Chapter 52 

MALIYA 

you doing to me, Maliya?” The way my name rolled out of his tongue was so addicting. I want 

His voice sounds like a melody to my ear. “What are you to hear him call my name once again. 

I couldn’t stop myself from looking at him. He was just so perfect. He wasn’t the same man I had been staying with for the past three months. He was the same Alpha Xander who scares the shit out of me. He was simply an attractive man, one that I couldn’t help but be drawn to 

How did I miss those perfect faces! My eyes rolled over his body shamelessly, after all, that is what he had been doing all along too, and I couldn’t help the urge to touch him. To trace my fingers on his skin and feel those hard abs 

The more I stared at him, the more attractive he became and I started to think maybe it was the effect of the river. I am aware of the way everyone glowed inside the river, but this, this was different. He was just so perfect, it was as if he belonged here. 

The whole feeling was foreign to me. I have never stared at a man longer than a minute. But for whatever reason, I felt so captivated by his eyes and I couldn’t break away 

Alpha Xander was awfully calm and quiet today. I wanted him to break the silence. To say something. Anything to make me realize how rude I was for staring because it felt so normal, but he remained quiet 

How can a man be so flawed, yet so perfect? His beauty makes me want to forget everything bad he has done to me and just look deeper, maybe I am going to find something different something that everyone else hasn’t seen already. 

Like what! I had no answer to my question and I had no idea of what I was doing, but I knew his stares made me feel so alive, and I didn’t want him 

to break contact. 

Just then, I began to walk slowly towards him. His eyes shifted from my eyes for a second, as they scanned my body. His eyes darkened again, and for the first time in my entire life, I felt so confident in myself my body. 

Prince Kane would body shame me at any given moment. Call me ugly and a fool for being inexperienced, but the way Alpha Xander was staring at me, brought back my confidence. 

1 kept on moving closer to him, neither of us breaking eye contact until I was standing right in front of him. 

I swallowed the lumps in my throat as I watched him swallow lon. Can he feel whatever this is 

My eyes fell on the eye patch on his left eye and it suddenly occurred to me that I had never really seen his left eye. Even when he was asleep, he would always wear his eye patch. 

I wondered if his left eye was just as beautiful as his right eye and then, I lifted my hands up. I wasn’t certain of what I wanted to do since my brain felt cloudy right now, making it impossible for me to breathe. 

My hands fell on his cheeks and I couldn’t help but trail my hands on his soft cheeks. They were so smooth and I wondered how that was possible. 

If he doesn’t like any of this, he doesn’t react. He just stood there, watching my every act, which gave me more confidence. 

eyes patch and without thinking. I take them off. 

I trail my hands up until they land on his ey 

I gasped at how beautiful his eyes were now that he didn’t have an eye patch to cover his beautiful face. My eyes landed on the deep scar below his eyelid, and my heart broke for him. 

Is that why he always covered his beautiful eyes? The wound still looked fresh and it didn’t look like it was healing which made me wonder if it still 

hurts or not. 

I trailed my index finger on the wound, careful enough not to hurt him, yet enough to feel it. 

It makes me feel like I was sharing his problem with him. 

“What happened? How did you get this?” I found myself asking, still completely drawn to the man standing in front of me. 

Just then, Alpha Xander pulled away from my touch and yanked his eyepatch away from my eyes, snapping me out of my truce. 

What did you do, Maliya! 

I saw a flash of anger on Alpha Xander’s face and I could bet that he was fuming with anger inside. I expected him to lash out at me for crossing my boundaries, but instead, he walked out of the water and I was still left dumbfounded about what happened. 

I watched how he changed back into his clothes and walked out of the place without sparing me another look, I didn’t miss how his muscles temed as he walked away and my heart skipped a brat 

Chapter 32 

‘Am I in some kind of trouble? Is he going to punish me? I don’t know how to feel because he won’t even express himself. That was the first time that I’d seen Alpha Xander so gentle. I bet he was mad and I have a feeling that it won’t end well for me. 

I lost the thrills I had when I got here earlier and soon got out of the water. 

1 changed into my clothes and went back into the mansion, but my heart wouldn’t stop brating fast. Is he going to spare me this once? Or is she going to punish me for disrespecting him? 

How can I get so carried away?! I mentally scold myself. 

I got 

into the room to find Alpha Xander already lying on the bed. I knew he wasn’t asleep yet, but he didn’t acknowledge my presence either. 

I went to change into more comfortable clothes without trying to get on his nerves any further, 

1 lay down next to him on the bed, but my heart was beating so fast that I couldn’t fall asleep 

I kept on turning and tossing around, unable to swallow the guilt that was eating me up. I knew Alpha Xander was still awake even though he wouldn’t say anything and I ended up breaking the silence. 

y about what happened earlier. I didn’t mean to disrespect you, please forgive me,” I apologized. 

“I’m sorry 

“There is nothing to be sorry about,” he said calmly without turning to acknowledge me or anything 

I don’t know what has changed but I knew things were no longer the way they used to be. How am I suddenly attracted to the man that I have hated since the very first time I met him? 

It doesn’t make any sense and I can’t help but think if it was his child that I’m carrying that caused the sudden attraction. 

Alpha Xander did not say any more words, so I took it as my chur to shut up, while I just stared at the ceiling
