Betrayed

Chapter 21

3RD POV

Annabelle pushed his hand away from her body and sat up on the bed, breaking their intense kiss.

“What… What did you just say?” she asked while adjusting her dress.

“Uh? What did I just say?” Derek asked, acting oblivious to what he had just spilled, which shook Annabelle vehemently.

“You… never mind.” She decided to keep quiet, thinking perhaps what he had said was a mistake, which she was extremely sure it was.

Derek sighed in relief when he saw that she was willing to overlook what he had said. He knew what it meant for her if he imposed it on her that he was her mate. He knew that she had just been rejected and denied by her own fated mate while at the Red Moon pack, and he knew how confusing it might seem to her if he told her that they were also mates…

He wanted her to find out herself that they were mates and he never intended for her to find out like this… He wanted her to be healed from her last relationship with the man who had almost broken her before he told her about it or before she found out herself.

Though, he wondered why her wolf hadn’t found out by itself, he had been willing to wait until he mistakenly spilled it out due to the intense passion he felt while he was kissing her.

As she stood to leave the room, he held her hand yet again, which she’d realized lately was what he had been doing.

“I… I would like to return to my room,” she said, and he shook his head.

“I can’t let you out of my room and alone in your room, not after hearing that Emily tried to kill you…

“She… I…”

“Stay with me tonight, in my room. I want to be sure that you’re alive and well… Besides, you need utmost care, especially after just being poisoned by the wolfsbane…”

“It’s no longer in my system…” She tried reminding him that, but he didn’t want to take that as an excuse.

“You’ll stay in my room until I sort out Emily’s punishment.”

She sighed, knowing fully well that Alpha Derek always does whatever he makes up his mind to do.

“Are you hungry? I can tell the servants to get you something to eat.”

“Uhm, no.” And just as she rejected his offer, her stomach grumbled loudly, making Derek laugh, which seemed to reduce the slight tension that had been hovering over them.

“I’ll take that as my answer.”

“No, I’m not. My stomach always seems to disgrace me whenever it hears the word food!” She said, trying to defend herself, but then again, her stomach grumbled. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ugh! I hate you, stomach!” She yelled, making Derek burst into a fit of laughter.

“I’ll tell the servants to get you something to eat so that you won’t see me as your next meal… Not that I would mind, though…” He winked as he said the last part, which obviously meant another thing.

“What would you like to eat?” he asked.

“Anything that they are willing to serve tonight, I’m totally fine with

that. I’m not picky about food,” she replied.

“Fine… Zach!” He called for his guard who was standing outside, guarding his door.

“Alpha.” Zach bowed the moment he entered the room and then raised his head up, but when he saw the Alpha and his new slave almost in an intimate position, he immediately kept his head bowed.

“Yes, Zach, kindly tell the servants to prepare a delicious meal for us…”

“Alright, Alpha.”

“Great, you may go.” Derek dismissed him, and when the door was shut, he pulled Annabelle on top of his body.

“Ah! Derek!” She screamed, quite surprised and shocked, and definitely nervous that she was on top of him. It was so sudden, and she never expected it.

“Relax, I’m not going to bite you.” Derek said, placing his hand on her waist and pulling her so that her face was closer to his.

“Let’s just stay like this for a few minutes.”

Derek held her body tightly, not wanting to let go. He tried to remove his mind from the gutter so that his little one wouldn’t rise while she was on top of him. He had promised her that he wouldn’t do a thing when deep down, he knew he wanted to bury himself right inside her, but since he had already promised her, he would have to control himself so that she would always find a way to trust him.

The more he tried to remove his mind from the gutter, the more his mind traveled towards the gutter.

He thought about how it would feel like if his hand caressed her cl!t and just the thought of that alone made him groan.

“What’s wrong?” Annabelle asked, seeing that he looked so serious with his eyes closed. She didn’t know what might be wrong with him and was asking out of obliviousness. When he didn’t respond to her question, she concluded in her mind that perhaps she was too heavy for him to carry, so she tried adjusting her weight so that her whole body wouldn’t be fully rested on him, not knowing that what she was doing was awakening his little one.

Derek groaned loudly again and held her still, his eyes which were closed suddenly opened.

“Stay still, and don’t move,” he warned.

“But… I’m trying to lessen my weight on you…” As she said that, she adjusted her weight again, making his little one turn into a rod, and stand erect.

A surprised frown grew on her face when she felt something hard poking under her.

“What’s this?” She asked as her hand tried to find the hard object poking her, unaware that it was his little one.

She held it and tried to push it away but was surprised when Derek made a loud groan, his eyes turning a shade darker, and that was when she realized what she had done.

“Fxck it, Anne. I can’t wait any longer!” Derek groaned, flipping her so that she was right under him.
