ALPHA SIN

SIN

“What were you discussing with that…” Adrina trailed off, wrinkling her nose. She frowned whilst staring at Emma, who was still in the spot I left her.

She had the same look on her face as Adrina and I doubt if they were both in the same place, a fight, or maybe a showdown would ensue.

Adrina was never one to back down, and Emma, too.

“It’s none of your business,” I said, attempting to leave, but she intercepted me.

“It is. If you liked it or not, I’m still your freaking mate and not some nameless human from nowhere.” She gritted her teeth, then pointed to her neck to show me the fading mark.

“What do you want, Adrina? You know we can’t be together because of the prophecy, and you promised to move on.” I kneaded my temple as a headache began to form.

“I did?” She asked, furrowing her brows. “I must be delusional to have promised you that.” She added with an eye roll.

“You promised and swore. It is sealed, and you coming back to me means you are breaking it.”

“Seeing as the bond mark is still there, I guess we are together even though you are married to that human.” Adrina glared and patted her neck.

I stared at her for a brief minute, shaking my head. What did I ever find attractive in her?

Was it possible she had bewitched me, as she did with other men?

After our breakup, which was termed, ‘the big nasty breakup’ by her, she had been with several men.

I didn’t mind her having a relationship with anyone. Rather, I was grateful she had moved on, even though I still loved her. But due to the prophecy, I didn’t want to get destroyed.

I believed her getting together with some men was to get me jealous. When she saw I wasn’t interested in her affair, she came back to search for me and begged for me to have her back.

It was routine until I got married.

“We can’t ever be together any more. Also, the mark is already fading meaning, the rejection I did work.”

“I didn’t agree with it.” She rolled her eyes.

“But you swore.”

She waved her hand in dismissal. “That means nothing.”

“What are you two murmuring about?”

I glanced at Emma as she moved to where we were. She tilted her head and her eyes narrowed whilst staring at Adrina, then at me.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nothing,” I muttered.

“It’s something,” Adrina said.

“You see,” She continued, stepping towards me. One of her hands grabbed a lock of my hair whilst the other caressed my chin, which was spotting a day-old beard.

“Before your sister.” She twisted her lips in contempt and went on. “Came into the picture. I was here. So, she shouldn’t act like she is so mighty because my Sinclair happened to choose her.”

“She is a whore and an attention-seeking bitch. She is only here to warm my darling’s bed and give him heirs, which I know won’t be good enough.”

Emma glared at Adrina. “You know, I can punch your stupid fake nose for saying such a thing about my sister.”

I glimpsed the anger radiating off Emma as she stared Adrina down. A few minutes ago, she was flirting with me and didn’t give a damn about how her sister felt.

She had even said no one loved her, that was the reason they chose her to wed me. However, she was defending her now and ready to smack Adrina for badmouthing her.

It was weird.

I hadn’t seen someone two-faced before. She was exactly like Laurent. But then, I don’t believe Laurent had defended me this way in my absence before.

He had not gone against me in my absence, either.

“Oh, so you can defend your sister now?” Adrina tilted her brow with a smirk on her face. “I saw you before coming here. You were all over Sinclair and betraying her.”

“Shut up.” Emma gritted her teeth, balling her fist.

“Oh, make me,” Adrina said.

I watched what was unfolding in front of me. But I didn’t want to interfere, lest I anger any of them. I had learnt my lesson that when two women were fighting; it was better to stay out of it or let them settle it between each other instead of asking them to stop. Because at the end of the day, I was the one they would take the anger on.

“Bitch.” Emma gritted her teeth, stepping forward. Adrina did the same, cracking her knuckles.

It was certain who would come out victorious. Even if Adrina didn’t use magic, which was prohibited in front of humans, she was skilled in combat and can take out Emma with just a punch.

Though both women were curvaceous, Adrina appeared stronger than Emma.

“You know, you are no match for me. I can take you out without using my full strength.”

“I’m not as weak as you think.” Emma retorted with a glare.

“Then let’s begin?”

“What is going on here?”

I let out a relieved sigh at the sound of Artemisia’s voice.

She furrowed her brows whilst staring from her sister to Adrina. The latter scowled and grunted.

“I’ll see you later, babe. I might retch if I continue to stay in the presence of these two humans.” Adrina said. She rammed into me, catching me off guard. She kissed my lips lightly before I could object.

I shoved her, but she had already done the damage.

“That is nothing,” I mumbled, gazing at Artemisia, who looked like she was about to chase after Adrina and punch her.

“I’ll see you later too,” Emma muttered, walking away.

“What was that?” Artemisia asked as soon as her sister left.

“It was casual talk.”

“A casual talk which involves kissing?”

“She caught me off guard,” I said, opening the door to the room for her.

“That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard.” She mumbled.

“It meant nothing. I promised. Adrina was just being her normal self.”

I groaned, scratching the back of my neck. I had never been in a situation where explaining myself seemed difficult before. Artemisia placed me in that position.

I didn’t want to lie to her.

“A kiss from your ex meant a lot of things to me.”

I gripped her hand, staring into her eyes as she stood in front of me, facing the mirror.

“It meant nothing,” I murmured.

She rolled her eyes again, but she didn’t look away.

I find her staring at me fascinating. I feel weird, but in a good way.

Artemisia’s hand lifted to caress my cheeks as we continued to look into each other’s eyes.

My heart palpitated, and my whole body responded to her touch as she pushed herself into me.

I had never responded in such a way to an ordinary touch. What was happening to me?

Love.

Ager, my wolf whispered. After all, she is your mate. So, you have a deep affection for her because the bond growing stronger.

Was this what they call love?

Truth be told, my wolf was right that our bond was getting stronger. I didn’t feel the intense hate I felt for her again. Her safety was now my number one priority.

It seemed like the emotion from the beginning of our marriage had vanished. Whilst thinking of it now, we barely fought any more.

But, I had thought it was because I barely stayed in the room. I realized it wasn’t.

It was love. I hadn’t felt it before, and I liked the feeling it provoked inside of me.

“I don’t like seeing you with her,” Artemisia said. She hoisted herself on the ball of her feet and latched her lips on mine.

“Anything for you, darling,” I said, clutching her waist.
