The Alpha's Forsaken Feisty Mate-Chapter 80: Not to ravish you

Radulf looked at Zenna’s face which rested on his chest while her hand was on his abdomen. He should have pushed her away, but he couldn’t. Carefully, he attempted to move her head away and place it on the pillow when he felt her hand moving down.

His breath caught in his throat and his eyes grew big at that moment. If he had known Zenna would make such movements in her sleep, he might have asked her to sleep on the chaise.

"Don’t touch me. I am already resisting hard not to ravish you," he murmured to himself, bringing his hand to her back finally and flipping her on the mattress.

Zenna stirred awake from her sleep and slowly opened her eyes only to find Radulf’s face hovering over hers. "What are you doing?" she frowned.

"Watch your body where it moves in sleep, especially your hands. I’ll have to tie them if they try touching me again," Radulf told her.

"What do you mean?" Zenna had no idea what he was speaking about and she rubbed her eyes. "I could not sleep well last night and you woke me up like this," she complained.

"Don’t act naive," Radulf said.

This time she snapped at him. "I’m not acting naive. I don’t get what you want to say."

"You turned me hard by almost touching me down," he replied promptly.

"What?" Zenna’s cheeks flushed crimson to hear him. "You are jesting." She didn’t believe him and felt he was teasing her.

"You think I will lie about that!?" Radulf chuckled bitterly. "You are my mate. Your single touch does something to me," he stated before sitting up.

Zenna gulped and curled her fingers. She observed the scars on his back, which were clearer to her with this close distance.

"Did you get these from the war?" Zenna asked as she sat up, too. However, she didn’t touch them, knowing how it affected him. She did not want him to feel uncomfortable because of her touch.

"You can sleep more if you want to. I’ll leave now," Radulf said, avoiding her questions. As he got down the bed, and left the chamber quietly.

"I need to test him for a while. I can’t give him myself so easily," she murmured to herself. Sleeping again was questionable since she knew she wouldn’t get any sleep now.

Moving out of bed, she used the washroom first before heading for a relaxing bath. She looked at the ceiling while she remained soaked in the warm water. "How to awaken my wolf?" She mumbled.

Just then, the curtains moved away and her heart jumped in fright.

"You?" Zenna turned stiff seeing Radulf, half-naked, his body drenched in water as if he walked straight out of the shower. She shut her eyes the moment two water droplets from his hair landed on her cheek.

The moment she opened her eyes, she found Radulf getting on his knees. His hand moved to the back of her head, some of her wet hair tangled in his fingers.

"Can we just kiss? I thought a bath would relieve me, but it didn’t happen," Radulf said, searching for the consent in her eyes.

"We can, but I have a condition," Zenna replied.

"What is it?" he inquired.

"You will answer my questions. You won’t leave me hanging and you– Mmmph..." She ended up moaning without finishing what she had to say as he drew her for a kiss. His other hand moved to her shoulder, caressing it which made her curl her toes in response.

Zenna’s hand moved on its own to reach his neck and soon it was on his nape.

A yelp escaped her throat when his teeth grazed her bottom lip the same as last night before tracing it with his tongue to soothe the pain before slipping it in. He tilted his head, his other hand cradling her neck, wanting to feel more of her. He smiled sensing how Zenna was clumsily imitating him but he liked it.

He wanted to feel her body. He wanted to touch her and find out how she would react to it. His hunger was growing every time and it was bothering him.

Radulf pulled away out of the blue, leaving them both gasping for air. His knees touched the floor of the bathhouse while his eyes remained glued on hers.

"Look at me," Radulf urged this time and she promptly met his gaze.

Zenna breathed faster and opened her mouth to speak. "Don’t hurt me later," she said. "And be expressive about what you feel for me."

Radulf simply gazed into her eyes and finally stood up. "I’ll see you later," he said and left her sight.

"Are we finally taking steps toward each other? Should I be happy about it?" Zenna murmured to herself.

After some time, while getting her hair done with Pia’s help, Zenna heard her say, "Alpha suddenly appeared outside the bathhouse and dismissed all of us. Luna, are you two finally doing it more frequently?"

"No," Zenna gave a prompt reply. "We kissed. I think the mate bond is affecting him. I wonder if I have forgiven him easily. But isn’t it strange, Pia, when your mate kisses you, everything around you seems dull?"

"Yes, the body reacts differently at that moment. It seems Alpha Radulf is holding himself hard after that night of rut. You can use this opportunity in your favor, Luna. Seduce him and then deprive him," Pia suggested to her again.

"I don’t think there’s any need to do that," she murmured.

"Why not, Luna? You want this marriage to work out. For that, you need to provoke those feelings from Alpha, which he ignores. You need to show him he can’t live without you," Pia advised her again.

Zenna contemplated for a moment. "I’ll think about it. Pia, I forgot to tell you an important matter. Radulf and I will soon leave the capital. He wants me to accompany him." The smile on her face showed how excited she was for the trip.

"What? That’s indeed good news, Luna," Pia said, placing the comb on the table.

"Keep this to yourself," Zenna told her, and she left from the chair. She looked at her lips and applied more lip color. Pursing them together, she smiled and walked out to check on Radulf.

To her shock, as she entered the chamber, she saw Radulf enjoying wine first thing in the morning. He had a document in his hand, which he was looking at with an intense gaze.

Zenna approached him and picked up the jar. He gazed at her with a mused expression.

"Why are you drinking in the early morning?" She reprimanded him.

"You are the reason," Radulf answered. "You don’t let me have you. I need to keep myself in check. If I take more pills, it can affect me."

"You are not allowed to do this in the morning. It’s wrong," Zenna angrily said and dashed out in fury after snatching the glass from him.

"She thinks I’ll listen to her," Radulf chuckled.

’You need to,’ Black said.

’I hate lectures, Black. Did you notice how bright her lips were? She wants more of my attention,’ Radulf said, smiling quietly.
