Chapter 24: Maddeningly Enchanted

Orville’s POV:

I didn’t know what thought had come over me at that moment as I asked her something which was an unimaginable deed. She was a black slave gifted to me by Her Royal Majesty, who set the rules for the slaves herself. Now…if I ask her this question, doesn’t it seem as if I am defying the royalty itself? Have I really gone insane?

It had been almost three weeks since I had held Kara in my embrace, spending the best night of my whole life. But the guilt and remorse that I had experienced the next day made me decide it would be wise to stay apart from her, at least for the time being. My wolf didn’t agree with my decision and nagged at me for letting him forcibly stay apart from her, but I didn’t have any spare choice.

Kara was of my son’s age, and how could I be possibly sane to admit before her since that night, my body has been maddeningly seeking her touch as well? Her beautiful face reddened with arousal, her soft moans under my body…every time I would recall those moments, I would struggle to calm down the giant erections I had down below.

After I was done with my training, I would often book an inn for myself but preferred to stay away from the manor. I was mindful enough to increase the dose of my rut suppressants, but I don’t understand why my body would still sometimes feel overheated.

My wolf was desperately seeking her…but I had to hide it from everyone, including Kara herself. I was certain that night must have been traumatic for her…so by further approaching her, I didn’t want to make her hate me more.

But now when I came into my room today, at first it seemed like a dreamy scenery. Plastered with a soft smile on her face, Kara was seated on the couch and so deeply focused on the Spanish book that she didn’t even realize walking me inside. As expected after finding out, she grew a little nervous, but in her pitch-black eyes, I could sense her yearning for me.

But how could that be possible? Yes, I am surely mistaken…

However, while talking about study and school, her dim eyes lit up with a radiant smile that had left me spellbound for a moment. She seemed so beautiful and delicate, like a pretty little flower in my garden. But as soon as she finished talking about it, her eyes darkened with the usual sadness, and it seemed as if she was about to cry!

I couldn’t resist myself anymore as I moved closer and cupped her face gently with my right palm. She flinched a little from my touch but didn’t refuse me. When I wiped the tears lingering on her long black eyelashes, my mouth unknowingly uttered those words, which were forbidden itself!

Kara looked a bit surprised by my question, but she didn’t scowl at me. Quietly she leaned her head down and addressed in a gloomy voice, “But…I do not have the right for education. I am just a back slave of this manor now, Master. But it was very kind of you to ask me that…”

I don’t know why, but my heart felt stifled with a sharp ache when I saw turning glum. She was so radiantly happy just a while ago while talking about her early life…but now…

Only if she wasn’t considered as a black slave…only if I wasn’t the future Alpha of Rock Crescent pack…if our circumstances were different, could I have made her happier?

Kara noticed me staring intensely into her which made her feel a little uneasy. When she tried to break free from my hand that had held her face, my instincts acted on their own and I moved further close to eliminate the bare minimum gap between our bodies.

My heart was thumping crazily fast standing near her after almost 3 weeks. I vividly felt the soft peach scent emitting from her, but upon reaching a little closer, I sensed an unusual scent also emitting from her which was a little similar to my pheromone.

Not only the strange new discovery made me curious, but it flared up my instincts to run wild when I also saw her gazing at me with a deep yearning in her orbs.

*“Kiss her…I want to kiss her right now… I want to make her mine…” *

The words brazenly echoed in my head as if my wolf had taken control of my rational senses. I waited for a second thinking if she would push me away, but when I saw her pale white face turning flustered instead, I couldn’t stop myself my hunching my neck down to kiss her soft lips.
