Elian’s POV
*****
The Alpha Prince was kissing him.
Lucian fucking Stormborne actually had him pinned against a wall and locked lips with him. Elian felt like he was lting as his eyes fluttered before closing slowly.
He wanted to push Lucian away. He wanted to slap him. He wanted to punch that smugness right out of his pretty face. But the mate bond was stronger than expected and pulled him in like a moth to a fla.
Lucian’s lips made him hunger for more. They were so soft, so succulent that he couldn’t help but kiss him back, his hands on the wall relaxing as he gasped raspily into his mouth.
[Seduction ter and possessiveness ters of Prince Lucian are both increasing rapidly. Safe to say that you might be getting so royal dick soon at this rate.]
Wait... What?!
As soon as Elian heard that last part from the system, his eyes shot open and he grunted, biting at Lucian’s lips.
"Argh!" Lucian grunted, taking a single step back but still having Elian pinned to the wall.
Lucian licked his lips, lowering his gaze to the blood with shock on his features. But then that shock soon turned to anger as he tightened his grip on Elian who shivered with fear.
"What the fuck was that?! Why did you bite ?!" He growled, his eyes blazing with a dangerous light. "You said you haven’t had a first kiss and I was graceful enough to be your first. You even reciprocated and—"
"You just went in for the kiss without asking if that’s what I want!" Elian snapped back, glaring at Lucian with a weird mix of arousal and spite.
That blood on his lips was oddly arousing.
[Looks like soone is freakier than he likes to think.]
Elian gritted his teeth at the sa mont that Lucian brought his face closer to him, his hot breath hitting him as a small smirk curled up his lips.
"Please. You wanted it. I was only helping you make a decision you were too shy to go for." He whispered mischievously, his voice stirring sothing in Elian’s mind. "I saw the way you stared at before I kissed you. The subtle way you leaned in before I could. Your skin craves it. It craves ."
Elian blinked repeatedly at the Alpha prince but he couldn’t co up with anything to say to him. His jaw was clenched but he slowly raised his chin.
"Are those affirmations for yourself?" He finally asked, furrowing his eyebrows. "Listen, you have pinned against a wall, trying to get to... Feel a certain way that I sure as hell don’t. I’m not the one craving sothing here, Alpha prince."
Lucian’s jaw clenched and his eyes beca icy as he once again tightened his grip on Elian’s arms. The latter gasped from the pain, feeling like his bones were about to snap.
"Y–You’re hurting ..." Elian whispered with a trembling voice, blinking back the pain. "Seriously, let go of ."
There was a flicker of hesitation in Lucian’s eyes as his gaze went to the bruising that was slowly showing on Elian’s wrists. And then in that mont, sothing like guilt flashed behind his eyes.
However, it disappeared as fast as it had appeared as he finally let go of Elian.
Elian grunted, clenching his fists which were sore. He glared at Lucian, who took a few steps back, staring at him with a stoic expression, although his eyes were cold.
[Well, this tension doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.]
Ugh, it’s telling him.
"Are you done? Are you satisfied now?" Elian asked, grinding his jaw as he straightened his posture. "You don’t get to publicly reject as your mate and then co in here trying to claim . I’m not your plaything."
"Oh, but you are," Lucian said with a cold growl, stepping forward once again.
Elian flinched, his mind reeling as he got flashbacks. Lucian might not rember him much, but he had used the sa words to him years ago when they were still pups.
"He’s nothing but a aningless Oga, sister." Lucian had said back then with his tiny voice while Elian was on the floor, receiving so beatings from a maid for being "disobedient".
Lucian’s sister, Princess Aurora, had tried stepping in from a corner to save him from the harsh beating, but the Alpha prince held her back.
"He’s an Oga. He was made to serve. To be a plaything. To grovel. Don’t waste your breath on him..." Lucian’s voice had been cold for a child.
It was ever since that mont that Elian grew to loathe the Alpha prince. He was just like the rest of them, except much worse. He was a royal who could make a difference yet he instead chose to be a cruel jerk.
As Elian rembered all this, his hands balled into fists as he glared at Lucian one last ti.
"This is my room but I’ll leave. And you don’t get to hold back anymore."
Lucian sniggered softly, tilting his head. "Do you get to make decisions for , Oga?"
Despite the Alpha prince’s cold words, there was a flicker of hesitation in his eyes once again, causing Elian to furrow his eyebrows slightly.
[Warning: Conflicting energy detected from Alpha Prince. Is this hostility, foreplay, or emotional constipation? Updating possessiveness ter stats... Stand by.]
Elian rolled his eyes.
He didn’t care enough to know what was going on in Lucian’s head. Not right now.
However, just when he was about to walk away, his eyes landed on the countdown tir projected on the invisible screen interface in front of him.
02.35.56 left to push the possessiveness ter to 20%.
Shit, that’s about two hours and thirty minutes. And last ti the system gave him an update, the ter was only 2%.
[Keep going, feather toes. Just one more small display to get the Alpha prince reeling for more.]
Elian clenched his jaw as Lucian finally spoke again. "Why are you silent now? Cat got your tongue?"
More like a sassy system has his tongue.
[You know what? You could just sit back, relax, and let the poison take effect when the tir runs out. Either option works for .]
Elian ignored the system’s rude sarcasm and made a move, walking past Lucian. But when he was just standing beside him, he paused, glancing at him.
"It’s ironic how the Oga who was ’made to serve’ now has so much attention from the entire empire and you. Don’t you think, mate?"
Lucian’s eyes widened just a bit before dimming into slits as his jaw clenched. A dangerous growl reverberated from his throat, causing Elian to gulp as he took that as his cue to continue walking.
[You just poked a hornet’s nest there, but congrats! The Alpha Prince’s possessiveness shot up to a total of 8% during that entire interaction.]
Elian smirked to himself as he opened the door and walked out. He glanced at the room one last ti, watching as Lucian remained standing there with his back facing him.
"Oh, he must be cursing himself out of his mind." He whispered to himself as he closed the door behind him.
He had the Alpha Prince right where he wanted him.
Or did he?
