Alpha's Cursed Luna novel Chapter 35

ELEANOR

Alexander wipes away my tears as he gives me a confused look.

I smile at him, shaking my head as if nothing happened. I drop my eyes to my lower body before glancing up at his handsome face. His platinum blonde hair all messed up however it did nothing to compromise his deathly handsome appearance.

I gulp before parting my lips, feeling his intense gaze on me, most especially my body sticking out in his room, half-naked. My cheeks flushed red, and I turn my head to the side, averting my eyes from his knowing I wouldn’t be able to hold his stare for too long.

“C-Can I ask you something?”

“I’m all ears, princess” He says softly, staring down at me while I twirl my hair around my finger nervously.

“Did something happen between us... last night?” I ask bashfully, completely ignoring his gaze penetrating me to the core.

For a moment, he didn’t say a word, and I began to wonder whether he heard me or not.

I hear him chuckle lightly before he said, “If you’re worried about that, then no.”

In an instant, I let out a sigh of relief.

“Besides, I want to see you wide awake when I make love to you, Eleanor” He whispers, leaning closer to my ear, tickling my sweet spot and I find myself resisting a soft, pleasurable moan.

I lower my gaze once more, landing my eyes on my state of undress. Pulling my brows together, I raise my head and stare into his cerulean blue eyes, studying the uncertain expression on my face.

“Then why am I not wearing any…” I stopped, clamping the bottom fabric of this oversized button-up shirt I find myself in.

My gaze fell to my feet. In this very moment, I could smell his fresh, woody, and minty scent lingering in the air that enveloped us.

It was then that I felt Alexander touch both sides of my arm gently, lightly, as though he was holding a rare, delicate, and valuable object which made him extremely afraid of touching me, afraid I would break at some point.

He lets out a sigh, when I felt his finger lift my chin, forcing me to look at him. The very sight of his face, his eyes, his plump, dangerously sexy lips, knocking the air right out of me without so much of a warning.

“Listen to me, Eleanor. I would never force nor do anything to hurt you. You were drugged last night, you don’t remember?” He lowers his body to match my height, gripping my arms beneath his calloused hands ever so gently. My long, thick lashes fluttering as I examined his expression.

“I was?” My head tilted and he mirrored the gesture instantly.

He nods, slowly releasing my arms as he straightened. Once again, he stands like a mighty statue towering over me. I knitted my brows, watching him as he hung his head and arms in visible guilt and shame.

“And I let it happen, right under my nose. I promised you would always be safe under me, and now this…” He averts his gaze. Ripping his eyes off mine. Coiling his hands into two massive balls that resembled big, heavy boulders which are perfectly capable of crushing you in a single blow.

“You were burning hot, and I had my omegas strip you off your clothes and place you in the bathtub. At first everything was going well, but then the drug you had taken in your system was stronger than anticipated, and you went wild. They couldn’t get ahold of you before I came in,” He explained. I listen attentively, taking mental notes in my mind as I try to process this information being shoveled right through me.
