Alpha Damien's Breeder: The first night
Chapter 98: Confession

Chapter 98: Confession

"What? No!" Aurora resisted fiercely when the guards suddenly seized her arm with great force.

"You have no authority to do this, release me," she warned, facing Sarah. She had enough concerns to occupy her mind and couldn’t afford to remain in the dungeon or risk torture.

"Huh, I believe we are overlooking something here. I am the future Luna of this pack, set to be officially crowned in just two weeks." Her excitement was palpable when she learned of the Alpha’s order to hasten their marriage.

She was so overjoyed that she couldn’t contain her happiness and somehow ended up outside Dave’s room while wandering around. And, at last, she had something on Aurora that could drive her out of the mansion forever. Everything was falling into place, and she was the happiest woman on Earth.

"I acknowledge that, but you shouldn’t abuse your power," Aurora advised, although she knew it was futile.

"You don’t dictate my actions. Speaking of which, why was our marriage rushed? Has your love potion finally worn off? Is that why you plan to use it on his brother after failing to win over the Alpha? I knew you were a cunning woman," Sarah bombarded Aurora with numerous accusatory questions, leaving her head spinning in confusion.

"I never used a love potion on the Alpha, and I have no plans to do so," she retorted.

"Tsk tsk, then explain why he’s suddenly eager to get married when he brought you in to stop the marriage?" Sarah demanded answers.

"I... I don’t know," Aurora couldn’t disclose the contract or why Damien had suddenly requested the annulment of their contract. She had no answer for Sarah’s questions.

"Exactly, sly bitch. Lock her up for three days and conduct an investigation afterward," Sarah ordered the guards and turned to leave.

"You can’t do this, aren’t you afraid of the consequences?" Aurora didn’t give up and continued to struggle in the guards’ grasp.

"Do you have time to worry about others?" Smirking, she asked before leaving the room.

Aurora was thrown into the dungeon on Sarah’s orders.

Far away from the mansion, inside a sleek red sports car, two figures lay sleeping in the front seats. While Charlotte was still fast asleep, Dave had awakened and was quietly admiring her peaceful expression. For some reason, he found immense joy in watching her sleep. Why had he never noticed this side of her before?

He would do anything to wake up beside her every morning and be with her every day. Was he truly certain he wanted to let her go? If she agreed to leave Ronald for him, he was willing to take on the role of the father to her unborn child. Thinking about having a child with her sounded fulfilling. He gently leaned forward and placed his ear near her stomach, hoping to hear a baby’s movements, but there was none.

He knew little about pregnancy, but he was sure babies kicked in their mother’s belly. He had witnessed Scarlet’s pregnancy, so he had a good understanding of how it worked. Or was it because Charlotte’s belly hadn’t started to show yet?

Leaning in closer, he focused intently on what he was doing and accidentally woke Charlotte.

"Ahhh, you pervert!" Startled by his intimate position, she slapped him across the face and pushed him away.

"I am sorry, it’s not what you think," he quickly explained, preventing her from yelling or hitting him.

"So what were you doing?" Her breaths were uneven, her eyes widened in fear. Previously, she wouldn’t have minded being in such an intimate position with Dave, but now she was engaged, and it was completely unacceptable.

"I..." He hesitated and scratched his neck, finding it difficult to confess.

"I just wanted to feel the baby in your belly," he finally admitted, his face turning beet red from embarrassment.

"Baby? What baby?" Charlotte was confused and didn’t understand what he was talking about.

"I overheard Ronald mentioning not wanting to stress your baby at your second brother’s wedding," Dave explained.

"He did that? I am not entirely sure what that was about, but Ronald often uses endearing names to address me. ’Baby’ is his favorite," Charlotte clarified. Now that they were discussing it, could that have been what he meant in the dark room that day?

"Really?" Dave’s face turned red with embarrassment, and he immediately averted his gaze, not wanting her to see his blush. It was the first time she had witnessed Dave acting bashful in front of her. In the past, she had only been with him when he was sad, always seeking ways to bring happiness to him.

"Come on, everyone gets confused at times. But do you like children?" She teased, playfully smacking his arm and inquiring.

"No, I don’t," he lied.

"Oh, yes, you do!" Charlotte didn’t stop teasing him and began tickling him.

"I said no!" Holding both of her hands down, he pressed them against her seat and leaned in closer.

Her heart raced, they were so near that she found it hard to breathe properly. Up close, his lips were so tempting that she yearned to know what they tasted like.

"When you look at me like this, I really want to kiss your lips," he admitted, his face reflecting his inner struggle and perhaps some regret. Did Dave have feelings for her?

"Don’t tease me, it’s enough to tempt me," he warned, loosening his grip on her hands and gradually moving away. Just before he could distance himself further, Charlotte suddenly grasped him by the neck and kissed him.

He widened his eyes, not expecting such a bold move from her.

Charlotte closed her eyes and ignorantly moved her lips against his, unsure of what to do. With a smirk, Dave seized her by the waist and assumed control of the kiss.

Pulling his lips away from hers for a moment, he said, "Now, I can’t control myself, don’t try to stop me." Though his words made her apprehensive, Charlotte was on the edge herself, and she wanted him as much as he wanted her.

He took her lips in his and started kissing her slowly, his movements possessive yet gentle. He captured her upper lip and lightly nibbled on it, she felt the sting, but it quickly transformed into pleasure. His lips tasted heavenly, and she yearned for more of him.

"Charlotte, I think I am in love with you," he confessed, pulling away from her and gazing at her, awaiting her response.

"I..." The confession was sudden and unexpected. Dave had finally fallen in love with her, the man she had spent years loving had finally acknowledged her. Why was life so cruel? She was here, engaging in an affair with another man while her beloved was busy dealing with a critical situation in another country.

"I can’t accept your love, Dave. Ronald made me happy after you broke my heart. It’s unfair to betray him for you," she pushed him away and gazed out of the car window.

"I am sorry, just ignore my confession," he scolded himself for allowing his feelings to distract her and revved the engine.

As they drove back to the mansion, Charlotte continued to sigh repeatedly, unable to stop thinking about Dave’s confession. He thought he could just confess his feelings after rejecting her for years. She had tried everything to capture his attention, but he had never acknowledged any of her efforts. Why did he always shatter her determination when she had finally made up her mind to forget about him?

Dave drove worriedly back to the mansion, cursing himself inwardly for having messed with her emotions again. He started thinking of ways to make her happy and eventually, he thought of one. Giving her to the right man, Ronald. If he was able to give her the happy life she deserved, he would be more than happy to help.

"Charlotte," noticing her sniffles, he parked the car and called her name.

"I am fine, let’s just go," she kept her eyes averted, not wanting him to see her in such a vulnerable state.

"I am sorry for messing with your emotions, I couldn’t help confessing how I felt. I know you love Ronald, and I promise to do everything to make you happy. I know it’s too late for me, but give me a chance to bring happiness into your life. After you and Ronald get married, I promise to never appear in front of you again," he implored.

"I don’t need your help to be happy," she refused.

"I am no longer in control of my emotions. When I see you, I want to hold you in my arms. When I smell you, I want to kiss you. Everything about you drives me crazy, and I can’t think straight. I am only asking for a chance to make amends and bring happiness into your life," he pleaded.

"Are you sure you want to hand me over to another man?" She finally looked into his eyes and asked.

"I....I am not sure Charlotte, but I do know that I want to make you happy." He answered, sincerely.
