Chapter 15 Alpha Ethan's POV I was shocked to see her in the room . I quickly grabbed a towel from the door frame and wrapped it around my waist . Her gaze was still fixed on me " What the hell are you doing here ? " I asked , my voice harsher than intended . Her eyes widened , and she flinched slightly at the tone . She clutched a tray to her chest like a shield . " 1-1 came to call the Luna for dinner , " she stammered , her voice soft , breathless . Her eyes darted nervously to the floor . " She ... she asked me to let her know when the meal was ready . " My jaw clenched . I didn't like how my heart pounded just from looking at her . She wasn't supposed to be here . And she wasn't supposed to look at me like that - like she didn't know whether to run or fall to her knees . My wolf stirred , unsettled . " Next time , " I growled , stepping closer , " you knock first . Understand ? " " Yes , Alpha , " she whispered , dipping her head . But I wasn't done with her . Not after what just happened . Not after she stood there , wide - eyed , cheeks flushed , clearly having seen all of me She may have tried to look away , but I saw the way her pupils dilated . The way her breathing quickened . It wasn't just embarrassment . It was something more . " You saw me naked , " I said , my voice low , deadly calm . Her eyes flew to mine , lips parting . " I - I didn't mean to , I swear ! " she cried , stepping back . " Still ," I said , stepping forward , crowding her space , " you saw me . That's not fair , is it ? " She blinked at me , confused , fear and confusion swimming in her gaze . " Alpha ... ? " I didn't know what I was doing , not really . All I knew was that something in me had snapped . Maybe it was the way she had looked at me , maybe it was the sparks that danced across my skin every time she was near . Sparks I hadn't even felt with my mate . That thought haunted me , whispered cruel truths I wasn't ready to face . " If you saw me , " I murmured , watching her closely , " then I should see you . That's only fair . " She looked like a deer caught in headlights . " W - what ? " " You heard me , " I said , arms crossed over my chest . " Take it off . " " Alpha , please ... " Her voice was trembling . So were her hands . She clutched at the apron of her maid uniform , twisting the fabric like it would save her , I should have stopped . I should have walked away . But my wolf wanted her to stay . Wanted to see her . " Bit by bit , " I said , my voice a little more gravel now . " Start with the top . " She hesitated , her eyes filling with a mix of fear and something darker - curiosity , maybe . Slowly , painfully slowly , her fingers reached for the first button of her dress . She fumbled with it , her hands shaking . " Look at me while you do it , " I ordered . Her gaze lifted reluctantly to mine . Our eyes locked as she undid the button , then the next , and the next . The fabric parted , revealing a creamy expanse of skin and the delicate slope of her collarbone . Her breathing was shallow now , her chest rising and falling with every button undone . 7 Chapter 15 When the top of her dress fell to her waist , revealing the plain white undergarment that clung to her curves , I had to grip the dresser beside me to stay upright . Goddess help me , I had never seen anything so innocent , yet so temptingly sinful . She stood there , trembling , flushed, but not backing down . Her pride or perhaps something else kept her rooted in place . " Now the skirt , " I said , my voice rough . I didn't recognize myself anymore . Her hands moved again , finding the zipper on the side . She slid it down slowly , letting the skirt fall to the floor . She stood in her undergarments now- nothing special , but everything about her was driving me insane . My eyes drank her in . Her legs were slender but strong , her waist narrow , hips flaring just enough to stir something primal in me . Her breasts rose and fell with every panicked breath she took , but they were perfectly shaped , full and soft , and her skin ... like porcelain warmed by candlelight . I couldn't look away . " Turn around ," I said , not trusting myself if she came any closer . She obeyed , silently . Her back was graceful , the curve leading down to a backside that made my wolf howl inside . She was trembling still , and it stirred something in me , I didn't expect - guilt . But underneath that ... was desire . A desire I couldn't control , couldn't understand . I turned away , jaw clenched so hard it hurt . What the hell was I doing ? " You can put it back on , " I said hoarsely , facing the wall . She didn't move for a second . Then I heard the faint rustling of fabric as she dressed herself again , quickly , the silence between us stretching long and sharp like a blade . Once she was done , I turned back to face her . She stood , eyes downcast , lips parted slightly . Her cheeks were crimson , but she wasn't crying . She looked ... conflicted . Like she wasn't sure if she should slap me or fall into my arms . I understood . I wasn't sure either . " I - I'm sorry ," she said again , her voice barely a whisper . " I didn't mean to- " " Go ," I interrupted . My voice wasn't angry anymore . It was something else . Tight . Raw . She fled without another word , the door clicking shut behind her . And I stood there , towel still around my waist , staring after her like a fool . My wolf was pacing inside me , Why her ? restless . Agitated . Why did it feel like electricity danced across my skin whenever she was near ? Why did one look from her unravel me more than anything my mate had ever done ? I couldn't place it . It wasn't just lust . I'd had lust before . This was something different . Something that made me question everything I knew about fate , about mates , about destiny . I was mated already . But what I felt for her - this trembling , consuming need - was stronger than the bond I had with the woman fate had chosen for me . That shouldn't be possible . It wasn't possible . 10:54 Thu , 17 Júl G @ Chapter 15 Did the moon goddess make a mistake , I thought to myself or was it me . Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
