Free Web NovelChapter 37: Chapter 37 The Fateful Night (1)
The door opened widely, and a tall, large frame stood right outside the room. His gaze fell on the female standing right in the middle of his room with her back facing him. His brows furrowed deeply, while his hands clenched by his side.
His nose wriggled as he could smell her all over his place. He could already tell she had gone through his stuff, although everything looked exactly as he had left it.
As he walked closer towards her, Xue Yao’s heart thundered in her chest. ’Oh no, did he notice I touched his stuff? What will he do to me? And why is he coming so close? Will he really try to sleep with me?’ Her brain short-circuited.
She fidgeted with her hands nervously. ’... I have the Sticky Smelly Socks, there is nothing to be afraid of... There is nothing to be afraid of.’
Her heart skittered in her chest the moment she felt a warm breath below the back of her neck. Her body grew so tense, and the air on her body stood on end.
The silence was so thick that she could hear the racing of her heart. She pressed her hands tightly together, as if that would help her nerves to calm down.
Then a musky, hoarse voice broke the silence, sending waves of shivers down her spine. "If you want to go through my stuff, at least try not to leave your scent behind." His warm breath burned against her skin.
Xue Yao’s heart stopped beating for a moment. Her eyes widened like a saucepan.
Earlier when the door was opening...
’Tian Lan, help me! I promise to cook for you anytime you want me to, just help me, help me!’ She cried inwardly as she quickly touched the carved stone again.
The secret compartment closed, and she immediately ran to the spot she was at before she started her little adventure.
Tian Lan popped out beside her. [You promise, don’t make me talk too much when I ask you to cook for me.]
With a snap of her finger, everything returned to its normal position. Even the jar she had kicked earlier returned to its normal place.
... So how was he still able to tell she had touched his stuff?
Cold beads of sweat trickled down her temple. ’What should I say? What should I say?’
Xue Yao felt the heat radiating from his body, and she knew he was barely an inch away from her.
The man leaned in and whispered in her ear. "Tell me. How should I punish you?"
His warmth burned her ear bright red.
Unable to bear the torture and the pressure radiating from him. She took a few steps forward with a speed of lightning and swiftly turned around to face him.
Her long hair danced in the air, covering her face for a split second. She shook her head so they could fall freely on her body.
’The best way of changing the outcome of a situation is by taking control of it.’ She thought inwardly before plastering a smile on her face.
The moment her eyes landed on the man before her, her heart skipped a bit.
His golden, fiery eyes burned straight into her soul. His long, white-silver hair made him look untouchable, yet his features were so symmetrical that one couldn’t hesitate to throw themselves into his arms.
Her eyes slowly trained down his body. His abs were well-toned, with a six-pack. His waist was slender and his chest was larger.
"Lie Lang..." She muttered under her breath.
Inwardly, Xue Yao was already crashing. Her mind seemed to envision him in a pink fairytale land, where Cupid arrows flew in the air. One of them struck her in the chest, and pink love reflected in her eyes. All she saw was this beauty, a man who made her heart jump out of her chest.
Suddenly, a gush of cold sensation spread through her body, almost as if she had been iced by an aura of death.
She immediately snapped out of her little fairy land. Lie Lang’s golden eyes blazed so fiercely that Xue Yao didn’t need to be told that... this was killing intent.
Xue Yao quickly cleared her throat. "Alpha." She called out in a meek voice.
"Tell me what you want from me?" Lie Lang said as he strode towards her, covering the distance between them.
’Stay where you are! I said stay where you are!’ She cried inwardly.
"What do you mean?" Xue Yao asked, taken aback by his question.
’Is he referring to the s*x position? Why will he be asking that of me? Has he gone mad?’
This only angered Lie Lang more. The closer he was, the more Xue Yao tried to create distance between them.
As she backed away from the angry predator in front of her, her legs bumped into a wooden frame, sending her off balance.
"Ahhhhhhh." She cried out as the room tilted in her eyes.
The next second she landed on a soft fabric... ’no, no, no... don’t tell me I fell on the bed... I just willingly served myself on the wolf’s platter.’ Her lips pulsed together before pulling into a helpless, silent cry.
As she hurried to leave the scene, Lie Lang lay on top of her with his hands pinning hers above her head.
He stared at her for a moment too long, as if he was trying to peel away every layer of her.
"Is this what you wanted?" He asked in a low, crisp voice.
Xue Yao immediately shook her desperately.
But Lie Lang wasn’t buying her act. "Then tell me why you refuse the Grand Alpha? Why did you make Han Luo bring me that grilled Rock Rabbit...?" his eyes narrowed dangerously. "Why do you have those marks on your face?" His overwhelming aura exploded with the last question.
"What... what... are you talking about? I... don’t understand what you mean..." Xue Yao stuttered.
"You don’t?" Lie Lang mellowed. A deep growl vibrated through his chest. As he lowered his head...
’Is he...is he going to kiss me?’
