The Rogue Prince

Alpha Valdo Dawson's POV

I left my fancy office in one of the tallest buildings in town. I own the whole building. When I got in the elevator, one of my neighbors was already inside. She's a woman in her 40s, but she's really good in bed. She's the only woman I've slept with more than three times.

Her fancy mansion is very close to my castle-like home.

She told me she has a husband, and she asked me to keep our secret affair quiet, which was fine by me. I didn't want any commitments and wasn't interested in chasing women. She knew that if she caused trouble, I would tell her husband everything. Especially that I discovered her husband is my beta.

She started getting a bit clingy though. She kept showing up everywhere I went and calling/texting me all the time. This was starting to mess up our sexual relationship. So I had decided to end things with her by the weekend.

But here she was, standing in front of me in the elevator. I felt she deserved what was coming, but part of me wondered if I should give her one last round of sex for old time's sake.

Honestly, I'm only in my early 30s, but I look very manly next to any woman, even a 40-year-old like her. I didn't get bored of her body, but I worried she might cause a scandal. She was always asking for more.

The elevator doors closed and she wrapped her arms around my neck, licking her lips. I frowned and pushed her hands off me. "What now? I told you not to come here!" I said sternly.

She pushed her hands inside my shirt and said in a sexy voice, "but I've missed you. I want you to have sex with me, right here."

I raised my eyebrows and rolled my eyes. "What? Here? Now? This is an elevator!"

She shrugged and stood on her tiptoes, licking the corner of my mouth slowly. With a loud moan, she said, "You taste good, daddy. I want more." She then pulled my hand between her legs, showing me she wasn't wearing any underwear.

I slapped her private area gently. "You're a bad woman. You need punishment," I said, before leaning down and biting her lips roughly. I flipped her around and pushed her against the wall, pulling up her dress and spreading her butt cheeks wide. "Daddy will punish you now, you bad girl," I whispered in her ear.

She seemed to enjoy my touch, and I could feel how wet she was, craving my penis. I couldn't blame her husband for not satisfying her - even if he had sex with her daily, it would never be enough. She needed a big penis like mine.

I continued touching and grabbing her roughly, until I noticed she hadn't pushed the emergency stop button. I did it myself so no one else would use this elevator. I ripped her dress and squeezed her breasts aggressively. "Girl, I'll have sex with you until your private area bleeds. Or should I do your butt first?" I growled, licking her neck.

She moaned excitedly and begged me to just have sex with her however I wanted. I pushed three fingers into her private area, moving them in and out roughly. Even though I was tired, I couldn't resist this woman.

I pulled my fingers out and pushed my penis into her butt instead.

She winced in pain, but I ignored her pleas to go slower. I was too busy trying to forget about my love interest by taking out my frustrations on her. I had sex with her hard, pulling her hair and cursing at her.

Eventually, I turned her around and entered her private area. She moaned in pleasure. I leaned down and bit her nipples as I pounded her. Her screams filled the elevator.

But when I was close to climaxing, I couldn't do it. All I could think about was my love. I couldn't bring myself to finish inside her. I just pushed her away.

She tried to get me to let her give me oral sex, but I had no interest. I just pushed the button for the parking lot and stormed out, telling her I never wanted to see her face again. "If you dare show up in front of me again, I'll tell your husband."

I warned her and I left, intending to go take her virginity that night.

I was completely shocked when I found out I was six weeks pregnant. I couldn't believe it! How did this happen? Now I don't know what to do.

Should I tell Alpha Valdo about this? Will he refuse to divorce me because of the baby? I don't think so. He'll probably think I'm using the child to manipulate him.

Feeling frustrated, I quickly put the ultrasound report in my bag and left the hospital. Outside, I saw a fancy car called a Maybach with one window slightly open. I could vaguely see an attractive man sitting in the driver's seat with a cold expression.

A handsome man in a luxury car would definitely get a lot of attention from people passing by. Alpha Valdo Dawson was rich and good-looking. After many years, I had gotten used to people staring at us. Ignoring them, I got into the car's front seat.

When the man, who had his eyes closed, felt me getting in, he furrowed his brow. Without opening his eyes, he asked in a deep voice, "Is everything taken care of?"

"Yes!" I nodded and handed him the contract I had signed with the hospital. I said, "Dr. Thomson sends his greetings to you." I had planned to sign the contract on my own at the hospital today, but I ran into Alpha Valdo on the way. I don't know why, but he offered to drive me, saying it was on his way.

"You'll be in charge of the case," Alpha Valdo said in a brief manner. He was always a man of few words. Instead of taking the contract, he gave me those instructions before starting the car.

I nodded and stayed silent. It seemed like obeying him and following his orders were the only things I knew how to do.

The car drove towards the pack center. It was already evening, and I was confused about where he was going, if not back to the Castle. Even though I was puzzled, I didn't ask him anything. I just remained quiet.

The ultrasound report was on my mind, but I didn't know how to bring it up. I was torn about what to do, so I glanced at Alpha Valdo from the corner of my eye. As usual, he had a cold and distant aura, with his sharp and ruthless gaze focused straight ahead.

"Alpha Valdo!" I blurted out. My palms started to sweat a little, probably because I was nervous.

"Speak," he said without showing any emotion.

He always treated me like this. After a few seconds, I relaxed a bit and took a deep breath. "I'm..." pregnant.

I wanted to say the second word, but his phone suddenly rang, cutting me off.

"Camilla, what's wrong?" Some people only show their gentle and loving side to one person.

Alpha Valdo's gentle side was only for Camilla Robert. It was clear from the way he talked to her over the phone.

Camilla's words made Alpha Valdo suddenly hit the brakes, and he spoke to her in a soothing tone, "Alright. I'll be there soon. Don't go anywhere, okay?"

When the call ended, his icy expression returned. He looked at me and ordered sharply, "Get out."

There was no room for discussion in his order.

This wasn't the first time he had kicked me out of the car. So, I nodded and kept the words I wanted to say to myself. I opened the car door and got out.

My marriage with Alpha Valdo was a result of a twist of fate, but there was never any love involved. Alpha Valdo already had Camilla in his heart, so my existence was unnecessary. Maybe even an obstacle.

Two years ago, Alpha Valdo's grandfather, Hamilton Dawson, had a heart attack. While he was in the hospital, he forced Alpha Valdo to marry me. Alpha Valdo reluctantly agreed for his grandfather's sake. During those two years, Alpha Valdo ignored me except for that. Now that his grandfather had passed away, he couldn't wait to get a lawyer to draw up divorce papers for me to sign.

It was already dark when I returned to the Castle. The huge house felt empty, like a haunted house. Maybe because of my pregnancy, I didn't feel like eating. So, I went straight to my bedroom to wash up and go to sleep.

In my sleepy state, I heard a faint sound of a car engine turning off in the courtyard. Is Alpha Valdo back? Shouldn't he be with Camilla?

The bedroom door suddenly swung open, and Alpha Valdo walked in, a bit wet from the rain. He didn't pay any attention to me and went straight to the bathroom. I decided to get up and put on some clothes. I took out a pair of his pajamas and left it by the bathroom door. Then, I went to the balcony.

It was the rainy season, and the drizzle outside made everything seem calm. I could hear the raindrops hitting the ground softly. I turned around and saw Alpha Valdo coming out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. His wet hair and muscular body made him look attractive.

He noticed me looking at him and gave me a slight frown. "Come here," he said, without any emotion in his voice.

I walked over and caught the towel he threw at me. He wanted me to dry his hair. I was used to his demanding ways, so I sat on the edge of the bed and kneeled behind him to dry his hair.

"Grandpa's funeral is tomorrow. We should go to the family home early," I reminded him. I wasn't trying to start a conversation, just making sure he remembered. His mind was often preoccupied with thoughts of Camilla.

"Okay," he grunted, not saying much else.

Knowing that he didn't want to talk, I stayed quiet and focused on drying his hair. After that, I went back to bed, ready to sleep.

Lately, I had been feeling tired all the time, probably because of my pregnancy. Usually, Alpha Valdo would go to his study after showering and stay there until midnight. So I was surprised when he got into bed after changing into his pajamas.

Suppressing my confusion, I didn't ask any questions. Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, giving me a gentle kiss.

I looked at him, puzzled. "Alpha Valdo, I'm..."

"Reluctant?" he interrupted, his eyes showing a hint of desire.

I lowered my gaze. Yes, I was reluctant, but it wasn't up to me.

"Can you be more gentle?" I asked. The baby was only six weeks old, and there was a risk of miscarriage.

He frowned, but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned me over and began to be rough. I curled up in pain, trying to protect the baby as best as I could.

The rain outside started pouring heavily, matching his forceful movements. Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the room with each thunderous boom. After a while, he got up and went back to the bathroom.

Feeling sweaty and in pain, I thought about getting up to take some painkillers. But I decided against it, thinking of the baby.

Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang. It was Alpha Valdo's phone. I looked at the clock and saw that it was already eleven o'clock.

It must be Camilla calling. She was the only one who would call him at this hour.

As Alpha Valdo came out the shower with a towel around him, he noticed that I was still naked in his bed. He asked me; "Why are you still here in my bed?!"

I appeared confused and said, "We're married, and I just gave myself to you!"

He scoffed and responded coldly, "It was a mistake. I slept with you because I was feeling aroused, nothing more. Now, please leave and go to your room."

He callously broke my heart without showing any remorse, treating me as if I were a cheap whore instead of his cherished partner, his luna.

I knew it was impossible to convince him to stay, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. I looked him in the eye and said, "I agree to a divorce, but I have a condition. Stay with me tonight and come with me to Grandpa's funeral. I'll sign the divorce papers right after."

He narrowed his eyes, filled with amusement, and his mouth twitched a bit. "You're trying to please me," he said, pulling away and leaning close to whisper in my ear. "But just talking won't get you anywhere, Selena."

His voice was cold and challenging. I understood what he meant, so I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned in closer. It must have looked funny since he was much taller than me.

I didn't know how I felt about resorting to such a desperate tactic to keep someone I loved with me. It felt pathetic, to be honest.

Before I could make a move, he grabbed my hand and stopped me. He looked at me with stern eyes and said, "That's enough."

His flat tone surprised me, and I struggled to understand his words. He grabbed his pajamas from the bed and quickly put them on.

I was bewildered for a moment, trying to process what was happening. Was he actually going to stay?

Unfortunately, before I could even feel relief or happiness, a woman's voice echoed outside the window amidst the rain. "Alpha Valdo..."

He reacted quickly, striding towards the balcony to look outside. With a somber expression, he grabbed his coat and left the room.

Camilla was standing in the rain beneath the balcony. The cold drops had soaked her thin dress completely. She was already fragile, and she looked even more pitiful as she braved the rain.

Alpha Valdo draped his coat over her shoulders and seemed about to scold her. But she clung to him tightly and sobbed in his arms.

As I watched the scene unfold, it finally dawned on me. I understood why my two-year marriage with Alpha Valdo couldn't compare to a single phone call from Camilla.

Alpha Valdo led Camilla inside the Castle with his arm around her. I stood at the top of the stairs as they approached, noticing their soaked clothes.

"Move out of the way!" Alpha Valdo snapped, disgusted.

Was I sad?

I couldn't tell, but my eyes hurt more than my heart as I witnessed the person I loved treating another woman like a precious gem while trampling all over me.

"Alpha Valdo, you promised Grandpa that you wouldn't let her set foot in this house as long as I'm here." This was our home, where Alpha Valdo and I lived together. But many nights, I had let Camilla have him. And now, he was letting her taint the only place that belonged to me.

"Hah!" Alpha Valdo sneered, shoving me aside. He said coldly, "You think too highly of yourself, Selena."

He mocked me without mercy. I could only watch as he took Camilla to the guest room, feeling like a helpless bystander.

Tonight was going to be a restless night.

Camilla had gotten drenched in the heavy rain. She was already weak, and now she had a high fever. Alpha Valdo cared for her gently, helping her change into dry clothes and using a towel to bring down her temperature.

Maybe my presence was bothering him, because he turned his cold gaze towards me and ordered, "Go back to the Fullers' family home now! Camilla can't go anywhere in her condition."

He wanted me to leave at this late hour? Haha...

I guess I really am a bother.

After staring at Alpha Valdo for a while, I couldn't find the words to remind him that the family home was far away and it wouldn't be safe for a woman to go alone at this hour.

But he didn't care about that. He only cared about making sure Camilla could rest without me around.

I forced myself to breathe through the pain in my chest and calmly said, "I'll go back to the bedroom. It's not... appropriate to go to the family home now!"

I wouldn't let him walk all over me, even though I knew he didn't value me at all.

As I left the guest room, I bumped into Kane Jeffery in the hallway. He was still wearing his black pajamas, and I guessed he had rushed over to the Castle. His clothes were almost completely soaked.

The hallway was quite narrow, so we ended up facing each other. We were both surprised for a moment, but then he fixed his clothes and said, "Ms. Reece, I'm here to help Camilla."

Kane was Alpha Valdo's best friend. They say a person's best friend can show you how much they care about you.

But the way he addressed me made it clear that he saw me only as Ms. Reece.

It was a polite but distant way of speaking.

I didn't dwell on it too much because it would only make me sad. I forced a smile and let him go ahead, saying, "Sure, go ahead!"

Sometimes I really admired Camilla. She only had to shed a few tears to receive the warmth that I had worked hard for my whole life but never received.

In the bedroom, I found a suit that Alpha Valdo had never worn. I decided to bring it with me as I walked to the living room.

Kane quickly took care of Camilla. He checked her temperature and gave her medicine before getting ready to leave.

When he came downstairs and saw me in the living room, he smiled politely and said, "It's getting late. Aren't you going to sleep, Ms. Reece?"

"Mm, I'll sleep soon." I handed him the clothes and said, "Your clothes are wet, and it's still raining outside. You should change into these before you leave, or you might catch a cold."

He seemed surprised by my gesture and blinked at me for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm strong as a bull, so I'll be fine!"

I handed him the clothes and insisted, "Alpha Valdo has never worn these before. The tags are still on them. You two are almost the same size, so please take them."

After that, I went upstairs and returned to the bedroom.

My actions weren't just out of kindness. When my grandmother was in the hospital, Kane was her surgeon. He was a famous doctor. If it weren't for the Fullers, he wouldn't have agreed to operate on my grandmother. Those clothes were my way of repaying him.

The next day arrived.

After a night of heavy rain, the morning air smelled fresh and earthy. I was used to waking up early. After washing up, I went downstairs and saw Alpha Valdo and Camilla in the kitchen.

Alpha Valdo was wearing a black apron and frying eggs on the stove. He no longer seemed harsh and distant. Instead, he looked happy and full of joy.

Camilla's bright eyes followed his every move. Her face was a little flushed, probably because her fever had just gone down. She looked cute and charming.

"Alpha Valdo, I want my fried eggs slightly burnt," she said, feeding him a strawberry. "But not too burnt, or they'll taste bitter."

Alpha Valdo ate the strawberry and looked at her lovingly. He didn't say anything, but his eyes showed how much he adored her.

They both had beautiful features and made a lovely couple.

Suddenly, a voice from behind startled me. I turned around and saw Kane standing there. I had forgotten that it rained heavily last night, and since Camilla was sick, Alpha Valdo didn't let Kane leave.

"Good morning!" I smiled when I noticed that Kane was wearing the clothes I gave him the night before.

Seeing my gaze, Kane raised his eyebrows and smiled. "These clothes fit me well. Thank you."

I shook my head. "No need to mention it!" I had bought those clothes for Alpha Valdo, but he never bothered to try them on.

Hearing us talking, Camilla turned to us and said, "Selena, Kane, you're both awake. Alpha Valdo made some fried eggs for breakfast. Come and eat with us!"

She spoke as if she were the lady of the house.

I gave her a fake smile and quickly declined, "It's fine. I bought some bread and milk yesterday. The milk is still in the fridge. You've just recovered, so you should drink more." I had been living here for two years, and the house deed had both my and Alpha Valdo's names on it.

I usually went along with things, but I couldn't bear to see someone else act like they owned the place.

Camilla's stunned expression slowly transformed into a darkened gaze as she tugged on Alpha Valdo's sleeve. She spoke softly, apologizing for her behavior the previous night and requesting that I join them for breakfast as an apology. Alpha Valdo initially paid me no attention, but upon Camilla's insistence, he glanced at me and coldly commanded, "Let's eat together."

I mustered a smile and nodded in response, thanking him. Refusing Alpha Valdo was something I couldn't bring myself to do, as I had fallen in love with him at first sight, making it incredibly difficult to move on.

It seemed like my lucky day as I got to taste Alpha Valdo's cooking for the first time. While fried eggs and bacon were nothing extraordinary, they left a deep impression on me. I had always believed that someone like Alpha Valdo Dawson was above such mundane tasks as cooking.

Camilla urged me to try the fried eggs, emphasizing how excellent they were and reminiscing about how Alpha Valdo used to make them for her. She then turned to Alpha Valdo with a saccharine smile, reminding him of their plans to see the flowers and making sure he wouldn't break his promise.

Alpha Valdo responded with a simple "Mm!" as he continued eating, his movements refined and princely. He seldom spoke unnecessarily, but when it came to Camilla, he made sure to respond to all her questions and requests.

Kane, appearing accustomed to this dynamic, observed our interactions silently, almost as if he were an outsider.

As I furrowed my brows and lowered my gaze, a frown formed on my face. Today was my grandfather's funeral, and if Alpha Valdo left with Camilla, what would happen to our plan of going to the Fullers' family home?

The breakfast table was filled with an air of unease. Alpha Valdo, after having a few bites, excused himself to change his clothes and headed upstairs. I set my cutlery down and followed him.

Inside the bedroom, Alpha Valdo was aware of my presence and asked indifferently, "Do you need something?" He casually began removing his clothes, revealing his sturdy figure. I instinctively turned away, facing my back toward him, and said, "It's my grandfather's funeral today."

I heard some shuffling noises and the sound of his zipper being zipped. His monotone voice followed, "You can go by yourself."

My frown deepened. "He is your grandfather, Alpha Valdo." He was the eldest grandson of the Dawsons, and his absence at the funeral would surely raise questions among his family.

"I've already asked Joseph Campbell to handle the funeral. You can communicate with him regarding the details." His words lacked emotion, as if the matter held no significance to him.

As he walked toward his study, a wave of sadness washed over me. I raised my voice, desperation evident, "Alpha Valdo, are your family and everyone else besides Camilla disposable to you? Do they mean nothing to you?"

He paused and turned to me with narrowed eyes, exuding a chilling aura. With disdain in his voice, he replied, "You're not in a position to lecture me about my family matters."

After a brief pause, he curled his lips and spat out, "You're not worthy!"

His words hit me like a bucket of cold water, sending a shiver down my spine.

As I listened to his retreating footsteps, a bitter chuckle escaped my lips.

Indeed, I am unworthy.

Two long years had passed, yet my efforts to earn his affection had been in vain.

"I thought you had thick skin, but I never expected you to meddle in other people's affairs as well," a mocking voice reached my ears.

I turned to see Camilla leaning against the door frame, her arms crossed and a frosty expression replacing her cute and innocent facade.
