Chapter 140 My name on his chest
Alpha Eric’s POV
I went for the phone, opened it and saw that it was a text from Sophie. With a murmur, I opened the text and felt anger run through my body the moment I read the message.
“You have until three days to agree to my request, and if you don’t, you know what would happen.” I read it out as my entire body throbbed with anger.
With a grunt, I left the couch, slightly opened the door and left the room. I went back to my room, dialed her number and waited for it to be picked.
“How dare you?” I yelled the moment the call was picked.
“Oh please, don’t use such tones on me.” she replied with no atom of fear, different from the submissive Sophie I knew.
“You dare threaten me.” I yelled.
“Call it whatever you want, it’s either you agree to my terms or you will never see your son again, and so you know, he already has weird abilities, and you know what that means.” she added.
Her words made me speechless and weak, and I hated it. “Where is he? I need to see him, he could be dangerous for himself and the people around him.” I pleaded, hoping she would understand.
“You don’t have to worry about that, do your part of the deal, and you would be one step closer to meeting him, and remember it’s just three days remaining.” she declared and ended the call on me.
“Shit.” I grunted out in anger while scattering my hair with my both hands.
Sophie knew I would do anything to see this boy, she knew he was my weak point, and she was using it against me.
Angrily, I dialed a number on my phone. It rang a few times before it was picked.
“Good evening, alpha.” he greeted.
“What did you find?” I asked, impatient.
“I was about calling you. Should I forward it to your email?” he asked.
”Just tell me what you found.” I asked curiously.
“We could only find pictures of the boy and a birth certificate of him,” he explained. “Nothing else.” I asked as I tiredly rubbed my hand on my face. “Unfortunately, nothing, sir.” he responded.
I sighed in anger and massaged the back of my neck. “Send the pictures of what you found to my email.” I said and ended the call.
With anger, I hit the phone on my left palm as I aimlessly walked around the room.
I can’t see myself having sex with Sophie. I haven’t been able to have sex with anyone for the past two years, and now Sophie was threatening me with it.
There were times I looked forward to having a good time with Sophie, there were times I loved having sex with her, but all that ended the day I fell for Victoria. Now, having sex with Sophie or any other woman feels like torture to me.
With a frustrated sigh, I sat on my bed and roughly scattered my hair as I thought of a way to find that child. That boy was my child, and she knew I would do anything just to see him.
After so much thinking, I left my room, went back to Victoria’s room and was glad I met her still sleeping. I checked the time and realized it was already past 10pm.
Quietly, I sat on the couch and fixed my gaze on her.
She is the most important thing in my life, but I don’t know how she would react if I start telling her things, things that might look strange and scary to her.
”Go to bed.” My wolf suggested. I left the couch, took off my jeans and climbed on the bed. I pulled her to myself, placed a kiss on her forehead before whispering words into her ear. “I love you.” I whispered sincerely before closing my eyes.
Victoria’s POV
I opened my eyes as I felt hot breath all over my body. With a frown, I tried to move my body, but noticed a stronger one was holding me down.
Confused, I struggled looking up and realized it was Eric. “Shit.” I whispered, closed my eyes and tried to remember how he got here, but I couldn’t remember a thing.
Gradually, I tried moving away from him, but his grip on me was too tight. Quietly, I tried again, and this time I was successful. I breathed in relief and moved to the other side of the bed. I sat on the bed and tried leaving the bed, but then I heard Eric’s voice behind me. “And where are you going?” he asked in a deep, sleepy voice.
Nervously, I gulped and jerked my head in his direction. “Good morning.” I murmured and shyly looked away.
“Morning, how are you feeling?” he asked.
“I’m fine.” I replied quickly and left the bed. I moved my gaze to him and noticed he was still lying on the bed with his two hands at the back of his neck, while his black hair was roughly scattered on his face.
I gulped and looked away when I noticed he caught me staring. “Why was I feeling so cold last night?” I asked,
He sighed and arranged his hair with his fingers. “Don’t worry about it.” he smiled at me, removed the blanket from his body, and stood up from the bed.
“Shit.” I blurted out shocked, and turned my back to him.
“Why are you naked?” I murmured to myself, but he heard me.
“I’m not naked, I’m putting on underwear.” he said with a soft chuckle while I rolled my eyes but didn’t look back at him.
“Please put something on.” I grumbled.
He did not give me a reply. Rather, I heard movement behind me.
“You can turn around.” He spoke after a few seconds.
Hearing those words from him, I slowly turned around and saw he was just putting on jeans with no shirt on. I gulped nervously as I stared at his muscular body. His body was muscular at the right places, no hair on his chest and a flat stomach. Just like Prince Liam, he had a tattoo on his left chest, a write-up that I couldn’t read.
Curious, I moved closer to him, stood before him and placed my right fingers on his left chest. I ran my fingertips on the write-up and wondered what the words meant.
“What language is this?” I asked as I kept running my fingertips on the write-up.
“Arabic,” he answered with his eyes closed. I noticed he inhaled deeply before opening his eyes. “What does it say” I asked.
“Your name, that’s your name,” he replied and held my hand onto his chest.
“My name.” I asked while meeting his gaze.
“Yes, I did it a year ago,” he replied and flashed me a weak smile.
With strange feelings in my stomach, I moved my fingers on each letter of the word as I marveled why he would write my name on his chest.
“Stop thinking too much.” he expressed those words like he was reading my thoughts. “Go take a shower and come down for breakfast” he ran his fingers in my hair before moving away from me. “I’ll be in my room.” he picked up his shirt and shoes and left the room.
I got downstairs and met Eric already at the dining table having a cup of tea. He met my gaze and flashed me a big smile that fluttered my heart.
I walked over to the dining table, pulled out the seat opposite him and sat on it.
“How are you feeling?” he asked,
“I’m fine.” I replied with a big smile.
He smiled back at me and went back to his food. I stared at the food on the table and wondered if the food was only meant for us. “Are your men joining us?” I asked while staring at the table.
“No, why do you ask?” he asked with raised eyebrows.
“Because there is a lot of food,” I murmured while looking at the different delicacies kept on the table.
Eric chuckled at my words and said, ”Just eat.” He placed a plate in front of me, while I stared at the table one more time before picking up a spoon. I put a little potion of food into my plate and slowly eat, making sure I avoided his gaze.
We ate in silence until we were both through. “Follow me, I have something to give you.”
“What’s that?” I asked,
“Come with me, it’s nothing serious.” he smiled and left his seat.
I also left my seat and followed him upstairs to his room.
“Come in.” he opened the door and stood aside for me to go in first. I gulped nervously, stared at him for a while before going in.
I always love the scent and atmosphere in his room, it felt like his room was a whole different place.
His big bed in the center of the room was properly arranged, everything was at the right place, no sight of dirt could be seen.
“Sit.” he directed the couch to me and made me sit.
I sat on the couch and kept staring around. “Here, have it.” He gave a box to me.
“What is this?” I asked as I took the box from him and took a proper look at it.
“It’s a phone. I might not be around starting from next week. I will have to go back to the office, so I need you to have a phone, so you can call me whenever you want. And that’s a laptop, it’s yours.” he said while pointing at a brand-new Apple laptop on his desk.
“What do I need that for?” I asked,
“School, you will need it in school,” he replied.
I frowned at his words and looked away. “I told you I don’t want to be a burden to you.” I grumbled.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
He took a few steps towards me, squatted before me and cupped my face with his two hands. “You can never be a burden to me.” he expressed those words like he meant every bit of it.
“But…” he did not let me finish. “No but.” he stated those words firmly, kissed my cheeks and stood on his feet.
“You have to start preparing for your exams. There will be an exam next month. I’ll get you a private tutor by next week, so you can start immediately.” He said and sat on the bed with folded arms.
I stared at him and didn’t know what to say. His suggestion was good, but I don’t want to be dependent on him since I can’t remember a thing. What scares me the most is that I don’t even know why I ran away from him in the first place.
“I need to see my aunt.” I murmured.
“Today” he asked.
“No. Maybe tomorrow.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” He answered.
We sat in an awkward silence until I decided to ask him a few things about himself. “Your family, do they stay around?” I asked.
“Yes, dad is a few meters away, but my aunt and my little cousin are in France. They will be back in a week, “he replied.
From his words, I noticed he did not make mention of siblings or his mother, and I was curious about that.
“No siblings.”
“Unfortunately, no, Mom didn’t have the opportunity to give birth anymore.” he muttered with a weak smile on his face.
“I’m sorry.” I murmured while causing myself for asking such questions.
“It’s okay, if I don’t share it with you, who else should I do it with?” he said and left the bed.
He walked over to the bar in the corner of his room, took out two glasses and a bottle of wine. He walked back to me and handed a glass to me, which I took.
He poured some wine into my glass before filling his glass. “Cheers.” he hit his glass with mine before going back to bed.
“My birth had some complications, and mother had to lose her womb in the process,” he announced in a low tone.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered.
“It’s okay, it’s been long.” he smiled and took a sip of his drink.
“Mom died a long time ago in a plane crash coming back from London when she went for a seminar.” he shook his head and drank everything in the cup.
I stared at him and could see he was sad and at the same time angry. “I’m so sorry,” I whispered, and stood to my feet.
I knew the pain he was going through because I went through it when I lost mom. It was a painful experience and I don’t want anyone to go through it.
I sat beside him and placed my head on his shoulder. “It’s okay, wherever she is, she must be really proud of you.” I assured him and took his left hand in mine.
“I don’t want to feel that pain again, that’s why I can’t lose you.” he whispered and held my gaze.
“A day might come when you will remember everything, that day you might decide to stay with me or leave me, but I want you to know something.” he took my both hands and stared into my eyes with a piercing gaze. “I want you to know that I love you, I have always loved you and I never stopped loving you.” he said and pulled me in a tight hug.
“I don’t want to lose you, you are now part of me and I don’t think I might survive it if I lose you.” he mumbled in my ear.
I felt cold shivers run down my spine as his words buzzed in my head. Never a day has anyone said such things to me, it felt so good that my heart fluttered with happiness.
He moved away from me and looked away, but I had already caught him before he could look away.
“Look at me.” I pleaded and moved his face in my direction. I met eyes with him and noticed his eyes were filled with tears, and it took everything in him to hold them back.
“Hey.” I whispered as I ran my fingers in his hair. “I’m right here, I’m never gonna leave, and that’s a promise.” Without a second thought, I slammed my lips with his.
At first, he was surprised by the kiss and refused to move his lips, but when he noticed I needed him to do the kissing, he pulled me to himself, made me sit on his lap and kissed me so gently and passionately.
He held my waist and continued kissing me. I could feel the warmth coming from his breath, I could taste the wine in his mouth, and I loved the taste of it.
He left my lips, went for my exposed neck and slowly placed kisses on my left neck. A throaty moan left my lips when I felt his tongue on my left neck. I could tell he was directly sucking the mark on my neck and for strange reasons, I was turned on by it.
With a moan, I dip my fingers into his hair as I felt my body shivering with pleasure.
