Did he want to kill me? If he did, his wish is about to be fulfilled.

The moment his lips touched mine, I stopped breathing.

Am I in a dream? That was my first thought.

Then, his lips started moving against mine, hesitant at first, afraid I would stop him any minute. Suddenly, his kisses were filled with vigor, dominating me, owning me. He sucked my mouth as if I was water and he was a man from the desert.

I felt like I was having a heart attack. My heart was pounding. If this continues, will I die later?

His hands traveled down from my shoulders to my ass. He kneaded them. He squeezed them, playfully, as if they were made of clay.

The pleasure was so overwhelming that I couldn't hold myself from moaning.

"Ohhhh"

It encouraged him more and pulled me into him. There I felt something hard on my stomach. I had never touched something like this, but I knew what it was - it was the male anatomy that many female wolves gossip about.

His kisses moved from my mouth to my neck. He traced the crook of my neck with the tip of his tongue. He sucked it for I didn't know how long. Then he bit it lightly and sucked it more.

I rubbed myself into him. God, it was so hot my core was melting!

Then, he stopped.

He pushed me, forcefully that I almost lost my balance. The shock was also evident on his face.

I was confused, hurt, and embarrassed.

How could he?

How could I?

Suddenly, we heard footsteps approaching in the kitchen. We had no time to hide.

"Father" Alaric said as we saw Alpha Angus.

"Alaric." Alpha Angus said.

"Alpha" I greeted.

He noticed me beside Alaric. By the way, he was looking at me, he seemed displeased. Angry even.

His gaze was directed at my shirt and I realized my current state. My top button was missing. I'm guessing my hair was also in disarray as my scrunchie was on the floor. It must have fallen earlier when Alaric attacked me, with his mouth. Aside from my swollen lips, I was also sporting a deep red hickey on my neck. I could say it was a mosquito bite but no one would believe me.

Alaric's state was no better than mine. His hair was also a mess. His shirt was crumpled and his jeans could barely contain his raging hard-on. No need for a detective. Anyone who saw us now could decipher what had transpired between Alaric and me earlier.

"I have something important to tell you." the Alpha began." But I see you are distracted by insignificant matters."

Alaric directed his gaze at me. "Aroa, go to my office-"

"No need," the Alpha interrupted.

"There's nothing new about what I am going to say."

"Father-" "I just want to remind you of your duty to the realms," Alpha Angus sharply. "The search for your mate can no longer be delayed."

My heart dropped. I almost forgot. Alaric has a destined mate. A princess to be exact. He is destined to rule all the realms beside her.

He couldn't be with someone like me. He couldn't afford to be with an omega. I bowed my head in shame.

"Tsk, fix yourself Alaric!" Alpha Angus hissed as he walked out of the kitchen. I was left alone with Alaric. A deafening silence lasted for a minute before he finally spoke.

"Aroa..." Alaric looked at me with pity. "I am sorry."

"No Sir. I apologize. I overstepped my boundaries." I told Alaric immediately.

If I couldn't help myself from getting hurt, I could still save my pride. He stared at me, disbelievingly.

"Do you still need anything from me, Sir?" I asked him, in an overly polite tone.

"If not, I would like to retire for the night."

"No" He answered while gritting his teeth. "I don't need anything from you."

"Well, good night, sir," I said then I hurriedly left the room without waiting for his reply.

----------------------------------------

After I reached my room. I dropped immediately to my bed. I stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, thinking about the events of the day. Then my tears started falling.

Why does it hurt? I never cried when I was bullied. I didn't even shed a single tear when I was being flogged. But now, I could barely contain my whimpers.

What's wrong with me?!

I thought of Alaric and her future queen. The dull ache in my heart got worse.

I love him... I said after realizing the cause of my pain.
