CHAPTER 49- ARABELLA

He stalked towards me as I kept scurrying backwards. I was about to get up and make a run around

him when he pinned me to the floor and straddled me. I looked at him mesmerized as the sparks flew

in my body.

“What were you saying downstairs baby?” He said as he leaned on me.

His face was right in front of mine. I could feel his breath on my lips. His voice…oh it was making the

butterflies in my stomach go berserk.

“I asked you something Arabella.” H

He caressed my face with his free hand.

“I told you not to touch me.” I mumbled in a weak attempt to make him leave me alone which failed

terribly I might add.

“And why is that baby? Why won’t I touch my own mate? Why won’t my mate have my kids? Do

explain it to me baby.”

He said in a deep husky voice as his lower area came in contact with mine lightly. I bit my lip to stop the

moan that wanted to come out of my mouth. That bitch was enjoying teasing me. I opened my mouth to

answer him snappily but only a moan came out of mouth as his lips touched my neck, pressing light

kiss there.

This is not right but why does this feel so good?

“You know what will lie here baby?” He asked as he nibbled at the crook of my neck making me moan

shamelessly. “My mark will be here for everyone to know that you are mine and nobody else’s.”

He growled in my ears, sending pleasurable shivers down my back. This is not right. I shouldn’t be

doing this. I haven’t forgiven him yet. Right? I was about to protest but he shut it up with his lips

enclosing mine. He was kissing me hungrily. His hands roamed my body as he pressed into me even

more.

As the need for oxygen surfaced, he started leaving open mouthed kisses down my neck and

collarbone while I tried to catch my breath.

He sat up and pulled me in his lap, kissing me again. He pulled me so close to his body that I felt his

body heat radiate into me. He pried my mouth open and a warm bundle of muscles plunged into my

mouth making me moan loudly. He caressed my tongue with his, tugging on my hair.

It felt like all my bones had melted inside my body. I slumped into his arms as he hugged me close.

“Aren’t you a mess doll? I like it.” He said smirking as he cupped my face in his palm.

The heat of embarrassment started to creep up my neck as he surveyed me with heated gaze.

But this is not right. Just because he is my mate doesn’t mean I have to be intimate with him.

He pulled me to my feet as he got up and wiped the tears that escaped my eyes. He pecked my

forehead then nose and lastly placed a soft kiss on my lips.

“Don’t say such things again please. It really hurts me to hear you say something like that. If you do

end up talking like that again, I will gladly remind you who you belong to. You are mine whether you like

it or not and it will stay that way till my last breath.” His expressions shifted from serious to amused.

“Might as well check your hair out before coming downstairs if you don’t want to be teased.”

With that being said he turned around and left my room.

As my senses came back to me, I realized what just happened. That fucking wombat kissed me. It felt

really good but that’s not the point here. How dare he kiss me like that? I will murder him in his sleep

tonight. That will teach him a lesson.

I turned to the mirror to check myself out but stiffened at what I saw.

“ZENO.” I screamed in frustration.

My entire neck was littered with small red marks and a big one was at the crook of my neck which I am

sure anyone would be able to see from a mile.

How the hell am I going to cover all this? I am going to kill him.

I changed into a high neck crop top and jeans as I don’t have any make up to cover Zeno’s drawing

with and stomped downstairs. Zeno flinched at the murderous glare I sent his way.

I took my seat beside Val with Eros on my other side. Zeno was sitting across from me.

“Why do you smell like him?” Eros said scrunching his nose.

My checks started to heat up as Eros looked at Zeno with displeasure.

“Because he attacked me.” I accused making Zeno choke on the glass of juice he was gulping rapidly.

Eros let out a cute growl and almost jumped off of his chair but I caught him before he could go and do

something. Zeno shrunk into his chair as Ben and Ethan growled dangerously beside him. Francis was

laughing his ass off.

I looked around the table but the Knights and Greyson were still not there. Where did they go? Mom

and dad were looking unusually stiff in their seats and so did Uncle Leo. Others looked to have no idea

of it as they were chattering around.

Something is not right. They are hiding something from us.

The dinner went on for an hour or so. I kept glancing at mom and dad all the while but they weren’t

eating much nor were they engaging in the conversations heartily. They looked anxious and on the

edge of their seats. They kept glancing at the door more often than the food in the plates in front of

them. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

We were sitting in the living room after eating the dessert when the front door opened and a very

sweaty Greyson barged in followed by equally dirty Knight family. He nodded towards mom, dad,

Cassidy and Leo and climbed upstairs mumbling something about taking a shower. The Knights

followed suit.

What were they even doing all day that they didn’t even turn up for the dinner? One thing is for sure.

They are hiding something from us.
