Marked By The Mad King Alpha (Phoebe and Perry) novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295: Chapter 295 The Choice Given

Jude’s POV

Shock rippled through me when Timothy’s lips suddenly pressed against mine. The kiss caught me completely off guard, and I braced myself for that familiar wave of revulsion that always came when a man touched me.

But it never came.

His touch felt different—electric, wanted. Instead of disgust, I craved more. I wanted his hands on me, wanted him closer. The shameless hunger that coursed through me terrified me, so I pushed him back, gasping for air.

"Sorry..." Timothy’s voice was soft as he pressed his lips to my forehead. "I shouldn’t have kissed you without asking first. That was disrespectful."

Respect. The word sounded foreign coming from someone talking to me. Who bothered respecting the lowest omega? A ruined woman with a bastard child?

Yet here was Timothy, speaking of respecting me. I tried to slip from his embrace—this hope felt too dangerous, too high to fall from.

"Please, just leave me..." My voice cracked. "I’m not worth it... you shouldn’t waste yourself on me... the moon goddess screwed up. This has to be some cosmic mistake..."

His arms tightened around me. "No. Don’t say that." His voice turned fierce. "I want you. The moon goddess didn’t mess up anything. You’re exactly who I want."

But his words only made the fear worse. The more he insisted, the more convinced I became that he’d eventually see the truth about me.

"Jude..." He seemed lost for words, which was strange for someone who could usually talk his way out of anything.

I could feel him struggling—holding me tight enough to keep me from running, but not wanting to hurt me. Finally, he made a choice that stunned me completely.

He released me and dropped to his knees.

"What are you doing? Get up!" Terror shot through me. If anyone saw the royal gamma kneeling before me, I’d be tortured for it. They’d assume I forced him somehow, though we both knew that was impossible.
