Chapter 39: Chapter 39
Sophia’s POV
I couldn’t calm myself as we entered the car. Kyra pissed me off so damn much, and I fucking hated that she could still affect Nathan. What the hell was happening? They were over! Nathan should always have been on my side no matter what, but he couldn’t even defend me from Kyra a while ago. He had remained silent, looking at Kyra like a wounded animal. His minty scent was now tinged with something bitter.
This can’t be! I can’t lose Nathan to Kyra. He’s mine now, and that’s the way it will stay until the day we die. I’ll make sure of that!
I glanced at Nathan as he started driving the car in silence. His expression was serious, and his eyes were grimly fixed on the road. Just what the fuck?
I couldn’t let this slide.
"Kyra seemed happy, huh?" I said while staring at his handsome face, watching for a reaction. He didn’t budge. He stayed silent while driving, which irritated me even more.
"Her new mate must be in love with her," I continued. "I bet he’s fucking her senseless every night. Pregnant she-wolves are always so... needy." I raised an eyebrow, still waiting for his response.
A growl rumbled in Nathan’s chest. I gritted my teeth as his grip tightened on the steering wheel. His jaw clenched, and his eyes darkened further. Fuck! He was obviously affected and trying so hard to hide it.
"Pathetic," my wolf sneered. "His wolf still whines for her."
Provoke him more until he admits his feelings, Sophia. I needed to confront him about his stupid feelings for his ex-mate. He’s going to marry me soon, so I needed to make sure there was no other she-wolf in his heart. He’s mine and mine alone.
I caressed Nathan’s leg. "Are you okay, Alpha? Don’t feel guilty. Maybe you hurt her before, but she’s happy now. Kyra is really, really happy now—"
"Stop mentioning her name, Sophia." The coldness in his voice made me freeze. His tone dropped to that dangerous Alpha timbre that usually made omegas cower in fear.
What the fuck? Did he just speak to me that coldly? I couldn’t believe him! Is this how he’s going to treat me every time he sees Kyra? Damn that bitch!
"Do you have feelings for her, Nathan?" I asked, annoyed.
He clenched his jaw again and pressed his lips together. His eyebrows furrowed, and he was obviously pissed now. Oh! I didn’t care! I was angry now!
"Are you in love with your ex-mate, Nathan? Answer me!"
"We have dinner with my parents tonight, Sophia. Don’t ruin my mood—"
"You fucking ruined my mood, Nathan! Answer me honestly. Are you in love with her?"
He glanced at me. I felt cold under his icy stare before he turned his eyes back to the road.
"Don’t worry... I know my responsibility. I won’t disappoint you while we’re engaged."
I stared into his face, searching for any hint of insincerity in his eyes, but he looked dead serious. He didn’t say if he still had feelings for Kyra. It was irritating, but his promise somehow calmed me down.
I licked my bottom lip and grabbed the steering wheel from him. I parked the car and straddled him after reclining his seat. He looked at me, frowning.
"What are you doing, Sophia?"
I smirked and kissed him on the lips before looking into his face again. "I’m going to please my future mate. So stay seated and just moan for me."
He watched me as I slid off him and undid his belt. I grinned seductively after unbuttoning his jeans and taking out his length.
I licked its tip and he arched his back, making me smirk even more. You can’t do this to him, Kyra. You can’t make him so horny he’d forget his own name. You were a boring housewife and I’m sure you were lame in bed too.
I will make Nathan happy. I’ll satisfy him in every way so that he never thinks of leaving me. Even if I have to please him—or his family—using a pup, I’d be happy to have his child. Besides, I think his evil father would finally soften because of a pup.

Kieran’s POV
Her taste and scent still haunted me—orange blossoms. I couldn’t forget what happened last night. It had been so fucking hot. It awakened my undying desire. I felt so fucking alive, remembering the way her body arched against mine, how her wolf surrendered to mine even as her human half resisted—it was so fucking hot. It was like a dream come true. I felt like a devil given the chance to witness heaven’s beauty, and even if it was just for a few moments, I was so happy I prayed for another chance to feel it again.
Her lips. Her soft skin. Her warm breath. Her eyes. Everything about her drove me crazy. So mad...
My cock twitched at the memory.
"Mine," my wolf, Ronan, growled in my head. "She was almost ours."
I wetted my bottom lip and felt the wound she left last night. She’d bitten me and pushed me away as soon as she snapped back to sanity. She was shocked. The horror in her eyes made me feel guilty, but the devil in me wanted more. I wanted to kiss her again, touch her more.
My fingers... Damn! I shouldn’t have wasted time just touching her last night. I should’ve claimed her properly when I had the chance. Should’ve sunk my teeth into that pretty neck and made her scream my name. Fuck! She was almost mine! Just thinking about it made me so fucking horny. My heart was pounding and I had no idea I could feel this way. Only she could make me feel this. That woman could bring out the devil—and the best—in me.
"Alpha Kieran, are you even listening?"
I lifted my face and looked at the werewolf sitting in front of me, the envoy from the neighboring pack here to negotiate border control. He looked pissed, while I watched him with disinterest.
"This deal is important, Alpha Kieran. Do you still want this partnership?"
I laughed sarcastically and drank the liquor in my glass. "I really don’t like it when someone questions me. Didn’t anyone tell you that?"
One of my gammas entered the private room and moved beside me to whisper, "Sir, Miss Kyra has been kidnapped by an unidentified werewolf."
I gripped the empty glass in my hand until it shattered. Blood started dripping from my palm, but I didn’t care. I slowly lifted my face and looked at him. "What did you say?"
"Hahaha! I’m a little impressed by the abilities of your pack warriors, Alpha Kieran. So? I suppose you’ll understand what this means. Accept the deal and your she-wolf will survive. If not... you know what will happen."
I tilted my head from side to side, slowly. I clenched my jaws and dropped the crushed glass on the floor.
"If a single hair on her head is harmed, I’ll bathe your territory in blood."
Ronan howled in agreement.
I grabbed a gun from one of my gammas and shot the envoy right in the head.
"No one threatens me and gets away with it, bastard," I whispered as I watched the smoke curl from the gun’s muzzle.
If they even hurt her a little, I will chase them—even in hell.
