‘Did I truly utter those words?’ Nelly questioned herself, desperately searching her memory for any recollection that could shed light on the situation. The concept that she might have unintentionally miscommunicated her intentions gnawed at her, fueling her turmoil.
Before Nelly could even attempt to explain herself, Alpha Kilian interrupted her thoughts once more, his voice carrying an air of reassurance and determination. “Do not fret. From this point forward, we shall celebrate each birthday together, as a united family.”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Nelly found herself falling into an uneasy silence, her gaze fixated on Alpha Kilian. As her eyes locked onto his, a myriad of emotions swirled within her, creating an internal storm that left her at a loss for words.
She could no longer deny the fact that Alpha Kilian was slowly chipping away at the walls guarding her heart, dismantling them brick by brick. With each passing moment, she felt herself drawn closer to him, unable to resist the magnetic pull he exerted on her.
However, amidst the escalating tension, a disturbance reached their ears, snapping both Nelly and Alpha Kilian’s attention towards its source. Nelly’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she recognized the arguing couple, an unexpected diversion from their own complex situation.
Alpha Kilian’s eyes narrowed as he followed Nelly’s gaze, his curiosity ignited by the sight that unfolded before them. A wicked grin crept onto Kingsley’s face as he relentlessly attempted to draw Lara into his embrace, despite her evident resistance.
Unfazed by Kingsley’s persistence, Nelly’s amusement blossomed, accompanied by an almost devilish gleam in her eyes. Lara, unable to ignore Nelly’s presence, was overcome with envy, her gaze lingering on the breathtaking beauty that radiated from Nelly.
Driven by desperation, Lara finally broke free from Kingsley’s grasp and approached Alpha Kilian directly, her voice laced with urgency and pleading.
“Alpha Kilian, please help me!”
To Nelly’s astonishment, Alpha Kilian recoiled from Lara’s outstretched hand, a sudden chill replacing the warmth she had grown accustomed to in his presence. Confusion washed over her as doubt clouded her mind.
Does he despise me to such an extent? Nelly wondered, grappling with the unforeseen response from the man she had allowed herself to become vulnerable to.
Caught off guard by the unexpected encounter with Alpha Kilian, Kingsley felt a pang of guilt surge through him, threatening to disrupt his unyielding facade. Despite this, he pushed forward, unwilling to let the opportunity slip away.
“It has been quite some time, Alpha Kilian!” Kingsley’s words dripped with false cheer, however, the mirth quickly faded from his expression when his gaze fell upon Nelly’s captivating presence.
Kingsley’s inability to regain his composure resonated with Nelly, who watched his stunned silence with a mixture of satisfaction and intrigue. It was undeniable: Alpha Kilian’s allure seemed to attract increasingly stunning women to his side, leaving those in his wake in awe.
Seized by curiosity and a hint of spiteful mockery, Kingsley taunted Alpha Kilian with a question that threatened to unravel the carefully constructed facade he donned to protect Nelly’s heart.
“And who may this be, Alpha Kilian?” Kingsley’s voice held a tantalizing edge, veiled with envy and a desire to unravel the enigma that seemed to surround Alpha Kilian and his captivating companion.
Alpha Kilian, sensing the lustful glimmer in Kingsley’s eyes, swiftly positioned himself in front of Nelly, assuming a haughty and regal posture that exuded an air of protectiveness.
With his regal expression firmly in place, he offered a curt response to Kingsley’s question. “That, my dear Kingsley, is none of your concern.”
