Alpha Kian And His Captive Mate novel Chapter 52

~Nyla~

My groggy eyes widened the minute I opened them. What happened earlier today felt like a dream.

All my life I had hated that my kind needed blood. It was more of a necessity to survive for me rather than a delicacy. But feeding from my mate was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was amazing! With the hum of pleasure that raced through my body and, given how good it tasted, I had to fight back the urge to suck him out dry.

I couldn't help but blush when I saw he was hard. That sexy look on his face once I finished the best meal ever... it had aroused some deep-seated hunger within me. His heavenly masculine scent that still lingered on my body and the bedsheets made my lower regions clench in longing. I wanted him in my bed again.

I kept telling myself I shouldn't want to like anything about him, yet I found everything so darn irresistible about him. All my wonderful thoughts about the awesome sex flew out the window when I heard a knock on the door.

Was he back to confront me?

I can't deny it forever. And the worst part was that he could use Ari against me to extract the answer. If I told him the truth, he might want to punish me by taking my baby away for good.

I heard the knock again as I trudged towards the door, praying it wasn't him. Part of me wanted it to be him. I had never fed on Wyatt, but it appeared to have intensified my feelings for Kian, especially the need to be with him all the time.

The next full moon was over ten days away. I needed to stay here until then. I needed to find a way to not feed on him and still beat the withdrawal symptoms. Asking for blood again would be a sure-shot way of confessing to my crimes after.

I would never be willing to tell him the truth. Wyatt would have never forgiven me if I did something like that to Vance. It would be a terrible idea to gamble on how Kian would react to Ryder's or anyone else's deaths.

There was only one way to stay here until the full moon and to keep my baby safe...

Ren wheeled in a cart full of food I had no appetite for.

"Good to see you awake. The Alpha had asked me to wake you up if you slept past three," she said.

"Is he... does he..." My mouth went dry wondering if he would come back to confront me now.

"He went to oversee some pack stuff in the Night Walker Pack's territory."

I sighed in relief. Ah, absorbing more lands, bringing in more omegas and the others who were left alive. He won't find any answers even if he asks around.

Would he be able to guess who I was? How much did werewolves know about sirens? Wyatt hardly knew anything about me and Maya except for whatever I told him.

"He will be back tomorrow night. If you needed anything, he asked me to link him right away."

"Oh, that won't be necessary. I have his number. How is Ari?"

"Shh... Please, they can hear us... the men outside the door."

"To what do I owe the pleasure of being called upon?"

"Um... I'd like a pendant that lets me stay here in my human form a little longer."

"What happened to the one my sister gave you? How did you end up here without a pendant?"

"It got lost... somewhere."

"Too bad Selene is so strict. Is that all you need?"

For a second, I thought this was going much smoother than I had imagined. She didn't really sound as wicked or bitter as my folks portrayed her to be.

"Could you wipe out my mate's memories from this morning? A specific memory." That would be awesome.

"Sorry sweetie, I can't do that kind of stuff. I can give you strength and enormous bouts of energy instead. It's complimentary with the pendant."
