Chapter 40
“Erica, it's better for you to wake up now than to suffer embarrassment for the rest of your life.” Suddenly, in the middle of my deep sleep, Sherly's voice woke me up.
However, it seemed that the voice was not strong enough to pull me out of the warmth I was feeling.
Indeed, at that moment, I felt a warm object that was very comfortable to hug. Not only was it comfortable, but it also felt a little hard. But wait a minute, how could I feel that in bed?
I even tried to force my eyes open. I realized that I might be in a very bad situation.
Sure enough, when I opened my eyes, my gaze immediately fell on a beautiful sculpture of the Moon Goddess.
Jayden's calm face as he slept hypnotized me into staring at him, especially seeing every curve of his face, which looked so perfect that it made me want to touch him to make sure I wasn't staring at a beautiful statue.
“Erica, wake up, wake up and realize where you are now!” Sherly's words disturbed me again, making me feel a little annoyed, but before I could really get angry at my she-wolf, I began to think that something was wrong with the current situation.
Wait! How could I be staring at Jayden who was fast asleep? And what indecent thoughts had I just had about a man sleeping in his sweet dreams?
Not only was I very surprised, I was even more shocked when I realized that the warm thing that had been making me comfortable was Jayden's chest, and how could my hands be so rude as to be on this man's chest?
No, I could only shake my head. I really couldn't do this, and now that I was awake, I could only pray to the Moon Goddess that she wouldn't wake Alpha Jayden, and I had to carefully pull my hand away before Alpha Jayden woke up and caught me.
However, before I could pull my hand away from his chest, I didn't realize that the man had already woken up from his sleep.
“What are you doing, Erica? Are you trying to molest me?” Alpha Jayden's hoarse voice really made my heart almost stop.
I quickly pulled my hand away and immediately got up from my lying position, but it almost made my body stagger.
“Be careful, Erica, you have low blood pressure.” Jayden spoke again in his hoarse voice, the man even held my body with his two very muscular hands and to be honest, at that moment I really felt that his distinctive hoarse voice when he woke up was so beautiful and very comfortable to my ears in welcoming this beautiful morning.
After I leaned my body against the bed behind me, I looked at Alpha Jayden with a slightly shy gaze.
“Alpha, that...” I held back my words and I was sure my face was red. How could I have been so bold as to touch the beautiful body of the Alpha of the Ruby Pack who had saved me?
Realizing that I was embarrassed by my own behavior, Jayden laughed amusedly.
“Why, Erica? Is my chest comfortable enough? Or do you want to look at my face again?” His teasing made me feel even more embarrassed.
I could only turn my face away from him because my tongue felt too heavy to answer his words.
“Some people have said that I have very beautiful features, they even said that the Moon Goddess was very kind to me because she gave me a very handsome face. Is that true, Miss Erica?” Again and again Jayden teased me.
“Alpha Jayden, stop it! Don't say that again,” I said with a slightly annoyed tone. For whatever reason, at that moment I wanted to disappear from this earth and bury myself because how could I do all those things? All this time, I was very confident that I was a girl who could control myself very well.
“What did I say, Miss Erica? Earlier, I felt someone staring at me intently while I was asleep, and I also started to remember something about an agreement that seemed to have been broken by someone,” he said again, leaving me even more speechless.
I also realized how could I forget the agreement? How could I forget what I said before I went to sleep? And now, I really wanted to dig a hole anywhere so I could hide from Alpha Jayden.
“Why are you just standing there, Luna Erica?” Jayden's words, calling me Luna without realizing it, immediately made me look at him.
“Luna?” I asked softly. I realized that it was indeed the name that would be given to me again, but for some reason, Jayden calling me Luna felt very gentle and made me feel a little comfortable because all this time when Richard called me Luna, he only called me with a tone of disgust.
"Of course it's Luna. If not Luna, then what should I call you? Have you forgotten that today is your coronation day? Also, I think we need to revisit our conversation from last night, Erica, because as the aggrieved party, I feel it's very unfair. What if people find out that Alpha, who sounds so much like me, was humiliated by a woman, and I couldn't even fight back against her?" Jayden's words made me feel so ashamed. How could a powerful Alpha like him openly tease a weak woman like me?
