Chapter 48: Sudden kiss

The maids, Mireya and Matilda froze, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets. They almost could not believe what they were seeing at that moment.

Their Alpha, known for his cruel coldness, instead of threatening Hazel to punish her by whipping or even killing her for disobeying his orders, he instead threatened to carry her inside.

What kind of logic was that?

Mireya was seething inside, her fury threatening to boil over like a larva on the verge of eruption. If not because of the pain caused by her nails that had dug into her flesh, she would not have been able to suppress her anger.

She could not believe Damien would say something like that in front of her, and in front of the maids.

What made Hazel so special?

Why can’t she be the one to receive such treatment from Damien instead? Why does it have to be Hazel who was pale in comparison to her?

Hazel, on the other hand, was so pissed that she did not know what to do. Tangled with her anger was embarrassment that made her cheeks turn slightly red.

She knew Damien was shameless, but she never knew that he had no limits.

Seeing that rare red hue on Hazel's cheeks, something flickered in his eyes.

Actually, he had regretted it the moment he said it because those words had been uttered at the spur of the moment and due to the sudden anger he had felt.

Why was he angry?

The answer was odd and even he found it weird.

He was angry because of what she had said, because she had wanted to see his men and that reminded him of her interaction with that young guard yesterday.

The thought fueled his annoyance fot reasons unonown and he found himself saying those words.

Though he regretted it afterwards, seeing Hazel’a obvious shame, he suddenly thought of something that made his eyes darken.

Their first night.

Even though she had been unresponsive thay night, Damien strangely found himself looking forward to another night like that. He knew it wasn’t just because of the pleasure, but because he liked her expression when she was stuck beneath him, at his mercy as he ravaged every inch of her body.

He loved the feel of her skin on his palm and he loved that part of hers thay had obviously not been touched frequently.

He knew it was not her first time, but considering how tight it had been, he knew it was probably just her second or third time.

Damien never knew until that moment that he had such a weird fetish.

When he realized that his thoughts were already going astray, he shook his head subtly and frowned.

As an Alpha ruling over thousands of people, Damien had trained his self-control to the maximum and he had always prided himself for it.

But with Hazel, thay control was non-existent.

“Everyone is watching.” Hazel hissed under her breath, bringing Damien back to reality.

“If you don’t go inside now, I don’t mind adding a kiss to the options.” He suddenly said, his gaze attracted to her lips thay had turned red because she had been biting it.

Hazel froze in shock.

“How can you be so…shameless?” She exclaimed, lowering her voice in shame.

But the people around heard every single word exchanged between the two of them.

Their eyes were opened thay day and they saw a different side of their Aloha, a scene they probably would never forget in their entire lives.

However, Hazel did not dare hesitate anymore.

She knew that tone of Damien’s.

He would do it.

He would carry her and if she was not careful, he might even kiss her.

In front of the people!

And somehow, that thought made her heart clench. It wasn’t a painful type, but a type that seemed…eager.

No way!

Her brain was probably muddled by the fever, because why would she be eager for him to kiss her? She did not even want to get close to him or be touched by him!

Hazel did not dare stay.

“Fine,” She snapped and with one last glare at Mireya, she turned and entered the chamber with a huff, her steps stiff and hurried as though she was running away from something.

Damien watched her backview, and he did not even notice how his eyes softened slightly.

He was about to follow when Mireya’s voice stopped him.

“Alpha.” Mireya called out, her earlier displeasure gone and in its place was a pleasant and sweet smile.

Matilda, who had been watching from the sides and was about to leave, raised her brow. She could not help but applaud Mireya’s composure inwardly.

“Are you free to discuss something important? I promise I won’t waste your time, I just want to share some opinions with you and discuss other things. Can you spare me a few minutes?” She asked, her voice lowered into a honeyed tone.

His eyes shifted to her.

That momentary softness was nowhere to be seen. In its place was the familiar chill.

“I am busy.” He merely said, his tone calm.

Mireya’s smile faded. “Busy? But you just…”

The door shut firmly on her face and she stood there, stunned.

Her composure finally cracked.

No one had ever dismissed her, not in this way.

“Lady Mireya, if you need someone to talk to, I can make time for you. But obviously, the Alpha is busy right now, so he won’t be able to attend to official matters.” Matilda said calmly.

She could see through Mireya’s plans and she scorned it inwardly.

Mireya turned to glare at Matilda and stormed away without giving a reply. Matilda sighed pretentiously before leaving with the maids behind her.

Inside the chamber, Hazel had barely taken two steps into the chamber when the door slammed behind her and Damien walked in, his presence looming over her as she turned around.

Before she could gather her thoughts, Damien had taken large strides forward, closing the distance between their bodies before pressing her against the wall.

Then, he leaned in and kissed her.
