Nyx's pov.
what?
I met his gaze stunned as I tried to process what he had just said. He looked at me and his eyes seemed as if they were searching mine for an answer.
"Wh..a..t?" I stammered.
"You heard me right Nyx." He brought his hand up running his thumb on my jaw softly as his gaze pierced me and I almost melted in that simple yet seductive touch, "I want to feel your lips on mine."
ooo daddy! Hera panted in my head and I almost chuckled.
so you suddenly back to life now? I asked her, what do I do? You heard what he said right? He wants to kiss me.
Are you asking me what you should do? I could sense that she did an eye roll, Girl place your lips on him and fulfill your wish at breakfast!
I blushed at her words wondering how she knew what I was thinking earlier that morning.
"Are you going to say something? Hmm." He slid his thumb across my lower lip now and I shivered at the sparks, my lips parting in ecstasy.
"Why do you want to kiss me?" I asked suddenly remembering that he hated me and wanted nothing, absolutely nothing to do with me.
"Cause we are mates…" He said withdrawing his hands and they fell back to his sides. I nearly groaned at the loss of his touch.
"But you want nothing to do with me." I reminded him, "You clearly said that we can never be a thing."
"That doesn't mean I cannot kiss you." He smirked at me, "I know you want to accept my offer Nyx, I noticed the way you reacted to my touch."
I blushed again feeling really embarrassed that he could read me like an open book. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Is this the only way to free Andros?" I asked, "Me kissing you, is that the only way?"
"Yes." He said stepping closer to me again, "You grant me one kiss and your lover boy is free."
"Isn't there any other option?" I badly wanted to kiss him, take up on his offer and savour the taste of his lips. I wanted to know what his lips felt like, tasted like. I wanted to know If he was going to be harsh like all other men that had forced me or he was going to kiss me with passion.
"I see you aren't ready to have your dear Andros freed…" Annoyance flashed in his eyes and he turned to leave.
you better get him back here girl! Hera growled at me.
"Wait!" I called as he reached the door. He stopped and turned around with that smug look on his face.
"What is it you want?" He asked.
"You can't kiss me and still go about with other girls." I huffed.
"Are you going to take up my offer of kissing me or not?!" He gritted ignoring my statement like I hadn't made mention of him going about with other girls.
"No!" I said and he looked at me astonished that had given him an adverse reply.
He glared at me and walked up to me angrily as if he couldn't believe that I was suddenly bold enough not to do as he wished.
I too wondered how I had become bold at the moment.
A million horrible thoughts of him laying blows on me flashed through my mind as he reached me.
"Did you just tell me no?" He asked, "Stubborn I see." He smirked not waiting for a reply, "You will come back to me Nyx and maybe the offer wouldn't be up anymore." And with that he stormed out of the room banging the door behind him leaving me dazed as I tried to absorb our strange encounter.

you are just horny Hera! I snapped at her tired of her inconsistent whining of why I didn't accept Lycus's offer of a kiss.
you are just plain apprehensive! She growled, what if this is him finally giving in to us?
By asking for a kiss? And planning to mate with someone soon then telling me the kiss wouldn't change anything, I snorted, i don't think I want a repeat of what I have suffered before.
He is nothing like Alpha Titan! She snarled.
you are not sure, I said to her cutting off the connection not wanting to argue anymore. I was glad she was back but I couldn't keep arguing with her about the kiss.
I leaned my head on the head board in exasperation as I tried to focus on what Amara was jabbering about.
"I want to see Vampires." She whined and I rolled my eyes at her, "I really want to know why they suck blood." She pouted and I stared down at her.
"Hmmm." I hummed.
"Will you take me to see a vampire?"
"I don't know where they are baby." I said standing up, "It's time for your Night bath." I picked her up and walked into the bathroom. I ran the bath and set her into the tub before reaching out for the soap to lather it over her.
I finished her bath quickly, took her out and put her to bed in a very short while.
I stood up from the bed with a yawn, drew the covers over Amara and walked into the bathroom to have my own bath.
Hera, you there? I asked her as I unzipped my gown and let it slide down my body. It dropped pooling around my legs and I stepped out of it.
Talk to me when you kiss Lycus, She snorted and I chuckled, I can't believe you said no to him.
I don't want to get kissed then thrown aside and watch him get mated to someone else, I said to her as I stepped into the shower.
How sure are you that your thoughts will happen Nyx? She asked me.
Very sure, I said sighing as the cool water ran through my back, He is mating with the Beta soon, I confirmed it at the table.
Hera whimpered in pain at my words as the realisation downed on her
I am sorry Hera, I apologized, i am sorry that he doesn't love us cause of me.

What the hell are you doing Nyx?! I questioned myself as I slid out of bed and went out of my room.
I had the strangest conviction to succumb to Lycus's demands.
Did I want to kiss him? Yes
Was I scared of what will happen after that kiss? Also yes.
But, I didn't let these thoughts pull me down any longer. I traced his scent following it as I tried to find him. It led me to a door. A pretty huge one and I guessed that it was either his office or room.
I lifted my hand to knock but my action was halted as he spoke.
"I know it's you Nyx." He said and I could tell that he had a smirk on, "Come in."
