The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 93 He kept telling me to stop moving, but each brush of his hands had me slightly arching back into him. Millions of chills were spreading over my skin. Alexander continued to speak, but | was hearing very little of the conversation at that point. Part of me felt a bit shameful for not being able to pay proper attention to him. There was no telling the amount of stress | had put him under these past couple of days and | couldn't even give him my full focus. However, Alexander must have realized that | wasn't paying attention because he'd stopped talking altogether.

The only sound that filled the room was the erratic rhythm of my breathing. He must have known that | was distracted by the movement of his hands because he suddenly made an experimental move. Alexander daringly slid the tip of his hand upward through the small valley between my breasts. | sucked a sharp breath through my teeth and fought to keep still. His chest vibrated from the deep chuckle he let out. "So that's what has you distracted," he hummed. His fingers continued their tantalizing little dance along the ---- underside of my breast.

"Alexander," | gasped "Tell me to stop and | will." "| don't want you to stop...It's just...| really think...Maybe...1 should be getting up to-" Before | could even finish my sentence, | was suddenly turned over and facing Alexander's fierce gaze. He snagged the edge of my jaw and forced me to meet his gaze. "Have you any idea the absolute hell | endured for the last three days?" he hissed. My eyes went wide once more. "For fuck sake, there were so many moments when | really thought | was going to lose you." All the air had seized in my lungs.

My lips parted, yet | hadn't a single clue what to say. "I'm sorry," | said quietly. His expression turned incredulous. "Sorry? What could you possibly be sorry for? You're not the one who sabotaged the tea mixture. If anyone is meant to be sorry it's Fiona. But | guess none of that really matters now." My brows reached into my hairline. | was stunned. "Wait, what?" ---- Fiona? Parts of my memory were still trying to come through. Although | couldn't fully recall if | had mentioned Fiona's name to Alexander during my respite, | knew | had seen her before | brewed that tea.

| must have mentioned her to him at some point though. "Right. | suspect you don't recall most of what went on while the poison was working through your system. Well, I'll have you know that your intuition against Fiona was spot on. She was the one responsible for having tampered with the mixture. Not only that, but you were right about the Belladonna as well," he said with a smile. "Fiona has been relieved of her position here in the pack." My jaw would have rightfully hit the floor had it not been for him still holding it between his fingers.

"So, Fiona is really gone?" Itried to keep my tone of relief down to a respectable minimum, But it was really no mystery that she and | didn't get along Alexander nodded his head. "She completely confessed to having mixed the Belladonna in with everything else." "But why?" | asked impatiently. ---- "She saw what you were doing with the tea and believed it was a threat to her own profession. Fiona wasn't fond of the idea of you getting the praise and attention that she is normally used to." | practically gawked at his response. "That's freaking ridiculous!" | seethed.

"She could have poisoned half the damn region-all because she was being an insecure bitch?!" Alexander let another hearty laugh and leaned down to place a swift kiss on my lips. All traces of anger were all but swiped away. "It's good to see back on the mend," he acknowledged.
