Page 111 of Rejected and Pregnant By the Alpha King

Unless…

Unless Nyx ends up avoiding me again.

Moving over to my window that faces toward the town, I watch the Soleus pack mill about on the streets below. Nyx avoiding me, while it would hurt, is probably for the best considering the current situation.

I could most likely convince Rose to bring my meals up to my room to avoid any suspicious glances from her brother, and dodge any questions she has for me by blaming it on my pregnancy.

Hell, maybe I can even stay up here for the rest of the seven-and-a-half months by faking being ill just enough to not leave my bed. Eris will most likely be called to come check on me, but I can handle her no problem.

I can’t believe I kissed Nyx.

I’m so stupid, giving into my desires like that. What was I even thinking? My body had been moving before I could even stop it. I could lie to myself and say that I only wanted Nyx because he cared for me in a way no one else has in my life.

Or even pretend like my attraction to him is solely based on his looks alone.

Unfortunately, I’d totally be lying to myself. But what else is new?

Letting out a groan, my forehead touches the window softly when I rest my head on it. Hopefully I’ll be left alone for the rest of the—

The door to my room is suddenly flung open, a gust of air bursting around the modest space. Whipping around, my hand flies to my heart out of shock.

There, Nyx stands in the doorway, looking furious.

My body instantly presses back against the glass, trying to shrink even though his eyes are pinned right on me. Fuck, he’s here to drag me out of this room and back to the border, already tired of my antics.

Do I blame him? No, not at all. What person who’s been taken in by a pack alpha—no, a fuckingalpha king—takes advantage of that in the stupidest way possible? Not only did I overstep a major line, I’d done so while he was injured.

I’d been crying over him possibly succumbing to his wounds and then I jumped him the second he woke up?

Nyx leaves the doorway, the door swinging shut behind him ominously. His steps are slow while he makes his way across the room to where I am, ever the predator stalking his trapped prey.

My heart is hammering so hard in my chest that I’m sure he can hear it too. When he finally stops in front of me, we’re only about a foot and a half apart.

He stares at me for a long moment, not saying anything and only making this growing tension worse.

“N-Nyx—”

“Why?” is all he says.

Why?Why what?

Shaking my head, I say, “Why what?”

His gaze darts to my mouth while both of his brows pull together. “Why…did you do that.”

Oh gods.

Of all the fucking questions he could’ve possibly asked me? It had to be that one right out of the gate?

I could be truthful and tell him that I’ve begun to find myself wildly attracted to him, however I doubt that’s going to do anything but disgust him. I mean, look at me. Pregnant with another alpha’s baby and coming from a lower-class pack with nothing to show for myself.

How pathetic.

“I…” Swallowing, my mouth feels full of cotton. There’s no way I can be honest with him. That’s just asking for trouble.

My eyes widen when he grabs my chin and lifts my head up, backing me farther into the glass while his hips pin me there. My sex throbs with want, his body pressed close against mine, driving me wild.

Even if I wasn’t pregnant, I think I’d still be like this—practically salivating over him.
