CHAPTER 38: 38

NYLAH

Turning to the source of the voices, I confirmed it was as I feared. I was being attacked.

I stood to my feet with a straight face. Even though I had no idea how to face six pissed she-wolves, I thought to put up a confident expression.

"So we were right about you all the while, you’re just a filthy slut who pokes her butt into someone else’s life and tries to scatter every good thing." The lady I remember as Lily spoke up with a frown.

"If you think you’d walk into this pack and take what belongs to another, then you must be sick." Another who I wasn’t sure I’d seen spoke up even more furious than Lily looked.

"Let’s teach this bitch a lesson, she needs to learn that the Alpha is out of reach." Another female, even more feisty than the others pointed at me with disdain and even made the first move towards me.

I wanted to say something, tell them that it wasn’t true and I hadn’t seduced their Almighty Alpha but I couldn’t say a word, it felt like the night of the bonfire all over again. Where I just stood there, bullied and hurt but couldn’t even do a thing to save my dignity.

They closed the distance, each one with scorn on their faces, I moved back a few steps but there was not much space in the rocky area, any wrong step, I could break a bone.

My heart thumped and my stomach churned, I felt the delicious meal I had some minutes ago rise to my throat.

I was going to puke, or worse, faint before they even got to deal with me, it would be an even greater shame.

So I swallowed hard and tried to steady my feet. But then I heard a hoarse voice call from behind.

"If I see anything as little as a scratch on her, I’ll make you all pay, with your blood." I saw the girls shiver from his threat.

I would too if I was threatened by the Alpha.

"Are you hurt in any way?" He asked, this time referring to me.

"Uh, no, I... I’m fine." I replied regretting my response immediately.

I could’ve let Xavier teach them a lesson never to approach weak females new to the pack.

"Apologize to her." He added his gaze on me the whole time.

"We’re sorry Nylah, please forgive us." They chorused in one breath with bowed heads.

Hell I didn’t even know what to say to them so I just stood there until the last of them scurried out of the place.

"I’m sorry for the inconvenience." Alpha Xavier closed the distance.

"Sure you’re not hurt? Cos even if it’s a strand of hair their confrontation cost you, I’ll make them pay." He added but I shook my head.

"That’s no way to lead your people."

"If anyone hurts you, I’ll make sure I end their lives in a miserable way, my people or not." He quipped, making a lump grow in my throat.

"I’m tired, I want to go inside." He nodded as I walked past him and made my way back to my room.

Xavier spoke up for me, it felt surreal. What changed? I wondered.

He ignored me at the bonfire night but now he was speaking up for me. There was something about his arrogance and viciousness that turned me on.

It took another cursing and fighting to force myself to sleep.

***

"Alpha Xavier’s waiting for you at the training field." The maid who woke me up announced.

I must’ve overslept again, but if the hours I spent last night fantasizing about Xavier should be calculated, then I didn’t oversleep, I slept late and woke up late as a result.

"How long have you been waiting?" I asked when I saw Xavier training by himself on the field.

"Not long enough. How are you feeling?" He asked

"I’m a lot better. So, what’s on the menu?" I prodded.

"Today, I’m going to help you overcome your fear of swords." Knots tied in my stomach at the mention of the very thing I feared the most.

"Don’t worry, we’re going to take it slow. We’ll start with pictures of it, then we’ll start at it from afar before we move on to touch it and use it as we progress." He explained the process but my mind was already out of sync and in sync with the way his lips moved as he spoke.

The way his perfume filled my nose, the way his eyes grazed through my body like it was looking for that spot to latch on to.

"Look at this picture," he cut me off my thoughts, I turned my head to the screen he displayed before me.

"I’d recommend you look at the surroundings more than the sword in the center." It was an image of a sword hanging on a tree branch, around it was a beautiful variety of plush green trees, some of them had flowers and some had their fruits forming on them.

"It’s... Beautiful." I remarked, looking at a particular tree with pink flowers and little green fruits.

"I know, this was once our most used tree cause of its plenty of benefits. From the roots to its flowers all have properties for healing." For the first time since my meeting with Xavier, I saw warmth in his eyes.

"What happened?" I asked, noting that I hadn’t seen such a tree around the pack.

"After the first war with the vampires, they just dried out, it was presumed that the vampire’s blood poisoned the land and ripped it off its magic." Talking about war, I remembered the story Sofia told me, how her parents died in the war and no one cared about plants any longer.

"Kiss me." It came out with urgency.

Xavier’s brows knotted as he looked at me. It was as though he didn’t hear me the first time, so I repeated louder.

"Kiss me, Xavier."

"You don’t know what you’re asking from me, darling." He replied, half smiling, but I couldn’t reciprocate the smile.

My pussy breathed and yearned for him. I hadn’t had sex since our last encounter which was now months ago.

"I know what I want, I want you to kiss me. Unless you don’t want to." I replied, with a serious, hopeful expression.

"Does this feel like I don’t want to?" He took my hand and guided it to his core, where his length, erect was poking his trouser.

I wrapped my hands around it, not wanting to let go of his big dick.

"Do you want me to take you, darling? Defile you, pound you till you see the stars and make you my little slut?" He asked as he raised my head with his finger under my jaw.

I felt my heart thump hearing the things he wanted to do to me.

"Y-- yes, I do," I replied, my cheeks were the color of a cherry.

"When I say take you, I mean you’re mine alone, if I see you with any male, werewolf or not, I’ll kill him on sight and tie you to the bed and fuck you day and night until you can’t remember anything." He said, all humor gone from his face.

"I understand." I gritted my teeth to keep myself steady, my nipples were rock hard and my clitoris throbbed.

"And you must know, I’m not gentle, I will fuck you hard, choke you and call you a hoe." He warned. "Do you still want this?"

"Yes, I do." I was done acting like I didn’t want to be touched and fucked by him. At this point, I might still be a virgin, my pussy must’ve closed up from the months of deprived sex.

"Good then, follow me." He ordered as he walked ahead of me.

I followed him like a sacrificial lamb going for slaughter.
