The Alpha’s Temptation - Chapter 230 Biham And Kinshra
Chapter ?230 Biham And Kinshra
Biham was pacing in his room. It was early in the morning and he had sent a message to Kinshra to meet him. He had come the previous day and she hadn’t met him. He was not only growing uneasy, he was anxious. What if she never wanted to see him? What if she wouldn’t even talk to him? There were a thousand scenarios swirling in his mind and none of them were good.
It had been an hour since he had sent the message. It was so early that it was still dark on the outside. Not able to retrain himself anymore, he walked down the corridors and through the main hall till he reached the tower. A guard were standing on the entrance. He was surprised to see Biham out here.
Biham looked up at the tower and saw soft yellow light filtering through a window. He sucked in sharp air and said, “I would like to meet Lady Kinshra.”
The guard bowed to him. “Please wait here. I will send the message.” He hurried up the stairs while Biham waited, confused that his message was still not received by Kinshra. The guard came down soon and said, “Lady Kinshra is waiting for you.”
Biham stopped a shudder that threatened to wreck his body. Meeting Kinshra was like a dream come true. He had waited for this moment for so long that he didn’t want to think about it. Clenching his fists, Biham looked up at the solitary window on the up from where the soft light was filtering. His face flushed with anticipation. He stepped towards the stairs. There were so many questions and apologies that came to his mind and he formed and framed every sentence carefully. He climbed the stairs slowly at first and then took two at a time to reach the top. As soon as he reached, he stopped at the landing, his heart accelerating like a wild horse. He became so nervous that he felt like shifting. He stared for a long time at the closed doors that led to Kinshra’s room.
Biham sent a silent prayer to deities and then covered the last few stairs. He knocked on the door softly. The door opened a little and maid peeked her head outside. As soon as she saw Biham, she bowed to him and held the door ajar. Biham walked in, his heart still racing wildly.
“Please take a seat,” the maid said politely, pointing at the sofas in the room. “Lady Kinshra will be with you shortly.”
p-a-n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、(c)om Biham gave a tight nod to her and walked to the sofa to sit. The maid disappeared inside as Biham watched her going. His gaze kept fixed to the door where maid had gone. Even a small sound would make his heart skip a beat. He wondered how she was looking now. He wanted to ask Tania about her mother, but he didn’t. He didn’t want to ruin his meeting with her. The door opened and Biham jumped up. Kinshra came out and the moment he saw her, he stopped breathing. Kinshra was just as beautiful as she was back then but now even more.
Kinshra froze in her place, her hand still on the knob of the door when she looked at Biham. Their gazes locked and emotions that swirled in their hearts were written all over their faces.
“Kinshra…” Biham let her name out, his voice a mere whisper.
She walked to where he was sitting. Her cheeks had pinkened and her wings were rustling. Her lips parted as she came to stand opposite to him. “Biham…” his name on her lips was like music to his ears. She was wearing a pale blue nightgown. Her wings were tucked behind her. Her golden hair framed her petite face and Biham fell in love with his mate all over again.
Biham wanted to lunge at her, shift in his wolf and take her on a ride on his back just like he did in the old days. His wolf was wagging his tail inside. Biham was surprised that even after rejecting Kinshra, his wolf was so fiercely feeling for her. And suddenly he realized why that was. It was because Kinshra never rejected him back. All she did was that she heard him. The rejection never went through. And that was the time when his knees became wobbly. With shaky legs, he rounded the table in between them to close the gap and came to stand in front of her. His throat bobbed as the back of his eyes burned. He found himself going on his knees as his gaze fixed on her face.
“You never rejected me,” he said in a low voice. His heart pounded so fast that it threatened to leap out of its cage.
Kinshra’s tears rolled out. “No…” she said.
Biham grasped her hand and took it to his lips. He kissed it and pressed it against his cheek. He closed his eyes, reveling in his mate’s scent and the touch that elicited delightful shivers in him. It was so comforting and so fulfilling. If he had to cross Sgi??th Bio a thousand times, he would do it only to be with her.
They stayed like that for a long time when Kinshra leaned over and held his shoulders. “Sit here, Biham,” she said, pointing her chin at the sofa
They sat on the sofa side by side with Biham still holding her hand. He refused to let it go. Her touch was so calming to his nerves that he hadn’t felt this calm in a long time. Ever since she had left him. “How are you?” he asked, but he shouldn’t have asked that stupid question.
Kinshra chuckled but her smile didn’t reach her eyes. “It would be lie if I say that I wasn’t waiting for you.”
Biham saw the light at the end of the dark tunnel. Would she accept him again? “I am sorry…”
Kinshra lowered her head and looked at the crinkles in her nightgown. “There is a lot to be sorry for,” she said in a soft voice. “Everything happened so unexpectedly–” she pursed her lips and shook her head. “Just thinking of all that makes me–”
“Please Kinshra,” Biham stopped her. “Don’t cry. I have waited for this moment for so long. Let me first apologize to you.” He took his hands to cup her face. “I have been such an ass in my life that I don’t deserve a second chance, but if you will allow me a second chance, I promise that I will not let it go to waste. I am going to cherish you, worship you and love you till eternity and then some more.”
Kinshra’s heart squeezed. His touch was like a balm to her. She had waited for so long and yet she hadn’t forgotten what it was like to be with him. She opened her mouth to say something, but he placed his finger on her mouth.
“There are a lot of things that need to be cleared, Kinshra. And the first thing is that I know that you didn’t practice dark magic. So, you have to tell me what really happened. It kills me every day to not know the truth.”
