FALLING FOR A HEARTLESS BETA

***Amber’s POV***

I couldn’t move as he walked toward me. It was only natural for me to send him away as the Alpha’s mistress because he had no business in my quarter. “No!” I used my hand to stop him from moving forward, but he simply ignored it. “I’m warning you, Dale! Don’t get any closer,” I told him.

“I can’t do that,” he said, taking another step forward into the bathtub where I was.

“Why? What are you doing to me? We already discussed about this! We’ve already agreed that once I’m pregnant, you won’t be able to see me!”

“Because I like you,” he said. “Amber, I like you.”

I was shocked and laughed when he said he liked me. “Due to what happened between us? Are you serious? It was all business!” I just laughed at what he said because I knew he was being flattering. For what purpose? Do you want to have sex with me again? No way!

“No, it isn’t! Amber, I can tell you like me as well! That night, you couldn’t get enough of me!”

When he mentioned that night, I couldn’t stop my mind from replaying the entire incident, and my cheeks warmed up. When I looked at him, he seemed to recognize the scenes in my head and approached me right away. The man didn’t even hesitate to cover my lips, and his kisses immediately made me weak. My knees sagged immediately, and I clung to him for support!

Then he dragged me out of the tub and into the shower. We were both soaked by the water when he suddenly pinned me against the wall! He conquered my mouth without warning, and he was so eager to deepen the kiss! When he did that, I moaned and tightened my grip on his nape.

“Face the wall and bend a little,” he said after he had finished kissing me. Instead of questioning his order, I obeyed, and then I felt him rub his stiffness into my behind. He knew I was ready to take him and didn’t hesitate to do so.

I couldn’t stop moaning, especially when the man stroked my breasts. Then he squeezed my nipples as he thrust into me repeatedly. My muttering was consistent, as was his. In the midst of my sobs, I realized that whenever I was with him, I felt like a virgin.

He was also skilled at foreplay and romance. He seemed to have a reason for every caress, kiss, and thrust. I couldn’t think of anything else but him since something happened to us. It was as if he were the only man I’d ever met or experienced in my life. My thoughts were focused on him, and that is what I was most afraid of. Was I in love with Mathew Ramsay? No way. I couldn’t let that happen, but my body seemed to think otherwise!

“No!” I screamed, but I had no idea why. Perhaps I was just lost in thought at the time, but his response was shocking!

“Yes…,” he said as he licked the skin behind my ear.

When I let his nostrils and hand tempt my body, I thought I was going to pass out. I couldn’t catch my breath when the man began whispering sweet nothings into my ear. I kept shouting his name as he accelerated his actions even more, and when I heard my name come out of his mouth, it felt like I was being rocked in a cloud. It felt good to have him call me as we climbed to the top of cloud nine together.

“Dale…,” I called out as I felt I was nearing the pinnacle of happiness. My entire body trembled as he continued to lift me into the sky, and when we both arrived at our destination, I expected him to simply let me go, but he didn’t!

“I like you, Amber,” he said quietly.

I couldn’t explain it, but my body and the man seemed to be heating up again. As I rubbed my back against him, I felt his manhood expand, and as I rubbed my back against him, his hands were automatically on my breasts, rubbing, squeezing, and flicking the nipples as well!

“Let’s get out of here,” he proposed.

My legs wobbled as we discussed the bed, but he abruptly shook his head. I scowled at him because I didn’t understand him. Then he motioned with his hand toward the sofa near the window. It was a single-seater sofa, but it was large and I thought it could fit two petite people.

When I realized the man was adjusting the curtain, my eyes widened. Even though I knew the sliding window was tinted, I was still concerned that someone might see me, but the fear made us even more excited.

“Come,” he called, and then he gradually forced me to sit on him.

Oh my goodness, it felt so good!

As I moved up and down his manhood, he held my waist, and because we were facing each other, he was free to reach my breasts. The man sucked them one by one right away. When our gazes met, I felt hypnotized, and we completely forgot about the danger of our situation. I blinked at him for a moment, unable to believe he was so powerful and virile!

We were both silent after what happened, but after a few moments, I left him on the sofa to get some clothes from the closet. Then I became concerned because his clothes were wet. I approached him after donning a white robe.

“What are your plans now?” “Your clothes are soaked,” I informed him.

“Don’t be concerned, Amber. I know my way out very well, but it would be helpful if you could lend me one of your bathrobes,” he suggested, and I agreed because there were several bathrobes in the closet.

“Wait,” I said as I returned to the closet to get something for him. I returned to his side, holding a bathrobe, and bit my bottom lip before speaking to him again. “Are you going to refuse to apologize?” I inquired because he had repeatedly taken advantage of my situation.

“And why should I apologize? I enjoyed it, you enjoyed it, we both enjoyed it,” the man replied, as if letting him have me was a joke!

“Stop talking!”

“Amber, we’re no longer kids, okay? We both wanted it to happen,” said the man, who wasn’t ashamed to admit it.

“The issue is that I am Alpha Marcus’s woman!” I had to raise my voice to make my point because he seemed oblivious to our collaboration.

“You don’t love that man, because if you did, you wouldn’t let me fuck you,” he stated flatly, but as I listened, I was disgusted!

“What exactly are you saying? I’ve already explained why!”

“Let’s just leave,” he suggested, and my mouth gaped open in surprise.

The idea of eloping with Dale was almost appealing to me, but I could never agree to his proposal. Alpha Marcus was a terrifying man with enormous power and influence! We could elope, but will we be able to survive in the long run? We would not! Alpha Marcus would kill us as soon as he found us, and I wasn’t that heartless to let an innocent man die. In addition, I had to think about my unborn child’s safety.

Dale never came back to see me. I honestly expected him to show up unannounced, just like on my first day at Alpha’s. He was probably disappointed by my decision, but it was for our own good. Before considering leaving the pack, I needed to gain some power. It was not possible at the time due to my condition and limited capacity.

The days passed slowly, and I was bored. I was disappointed when Alpha Marcus informed me of the upcoming party to announce my pregnancy to the entire pack. Something seemed to be bothering me, and I didn’t have peace of mind. Was it Dale’s fault?

As I looked out the window, a deep sigh escaped my lips. When I was alone, it had become a habit. I used to spend a lot of time by the window, admiring the flowering plants in the ground, but that was it. I got what I wanted, but I wasn’t satisfied. I should be happy about my pregnancy because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an omega like me, but my heart desired something else… or someone else!

The room was cozy and comfortable, but it was still a lonely place for me. It had a four-poster bed and soft bedside lamps that added a little drama to the room, but I could see Dale’s naked body in every nook and cranny. We almost made love in every corner of my bedroom the last time he came to see me… and I missed him so much!

I dragged my feet slowly towards the massive bed and curled up in the middle. I could see Dale even when my eyes were closed! I had to force myself to stop thinking about him! I was dozing off when I heard footsteps approaching my room. I listened intently until the door clicked open with a satisfying click. When I realized who was coming, my face turned pale with fear. Although I was looking forward to his visit, I wasn’t prepared to face him again!

I could feel his presence because the door was slightly ajar. I was nervously waiting, but he was deafeningly quiet! I stopped breathing for a split second! My heart almost skipped a beat as he walked slowly toward me. His hands then reached out to touch my skin. As he traced my skin with his finger, my stomach churned with nervousness.

“Gorgeous,” he said quietly. “Your silky, smooth skin is lovely, dear.”

I flinched at his touch, but I figured the man wouldn’t notice if I was awake, so I pretended to sleep, but when his hands tried to caress my breasts, I screamed in terror. He was taken aback, but so was I.

“What’s the matter, Amber?” Alpha Marcus inquired.

I stared at him for a moment before shaking my head. “N-nothing, Alpha Marcus. N-nothing.” When I told him I was dreaming, my voice quivered.

“I see. Anyway, why don’t you go outside and mingle with the rest of us, dear? If you’re bored, you could help decorate this place for tonight’s party, but it’s not required,” he said, smiling. Even at his age, Alpha Marcus was extremely attractive, and he could entice any woman with his looks alone.

“I think I’ll do it, Alpha.”

“Good,” he replied, and then, a few moments later, he said his goodbyes. I could only nod in response when he mentioned meeting the council for the peace agreement with other packs.

When I went out to check on the venue, it was almost ready. Thread lights were strung between the trees, creating a whimsical atmosphere. Despite my fear, sadness, and depression, I was acutely aware of those minute details. I was blown away by the idea of including a cozy lounge area where guests could comfortably sit and converse over drinks. There were also drapes and paper lanterns to give the event a festive feel later on.

I expressed my desire to assist, but the team in charge of the decorations forbade me. As a result, I decided to go back to my room and do something else. Maybe reading or sewing clothes for my future baby. However, I was not given the opportunity to enjoy it as much as others. A team of make-up artists appeared out of nowhere. I wanted to dismiss them, but they insisted on assisting me with my make-up.

“Perfect!”

After two hours of applying make-up to my face, the artist said. They also assisted me with my traditional gown. The sweetheart neckline graciously revealed the noble gown worn beneath it. Under the leather belt, the dress unbuttoned to the left. The sleeves were longer and narrower than my arms; their flow was broken up well above the elbow, where it changed color, and was divided by large, ornate bands.

“Done!” The stylist announced after checking some strands of my hair that had escaped the hairdo.

“Finally,” I exclaimed after being beautified for more than two hours. I used to wonder if I was that ugly for them to take so long to finish my make-up. Then I gently dismissed them and pretended to need some alone time.

I went outside because I was lonely and bored. My original intention was to visit the garden, but the stairs leading upstairs piqued my interest. I remembered the butler’s warning not to go upstairs, especially to the fourth floor, but everyone was too busy to notice.

As I ascended the curved staircase, I could feel the adrenaline rush. I would occasionally look around to see if anyone was watching. I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I reached the fourth floor landing.

The entire floor was deafeningly quiet and eerie. There was no sign of anyone living on the mentioned floor, but it was well-kept. I could hear the sounds of my heels as I walked down the corridor, which added to the eerie atmosphere.

I came to a halt several times in the middle and considered canceling my plans. However, there was something compelling me to proceed. I was walking slowly when I heard footsteps approaching. Fear gripped my eyes as I imagined being apprehended by the butler or the Alpha himself.

I dashed to the nearest bedroom, which thankfully wasn’t locked! My chest heaved high and low as I waited to see if anyone had followed me. I counted from one to ten, but then nothing happened. Was I having hallucinations? I shook my head to clear my mind, and then I noticed that the room was lavishly decorated.

I couldn’t name every detail because I didn’t know the names, but all I could say was that the room was indeed spacious! The furniture was a mixture of antique and modern pieces. The nightstand, for example, was sleek, and the bed’s padded headboard stood out. There was an antique settee as well as a modern vanity table.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I wondered who used to live in the room as I walked around the luxurious pieces of furniture. Then I noticed a framed photograph on the wall. I knew the man in the photo was the Alpha, but I didn’t expect to see his Luna with their only child. I narrowed my eyes toward the teen in the photograph, then covered my mouth in surprise!

“Dale?”
