Nelly found Alpha Kilian 's reaction rather strange, but seeing how agitated the man was, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The next second, Alpha Kilian pulled her into his embrace and held her tightly. “Alpha Kilian .”
“Hm?” the man answered in a taut voice, sounding like he was trying to suppress something. “Is everything all right?” Nelly asked softly.
After letting out a heavy sigh, Alpha Kilian replied, “Yes. I'm just scared.” “What are you scared of?”
“I'm scared that you will fall for his lies again and leave me without a word,” the man replied.
When Nelly heard that, she looked up at him and said, “I didn't fall for his lies. I was just using him to find out the truth about Midnight fang pack . Now that I've gotten my revenge, I will not be deceived by anything.”
Alpha Kilian remained silent for a few seconds before looking at the woman with a serious expression and saying solemnly, “Nelly , it's hard for you to understand, but you can never imagine what a man is capable of doing just to reach his goals. Boss is someone who would use any unscrupulous means to achieve his aims. Just promise me that you won't contact him again. Leave the rest of the things to me to handle.”
Since the man had already said so much, there was nothing else Nelly could say.
She looked at him with a gentle expression and nodded. “Sure. I will leave it to you then!”
Alpha Kilian seemed rather surprised by the woman's answer and stared at her with an inexplicable gaze in his eyes.
“What's wrong? Didn't you ask me to let you handle it? Have you changed your mind?” Nelly cocked her brows and asked warily.
Suddenly, Alpha Kilian tightened his arms around her and seemed as if he wanted to envelop her body with his own. Caressing Nelly 's face, the man whispered, “I'll gladly do so.”
Nelly smiled and stayed quietly in his arms.
The smell of alcohol combined with the man's enthralling pheromones was extremely alluring to her, and she felt as if she was intoxicated.
“Alpha Kilian .” “Hm?”
“I am used to taking care of everything myself as I have been doing that ever since I was young. That's why I might neglect your feelings sometimes. It's not intentional. However, don't worry. I will learn to depend on you and share everything with you. Similarly, whenever you feel tired or down, you have to let me know as well. I will... Mmm...”
Before the woman could finish speaking, Alpha Kilian suddenly lifted her chin and kissed her lips passionately.
The way the man kissed was so domineering and invading that Nelly could feel her knees going weak, and a blush started spreading across her exquisite face.
After a long while, Alpha Kilian finally ended the kiss and rubbed the top of Nelly 's head with his chin gently.
Hugging the woman tightly, he said, “Nelly , I love you... I really do.” Nelly smiled when she heard those three words.
She looked up slowly and met Alpha Kilian 's tender gaze before reaching out and caressing his face.
Noticing his tightly-knitted brows, Nelly smiled wider. The next moment, she put her arms around
the man's neck and leaned in closer to him before whispering next to his ear, “Me too. I've loved you for a long time.”
Alpha Kilian froze for a second when he heard that. His expression softened as the grim gaze in his eyes slowly turned into that of desire.
Looking down at the woman in front of him, Alpha Kilian pulled her toward him forcefully and started kissing her lips domineeringly...
Nelly 's silken tresses were spread across the bed as Alpha Kilian pinned her down. With one hand supporting Nelly 's head, Alpha Kilian continued kissing her passionately.
In response, Nelly gazed deeply into his eyes.
At that moment, lust and passion were ignited, and the couple ripped each other's clothes off.
Everything seemed to be progressing naturally due to their burning desire for each other... This time, nothing could stop them.
Just then, Alpha Kilian 's phone suddenly rang, disrupting the silence of the night. The man frowned, and a trace of displeasure appeared on his face.
Even though he knew that it had to be an urgent matter for someone to be calling at that hour, nothing was more important than making Nelly his.
Without stopping his actions, Alpha Kilian continued kissing the woman while fishing out his phone from his pocket.
After he took out his phone, the man declined the call and tossed it aside.
As the room fell silent once again, Alpha Kilian continued kissing Nelly , who was pinned under him. However, a few seconds later, his phone rang again.
As the couple was interrupted at such a crucial moment, their mood was more or less affected.
With her bare shoulders showing, Nelly turned to look at Alpha Kilian . Although the woman appeared to be a little dazed from the kiss, she was able to stay rational and said, “Maybe it's something very
important. Otherwise, they wouldn't be calling at this hour. Do you want to answer it first?” After hearing what Nelly said, Alpha Kilian frowned and grabbed his phone reluctantly.
It was Spencer who was calling.
Alpha Kilian 's body stiffened after seeing that, and he instantly sobered up.
Noticing the change in the man's expression, Nelly looked at him and asked, “What's the matter? What happened?”
Alpha Kilian kept his phone before looking at Nelly and replying, “It's nothing. It's just about DX Group. I might have to go out and meet Dave for a while to discuss some matters.”
“Go ahead. Serious matters come first,” Nelly replied.
Alpha Kilian looked at Nelly as his gaze darkened. He seemed reluctant to leave. “I'll wait for you to be back,” the woman said softly.
Alpha Kilian smiled when he heard that and replied, “I'll be back in no time!” Nelly nodded.
Only then did Alpha Kilian get up from the bed. Looking at the woman, who was still lying on the bed, he bent over and planted a kiss on her forehead before saying, “You should sleep first. I'll be back soon.”
“Okay!” Nelly nodded.
After tucking the woman in, Alpha Kilian finally turned around and left.
A while after the helicopter left, Alpha Kilian retracted his gaze and turned to leave.
However, the moment he turned his head, he saw the woman who was standing at a distance.
Nelly was dressed in black from head to toe, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. She was also looking up at the sky.
Alpha Kilian froze when he spotted the woman, and his eyes narrowed.
Just then, Nelly looked away from the sky and fixed her gaze on Alpha Kilian before walking toward him. “Why are you not sleeping?” Alpha Kilian asked the woman, who had stopped in front of him.
After taking a deep inhale, Nelly replied, “How can I sleep when you're feeling uneasy?” Alpha Kilian looked at Nelly and felt a surge of emotions, not quite knowing what to say. “What happened?” Nelly asked.
“It's Spencer,” the man replied after a brief moment of contemplation.
“Spencer?” Nelly narrowed her eyes and questioned further, “What's the matter with him?”
“He and Thaila have been ambushed, and they need help now. Dave had gone to get them,” Alpha Kilian replied.
When the woman heard that, a hint of worry flashed across her eyes as she asked, “How did that happen? What's going on?”
“I'm not sure of the details yet, but it shouldn't be too serious. After all, one of them is Darknetz Ace, and the other one is known as Miraculous Hands. I'm sure they'll be fine!” Alpha Kilian answered.
“Will Dave manage all by himself?” Nelly scrunched her brows when she heard that. “Don't worry.” Alpha Kilian tried to reassure the woman.
Emotions surged beneath Nelly 's eyes as she asked, “Did you not go because of me?” “Also, because of our three little ones and everything here,” the man replied.
Nelly twitched her lips when he heard that. She fixed her gaze on Alpha Kilian and remained silent for a long time before replying, “We will be all right here. Besides, with me around, I won't let anything bad happen to the kids...”
“But what if this is a part of Midnight fang pack 's scheme? Do you think I can bring myself to leave you guys in such a dangerous situation?” Alpha Kilian asked.
Nelly pressed her lips together and did not answer.
“Nelly , haven't we already discussed this? You said that you would try to depend on me,” Alpha Kilian carried on.
“I'm just worried about Spencer.”
“Similarly, I'm worried about you too. In fact, to me, nothing is more important than you and the kids,” the man enunciated.
There was nothing else Nelly could say. As such, she pursed her lips and kept quiet.
Looking at the woman, Alpha Kilian said, “Don't worry. With Dave around, they will be fine. Trust me. Now, all we have to do is to have some patience and wait for them.”
“Okay.” Nelly nodded.
With that, the couple sat there and waited.
Nelly gazed at the night sky expressionlessly. It was hard to tell what she was feeling at that moment. “When did you and Spencer know each other?” Alpha Kilian suddenly asked.
When Nelly heard that, she retracted her gaze and started recalling the old times. “We knew each other when we were a lot younger. It has been a very long time.”
Alpha Kilian merely stared at the woman.
“It was right after my dad died. I wanted to use the computer when Grandpa and I reached home after visiting you at the hospital, but Grandpa didn't allow me to. So, I bought a second-hand laptop with my savings. However, I met some swindlers, and they wanted to teach me a lesson as they didn't manage to cheat me. A few large men chased after me and hit me. When I was on the verge of death, Spencer suddenly appeared!”
Even though Nelly sounded casual and made it seem as if it was nothing serious, a cold glint flashed past Alpha Kilian 's eyes as he listened.
Narrowing his eyes, the man asked, “What happened after that?”
“After that, Spencer saved me. As such, he's aware of my secret all along,” Nelly replied.
“I meant what happened to those people who took advantage of you!” Alpha Kilian asked between gritted teeth.
Nelly could tell that Alpha Kilian was infuriated and smiled in amusement. “I went to look for them to take my revenge after learning one year of grappling techniques. One of them was crippled, another one was paralyzed in one arm, and a third one lost his sense of hearing. I think that was what happened. I
can't really remember now.”
“You fought three of them single-handedly?”
“I went for them separately,” Nelly said before continuing, “I was still young at that time. I won't do anything that puts myself at a disadvantage.”
When Alpha Kilian heard that, he visibly relaxed. Otherwise, he would certainly go after those people when he returned.
“Carry on,” Alpha Kilian said.
“Then, Spencer and I continued to keep in touch. Sometimes, when he needed my help, I would help him. Of course, when I have any needs, he helps me too,” Nelly said.
“When you have needs?” Alpha Kilian narrowed his eyes. He did not feel comfortable hearing those words. Feeling speechless, Nelly stared at the man and said, “I don't mean that kind of need.”
Alpha Kilian raised his brow and replied, “I understand what you meant. I just don't like the way you said it.”
Of course, Nelly knew that Alpha Kilian was just being jealous. “So, so we continued keeping in touch. Although we are not that close, we probably knew each other best.”
Those words did not sound pleasant to Alpha Kilian again.
With a crease between his brows, the man fixed his gaze on Nelly .
Looking back at Alpha Kilian , Nelly said, “For many years, we only contacted each other whenever we needed help. It was only after a long time that we naturally became friends. We are friends who have each other's backs, but we are purely friends!”
