Crossing the Border (Rania) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140

“You are hurt again,” Maximus said, his voice had a sharp edge on it, he pressed his forehead against her. “Do you want his head? Or do you want me to skin him alive?”

Rania opened her eyes in shocked, she shook her head vigorously. She wanted none of it. More so, the alpha who had harmed her had been killed.

Lifting her head to meet the king’s eyes, Rania saw the determination behind his electric blue eyes. His madness returned. This was not only his way to avenge the insult on her, but Maximus actually enjoyed it.

He found satisfaction in hurting those people, and Rania couldn’t allow that to happen, especially when he did it for her. She didn’t want someone’s blood on her hands.

Shaking her head, Rania tightened her grip on Maximus’s hand. She didn’t let him go, afraid if she loosened up, the king would rush back to the dining hall and finish what he had started.

‘Please.’

Rania mouthed.

‘Don’t kill anyone.‘

Maximus could read what she was saying, but he wanted to hear her voice. She knew that her tongue had healed now. She could speak, but she didn’t want to.

‘Please, don’t kill anymore.

“I will not, but I want to hear your voice.” This was not an unreasonable request. It had been so long and he missed the sound of her voice. “Talk to me, Rania. Call my name.”

This time, it was Rania, who furrowed her brows. She wouldn’t say that she forgot how to speak, but because she had not used it for long, she became more comfortable to stay quiet like this.

“I am going to kill him if you don’t speak,” Maximus said casually. It didn’t sound like a threat, but Rania knew he would do it.

After all, killing those people gave him a satisfaction, which Rania couldn’t understand.

However, one thing that Rania noticed; Maximus had changed. He was not as calm as this before. In the past, he would force himself to get what he wanted, he wouldn’t compromise.

It was a year ago. There were a lot of things that happened, they were broken, and then healed, and then went through agony and many more.

Here they were now.

If it were in the past, Maximus wouldn’t have negotiated with Rania, he would have killed the last alpha without thinking twice. They wouldn’t have this conversation.

But, Maximus had grown very patient with her, though it didn’t erase the madness side of him. He was still the bloodlust king.

“Get some rest, Rania.” Maximus caressed her cheek before he stood up, he had waited for her to speak, but he couldn’t force her more than this.

He had learned his lesson. He had made a progress with her and he didn’t want to make his mate scared of him again.

Maximus did it very gently, and gingerly, because he didn’t want to hurt her. And when he sucked on her tongue, he could sense the roughness of her wound. The wound had healed, but it left some kind of scar there.

“I promise,” Maximus said with earnest. He caressed her cheek. “If you don’t let me go, then I will assume you want to continue the kiss.”

“You are so adorable.” Maximus caressed her head. “Get some rest. I didn’t have any intention to ruin our lunch, but those imbeciles simply couldn’t give me a break.”

And after that, he left the room, while Rania was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, while thinking what she should do now…

Should she still hold a grudge against him? But, at this point, she didn’t know what grudge that she still had for him.

Her anger had vanished. Still, it couldn’t fill the void in her heart. She touched her flat belly again.

Why would be very sad and regretful whenever she was thinking of the baby that she didn’t even know she had.

She shouldn’t be this sad and depressed whenever she thought about it.

But actually, Rania knew the answer. She wanted someone that belong to her, someone that would love her unconditionally, someone that she would love back.

The opportunity to have it slipped through her fingers, that was what she was grieving for.
