    -DAMON-


    This was unbelievable! Today was the worst day to pull this stunt. I won’t let this slide easily.


    “You can’t sleep on my bed” ra suddenly said, turning my attention to her.


    “What?” I muttered as turned to her and she folded her arms.


    “You can’t sleep on my bed, you’ll have to sleep on the floor. I’lly down a nket for you” She


    murmured then walked away and I stood there for a while before letting out a scoff. The Audacity!


    I watched as sheid down a nket next to the bed and only when she was done did I walk over


    andy on the bed.


    “What are you doing?” She questioned and I turned to her with an innocent look.


    “What?” I questioned and she groaned.


    “I said you couldn’ty on my bed” She muttered through clenched teeth and I raised an eyebrow.


    “Thest time I checked, this house belongs to me and so does the bed so if anything, you can’ty


    on my bed. Now shut up so we can sleep and get this night over it” I muttered then closed my eyes.


    “What kind of gentleman are you? You’re really going to let adyy on the ground?” She uttered


    and I opened one eye.


    “Where’s thedy?” I murmured and she red at me before jumping into bed andying next to


    me.


    “Fine then we’ll bothy on the bed. Have fun listening to me snore” She muttered and I instantly


    wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her close..


    She let out a gasp as she stared at me with wide eyes while I just smirked.


    “Are you sure you want toy next to me? We are supposed to be mating, maybe I’ll just…” I trailed


    off as I dragged my fingers down her thighs. I was just teasing her but with the way my pants were


    getting tighter, it felt like I was the one getting teased.


    ra immediately moved away from me and got out of the bed.


    “Fine, I’ll sleep on the ground!” She uttered exasperatedly and I smiled before turning away.


    “Off the lights” I ordered and she sighed then grumbled as she turned off the lights. I listened to her


    groan as she got on the floor and I opened my eyes slightly to spy on her.


    We were both silent for a while, I wasn’t able to sleep because I could hear her tossing and turning


    on the floor.


    “I would never let my colleagues touch you, ra” I didn’t know why I was saying this but my wolf


    has been giving me attitude ever since spoke to ra that way and even I was starting to feel


    guilty.

    “Those girls I gave out to them were sluts and would do anything to climb up the socialdder.


    They willingly gave themselves to those men, I was just a stepping stone” I murmured and she


    didn’t say anything for a while then she sighed.


    11:35 Mon, 1 Jul i GB.


    “Why didn’t you say that earlier?” She questioned softly and I pursed my lips.


    “I’m not usually one to correct someone when they have a bad perception of me and there’s no


    doubt that I am a bad person but if we are going to make this happy marriage couple facade


    possible, we have to learn how to tolerate each other as hard as that sounds” I murmured and she


    sighed.


    “I guess I can learn


    I chuckled.


    to tolerate you but please be Alpha King soon, I don’t know how much longer I can stay with


    you” She uttered and


    “The feeling is mutual little devil” I murmured and was about to close my eyes when she uttered;


    “You still cannot interfere in my personal life and I will do the same. We will pretend to be a happy


    couple in front of everyone but when we are together, we don’t have to pretend” She murmured and


    I frowned. I didn’t know why her words angered me.


    “Sleep” I ordered then heard her sigh.


    After a while, her breathing got stable which meant she had fallen asleep while Iid there wide


    awake. For some reason, I couldn’t fall


    asleep.


    I heard ra groan as she twisted and turned on the floor and I finally understood why I wasn’t able


    to fall asleep


    I let out a groan before climbing out of bed and walking towards where she wasying on the floor.


    I bent down to pick her up but got lost in how beautiful she was when her mouth wasn’t moving. She


    grimaced slightly and adjusted herself, causing her gown to ride up her legs, exposing her freshp.


    She was still wearing the gown she wore to the wedding and maybe that’s why she seemed so


    ufortable.


    I gulped slightly then pulled her gown down before carefully carrying her in my arms and cing her


    on the bed. She immediately snuggled into the bed and a content smile appeared on her face which


    made me smile as well.


    I climbed into the bed as well and scooted closer to her as I stared at her face, engraving her


    features into my mind.


    Without thinking, I raised my hand and caressed her face. She was going to be trouble to me, I


    could feel it.


    “Today, I felt so jealous of Liam. I’ve never felt that way before and I know it’s because of the mate


    bond but shit still hurts” I murmured and I don’t know why I said It out loud but it made me feel


    better.


    Whatever I was feeling for her had to stop, be it because of the mate bond or my wolf. I couldn’t


    have her being my weakness. She wasn’t going to be in my life for long.


    After I be Alpha King, she and I are going to go back to being strangers but if this continues, I


    might not be able to let her go and that’s not going to be fair to her. She doesn’t deserve to be in my


    world.


    “I won’t taint your innocence, ra. I’ll give you your chance to be free from me“…
