••• Aleena’s POV ••• “Phew.” I wiped the sweat off my forehead with the back of my hand. Why would Kyson have such a huge bed? It’s so big and heavy. It took nearly all my strength just to change the sheet. I quickly tidied everything up, checked the room, and once I was sure everything was cleaned, I left the room and went back to my bedroom to take a bath. Taking off all my clothes, I stepped into the shower, letting the cold water cool down my body. I had been feeling a little hot since I woke up, but not due to a fever. Maybe the weather is a little extra hot today.. After finishing the shower, I reached out to take my towel, but my hand touched an empty space. Oh no, I forgot to bring my towel, even my change of clothes! Oh well, I could just dry my body and wear my clothes in my room. It’s not like anyone would enter my room. I just took two steps from the bathroom door to my bed, where I had put my towel and change of clothes, when I heard the door of my room being opened.

••• Aleena’s POV •••My eyes flew open, and I woke up with a gasp. My whole body was sore and covered in sweat. Sitting up on the bed, I massaged the temples of my head. There was something about my dream.. Something that I couldn't remember. It made me feel uneasy. I tried recollecting it again, but my mind went blank, and a headache hit me instead. Taking a deep breath, I let go of all my thoughts about my dream and the uneasiness that came with it.I reached out toward my phone on my bedside table and checked the time. 6 am? A whole day had passed? I’ve been sleeping for a whole day yesterday and also the whole night?! Wow!Thinking of what had happened yesterday, I felt my cheeks heat up. Kyson and Night had.. I’m not a virgin anymore.. And they marked me! Oh, Goddess, I couldn't believe it! I have a mate! Witch Rose was wrong! A silly smile appeared on my face. Somehow I felt like a giddy schoolgirl whose crush had just told her that he was in love with her too!I kept giggling u

••• Aleena’s POV •••“It was nice for Alpha Kyson to let you shop,” Beta Christine said as she accompanied me to the town center.“Yes,” I smiled broadly as we walked into another boutique. The town center was bigger and better than I’d imagined it to be. There were many selections of shops, from bakeries down to formal clothing. There was even an art gallery and exhibition hall.“I know this is not my place to ask, but.. how are things with Alpha Kyson?” Beta Christine asked in a soft voice.Beta Christine was a lovely woman. She was very gentle, and it was easy to talk to her. She made me feel like I had an older sister.“Well.. I want him to love me, but it looks like he doesn't want to.” I said with a sad smile.“Just give him time. It wasn't easy for him to be an only Lycan, and he always harbored hatred toward Andre. It’ll be a little hard for him to accept that his mate was the enemy’s daughter,” she said gently.“But I’m not Andre’s daughter. At least I don't think so. He woul

••• Aleena’s POV •••“You okay Aleena?” Kyson asked as we reached my room.“Yes I’m okay, Alpha Kyson,” I assured him.He stepped back and looked at my whole body, no doubt to check if I had any injuries, which I had none.“You did good just now. We are impressed with your speed,” he praised and I beamed at him.“We still need to see your strength, but we’ll do it another day. Rest first. See you at dinner.” He pecked my lips and turned around to leave.“Wait!” I quickly went inside my room and took the shopping bags with the stuff I had bought for him.“Here. I bought some things for you.” I offered him the shopping bags.He looked startled. “You bought things for me?”I nodded a few times. “I hope you like them.”A rare gentle smile appeared on his face, and I caught my breath looking at it. He looked so different than his usual arrogant self.“Thank you.” He took the shopping bags and pecked my lips.“See you at dinner,” I said with a shy smile.“See you.” He pecked my lips again a

••• Aleena’s POV •••“No. You are my only mate,” he said firmly. Before I could reply, his lips landed on mine, swallowing whatever words I wanted to say.“Don't ever reject me again,” he growled out after he pulled away “Okay.” I nodded and hugged him back. My heart was beating fast and happiness bloomed in my heart. What can I say other than ‘okay’ when his words and kiss stole my breath away?“Phew.. It was all just a misunderstanding,” Celia let out a breath of relief, and I giggled.“Aleena, there’s something that I need to talk to you about,” I heard him say, and I couldn't help but freeze at his words. He sounded so serious.“You.. You said you won't reject me.” I was scared he had changed his mind.He looked at me in amusement before he kissed me hard again.I was gasping when he let me go.“Is that enough answer about rejection?” he growled as if he was angry, but his eyes were glowing with mirth.“Yes.” I nodded and I felt myself blushing. He just kissed me to make a point!
