Chapter 37
Lorena POV
He leaned closer to me as soon as he made that statement and I closed my eyes waiting patiently to be kissed by him. I felt his hands on my cheek and anticipated the kiss. As he leaned closer, I could feel his breath on my nose. I shouldn't be doing this, I thought and wanted to push him when our lips met. My eyes widened and I placed my hands on his shoulder. What just happened? Did I just kiss a man I just met and betrayed Fenrir? I shouldn't be doing this. “No,” I said in between the kiss and pushed Alistair. He was surprised by my sudden reaction and stood up.
“I got carried away by your beauty,” he stretched forth his hand towards me and pulled me up from the ground. I averted my eyes from his and tucked my hair behind my ears. “I apologize for kissing you,” he said.
I forced a smile on my face and nodded in response. “It's okay” I told him but deep inside of me, it wasn't okay because I knew that Fenrir could have seen us even though we were surrounded by trees. I looked around me hoping that Fenrir wasn around there and luckily for me, he wasn't. “Thank Goodness," I inhaled deeply and placed my hand on my beating. I had no reason for being scared of Fenrir but at the same time, I didn’t want him to find me in such a compromising situation and called me names again. “I believe we should start leaving right?” I turned to leave but Alistair grabbed my hand. “What are you doing?” I asked him because I had no idea why he was doing that when it doesn't seem like he had an ulterior motive. “Are you still mad at me for what I did?" He asked the obvious question. Because I didn't want to argue any further, I shook my head in response and yanked my hand from his grip.
“I enjoyed listening to nature," I rubbed my wrist and smiled at him. “it was nice knowing you but I guess we should leave now," I told him and he nodded in response without arguing. Staying in the forest together was going to raise more question when Fenrir finds out about us. I didn't care about how he felt but I just couldn't face him again and let him call me names. The reason why I cared about what he think still baffles me. Everything Miss Donna did was to get him jealous but now, I act as if I didn't want him to see me with somebody else. What is going on with me? I thought.
Let's go," Alistair said and I jolted to reality as he grabbed my hand and pulled me alongside him leading us out of the forest Once I see the mansion in sight, I tried to free my hand from Alistair but instead, he held me tighter. “will you like me to show you another place some other time?” He asked and I stopped walking when he stopped. He placed his hands on my shoulders when I didn't reply to him. “I have made a bad impression of myself right?” He asked.
“No,” I chuckled and tried to pretend as if he wasn't saying the truth. “Don’t worry about what I..." I stopped talking when I felt his lips on my forehead and the feelings came again. My heart raced faster than usual and I blinked nonstop as he pulle “away from me. What was this feeling? I placed my hand on my chest as he raised my head to face him. We both stared at each other as if we were lovers. We were so lost in the moment that we didn't realize that someone was behind us. “Amazing!” Fenris annoying voice sounded behind Alistair. Because Alistair was taller, I couldn't see Fenrir but as he walked up to us, I knew that something huge was about to happen. My body shook vigorously and if not for Alistair's hands on my shoulders then I could have died of shock but I didn't. “Now you are getting closer to Alistair too?" Fenrir asked as he reached my side.
“You.” my voice broke as I tried to speak but I suddenly lost my voice. “I.” I wanted to slap myself at that moment because the plan to make the king jealous was not working instead I could feel his burning gaze on me and I knew that it wasn't jealousy. It was anger.
“Are you ever going to let go of my s*x slave Alistair?” He asked. The way he said s* slave made me feel as if I wasn't worthy of him. The name made me cringe even though that was what I was bought to be.
I was his slave and there was nothing I could do about it even if I wanted.
“Fenrir, it's not what you think,” Alistair tried to explain himself and he made it worse by letting go of my shoulders and placing his hand around my waist pulling me closer to himself.
Does he know about the jealousy thing? I raised my head to look at him and he also looked down at me with a smile on his face. We were both like that for a few seconds until Fenrir grabbed my hand.
“Enough!” He shouted at us and pulled me away from Alistair's arms. “You might not know this but this human right here is mine!” He said possessively and grabbed me by the waist. “no one is allowed to touch her like this!” He said and pulled me away from Alistair.
“Your highness,” I tried to catch my breath as he walked hastily while I jog behind him to keep up with his pace. “it's not wha you think," I tried to explain myself but he wouldn't listen. We passed amongst a few guards, and concubines including Rebekah and Danielle. When they saw me, they pointed at me and make fun of me. “Your highness!"
“Stop talking if you don't want me to pin you to the wall and f**k you in front of everyone,” He threatened.
visibly gulped even though he didn't turn around to face me and continued walking. I bumped into someone while jogging to catch up with him. The person I bumped into was Angelica, the proposed Luna Queen. She was walking from the direction of Fenrir's office and when she saw us, she bowed to Fenrir but I bumped into her.
“Iam sorry," I mouthed to her but she was out of sight before I could see her reaction as Fenrir dragged us into his office an slammed the door shut. He pushed me towards the Wall and raised my hands. “your. I tries to speak but he captured my lips roughly.
Here we go again.
