Chapter 117: Chapter 117

Elsa woke up a bit late as she watched the sun already high outside, not to mention the chirping of the birds on the branches that hit her windows. It was refreshing to wake up like this, how long has it been since she had such a peaceful and gentle awakening? Since he died?

She sighed, moving her gaze to his portrait in front of her bed. She now felt guilty for taking another man into the room she shared for over seventeen years with her husband, it was sweet and tender awakenings with morning passions that carried her. He brought her breakfast in bed and made sure to support her with the pack.

She tells herself that he has fully fulfilled his role as a mate throughout their union, but she doesn't know if that was the case for her. She had a delicate position in the pack which meant that she was always out of the house, he was the one who took care of everything in the house and the education of their son. Certainly, it was his role in their couple as an omega but she thinks that she did not love him as he deserved.

Her adorable little angel as she used to call him. It is true that physically he was more delicate and smaller than her, alpha women have always had a more masculine body than others with a few exceptions. She's only met two so far who despite their alpha status had delicate bodies like omega.

Sophia and the first, this woman she hated without really having the right to because after all, it wasn't her fault if the people around her had decided for her what her future should be. She had fled to escape her tragic fate, said to be with the man she loved, and met a tragic fate at the very hands of her father and her peers of the same pack despite the hunt that was upon them by her brother-in-law: Samantha, the daughter of the Alpha of Shield of Rain.

This woman was very beautiful, impossible to say that she was an alpha, she can understand that her brother-in-law was seduced by her, such a beautiful and strong alpha, normal that it stung his greed and that he wanted to have this precious and rare woman. In defiance of his union with her sister.

She sighed, not wanting to remember that kind of unpleasant stuff anymore early morning. She felt a twinge in her heart as she looked at her husband's portrait, his soft blue eyes that seemed to stare at her and she quickly looked away. It was too much, and she feels bad. But she couldn't help but fall into Tom's arms even though now she feels like all this time she cheated on her husband keeping feelings for her first love so after his death, she hastened to restart their relationship.

Shit luckily her Rayan isn't here. Who knows what would have happened if he knew what happened all night in the bedroom she shared with his dad?

She sighed feeling the sheets rustling and she watched Tom's naked body turn towards her, giving her an unobstructed view. He was certainly a beta but he had a magnificent body and the physical exercises made him almost as impressive as an alpha. In this aspect, he was physically more impressive than her late husband who had a frail and delicate body, the body of an omega.

Tom opened his eyes to find her watching him and he straightened up, coming to take her in his arms.

" Hey."

Elsa just looked away before she felt Tom grab her chin.

" Do you regret what happened yesterday?"

Elsa shifted getting up from the bed as she frowned.

* Don't talk nonsense. I'm not a kid either, my age no longer allows me to feel such trivial and ridiculous things as regret after sleeping with a man."

Tom frowned as well.

" Don't talk like that. When you limit me to just one man in your bed... I feel like you've had several after him and I'm just completing the picture."

Elsa gritted her teeth before going to her closet to get an item of clothing.

" Never mind. I have to go."

" Elsa…"

Then he stopped looking at the portrait of the man he hated all these years. He had taken the woman he loves from him leaving him in despair even after his death. He was never able to turn the page even if he was sure that Elsa had done so immediately after being marked by this man.

He sighed, it was no longer the time to feel all this animosity towards this man, it had been fate so it is obvious that the man did nothing to him. He's not even sure he knew about him.

He got up going to take Elsa in his arms, he always wanted to do it, every day like that.

" Elsa... I can't hold back anymore, I just don't want to look at you from a distance and risk seeing you with someone else. I've waited long enough, you lost your predestined mate a long time ago, and you're no longer subject to fate, I want to make you happy, and take care of you."

" You can not. Not only are you not from my pack being a loner, but you keep this boy with you...Tom, how can I trust you when you agreed from this woman's mouth to take care of her child? You know...you know how much seeing Jessy ruins me…"

Tom closed his eyes, that's one of the reasons why Elsa had pushed him away even after her husband died, Jessy's mother, was a childhood friend, even before he met Elsa, they had grown up together when Tom's parents, members of a pack outside Capital City, had been killed. It was those of their friends who had taken him in even though he had refused to join the Shield of Rain. He had preferred to be a loner, it was only out of gratitude that he had agreed to take Jessy in. But Elsa, mad with rage and hatred, could not accept it and their relationship only deteriorated over time. But he loves her so much, he can't hold back his feelings any longer.

" You already know my reasons, Elsa... I just couldn't abandon this child with the debt I owed to his mother's family."

Elsa could understand it, but accepting it was another matter. She left Tom's arms and went to get a bathrobe to take her bath.

" You should leave."

" I don't understand you .. what we did yesterday has so little importance for you?"

" It was a moment of weakness due to my long loneliness, that's all. Tom between you and me there cannot be a relationship."

Tom felt his heart break as he grabbed Elsa's arm forcing her to turn to look at him.

" I do not agree. From now on, Elsa, you will be mine."

He lured her into bed again, casting a cold stare at his former rival's portrait. He's already made a concession, it's over. Even if he has to impose himself on Elsa, he will make her his, body and soul.

" What are you doing? I have to go out and…"

He closed Elsa's mouth with a kiss before opening her bathrobe, spreading her legs to get into them.

" I am not satisfied. I have a libido of more than twenty-seven years that is just waiting to be filled and it's not just one night that will fix it. Elsa, I won't be standing here watching you slip through my fingers."

Elsa's eyes widened as Tom thrust inside her again, snatching a long, delicious moan. Elsa already knew it since yesterday, no matter how hard she tried, from the moment Tom delighted her with her clothes soaking into her so deliciously, she could never push him away again, and that's what scares her the most.
