Mated To Alpha Gregory

Lilith’s POV

“Adams, why would you barge in like that? What if I was in the middle of something personal?” I was shocked beyond words by the way he walked into the room. Yes, he was the Alpha king and could do whatever he wanted, but courtesy demanded he knocked first.

I became furious, and it was evident in my face.

He didn’t say a word, rather his gaze shifted to Cara, who had sprung up to her feet with hands trembling like she had touched a live wire.

“I… I would take my leave now, your highness,” she stammered, walking to the door with unsteady steps.

“My lord.” She bowed hastily as she got to his side and almost stopped, but continued when he didn’t reply.

Closing the door silently, she left the room, leaving us alone.

Seeing his face made me remember the way he spoke to me the night before and all I wanted to do was order him out the same way, but I couldn’t.

My poor heart couldn’t bear to speak harshly to him as his gaze locked onto mine, making my wolf, Lexi, stir like a possessed wheel inside me.

“You should stop Lexi,” I scolded her. She seemed to obey for a while before breaking into a state of total madness I had not expected.

“Lilith… I… I wanted to apologize for the way I reacted last night, it was rude of me.” His wavering voice danced into my ears, like the notes of an acoustic guitar.

I struggled to stay in control of myself, to not expose my weaknesses before him, but Lexi wasn’t helping the situation and I couldn’t lie I wanted him too.

So I broke away from his enchanting blue eyes, which looked like the sky on a bright summer day. It was hard, but I did it anyway. A moment of delay would make it difficult to stay in control of myself any longer.

He took a step towards me, then another. Each sounded like the crunching of dried leaves on the floor of a park as the sun was high in the sky.

I pushed the table before me gently and stood up from the chair I sat on, giving me enough space to move freely.

He was now very close and, before long, all that stood between us was the table and everything on it.

His scent, a mixture of rain on sand and coconut, strolled into my nostrils like it owned it, taking my brain and everything in my head unawares like a pirate taking an unsuspecting ship.

My heart beat drummed hard in my chest like a band was playing in there. As if it was a planned work, my brain began to play the tune of a long song I’d heard before.

It suddenly seemed like I was in a romantic novel where the wind blew, and the rain fell. Then my sweetheart came with an umbrella and held my waist.

But all of these were in my imagination, obviously.

Although we were meters apart, I could hear his heart beat gently, as he carried himself with so much ease.

He looked like an angel which had fallen from the skies, landing in my room, causing the wind which blew gently from the window to hold still as everywhere suddenly became hot.

Some hair strands fell on his face and he moved his hands up to tuck them back in place when our gaze met again and stars began to twinkle all around us.

“Lilith…” he called, and it seemed I would get drunk at the sound of his voice if I heard it one more time.

“Lilith!” I heard it louder, and it snapped me out of the subconscious world where I had let myself fall into, drooling at his magnificent demeanor.

He was probably wondering what it was that got me lost and had said my name a little louder to bring me back to him because, truth be told, I was slipping away into an endless abyss, tormented by his touch and scent and everything about him that I could never think about.

“Damn it!” I was supposed to be mad at him and not drool over him. What is wrong with me?

“I… I’m sorry, I got carried away.” I shifted uncomfortably where I stood and tried to move towards the window when the helm of the shirt gown I wore got stuck in a nail lying in the least expected place on the foot of the table.

I lost my balance and slipped.

I could have sworn that I saw my life flash before my eyes as I saw the hard floor laugh before me, pouting its lips to kiss mine for when I finally came in contact with it.

Time seemed to stop, and I fell in slow motion, closing my eyes-scared to see the outcome.

Suddenly, it all stopped.

I was no longer floating in the air, neither were my lips or my head or any part of my body locked up in a romance with the merciless, hard floor.

Rather, I felt safe- held by strong hands which wouldn’t let me go.

I opened my eyes and they met his. Sparks suddenly came out from nowhere, flashing around us as neither of us looked away, locked in each other’s gaze.

How he moved swiftly from where he stood to where I was, catching me in time before I made a fool of myself, I couldn’t tell.

“You should be more careful, it’s not like I would bite.” He chucked and helped to straighten me up.

My hands were on his chest while his were still on my waist. He was definitely happy with the way things were going, the smile on his face after the chuckle said it all.

A blush crept up to my cheeks and I covered it with my hands. There’s no way I was letting him stare at me like this, not when I was still mad at him.

His lips were very close to mine and I suddenly had the urge to kiss it. He must have sensed my thoughts and came closer till his lips were very close to mine.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Just when our lips almost made contact, I shouted, “Stop!”
