Betrayed

3rd POV

Annabelle closed her eyes, expecting his soft lips on hers, but a knock on the door interrupted them.

“Alpha… may I come in with the food?” She heard Omega May’s voice from outside, making her awkwardly push Alpha Derek off her body.

As she sat up, she gulped, and he gulped as well.

Awkwardly, Alpha Derek also adjusted himself and sat up on the bed.

“Come in,” he commanded. Just as he gave the command, the door to the room opened, and in came Omega May with a food trolley.

“Here is the delicious food that was requested by his majesty.” Omega May bowed slightly as she presented the food tray to Alpha Derek.

“Thanks, May. You may go.” He dismissed her, but before she left, Omega May threw a discreet wink to her lady.

If only she had the opportunity to contact her lady through the mindlink, she would have done so. But since her lady wasn’t yet initiated into the pack, she had no way to contact her through the mindlink to tease her. She concluded in her mind that she would tease her when she was finally back in her room.

“I’m sorry for taking advantage of you…” Alpha Derek apologized, shaking his head in frustration, his eyes too ashamed to meet Annabelle’s. “I shouldn’t let my emotions take control of my senses. I know you still need time to adjust to things like this, especially after the terrible things that happened to you back at the Red Moon pack…”

Annabelle was so tempted to tell him that she was finally ready. She was already over Dylan and was ready to be intimate with him. She was tempted to also tell him that she was over the near-rape experience and that she felt pleased to give her body to someone who she was sure would cherish it.

Though she was tempted to spill it all out, all she could do was let out a small smile as she awkwardly adjusted herself on the bed.

She pulled the food trolley to herself and opened a plate. The sweet aroma of the fried rice wafted through the air, making a soft moan escape her lips.

That was one of her favorite meals, and she was quite surprised that they knew it.

She opened another plate, and another sweet aroma of grilled chicken filled the air.

“This is…” She moaned again, unaware of what her little moan was doing to him.

Alpha Derek gulped, feeling uncomfortable. When it became too much for him, he stood up from the bed.

“Where are you going?”

“To the bathroom. I need to take a shower,” he told her as he began undressing right in front of her.

Her throat hitched when she saw that he was removing his shirt, and her eyes widened in awe when she saw his beautiful six-pack abs that had been hiding beneath the shirt.

She swallowed her saliva and decided to focus on the meal before her and not on the other “meal” standing. As she forced herself to eat her best meal, she tried her best not to focus on his undressing and was glad that he didn’t fully strip everything off his body before entering

the bathroom. She was glad he had the decency to at least leave his briefs on, even though she could clearly see the shape of his…

She coughed as she realized she was eating the spoon and not the food itself. She had been so distracted by Alpha Derek’s angelic body that she couldn’t differentiate between her food and her spoon any longer.

She decided to rush her food so that she could escape his room before he returned from the bathroom, almost naked. She was trying so hard to protect herself from Alpha Derek’s charm.

Just as she was done with her food and was about to escape the room, the bathroom door opened, and Alpha Derek came out with just a towel wrapped around his waist.

She drooled upon seeing his naked chest with water dripping on it, and not just that, her eyes couldn’t seem to stop themselves from traveling down to his waist, where the towel was hanging dangerously low.

She swallowed once, twice, and thrice. When he took a step closer to her, she moved a step backward, and backward until she stumbled and fell on the bed.

Alpha Derek smirked dangerously and then chuckled as he made his way to his closet. He was glad that she was affected by the sight of his body and that he wasn’t the only one affected. As he picked out his clothes, he couldn’t help but chuckle to himself at the expression plastered on her face when he came out of the bathroom.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

By the time he was done dressing, he came out of his closet but didn’t see her in his room anymore.

Again, she had escaped.

Normally, he would have been pissed off at her disobeying his orders, but to his surprise, he wasn’t at all angry. He would give her some space; perhaps she also went to take a cold bath.

He dragged the food trolley to his side and took a spoonful of each dish that was presented on the food trolley. When he had eaten to his satisfaction, he lay on his bed and informed his guard to alert a servant to come carry the food trolley from his room.

As he lay there, a smile grew on his face as he thought about Annabelle. How she had been shy yet so free with him. How she had felt in his arms and how embarrassed she had been upon seeing his almost naked body.

He was already falling in love with her again and again. It seemed Annabelle had poisoned him with love. Her smile, her cute face— everything about her was beautiful.

“She didn’t change…” he said softly to himself.
