Chapter 46

No Restraint

Alpha Kingsley POV

Ever since the incident at that small town, I had been very disturbed and distracted. I don’t like when things are not within my control or grasp.

I hate being kept in the dark or worse, being a pawn on the chessboard.

I’m always the player.

The mastermind.

The one in control… not the other way around.

Things were becoming too complicated and somehow interconnected at the same time, and it left a bitter taste in my mouth. It made me feel frustrated… unsettled.

And I hate that feeling.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I ended up ignoring Olivia. Even after we arrived at the sacred Ground and were ushered into Blood Manor, my mind was elsewhere.

I instructed the maids to take our things to the master bedroom.

When we got there and they left…

We just stood there.

Quiet.

Lost in our own separate worlds. The air in the room turned heavy and the world around us turned blur.

Then something inside me snapped.

Something I couldn’t place or understand.

I turned and walked straight into the bathroom. The long journey had left me a bit hoarse and tense. I needed something to clear my head.

I stayed under the water longer than necessary, letting it run down my body, trying to wash away the irritation, the pressure building inside me… but it didn’t help much.

Nothing did.

When I came out, a towel tied loosely around my waist, I immediately felt her gaze.

Hot

Heavy,

Lingering

Aslow, mischievous chuckde escaped my hips.

fcould see the blush creeping up her face, spreading across her cheeks, turning thiri hed, and 14 pludes 4 het tweet ber, pushed just enough to

And just as edpected…

She ran off

straight into the bathroom.

I laughed, low and amused, shaking my head.

How naive and cute.

Dangerous combination.

“I could kill to know what goes on in that little head of hers…” I muttered.

The sound of running water followed shortly after.

Minutes passed.

Then the door opened.

And she stepped out.

Wrapped in nothing but a towel tied around her chest. She smelled like lilies and something else I couldn’t a certain probably wildflower, it was intoxicating and I couldn’t help but inhale Sharply taking in a handful of breath.

At first, I thought she was trying to get back at me.

Petty revenge.

But then it clicked.

She had rushed in earlier…

She didn’t bring any clothes.

A smirk tugged at my lips.

“Why not ask for my help?” I thought.

But I already knew the answer.

She would rather die of embarrassment.

She stood there, frozen, clutching the edge of the towel tightly like it was the only thing keeping her grounded.

Nervous.

Like a child caught doing something wrong.

And yet

There was nothing innocent about what she was doing to me.

My wolf groaned inside me at the sight

Her thighs

Her legs

The way the towel clung to her darup skin

Her hair still slightly wet, strands falling over her shoulders

Her body, sult, ful), unapologetically horen,

Avid damu

alt

It didn’t hide anything.

One thing baffled me.

People called her fat.

Ugly. Unworthy.

But what I saw…

Was something else entirely.

There was a charm to her.

A pull.

Something raw and real that no so-called “perfect” body could match.

She might not fit the standard definition of beauty…

But her presence?

Her aura?

It demanded attention.

Respect.

Desire.

I had always hidden behind the excuse of the mate bond.

But standing here now…

Watching her…

I knew better.

1 was already gone.

“When… did I fall for my plus-size mate?”

She wasn’t slender like Kate.

Not delicate like the others.

But she was..

Irresistible.

As she tried to move toward the closet, she stumbled.

Of course clumsy

Always when I’m around

Before she could steady herself

The towel slipped.

Fell

A low tug on the floor of the room.

The room went completely silent

Dead.

Like time itself had paused.

She stood there.

Bare.

Exposed.

Every curve… every inch… laid out before me.

And I-

I couldn’t look away.

I had seen countless naked women before.

Different shapes.

Different sizes.

None of them…Looked like this or felt like this.

We stood there, locked in place.

Something snapped inside me.

Heat surged low in my body, fast and uncontrollable.

Before I even realized it I had already moved.

Closed the distance.

Pulled her into me.

And claimed her lips.

Hard

The kiss wasn’t gentle. It wasn’t patient.

It was everything I had been holding back.

Hunger

Desire,

Possession

The memory of that interrupted monsent in the caretage

The train

The Teatralor

All of it broke berie and HOW

She responded Instaly

Like she had been waiting.

Her body melted into mine, her lips parting, giving me full access…. full control.

Her hands moved over me-

Clumsy.

Exploring.

Hungry in their own way.

And that…

That did something to me.

Something dangerous.

Argon stirred violently inside me.

Excited.

Encouraging and pushing.

“Take her.”

I should have stopped.

I should have thought about the consequences.

The enemies.

The curse.

Everything waiting outside these walls.

But at that moment…

None of it mattered.

Not the danger.

Not the darkness.

Not even the upcoming election.

Damn it….I didn’t care

All I wanted… Was her.

To feel her.

To take her completely

To clain what was already mine.

And nor that thought settled, There was no going back.

No restraint

No control

Only lur.
