The Alpha’s Slave

CHAPTER 8

SEBASTIAN’S POVText © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

When I saw her stumble into the room in that exquisite gown I had sent for her, my breath sucked itself in. She was even looking more beautiful than I expected.

The gown clung so perfectly to her body like it was specially made for her, revealing her jutting breasts, and those slender yet curvy hips that tapered perfectly to her supple thighs and long legs. I could have sworn she looked like a mermaid. An enchanting mermaid with legs.

I had kept that gown for Catherine to surprise her on our wedding anniversary which was a few months away. But damn!! After seeing it on this girl’s body, seeing the way it fitted her better than it would have on Catherine, seeing the way the shiny metal discs on the dress danced with joy on her body, I decided to leave it all for her.

She seemed reserved and nervous throughout the dinner but I found it rather amusing. We got talking. She wouldn’t reveal much but the little I learnt was her name which was Brianna. I loved the way it breathed out of my lips.

Cutting through the roasted meat on my plate, I dipped a morsel into my mouth and was biting on it when the maid returned. Quickly, I took the last bite, swallowed it and wiped my mouth clean with a serviette.

“Did you deliver the snacks to her?”

She straightened her posture and met my gaze with confidence. “Yes, my king. I made sure to deliver it to her as per your instructions.”

My lips curled to an imaginary proud smile as I leaned forward, my interest aroused. “And how was it received? Did she appreciate the gesture?”

Although it was obvious she accepted it since the maid didn’t return with the tray, I just needed to make sure she didn’t decline at first.

“She was overjoyed and very thankful, my lord,” a small smile appeared on the maid’s lips as she replied.

“Thank you for ensuring it reached her,” I appreciated. Knowing that she received it well filled me with a sense of contentment. “She has been through a lot. It is important that she feels welcomed here. No one should treat her otherwise.”

“It is my duty and privilege to serve you, my lord. I’ll do as you said and inform the other maids.” She dipped to a respectful curtsy before making her way back to the kitchen.

I nodded approvingly but noticed a slight change in her expression just after my last words but I didn’t give much thought to it.

Feeling satisfied, I arranged myself and made my way out. I finished everything on my plate but couldn’t do the same on Brianna’s just like I said I would. Remembering my exact words which I couldn’t fulfil made me huff out a smile.

On reaching my chamber, I gently pushed the door open. I expected Catherine to be asleep and didn’t want to wake her. She cannot see me dressed like I was returning from a formal dinner party. She’ll surely bombard me with questions which will in turn lead to another round of squabble.

The lights were off and like a ghost, I crept in only for it to automatically switch itself on. Startled, I turned to see Catherine standing by the switch. Fuck!! I was busted.

She was dressed in a very seductive red nightwear I haven’t seen her on before, looking like the female lead in an erotica I recently read.

Before I could utter a word, she threw herself at me and attacked my lips with powerful kisses that left me struggling to breathe.

***

Catherine and I have been married for almost three years. It was a marriage arranged by our parents.

She was the only daughter and child of her late parents and I too for my late parents. Our parents were so fond of each they kept matching us right from our teenage years.

I remember my father saying that marrying her will strengthen our respective kingdoms, unite us together and make me the Alpha king of the two kingdoms which will be joined as one after our marriage since her family had no male heir.

They convinced us that we were perfectly made for each other. That our match was made in heaven, packaged by the moon goddess but I felt our match was forced.

We were finally presented to each other at our mating ceremony and our parents couldn’t be any happier.

Back then, she wasn’t bad at all. She was radiant like a butterfly, like a blooming flower. Beautiful in her way with her delicate, supple features and sunken blue eyes. But all that seemed to have faded in my eyes the moment I saw…Brianna.

***

“Catherine, stop,” I tried to free myself from her kiss attack but she was wild, relentless.

She snaked her fingers tight around the back of my neck and pulled me closer into the depths of her mouth, suffocating me the more.

Her lips lingered in mine and I thought she’ll never break away. When they finally did, I was heaving heavily, trying to regain my lost breath. As though that wasn’t enough, she dug them into the base of my neck, sucking and devouring me like a vampire.

“Catherine…stop this madness,” I muttered but I wasn’t sure she heard me. She was drunk with so much wild desire I began to question if this was the same Catherine I knew.

She pushed me into the bed, the sheet rumpling beneath my fallen body. With her gaze intent on my confused face, she peeled off every piece of clothing she had on and her rawness bloomed.

A smirk escaped her lips, and then she pouted them, rubbing and caressing her body and her boobs which kept bouncing in excitement. She cupped them as she approached me as though to feed me with them, arouse me but the truth of the matter was that I wasn’t aroused at all.

With full force, she mounted me and balanced herself on my lower. She lowered to bombard me with another round of kisses but I kept turning my face side to side. “Catherine, stop this.”

But she ignored me and prisoned my face in the warmth of her palms. She tried planting another kiss when I finally yelled, “Catherine, I said stop!!”

Surely she must have heard that one. She sprung up, still sitting on my lower, and stared deep into my eyes. Like mist in the mid-day sun, the excitement on her face faded.

“This is serious,” her voice was low, unbelievable, and provoked. “You’ve never resisted me before. Is it because of that new girl? That slave?”
