Chapter 135: The World Could Burn
Astra’s eyes widened slightly, a mix of fear and fascination sparkling within them.
She leaned back slowly, as if preparing for the inevitable strike, her voice barely above whisper. "Yet... I’m still breathing. And you’re still sitting beside me."
She’d always romanced death. Perhaps, that’s why she was still alive. Some said she was too lucky. Others said she had the moon goddess’s special grace. But whatever it was, she believed that her time to die wasn’t here yet.
She still needed to kill her mate and everyone in her pack who called her names and shamed her for something she couldn’t control.
His gaze intensified, his piercing blue eyes burning with something untold. "Most try to flee or kill me after witnessing... my excesses. You seem to be considering inviting me to stay... in your life, Astra."
Astra’s heart raced faster. She felt drawn to the darkness emanating from him. She knew he was a walking red sea, not just a red flag, yet, she liked this monster.
Scratch that, she loved this monster, but wished he could be more gentle, as her body was riddled with blood, sweat, tears, and scratches.
"I want you to stay." She reached out to touch his face, but a glare from him made her hesitate. Astra’s hand froze mid-air, her eyes locked on his glare for a split second before she lowered her gaze.
She was too scared to hold his gaze. Her hand dropped to the side, yet continued to say, "I want to stand by your side. Kill your enemies with you. Be whatever you want me to be."
The air around them charged with tension as he spoke low and menacingly, "You’re not qualified to stand by my side." He continued heartlessly. "However, you’ll get your revenge and the power you seek. But as my Gamma and my sex slave."
With that, he rose from the bed, walking across the room.
