"I don't know, but he's going to explain what gave him the guts to hit you" Alex released his clenched fists as he stared into the eyes of Sabrina, it felt like he could read through her thoughts.
Sabrina leaned in to kiss Alex, but he turned his face away,
"You're here to dress my wounds, fulfill your gestures. We're not here for romance except if you want to change the tables" Alex knew what she wanted, but he wasn't cheap, he wanted her to beg for it.
"You want me to beg you for sex?" Sabrina spelled out the words with a lump in her throat, her croaky voice amused Alex.
"It's not the first time you've done this besides as my mistress I can order you to beg me for sex, seduce me, or even do anything weird in the presence of everyone" Sabrina gulped down her throat, she was a bit uneasy.
"That's not part of the deal" She fixed all the materials back into the box and closed it.
"It is now" Alex paused in his words as he ripped off his shirt with his right hand since his left arm had claw wounds.
"Seduce me, Sabrina, I want to see how much you can make me long to be with you" He ordered as Sabrina sighed,
"I can't do that, I'm afraid I have to leave. Like you said earlier, I'm here to fulfill my gestures, and I've executed them perfectly, so I beg to take my leave".
"If you walk out that door, our deal is off. We return to living our normal lives and I won't save you from any impending attacks. You were the target at the waterfall. I've saved you twice, do you want to risk your safety…" Alex chuckles as he understands the look on Sabrina's face.
"Fine I'll do it" Sabrina chimed into his words as she pulled off her clothes, wearing a black lingerie she progressed to Alex's chest. She hated eye contact with Alex because it weakened her urge to resist him.
Alex turned the wheels of seduction as he raised Sabrina and placed her on the table. He rubbed his soft hands against her shoulders, Sabrina held on to his hands as they both heard a loud horn from the courtyard.
"He's here" Sabrina hoped that Alex wouldn't want her to proceed with the seduction.
"Good about time I deal with him for what he did to you" Sabrina felt a bit surprised that Alex didn't forget his words.
Alex trudged downstairs, he pushed Cedric from walking through the stairs.
"I would like to address your unruly behavior," Alex utters as Cedric places his hands around his right shoulder.
"You better put an end to this charade Alex." he retorts instantly, Alex wanted the beast inside Cedric and not the sheep that he is now.
"Listen to me while I'm speaking, I said I would like to address your unruly behavior, and you have to wait and listen to my words before going back to whatever it is that you want to do"
"And If I would rather not listen to whatever crap you have to say? What would you do?" Cedric challenged Alex, standing eyeball to eyeball.
"On second thought, what's this all about? What did I do this time?" Alex slapped Cedric, and Cedric staggered trying to regain his balance.
"What was that for?" Cedric felt pissed and astonished at the same time, wondering why Alex would humiliate him in this manner before the maids and guards.
"You dare lay your filthy hands on your wife again I would make sure you lose those fingers of yours. You're a weakling, raising your hands to hit a woman. Even if our father did that, that doesn't give you the ultimatum to tread in his footsteps, your capabilities have outweighed your sense of reasoning" Alex cautioned Cedric while he had his eyes glued to Sabrina.
"This isn't your business Alex, Sabrina's my wife and not yours. It's my family, and I am the head of that family"
"She made you who you are ingrate and yet, you treat her in that manner. Ungrateful peasant" The guards were all amused, wondering why Cedric an Alpha would allow himself to get insulted in an unruly manner.
"It's my family, and I am the head. Everyone answers to me"
"And I'm lord over you, you answer to me. I've been playing around for far too long. I mean business, I want the throne peacefully, or you'll just have to lose everything including the post of Beta I would willingly bestow upon you and your family" Alex roared, everyone got scared of Alex's words. He meant his words as he sauntered out of the house.
"You have the guts to take our family problems to a stranger" Cedric felt like slamming his hands over her cheeks but Alex's words rang through his mind.
"He's your brother and my brother-in-law, he saw the mark your hands made on my cheeks and asked… I can't lie to him" Sabrina stutters,
"So you're happy over how he humiliated me right before my subjects" Cedric clicks his tongue in disgust.
"You didn't stand up to his threats. Do something to show that you're not the weakling he called you, throw a fist, a kick, or something. Don't stand like an idle man next time and just exchange words like bitches" Sabrina patted Cedric's shoulders as he pulled her hands off his shoulders.
"I don't have time for all this, there are matters I have to settle" he cackles,
"Do you need my help?"
"Even if I needed help it wouldn't be yours, I have a list of people waiting to lend me a helping hand so don't worry my dear wife" Sabrina understood Cedric's words, 'a list of people waiting to lend me a helping hand'.
"He's talking about ladies that want to be with him, is he thinking of divorcing me? Hell no!!!" Sabrina shades off the thoughts of divorce and storms into Cedric's chambers.
"Cedric I require an explanation to your words, a list of people waiting to lend you a helping hand… You know I don't even need your explanation, I'll just go ahead and hit the nail on the head, are you cheating Cedric?"
