Chapter 6

Author: Trust
"What's so different? It's just a typical man's pride. Matthew realized that our princess was slipping out of his grasp and felt threatened."

I was in a daze. I didn't even realize that Edwin had walked through the door with a plate of moonberry cake.

"You're awake. Are you hungry?"

Having just woken up, I was feeling slightly groggy. I merely nodded at his question dazedly. "Yeah."

Edwin scooped up a spoonful of cake and brought it to my lips. "We've added herbs to this cake. They'll help with your recovery."

I hesitantly took a bite and found the cake to be far more bitter than anything I had ever tasted.

"Don't try to get out of eating this, Queenie. If you don't finish the entire cake, the chef will add these herbs to other dishes."

Edwin was clearly threatening me. It seemed like the rumors were true—he truly was heartless!

He wanted to make sure I actually finished my medicine. Aside from getting some work done, he practically stayed by my side all day.

    When I was a kid, Mom and Dad wanted me to blend in with the humans and study abroad. However, someone would always rank above me in my exams, making me feel like a terrible student. I even cried for several nights over it.Now, I knew that person was Edwin."Oh, right. Alpha, I remember you pretended to be the princess' pen pal and wrote letters to her for the past ten years. Do you still have those letters?"I subconsciously drew closer to the wall, wanting to hear better.Edwin chuckled, saying, "Yes. I kept them in my safe.""It looks like Matthew did you a favor by snatching Kylie away. That's how you got the chance to form a mate bond with the princess.""If the Sunpeak pack hadn't used their moonstone resources to pressure our Alpha, no one could ever have a say in who his mate should be.""If they had chosen to send the princess to become our Alpha's mate, he would've treated her better than anyone else ever could. No one would be able to steal her away!"Matthew's li

    I was at the end of my wits, so I ordered the bodyguards to drag Kylie from the middle of the road to the side."Kylie, you know very well that Matthew and I ended things long ago. I've already blocked him from contacting me and deleted his number. Whatever that's happening between you two is none of my business.""Impossible. If you two aren't in contact, why does Matt look at your photos every day and ignore me? Queenie, I'm begging you. Please give Matt back to me!"More people had gathered around to see what the fuss was all about. As I turned to return to the car, Kylie instinctively moved to continue blocking the vehicle.However, Matthew appeared just then, grabbing her hand and slapping her. "Kylie, haven't you caused enough trouble? Do you want everyone to know about our scandal?"Kylie covered her face, looking rather wronged. "Matt…""That's enough. Let's hurry home. Stop embarrassing me in public." Matthew dragged Kylie into the car. He wanted to greet me, but I had a

    As I sneered at Matthew, he became slightly flustered and grew more irritated than ever. It was as if a fire had ignited within him, making it hard for him to breathe.Matthew pointed at Edwin. "Queenie, even if you're trying to piss me off, there's no need to form a mate bond with this dude! Have you forgotten what the rumors say about him? Be careful—he might kill you!"Edwin raised an eyebrow, his smile not reaching his eyes.Looking at my parents' darkened expressions, I knew I had to put an end to this. "Matthew, I know what I'm doing. You don't have to concern yourself with my family matters."Edwin chuckled and nodded in satisfaction. "I think you should leave."Seeing that we were almost done talking, Dad waved for the bodyguards to approach at once.Before the bodyguards could escort Matthew and Kylie out of the hall, Matthew turned toward me. "Queenie, come with me!"However, Edwin blocked his attempt to grab me. "Matthew, she's my mate."Matthew's eyes turned red. He

    On the tablet screen was a draft of a fireworks design, and the pattern was designed around my name."Do you like it? I'll set them off for you in a few days.""Yes." I nodded, sending a copy of the design file to my phone. Then I groggily fell asleep.The car rolled to a stop at the entrance to the Shadowstar pack.While this banquet was considered a family dinner, it was actually an occasion for my mate to officially meet my parents.I was a little anxious. Even my palms were starting to sweat.Edwin patted the back of my hand to comfort me. Just as he was about to lead me inside, his men appeared and began whispering to him."Go ahead. I can handle it on my own," I said.Edwin's golden eyes darkened. "Give me ten minutes. Please wait for me."So, I waited in the hall, chatting with the adults. Soon, one of the pack members came to inform me that my mate had arrived.But the one who showed up wasn't Edwin—it was Matthew.I scowled when I saw Matthew approach, holding Kylie

    Matthew and Kylie didn't seem to have heard me.Tears blurred Kylie's vision as she stepped forward to grab my hand. She wanted to take off the necklace around her neck and give it to me."Queenie, you're mad that I took Matt's affection from you, right? You can have this necklace!"I scowled as I tried to break free of her grasp. "Let me go."Kylie fell backward. Then, she held up the shattered necklace, looking rather aggrieved. "I'm sorry, Queenie. I only wanted to give this to you."Matthew tugged at his tie before shoving me aside. He lifted Kylie in his arms, looking rather upset."Queenie, it took Kylie one whole month to get this necklace custom-made! Never mind if you don't appreciate it—Kylie wanted to give it to you, yet you shattered it just like that. A petty and jealous woman like you doesn't deserve to be my lover."With that, Matthew turned to leave.As he walked away, Kylie raised her head from the crook of Matthew's neck and licked her lips, as if trying to ch
