Alpha’s Hybrid Cinderella
Chapter 31

He was going to break my heart. He was going to break my heart, and I was going to let him.

All of this, everything I had done to try to heal the wound he'd left in my chest when he quietly rejected me for the sake of replaceing his future mate, the house hunting, the tears, the heavy anchor wrapped around my heart... It would be for nothing if I let him do this. Even so, I had no strength to deny him. I cared about Evan. I cared about him so much I probably even loved him, even though we had only known each other for no more than a few months. And I couldn't replace it in me to tell him no.

He carried me toward the house, still kissing me feverishly but picking up the pace. The drive to the manor, he had only barely restrained himself, but now it was too late for that. He left the car parked haphazardly in the driveway instead of leaving in the garage, and at this late hour, no one stopped us as he carried me through the doors and took me upstairs.

The journey there was dangerous. He pressed me against the wall several times as he explored and devoured my neck and shoulder like he had earlier, nipping and biting at the soft skin and pressing hard into me like he wanted to make love standing up right on the stairs.

But eventually we made it to his room, his strong hands grinding me against him. He had forced me to wrap my thighs around his waist, and with my bare skin against the rough fabric of his clothes, he rubbed and thrust against me until I was panting and overwhelmed.

The door slammed shut behind him, but I was already on the bed. He had thrown me down so he could tear off his clothes, and then he crawled onto the bed with his pants only half-undone. He ripped the edges of my bathrobe apart and kneeled between my legs, eating me up with his eyes even as his hands squeezed and roamed up my thighs, my waist, and even my breasts.

I moaned, almost crying with the anticipation. My heart swelled as he forced my legs even farther apart. Was this it? Was he giving himself to me?

Maybe not. Maybe he was just using me for the moment, or maybe he thought he was in love with me for a little while but would cure himself of it once his fated mate came along.

But for now, he wanted me. He stared down at me with wide eyes, taking in every inch of me as he pulled my legs up and bent them at his sides, and he leaned down to kiss me once more.

He groped my breasts hard, rough fingers moving over the n*****s again and again and strumming them with painful strength. He was so powerful. He could do anything he wanted to me, and he did. My body responded to his every rough touch with shivers and jerks, and when he began pinching my tightened n*****s and twisting them hard enough to hurt, I moaned into his shoulder, helpless.

"Claudia..."

He paused, heavy body draped over mine, and I took in a shuddering breath at the hesitation. "Claudia, I..."

He kissed me again, but more gently this time, and I melted into his embrace when his movements became slower and more languid. He had been panicked and desperate before, but now that he had me under him, now that he knew I was going nowhere, he could slow down. I whimpered when he lavished me with his tongue, traveling from my lips to my chest, and when he pulled my n****e into his mouth to lick and suck at it, I held onto him with trembling fingers clutching at his hair.

I was so nervous. I'd never done this before, and the only time I'd seen a naked body was in biology and anatomy classes. But here Evan was, shirt off, revealing powerful, bare shoulders and rippling muscles everywhere. He was so strong and hard against me... both above and below. "Evan..."

He rolled his hips into me. My bathrobe was gone; he had pulled it out from under me and tossed it to the floor. His pants were down farther now, not completely off but enough to let the bulge of his erection strain out and push against me. I moaned again when he thrust harder, teasing my entrance with his pressure. "Claudia... you taste so good..."

He mouthed my other breast, sucking hard, but his hand came down between us while I was distracted to stroke at my clit. I jumped with another moan, but he didn't slow down. He stroked harder, spreading my wetness around the sensitive bud and making me cry aloud at the rippling pleasure building, building, building...

I was so sensitive I climaxed just from that. He was ready for me though and rubbed even faster circles against my c**t, and to make it worse, he scraped his teeth around my n****e and pulled. I screamed, body jerking as pure ecstasy exploded between my thighs, and the wet sounds of his fingers working their way inside me mixed with my soft pleas for mercy.

"Claudia, I'm going to... "

I lay there, bathed in sweat, as he lowered his pants and boxer briefs enough to let his straining erection out. My eyes widened, but before I could protest at the sheer size of it, he was already guiding it inside me. I whimpered, but he leaned down and kissed my pain away as he pushed inside me, and at last my body relaxed to wrap around him a moment later.

He was so thick, so long. I could feel every inch of him inside me as I shivered, overcome by the pure sensation of his skin against mine. He let out several harsh exhales as he prepared himself... and then he began to stroke in and out of me. "Oh! Evan! Evan!"

He held me down and pinned my wrists to the bed above my head with one hand as he pleasured my breasts, squeezing with his large palms and rolling the mounds as he entered me again and again. "Evan, you're-"

"You feel so good," he groaned. "You're so perfect. So tight. I..."

He kissed me again as his pumps sped up, his rigid length sliding in and out of me faster and faster. He parted my walls more roughly with each penetration, his Alpha strength making my vulnerable body shake and writhe underneath him. He was so powerful, so strong. His hips slapped against mine faster and faster as he pounded into me, building me up for another c****x.

"Ah

ahh, Evan! Evan!"

I writhed as his hand dragged down from my breast to finger my clit again, pinching and twisting it into submission. His hand! His touch, his everything, oh I couldn't take it anymore- "Claudia, come for me," he ordered. "Come for me now!"

I came with a scream as he continued to drive into me, and I spasmed around him as he groaned. He stroked in and out so fast the bed was shaking dangerously, my damp body moving up and down according to his whims. In, out, in, out- "Claudia!"

He slammed into me one last time, body rigid, and ropes of warmth coated my insides as he climaxed inside me.

I didn't have the energy to worry about what he had just done. All I knew was that we had made love and that he was murmuring in my ear, praising me, telling me how perfect I was.

I held him close, eyes closed.

"Evan, tell me what your curse is."

He had been stroking my hair as I dozed on and off, but at my abrupt question, his gaze sharpened and his fingers stilled. "What?" he asked. "How did you know about that?"

"I'll tell you if you tell me your answer first."

He was silent for a long moment. "A year ago, after I killed Adrain and his followers, I had a dream. The Moon Goddess was in it. She... told me I was blind with hatred and cruelty, and that if I didn't change my ways, I would lose my mate, and my life." "You had a vision?"

"I didn't know it then, but yes. After that, my wolf became weaker and weaker. Only the ones closest to me know, but sometimes... I can't even turn into a wolf. It's out of reach."

I let out a slow breath. "So that's why you want to replace your mate. Because you're getting weaker."

"Yes. And I won't give up on my revenge. I can't. I don't care about the curse as long as..."

I buried my face in his shoulder. Why? Why couldn't he care? Didn't he want to stay alive at least for the sake of proving to all his enemies he was strong enough to survive? Why was he throwing away his life when the Moon Goddess had already warned him to change his ways...

I wished there was a way for me to break the curse. I wished there was a way to make Evan love me, truly love me. I wished...

I hid my face and my tears.

What were we going to do?
