"Are you sure you want to do this?" Joy sighed, and looked at me for any sign that I wanted to back down and head back to my room.
"No, I'll go in," I smiled at her, looking at the door before me. "The earlier I bear him an heir, the earlier I get to go home."
She nodded and walked away. I took a deep breath and tried to knock, but the door flew open, and my entire body went to a halt.
I was looking at the most handsome guy I had ever seen in my entire life. He had a sharp, defined jawline, muscles that I could see through his shirt, and, of course, those furrowed eyebrows that looked furious. His lips were moving, but I heard nothing.
"Are you deaf?" He growled this time, his anger palpable. "What do you want?"
I inhaled, gathering my courage, and finally spoke up, "I am your wife, and today is our honeymoon,"
He twitched his eyebrow in surprise, but then held the door wide and gestured for me to come in.
I took a hesitant step forward, still standing by the door, while he went to the big bed and sat down. I stared at him nervously, taking in the grandeur of his room. It was much larger than mine. In seconds, he pulled off his red shirt, revealing a scar beside his breast and his well-defined abs.
"What's...what are you doing?" I stammered, unable to look at his face.
"You said tonight was our honeymoon, did you not?" He said up from the bed and folded his arms, his entire focus on me now.
"Yes, but I..." My voice trailed off as I struggled to find the right words.
He took a step closer, closing the distance between us. His presence was overwhelming, his gaze intense.
"Undress," He commanded, his voice thick with authority. He walked closer to me and placed his hand on the wall above me. I tried so hard to focus on his face and not on his abs that were popping from his body.
"Excuse me?" I had to find my voice again after staring at him for what seemed like hours. I slipped from under his arms that were above my head.
Okay, that is wrong. I tried to, but before I could completely move away, he placed his other hand and trapped me in.
"What on earth do you think you are doing?" I glared hard at him, trying to hide my fear.
He twisted his head to a corner as if observing me.
"I asked you to do something, why are you still fully clothed?" His voice was surprisingly calm, but I could sense the deep power it held.
My wolf felt completely helpless with him like that. I understood her; he was the Alpha after all.
"You didn't come to the wedding, why?" I questioned, ignoring his earlier statement. I would understand if my wolf was scared of him, but I had no reason to be scared. I had every reason to be angry.
"Who do you think you are talking to in that manner?" He snarled at me and removed his hands from the stance that entrapped me.
"Apologize now, Enisa, apologize!" Sky cried inside me, but I mentally told her to keep quiet.
"I can make sure that this will be the last breath you'd take, and no one wouldn't say a damn word about it, do you know that?" His voice was getting heated up and angry now. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up frightened, as if reacting to him.
"Undress or I'll do it for you." He folded his arms again and looked at me as if daring me to disobey his command. "Maybe it will make you think twice about barging into my room in your life again."
I took in deep breaths and slowly moved my hands to my buttons. It was all my fault. I came to this room for this, so why does it feel like I'm being forced?
Before I could move to the third button, which would have exposed my breasts, a rushed knock came through his door, and the person came in immediately, not waiting for his approval.
"Oh," The man who stood for Dracula with me at the altar came to a halt when he saw my hands on my button and Dracula's furious eyes on him.
"This better be fucking worth it, Kyle, or your head would be on a stake." Dracula glared.
Is he always this angry and aggressive, or is it just me?
"I'm sorry, it is about the baby," Kyle said in a rush, and Dracula's angry eyebrows deflated to a sad and disappointed one.
"Leave," He turned angrily to me. "And if I ever see your face here without you being summoned, I will kill you."
He finished, but I was already outside the hall. I didn't wait for him to finish. I didn't want him to.
All that filled my head was the news that Kyle man brought. What baby were they talking about?
Did Dracula have another baby? A wife perhaps?
"Oh my..." Joy sighed sadly as I walked through the hallway to the room.
"What happened here?" She stopped and began searching my body for any marks of violence.
I thought she said the alpha wasn't violent.
"Well, nothing. I just want to take a run in my wolf form." I signed, and she nodded. I had no intention of telling her how I completely disgraced myself.
********************
"Thanks, Anessa," I smiled at her as I admired the beautiful woods she had shown me. It was a bit far from the mansion, and they had to drive me there and wait for me to finish so they could take me home.
"Anytime, Mrs.," She bowed a little. "This space is conserved for just the alpha, but I guess since you're his wife, it's yours too."
"Are you sure I won't bump into him here?" I spoke up quickly. After our last encounter, I don't think I'd want to see him again.
"Yes, Master Dracula is rarely here, only when he wants to clear his head, but not today,"
She smiled. But then, I remembered she said the same thing about his coming home.
I hope for everyone's sake, she is right this time.
