Chapter 32
1612words
"Alpha Kylian, what are you doing?" A manly voice echoed through the hallway.
Suddenly, I regained my sanity and woke up from the bliss of the lust that rushed through my veins.
It's Albert!
I felt like I'd been drenched with a bucket of ice-cold water, completely perplexed by the situation we fell into.
My legs, which were so weak earlier, regained substantial strength to carry my weight again. Hastily, I put my legs down to the ground and pushed Kylian with every ounce of strength I could muster.
Facing the wall, I fixed myself up and pulled down my skirt. I could feel my face hitting, so I held it for a couple of seconds to calm myself and make sure I didn't look like a tomato when I faced him.
This is so embarrassing!
Never once in my life did I think I'd ever fall into this kind of humiliating situation.
A binge of hate for myself cursed through my soul. I couldn't believe that I actually catered to Kylian again!
On the other hand though, it wasn't much of a surprise either. It's been so long since I've been last touched by Kylian.
Since Flora arrived in our lives, I've been waiting earnestly day and night for him to join me in our bed again, but it never happened.
And the fact that just one brief glance from him was enough to turn me on wasn't helping so much.
My heart clenched by that reminder. The reminder of how on each and every night, I'd resort to covering my face with his dirty shirt and spend that time sniffing his intoxicating scent. It's morbid, but I'm a she-wolf. I'm supposed to mate with my mate, or I'd collapse with irresistible desire.
I sighed while I composed myself. Even it's embarrassing as hell, I was fortunate that Albert suddenly found his way here, or else I would have gotten entangled further with Kylian which future I couldn't imagine.
Kylian's the man I wanted to divorce and push away. I shouldn't get myself involve with him, even just for lust.
Because I kenw that no matter what he decide now, sooner or later, I'd still be the one suffering if I won't end what we had now.
Flora, Margot, and Natasha would always find a way to come between us.
I've known that for a long time but I act blinded on it. So, if he hadn't broken me so much when he chose to favor Flora over and over again, things would have been different.
I wouldn't have been so broken as I was now and would have managed to endure like I did for many years. I wouldn't have been despised by everyone and treat me worse than an omega, endelessly bulling me every chances they could get – even the servants became so bold to do so.
That past was like a knife that had it's spring attached on my heart, endlessly cutting through my heart.
Hence, as much as I love Kylian with every flaws he had, I realized that love wasn't enough to make me stay. I needed to got separated from him. No matter what.
Finally, I managed to turn around and find Albert looking at Kylian's belt that was on the ground.
Cooly, he put his hand on his pocket and raised an eyebrow at Kylian, questioning him again, "Alpha Kylian, what do you think you're doing?'
Kylian bent down and grabbed his belt, putting it on nonchalantly as if what he did to me in this alley was a usual thing.
He shrugged. "I'm showing love to the woman I love, not to mention my legal wife. I don't see anything wrong with it."
My jaw dropped and I looked at him with a glare.
It was disrespectful of him to do such thing to me in a public place. It's beyong degrading!
Seeing my glare, Albert retorted, "Miss Della doesn't seem to think the same way."
Kylian finished fixing his clothes and stood tall in front of Albert before speaking with gritted teeth, "This is between Della and me. I don't need you interacting with my family's affairs unless, of course, you are willing to be regarded as a third party with the intention of ruining other people's families."
Smugness was radiating all over Kylian, but it angered him further when instead of being intimidated, Albert simply laughed at him.
Shrugging his shoulder, Albert retorted, "I don't mind being a third party…"
Then his tone and expression turned serious so fast. "But I'll never allow any young woman like Miss Della to be insulted like this."
I looked at them back and forth as they talked back to each other. Their eyes were sending lasers, hands balled into a fist, and veins were almost popping out their necks.
I breath heavily, ready to get in between if things escalated more than words should be.
“Della?”
‘Oh shit!’ That was all I could think of when I heard Jackson's voice booming in the alley.
As Jackson walked closer to us, a series of more footsteps followed behind him. My eyes widened knowing he probably had the warriors following him.
“What–” Jackson’s words were cut off when he got a better view of what was happening.
His expressions of confusion instantly changed when he realized what just happened.
Before anyone could blink, Jackson’s fist was already punching Kylian’s left cheek and pushed a few steps back.
While Kylian was wiping the blood that dripped from the corner of his lips, Jackson was staring at me with worry and rage.
In deep voice and a hint of growl in his tone, he asked, “Do I need to accuse that piece of trash for rape? Tell me.”
My breath hitched and my eyes subconsciously found Kylian's eyes which were staring back at me with so much belief.
My eyes narrowed. Did Kylian believe I'll be on his side? Did he think I'll be that same foolish girl who'll do anything to save his ass?
Looking around, I saw all eyes were on me. Even the warriors who had now surrounded us were awaiting for my reply
After a while of being silent, I finally managed to nod my head while wrapping.my arms around me in a protective gesture. “Y-yes…”
I saw the shock in everyone's eyes that then flamed with rage and contempt.
“But…” I continued, “He sure did force himself on me earlier but… I also know he gave me enough time to refuse and struggle.”
Feeling shame and self-blame, I looked down at my feet. “If I wanted, I could have pushed him easily at any moment, but I couldn't help but want him to continue.”
It's the truth. As shameful as it was, I couldn't stop myself either. My soul and every being was screaming for his warm touches and kisses.
It's degrading to say but for a moment, I was just a lustful slut who gave in.
“No! Don't blame yourself. It's mine! It's my fault for not being able to control myself and the bond,” Trisha reasoned out, pain radiating to the both of us.
We still long for him. No matter how physically and emotionally we hate Kylian, the bond we had as chosen mates were still causing rift in our decisions.
Hence, Trisha and I couldn't do anything but to comfort each other.
“Speak up! Make it clear! Did I force you or did you want me too?” Kylian stood tall and asked while intently staring at me.
I've already told the truth. What more did he want to hear?
I did this to protect him, but he wanted me to say to everyone that I want him?
Kylian audacity was making me more and more angry and gloomy.
If I firmly said that Kylian forced me, it's like I'm pushing him into a death sentence. He’d be in charge and Luke would kill him faster than Jackson would.
What should I do?
I was struggling on what to say when Albert stepped in.
“I saw her struggling so I came and asked what Alpha Kylian thinks he's doing,” he said to Jackson without beating around the bush.
My eyes puffed in surprise and worry. He's a witness and that alone was enough to detain Kylian.
“Let him be!” Trisha said.
But I didn't listen and interrupted Albert from speaking further. “I agreed! I gave Kylian consent.”
I could feel someone putting holes in my head, making me look up to meet Jackson's look of disbelief.
“Are you for real?” he asked, disappointment echoing in his voice.
I bit my lip and looked him firmly in the eyes. “Please let Kylian go.”
Jackson fisted his hands and looked at Kylian, growling at him. “Go!”
It's evident it's against his will.
Kylian stared at me and vowed, “I'll never agree to that divorce. Mark my words. Don't deceive yourself. You still love me.”
With that, he left.
“Let's go.” Jackson turned around and led me to follow him with his Beta, Haley, by his side.
Albert then followed us out of the alley.
Icy demeanor was radiating all over Jackson which could be felt by everyone, making them involuntarily cautious of him.
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make him angry,” I told Beta Haley while I look apologetically towards Jackson's back.
For a moment, she was silent and I got nervous.
Then, she suddenly spoke in a diplomatic manner, “ Prince Jackson already sent the divorce papers to Kylian's father and former Alpha, Luke.”
I immediately halted and looked at her with shock.
“Luke will kill Kylian!”
