Fake Mate Beta Rises to Alpha Heiress novel

Chapter 217 Another Sensitive Spot Leonardo's POV: 43.54%8 +10 Free Coins Natalie gently set down her fork. She looked straight into my eyes and didn't answer right away. Instead, she asked, "So, would you ever lie to me or betray me?" "Never." My answer was unwavering, like a vow made before the Moon Goddess. "That day will never come." She smiled then. It was a warm and gentle smile brimming with complete trust and devotion. "Then I wouldn't either," she said, her voice soft but certain. "My ruthlessness is only for those who betray or hurt me.

But you're the one I'll walk through anything with, no matter what happens." My throat tightened. As a top Alpha, I was used to controlling my emotions and suppressing my instincts. But right now, something more primal stirred in my chest-an urge to make, to possess, to protect, so strong it threatened to shatter my self-control. Was this the power of a bonded mate? Even though we hadn't marked each other yet, our souls were already entwining. My gaze fell on the instant pasta in front of her, and my brow furrowed slightly.

"You call that dinner?" I asked, my voice carrying a hint of that commanding Alpha tone, though I tried to keep it gentle. "That's not nutritious. Should I have Aaron arrange for a proper cook for you?" She laughed and shook her head, her hair swaying with the motion. Her neck was exposed to the camera-a sign of absolute trust, something only shown to pack members or a bonded mate, Natalie said, "No need. I just felt like indulging a little sometimes." She took a satisfied bite of pasta.

Her lips reddened slightly from the spice, and her tongue unconsciously darted out to lick the corner of her mouth. My eyes narrowed sharply-a werewolf's instinctive reaction. I felt my canines itching beneath my gums. A wave of heat rose from my lower stomach, spreading quickly through my whole body. Damn it! "Only sometimes." I forced myself to look away,hough my voice had grown husky. "When I ||| 1/3 15:07 Thu, Jan 8 GDG Chapter 217 Another Sensitive Spot get back, I'll make sure you get all the nutrients you're missing." She looked up at me.

The screen's light reflected in her eyes, soft and luminous. 54%8 +10 Free Colms "Promise, then. Come back soon... to take care of me, she said, then paused, her voice softening with a kind of dependency I'd never heard from her before. "When you're not here, nothing really tastes that good." My breath hitched. Her words hit harder than any straightforward love confession. A faint, ticklish warmth stirred at the tip of my heart, leaving me utterly flustered.

This was the same woman I couldn't bring myself to touch when we shared a bed, yet every smile and glance she gave was utterly captivating. Just watching her for a moment longer made my whole body burn. "Very soon." My voice was deep and strained, my Adam's apple rolling uncontrollably. "I'll fly back the moment I finish things here." I wanted to go back right away. I wanted to wrap her in my Alpha scent, to cover her with mine, and to tell the whole werewolf world-this was my mate. No one else touched her. "Okay. Work is important, but don't overdo it," she murmured.

"I'll wait for you." Her last four words were soft and gentle, brushing against the most tender part of my heart. My lower abdomen tensed instantly. Unwanted images flooded my mind-nights with her curled against me, breathing softly, her long lashes casting faint shadows. Back then, I held back every instinct, afraid to disturb her sleep. But now... now I wanted her to wake up in my arms. I wanted to see her sleepy eyes as she murmured my name. I wanted to feel the warmth of her skin through the fabric of her clothes. A knock at the door from Aaron pulled me out of those heated thoughts.

I took a deep breath, forcing myself back to calm. Natalie used the time while Aaron updated me on work to go take a shower. I couldn't bring myself to hang up, so I just left the video call running. By the time Natalie returned from her shower, I was still working on documents. Seeing her appear on screen, towel-drying her damp hair, my focus completely shattered, She tilted her head back slightly to apply some serum, her neck forming a graceful curve. 2/3 15:07 Thu, Jan 8 GDG.
