Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Chapter 38

Alpha Greyson was no longer by my side the next day. The Eastern Snow Pack's Luna Vienna informed me that Alpha Greyson had gone somewhere with Alpha Alfred. I also discovered that our carriage arrived yesterday night. So, even if Alpha Greyson wasn't there yet, I had to return to the palace. Alpha Greyson, according to Beta Miguel, will follow at the palace.

I can't help but regret not seeing Alpha Greyson when I awoke. I'm not sure why that morning is so important to me. Perhaps because Alpha Greyson and I had shared a warm night the night before.

Nonetheless, I smiled as I said my goodbyes to Luna Vienna and the people of the Eastern Snow Pack.

"What time do you think Alpha Greyson will be home, Beta Miguel?" I inquired of the man in front of me.

"Your Highness, I'm not sure. But it won't be long before Alpha Greyson can go home," he said. I just nodded and looked out the window of the carriage we were riding in now. I'm not sure why I'm sad. Maybe it's because this isn't what I expected after that night. I knew I had somehow entered Alpha Greyson's heart. Little by little, his attitude towards me is changing.

But I don't understand why he couldn't even wake me up and say goodbye that he was leaving?

"What is he doing with Alpha Alfred?" I can't help myself from wondering.

"Forgive me, but I cannot say anything to you, your Majesty," Beta Miguel said respectfully. I simply held my breath. I knew we were going to the Eastern Snow Pack, and I had planned to discover the one who had taken Shena, but I was upset since I didn't find the old man who had taken Shena. But I remembered the odd man I met in the Eastern Snow Pack wilderness. He introduced himself as Dylan, but I didn't spot Dylan in the entire Eastern Snow Pack this morning. Is it possible... Dylan isn't from the Eastern Snow Pack, is he? So... who is that man?

I shook my head when we reached the palace. Rose and Kylie greeted me right away. They had food and clothes ready for me. I was able to talk with Gina and Yna while eating. I went straight to my room after finishing to change my clothing.

I spotted a black mark on my neck while undressing inside the walk-in closet. When I realized what that was, I swallowed hard. It was... our mate bond mark! I touched it on my neck and couldn't stop marveling at the fact that it was already there. After what happened last night, I definitely got it.

I dressed and spent my time inside the room reading a book. I can go to the library if I want but I don't want to. What if Alpha Greyson reappears unexpectedly? He will undoubtedly enter this room first. While reading, I was stunned to remember the man I met in the forest of the Eastern Snow Pack. Dylan was his name. Dylan... Is it possible that I've heard that name before?

I had just come to a halt in my thoughts when the bedroom door burst open, revealing Alpha Greyson, who appeared to have just returned from a trip. I hurriedly rose from my seat on the bed and faced him. I can't help but feel anxious. I'm not sure if I'm excited or terrified, especially after what happened to us last night.

"I'm glad you got home safely; ahm... your shower is ready in the bathroom," I said. When his sight was drawn to mine, I lowered my look. I forced a strong swallow.

"All right," he said quietly as he entered the bathroom. My lips parted because of what he did. He was icy... exactly like before. My heart was stinging with sorrow. Is that all? After what happened last night? I sat on the bed, biting my bottom lip.

After what occurred last night, I hoped he would alter his mind about me. I'm mistaken. I'm aware that it's my fault because I hoped. But I can't deny that it's emotionally draining. My eyes welled up with tears. Because of the weight I'm carrying, I can't stop crying. I had just come to a halt when the bathroom door unexpectedly opened.

I hurriedly brushed away my tears and turned to face Alpha Greyson, who was now dressed just in a bathrobe. We both exchanged glances. I averted my gaze because staring into his eyes was excruciatingly difficult. That's why his rapid step toward me shocked me even more.

He silently lifted and massaged my jaw. He knelt down and kissed my lips tenderly. I was stunned and couldn't respond right away. What is going on? Didn't he just treat me coldly? Why is he kissing me now? I do not understand.

I quickly pushed him on his chest. I rose up and turned to face him. My tears ran down my cheeks.

"Why are you kissing me now? Aren't you cold to me? You don't care about everything that happened to us last night!" I couldn't stop myself from bursting out. He couldn't say anything. He just stood there staring at me. I was even more annoyed by him.

"If you won't talk, I'll just leave. I'm going to the library for a while—" I couldn't complete what I was about to say when he tugged my wrist, causing me to fall quickly against his chest, my heart racing nearly nonstop. I don't know what he's doing, but it has a strong effect on me.

"I'm sorry..." he said quietly, holding my jaw. He gently massaged it, drawing my gaze to his beautiful eyes. Because of his eyes which looked to be as deep as the ocean, I was drowning even deeper.

"I was confused..." he added. My brows come together. "With what?" I inquired, startled.

"I was unsure whether my feelings were genuine or if they were part of our mate bond," he explained. What he said astounded me. "I know you love me, Amara, and I'm not sure if I will equal you. I have proven that you are true in everything, and I don't want to hurt you any further just because of what happened last night," he added.

He is right. This is why he treats me so coldly. I nodded to him and pushed him hard so I could get away from him. I shouldn't feel so hurt because he was right. He has a valid reason. So, even if it hurts, I must accept it.

"I understand..." I muttered, moving my hand away from his. When he wouldn't let me go, I stared at him.

"Leave me alone; I'm going to rest," I said.

"I'm not done yet," he explained. We both exchanged glances. I tried to prevent it, but I was drawn to his eyes.

"I was confused, but... I still want you, Amara. Is it bad to still want you? Am I selfish?" his voice shook, my knees buckled, and I lost more and more in his gaze.

"I want you..." he whispered and kissed me passionately. He pressed me against him. My knees finally gave out. I let him carry me into the bathroom. My legs are snaked around his waist while he kisses me hungrily. I can't think of anything but his kisses. He locked the bathroom and leaned me against the door.

I arched my back as his other hand traveled down my thighs toward my centerfolds. I closed my eyes tightly because of the sensation I felt. My urges are worse than they were last night. With every touch of Alpha Greyson's lips and hands on my body, I can feel the heat.

He had totally undressed me, so he could kiss and play with my chest more freely. While one of his hands reached my center. As his finger slipped within me, I bit his shoulder.

"Ahh..." I stuttered. My thigh became tense around his waist. His left hand was caressing my left breast, and his lips were on my right. I'm completely lost in him.

"Ahh! F-Faster!" I moaned loudly when he slid another finger. I could feel my wetness against his fingers, making me even more needy of him! My lips parted when I reached my climax, and he kissed me firmly. Our tongues clashed. He went around every corner of my lips. I felt him walk into the shower, and warm water hit my skin. Alpha Greyson leaned me against the glass wall of the shower

"Ah... crap!" I cursed out as he used his shaft to draw a circle against my folds. I was frustrated and pinched his skin. He's making fun of me!

"Do you want this... hmm?" He sensually muttered to me while dry-humping. Every time his manhood rubs against me, I think I'm going insane. I was gripping his shoulder fervently as he moved around in my center.

I begged, "Please..." I need him right now! I want him all right now!

"Please... what?" he asked, feeling the tiny push of his masculinity on me. Because of what he did, my butt rose. Damn him! He rose again, which heightened my excitement.

"Please... fucking put it in!" I almost yelled at him. Before he finally shoved inside me, I heard him chuckle. Because of his tremendous penetration, I moaned aloud. As he continued to pound on me, he devoured my lips. As he tightened his hold on my butt to meet his every thrust, my thigh tightened around his waist.

I whimpered in between kisses. Because of his quick motions, my chest was jumping up and down. He stopped kissing me and leaned in to suck my breast. I moaned loudly, cursed, and sensually whispered to him about how much faster he should be. He complied by moving quickly and forcefully. I was shaken every time he came in because of a peculiar sense.

“Oh! Oh! Greyson... oh!" I moaned some more. He came to a halt and placed my legs on the ground. I was helpless, yet I let him. He made me turn around and face the wall. He knelt down on my back and pushed my buttocks towards him. As he approached behind me, I let out a loud moan. He reached for my boobs and molded them while thrusting behind me. I could feel him entering me more.

As we approached the climax, we moaned together. Alpha Greyson pushed me to look at him again and kissed me shallowly. I'm weak, but with each kiss, Alpha Greyson gives me now, I feel like I'm falling deeper and deeper in love with him.

"I don't want you to leave... I want you to be here beside me..." he quietly muttered as he kissed my earlobe.
