Lessia's POV: I had a tussle in my conscience concerning how I had left Kian hanging his lips out in a kiss. A part of me was ridden with guilt, another, backed up with a reason, approved of it.I wanted that moment to last forever, if he were possible. I needed him to kiss me until I was out of breath, and assure me that he would always feel that way about me, no matter what happened.I was sick and tired of him being sweet for a second, and then rejecting me in the next second, like I was a play thing for him. He might have done that only once, but I couldn't stand to have him do it again. I was beginning to feel like he only wanted me for the sex. It wasn't that I gave that any mind—I did not. I liked him enough to let him do it, but if he was going to stick to that game, I might as well play it with him. That was the reason I left him that way.Before Kian, I never thought I deserved to be treated rightly, or that my feelings even mattered. But now, he had shown me the proper way
Kian's POV Seeing Lessia with the sword in hand, was not as surprising to me as much as seeing her with the guard—same guard I had seen her with last time, enraged me.If Nicholas was wise, he wouldn’t as much as breathe the same air as Lessia, after I let him off the first time. What type of guard did not understand that an Alpha does not appreciate the idea of seeing his mate with another man, even if it’s a guard, for no reason whatsoever.If he was deliberately being defiant, I would make sure he gets a suitable punishment for that.He was a young guard, with the look of a Roman god, the ones found in books. Even as a guard, I took note of the way maids acted around him. Many of them threw themselves at him without batting an eye. I’ve also heard them on so many occasions talk about his member. My mind wasn’t settled, what if Lessia—I shook my head immediately. I didn’t even want to think of that. Lessia was mine and mine alone. And she knew that.A lot of questions spun themsel
Maddox POV These past few months have been the most uneventful. I thought I was getting used to life without Lessia, but it seemed my obsession with her grew stronger and stronger, each day that passed by without her in my life.I had stopped sending her messages because they yielded nothing. I was a practical man, I needed results, not a constant rejection from someone I had bought from her own parents.I thought about her parents, I had bought her from them, what if I met them and threatened them to ask her to come back to me? I thought to myself.I was certain she loved her parents too much that she would rather see them dead than be with me. It was a good plan, I just needed a clear head space to think and plan it carefully. And that was what took me to my next location. A place I hadn’t visited in a while; a brothel.An awful lot of women were in the brothel as usual. One could see them dancing, having fun, drinking, and trying to catch their next costumer.My eyes danced across
Maddox POV: "What are you doing?" She said. "I did—""Shhh! Shut the fuck up, Lessia! You thought you could leave me and get away with it, huh? I bought you, you slut. You belonged to me, and only me. Not that stupid man you chose over me.”“I am really not Lessia, Sir, I am Lisa, the waitress at the bar whom you offered money to—““You know what happens when you defy me, Lessia. So don’t!”The fear in her eyes aroused me as much as it reminded me of her. I knew she wasn’t Lessia, but they looked very much alike, and it was fun practicing with her, what I would do to Lessia when she comes back to me."Who is Lessia?" she asked with her voice strained."I said, shut the hell up, Lessia," I thundered at her as I unleashed the belt on her body. She let out a scream. It caused me only arousal and made my cock erect.“Fuck, Lessia, the things you do to me, you have no idea how much I desire you, not even the slightest clue.”"Who are you? I don’t understand, I haven’t done anything to you
Kian's POV I was distraught by the news. Again, I thought. Once more, the Pack was under attack. I felt hopeless but still I didn't want to show it. Lessia was around. I didn't want to give her the slightest hint that I was beginning to get worried about the constant attacks from bandits.I knew she would think Maddox had something to do with it, and the fear might cause her to run away. I didn’t want to lose her, I know I’ve only been with her for a few months, but it seemed like I had been with her for a life time, and I couldn’t imagine my life anymore without her in it.When the guard informed me something had happened, she was just beside me, I didn’t want her to know what happened, so I asked her to stay. But Lessi was just too defiant."Stay here," I said before marching with the guard."No" she said defiantly, going on to follow behind me. Something I sort of expected, knowing who she was.I didn't have the time or energy to bicker with her so I ignored and continued moving f
Maddox' POV I couldn't help but feel guilt shred through my heart as I drove home. I looked through the glass windows of my car, at each side of the road, and sometimes, I would have the image of me flogging the daylights out of the Lisa girl obstruct my view, almost as if it was being showed right there on the glasses.I honestly didn’t plan to hurt her that way, but her resemblance to Lessia made me lose control of myself. I have never felt bad about punishing anyone, but this Lisa girl seemed to have gotten to me in ways I didn’t understand.She hadn't expected it to turn out like that. Even I too was shocked with the twist my actions took. For a second, I began wondering if she might even wake up. She was so beat up that she could barely lift up her eyelids to look at me.I was a monster, I thought to myself. Something about what happened with Lisa, made me not want to ever hit anyone again. I promised myself I would see her again if I could, and would try to correct my mistake.
Lessia's POV “When the guard informed Kian that something was wrong, the first thought that came to my mind was somehow Maddox was involved. He had been silent for a while maybe he finally did something.I didn't want to leave but he was much more adamant than I was. Whatever was going on seemed pretty serious, I mean, I just heard that the Pack encountered a problem, and he expected me to act like it didn't bother me.I had gotten used to Kian’s pack since it became my home, and I didn’t want anything bad to happen, contrary to what he might probably be thinking.I just could not understand why he did not want me to see what was on the computer screen. I would just have to get it out if him which ever way, I thought to myself as I headed straight to his room specifically.The only reason I left was because I didn’t want to constantly defy him, especially in front of his subjects. They would think he had no control over me and see him as weak.I was certain he would not be able to r
Kian's POV Seeing her cry really broke me. It was not my intention at all to hurt her. I really wanted to give her an answer when she asked if she would ever be part of my pack, but I really did not know what to say to her.Of course she was a part of me, as well as my pack, but I was held back by so many lingering feelings of doubt, because of the issue with my mum’s vase. I didn’t know if it was safe to trust her again. Although that didn’t mean I didn’t care for her.The only thing I could offer, and it came to me without a single prior thought—just an unconscious, involuntary action, was to hug her.I did not want to tell her about the rogue attacks, primarily because I did not want to have her worried about it. But she had the idea that it was mainly because I didn't trust her.I didn’t know what to do to make her feel better, before Lessia I had never been close enough to any woman. I was new at this.The hurt was in the part that I actually wasn't convinced, within myself, th
