Chapter 142: New contract
Aurora gasped, shocked to find him in her room and taking care of her at that. She thought he was disgusted by her, and never wanted to see her again. What was he doing here, taking care of her?
"I...it is okay. Thanks," pulling away, she said, feeling uncomfortable under his care. She didn’t deserve the nice treatment he was giving her, it only made her feel more guilty.
She wished for him to scold her, lash at her, lock her up, and hurt her like he always did. The sudden affection worried her because she was used to temporary love. Lucas had shown her how cruel the heart of man was, she didn’t want to experience that again.
"My Luna has to look presentable," putting the tray aside, he said, meeting her stunned gaze. Was this man nuts? She just rejected their bond, what was he yapping on about her being Luna? She thought her message was clear enough, that she didn’t want to be his mate or become his Luna.
"I have no idea what you mean, I will get to work now." Ignoring his remark, she said and got out of bed, ready to walk out of the room, before her emotions betrayed her.
Suddenly, she felt strong arms wrapped around her, a familiar minted scent filling her nose. Absent-mindedly, she sighed in relief, inhaling the scent that comforted her. He smelt so...fresh, she wished to hug him. No! Snap out of it, you have no right to fantasize about him.
"Alpha, this is inappropriate." She lectured, struggling to pry herself off him, but his grip was harsh and strong on her.
"I don’t want to let go, not when you are in my reach." He whispered, his breath fanning against her neck, that made her gasp for breath.
"We shouldn’t be doing this, why are you doing this to me?" She asked, tears brimming out of her eyes. He affected her so much and he knew it, so he was torturing her for it. She yearned for his touch, his love, but she knew a price came with it. A price that would leave her heartbroken like the past.
