Alpha's Pregnant Mate

LivreLou Paranormal

He had some trouble focusing on her, “I’m sorry, baby. Come here,” he pulled her against his massive body and cradled her against his chest. “I love you. I love you so much.”
“Do you?” she mutters, “this isn’t love, Buck. You keep hurting me like this!”
“No. No, I won’t do it again,” he always started pleading with her after the damage was done. “Nobody loves you like I do. Come on, baby, you know this, don’t you? You and me forever!”
A wicked smile spreads over his lips as he leans in to kiss her, “who else would love someone like you?”
And this was the part where she should have packed her bags and left. But she never did, because she has been with Buck for seven years now and he made sure that no one in town would even look at her.
The few men brave enough to talk to her vanished soon after. There was truly no one left in this godforsaken town to love her. The girl stupid enough to let a man dictate her life.
“Now,” he let go of her and his massive body fell into the creaking armchair in front of the TV, “be a good girl and do as you’re told!” He blinked a few times as he grabbed the remote, “clean up and come back here! I am not finished with you.”
“I’m tired, Buck,” she sighed in an attempt to get away from him. For someone so drunk his hand moved pretty fast as he grabbed her wrist and dragged her towards him. She stumbled and almost fell into his lap.
“I said-,” he hissed through gritted teeth, “-go clean up!”
She dared to hold his gaze. A spark of defiance in hers, but his hand curled into her light brown hair. “Don’t make me angry again!” he snarled, “you don’t want that, do you?”
“No,” she gave in and let go a relieved breath as he let go of her. She moved extra slowly to their tiny bathroom. She took her time cleaning her face and brushing her teeth.
“Lila!” he yelled her name from the living room as loud noises from the TV followed the sound of his voice, “come back here. I don’t have all night!”
She took one last look in the mirror before she head back to the living room.
The sound of a woman s*creaming and m*oaning came from the TV. The sound echoed off the walls, loud enough for the neighbors to hear. But Buck didn’t care and they are too scared to call the cops on him.
“Yes,” Buck panted, one hand in his boxers, the other waving her closer.
“Please, Buck, I really rather-,”
“Shut up and get on your knees!”
