Chosen By An Alpha
Chapter 27

No One’s POV

Her heart skipped a beat and she instantly looked for the source of the noise. Her eyes snapped down the ground. There lay the dead body of a man. Her hand came up to her mouth in reflex. She slowly turned her head toward Zayden and saw his gun in his hand and it was still pointed toward that man.

Her eyes widened in fear and she tried to move away from Zayden but he didn’t let her go. All the old fear rushing to her body and features, just a moment before, she had kept her fear aside and it was back again. Zayden looked at her sacred body and felt bad for her. She obviously had never seen such violence in her life, and seeing this and the previous incident right in front of her eyes, was terrible. He knew this but he didn’t have any choice. He had to kill that vampire, who was about to attack her observing her b***d. He had sensed his presence a few moments before but since that vampire was not creating a mess, he promised not to start the war first but the moment Grace showed her finger from where b***d was oozing.

He knew that she was in danger. With the vampire’s speed, he was about to attack Grace but thankfully, he was already prepared so without wasting any single second, he took out his gun filled with Silver bullets and shot him. The body fell back on the ground with a thud and fell unconscious instantly.

His gun had specialized silver bullets, those silver bullets used to melt in the b***d of any person once released from the gun so that his enemies couldn’t take out that bullet easily.

‘Eric, there is a vampire over here. Burn him alive before he gets his sense back.’, He mind-linked.

‘Okay, Alpha.’

After a minute, Eric and Aiden came there wearing shots and bowed down their heads in front of their Alpha and Luna. Once Zayden nodded, they broke the head of that vampire. Grace quickly whimpered and hid her face in Zayden’s chest.

Zayden didn’t want to shoot that vampire in front of her, but he had no choice. Now, he knew she would hate him forever, which was true. He kept his gun on the table.

“Look at me and open your mouth, Grace.”, He said, which came like a command. She quickly opened her eyes and looked at him in bewilderment. How could he ask her to eat when he just killed a man in front of her? For her, it was neither ethically appropriate nor was possible for her to come out. Zayden had already planned to feed her with his own hand in a romantic way, now that he knew that whatever just happened had killed all the romance of this evening, so he planned to use his force to feed her the food. While Grace was trying her best to hold back a sob but failed. “DON’T CRY, GRACE AND OPEN YOUR DAMNED MOUTH TO EAT THE FOOD.”, He commanded her painfully.

Grace quickly wiped the tears from the back of her hand and opened her mouth. She knew that if he wanted to have dinner with her then nothing and no one could stop him, including her.

“I am sorry for what I did. I shouldn’t have killed him in front of you but at that moment, that was the only thing I could do at that moment. He was a…”

“I am tired and feeling sleepy.”, Grace said, interrupting Zayden in between. She was not interested in listening to the excuses of Zayden. She wanted to say more than that like you are a psycho and cold-blooded murderer and even if you apologize, it wouldn’t do any good but she had the guts to say that.

Zayden sighed and snaked his arm over her waist. Grace wanted to fight with him over this as well but she knew it was of no use, so she let it be.

When she woke up, she saw Zayden looking at her keenly, startled by his act, she quickly sat on the bed, keeping a hand over her chest.

‘God! He scared me.’, She thought, breathing heavily.

“You look beautiful while sleeping even though you were snoring.”, He joked about the last part.

“I.I don’t snore.”, Grace quickly counters back, narrowing her eyes.

Zayden smiled and gave a blue box to her. “This is for you. I wanted to give this last night after dinner but because of that incident. It slipped my mind.”, He said and signaled Grace to take it. She took it half-heartedly because she didn’t have a choice of saying NO. “Check it and tell me whether you like it or not?”

Grace opened the box and found a beautiful pearl necklace. It was simple and elegant, not to forget it was damn too expensive.

“Do you like it?”

“Hmm”, She nodded. “It’s beautiful.”

“Great. Get ready quickly and make sure to wear this.”, She nodded again in Zayden’s words. He perked her cheek and left the room.

After getting ready, when Grace came downstairs, she found it weird to witness Zayden in a navy blue colored three-piece suit. She wondered when he was dressed so professionally, that too at home.

“You forgot to wear that necklace, sweetheart!”, Zayden commented the moment his eyes landed on Grace. Her eyes widened in fear when she heard him. She remembered keeping the necklace on the table to wear after getting ready but in the end, she forgot to wear it.

She was so dead.

“I.I…”

“It’s fine. You look beautiful even without a necklace. You don’t need to run back to our room to wear it.”

Grace kept looking at him for a while before opening her mouth. “It’s weird.”

“What is weird?”

“I thought you would be angry and would behave in the same way just like you did yesterday in the car.”, She said.

“Truth to be told. I am angry. But, I have promised myself not to scare you anymore. Your fear is the last thing I want to see in your eyes.”, He said politely. Grace was baffled by his sudden change in character. A person who never missed a chance to dominate her is thinking about her.

‘Did he sleep on the wrong side of the bed?’

‘Or the sun rises from the west today?’

‘Or I am daydreaming?’
