Hiding the Alpha’s Heir

Sander had been feeling more cheerful for tonight. He was excited that he would have us on his bed to sleep.

I couldn’t say no to this little man. I promised myself that I would let Sander experience having a complete family. I must do what it takes even if it means of enduring Desmond by my side.

I was just done taking a bath and wore a night dress. I went straight to Sander’s bedroom, hearing soft giggles from him and deep chuckles from Desmond.

Knocking, the laughter gradually dissipated. Desmond was the one who opened the door, having our son in his arms.

“You’re here now, Mama,” Sander exclaimed happily.

I gently tapped his nose. “Of course. I promise that I will be here, right?” Or rather, Desmond begged me not to spoil the fun for Sander. I could have just ignored him the whole night and just focused on Sander.

And that was how I was going to do it. I would ignore him.

But my eyes betrayed me. I glanced at Desmond when I heard uneven breathing from him only to see him looking at my chest. He snapped back when he was caught checking me out.

I couldn’t help but notice that he was half-naked like he used to do before we went to sleep. I gulped when I saw his trousers tightly pressed to his bulging crotch. I immediately looked away from embarrassment when our eyes met.

I cleared my throat. “So, what shall we do before we go to bed?” I asked when Sander was now jumping on his bed.

“Hmm…” he hummed softly, thinking. He got down from his bed and went straight to the bookshelves.

I immediately prayed to the Moon Goddess, begging that Sander would not take a book that was about political management or anything that was not interesting to read. That was the thing he asked about before, he wanted me to read it for him. I really had a headache after that.

“Papa will read us some bedtime stories.” He showed the children’s book.

I was surprised that he would have his father read this. “It’s a good thing that you finally pick something different, sweetheart,” I said.

Desmond took the book and flipped the pages. “You sound like this is the first time Sander would get to read a children’s book.”

“Because he is.” I gently winced at Sander’s hair causing him to giggle softly. I told him what could have been the cause of why I was acting this way. “He’d rather pick deep meaningful books than children’s books,” I added.

He chuckled upon learning it. “Oh, Sander… You silly boy…” He tickled him which earned Sander a giggle.

“Papa…” Sander jumped to his bed to get away from his father, giggling more.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

My expression softened. Sander was beaming more ever since he was slowly opening up to his father. That was a good development ever since we arrived-abducted, I mean.

However, I still needed to do something to escape from here. It was important that we must not stay here or Desmond would do anything in his power that we couldn’t go out anymore. I needed to have his trust again so there would be a chance that I could escape.

“Mama.”

I snapped back when Sander tugged my hand. “Hmm?” I slightly tilted my head, looking at my son. “Is there something wrong?” I asked softly.

“In the bed, please.” I allowed him to bring me to his bed while I smiled and nodded.

But my smile dissipated as soon as I realized that Desmond was also in the bed. I held my breath as my wolf suddenly squirmed when our eyes met.

“Here,” Desmond said with a meaningful smile when he tapped the space beside him.

I smiled bitterly, glaring at him. I was about to bark when Sander pulled my hand. “Come, Mama. The same position I said this afternoon,” he demanded.

“But…” My son frowned when I was about to retort back. I almost cussed when I saw him using his puppy eyes. How could I say no to that? “Fine…” I released a sigh, nodding.

Sander’s face brightened up as soon as I got to the bed. I was still hesitant to lay on the bed but Sander was watching so I faced my back to Desmond. But I immediately gasped when he scooped me towards him.

I looked at him in disbelief. But he only arched his eyebrow as if he was challenging me if I was going to disobey him or not.

“Yes!” I turned my head when Sander hopped on the bed and scooped himself into me. He was smiling when he looked at us. “Papa, read us some story. I promise I will listen and take interest in them.”

Desmond and I chuckled before he nodded. “Alright. I shall start then.” He began telling a story.

It was about two lovely mate couples who were living in the forest and had no pup. Then, they were blessed by a pup when they happened to see a baby pup in the river. Ever since that baby pup arrived, their lifestyle changed. Their marriage was almost broken if it weren’t for that little blessing arriving at them.

I didn’t know how the story was finished but I surely didn’t want to finish it anymore. I only focused on combing Sander’s hair while he had already fallen asleep. I also slowly fluttered my eyes, yawning softly.

Just before I closed my eyes, I stilled when I felt Desmond’s arm wrapping around my waist. Then I felt his lips placed on my bare shoulder and he even sniffed me.

“What-”

“Shh… Sander is sleeping, seraphim,” he whispered to my ear causing me to feel shivers down my spine.

I turned my head at him and furrowed my eyebrows seeing that his face was so close to me. I got distracted when his thumb was grazing my flank. I squinted my eyes before I went back to laying in the bed and slowly closed my eyes.

However, I was distracted again when I felt his breath fanning against my nape. It was hot and… alluring.

Shit… Not now. His hand was now slowly caressing my flank up and down.

“Desmond…” I almost moaned and halted his hand which kept making my senses heightened more than ever.

I heard his heavy breathing before he sighed and kissed my head. “I miss you so much, seraphim… I really do…”

My heart flipped upside down at the sudden words he just uttered. It was… making me feel the warmth yet… No! I must not feel anything about it.

Remember that he betrayed you, Seraphina!

“Go to sleep,” I said coldly before I removed his hand on my flank again.

I must do anything to keep his hands off me. Knowing Desmond, he could make anything possible. If I was seduced, there was no way we could be stopped. That was for certain.

I heard his disappointing sigh before I drifted off to sleep.
