Chapter <b>92 </b>


    Nysa pov


    I


    I was tips….well, drunk if I was being honed. Brunk out of my mind.


    I wasn’t sure how I’d gotten to this point but then again, maybe I did, tine drink turned into another, and then another. So yes, i guess i knew early how I ended up the this


    Did regret it!


    No. Not really


    Did I want to keep drinking?


    Yes Yes, I did.


    The alcohol lett a burning, lingering taste as I drowned another mouthful and ced the half–empty bottle on myp, taking <b>a </b>deep breath as I stared up at the roof of the car. A sudden fit ofughter escaped me, though I didn’t <b>feel </b>any <b>real </b>joy.


    Just…emptiness.


    As <b>the </bughter died down, I turned slightly and nced to the side, my garending on Darius. His eyes were closed, and even then, he looked drop- dead gorgeous without even trying. Like a god who had descended to earth,


    How could someone be so attractive!


    From his eyes to <b>his </b>nose to his lips, he looked like the goddess herself had taken her time sculpting him.


    A thought crossed my mind as I stared at him,


    Maybe…if I had met him before Kieran in my past life, I would’ve been a <b>naive </b>girl, fangirling over the fact that a man like him was my mate, even if he


    clearly disliked me


    I chuckled at the thought.


    I probably would’ve believed I could change him, the cold, cursed, and ruthless <b>Lycan </b>King and <b>we’d </b>live happily ever after


    But something I learned the hard way in my past life… something I’d promised myself never to do again


    Was love someone.


    I would never let <b>anyone </b>into my heart like I didst time, because that was my biggest mistake,


    let someone in and in the end, they destroyed my family and everything I cared about


    So even if this man… this man


    in who sometimes <b>made </b>my heart beat faster than I’d like.


    <b>ould </b>never tall for him.


    I would


    I’d let myself be <b>used</b>, and then cast aside when he was done.


    <b>Sul</b>… Tcouldn’t help but pout.


    Because this man……….


    He <b>was </b>walking temptation.


    <b>1/3 </b>


    TUY?U THU 31 <b>Ju </b>


    I couldn’t all for him.


    But resting him? That was the hard part


    How is he so attractive?” Imuttered to myself, then pushed up on the seat, nearly wing off in the process inhaled sharply, deaded myself, and imaty crawled toward his side, leaning in just a little closet,


    <b>as </b>those piercing white eyes locked on mine, making my breath hitch and a shiver run down my


    Almost immediately, his eyes snapped open, and Hinze <b>as </b><b>th </b>


    spine.


    Oh Goddess, how are his eyes so beautiful?.


    I swallowed nervously, different thoughts running through my head at that moment but the one that made my lips curl into a smart was thic


    So what if he was attractive? What if he <b>had </b>a face no one else on this earth could rival when his insides were udy?


    To truly be attractive, you had to be good, inside and out. But this man…


    “Why are you this attractive… yet your personality sucks? It’s unfair,” I muttered under my breath, my eyes narrowing into a re, lips curling into a pout


    His gaze sharpened at my words, but before he could process it, I slowly closed the distance between us, so close our lips nearly touched, but didn’t


    “Even if you have such <b>an </b>attractive face, you’re still ugly on the inside, so what’s the point?” asked, clicking my tongue, watching how he just stared at me without a single change in expression. But I kept going. I wasn’t even thinking about what was spilling from my lips at this point


    “You’re the handsome Lycan King, the powerful ruler of all werewolves…so what? You’re still mean and cruel.”


    This time<b>, </b>my voice grew louder–I <b>was </b>agitated now, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became


    “And you’re not just mean and cruel, but a coward! admit that I was the one who pulled you in that day, but how could you kiss me and touch me, then pull away at thest moment like that?” I scoffed, watching his eyes darken at the mention of the day in the bathroom, the day he let me.


    <b>Don’t </b>get me wrong, I swear I wasn’t upset because he didn’t go through with it. I swear I wasn’t


    And yet… I didn’t even know what I was mad about anymore. I just couldn’t stop.


    at I’m saying is, <b>you </b>should at least have the decency not to be so rude-


    “Do you think I wanted to continue that day? What I’m


    My words cut off, my eyes flying wide.


    The car jerked violently, <b>gliding </b>and bumping over something, sending me flying out of my seat and toward the floor


    and


    Everything happened in slow motion. My mouth opened, then closed, repeating the process, but no words escaped, only air as I watched Darius let out a quiet sigh. <b>Just </b>as i braced for impact, eyes squeered shut, his arm wrapped around my waist and he effortlessly pulled me back toward him.


    A gasp o escaped me.


    The next thing


    I know, I <b>was </b>sitting on hisp


    We were so close<b>, </b>his arm tight around my waist, our noses nearly touching. But that wasn’t even the worst part


    This position.


    Oh goddess.


    My legs were spread, straddling his, and I was basically witting right on his.


    Was that his bulge


    10:20 Thu. <b>31 </b>Jul


    G


    Maybe it was the alcohol still in my system or maybe not but I was definitely sitting on something hard


    Fuck.


    The alcohol wore off sost.


    1-1…“I stammered,pletely flustered, my face burning red in an <b>instant</b>.


    I caught the slight curve of Darius’s lips as he held me tighter, pulling me even closer. My breath hitched as I felt him press into me more firmly


    “Apologies, my king. Are you okay?” Drake’s voice came from the driver’s seat.


    Before I could respond or even process what was happening, Darius answered smoothly.


    “Yes. Keep driving. Don’t worry about it.”
