Chapter 193 A Failed Attempt At Murder

• “Arghh!!” Lucy squirmed in pain as Isaac thrust hard into her, his manhood hitting her cervix.
• The heavy scent of sweat and musk lingered in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of the sandalwood candles that burned low on the dresser. The bed, a massive structure draped in dark linens, was a tangle of twisted sheets and discarded clothing. Isaac lay sprawled across it, his muscular frame barely covered by the crumpled sheets.
• Lucy moved rapidly, her body sore from the relentless onslaught she had endured over the past few days. Each time Isaac had come to her, demanding more, she had met him with feigned enthusiasm, masking her discomfort behind a veil of seduction. But inside, she seethed with anger, each rough touch from Isaac a reminder of the consequences of her ambitions. She had allowed herself to be marked by this young alpha, not out of love or desire, but because she needed his power. But that power came at a cost, one she was forced to pay each time he pulled her into bed.
