Family's Spoiling Kills: Reborn, I Seek Wild Revenge novel Chapter 93

Amanda's POV

A hard gulp passed down my throat as his intense gaze on me made my skin prickle. I hated how just his gaze made me act this way. His smirk widened.

"What do you say?" he asked while I furrowed my brow, confused. "Do you want the better and bigger bear?" he teased.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "Fuck you," I grunted and walked away, and thankfully he didn' t stop or come after me.

Back in my room, I rested on the door and breathed deeply. "Get a grip on yourself, Amanda," I murmured to myself. "You can't let him know he's having such an effect on you," I grumbled and left the door.

Trying to focus on work was impossible, so I decided to get some fresh air in the garden. Leaving my room, I made my way there, but my eyes spotted the swimming pool, and I walked over to it. It had been so long since I'd had a good swim, so I decided to dive in and calm my nerves. After removing my clothes, I slipped into the water and sighed in relief as the cold water enveloped me.

"Perfect," I sighed and began swimming, enjoying the comfort the cold water provided. Hearing footsteps, I turned around to see Alpha Edward, and a big, disapproving frown appeared on my face. It seemed this man had been following me around.

"Enjoying the water?" he asked.

"You're supposed to be an alpha. Don't you have duties to attend to?" I spat, but he only chuckled and began unbuttoning his shirt, making me furrow my brow. "Excuse me? What are you doing?" I asked with disapproval.

"As you can see, I'm trying to take off my clothes, so I can join you. Or can't I?"

"No, you can't!" I snapped, but he ignored me and took off his jeans, leaving him in just his underwear. My eyes fell on his bulge, and I swallowed nervously, looking away. Turning my back to him, I began swimming to the other side of the pool to get far from him.

I noticed him jumping into the water, the splash making me frown, but I decided to ignore him. The pool was big enough to swim without crossing each other's paths.

As I continued swimming in one lane of the pool, Alpha Edward swam in the other. Our eyes would meet, and he would smirk, which I responded to with a frown. Suddenly, I noticed he was no longer swimming. In fact, he seemed to have left the pool, which was strange because I didn' t see him leaving.

Suddenly, Alpha Edward emerged from under the water right before me, making my heart hitch with fear.

"Holy shit!" I blurted out, and he began chuckling loudly, his green eyes sparkling with excitement. "Fuck you!" I grunted and tried to move away, but he trapped me by placing his hands on either side of me.

"What is the meaning of this?" I grunted and glared at him, but he didn't seem bothered. Instead, he just kept staring at me, which was awkward.

"You are beautiful," he murmured, and I hated how those words made my body tingle. "You have the most alluring and fascinating eyes I have ever seen on anyone," he whispered while I swallowed hard. "A beautiful, pointed nose..." he paused, and then his hand went to my lips as he trailed a finger on them, causing my heart to pound in my chest. "Sexy and soft lips..." his voice was now husky and low. Our eyes locked, and everything in my head was screaming for me to move away, but I couldn't. Instead, I remained mesmerized by his gaze, feeling his hand caressing my thighs under the water, making me gasp and swallow hard.

With our eyes still interlocked, I felt his hand making its way to my panties. Everything was urging me to pull away, but I remained numb. With hitching breath, I felt his fingers shift my panties aside and brush my pussy with a finger. I bit my lips, hating how I couldn't resist his touch. Perhaps it was the mate bond pull.

I scoffed. "Is this some sort of joke?" I asked, but he smiled and shook his head.

"No, Amanda, this isn't. I'm sorry for what happened in the past between us. I hope you can look past it and forgive me," he said, sounding sincere and genuine.

I scoffed in disbelief and looked at him, wondering what was happening. Was he acting this way

because he now knew my real identity? That could be the only explanation.

"Please," he urged.

I took a deep breath, still skeptical but sensing his sincerity. "Alright," I said reluctantly.

He smiled before walking away, leaving me confused about his attitude.

"Miss, Alpha Edwards calls for you, and it's really urgent." The tense look on the guard's face indicated something was wrong.
