price of pride

Chapter 11 The sound of my footsteps was an echo. I was even hearing it tingle in my ears. Orion now had a fortress. Suddenly, the large door flared open. I began to stare at my new chamber. It was a very beautiful place and the silver doorknob on the side of his house slammed behipnd me like a cage closing around me.My eyes started blurrig and I was seeing objects appearing larger before me.Two years before now, I had formally renounced our bond and made fun of him.But the bond felt as alive as ever as it hit my ribs like a large fire, making me forget my regret and the unwanted desire was really brewing at the base of my stomach.I walked into the room and stopped.Orion was waiting for me right before the fireplace, a large figure with a feeling of superiority surrounding him.As he blinked, and his eyeballs were fixed on me, I almost fell to the floor. "LIAISON," he exclaimed, pronouncing my title as if it were a curse. I turned my gaze to the floor as he kept yelling at me with tha

I gasped… and I turned my eyes up to the clouds. The full moon shed its light through the spaces of the window. It made me feel reluctant to go anywhere, making it hard to pretend that the morning light wasn’t there at all. My skin was warm under it. It was like a soft fashion to rest on. I started turning around, shaking my head and unable to stand still for long periods of time. The heat I had spent years snubbing… The heat of the bond returned right as Orion stepped back into my life. Now, it would always be there, and present.My breath stopped for a second, as if my body had been stiffened by ice. Orion’s scent sank deeper into my skin again, and the smell was heavier with every breath, sweet scent that filled up in the air. I snapped, trying to calm down, but it was useless. My heart was beating faster than usual, and I held my chest, that was beating very loud.Finally, the door flared open. There was no soft knock. I had no hint whoever was there… I guess something was about to

The summit hall started buzzing… Something was going to happen. The tension started. I sat right beside Orion, even though his orders had made it clear I belonged at his side, not anywhere else. My father, Elder Lynx, wouldn’t even look at me. His face was covered with shame.When it was time for break, a rival Alpha the eastern border leaned in too close to me. His voice was soft this time… as if he was tasting every word that came out of his mouth. “A beauty like you deserves better than a savage king, Lady Lynx.”I didn’t say anything. He repeated, his voice breaking perhaps because of what he had seen coming. “A beauty like you… really deserves…” Before I could pull away from the Alpha, a deep and low growl escaped his mouth through the air into the room. I sneezed hard. It was Orion. In one quick move, he caught my wrist and drew me very high up and led me to the next chamber. Afterwards, the door shut behind us.“You are mine,” he snapped, his word claiming me. “Everything on your

Then very fast, Orion opened the door and tapped my shoulders. “Let us go back into the hall!” I was shocked.…Conversations moved on and then continued again, as if everyone had been waiting for permission to whisper. Heads kept turning as whispers continued to spread too quickly to stop.Orion blinked and I shook my head with pride of owning myself to him.Suddenly, the rival Alpha’s eyes met mine again. His glare was clearer this time, but it had a feeling of disapproval that nearly looked like he was still expecting me to understand him. But then, I turned away.The rival Alpha looked away at once, his face turning red as he set his eyes on Orion again. I smiled, but I tried to control myself.‘Mock the rival Alpha well,’ my wolf stirred in me. ‘He must be such a great enemy… He only wants to touch your body and that will be very dangerous. Watch out!’‘Don’t scare me!’ I yelled back with my mind link so nobody would hear me.‘He is just a play rogue,’ I replied then I flinched.Orion tap

"No," I finally opened my mouth, speaking fast. My hands reached out to touch his broad chest. "I was only worried about keeping the warriors safe. Cain has witches with him. He uses dark spells… We have to be careful!”Orion snickered, and grabbed me by the wrists and forced them to my side. "Let him bring his witches. He cannot stop my savage blood with his fake magic, and you, Ava, are the one who will help me destroy him!"I flinched. Me? Destroy Cain? Then suddenly, Orion bent down, and kissed my neck where I had the mark, making me sniff in thick air sharply. Afterwards, he reset a table before the both of us. “I… ish… n!” I snorted, my chest beating fast for the slight pain I felt. “Can’t you hold in for just a few seconds?” Orion yelled back, smiling at me. My breath stopped for a while. My body began to melt as soon as he touched me. It was crazy how much I desired him, and how much I needed him to touch my body. ‘He will soon fuck you!’ My wolf stirred in me, making my head

The campsite had fallen silent.Most of the Betas had slept off after the celebration was held to mark our victory. I lay in Orion’s big bed, tucked into the privacy of his tent as my body felt warm and soft as we got attached to a tree.Then after a few hours, I began to feel bored. “Orion, why are you sleeping off?” I kept muttering those words as if I was also going to reply to myself. ‘Hold on,’ my wolf warned. ‘Let him sleep for a a little while…” I turned my head from right to the left. Orion yawned and woke up. “My only sweetheart… sweet Luna.” “I felt your soft eyes as they were close,” I said, pointing a finger at him. ….Orion brought me to another place after our first bout. His thick, strong arms clutched me tightly to him and for a few seconds, the cold High Alpha was forgotten. He appeared to be gentle.It seems he had forgotten all about Cain.It appears he lost track of the war. As of now, only both of us matter in the world… right there. Orion pasted a soft kiss on my shou
