Chapter 75: An obssessed alpha’s declaration
Knox woke up from a tight embrace and a warm feeling hitting his face. His long straight eyelashes fluttered as he slowly opened his eyes. He groaned after getting blinded by the sunlight cast upon his face.
The door to the balcony was closed, but the curtains weren’t fully laid, so the morning sun shone at them freely, waking him up. He pulled his arm up and covered his eyes with his elbow, then he turned to his side where Azrael’s sleeping handsome face was displayed inches away from him.
He frowned. Staring at the alpha’s peaceful countenance, Knox wondered that the world would have been a better place for him and Azrael’s acquaintances if only his eyebrows won’t met and his sharp eyes had stopped throwing daggers every time he was upset.
"You look innocent like a cherub if you’re asleep," Knox whispered.
He groggily sat up, rubbed his eyes, and looked down at the firm and muscled arm that shackled him to the bed. Forcefully, he yanked away the arm and fumbled with his indoor slippers. He couldn’t find them so, he walked barefoot to the restroom instead.
Knox washed his face. He even shuddered from the cold water running but realized it was the best way to wake him up completely. He had to face many things soon, so he better prepare early.
Going back to the room, he saw the tray of untouched food on the small table in the corner and felt bad for letting it sit and spoil after Athan made an effort to deliver him a meal. Walking to the other side of the bed where his luggage was, he noticed the indoor slippers on Azrael’s side.
Knox wondered how his slippers got in his side. He shrugged his shoulders to forget it and just wore the slippers, however, he hadn’t even worn the right piece when those large arms wrapped his thighs and squeezed them together, before pulling him backward to bed.
"Ack!"
"Where are you going?" Azrael asked with his low and husky voice. His tone sounded drowsy so Knox wriggled his legs to free himself while grabbing Azrael’s arms and ripping them apart each other. He thought it would be easier to pull him away since Azrael was still half asleep.
But his strength was like a child compared to an alpha, so he raised his arm and thoughtlessly elbowed him to where it hurt instead.
