Chapter 18: _This Is Really Happening

Chapter 18: _This Is Really Happening (Warning: Mature Content Ahead) I got extra anxious when Beta Marcellus finally led me to the front door of Kaelos' office. On our way here, most of the staff we saw gave me weird looks because of the tomato stains on my dress and body. Whatever reasons Kaelos has for summoning me abruptly better be good! "Good luck." Marcellus gave me a wink before he proceeded to walk away, leaving me alone in front of the door. I gulped, placing my hand on my chest and trying to calm myself. "He's my husband. H– He wouldn't do anything to hurt me." I muttered to myself, raising my right hand and getting ready to knock. However, just when my knuckle was about to make contact with the door, I paused, getting hit by a wave of anxiety that left me paralyzed. I stepped back, scanning my gaze around the hallway for any signs of people. Maybe I could just run away without– "Odessa!" Kaelos' domineering voice boomed from the other end of the door, causing me to jerk in surprise. "I know you're out there. Come in before I drag you in." I clenched my jaw, glaring at the door as if it were the cause of my predicament. That bloody son of a bitch... Without another moment of hesitation, I placed my hand on the doorknob and pushed the door open, stepping into the office. The office was brightly lit, and at the end of it was Kaelos's desk, with Kaelos sitting on top of it with his arms folded in front of his chest. He tilted his head as soon as I stepped in, his eyes scrutinizing me curiously before his nose scrunched up. "I can see you had some fun today." He muttered with a snigger, definitely referring to the tomato stains on my body. I gave him a sarcastic smile before rolling my eyes and placing my arms in front of my body. "Well, you summoned me, dear husband. Is there something I can help you with?" I asked. Kaelos remained oddly quiet, his silver eyes glinting with unknown emotions as he stared at me for an unconformably prolonged period. I couldn't help but look away, staring at the lights on the ceiling before glancing at some black couches in a corner. That weird feeling in my chest whenever I saw him was present again, as well as that voice in my head whispering to me to step forward and kiss him. But I held myself back, drawing in deep breaths as I kept my gaze away from Kaelos. "Why are you so tense?" He asked all of a sudden, causing me to reluctantly turn my gaze back to him. I arched an eyebrow when I saw the amused smirk on his face, causing me to respond with contempt. "I don't know... Probably because you keep staring at me like a slab of meat." Kaelos remained silent at first, the amused expression still on his face. However, he soon shook his head and chuckled dryly, causing my eyebrows to knit into a frown. Suddenly, he stopped laughing and stepped away from his desk, walking slowly toward me. "You can deny it all you want to yourself, but don't even think about denying it in my presence." He remarked. I gulped anxiously, but for some odd reason, even though I wanted to do nothing more than flee away from him... My body seemed to have a mind of its own and remained rooted to the spot. Kaelos smirked when he scrutinized my body language. Irritation surged through me as I blurted. "Deny what? That you're a psychopathic creep?" Kaelos' paused when I said that, his head tilting as he dimmed his eyes. I tensed up, wondering what was going through his mind. Was I testing my luck with him a little too much? "A psychopath? Hon, trust me, if you think I'm psychopathic, then you don't know the meaning of the word." He scoffed, finally getting a few inches in front of me. His cologne wafted into my nose, causing my body to shudder in response. I stared up at him, gazing into his piercing silver eyes and getting lost in them. At that same moment, Kaelos raised his right hand and parted aside some strands of my hair before he whispered. "You're denying what you feel. You're denying... You're denying the mate bond." I fluttered my eyelids but was speechless about what to say. The last time when he got this close to me, I got uncomfortable because I didn't understand what I was feeling. Well, I still didn't quite understand what I was feeling, but one thing is certain. I wanted to kiss the handsome hunk in front of me. Fortunately... or unfortunately, it seemed he felt the same way as he leaned closer, his gaze going from my eyes to my lips until our lips met in a passionate kiss that took my breath away. I couldn't help myself from moaning softly, wrapping my arms around his neck as he brought his hands to my waist and pulled my body closer to his. My heart thumped anxiously against my chest, but I knew I wanted this. The way Kaelos kissed me as if his life depended on it made me realize how deep our feelings ran. 'Could it really be a mate bond? Am I mated to a werewolf?' I thought to myself but those thoughts soon dissipated when Kaelos brought his hands to my chest. I was surprised at how he was kissing me even with the tomato stains on my body, and now he wanted to take off my clothes? My mouth curled up into a smirk as he finally pulled away from the kiss, staring into my eyes with a burning desire that made my knees wobble. "I've wanted to do this since the first second I saw you." He blurted, looking into my eyes. My heart fluttered, a warm feeling surging around my body. Was that affection I saw in his eyes, or am I tripping? Unfortunately, whatever affection flashed through his eyes merely lasted two seconds and got replaced by an almost predatory intensity as he brought his hands to my dress. Suddenly, without warning, he ripped the dress, causing me to gasp as he got a full view of my body, which was still slightly hidden by my bra and underwear. "Perfection..." He muttered with a slight smirk curling up the corner of his lips before he began trailing kisses down my neck. This was really happening. I'm about to fuck the Alpha King in his office.
