Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

Many weeks later, Alyssa was in a mood of utmost excitement and elation. All she thought of was how free their life has been ever since each secret was made known. It made her realize that keeping secrets was only a deprivation to real happiness.

The respect she got from each of the workers and servants in the house surprised her. She couldn’t believe that she had been a maid in the palace a while ago.

“We are good to go!” Alyssa announced as she played with Tim’s cheeks.

He chuckled calmly, after which he turned to her, with a serious gaze on his face.

“Is he really ours now? Would he be my father forever?” Tim asked Alyssa as they walked out of the room and towards the gate where Liam would be meeting with them.

“Of course! What makes you think he won’t be ours forever?” Alyssa asked her little son, who shrugged lightly, obviously not having an answer to her question.

“I’m scared that he would leave us someday”, he said calmly, while Alyssa crouched low until she was the same height with him.

“Your mother is here, and your father is here too. We would both ensure that you are happy, okay?” She asked as she played with his cheeks again.

Tim nodded his head and smiled. Almost immediately, they caught sight of Liam, who was strolling towards them with massive smiles on his face.

“Daddy!” Tim called out and ran to catch up with him.

Liam caught him in his arms and swirled him around in excitement. They had some father and son conversation, after which Liam stroked his head lovingly and walked closer to Alyssa.

“And just like the sun, you shine so bright”, Liam complimented Alyssa, who blushed almost immediately.

He still had that effect in her. With every word that came off his lips, she felt a tingle in her stomach.

“Don’t flatter me this morning!” Alyssa rolled her eyes at him as they hugged each other warmly.

“I would never flatter my queen”, Liam said and placed a soft kiss to her lips.

The word, “queen”, sounded quite strange in Alyssa’s ears. She couldn’t place her hands on the exact reason, but she was certain that it was because she had been thinking of it lately.

Most nights, she thought of how sweet it would be to become Liam’s queen, sitting beside him and ruling the kingdom together with him.

But then, almost immediately, she gets distracted by thoughts of not achieving that. She was certain that Liam would never be truly hers. This was because she doubted that she would stand in as the kind of queen the kingdom wanted. She had tried to steal their most valued artifact, and she had almost killed herself.

“You are away in thoughts”, Liam noted as he clapped his hands directly to her face.

She rolled her eyes at him, but quickly replaced it with a smile.

“Let’s go!” Alyssa said happily as they got into the car that was parked beside them.

They had a date and this was the third in a roll, in that week.

The next day came quickly. Alyssa had promised Tim that she would be taking him to the town where he would meet with his new-found friend. Timothy has disturbed her continuously until she finally agreed to take him there. He was a sweet soul, and Alyssa wasn’t surprised when he picked up some of his biscuits with the intentions of giving them to his friend.

Liam, on the other hand, was in his chambers, staring into the mirror and feeling totally disorganized. He couldn’t decipher why it was so difficult to propose to Alyssa when he had known her for quite some time now.

A knock on his door startled him and immediately, he walked towards it. He opened the door and met the curious stares of Alyssa.

“You called for me…again?” Alyssa asked, silently wondering why Liam kept calling for her, even if he never uttered something new and different.

“Ohh!” Liam mouthed and trailed off again. He was lost in thoughts that for a minute, he left his mouth opened slightly.

“Timothy and I were on our way to the town. Nat said that you needed to see us urgently, right before we left”, Alyssa informed Liam, who gaped at her as though he had no idea of what she was uttering.

“I wanted to see you too…”, he tried to lay out the words on his head, but the more he tried, the more he failed.

He resigned and finally took in a deep breath.

“I only wanted to tell you both to be careful and very observant. People out there are not all good ones”, Liam stated and wiped the sweats that had formed on his forehead.

“Are you sure?” Are you okay?” Alyssa asked as she placed her hands on his forehead.

She was beginning to get suspicious, and the first thing that struck her mind was that he might be sick.

“Are you sick or something?” Alyssa asked and led him towards the bed. She laid him on the bed while he gaped at her with an indifferent look.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

He wanted to break into a loud round of laughter because being sick was the last thing on his mind. He was only nervous because he couldn’t ask Alyssa to be his wife.

“I would take care of him from here. You should head out before you are late”, Nathaniel said to Alyssa, who stood up and nodded her head in understanding.

She placed a quick kiss on his forehead, after which she reminded Nat to take a good care of him.

The moment Alyssa left the room, Nat threw a dead glare across to Liam, who now sat up on the bed.

“How long are you going to keep up with this?” Nat asked, with great concern in his eyes.

He couldn’t say why Liam found it difficult to behave like a man and put his request across to a woman who he wanted in his life.

“It’s not as easy as it looks. What if she rejects me?” Liam asked and sighed deeply while Nat started laughing aloud.

He couldn’t believe that Liam was making such a statement, especially after claiming to be bold and direct.

“Alyssa, from the onset, you have been a light in my life. A light which I want to witness every day of my life. I wish to hold you, every single day, to whisper sweet words into your ears and to assure you, with each day that passes, that you made the right choice by choosing me. I want you and only you. Would you accept this request and be my wife and future queen?” Liam read through the lines he had grabbed on his head. Again, Nat laughed aloud.

He couldn’t believe that Liam already had what to say in his head, but the courage to approach her was missing.

“I think you should just propose to her straight up, rather than making it look like a big deal and acting weird”, Nat advised, after which he patted his shoulders and walked out of the room.

Liam sighed deeply as he made up his mind to take the bull by the horn. He resolved that there was no need to be scared because either ways, he would still be in her life as Tim’s father.
