The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate discourtesy
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 74: discourtesy.“It really is very discourteous to be so late, you know,” Regina sniffs, tears steadily trickling down her cheeks.“My most heartfelt apologies,” Mattel says, and she snorts.“And what were you going to do, if you hadn’t made it in time?” Regina digs her chin into Mattel’s shoulder like a particularly petulant huff. “If you had let me go, and I had made it all the way back to the Heartlands, with an entire kingdom in between us; if you had let me go, and I had left?” Mattel’s smile is somehow both tranquil and calamitous at the same time; like the gaze of a man who, incomprehensibly, is calmly prepared to tear entire kingdoms asunder in his path. It’s a magnitude of affection Regina has never been privy to, before, and one she doesn’t quite understand, nor know how to receive.“Something as trivial as time and space, are not sufficient deterrents,” Mattel murmurs, and Regina feels her eyes prickle once more. “I would have co
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate boorish unpleasant man
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 75: boorish unpleasant man .“And? So you are going to stay here?” Jana leans forward from his seat at the table, voice incredulous.When the grand royal procession had promptly returned, right back to the gates of Mattel’s castle, the maids had come shuffling out in confusion. Before Jana even had a chance to protest, Mattel had led the head maid aside, and quietly informed her that Regina would, in fact, be staying and not go along with Jana and Damien. In the Western Plains, and the arranged betrothal as planned.To say that the people around had been exuberant, would be an understatement.An alliance forged on mutual needs is satisfactory, but just barely; in the uncertainty of wartime, shaky political alliances will not do. The permanent, immutable allegiance forged by a marriage, is infinitely preferable to that predicated by something as trivial as contemporaneous mutual need.By the time Jana had managed to disboard the carriage, mo
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate a continued allegiance
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 76: a continued allegiance .“Mattel” Damian interrupts, expression mild and voice calm. “On behalf of my wife, Jana, I sincerely apologize for our rudeness.”Regina looks down at the table as Jana glances stubbornly away. Damian smiles at Mattel. “If you wouldn’t mind giving us and Regina a moment to convene?”Both Damian and Jana watch as Mattel looks to Regina with an assessing gaze, as if searching for his response there, in Regina’s expression. And then Regina looks up at him with a tiny, half-anxious smile, but nods.But Mattel makes no move to leave, not yet.“I’d like to speak to them, please,” Regina adds, and it’s only then that Mattel rises from his seat. He doesn’t leave without briefly grazing Regina’s cheek with the back of his hand, a gesture that the younger girl immediately leans into for that scant second.Mattel turns to glance just once, at Jana, and the look in his eyes - like a warning, somehow, as if Jana needed any war
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate wedding preparations
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 77: wedding preparations .By the time the three of them’s conversation is over, it is nearing midnight, and Regina is quite exhausted. She just barely manages to stumble to her room, where she heads immediately for one trunk in particular.After that, all Regina has the energy to do, is to change into her nightgown and dig up her sleeping mask from the bottom of her trunk.She glances at the closed door separating her and Mattel’s bedroom with a bitten lip.** Mattel is stretched along his bed, a book open in his lap, when he hears the separating door open.He looks up, and watches as it swings slowly, carefully, slender fingers visible where they’re wrapped around the edge of the door. And then, Regina’s eyes, peering at him from behind the door, before her shoulders, and half her torso comes into view.Regina stands in the doorway without moving further inside, wearing an expression so hesitant - so unsure - that it nearly breaks Mattel’
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate Fight of feelings
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 78: fight of feelings .By morning’s time, the official declaration has been spread: that King Mattel and his newly found mate, Regina are to be aligned in a marriage with Regina becoming the new Luna and Queen of the Western kingdom. All such official news and ceremony had originally been postponed in Regina’s runaway , until the she could arrive; said arrival, in turn, had been delayed because Mattel had wasted time to find her and then finally she was brought back. Which led to princess Jana and Prince Damian coming too.But now that Regina have arrived, and she has decided to stay, it is, apparently, enough for King Mattel to move forward with all the grand fanfare that would ordinarily accompany such a union. Given that Jana and Damian’s military - and, therefore, political - strength is nearly peerless in all the land, King Mattel is only thrilled to continue the original plans. And then Princess Jana and Prince Damian had only permit
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate Paradox of atmospheres
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 79: paradox of atmospheres .The next several days pass in an odd, suspended paradox of atmospheres.There is Jana, who is very visibly attempting not to murder the Alpha King Mattel in cold blood. As it is, she becomes almost terrifyingly charming in the days to follow, and it is not without a small cluster of servants and admirers that she is tailed by, at all times. Nearly the entire castle, it seems, has fallen irrevocably in love with the wealthy princess from the East-lands, and Jana wields her beauty and charisma like a weapon.Each time she and King Mattel come within the vicinity of one another, her expression turns into something chillingly beautiful, and in turn, Mattel’s lips begin to stretch into wider and wider smiles.Regina spends the time catching up with both Jana and Damien before they leave, though not without the marked edge of tension that still lingers between she and Jana. But the thing about people who have come to be
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate propriety be damned
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 80: propriety be damned.Mattel is in the middle of conversing with a nobleman from one of his kingdom’s prominent families, when abruptly, the man pauses in his tale. He turns, and is---- spellbound.Regina stands before him, a figure sublime in the pale blue fabric and golden threads she wears, cheeks rosy as she bites her lower lip with a bashfulness that makes something in Mattel’s chest heave. Under the glittering, dazzling lights of the crystal chandeliers, surrounded by a room full of extravagant nobles dressed in silks and laden with enough diamonds to fund several wars, Regina - who wears no jewels but for the small, barely visible diamonds on her ears - somehow shines brighter than any gem or star Mattel has ever seen. Mattel’s eyes are unable to tear away from the vision that Regina is, like a midsummer’s dream come to life by some hazy miracle.Regina shifts, hand nervously tracing the embroidery along her side. She seems entir
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate enemies strike again
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 81: enemies strike again .From across the dancefloor, Jana pauses with a flute of champagne halfway to her lips. Having grown tired after a set of several songs, she and Damian had retired to the sidelines, seeking to mingle and enjoy the refreshments offered at the ball. She looks to the dancefloor, where she sees Regina be dipped dramatically down by her intended, a shriek of giddy laughter escaping her lips, a joy so potent written on her features that it’s almost painful to watch.She hasn’t heard such- happiness from either one of them. Not so unrestrained, and loud.Damian places a gentle hand on her lower back, grounding her, and Jana’s eyes burn. “They look happy, she is happy,” Damian murmurs in her ear, and with a sigh, Jana leans back against his chest. Together, the two of them watch their old time friend with his mate dance in the middle of the crowd, the effervescent joy radiating from his features making them glow brighter
