Chapter 14

AMY.

Danford is a very friendly man from his gaze and temperament. We only met once at the hospital, and now I wasn't expecting that he would be so free.

“Boss, I am here for an important matter, but…” he said and looked at me before looking back at Charles. 

I could tell they wanted me out of the room. I guess the matter is a very secretive matter, and they won't want it leaking or anything.

“I will go now, King Charles. See you later!” I said, trying to get my hands off his hands, but Charles looked at his assistant and back at me.

“You don't need to go anywhere. We are not done talking. I have to tell you some things about the scars too!” He said and faced his assistant.

“Danford, are you implying that my woman is a stranger and she is not to be trusted, or what?” He asked him, and Danford looked at me.

He looked confused before looking at Charles, who seemed to be getting annoyed by what he was saying at the time.

“Sir, I didn't say that she is a stranger or a spy. I just think it will not be wise to stress the young lady with the workload of the pack.” He said, and I sighed.

“This is the work of men; we should deal with it. She is meant to familiarize herself with the pack and the people around,” he said, and Charles only calmed down a little bit.

“I was busy with her before you showed up. You can't just have her leave just because you want to say something important.” Charles said,

I felt honored listening to him, but at the same time, I understood where Danford was speaking from, and I honestly do not want to be the one coming between him and his work.

“Charles, I think I need to check with Mrs. Agnes and see what I can do in the meantime!” I said and stood up, but he stood up with me as well.

“You don't have anything you need to do; you are just looking for a way to get out of here because Danford said so.” He said and held my hand again.

He looked at Danford, who immediately looked away like he was hiding from something.

“If anyone is to get out of here, it will be you, Danford! So you either speak about the matters that are pressing, or you don't!” He said to Danford, and Danford sighed.

“Well, I was informed that the previous queen mother and your brother are coming to the castle now!” He said, and I was confused.

“What!” Charles subconsciously let go of my hand as a result of the statement and faced Danford seriously.

I guess he wasn't expecting that news at all. That was why he was asking Danford to speak freely, and he couldn't. 

“Yes, it just came to my notice that the boundaries have been calling the castle for the past two hours to inform them about the issue, but no one picked up,” he said, and Charles was agitated.

“This shouldn't be happening on your watch, Danford!” Charles said, and Danford looked down.

“This is the last thing we were expecting, so I didn't pay attention to the calls,” Danford said, and Charles walked to his table.

“Who is at the gate? Who is at the call center as well? I want both of them to be penalized for this!” he said, and I swallowed, seeing how angry he was.

He really does detest his stepmother and his stepbrother. Who knew they were still alive? I had thought they would have died or something like that.

Well, they both deserve that!

But why is he so agitated about the two of them? He is now the king. He is the voice of the city, and he has power over the city! So he should be more confident.

“I will see to that, but I wanted to make sure I informed you before they got here!” Danford said, and Charles sighed.

“How many more minutes do I have?” Charles asked, and Danford looked at him with a hopeless look.

It was like everything was beyond control at the moment.

“They are here!” He said, and Charles looked at him.

“What!” He asked, and Danford nodded.

“Amy, I will have Danford escort you back to your room. I have a lot to do now!” Charles faced me, and I shook my head.

“If you are busy, you will need Danford more than I do! So go with him; I will find my way to my room, and I will be safe. I am in your castle!” I said, and Charles shook his head.

He didn't buy the idea as he walked up to me.

“You are still new here; I don't want you to miss the road or something!” He said, and I walked to him and held his hand.

“I know my way; I will be fine. You should go and deal with anything and know that you are stronger than anyone, and you are my king, the Lycan Alpha, and you are the best,” I said, slowly tapping his shoulder, trying to encourage him at the time.

He sighed, and Danford spoke up.

“I think she is right, King. You need my help against your brother and his mother. Miss Amy is a very smart woman; she will make her way through the room!” Danford said, and I nodded.

Charles finally sighed in relief and looked at me! 

“Okay, make sure you are fine. I will come to see you once I am done!” He said, and I nodded.

I turned to leave, but he held my hand, and I could see a lot of emotions in his eyes. He kissed my hand and smiled.

“Okay, take care!” He said, and I smiled. I walked out of the room and headed straight back to my room.

I was almost in my hallway when I heard a voice calling behind me.

“Hello, beauty!”
