Chapter 65

Attraction can be dangerous if it's turned into an obsession.

Lia didn't even realise that he was losing himself obsessing over the boy in front of him.

Despite his overwhelming presence, there was something else. Something that pulled Lia in, like a moth drawn to the alluringly dangerous flame.

He positions himself as close as possible to Alpha, almost drawn magnetically to the dangerous allure, despite all the threat. He's never seen such a beautiful man with such a ravishing aura before, but beauty can often hide a dark truth. 

And now that he's seen him, how can he walk away?

Lia's life used to be boring, repetitive, and predictable. It wasn't something that he enjoyed. He never finds someone interested, someone he wants to love, someone he wants to keep looking at with a fascinated enticement. 

Suddenly and speedily, a strong grip closed around his wrist, fingers digging into skin fiercely causing him to wince and gasp as pain shot through him, a completely opposite pain to his intoxicating obsession that had engulfed his mind. Because this pain hurts. 

But before he could react, Alpha yanked him towards him, the force pulling Lia off balance. Helpless, Lia's face collided with the hard, bare expanse of Alpha's chest. The impact was both jarring and electrifying, leaving him breathless, pain and desire coursing through his veins.

Alpha's silent violence spoke louder than words, a reminder of the danger Lia had willingly embraced. Alpha's arm curled around Lia's waist, drawing the equally bigger man against his muscular frame. He held Lia in place, preventing him from escaping. So, Lia was trapped. In Alpha's confused mind, he was just scrutinising the strange human that didn't seem to be scared of him, but what he didn't know was that he was causing a sweet malfunction to his victim's head who shivered from his touch. 

A small part of Lia wanted to flee, to break free from Alpha's iron grasp and run as far away as he could to save himself from his own insane thoughts. His rational brain screamed at him to flee from this dangerous, violent, and unpredictable guy. But his instincts refused to listen, a deep and initial need drawing him inexplicably closer to Alpha. 

He almost moaned when the beast squeezed his slim waist over the clothes. For the bewildered beast, he was trying to scare Lia to instill pain in him. But for someone who both loves to give and feel the pain Lia felt immense pleasure from that squeeze. 

He could feel Alpha's warm breath tickling his neck, the sensation sending a shiver down his spine. He was hyper aware of every part of their bodies touching, the pressure of Alpha's hand on his back, the heat of his skin against Lia's cheek.

Lia was bewitched and horny as hell. And he could not help but want this man to touch him more. He needed him to make love to him so badly. 

The lust was consuming him. And when he shyly looked at Alpha, the only thought running in his mind was that he wanted this man.

But was it just the lust that made him risk his life by breaking into this hell of a mansion for this guy or was it something more?

Did he really feel attracted to Alpha because of his looks or did he actually want Alpha because his heart wanted him?

And was this all really worth it?

It was too late for those thoughts because he was already deeply caught up in his addiction to this beast.

I want you. Those words were spoken softly in his head, yet they carried a weight of meaning.

Lia's eyes widened slightly, and the truth of the situation plunged in. He was truly and utterly caught in the trap of love. 

Alpha's grip was tight, both on his wrist and waist which caused both the place to throb. His heart pounded as adrenaline flooded his senses, leaving him light-headed and disoriented. Nails digging in both places were leaving bruises. 

In a moment of desperation, Lia's free hand shot up, fingers digging into the hard muscle of Alpha's arm in an attempt to make him loosen the vice-like grip but the beast didn't even flinch. Lia's hand was in pain but it wasn't in his senses to take off his eyes from that mesmerising face. He inhaled deeply, sucking in his breath, the pain was bearable but not the closeness with this beast.

Lia's cock stiffened, pressing against the rough fabric of his jeans. He was painfully hard. 

"Shhit-Ah!" A low groan escaped his lips as his arousal intensified, the mania almost intolerable.

And for the first time, ever since he entered this room, he saw a twitch in Alpha's dull face, slightly frowning at the sound he just moaned out unconsciously. 

Lia blushed, embarrassed at his own reaction. He had never been one to hide his desires, but now, with Alpha's intense gaze on him, he felt vulnerable and sensitive.

Alpha's frown deepened, confusion crossing his face not understanding the meaning of that sound. He seemed conflicted, as if uncertain what to do. Lia swallowed hard, his heart pounding as Alpha's grip on his wrist tightened even more. 

Lia stared into those eyes, eyes that were burning with dark madness. But in Lia's delusional head, those eyes held the promise of pleasure and desirable pain, of a passion and a hunger that Lia had never experienced before.

His own eyes were hungry with desire. He wanted Alpha. He needed this beast. He would give anything to have this guy under him. Crying and asking for more. 

Without warning, Alpha pulled him close, closer than before making him land between his strong parted legs. Once again, a broken moan escaped his lips and he felt himself grow harder. 

Yet, opposite to his thoughts the latter seemed completely unaware, Alpha's frown deepening.

Lia knew that his arousal was noticeable, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to feel Alpha's touch, to feel the rising heat and tremendous strength of his body. He wanted to taste this guy's desires which the beast hasn't realised himself yet. 

However, his whole body stiffened in shock when the beast's hand suddenly slid up Lia's chest and those hard fingers securely wrapped around Lia's neck sending shivers down his spine. And this time Lia frowned in unease.

The grip wasn't tight, but the threat was still very real. If Alpha wanted to, he could easily snap his neck. Lia knew that he should feel afraid, but instead, a thrill ran through him. The realisation of his own mortality only worked to deepen his arousal.

Lia stared up at Alpha, his eyes wide with fear and excitement. He was willingly defenceless and at the mercy of the beast. He could feel his heartbeat pounding in his ears, his breath quickening. He could feel the blood rushing down there, his cock straining in his pants. It was infuriating, and extremely nerve-wracking to be sitting between those thick thighs while looking up with a trembling blissful gaze. 

But he wasn't losing his mind completely, not after seeing this beast ripping those gunned guards with just his hands. No, he was on alert, and that's what kept him sane.

The fingers tightened their grip. It wasn't much, but Lia felt his throat closing, the air barely coming in. He could feel his cock pulsing, aching for release.

Suddenly, the hand on his neck used force and pulled his head closer until their faces were inches apart. The movement was rough and aggressive, but Lia could sense the hesitation in Alpha's movements. It wasn't intended to hurt him. 

His heart thundered. Yet, even the danger, there was something thrilling and intoxicating about being at the mercy of such a powerful and dominating guy. A dominance he wanted to control and take down. 

The fingers on his neck tightened even more, making his eyes watery. He felt woozy, and his vision started to blur. He pushed his head back, trying to free himself, but Alpha's grip didn't let him. He gazed into Alpha's eyes, pleading for mercy, but he found no sympathy.

Then, slowly, Alpha brought his face closer. Their lips were barely an inch apart. Lia could feel the warmth of Alpha's breath. Lia's heart was beating madly, his breath coming in short, rushed gasps.

Just when Lia thought he couldn't take anymore, Alpha's other hand released his waist and clutched his hair, the fingers on his head clutched in a death-like trap and made him look at Alpha again. 

For some reason, the beast doesn't want him to look away or break free from him. 

He was disoriented, the sudden lack of oxygen leaving him discomforted. He could hear Alpha's heavy breathing tingling on his face. He opened his eyes and saw Alpha staring down at him, his expressions indistinct as always.

There was no time for him to ponder the situation, though, because there were noises of footsteps which caught Lia off guard but alerted. 

Eyes wide he breaks away from Alpha's hold pretty easily making the latter frown in confusion, it's the first time for the beast that someone has been able to break away from his grip so easily, without any struggle or fight.

The violent but bewildered beast was curious...no he was intrigued.

As the footsteps got closer, Lia turned towards the door. If he got caught now, it would be over for him. He needed to get out of there before they came here. 

But just as he was about to run, a strong hand gripped his shoulder and spun him around. His eyes met with Alpha's, the beast's gaze piercing through him.

His eyes softened instantly after looking at Alpha's confused state. He wanted to explain why he was here, who he was, and why he was leaving now but he could only say. 

"I'm sorry," he whispered. The beast blinked, his grip tightening, a warning sign to prevent Lia from leaving. It made Lia's heart racing fast and butterflies dancing in his stomach, understanding the sign quite quickly, seeing that he didn't want him to leave. 

However, he had to get out even though the thought of leaving Alpha was painful. He had already grown fond of the beast and his company, although he had only seen him twice. But he didn't want to leave. 

He doesn't know what they're doing to Alpha here or why he's in this state, but from the conversation, he heard of Wagnar, he's sure this guy is in some serious danger. 

He wanted to take Alpha with him, but would the beast come with him? Like, why would Alpha go with him in the first place? Do they know each other well? Was Lia eligible to take him out of here and keep Alpha just for himself? 

He clenched his fist. He doesn't know how he's already so fond of this man, but he can't ignore his heart and leave him. Why he's so attached to him, he doesn't know anything. 

He unconsciously rested his palm on Alpha's cheek and looked into those charming silver-brown eyes.

"I'll come back, okay? Wait for me." As soon as the words left his mouth, Lia turned and rushed to the door.

He needed to get out of here. He needed to get Alpha out of here. So, he didn't stop or look back. Because for doing that, he needed to make sure they didn't find him today. 

He needed to make sure that his feelings were true before thinking about whether putting his life in danger for this guy was worthwhile or not. 

The beast was surprised, this was the first time he had encountered such a crisis. He was always the one to be in control, but somehow, the strange human had managed to escape from him. He was confused and frustrated, his instincts telling him to go after that strange human and bring him back.

He tilted his head like a lost child, not understanding why his prey had escaped.

He looked back, the spot where Lia had stood was empty. There was no trace of him. It was strange, he felt a sense of loss, as if his favourite toy had been taken away.

He growled softly. He was angry, confused, frustrated, and there was something else. He walked back and sat on the same spot the strange human was sitting, touching the cold floor, growling in a low voice as if that way the strange human would magically appear again. 

However, no matter how much he touched it, softly or angrily, glaring at it as if scolding the poor floor. 

The strange human with soft and warm looks didn't come back. 

It made him frustrated. 

Why was his strange human not coming back?
