Chapter 17: A NORMAL WOMAN

Suddenly, the man grabbed her waist and placed her on his lap, facing him. She was stunned by his strength but it was not the only thing that was going to amaze her tonight. He nibbled on her soft breasts, as his tongue circled around her nipples, Licia couldn't help but moan.

He grabbed her cheeks to kiss her lips, Licia closed her eyes and felt him evade her.

He then slowly placed her on the bed; kissing and soothing her burning body. Licia opened her eyes and looked at him, he was looking back at her with consuming passion and lust in his eyes. In her life, many people have looked at her with lust but no one looked at her like this.

She could not hold back from reaching out to him and hooking her feeble arms around his neck, "E- Enrique."

The man shuddered as he felt a tinge of pain in his lower abdomen; it was her first time calling him by his name and it sent down a gush of butterflies down his veins. Her reddened cheeks and plumy lips seemed to be a feast that he had to devour.

Alpha Enrique never had a woman before her because he was unseducable. He had beauties across the land try to impress him but all failed miserably. The woman's body to him was just a frame of bone and blood with some extra flesh at some places, there was nothing fascinating about it until he met her.

There was something about this particular woman that drove him crazy; she didn't have to do anything at any time to make him want her, just her calling him by his name was enough.

He lifted her leg and went inside her; Licia, unable to bear the pain, grabbed his shoulder and hugged him. The sound of their moaning and panting echoed the walls of the room.

Alpha Enrique thought to himself, just who was this woman who was capable of pulling the rusted strings of his heart and producing a beautiful melody with it.

It was around midnight when the couple was finally done. Both were lying on their respective side of bed, staring at the ceiling. The room reeked of the scent of their love making and the sensation of love still lingered in the air.

Licia was tired, she has gone an extra mile of her capacity to satisfy the man's beastly strength today. Now that it was finally done, she relaxed her body and turned around to sleep.

"You shall sleep in my room from now on, regardless whether I hold you or not." Alpha Voice rang behind her, making her turn her head to look at him. He continued, "You must hate the idea of sharing beds with a lowly Omega like me but you did say you would bear with it."

He too proceeded to turn away, turning his broad back towards the girl. Licia understood what he meant and how poorly he had interpreted her words. Thus, she spoke up, "That's not what I meant. When I said I will bear with it, I was talking about the pain because… it was really painful last night…"

"And tonight?" The man asked out of the blue, startling her, "Huh?" Alpha Enrique repeated himself, "Did it hurt this time?" Licia shrunk into her blanket and clutched herself, "No… It didn't hurt… this time."

That was right, the scene played out in her mind and they made love longer than last night. Even after all this, she experienced very minimal pain tonight.

The next morning…

Licia put on her clothes and pulled apart the curtains to see the rising sun afar, the sky was starting to brighten up. She looked at the man who was fast asleep on the bed; he was currently on his belly with their blanket draped around his naked body. The girl couldn't help but look at his charming face; he had a tanned undertone maybe because of the war that he had fought. She also noticed that he looked way approachable and harmless with his eyes closed. She has heard various things about him and all of them are true but right now, he was just a normal human being, naked and vulnerable.

Last night was quite a strange experience.

Alpha Enrique wasn't rough with her; all night, he was tender and considerate, careful that he didn't hurt her. The way he held her and loved her, it felt as if he was doing it for someone dear to him.

Her cheeks blushed… Last night, she was a simple woman who was getting loved by her man. This was the first time it has ever happened and thus, was alien to her. She didn't feel helpless or desperate like when she was serving as a maid last night, in fact, it made her feel far more important and superior thinking that someone was putting forward her safety over his pleasure. Licia has always felt that when she was around him, she could still feel as if she was Liam but this time a little more natural and comfortable in her own skin.

"You must live on, Licia. As a normal woman outside the castle." As she was stepping out of the door, her mother's words rang in her ears.

A normal woman…

When she was pretending to be Liam and was in a situation where she thought she might have to act as him forever, she always dreamt of leading her life as a normal woman. The life of a woman came with no responsibility.

Today, the Alpha has given her all the rights as a Luna and has accepted her as his other half. Now, she will be expected to carry out her duties as a wife, take care of the Alpha and bear his pups. Once the children are born, she will be made to educate and take care of them and retire within the four walls of the palace.

Her life looked pretty easy but… what about the people of her town?
