Rejected Slave To The Alpha by Gory Anna

Chapter 44

Chapter 44.

Nelly’s POV.

I opened my eyes, the bright morning sun streaming in through the window. I tried to move, but I was pinned down by a heavy weight on my chest. I looked down, my eyes meeting the familiar face of Alpha Kex.I remembered the previous night, the moments we had shared. My cheeks began to glow.

I reached out, gently brushing the strand of hair from his face. He looked peaceful in sleep, a sight I rarely got to see. I studied his features, the strong jawline, the long eyelashes, the full lips.

I traced the contours of his face with my fingertips, my heart beating faster with each touch. I felt something stirring within me, a longing to be closer to him.

With a swift motion he pinned me to the bed, his eyes burning with desire. I gasped, my heart pounding in my chest.

“I thought you were asleep,” I stammered, my breath coming in short gasps.

He smirked, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “You woke me up,” he said, his voice low and husky.

He leaned in close, his lips a breath away from mine. “I’m glad you did,” he whispered, his breath warm against my skin. I felt my body respond, my senses coming alive.

I couldn’t take my eyes off his lips, wanting nothing more than to feel them against mine. I reached for the front of his shirt, pulling him closer to me. But just as our lips were about to touch, the door burst open, and I saw Emily standing there, her eyes wide

with shock.

I turned, mortified, to see her staring at us, her mouth agape and her face a picture of disgust. I felt a thrill of satisfaction, knowing that she was jealous.

Alpha Kex jumped off the bed, his anger evident. “How many times have I told you to knock before entering my room?” he yelled, his voice filled with rage.

Emily turned to face him, her eyes brimming with tears. But I knew her tears were nothing more than crocodile tears, a way to gain sympathy.

I watched as she sniffled and wiped her eyes, her performance worthy of an Oscar. But

I was not fooled. I knew her true intentions, her jealousy burning bright.

Alpha Kex, ever the chivalrous one, immediately softened at her tears. “What
