Mated To The Alpha King (Raven and Ethan) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Alpha Ethan POV

I walked out of the gardens before I would do another stupid thing, her words still playing inside of me.

You are a beast who thinks that he can control everyone just because they are under you.

She was right. I was changing–rapidly. By the day. In ways, I couldn’t even explain to myself. The man I was months ago wouldn’t have allowed a maid to challenge him with her gaze, much less with her words. Yet Haven had done both. I shook my head to clear the thought, I can’t let her affect me.

She is nothing to me, just a cheap maid and a slave. I smiled to myself as the thought of me being with Raven the next morning and also having a taste of her Rashed through my mind.

The soft glow of the hallway lights guided me back to my room. I opened the door quietly and found Olivia curled beneath the covers, her soft breathing the only sound filling the space. She looked peaceful. I stood there for a while, watching her chest rise and fall, and for some reason, I felt guilty. Why was Iso interested in a maid and not having time for my mate the way I used to, even though she was also changing towards me? I stood there frozen in embrace until I walked over and pulled the covers back gently to slip into bed beside her.

Her scent was familiar, once comforting. Now it merely reminded me of what I was supposed to want. What the Moon Goddess had given me. But! couldn’t stop myself from thinking of Raven–her defiance, her fire, har kps trembling as she tried not to cry.

And also something about her that felt off, but I couldn’t quite place it.

I closed my eyes and forced my thoughts to silence. Sleep was flecting that night.

The Next Day

The next morning came with a dull ache in my head and tension in my muscles. I rose early, the house still quiet, the scent of dew clinging to the a through the cracked window, I showered, dressed in a loose black shirt and fitted trousers, and headed toward the study.

Thad summoned her.

But when I got there, she wasn’t there. Just make a cup of coffee and wait for her if she doesn’t come, then she will face my punishment.

I was halfway through a cup of strong black coffee when I heard it–the knock.

Firm, Timed, Controlled. Just like I told her to do.

I set the cup down and walked to the door, opening it. There she stood–Raven

A hoodie. Just as instructed. No makeup, Hair tied up messily. Her eyes, though, were alive with a hundred storms.

“You’re on time,” said flatly.

She nodded, stepping inside without a word. Her gaze moved quickly across the room, avoiding mine, then landing on the rug before the desk.

What are you waiting for?

“Strip.” I told her.

She froze. A flicker of defiance crossed her face, followed by a slow breath. She didn’t move.

I tilted my head, watching her. “You agreed to the appointment, Raven.”

Her lips parted slightly, the fight already bolling in her chest. This is humiliating,” she said under her breath

But not as humiliating as when I will hand you over to the council,

Chapter 37.

“You knew what this would be.”

“I didn’t know it would be this again

I walked close, slowly, until I was inches from her. “The agreement was full obedience. You want to live, don’t you? I’m giving you that chance

She clenched her jaw. Her hands trembled as she pulled the handle over her head, and slowly removed it, revealing the soft, pale skind remembere wore nothing underneath. My eyes moved slowly, tracing the curve of her collarbune, the tight buds of her nipples reacting to the air. Her breathing changed–but she didn’t cry, Not this time.

I took my time. Minutes passed in silence as I let my eyes take her in. I had seen her naked before, but somehow this moment held a weight hadn’t expected. Every inch of her was familiar–and yet, she was still untouchable. Ställ mine, but not mine.

“You can’t help yourself, can you?” she whispered,

I didn’t answer. Instead, I reached for my shirt, pulling it over my head, then unbuttoning my pants. Her eyes dropped before flicking back up to my face.

“Turn,” I said, My voice was gravel, need lacing every word. “Hold the table.”

She obeyed–slowly. Her hands rested on the edge, her back arching just enough to present herself fully I stepped behind her, my hand trailing lightly along her spine. She shivered.

You know what? You are my little slave, and your job is to satisfy me, I whispered in her ears, which made her shiver.

I stroked my dick a little more as I hold her waist, positioning her perfectly so I could get a better view of her butt.

Just as I was

was about to thrust into her, a sharp knock broke the silence.

I stiffened instantly.

Raven gasped, straightening quickly, but I grabbed her wrist. “Don’t move,” I said, my voice sharp.
