Chapter 53
We were both engulfed in silence. As his gaze waited for an answer, I could feel my heart breaking. I lowered my gaze and diverted his gaze. Maybe it's also my responsibility that he suspects me like this. Maybe it's also my fault that he doesn't believe me right away. But... I never expected it to turn out this way.
"I didn't know it was Beta Miguel's room, Alpha Greyson," I admitted bluntly. I could hear him sigh with relief.
"Then, what are you doing there?" he inquired. My jaw clenched. He grabbed both of my hands, but I managed to dodge him. His gaze was fixed on mine.
"I... went to Mrs. Clea's office to visit her. I Just sneaked out so the only choice I had was to hide from you. I know you won't let me go to Mrs. Clea's office because I was alone, so I was able to do it," I answered coldly.
"Why do you have to go there by yourself? You can be accompanied by the guards."
"And I don't like it, Alpha Greyson; I'm used to being alone," I said, my tone chilly. "I'm going to sleep," I replied, turning away from him, but he seized both of my hands. My heart was pounding in my chest. I don't want to be angry with him but I don't think I can talk to him about how I feel.
"Please... believe me when I say that I didn't believe all those rumors. I know that I am your one and only. You're pregnant with our child, there's no doubt about it..." his tone was pleading. It's like breaking my heart. I feel like the weight in my chest has been reduced. Tears fell on my eyes. He saw my tears falling so he quickly wiped them away with his thumb.
Our gazes locked. As he watched me cry silently, his eyes softened and gentled.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." he mumbled as he yanked me from his tight embrace. I couldn't help but cry on his chest. I moved instantly for him after hearing him say he believed in me. Just one hug from him makes me feel like he will never leave me.
"I-I thought... you're also thinking that this is not your child..." I sobbed. He hugged me even more tightly.
"I'm not stupid, Amara. If another man touches you, I'll know right away. Do you think our mate bond is weak?" His voice was full of concern as he hugged me, and what he said made me cry even more. I grabbed him back and continued to cry on his chest.
He scooped me from my seat and placed me on the bed, where he lay next to me, and swiftly encased me in his hard and warm chest as we lay on large bed.
"I'm very... sorry... I'm sorry, Amara," he said as he hugged me securely in his arms, and I closed my eyes tightly.
"Alpha Greyson..." I said, and he kissed the top of my head before responding, "Yes?"
"Do you remember what you told me before about someone betraying you?" I began. He was taken aback by what I said. "What do you think about it?" he inquired. I forced a strong swallow. "How would you react if you discovered that the person betraying you is a close friend?"
I could feel his body tense. I raised my eyes to him. I noticed his serious expression. His blue eyes seemed to be deep in thought. He seemed to be thinking carefully about my question.
"I won't hesitate to kill him or her, even if he or she is my friend," he stated emphatically. The melancholy in his eyes did not escape me as I observed him. I know that even if he spoke it firmly and confidently, it would still pain him deeply.
"Why? Do you think someone close to me is betraying me?" I was baffled by his question; this isn't the time to tell him everything I know; I still need to read the book that Mrs. Clea in the North Pack sent me.
"I'm just... thinking about a situation; it's best if we prepare for what might happen," I explained. He nodded and hugged me even more tightly. My thoughts raced over the possibilities until I dozed out while embracing Alpha Greyson. I awoke with Alpha Greyson still beside me. I woke up early and Alpha Greyson was still fast asleep. I can't take my eyes off his gorgeous face. I can't help but admire him more and more.
I feel like I was born into this world to love an Alpha King Greyson Ruiz. I resist a chuckle as I watch his forehead furrow even though he's sleeping. What could he be dreaming about, and why is he frowning?
"You're so handsome, my Alpha King..." I said quietly to myself as I glanced at him. But I was taken aback when his lips twitched into a grin and I heard a faint chuckle. My cheeks burned as I realized he was awake and had most likely heard what I said!
"You're awake!" I exclaimed, panicked. He chuckled and filled the gap between us by wrapping his arms around my small waist. My heart nearly burst when his eyes opened and locked on mine.
"You're so beautiful, my Luna..." he remarked as he opened his eyes. He definitely heard it! Damn!
"I-I'm gonna prepare now," I couldn't look at him since I was embarrassed. Instead of releasing me, he tightened his grip even harder.
"Are you running away from me now?" he taunted. I made myself glance at him. It seemed as if his eyes were luring me into the depths of the ocean. How many years have I admired his eyes, which are as bright as the sky and as deep as the sea?
I was taken aback when he kissed my nose... Then there was my cheek... down to the side of my lips. My pulse was pumping, and the excitement was building. We both exchanged glances. My heart almost slipped out of my chest.
"I love you..." he muttered, making my lips curl into a smile.
"I love you, too..." I replied quietly. He smirked before sealing the moment with a lovely kiss. As our kisses became intense, he climbed on top of me. His hands moved quickly over my body, and each touch took me to the heart of joy and pleasure. He took off my nightgown and cupped my breasts while kissing my neck wetly. I moaned and pleaded for more till he rolled down his boxers and parted my legs wider.
"Let's be gentle now, or else our child might complain to us..." he chuckled seductively. I chuckled as well, but it didn't take long for my laugh to transform into a moan because of his swift thrust into my core.
