บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha King and I: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

~ Ethan ~ I finally reached the Peak Mountain. The fog was thick, and it was hard to walk farther. I needed to rest for a while before continuing my journey. So, I sat on a rock, drank the water I had brought, and ate bread. Strange, I didn’t think of Cathy anymore, but Helena. Maybe the hunger and guilt finally hit me hard, so I recalled the past repeatedly. Perhaps because I had spent intimate time with Helena or knew where I should go now, I hoped I could meet Ruby soon. Ruby Miranda, I sighed. I wondered what she would do when I met her. She might curse me more instead of revoking the curse if she still hated me. I couldn’t blame her. Cathy was her sister. No matter what, I should try to see her. I would beg if I had to be. Now, it was not only for me but also for Helena and my pack. I needed to have a pup to be my heir too. Otherwise, the pack’s stability was at stake. Who would have thought that my past could badly affect me, my mate, and others? Regret always comes later

~ Helena ~ To think I couldn’t give birth to my babies hurt me so much. I loved babies and was expecting to know what it felt like to experience being pregnant, enjoying watching their growth in my womb, and giving birth to them. Giving up the idea of having my children was devastating. However, I loved Ethan. If I stayed with him, I wouldn’t experience made love fully. I would wonder for the rest of my life about it. What did it feel like other women said and giggled about the fantastic feelings when their spouses made love to them? But then, I couldn’t lose Ethan. Yes, we had already done the outercourse, but not the intercourse (the mating/the having sex itself). Love was not only about having sex. It was not only about having children. My tears were down to my cheeks, and Ethan wiped them with his handkerchief. Despite my tears, I gave him a weak smile. “I have decided not to leave you.” I took a deep breath before continuing, “I can accept we won’t be mating for the rest of ou

“Are you sure?” Red asked me. I nodded. “Yes. Please, don’t tell Ethan anything. Now, can you help me?” “Anything, Luna.” Red bent his head. “Please take me home and help make Ethan hate me.” Red let out a sigh. “What will you do?” “Maybe I will date Constantine a few times. Please let Ethan know when I go with him.” “Luna, don’t do it!” “I must!” I sniffed. “Otherwise, Ethan won’t believe I want to leave him. If we separate peacefully, we may find it harder to let go. If he hates me, he will forget me faster.” “I doubt it, Luna.” Red looked elsewhere. “Besides, both of you have marked each other. It creates a powerful bond. Our Alpha is not a fool. He may realize it sooner than you think.” “No, if I have Constantine by myself. He treated me sweetly. So I think Ethan will believe it in the end.” I stared at Red. “Help me, please. It’s my last request.” Red knelt, then kissed my feet. “I have never guessed we would be in this situation. It is 180 degrees from the last time. I

“I cannot say I am sorry.” Constantine stroked my hair and touched my lips. “You are too tempting.” “I-I can’t. I’m sorry.” I tried to calm my breath. Of course, it was unfair to Constantine since I just used him. But then, it was the fastest way to make Ethan hate me. “No, it is alright. I shouldn’t move too fast.” He smiled and kissed my forehead, then lifted my body and returned me to my seat. We didn’t talk anymore until we arrived at a five-star hotel. I blinked. What would we do here? “Relax. We will enjoy great meals and music tonight. The hotel has a prestigious chef of the 5-culinary star. Tonight, they also have a live orchestra.” I gaped. Only for dinner, we went to a luxurious hotel. It should cost a fortune to eat here. I bit my lower lip, feeling guilty of involving Constantine in my situation with Ethan. “What are you thinking? You bit your lower lip again.” “Nothing.” I shook my head. “It must cost you a lot for us to have dinner here.” “Why not? High quality

~ Ethan ~ Then Constantine’s car arrived. He walked toward me. “So has she told you she wanted to end everything? She wants me.” “You lie! What potion did you give to her? Is it a stimulant like before?” “No, I didn’t give her any potion.” Constantine laughed out loud. “But Helena loves me if you want it to be called a potion. So maybe yes, it is a love potion.” I wanted to punch Constantine right now. “I know you drugged her again. Have you no honor? You have already had Victoria. So why must you want Helena too?” “Because I want both. Victoria is a mistress, while Helena will be my mate.” He smirked. “A mistress can’t bear my heir. So, Helena’s baby will be my heir.” “No! She’s mine!” I growled. “You haven’t talked with her yet. Otherwise, you will know she is unhappy with you. She wants to end your relationship. That is why she came to me.” “You lie!” “Really? Ask her!” I turned my head to look at Helena. That was when Constantine crashed his body upon me. He hit my face,
