My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance by Moonlight Muse

11. My Decision

CHARLENE

I hadn‘t been able to sleep all night. Alpha Hunter seemed to have been satisfied with my response and had ordered for wine to be brought in celebration of my agreement. I ran my fingers through my hair, watching the men train far below, lost in thought. I hadn‘t gone to breakfast this morning, unable to face him.

I had gotten dressed in a black dress, with a plunging neckline and a flared umbrella skirt, but all I wanted to do was get into bed and hide from the world, so I could have some time to comprehend and digest everything that had happened. 1

Raiden and Gamma Grayson had mind linked to ask if I was ok, which I had cheerily told them I was.

Living in this place... so far from everything I was used to, was going to be different. I had always thought Westerfell would always be my home...

I sighed heavily. Hunter wasn‘t a bad person, and he was handsome.

I blushed at the realisation that getting married also meant... My heart thumped, my cheeks burning even more at the idea of being intimate with him.

My stomach felt funny, and when there was a knock on the door, I jumped in alarm.

| exhaled. Walking over to it and smoothing my skirt, I opened the door.

My heart skipped a beat at the sight of the tall muscular man before me. His hair was sleeked back and tied; it was obvious he had just showered from the smell of the woody shampoo that mixed with his own scent. He was dressed in a black shirt and brown pants, and he was currently smirking slightly.

Did he always have that look on his face?

“Alpha Hunter...” I said, smiling politely

“Princess Charlene.” He replied, almost sounding mocking.

Was he teasing me?

“Can I help you?” I asked, tucking my hair behind my ear and looking down to avoid his intense gaze.

To my utter dismay, my gaze fell on the front of his pants, to the very noticeable bulge that was packed away. My cheeks burned as I looked up at him, only to see that small smirk had become a full–blown grin.

Oh my Goddess, he had seen where my attention had fallen!

“Uhh, I didn‘t mean help like that! Can–can I ask why you are here?” | asked, knowing my entire face was flushed. 2

He stepped closer and I jumped back, my heart thumping as pressed my lips together. He bent down slightly, until his lips were close to my ear.

“I would tease... but I don‘t think your fellow pack members will appreciate me having an unconscious princess in my hold.” He growled huskily, his fingers running through my hair. He chuckled, moving back, and I let out the breath I was holding. My heart thundering extremely loudly. “Fear not princess, I‘m only here to ask how you are, since you did not come for breakfast. Are you nervous?”

Nervous? Of course I was nervous! I was going to get married! I had made the decision myself... It felt strange, usually someone or other always made decisions for me.
