Contracted to the Wrong Alpha
Chapter 25
****
Lilia’s Pov
Jax’s stare was intense and it wasn’t different for Lex too, which I found weird. These two were acting as if they had known each other for years and the burning hatred that flowed through them was something that they might have left in a war and they just decided to pick it up this night to finish it.
I could feel the heat but I was beginning to get scared for Jax. He shouldn’t say a word to Lex, his father had warned him, and trust me when I say Lex is powerful and resourceful. Pissing him off might even be creating another trouble for me but it’s as if the deed was already done with Jax’s words.
“Don’t claim what you don’t have Lex, She’s not your Luna…yet.” He said and Lex chuckled, a low deep bass amusement that erupted from his mouth and he smirked at Jax.
“Really? Enlighten me?”
“I don’t need to enlighten something that’s already in the light. She’s not your Luna, you both didn’t get married and the crowning part is just about to happen in which she has every right to choose or reject you. She’s not your mate or your betrothed! So Quit the harsh Alpha Role on the innocent girl.”
Jax said with spite and I felt Lex stiffen, his grip on my waist became tighter and the heat emanating from his body was too hot. His face held a subtle gaze of uncertainty as he stared everywhere without saying a word to Jax who used the opportunity to continue.
“You don’t have to be uncertain Lex, I’ll pay in double whatever it is that she owes you. I don’t know what Lil had gotten herself Into but don’t worry I’ll clear the debt..” His gaze shifted from him to me and I swallowed, wondering what he was up to.
He’s doing a good job of pissing Lex off, what does he want to say to me this time?
“Do you want to marry him, Lil?” He asked, shocking me and Lex scoffed.
“I’ll take it that you’re drunk Alpha Jax, go home and don’t poke your nose in the affairs of my Pack or Luna!” Lex replied and snuggled me closer to leave but Jax wasn’t having it.
“You need to let her voice out. An Alpha would always respect the decisions of his people and would never force himself on a lady. Is this what you’re doing? Are you trying to rape her?”
I gasped in shock and covered my mouth as Lex’s sharp eyes stared intently at him but Jax didn’t waver, in fact; he was really up for the challenge.
“Then let her speak for herself, I bet the others would want to know too. Tell them, Lil, do you want to marry him?” He asked me and it was just in time I just discovered that the majority of the crowd present were now listening to our conversation. It was pretty obvious because their Alpha was there, gracing the event.
They were also eager to know if I wanted to marry Lex as their curious gaze held me, making me feel entrapped and Jax raised his brow.
I swallowed, I could say the truth and Jax might help me out. He will take me away from this place and I’ll land in New York safely.
Or I tell the truth and have Felix kill me, watch my life get destroyed as Lex had promised, and watch my Dad being stripped of his position. I could be named and tagged as the slut of the year with my viral sex tape while Felix goes scot free and slowly, my life would dwindle before me.
Two clients already terminated my proposal as a result of this scandal, so how on earth am I supposed to be fine?
I’m under his mercy and there’s no going back.
“Say something Lil and be free, you know I got you,” Jax says encouragingly and I open my mouth to say something.
“DON’T!!”
It was sharp, domineering, and commanding.
His voice in the mind link was wrapped with fear if, I’m not mistaken, uncertainty.
I ignored why he would even tell me to do things when he didn’t care about mine.
“I really”
“DON’T SAY SHIT!”
He warned again and I felt chills run down my spine.
I had to look at him to comprehend his tone in my head.
Was that fear, uncertainty, and plea in his voice?
His gaze was fixed on Jax with a hard and cold demeanor making me confused but I would still open my mouth to say something.
Not that I have a choice, he wins. He wields power over me and I’ll endure till the end of six months.
I look at Jax with a decision in my heart and open my mouth again but this time around, it was closed with his lips.
My heart was knocked out from my Ribcage and my head dislocated from my windpipe at whatever the fuck Lex was doing to me.
His lips were buried in mine, kissing me in front of Jax and the crowd shrieked in admiration.
No, it wasn’t that.
That’s not the fucking problem!!
My legs are wobbly, I just realized how good he smells, I just tasted how minty his tongue tasted and the heat rushing down to pool an indescribable feeling.
I didn’t kiss him back, God! I wanted him to stop but Lex only pulled me closer to him to deepen the kiss, taking advantage of my shocked state.
Who the hell is this Alpha?
Doesn’t he has a pride for him not to fucking kiss me in public like this, wait! He’s not stopping. His breath became ragged, his kisses were laced with need as if he had been starving to have his lips on mine and the thought alone made my core twitch in excitement.
Fucking prick.
“Let Go of Me!!” I growled at him through the Mindlink.
“You won’t say shit to these people flower, we fucking made a deal and I don’t care whether you want this or not!” He retorted back harshly and I felt my anger grow, I bent my head to the side stylishly to make him stop and he did while the people gave a round of applause as if they were being entertained with a show.
“I won’t!! Control me as always and watch me die. I’ll be done in six months with your asshole!” I told him and he didn’t react but turned to Jax whose face was red with anger.
“She’s getting married to me, she doesn’t need to say shit. Like I said earlier, we have a dance to attend. See you at the Ball.”
He said dismissively, not giving him time to add his own, and dragged me from his presence.
My eyes did a 360-degree turn around the room and my eyes landed on Felix again and finally, Tessy.
She must have been conscious to join the Blue Moon Ball and our eyes clicked hotly. I was nervous about Felix, his eyes passed so many emotions. Hatred, warning, anger, and danger.
I wasn’t safe here, I know and only the goddess knows what I’ll face once I leave this pack.
“You’re stepping on me.” He hissed while he used the other hand to retrieve his ringing phone.
“I never asked for you to hold me and don’t ever touch me again! You have no right!”
I seethed at him too and he nodded.
“I’m your husband Lilia and that was just a stunt act, don’t worry it’s just a silly act that would never happen. Not with you.”
He said and I felt a sting at his words but quickly pushed it back aside to assure myself that I didn’t want anything to do with him too. He’s selfish, wicked, cocky, and a murderer in disguise. How I got myself entangled in this family remains a mystery to me.
I wondered what Jax had wanted to tell me about his father, he was so close before this nincompoop stopped me.
“Yeah Raven,” He said over the phone, our bodies were swaying slowly to the background music that sounded like Blues, slow and sensual for every step. Or was It Jazz? I don’t know because I’m a K-pop fan, literally obsessed that I’ve forgotten other categories of Music but I love the space, the people in it, and how happily they danced in a Rhythm. I wanted to move like them too but I didn’t know how and not with this devil in front of me.
“No, tonight. Book a flight.” He said and my body tensed up.
” Arrange a jet or something. I’m not spending a night here, we leave after the crowning and acceptance. Yes! Tonight.” He spat out with disgust and I don’t know if I should be relieved or not.
My days here were hell but what about when we reached the city?
“Listen to me , flower, this dance is compulsory and stop making people stare at me weirdly. It’s called Waltz.” He began and I became interested and watched him explain.
“But I might trip with such style,” I commented after listening to his illustrations.
“No, when you take your feet to the back, I take mine to the front and your feet to the front and mine to be back. My hands on your waist and yours on my shoulders.” He said, explaining every detail as a pro and I felt excited to try.
“Now, let’s try.”
He said and I danced perfectly, he twirled me over and what was supposed to be a normal dance turned into a heated one.
