Alexa’s Point Of View
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked Cyan, who has been staring at me since Akira left.
I frowned. “You want me to go?”
He barked delightfully and I laughed. “You don’t even understand what’s going on.” He’s most likely just reacting to the sound of my voice.
“I’m not going,” I said and he howled sadly.
“Do you really understand me?”
Nah, it’s impossible. A normal wolf wouldn’t be able to… wait! I carried him to face me. “Are you a werewolf?” I asked and he just barked. Oh shit! If he’s really a werewolf then he should be shifting into his human body in a few days. I looked into his eyes but found no sign that he was a werewolf.
“If you’re not a werewolf, how do you understand me?”
He wiggled out of my grip and landed on the floor. I watched as he got on the bed and began chewing on the blanket.
“Stop that.” I cautioned but he paid me no attention. Just as I was about to go to him, I heard the door open. I turned to the entrance, expecting to see Akira but I saw the least expected person. His mother. What was she doing here?
“Mind if I come in?”
“You’re already in,” I said and she chuckled. I’ve never had a conversation with her since I arrived here. She’s never around or maybe she has been avoiding me?
“Alexa… right?”
I nodded. “Yeah,” I replied as I sat on the bed.
“We’ve never talked since you arrived. She said as she sat beside me. “I’m Felicia, Akira’s mum.”
I nodded. “I know. Nice to meet you,”
She smiled. “You’re even more beautiful up close. No wonder Akira is crazy over you.”
“You’re here to convince me to show up at dinner?”
She scoffed out a laugh. “Me? Convince you? Nah, that’ll just drain my energy. That choice is yours to make.”
What is this? Is she playing with me?
“I heard Akira brought you from Raven Pack,”
“More like bundled me here against my will.”
“I see. So you don’t want to stay here? It’s not warm enough for you?”
“Well… your pack isn’t bad. It’s better than my old pack at least.”
“But…?”
“But my place is not here. At least not now. I still have things to do and things to find.”
“By things you mean…?”
I pursed my lips hesitantly and she chuckled.
“It’s personal. I understand. I know you’re eager to go on your quest but for the little amount of time you’d be here, how about you just open up to Akira?”
“That would be hard,”
“Why? Because you hate him?”
“N.. not really,”
“Because he’s a half-vampire? Or because you’d rather die than admit you want him in your life?”
I opened my mouth to talk but I couldn’t form words. I closed back my mouth and she chuckled. “you’re cute,” she said as she stood up.
“Listen, child. I know how it feels deeply regret what you should have done a long time ago.” She said, her voice laced with bitterness. “My story is similar to yours, you know? My stupid pride prevented me from admitting the fact that I couldn’t live without him and then I ended up losing him.” Her voice was breaking, “In the worst possible way. By the time I made up my mind to tell him how I felt, it was too late. I live every day in regret, wishing I could turn back time.”
She had her back facing me but her shaking shoulders were enough to tell me she was sobbing. “I don’t want you two to go through the same fate as I did so please… do what you must,”
I looked down at my fingers as I pondered deeply on her story. Will I end up regretting this? I looked back up and asked, “what happened to him? Did he marry another person?” I asked her and she shook her head.
“He…” She swallowed. “He died.” She replied, almost breaking down in tears.
Died?
What would I do if Akira died?
My heart skipped a beat at the thought. What is this? Fear? I’m scared of losing him.
“I’m gonna go now,” she said before walking to the door. She flashed me a smile before leaving. I looked down at Cyan who was staring at me with worried eyes.
“I’m fine, Cyan,” I assured him and patted his head. I glanced at the clock and realized it was 8 p. m. He’ll still be there, right? I looked at my body and groaned. I don’t even have anything to wear.
Just then, a knock came at the door. I went ahead to open it and Riaz poked his head in.
“I heard a princess is going on a date,” he grinned, waving a beautiful peach gown in the air.
“I’m here to doll you up,” he said as he came in fully with three maids trailing behind him.
“The dress is beautiful,” I said and he grinned.
“Alpha picked it himself. No doubt it’ll fit you,”

I thought things would go smoothly but they didn’t. Instead, it went crazy. Cyan suddenly started to throw tantrums. He howled and jumped everywhere, destroying everything. It was as if he went savage. In the process, he tore the cloth Akira got me.
“Oh my… what are we gonna do?” I panicked as I paced to and fro. I turned to the mirror. I’m not even halfway done. I turned to the clock and saw that it was almost 10 p. m. He’s not still waiting, is he?
“I’ll just go like this,” I said as I rushed to pack my hair anyhow.
“But we can just…”
Riaz tried saying but I was already out. I rushed down the stairs and rushed to the garden.
I was breathing heavily by the time I got there. He was getting up from his seat. I looked around. The candles were off. He must have waited for long. I felt so bad. So bad that my eyes started to water.
“I’m so sorry!” I yelled as I came to stand in front of him.
“I… I was going to come early. B.. but I… my dress got messed up and… and my hair got caught in candle wax and I…” I sniffled. I couldn’t form more words as my tears were threatening to fall.
“I didn’t mean to be late. The preparations got so messed up. Cyan went crazy and see! I didn’t even get to pack my hair well and…”
“It’s perfect,” he cut in, making me stop my words.
“Huh?” I asked as I felt a tear roll down my cheeks.
“Your hair,” he said, taking a step closer. “It’s perfect. You’re perfect,”
“But I didn’t even get to wear the dress you got me and…”
Faster than I could blink, he pulled me closer and placed his lips on mine. My stomach knotted as butterflies bloomed in my stomach. My eyes were wide open in shock as I didn’t expect it.
He withdrew his lips from mine and looked into my eyes. His silver eyes glimmered with adoration as they gazed lovingly into mine.
“Don’t stain your beautiful face with tears,” he said as he wiped my tears away with his thumb. I bit my lower lip as more tears threatened to fall.
“I don’t care if you showed up dressed in sweatpants. I don’t care so far you showed up.” He said smilingly as he twirled his thumb on my cheek.
“But… I should have at least… dressed my hair well and..”
He shut me up with a quick kiss. “There’s no one as perfect as you are, Alexa. You’re beautiful no matter how you are,”
My lips stretched into an uncontrollable smile and he chuckled in return.
“Do not think less of yourself ever again,” he said, gazing into my eyes. “You’re worth more than you think,” his words made my heart skip a beat. Standing on my toes, I pulled him closer by his collar and placed my lips on his.
Time stopped in a collision of senses when my lips met his. My knees weakened as he reciprocated and took over the kiss dominantly. A gasp left my lips when his grip on my waist tightened, allowing him to sneak his tongue into my mouth.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. He picked me up and placed me on the dinner table, not breaking the kiss. My heartbeat increased by ten folds it became passionate. My insides got hotter as he devoured my lips hungrily.
It was getting harder to breathe by the minute. I had to break the kiss. Our breaths mixed as we gasped for air.
“Alexa,” his voice was deep and laced with dominance. If I were standing, I would get on my knees at the sound of his voice.
“Akira,” I called demandingly. I wanted him. My soul wanted him.
“Yes?” He whispered against my lips.
“Akira I… I want…”
“Hm? I can’t hear you?” He whispered sensually as he bit my earlobe. I let out a moan as his teeth brushed my collarbone.
“I… I want..”
“You want..?” He drawled, his hand making its way to the strap of my dress.
“I want you,” I breathed out.
“You want me?”
I nodded vigorously, pushing my body towards his. He smirked and pushed the contents of the table to the ground.
I let out a gasp as he pushed me to lie on the table. He got on top of me and claimed my lips heatedly. I reciprocated with the same passion, tugging his hair as our tongues fought for dominance. With just one pull, he tore the upper part of my dress, revealing my two breasts.
Shots of sensation shot up my back as he stared at me hungrily. I moaned softly as his warm lips engulfed my left boob. He fondled the right with his hand as he rendered justice to the other with his tongue.
My waist shot up subconsciously as he began to kiss me down. I squirmed as his lips met my waistline.
He locked eyes with me as he pulled down my gown. I squirmed when he rubbed my clit through my panties.
“A… Akira..” I gasped as he pulled down my panties.
Won’t we be seen here?
“We can’t be seen,” he replied as if he could hear my thoughts. “Just keep your voice down,” as he said that, he bent and kissed my clit.
“Ah,” I moaned as he took my clitoris in his mouth.
“Fuck!” I cried in pleasure as he twirled my clit vigorously with his tongue.
“Mhm.. fuck! A.. Akira… shit!” He increased his pace and I arched my waist in pleasure. He pulled one of my legs up and intensified his tongue. I closed my eyes and threw my head back as Akira ate me to ecstasy.
Fuck! This is amazing.
I’ve never felt anything like this in my entire life.
I’ve always been hearing the other maids talking about this but this! This is heaven.
Just then, I felt something enter me. I opened my eyes and looked down. Akira’s finger was inside me.
“What are you…”
A shot of pleasure shut up my spine as he withdrew and plunged back his finger.
“Ah, ah ah.” I moaned at intervals as he increased the pace of his finger and ate my clit at the same time.
I felt a knot forming in the pit of my stomach.
“Fuck!” I screamed in pleasure as the sensation increased intensively. My body shook violently as I felt liquid spill from my pussy.
“You’re beautiful when you cum,” he said as he came over to kiss me.
“What was that?” I asked, breathing heavily and he smiled.
“You’ll experience more of this in the coming days, I promise you.”
“More of this?”
He nodded and kissed my forehead. “Even better than this,”
My heart danced in excitement.
More of this?
I cannot wait.
