Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138

The cramped Maybach interior was instantly overwhelmed by the sharp mix of Hebert’s icy cedarwood scent and the faint burn of Scotch whiskey.

His body, solid and unyielding like carved marble, loomed over me with an undeniable force, pinning me against the plush leather seat. The chill of the leather seeped through the thin velvet fabric of my gown, pressing cold against my back, while the heat radiating off the man above me felt like it could set the air ablaze.

I was breathing hard, each gasp of air uneven as my chest rose and fell in tension. The sheer dominance in his presence sent a ripple of unease through me.

“You’re drunk, Hebert,” I managed, my voice tight as I shoved against his solid chest with both hands, trying desperately to put some space between us. “Please, just calm down!”

“I’m not drunk,” he said, his tone low and raspy, carrying a magnetic pull that seemed to resonate in my very core.

His fingers skimmed over my cheek, and I instinctively met his gaze. My heart stuttered painfully in my chest. His deep sapphire eyes, now streaked with angry red veins, were clouded with an unfamiliar but absolutely dangerous kind of intensity I couldn’t ignore.

“Why do you always want to leave me, Ashley?” he murmured, his voice tinged with pain. His warm breath brushed against my nose, carrying every ounce of his raw emotion. “Can’t you stay by my side forever?”

Stay by his side?

What did he mean by that?

I couldn’t figure it out, and honestly, I was too scared to overthink it.

“I…” I hesitated, then forced myself to speak. “I’m just a temporary Luna for the Bloodmoon Pack. There’s absolutely no reason for me to stay with you forever. Once the contract ends, I’ll definitely leave.”

But my voice… it trailed off, growing so soft that it felt like a betrayal of my conviction. Even I could tell how unsure I sounded.

The truth was, I could feel my heart pounding uncontrollably. It was so loud, it was almost embarrassing.

This reaction–this uncontrollable flutter in my chest–was something even my rational mind couldn’t suppress.

Then suddenly, Hebert’s hand, the one that had been gently brushing against my cheek, froze mid–motion.

“Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending?” he asked, a weary sigh hanging from every word.

I froze too, staring up at him, utterly lost. What was I supposed to notice? What was I missing here?

As our eyes locked, he leaned just a bit closer. The space between us practically disappeared, and all I could hear was the sound of his breathing–his presence so overpowering, it felt like everything else faded away. I even found myself noticing details like the dark sweep of his lashes.

“Can’t you tell I’m seriously pursuing you?” he said, his voice low and deliberate, each word hitting me like a

wave.

Boom! My mind just turned into a blank, barren wasteland in that instant.

Pursuing me?

Before my rusty brain could even process that insane bit of information, his fiery lips crashed down on mine.

And trust me, it wasn’t just some light, testing kiss. He kissed with the raw dominance of a top Alpha, forcefully and yet so passionately prying my lips apart, claiming every breath left in me. The rich taste of whiskey and the sharpness of cedar overwhelmed every inch of my senses. Intense shivers, like jolts of electricity, coursed through every fiber of my being, leaving me trembling.

I struggled hard, grabbing the lapels of his jet–black, perfectly tailored suita away just enough for us to breathe.

Panting heavily, I stared at him in utter disbelief. “So… you mean… you like me?”
