Chapter 147 -Maya's POV- The shorrifying nightmare had been plaguingfor the past three days. It always started the sway - Alex. His touch was electric, sending shivers down my spine and awakening a fire withinthat I had almost forgotten existed. But then, in a horrifying twist, his face would morph into Ivan's, his touch turning repulsive, making my skin crawl. I'd wake up with a gasp, heart pounding against my ribs, the sheets tangled arounddamp with sweat.

The thought of Ivan's touch, his kisses, filledwith a sickening dread. Every moment I had spent with him burned into my memory. I just wanted everything to be over, to erase that part of my life.

Adding to the turmoil withinwas the strange absence of Alex. It had been five days since I'd last seen him. Every tI called, his response remained the sa monotonous reassurance that he was fine, dealing with something, and would be back soon, laced with a heavy dose of "I miss you so much." But the words rang hollow, devoid of the warmth and sincerity I was accustomed to.

With a sigh that seemed to carry the weight of the world, I threw off the covers and dragged myself out of bed. The twins' room was my first stop. They were both fast asleep, but the sight that greetedsent a pang of worry through my heart. Usually, they were curled up together, a testament to their unbreakable bond. Today, however, Ivy occupied one corner of the bed, Nate the other. Since I had introduced them to Alex, this had becthe new normal. It seemed they had adopted opposing stances on accepting him into their lives. Another sigh escaped my lips as I left the room, their unspoken rejection adding to the burden I already carried. The familiar serenity of the lake beckoned, and I found myself drawn to its calming presence. Reaching the grassy bank, I sank down, the cool grass a welccontrast to the turmoil within me. Closing my eyes, I reached out with my mind, the silent call echoing through the depths of my being.

"Hey," my voice emerged as a hesitant whisper.

A comforting presence filled my mind, her voice as familiar as my own heartbeat. "Hey, Amaya," She greeted me, but a beat of silence followed her words, then a question laced with concern, "He'll be back soon. He won't abandon us again." A flicker of hope sparked within me, but it was quickly extinguished by the lingering voice of doubt. I stared down at the sparkling diamond ring nestled in my hand, a constant reminder of the promise that hung in the balance. Ivan's taunts echoed in the recesses of my mind, his cruel words from the tof my kidnapping. I desperately clung to the belief that they were nothing but manipulations, but lately, his words had gained a disturbing power. Especially with the nightmare feeding the insecurities they ignited.

"Do you think I'm not a likeable person?" the question tumbled out of my lips, an echo of the doubt gnawing at my soul.

My wolf's amusement resonated within me,,mth that chased away the cold tendrils of self-doubt. Amaya, she chides ge heart on your sleeve. Sometimes it might lead you down unexpected paths, but it's also your greatest strength. You prioritize your heart, and while that might not be the most practical approach in every situation, it makes you who you are. Anyone who has a heart can understand the sacrifices love demands. Love is the very essence of life, Amaya. Everyone craves it, and you give it freely. How could anyone not like you?" A small smile curved my lips at her insightful words. Her unwavering belief in me, her unwavering confidence in the power of love, brought much-needed wave of comfort.

"Thank you," I whispered, the words heavy with gratitude.

a "He will be back, Amaya. Soon," her voice echoed with reassuring certainty before the connection faded, leavingalone with the renewed hope blooming in my chest. I closed my eyes, the gentle lapping of the water a soothing melody against the backdrop of the chirping birds. The weight of the past few days may have threatened to crush me, but my wolf's words had served as a lifeline, pullingback from the brink of despair.

Alex would be back. I had to believe it.

I lingered by the lake for a moment longer, the cool air calming the storm within me. With a sigh, I turned and headed back towards the house, the familiar weight of the unanswered questions settling on my shoulders. Sleep, a precious commodity these past few days, seemed like a distant dream. Nevertheless, I knew I needed to try, As I crawled into bed, my mind inevitably drifted back to the nightmare. The beginning, the part that had initially seduced me, played on repeat. The way Alex's touch had sent shivers down my spine, the way his hands had awakened a forgotten part of me, a yearning I hadn't even realized existed.

The memory felt so real, so vivid, it was almost intoxicating and before I knew it, my hands slipped between my legs.

"Do you trust me?" Alex whispered and without another thought I nodded. He gavea smile that did nothing to cover up the lust in his gaze then wrapped his tie around my hand, binding them then without another word, he pushedon top of the bed.

ICH I let out a gasp when he pulled my tied hands upwards, binding them to the headboard. Then I realized that this wasn't a dream. It was happening right now, and I wanted it to last forever.

"I need you to listen carefully," he whispered, his voice sounding oddly far away as if coming from somewhere else. "When I tell you to come, I want you to think of me." 1/2 Chapter 147 At that moment, I decided I would never get enough of him. " Do you understand?" "Yes," I breathed.

+5 He dropped to his knees, spreading my legs kissingabove my lace panties that was already soaked. I tried to push myself towards him, I needed more. He didn't answer me, taking things at his own pace then I did it again, this time, his teeth digging into my skin.

I gasped, "Alex." He looked up atwith a devilish look, and I lost all my breath. "You will take what I give you," he whispered, a glint in his eyes as he stood up. “You know why Amaya?" He asked as he took off his belt, “Because you are mine." Then before I could process it, he ripped my pants off and buried his face between my legs.

His tongue circled my clit before diving deep inside me. "Please, Alex," I begged as he sucked hard.

He stopped the moment I felt my walls start to clench, "Not yet. You have to wait forto say it. Not a second sooner or I will stop." As he spoke, he sucked my clit once more, the pleasure radiating through every nerve in my body.

"You're mine, aren't you?" he growled, licking his lips. I nodded, my whole body tensed.

"Say it," he demanded.

"Yours," I breathed.

"Good girl," he whispered before replacing his mouth with his fingers.

He started thrusting in and out while sucking my clit. My orgasm built quickly as he pumped faster and faster. "Come," he commanded. And just like that, I exploded. I screamed his name, my nails scratching the bed. "That's it, baby, cfor me," he growled before pulling my panties off my feet and tossing them on the floor. He moved in between my legs, resting his chin on my chest.

When his eyes met mine, they were filled with a desire so strong it madetremble. He leaned down, kissingslowly, slipping his tongue inside my mouth until I opened wide, makingtaste myself.

He kissedas if there was no tomorrow. Our tongues danced together, fighting for control. He broke the kiss, looking into my eyes, "Are you ready for me?" I nodded eagerly.

He chuckled, "Then showhow much you want me." I blushed, not sure what he meant but then he got up and lifted my leg, placing my foot on his shoulder. He positioned himself at my entrance and pushed in in one single hard thrust. “So tight,” groaned.

I bit my lip as he started moving inand out, fuckingrelentlessly "Give it to me, Amaya, he demanded.

I knew exactly what he wanted. He wantedto con his cock. He wantedto cfor him. So, I closed my eyes, concentrating on the feeling of him inside me. Then, it happened. I cso hard, I couldn't see straight.

Tears rushed to my eyes, and I cried out, my fantasy slipping into reality as I call over my hands.

Just then the door to the room burst open and I quickly tried to cover myself as Riley burst in with wide eyes, "I've been calling you, Amaya. We need to go. Now." I immediately cdown from the high of the post orgasm, pushing myself out of bed, "Why were you calling?" "Christian called. Something bad has happened to Alex." X
