Ten o’clock. Alpha Dominic returned home right on schedule.
As he pushed open the door, the motion sensors automatically lit up the hallway. The warm light chased away the darkness behind him.
He took off his suit jacket, automatically moving quietly. Even his breathing became silent.
The guest bedroom door stood slightly open, revealing Elara lying peacefully on the bed. Her blanket had slipped down, exposing half of her shoulder.
Dominic’s eyes focused on her pale skin. His throat moved as he swallowed hard.
He found himself walking closer.
Moonlight from the window lit up her face. Her long lashes cast tiny shadows beneath her eyes. Her pink lips were slightly open. Her breathing was soft and steady.
The sight of her in that thin nightgown, her curves barely hidden beneath the fabric, made his hands clench at his sides. He couldn’t stop the rough breathing that escaped his lips.
After two days of using medicine, the red mark on her cheek had almost disappeared.
Just thinking about someone slapping her made his eyes flash with anger. If Nadia hadn’t been her mother, Alpha Dominic would have made sure that person paid for it. Big time.
But he had thought about Elara’s feelings. He supported her without going too far.
Slowly, he crouched down. His gaze settled on her peaceful face.
Elara kept dreaming, completely unaware. Her pink tongue came out to wet her lips.
Dominic’s breathing got heavier.
He held his breath and leaned in slowly. His lips pressed against hers, no longer gentle. His tongue slipped into her mouth, desperate to taste every part of her.
He drank in her sweetness like a man dying of thirst. His tongue explored her mouth greedily, collecting every drop of her essence.
She stirred in her sleep, a soft whimper escaping her throat.
Her breathing became labored as he claimed her mouth completely.
He couldn’t get enough. The way she tasted, the warmth of her mouth... it was like a drug.
He was completely obsessed.
His lips moved to trail along her jaw, then back to that fading mark on her cheek. His tongue swept over it possessively, marking it as his territory.
When he finally looked at her again, her lips were swollen and glistening from his attention.
Perfect. Beautiful. His. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Then he pulled back immediately.
The soft, warm feeling stayed with him. Along with her sweet scent.
Alpha Dominic’s lips curved into a smile. His intense gaze stayed on her sleeping face.
Dark emotions swirled in his eyes.
He was completely obsessed with her. And she had no idea.
How long would it take, he wondered, before she would willingly fall in love with him? Really fall in love with him?
He wanted the real love.

The next morning, I stretched lazily in bed.
Last night I’d had the weirdest dream where Dominic was chasing me through endless hallways. I hadn’t expected to dream about him at all.
Maybe it was because we’d gotten closer lately.
I pressed my lips together, making a silent promise that even in this contract marriage, I needed to keep proper boundaries.
When I sat at the breakfast table in my sleep shirt, he glanced at his watch suddenly. "Elara, have you forgotten? We’re boarding the cruise ship today."
I stared at him blankly, then looked up at the wall clock.
[Shit! With all the company drama going on, I totally forget these things now.]
"Give me a minute. I need to pack," I said, about to rush back to my room when he caught my wrist.
"No rush," he said calmly. "We’ve already missed our window. Finish breakfast first, then take your time packing."
When we got to the marina at ten, I realized this was nothing like the regular cruise I’d booked us.
This luxury ship was incredibly huge.
Besides the two of us, only staff members were on board. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"What is this?" I asked, totally confused.
Dominic shrugged like it was no big deal. "Oh, I found out yesterday that the tickets you gave me had expired, so I bought a ship last minute."
"Do you like it?" he asked, completely casual about it.
I felt my eye twitch. I gave a weak laugh.
Was this what billionaires did when faced with expired tickets? Just buy entire ships?
Talk about being ridiculously rich!
As I watched seagulls flying across the sky above the deck, I couldn’t help but reach out toward them. "I actually love it."
Dominic’s lips curved upward. "I’m glad you do."

Meanwhile, on another ship nearby, Selina excitedly pointed at a small island. "Zack, are you free tomorrow? We could take our wedding photos there!"
Alpha Zack rubbed his temples and followed her gesture. "Sure."
"Whatever makes you happy."
Selina’s eyes lit up with excitement. Not only would she have gorgeous wedding photos, but she planned to post them all over social media.She couldn’t wait to rub her happiness in Elara’s face!
Alpha Zack seemed distracted. His mood was flat. "Selina, do you know how your father managed to upset Alpha Dominic?" he asked suddenly.
Selina froze. "My father upset Dominic Wolfe? The Alpha King?"
Her voice went up an octave. Everyone in the pack world knew you didn’t mess with the Alpha King.
Alpha Zack nodded grimly. "Your father wanted that East Side territory. Alpha King snatched it right out from under him."
Selina went quiet. That territory again!
She knew exactly what that land was about. Her father had tried to set up Elara with Damian Sterling just to get his hands on it.
But how did that land end up with the Alpha King instead?
A crazy thought hit her. What if her father’s secret marriage arrangement for Elara was with the Alpha King?
Just thinking about it made her face go white.
Alpha Zack looked at her with worry. "Selina, what’s wrong?"
Selina snapped out of it and forced a smile. "Nothing, Zack. I’m just thinking about which wedding dresses to wear tomorrow."
Alpha Zack laughed and ruffled her hair. "You can wear as many as you want. Deal?"
Selina smiled sweetly.
Right. There was no way Elara could be married to the Alpha King.
The Alpha King would never marry someone like Elara who has nothing.
Tomorrow, she’d make sure Elara knew exactly how happy and successful she was.
