Chapter 55
ELEANOR
"Thank you,” he whispers, a satisfied look covering his handsome face.
I feel his cock twitch as he empties himself inside my mouth. I gulped down his cum, traveling my hand down his hips to his humongous shaft.
Looking up at him, I feel my heart thump wildly against my chest as I meet his penetrating gaze. His cerulean blue eyes glistened under the fluorescent light as they met mine.
Suddenly, he trails a finger across my cheeks, causing sparks to spread throughout my skin as he so gently grazed his calloused hand on my face.
He pulls his cock out of me, grabbing a neat cloth on the bedside table before wiping himself clean. I lick my lips, aware of his piercing eyes watching me.
At first, I was scared. But I was even more scared to leave without having a bit of memory of him when I'm finally alone in the woods or in some human apartment. I wanted something to look back on if ever I make it out of this world alive. At least, I wouldn't be so lonely because I gave him a piece of me no one else would ever have, just as he gave me a piece of his.
Suddenly, he wraps his arms around my waist, lifting me up onto his lap.
The sparks and tingles work its way into me yet again, tossing my hands around his neck as I relish in this memory I'm I would never forget. Not in a million years.
Before I settle comfortably on his lap, I kick my pants and underwear to the floor. Taking off my shirt, I toss it away along with the pile of clothes strewn on the tiled floor.
After a time, Alexander suddenly decides to pull his shirt off of him too, throwing it without looking at any direction as he sent his shirt flying across the room.
He flashes me a grin, snaking his hand up my back before smoothing it down my curved ass.
"Do you forgive me?" He asks, giving me a pleading look that makes my heart race a million times faster. He had this look of sadness and guilt evident in his piercing blue eyes.
It was only then that I realized exactly what he was doing.
Ares giggled whilst I sighed to myself.
Seriously? Is he really giving me that puppy-look now like a kid does when his mother doesn't get him his favorite toy?
A smile crept to my face, lifting both my hands to cup his soft cheeks.
He slides his hand up my back, making me shudder.
"How could I not?" I whisper softly into his ear.
I gasped when he suddenly buried his head in my neck. My hands were left frozen in the air for a time, but as I got to my senses, I heave out a sigh of relief and began to caress his platinum hair.
'l just hope you would forgive me for what I'm about to do' I wish I could say those words out loud, but knowing I couldn't I just purse my lips and plant soft kisses on his neck.
The room was dim, but with my enhanced senses I coukd use my wolf's eyes to see in the pitch black. Alex and I had cuddled up on the bed, his arm draped over my waist and his hand alone weighed like heavy tons. Before he went to sleep, he had caged me in his brawny arms, as though he was subconsciously aware that I was going to leave.
A sad smile formed on my lips, trying to shrug off the feeling that I'm going to regret this decision of mine. But if I don't leave, I would only cause him and his pack misfortunes day after day. That's not even the worst part. My curse says I'd kill my mate one day, so either way, I'm still going to regret it. The only best option here is for me to completely disappear.
Maybe the moon goddess would eventually give him a second chance mate, and she would be much more beautiful and deserving than me. She would give him all the things he could ever want, and after that he may not look for me anymore.
Don't get me wrong.
I love Alex. And I will always love him no matter what happens. It's just that..
Rather than being with someone who is bound to kill him one day, don't you think he's better off with someone blessed than me? He wouldn't have to know about my curse, as long as I stay as far away from him as I could. Most importantly, he won't die in the hands of his own mate.
Sighing, I open my eyes and snap myself back into my cruel reality.
With my back turned on him, I could feel his warm breath pressing against my bare shoulders. I waited until I was sure he was fast asleep to try lifting his hand off my waist.
Biting the inside of my cheek, I carefully picked up his hand until he suddenly made a grumbling noise. I froze whilst every single hair on my body stood to their ends
Turning my head slowly, I travel my gaze over to his face, letting out a sigh of relief seeing that he was still deep in sleep.
Carefully lifting up his hand, I drop one foot to the cold floor then place it on the empty space by his side. I shiver but I continue to move as quietly as I can.
My heart won't stop jumping inside my chest as I try not to make the slightest sound, not even if it was a pin dropping to the tiled floor. I heard rumors back in my pack that the Alpha of Red Silverwood pack is unbeatable when it comes to being alert. They said he had the strongest senses and widest range of skills he'd developed in his training years. Back then, I had shrugged and didn't bother to hear anything more about him, until now.
Being the pack’s unofficial slave turns out to be useful after all.
Within minutes, I was out of his tight embrace, his soothing warmth, his strong, bulky arms that promised me security and protection. Ironic, isn't it? What he didn't know was that, he is the one truly in danger. And it's all because of me.
Looking down at my godlike mate sleeping before me, I couldn't help but stare at his impeccably handsome face. His long dark lashes were downcast, formidable and heavily knotted whilst his nose was tall and straight, rather aristocratic to the eye. His lips were remarkably soft and pliable, that I couldn't seem to tear my gaze off them.
Shaking my head, I turn my back to him and darted my eyes to the floor. Sweeping my eyes across the floor, I scoop up my clothes and rubber shoes, hugging them close to my chest. I trotted towards the bathroom, closing the door stealthily before hopping inside.
I changed back to my clothes, all dry except for my still damp underwear. I tossed it to the trash can near me. The smell of my own arousal lingered in its fabric, invading my nose. It reminded me of Alexander's hands rubbing small pleasurable circles on my slick folds. My cheeks burn at the reminder and I feel myself missing his soothing touch, even if I have yet to leave his premises at the moment.
The mate bond is certainly no joke. It makes you feel the strong urge to be with your destined mate. A pull that tugs at your heartstrings as you gaze up into his eyes, piercing into your soul. The thing is, once you are marked, you could never take it upon yourself to leave his side, nor resist your own desires to possess one another.
I wouldn't let that happen to us no matter what it takes. Even if it breaks my heart and shatters my soul, knowing it is the only way I could keep him and everyone else safe.
Sighing, I twist the door knob before prying it slightly open. Peering through the small gap, I squint my eyes to check on my greek god of a mate.
He was still sleeping. The steady rise and fall of his chest let me knows he was.
But one could never be too prepared.
I feel my heart race a mile a minute as I scanned the room carefully for traps, things I might kick scattered on the way.
Stepping out the bathroom door, I tiptoe to the closet, bringing out a medium sized bag before rummaging for clothes I would need.
If 1 end up in the forest, I need at least a blanket and a set of clean clothes I could change to. Same thing if I end up in some human town, although there might be some clothing shops where I could find my own decent clothes there, it would only be a waste of money.
I grabbed some clothes, some toiletries, as well as some pocket money I need for the road. My eyes kept glancing at Alexander sleeping on my bed. Suddenly, he groans, making my legs and body freeze as I slowly turn my head to look at him.
To my relief, he was still asleep.
Squinting my eyes to look at him closely, I notice him furrowing his brows. His jaw clenched tightly as if he could feel my fear and panic seeping into the air.
"Don't... leave..."
