As Alpha Kilian made his way back to his room, he unexpectedly bumped into Nelly. She noticed his sad expression and showed concern, asking him what was wrong.
Alpha Kilian replied with a curt “nothing” before angrily storming off. Nelly raised an eyebrow in curiosity, wondering why his mood had suddenly changed.
Feeling puzzled, Nelly followed after him and asked if he was angry. He flatly replied with a “no.” Nelly pondered for a moment before deciding to pretend to believe him and walked away without further questioning.
However, Alpha Kilian was taken aback by her response and suddenly reached out to grab her. Nelly turned around and saw his scowl, asking him what was wrong and if there was something else bothering him.
Just by looking at her, Alpha Kilian felt exasperation building up. He pulled her back and pinned her against the wall. Innocently, Nelly stared at him and asked what was bothering him.
“Is it really so difficult to calm me down when you know I’m angry?” he questioned, his deep voice somehow enchanting.
“In that case, shouldn’t you tell me what happened first?” Nelly replied teasingly, blinking at him.
As they exchanged gazes, Alpha Kilian felt his heart pounding. He had an urge to claim her as his own, so that no one else would desire her.
With a darkening gaze, Alpha Kilian leaned in, pressing his muscular body against her delicate figure. This sight caused his heart to race. “Nelly, I can’t wait any longer!”
Confused, Nelly hesitated, but before she could respond, Alpha Kilian kissed her passionately. When she tried to push him away in surprise, he grabbed her hands and pinned them above her head.
“Mmm…” she moaned.
He held onto her waist and lifted her up, bringing her body closer to his. As he savored the sweetness of her lips, his earlier frustration slowly faded away.
After a long while, he finally released her. Their foreheads touched as he looked at her with intense emotions in his eyes. Nelly clung to his chest, gasping for air.
“Nelly, can I?” he asked.
“I…” Nelly hesitated, giving him a hesitant look. “Now isn’t the right time…” She continued to gaze at him.
It took Alpha Kilian a moment to understand what she meant. Resignation flashed in his eyes filled with desire.
“I’m sorry,” Nelly apologized.
Left with no choice, he held her tightly in his arms. With his chin resting on top of her head, he gently nuzzled her as if he couldn’t wait to fully possess her.
All she did was find comfort in his embrace.
After a while, he finally spoke. “Nelly, don’t you have anything to say to me?” She shook her head.
No.
He frowned at her. “Don’t you want to know why I was angry?”
Curious, Nelly raised her gaze and rested her chin against his chest. After thinking for a moment, she nodded. “I do.”
“In that case, why didn’t you ask?” Alpha Kilian asked with a strange glint in his eyes.
“What’s bothering you then?” she inquired.
He stared at her, feeling frustrated by her response. If he didn’t know her well, he would think she was purposely trying to annoy him.
Taking a deep breath, he asserted, “Nelly, you must be doing this on purpose!” “What do you mean?” she countered.
He looked down. “You must be intentionally tormenting me!” Nelly narrowed her eyes. “What makes you think that?”
Looking into her eyes with his dark gaze, he suddenly asked a sincere question, “Nelly, is he the reason you won’t reconcile with me?”
Confusion filled Nelly’s mind. He? Who is he?
With a confused expression, she clarified, “And who is this ‘he’ you’re talking about?” “An anonymous person.”
In that moment, everything became clear to Nelly. “Nelly, do you have feelings for him?”
Of course I do! He’s really important to me.
But Nelly kept those words to herself, knowing they would reveal Tony’s identity.
Unfortunately, her silence was seen as an admission by Alpha Kilian. A wry smile appeared on his face. “I understand.”
Faced with his disappointment, she tried to comfort him by saying, “Alpha Kilian, the situation is a lot more complicated than you think.”
