashamed to keep me, then I don't want him to be in my life as well. I had had enough of men treating me like a slave.

Amongst all the Alphas I had been opportuned to meet, the only different one was Caleb. He had been my friend since I got here and often came to check up on me when I sustained injuries.

Caleb was gentle, and kind and always had a sweet smile to make your worries fade away.

"Mate," Alpha Logan's voice brought me back to reality and I gulped down the nervousness I was feeling but I noticed he wasn't moving towards me either. He seemed to be afraid of coming closer to me and although it stung my heart, I pretended not to care.

Alpha Logan's gaze softened towards me and he began to make small steps which got my heart beating even louder than before.

I was scared of what he was going to do but when he was only a few inches closer to me, he paused. His gaze softened and it felt like for the first time since I got here he had taken pity on me.

I sigh, thinking about the first time he touched me. It was painful because he wasn't gentle, thrusting his dick in and out of me without caring whether it hurt me or not. He was focused on pleasing himself, not caring about my feelings.

But the shocking thing was that no matter how much he hurt me, I longed for his touch. If I wasn't a slave, I would have wrapped myself around him, making sure he pleased me to my heart's content.

"Mate," he moved closer, filling up the inch that remained between the two of us as he crouched down to my level. His eyes glittered with love and care.

My chest tightened and I felt like I couldn't breathe properly. He was being caring and wasn't screaming at me.

My throat juggled up and down while beads of sweat plastered on my face. I was beyond scared at this moment, I didn't know what he wanted with me. 

His big hands slowly approached my face, caressing it most lovingly. His hands rubbed my soft cheeks and I closed my eyes to get a feel of his gentle hands on my face.

His hands caressed my face for a while before going to rest on my lips.

My lips trembled and so did my hands. My eyes were still closed with my head lowered just like any servant should be.

"Look at me," his voice whispered in my ears as his breath tickled me and like I was under a spell, I slowly opened my eyes while he lifted my chin so I could gaze directly into his eyes.

From the way he was acting right now, I could tell his wolf was in control.

"You…" he trailed off, he was so lost in my eyes and I could tell that he wanted me right now.

"You are so beautiful," his lips inched closer to mine and I gulped, subconsciously when he didn't stop itching close to me.

His lips captured mine in the most passionate kiss, his hands holding my head firmly in place so he could guide my lips on how they could go.

My heart was beating loudly and I felt butterflies moving around in my tummy. My lips moved in sync with his as his tongue delved deeper into my mouth. There was some kind of hunger in him, one I had never seen before.

"Mmm," I moaned when his strong hands wrapped around my waist and slowly trailed to my behind.

Goosebumps appeared all over my skin when I felt his touch over and over again, forcing me to wrap my hands around his neck.

The way he kissed me was just so magical and I felt a pool of wetness in between my legs.

"Mmm, you're getting ready for me," he groaned, pulling out from the kiss.

Both of us were left breathing and our chests moved according to our unstable heartbeats.

He flashes me a smile, his hands still caressing my soft cheeks and for the first time in a very long time, I felt loved by someone.

"Do you think I don't want you?" His question caused a loud thud in my chest. My eyes darted around not knowing what he was trying to tell me.

"I want you," his hoarse voice caused my eyes to widen in surprise. I didn't know I would hear any of these words coming from a man.

"I, I–" I stammered, not knowing what to say to him. I was overwhelmed by the feeling of his hot lips against mine.

"Be mine, Reena," hearing those words from his lips made my eyes widen, he knew my name.
