The alpha king stared at me as if he no longer knew what to do with me anymore. He continued nailed to where he was standing. His mouth was pressed in a grime line while his forehead creased into a fine line. Maxxwell was not happy about what was happening, and I liked what he was feeling right now.
"Whatever you are planning, you have to stop that. As I said, everything you are doing right now is because you are under the influence of your heat cycle."
I gave out a throaty laugh.
Heat cycle?
Probably. Probably not. Some part of me also wanted this to happen.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but stopping is difficult to do right now." My finger traveled to my arms, exposing my legs in the process. "I wanted to do this before, Your Majesty," I started, trying to make my voice as sexy as possible to his ears. Did I succeed? Based on how the alpha king gulped, perhaps I did.
"Do what?" he asked calmly.
"I wanted to lie beside you. Then put some strands of your hair to the side." I closed my eyes as images of our past when we shared a room resurfaced. "Remember back then? While you were sleeping, call me creepy, but I loved looking at you." I put my hands on both sides of the bed. "But now. I could no longer do it. It made me ask myself whether I was the most sinful woman or not for thinking these thoughts." I shrugged my shoulders. "I mean, we are mates. I also have the right to you. But why did it feel like this was not right?"
"It is not. I have the queen beside me," he answered. Ouch. "Stay in bed while I sleep on the floor. We do not want to add more problems."
My mouth gaped, and I sat upright. "Floor? Are you freaking kidding me? Not once did you offer me the bed while you sleep on the floor, Your Majesty. Am I that repulsive now that you don't even want to get near me? You are hurting my ego, Maxxwell."
He threw me an irritated look. "I am protecting you from myself, River. Now, return the favor by behaving. You don't know how much it pained me to stop myself from kissing you and taking you here in my
bed."
I was stunned at his answer and smiled. Grabbing the blanket, I raised my fingers and motioned for him to crawl into the bed and beside me.
"Nothing will happen, Your Majesty. I won't touch you if that's what you are afraid of."
He stared at me for a couple of minutes.
He did not believe me.
Understandable. I was a great liar, to begin with.
I patted the bed next to me. "Unless you will be touching me first." I waved my hand. "Which will never happen. I assume."
"Nothing will happen between us. I assure you of that," he stated with enough confidence.
Raising my eyebrows, I asked, "Maybe you are afraid the queen might see us?"
"That's my concern. Not yours."
It is mine.
"Oh, come on, Your Majesty. We haven't had sex nor completed our mating. Why would she be furious? I am only asking you to be right next to me. Come on, Your Majesty. The bed is still big for me. The night is getting older, and the next thing you know, it's already morning. I will be gone before you open your eyes, I promise. I won't touch you."
The alpha king sighed.
"You are putting me in a terrible situation. If Zenith will barge in-" he said, trailing off his words.
Hell will break loose.
"It's your fault for having two mates. You cannot choose which one you will have."
"I did not ask for this."
"The Moon Goddess seemed to be thinking of an evil plan pairing me with you and Zenith." Talk about sibling rivalry.
The alpha king yawned. "It's getting late. Let's continue this tomorrow."
I pouted my lips. "Why? Do I bore you now? Ah. Not something to be surprised about. You hate how I would ask many questions, Your Majesty."
I stared at the ceiling, no longer caring if he would lie down beside me or not.
Now that I was bathing in the alpha king's scent, the pain slowly subsided but was still present. Like a bitch.
"When is the Proclamation Ceremony again, Your Majesty?"
"Two days from now. And speaking of which, your clothes are still not ready. That bastard didn't see me when the queen threatened him and his family."
That's Zenith for you. I was always afraid that I might tell the alpha king about her plan.
The days kept on progressing, but I still did not know how I could tell the alpha king about it.
"That's okay. Still have no plans whether I will be there or not."
"Be there," he ordered and put his hands in his pockets. "It won't be the same if you are not there."
This man was confusing me-a lot.
"I don't know how I fell for someone who doesn't have any balls."
"What did you say?"
Grinning, I said, "Nothing. I am only talking to myself, Your Majesty. Why are you so sensitive now?"
"Sleep," he ordered as if I was a child.
"I don't want to. Make me, Your Majesty," I teased.
The alpha king inhaled deeply, a vein popping out of his neck. "Why are you being difficult right now?"
I shrugged. "I don't know, Your Majesty."
Sensing he did not want to lie beside me, I rolled on my side and closed my eyes. "You're boring me, Maxxwell. I just wanted to play with you."
"I don't have any plans to play with your games. Sleep, and the next thing you know, everything is already morning."
The sweet smell under my nose awakened me. Sandalwood. My favorite scent the moment I came here to the palace. I snuggled closer to that lovely scent. That person groaned and instantly wrapped his arms around my waist as if she did not want me to go.
Dawn could be sometimes sweet.
Dawn?
Wait. Wait.
Dawn did not usually wrap her arms around my waist. Plus, her scent is not sandalwood.
Verifying if it was indeed Dawn, I opened my eyes, and they widened when I saw it was not my roommate but the alpha king himself. He was asleep soundly, giving soft snores.
"What. The. Fuck," I mumbled to myself, paling.
How did I come here? How?
Is that the right time to ask? one part of my mind said.
'What happened, Sun?' I asked, calling my wolf's attention.
"The two of you just had sex, River.'
My eyes weni bulging. 'I don't believe it.'
Why can't I remember anything?
Sunflower rolled her eyes at me. 'It's because you got drunk, silly. You know what? Of all the she-wolves in heat, you're the only one who forgot what had happened.'
I shook my head, still in disbelief.
"I do not believe you."
Slowly, I got up, careful not to awaken him.
I held my breath when the alpha king stirred in his sleep, dragging the blanket lower, and exposing his bare chest. Indeed. There were bite marks and claw marks on his chest and red marks. I squinted my eyes.
What are those?
My knees nearly gave up as I realized what Sunflower said may be true. What the...
'See? I told you, River. What happened was fantastic. The mating ceremony is complete. And now, you can seize the queen position from your sister. The Council and Elders will allow it if you show them the mark
and proof that you have already consummated. You will be Queen River Williams or Queen River Dove, of the kingdom of Vernice. How is that, huh? Magnificent right? Like you can hear a wedding bell.'
Oh, Moon Goddess.
I was starting to get sick.
How could I do this against my sister? They were mates, and I was the one who gave the alpha king reason to cheat on his mate.
My body went cold. 'I have sinned, Sun.'
'We all are River. We all sinned. But if it's against the queen, I don't care at all. That's what she gets for hurting the alpha king.'
The alpha king stared at me as if he no longer knew what to do with me anymore. He continued nailed to where he was standing. His mouth was pressed in a grime line while his forehead creased into a fine line. Maxxwell was not happy about what was happening, and I liked what he was feeling right now.
