Chapter – 199 Accept Or Not

Allen had stood at the doorway not wanting to intrude on the conversation but his heart ached for the fact that he couldn’t soothe Lexi’s sadness and conflicting emotions.

He understood completely though. She was having the same feelings of doubt and disbelief that he had shared initially, but the difference was, she hadn’t rejected them outright and instead, listened carefully to her father’s advice.

In hindsight, he should have spoken to someone about his misgivings when he realized that Lexi was his mate.

Adam had made it clear that he would have been happy to talk to him about this when they discussed the whole situation in depth, but he had been so busy with Ann and the problems that they had been facing that he hadn’t wanted to add to the burden they faced.

He had been so lost in thought he hadn’t noticed Lexi glance across and spot him in the doorway. “Do you want to join us Beta boy? Or are you gonna stand there eavesdropping?’’ She smirked, her expression changing instantly from one of misery to the characteristic playful smirk that always looked so beautiful on her.

“I don’t bite, Allen. Besides, it would be good to get to know more about the man that is fated to my daughter,’ Lord Brarthroroz smirked from behind steepled fingers.

Allen swallowed nervously and took a seat next to them, his apprehension was glaringly obvious to both Lexi and her father.

“I’m teasing, Beta Allen. I will leave you and my daughter to settle things between you. When you are both ready to introduce yourselves formally as a couple, then I will accept it wholeheartedly. Lexi is my only child and perfectly capable of making her own decisions, as hotheaded as she may be. If you have managed to survive this long in her company, then I have no doubts that your union will be successful…as long as you can reign your wolf’s naturally jealous and possessive nature in.”

Allen quickly blocked out Orvar’s furious offensive rant aimed at Lord Brarthroroz and smiled tightly as he strode past him, patting him genially on the shoulder as he went. As soon as he was alone with Lexi, he let out a breath that he didn’t know he had been holding and Lexi smirked. “Did the big bad Daemon Lord scare the puppy7”

“Not as much as you did when I first met you.” Allen shot back with a cheeky smile.

Lexi blinked in surprise and laughed loudly. “Well, where the f*’k was that attitude when I first got here, hm? We could have had some wild adventures in the bedroom already.” She snorted, lifting her eyebrows suggestively at him.

“And what’s to stop that from happening now, hmm?”Allen practically growled as he leaned across and refilled the glass that Lexi was holding in her hand before pouring one for himself.

Lexi stared at him with an unreadable expression in her eyes for what felt like an eternity. He had no idea what it was about her eyes, but it felt like he could drown in them if he stared for too long.

His beautiful mate. Why had he ever waited so long?

“Since when were you this bold, Beta boy?’1 Lexi whispered, her stomach flipping unexpectedly as her heart began to beat a little bit faster.

The smoldering look that Allen fixed her with, combined with the dark look of possessive lust that clouded his face ordinarily would have made her drop to the floor on her knees and scream ‘YES

DADDY! DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! PUNISH ME LIKE I DESERVE!’, but instead, she licked her dry lips and took another sip of her drink whilst desperately trying not to show just how much she wanted him inside of her.

f*’k. Ann was right. The sneaky little b*’*h. She knew that Lexi wanted him before Lexi knew that she wanted him. It wasn’t fair.

“I know how turned on you are right now, Lexi.” He growled as he moved closer to her, like a predator stalking his prey.

Lexi swallowed nervously and stood, her chair screeching backward as she took a few uncertain steps back. “I’m not turned on Allen… f*’k off thinking you know me already. Lexi protested weakly as she tried desperately to put distance between them both.

Allen chuckled darkly, the gravelly sound sending a delectable shiver down her spine as she fought every urge that her body was begging her to submit to. It wasn’t usually this hard to walk away from a man…

“Don’t lie to me… I can smell you… your body knows exactly what it wants… you’re the only one fighting it here, Lexi.” Allen smirked, his eyes dark as he continued towards her, until Lexi stopped abruptly, her back hitting the thick post of the Pergola.

She bit her lip subconsciously and checked either side of her for a way to escape him. The hungry look that he was eyeing her with made her both want to run away but also submit to his every whim.

“Allen… I…” She stuttered hopelessly as he caged her against the post between his arms.

Allen looked down at her with a smirk as he slowly traced a finger along her jawline and tilted her chin upward toward him.

“I never told you how beautiful you are…” he murmured as he crashed his lips against hers in a passionate, almost desperate kiss.

Lexi froze momentarily, exactly as she had done in the Enclave before, completely unable to fathom just how overwhelming these sensations were that seemed to crash over her endlessly like a multitude of waves, each hitting with more intensity than the last.

Would it really be so bad just accepting this and working through whatever issues they faced’

Her core ached terribly as he tried desperately to deepen the kiss and after a moment’s more hesitation, she finally relented.

After all, what did she have to lose really?
