Chapter 106 Ethan, Make Love To Me

**Ethan‘s POV

“You need to take it easy, Alpha,” Richard told me as I gazed out at the ocean, looking back at the islan d we were sailing away from.

“I‘m fine,” I grunted at him. The injuries I‘d sustained during the fight with Soren were nothing compared to how I felt on the inside.

That b*stard. He had come up with this plan. He had somehow known what I would do and used it to his advantage. I slowly shook my head, wondering how he got to be so … conniving.

“How are the rest of the operations tonight?” I asked Richard.

“We were able to hack into their communications, which has essentially cut the islands off from the mai nland,” Richard said with a nod of satisfaction.

“That‘s encouraging,” I told him. “Maybe we can use that to our advantage if they transmit any important information?”

“Perhaps, but I believe they may be aware of it,” he said. “We will continue to monitor the situation.”

“And the supplies?” | asked.

He shook his head. “They were moved off from the island before we had a chance to take them, but we were able to observe the supply route and send that information back to the capital.”

I arched an eyebrow. “Talon has gotten the report?”

“Yes. Beta has sent Samual along the transportation route. We‘ve got enough men to organize an amb ush on the supply vessels when they get close to the mainland. That will greatly reduce the supplies th e enemy is able to utilize along the coast.”

The confident smile on Richard‘s face was well earned.

“Good,” was all I could manage to say, but I was pleased with their work.

At least we had managed to accomplish something while we were on the island.

Soren may have lured me in, but at the same time, that gave my men an opportunity to complete their tasks.

“Alpha, you‘ve got wounds in your shoulder and your side. We‘ve bandaged you up, but none of us are doctors. You should rest.”

Richard didn‘t know how to back off. I turned and looked at him, my eyebrows furrowed and my eyes narrowed. He put both hands up, palms out, as if to say he understood.

I nodded, but I didn‘t want to talk about it.

“I‘m fine.” I sighed. It wasn‘t his fault. I‘d gotten only myself to blame.

Soren lured Rosalie out to see us fighting.

It hadn‘t been that difficult for him to convince her that I was the bad guy in all of this, because I wasn t completely

honest with her.

And I knew the reason I was able to get away. That was simply because Soren allowed me to.

It was almost like a game of cat and mouse where the cat enjoyed standing back and watching the mo use run but was content in letting it get away–for now. He wanted to see me live to suffer.

He wanted to see me suffer without Rosalie.

I grimaced. Just thinking of her made my stomach twist into a ball so tight, I thought I might be sick.

“You need to sit down, Alpha,” Richard said, thinking that I was making that face because I was in physi cal pain from my wounds, not because my heart was being wrenched from inside of me.

I‘d never been a dreamer, but in the days I‘d spent leading up to my fight with Soren, I had envisioned a life with Rosalie and our baby.

I had dreamed of a time when the war was over, and the three of us could return to my home. She would be my Luna, and my heir, perhaps a son, would fill our lives with love and light.

We would be happy together.

And I could give Rosalie the life she deserved.

Now, that future had slipped from my grasp– because I didn‘t tell her everything.

But how could I? Rosalie didn‘t need to know all of the details of the war. She certainly didn’t need to know that I was there to assassinate Soren. She would‘ve thought I was there to see her only t o kill him from the very beginning.

“Alpha, shall we plan the next assassination attempt?” another one of the men asked, coming over and leaning against the railing next to Richard.

“No.” My head snapped back to the war effort. I needed to concentrate. “They.. he would have already found out about the tunnels by now.”

. Yes, Soren was not stupid. Right now, all the secret tunnels would no longer be secret.

The warrior immediately was on alert. “Okay, Alpha, then shall I get ready to return to the capital then?”

I thought for a moment and shook my head.

“No, right now, I am the bait. Let‘s play hide and seek with our enemy. Plan to leave in two days.”

“Alpha! You‘re already wounded. It‘s too dangerous for you to show yourself again!” Richard finally got my plan and was concerned.

“Richard, send another message to Talon for reinforcement. Do whatever you need to do so that reinforcements can find us in two days. No more, no less. After that, we‘ll head straight to the co ast‘s frontline.”

I willed my mind to slip back into military mode, but it simply wouldn‘t happen. Not completely. I kept thin king of Rosalie. How could I leave her and my baby behind? I felt that tug in my gut and knew my child wanted me nearby, yet I was floating further away.

“What should we do in the meantime, sir?” Richard asked, jarring me back to the men.

“Continue to be on high alert,” I told them. “We need to keep our eyes open for enemy vessels.”

“Alpha, we also received inquiries from the king…”

“Tell him I am severely wounded and can‘t talk right now.”

Everyone looked at each other, and then said in unison, “Yes, Alpha,” and then went back to their duties.

I returned to staring at the island in the distance, which was so far out of reach. My wounds began to h eal but were still aching

Not as much as my heart was aching, though.

Eventually, I fell into a restless sleep, but my dreams were unpleasant and filled with images of Rosalie.

When I‘d found her again, the nightmares of her falling to her death had stopped. Those few weeks of s leep when I‘d been visiting Rosalie at night had been the best I‘d gotten in years.

Now, images of her dying were replaced with haunting visuals of her face as it had been etched into my mind the night that Soren and I had fought.

I knew it was a dream again as soon as I saw that we were in the forest. “Ethan,” Rosalie said in a hau nting, siren sweet voice. “Make love to me.”

I leaned in and kissed her, tasting strawberries on her warm mouth as I carefully undressed her. Every sensual touch felt real, every moan and passionate sigh that came from her luscious red lips echoed through my ears as if it were really happening This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

But just as I was about to bring her to her peak, Rosalie leaped away from me.

She was dressed in her robe now, her eyes wide, her face streaked with tears. “How could you do this to me, Ethan!” she shrieked. “You a*shole! You liar!”

“No, Rosalie!” I tried to tell her. “Please, let me explain!” But I couldn‘t speak because I suddenly shifted and I was in my wolf form. With human form, but even though I focused with my full concentration, I couldn‘t shift back.

That had never happened before.

In the meantime, Rosalie continued to shout profanities at me, words I‘d never heard come out of her sweet mouth before. “You b*stard! I hate you! I hope you die! You worthless a*shole!”

“No!” I tried to tell her. “You‘ve got it all wrong! I love you!”

She still didn‘t understand, and as she covered her face with both of her hands and broke into sobs that I saw him.

Over her left shoulder, he was there, standing in the background, casually leaning against the trunk of a

Soren, grinning at me like the devil himself.

He had orchestrated all of this, caused all of this pain to come into my life, and now, he was just watching and maniacally laughing as my world fell apart.

Sucking in enough air to fill my lungs, I sat straight up in bed, feeling like I‘d been underwater for so long that I had nearly drowned

I gasped for breath for several seconds and looked around, wiping sweat from my brow as I realized tha

But it made my heart stop thundering against my rib cage.

But that didn‘t mean the nightmare was over.

I swung my legs over the side of the bed, the pain in my side aggravating me slightly from the movemen

Needing some fresh air, I made my way back out to the deck. In the darkness, my men had positioned u

side of the island.

“Where are we?” I asked one of my men at the helm. “What‘s going on?”

“We had to move, Alpha,” he said. “Soren‘s ships spotted us again, so we changed positions and drew t

I nodded. It was exactly what I wanted. The longer I could occupy Soren‘s vessels and keep them busy trying to trap me, the easier it would be for Talon‘s men to sneak in and attack the supply ships.

Soren had to think I was simply reluctant to leave Rosalie and my baby, which was true, but while I was as well use this to my advantage.

“If they find us again, keep moving,” I told him.

“Yes, Alpha,” he said, and I headed over to check on other military information.

My work as Alpha never stopped, no matter how broken my heart was.
