Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas

Seo-Jun looked at me for a while with a somewhat surprised expression on his face and then chuckled once more.

What was so funny?

"Jo-Pil, did you think of this?" He asked, interlocking his fingers. "You said not to read your diary without your permission so of course, we'd follow your words," he shrugged.

"Yes, that's my diary but this is..." I paused and looked at the book in front of me. Ah, why didn't I realize this?

"You see? If I had picked up that book and read it, it would've seemed like I tried to read your diary and then discovered it was the novel you were writing for me." He explained. "Since they have the same back cover."

In other words, he didn't even know I was writing his book, and these days, I've been writing in my diary, so there was no way he'd suddenly guess that the book in front of me was his own.

I almost messed up there.

"I would've definitely been the criminal, don't you think?"

"Ah, sorry." I quickly apologized. "But I'm glad you didn't take it even if you knew it was your book." I said as I got up from the chair.

He looked at me, wondering what I was on about.

I picked up the book and then approached him.

I don't know why he was sitting by my balcony window and having such an aesthetic appeal, looking like a gentleman he most certainly wasn't, but he did put his jacket over me so I wouldn't get close and he respected my privacy, let me sleep as long as I could and didn't try to do anything funny.

These were enough to tell me he was serious about getting my attention and affection. And because of this, my heart felt light.

I bit my bottom lip as I stood in front of him and stretched the book towards him.

I don't expect any grand reaction of praise for finishing the book since it was our deal to begin with, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't appreciate it.

"I've finished the book." I said, "It's the end, and they lived happily ever after, so... I'm sure you'll be glad." I smiled.

Seo-Jun stared at my face instead of the book. The smile on my lips caught him by surprise and took his breath away.

I did say that the only reason I'd ever smile at him was because of a book, and it wouldn't be my will, but this time, I was smiling because I had a reason to smile.

He... Made me smile.

Seo-Jun reached for the book but instead of taking it, he grabbed my hand and then pulled me towards his body.

I lost my balance but was able to drop my knee on his thigh.

I don't know why he did that, but it looked like he wanted me to get closer and then hold my waist.

I flinched.

What was he doing all of a sudden?

"You know something, Jo-Pil?" He called, his lips drawing closer to my ear. "You have no idea how damn sexy you are but when you smile, you seem like an angel."

What?

"And I want to corrupt you." His breath was deep and his words sounded like a groan of suppressed desire.

I gulped.

I didn't expect this reaction at all. I thought he'd get excited and immediately read the book, but he somehow prioritized my smile over the ending of the book he had been anticipating for so long.

I don't know what to say about this but... My heart wouldn't stop thumping.

If this were the past, I'd get scared of what he was going to do next and struggle out of his hold but right now... I'm completely enamored.

I met his eyes. The deep desire swirling inside those reptile red eyes was drawing me in and once again, I gulped.

"Do I scare you?" He asked, his voice deep and this reminded me of a scene in the novel.

Right now... Was he replaying the scene or did he really mean it?

"No," I answered, gripping his shoulder tightly. "But... Do you wish for me to be scared?"

"No," he answered, holding me tight and then he dropped the hand he was holding on his shoulder.

The book fell from my hand but he didn't care.

He just wanted to balance me well and hold my waist with both of his hands.

"That's why I've been trying so hard. I don't want you to run from me even though you know my nature. You... You definitely know the kind of things I'm into." He said with a knowing smile and I pursed my lips.

How did he know I knew?

I never said anything about it.

"It didn't make sense that you were so scared about me at the start, even though I did give off 'that' vibe, but no matter what, I couldn't find any connection that could cause you to fear me. We've never met before and word about the kind of things I'm into doesn't go around much."

Yeah, no kidding. You'd wonder why word about him being a huge Casanova and a sadist wasn't spreading, but the people who know these things know better not to leak rumors for their own necks' sake.

"So, I got confused and I hated it. I only got to know that you were away that I was a sadist when I read your diary and saw the part I played. It fit my character very well as if you know the exact thing I'm into."

Ah, so he found out through the diary. But Im not sure I wrote about his sadistic tendecy. Gosh, he's so perspective.

"Anyway, I hated the way you treated me but what I hated more was that I couldn't tame you." He confessed, and though it wasn't shocking that this was the kind of thought he had all along, I was surprised that he was confessing in such detail. "And that was one of the reasons why I was so bitter towards you."

"You were taking it out on me cause I didn't want to be tamed?" I asked and he nodded, looking ashamed. "And another reason?"

He raised his head, met my eyes, and said,

"I was jealous." His words took me by surprise.

Jealous? Of what?

"I was jealous that you were so biased towards me. Sure, we hadn't met before but the way you started out and the way you acted as if I was a pandemic you couldn't afford to get close to... It caused a stir in my head and heart and I felt so discontented. I... Just wanted to get your attention."
