Adrian's POV

"Don't you ever say that to me," Mila said.

"Come on," I said and walked over to her. I placed my hand on her shoulder slightly. She turned around sharply and pointed her fingers at me.

It was considered disrespectful for someone to point out their finger to an Alpha. But I didn't care about being respected by Mila. She could do what she wanted and I wouldn't complain.

"Don't you ever say you're sorry when it's involving a lady," she warned sternly.

"What do you mean?" I asked

"Oh really? You don't know what I mean?" she laughed

"I don't," I argued.

"Your high libido is the problem," she started. "If you don't have so many mistresses to warm your bed, maybe all these wouldn't be happening. Maybe she wouldn't have the guts to come into this room in the first place," she continued.

"I have nothing to do with her," I tried to defend myself, even though I knew it wouldn't help one bit.

"I don't care. She must already know you have a weakness for women that's why she thinks she has a shot with you. And you know what? Maybe she does," she snapped

I haven't seen Mila so mad since I knew her. Even if she is hurt, she'd take it in silently.

"I'm sorry, okay?" I yelled

"You're sorry? Why would you say sorry to me? You'd end up doing what you like anyways, I would be nothing more than a breeder to you," she said

"Jeez," I groaned in frustration.

"You can do all you want, but don't make those ladies talk to me the way they please," she said, her voice already breaking slightly.

If I didn't stop her now, I am sure she'd start crying. And I didn't want that now.

"Mila. It's okay," I whispered.

"It's not okay, Adrian," she yelled. "It's not damn okay,"

I could feel the anger emitting from her body. She looked like she was bout to explode.

"Do you know how hurt I am, knowing someone thinks of me as one of your bed warmers?" she questioned

I have never thought of it that way before. Why would anyone think she is my bed warmer? She isn't always around me but anyone should know I don't allow my women to sleep in the palace for even a day. They come over, we have fun and they go.

"No one would think that," I chimed in

"Yeah? Then explain why that lady just called me one of your bed warmers?" she snarked

"She has only been in the palace for a few hours. She doesn't know you," I tried to make her see reasons with me.

"Exactly my point, Adrian'. She hasn't been in the palace for long and she already knows you have a high libido," she accused

Those words when coming straight from her mouth, made me feel like a piece of crap.

"Why are you making this a big issue? I already said I'm sorry," I said, already feeling myself getting angry.

"You're sorry? Can sorry fix my bruised ego?" she questioned.

"Is that what you're saying? Me being sorry means nothing to you?" I asked, biting my lips in annoyance.

"Yes. It means absolutely nothing. You would still get another girl down with your shaft. I bet you wouldn't even remember this conversation when you're banging her," she said.

"Watch your tone," I warned.

"Or what? What would you do to me? You want to beat me? Or throw me in the dungeon. Or better still, you can make the servants torture me till I pass out. So what would it be? Huh, Alpha?" she inquired, her tone sounding sarcastic.

Why was she making this harder than usual? For Christ's sake, it's almost midnight. Even though I had conducted the spell to automatically keep her in place by midnight, I still had to be there to watch her. Now she was making me mad.

"Please don't make this harder than it already is," I pleaded.

"I want to make it harder. I am your breeder for crying out loud. I deserve a little bit of respect," she stated.

"And you're being respected," I declared

"By being called a slut?" she asked

"Like I said, she didn't know you," I defended.

"Well, I don't care about you. You can fuck any lady you deem fit, just make sure I don't get disrespected again," she warned

"Are you jealous?" I asked, my voice calming down. I wasn't that angry anymore. Maybe she was jealous. That was the possible explanation. Right from when she saw me in the office, she had been giving me the cold shoulder. She might not want to admit it, but I guess she is jealous

"Why would I be? Because I saw you fucking a lady at the same spot you had sex with me?" she asked, rolling her eyes.

"Well, with the way you said it, it would seem so," I gently spoke.

"Why would I be jealous?" she asked, her eyes flaring up in flames

Oops. I think I just have angered her more than necessary. But I didn't say anything bad. Was being jealous something that would irk her so much?

"I don't know. Maybe you want to be the only woman in my life?" I asked, choosing my words wisely as she was already provoked to her peak.

"And have you thought of what you said as stupid?" she asked, frowning.

"How is it stupid?" I asked

"I recall you telling me you wouldn't acknowledge me as your mate and I would never claim me. So how the hell would I want to be attached to someone like you?" she remarked.

I was speechless at this remark and just stood there like a statue and watched her continue drying her hair. This was going to be harder than I thought. She said nothing after that and walked into the closet to change her clothes.

I must admit, I didn't want to claim her as mine but I still wanted to keep her by my side.

I was still in my thoughts when I heard a shrill scream. I stared at the clock and it was midn

ight.

Shit.

I stood up and jolted into the closet.
