Alpha Kian And His Captive Mate novel Chapter 14

~Nyla~

"What do you want?" He almost snapped at me even before looking at me.

Seriously? Does he expect me to think that big black wolf was some stray? His wolf probably isn't an arrogant ass like him.

Where the hell was he going? He put on a jacket and was now strapping a watch on. How could someone look so sinfully sexy?

He oozed such dominance in that perfectly tailored suit and a concrete jaw under a dark grainy stubble. No one should be allowed to look so hot! An earthy scent swirled around him as I moved closer.

The mate bond was playing tricks on my mind again. My presence and scent should affect him, and being the human he thinks I am, I should be clueless. But here he was, standing with his back facing me, so indifferent while looking into the mirror and working up flawlessly coiffed hair.

"I want my baby."

"I told you she will live."

"Why can't I have her? She's mine after all."

"Didn't you say you would never ask me for anything if I let your friend go?" His green eyes shined brightly as he turned around to face me.

"I thought you would give my baby back by now. What's the point of keeping her away from me? You want to punish me for being the enemy's wife?"

He didn't care to reply. Grabbing his phone and wallet, he walked past me to take his gun out of a drawer. Why does he need any weapon when he was so fast with those powerful claws?

I strained my eyes to see from a distance if there were any silver bullets. I could probably seduce him one night and put it to use instead of waiting for the moon to hurry up.

He looked up at me with a raised brow as he shut the drawer. My vengeful intentions were obviously written all over my face.

I blocked his way when he approached the door. His eyes carried a blank expression as his face hardened.

"Go to your room."

"I'll not bother you if you just tell me where my baby is."

"Stop ordering me around and get the fuck out of here. I should throw you back into those kitchens for being such a pain in my neck."

Let me strangle that neck for you then.

He grabbed me by the arm and pushed me into the hallway while pulling the door shut. Someone in the hallway cleared their throat as they approached us.

"I actually don't have any milk. Have you been breastfeeding her?" I looked like a clueless mother. Didn't even know how many times to feed in a day.

"Oh, just take a warm shower. I actually have a heating pad in the bag. Let me show you."

I watched Kian pass by the hallway with his beta as the women walked into the room. Didn't realize it was ten in the night already.

With Ren and the wet nurse's help, I successfully fed my baby for the first time when she woke up. I lost track of time and watched her burp, twitch around, and look up at the ceiling in awe. She slept a lot and cried rest of the time unless I fed her.

I thought I would spend all night feeding her and watching her sleeping face, but I was already tired and it was only my first day. I laid her on her back and drifted off to sleep and within what felt like two seconds, she woke up crying, demanding to be fed after midnight.

At around 2 AM, I put her back in the crib and barely slept when I thought I had a vivid dream. I could feel Kian's arms wrap around me and feel his kisses on my head and neck.

Too tired to open my eyes to see if it was really a dream, I snuggled up to his warmth and fell asleep. It felt like I could hear his thoughts, that he can't reveal my identity or about being his mate. Something about his dad and the rest was a blur.

A sharp cry jolted me out of my dreams a little after four in the morning. Those were obviously not his thoughts but only my stupid imagination. It was just me in the bed. I went back to sleep again around five and rolled over to the other pillow which smelled like the same earthy scent I felt on him in the evening.

It was so soothing, just like his wolf's tongue against my burning skin. And those kisses on my neck, with his stubble rubbing against my shoulder and his arms pulling me closer to his chest. I should probably get rid of him first instead of his beta or Adalyn.

I woke up counting down days as usual, three more to go, and then reciting my daily prayer: He is my enemy; he killed Wyatt; he has t---
