Chapter 7

KEVIN

My wolf always listens to her somehow. She's my true mate, though we're not of the same rank. I am way above her and she's not supposed to be around me. 

What can I do if fate has made me her slave instead of mine? She's the only one who can tame me. 

She didn't want to tell me the truth but I found out. I followed her with another car after she left. I know Seth saw me but he wouldn't dare tell her anything. 

I went back into the mansion and dragged her out ignoring my family and everyone else. 

"Sir, I'm sorry. I didn't..." 

I stopped in front of the car I brought still fuming in anger. I am mad at my brother, I am mad at my mother, I am mad at myself and her. She was hiding my brother's abuses. Yet she wants to prove herself worthy to me?. 

"Why did you lie to me?." I growled. 

She moved back a little, afraid of what I might do. A wave of emotions swept through me. My breath itched on my throat, my heart beating hard against my chest. 

"I didn't... I'm sorry Sir. I promised that I wouldn't say anything to you." She replied with fear. 

"So you're admitting to being bullied by my brother?." 

She shook my head. I know she is not going to say anything, because she already made that promise. 

I sighed in frustration, "I am surprised by your level of integrity, and your level of stupidity. You chose to let my brother bully you without a fight, and you want me to accept you as my mate?." I mocked. 

She didn't reply. I'm right about the fact that she's a coward, I am acting irrational though. I know how weak she is and how my brother's going to finish her if she challenge him. 

"Get into the car." I ordered getting inside. 

She rushed into the car and I drove off immediately. I can't help but glance at her occasionally through the ride. Her expression is blunt, I know she's afraid of me. She looked through the window, my whole life is a mess. I am supposed to treat her like a slave but here I am helping her. 

My family turned their backs on me because of my brother. I can't really say that I loathe my family right now. I'm still hoping for a change, I hope that doesn't happen when it is too late. They're covering up for him instead of letting him pay for his crimes. 

"How are you feeling?." I asked after a long while of silence. 

She looked at me dumbfounded, shock evident on her face. 

"I am... Okay. I already got treatment for my arm." She replied. 

I stopped the car. Seth also pulled up behind me. 

"Seth will take you home so you can rest. You have the rest of the day off. I have to go somewhere else. Go to him." 

"Thank you Sir." 

She got down without arguing. At least she's learnt to do one thing, and that is not to argue with me. Seth drove past me, I turned back and headed for the mansion. I had a meeting with the pack elders and important subjects. Also, I will warn my brother never to lay his filthy hands on my Anastasia. 

My Anastasia?. Where's that coming from Kevin?.

I got back to the mansion which happens to be the palace. I am supposed to live there, but I've got work to do. And this place is very far from my work. 

"Kevin. What just happened between you and your secretary?." My mother asked rushing to me. 

I palmed my face. "Mother please. I am not ready to explain anything to you. I have to be at the meeting. Someone is cutting off the food supply of the pack, so please excuse me." 

"You're not walking out on me, are you?." 

"Of course not mother. But I really have to go, I'm sorry if it looks like that." 

"It is very disrespectful to walk out on your mother, I don't care if you're the king." She protested. 

"What's disrespectful mother, is the fact that you won't let me punish my brother for his wrong doings. Other people face the law, but you keep covering up for him and he's getting worse." I yelled. 

"He's your brother Kevin. You can't deny that fact no matter what, you know I always try to talk to him but he will never listen. What do you want me to do? Watch you both kill yourselves?." 

"The least you could do for everyone is, let him be punished for once. That way, he will stop hurting people. He's a prince after all." I told her and walked out. 

If I stay to argue more, there may be another reason for me to get angry. I don't want to lose my patience anymore. I walked to the court for the meeting, everyone was already waiting for me. 

An hour later, I was done with the meeting. Luckily, I met Robin on my way out. 

"I'm not sorry for what I did to her, don't expect me to say that." He said confident. 

I smirked, "I am not sorry for beating you up in front of her. I want to see you try laying your dirty hands on her again, then you'll join the ancestors. That's a promise, and you know I don't make empty promises." 

"What's so special about her? Don't tell me you've fallen in love with omega. You're a king yet you never act like one, I deserve the throne not you. You're strong enough to beat your own brother, but you're weak to be a king." 

"A true king respects his subject the same way they respect him. Not bully them just to prove your point, you will never be king for as long as I am alive." 

He scoffed, "We'll see about that Kevin." 

I walked out ignoring him. Talking to him is a waste of time. I got into my car and drove back to my own mansion. I'm cancelling all my meetings to go check on Sia. I don't know why I suddenly want to see her. 

I feel like the moon goddess is punishing me for something I don't know of. It's not enough to have a venomous and careless person as my brother, I have an omega as my mate. How wonderful is that?.

I miss Nina a lot. I miss everything about her. No woman can make me feel the way she does yet I can't stop my sexual desire. Sooner or later, I'll have to get someone to satisfy me. 

"We can always get our mate to do that." Black my wolf said to me. 

He's finally talking to me. He's been mad at me for a while because I accepted Nina. I don't understand why my wolf thinks she's fishy, but at least she's gone now. 

"I have not claimed her as my mate and there's no way an omega would be accepted as the Luna of the white moon pack." I told him bluntly. 

"You can do whatever you want as the king." 

"Black please. Not now. I am sorry but you have to control yourself around her. She's scared of everyone." 

I didn't hear anymore from my wolf as we got back to the mansion. As soon as I walked into the living room, I was met with a strong scent and a thrilling sight. The scent is so pleasant, I recognize who it is. 

My mouth almost fell open at the sight of what she's wearing. Is she doing this on purpose or what? I could feel my erection threatening to tear my pants down.

She's wearing a lingerie, which is quite revealing. And for some fucking stupid reason, I think she's looking breathtaking. She's holding a glass of juice and coming from the kitchen, she didn't notice me standing yet. 

I think she recognized my scent as she jerked back in shock, why is she shocked? Did she think she was the only one in the house? I have male workers for crying out loud. 

"Sir?." Was all she could say. 

My eyes roamed her body, I just can't stop myself from looking at her. My wolf is making things worse. She noticed my gaze on her and ran upstairs almost tripping. I followed her upstairs and stopped in front of her room, the door was slightly open. I walked in and met her roaming through her closet and murmuring. 

"Can you stop doing that?." I demanded in my cold tone. 

She jumped in fright. 

"What are you doing here Sir? I... I actually wanted to change to something better." She stuttered nervous. 

I know she's uncomfortable. She needs to stop acting weak at least. I am her mate, I deserve to see everything she's hiding. They're all mine. 

Did I say mine? I sound absurd but she's mine. Sooner or later, I'm going to need her services. She's bound to stay with me, Queen or not. Because my wolf only listens to her. Only her.
