Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

Liam paced around his room as each word of his mother replayed in his head. His mother was right, and he needed no one to tell him that everyone in his kingdom was looking up to him and waiting for him to do what was right.

The earlier he took a queen, the better for the kingdom and the best for his reputation. Perhaps, he loved Alyssa and making her his queen would be a dream come true.

“Any sight of Alyssa?” Liam asked Nat, who drifted off in thought.

“I would go search and ask around”, Nat replied and dashed out to ask for Alyssa.

He came back some minutes later and nodded his head negatively.

“She is not yet back from town”, Nat divulged, and Liam’s face transited into a small frown.

He was dying to meet with her, to tell her how much he wanted her in his life and how he would be the most fulfilled man on earth if she accepted his request.

He could feel his heart beating out of anxiety. First, he thought of how he would lay the request across to her and next, he thought of how dejected he would feel if she rejects it.

With each of those thoughts swirling around his head, he walked into the dining hall, where his dinner was served. He waited patiently for a couple of minutes, and when he didn’t catch sight of her, he proceeded to eat dinner alone.

Once he was done with dinner, he proceeded to his library. He picked up some historical books, which he got bored with in no time. He needed to speak to Alyssa, and despite what he did, he didn’t get distracted.

After a while, he looked out of the window and caught sight of Alyssa walking into the palace, with Tim and Tiffany.

A wide smile spread across his face, even though it turned to a frown the moment he saw Tiffany. Tiffany still hated him, but he cared less about that.

He jerked up and straightened his clothes, clearing his throat and placing his heart on his chest to relax his nerves.

Afterward, he sauntered out of the library and headed towards Alyssa’s room.

He met them just at the door of the room, but before he could utter a word, Alyssa pulled him in for a tight hug.

“I missed you”, Alyssa mouthed, caressing his cheeks and playing with his beards lovingly.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alyssa… I need to talk to you”, Liam suddenly said, but Alyssa quickly shoved it aside.

“I don’t anything you want to say is more important than putting your son to bed. Would you help get Timothy ready for bed? I’m so exhausted that all I want to do is have a nice bath and sleep”,’Alyssa said as she searched his eyes for an answer.

Liam gulped down hard and wiped off the sweats that had formed on his forehead. He couldn’t say why he was nervous to ask her the question.

“Sure! I would”, he replied and walked into the room with her, smiling at Tim, who was truly exhausted from the day’s event.

Timothy was glad and humbled because Alyssa had invited him to put their son to bed. Even though he was his father, he had not known him for long and this made him glad that Alyssa was trusting him with the little boy.

Liam gave his son a pleasant bath and as he dressed him up, the little boy couldn’t help but talk about the activities of the day.

“I have a friend in town”, Timothy said, and Liam widened his eyes in shock and surprise. He never thought that his son would be able to mingle with commoners, even if he was being treated specially, like a prince.

“That’s great to hear. Tell me about this friend”, ‘Liam replied excited while Timothy started narrating his day at the town, how he had given his friend some biscuits and how he had fun with Alyssa and Tiffany.

Liam was glad that he smiled all through. His little boy was growing up so fast, and he was entirely grateful that he was in the right hands.

Alyssa took a fast bath just as she listened to the ongoing conversation between Liam and Timothy. This was everything she hoped for, everything that made her feel complete.

“Time for bedtime stories”, Alyssa announced as she walked into the room and picked out a robe from her closet.

She wrapped the robe around her body, ignoring the wild look on Liam’s face.

Timothy jumped around in excitement and finally laid on his bed. Alyssa sat right beside Liam while she read the story to him.

All through the moment, Liam smiled while watching them both. He observed how enthusiastic and excited the little boy had been at the beginning and then, how he finally started drifting off to sleep.

They waited for some minutes after he had fallen asleep. Once they were sure that he was peacefully asleep, Alyssa stood up and let out a yawn. She was truly exhausted and couldn’t wait to crash into her bed.

She walked over to her room, with Liam trailing behind her. At intervals, he made to talk, but the moment she turned to him, he kept mute.

“You’re acting weird. Are you still sick?” Alyssa asked with concern written all over her face.

She had gone out earlier after putting him in bed because she thought that he was sick and that was why he behaved strangely. However, he appeared strong while putting Tim to bed, and that made Alyssa conclude that he was fully okay. Seeing him behave unusual again was a great cause of concern for her.

“I was never sick”, Liam divulged, while Alyssa gaped at him as though he were only blabbing.

“Then what is the problem? Look, everything would be okay? You can tell me any single thing you want to, no matter how bad it may look”, Alyssa said, taking short breaths and trying to calm her raging heart.

Moments after she got back with Liam, she had trained her heart to accept whatever might come off the relationship. She had odd feelings that he might wake up one day and decide to choose someone apart from her. This got her scared, but she always concealed it with wide smiles plastered on her lips.

She loved Liam, and she was certain that he loved her too, but she also knew that the worst could come…

“If you don’t love me anymore, you can tell…”, her voice trailed off the moment Liam dropped on his knees and stretched out a beautiful golden rings towards her.

“I don’t have so many words to say. All I know is that we belong to each other and I can’t wait to explore life, together with you”, Liam said and swallowed hard, with his heart racing in anxiety.

Alyssa was taken aback that for the next minutes, she only gaped at him, with her mouth parted slightly.

She did not just expect him to drop to the floor while she was in the middle of her weird thoughts.

How could she have thought that Liam had someone else apart from her? Or how could she have thought that Liam and her were not destined to be together?

She gasped again as different thoughts swirled around her head, causing her to wear an indifferent expression.
