Chapter 11

Author: Geese
The jarring ringtone cut through the air.

I tensed all over, the fear of being caught making me instinctively anxious.

Frederick let out a low grunt, pushing deeper as if to chastise me for my wandering attention.

"Don't worry about it," he panted, his lips finding mine, "stay with me here."

The ringing was incessant, though.

I stole a glance at the tablet, and my heart sank: Arthur Jameson was calling.

"It's Arthur," I said, a wave of panic washing over me as I tried to disentangle myself

  • The Alpha King I Paid For   Chapter 12

    The following day.The scene was set at the Global United Press Conference, held at the Grand Peace Hotel, a neutral ground straddling the territories of both sides. The media swarmed, their cameras and microphones poised for a spectacle, the tension in the air thick enough to rival the signing of a truce.There I was, center stage on the presidium, clad in a black turtleneck dress so conservative I might as well have tried to vanish into the floorboards. To my left, Arthur, the once formidable head of the Jameson family, sat with an IV drip attached, his expression one of utter defeat.The chaos erupted the previous night, following a video call so bizarre it bordered on the surreal. Arthur stormed the hospital, gun in hand, demanding the truth from the doctor friend. The revelation hit him hard; he clutched his chest and collapsed, his fury sending him into a shock that had the ambulance siren wailing through the night.Then, propped up by sheer willpower and a refusal to show

It's a video call!!"His icy laugh sent shivers down my spine, his eyes glinting with mischief."Then let's switch it up. Turn around

    The atmosphere turned solid.Fated mate.That phrase tied it all together.No wonder the infamous mad wolf, rumored to have nearly turned Eurona on its head in his quest for a mate, went off the rails that night.No wonder I, who had never even held a man's hand, felt like I was under a spell, his scent so alluring it brought tears to my eyes, and I found myself willingly jumping into his embrace.Turns out, it was not the alcohol.It was destiny.Frederick watched me intently, waiting for my reaction.Was I moved? Stunned? Or was I like the rest of humanity, fearful of that strange concept?I racked my brain, pointing first at him and then at myself."So, if we're fated mates, that's like being legally married, right?"Frederick nodded, a look of pride on his face. "Exactly.""So," I gulped, hope shining in my eyes."So, if I'm with you from now on, does that mean it's free?"Federick was speechless.His tender gaze shattered.He inhaled sharply, his laughter tinged wi

    With the black gold card in hand, I felt not just empowered but also embraced by warmth. Stretched out on the sumptuous silk bed Frederick chose for me, I was embarking on a challenging mission: diving into the online drama. The world was spinning with a touch of enchantment.Outside, the distant hum of patrol boats slicing through the sea reached my ears – Arthur's human forces gearing up.However, the real war was online.Trending at the top:#Human-WerewolfRelationsCountdown##SaveJamesonHeiress##WolfKingFrederickVillainy#The internet was ablaze with outrage:[It's rape! Lock the Alpha King away!][We have to fight! Stand up for human dignity!]Those comments made me feel so guilty I could barely breathe.If that turned into an all-out war, it would be over that ridiculous three thousand in "hush money."Then, a gossip forum post grabbed my attention:[Let's Think About It: Could They Be Into Kinky Role-Play?]The blogger mused, [Folks, hear me out. If the Alpha King

    Lucas's muscles tensed, but he managed to yell out his duty-bound warning."It's all coming down this time!"The Human Affairs Department had just dropped a bombshell on the Wolf Kingdom, slapping them with an official complaint that screamed 'heinous interspecies abduction and assault'! They were barking up our tree, demanding we cough up hostages and ship you off to face the music!"And Arthur's lost his marbles! He's flipped our company in the human world, turned every human shareholder against us! Now our stock's in freefall, and the banks, playing it safe, have put all of Bloodmoon's dough on ice over there!"Our assets in the human world, they're just dead in the water. "My heart did a nosedive, and I hopped off the dining table.Assets frozen? Was Arthur gunning for a showdown with the Wolf Kingdom?I glanced at Frederick. King of Wolves or not, the guy still needed cash.If he went belly up because of me.Guilt swamped me, washing away any lingering daydreams."Uh,"

    Frederick stormed out of the basement with me in his arms, his face like a thundercloud.The wolf servants bowed their heads so low they might as well have tried to sink into the floor, yet their ears were perked up high.When we reached the dining room, Frederick kicked the oak door open with a bang.Silence fell over the world.He strode to the head of the table and sat down with me on his lap."Hey," I wriggled, feeling a bit awkward."Eating like this, what would people think if they saw us?" I muttered, uneasy about the informality of our dinner.Frederick's arm was a firm band around my waist, his other hand confidently wielding the cutlery as he proclaimed, "In this castle, nothing gets past me without my say-so, not even a fly."However, then there was Lucas, the one man who could turn the tables on us. I could not help but think of him.Frederick leaned into me, his chin resting in the crook of my neck like a big, affectionate wolf.He inhaled deeply there and then,
