Semua Bab THE ALPHA KING'S MATE: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Ever since I offered to help with pack duties, Alpha Ethan has never objected to anything I did.This way, I had the opportunity to go wherever I wanted around the pack. I worked with Davina on carrying out pack duties like getting supplies for the soldiers and assisting with cooking.Though Davina would always tell me not to get too involved with the pack's chores because I was the Luna and not a servant. Though she might be right, this is the part I chose. I wasn't expecting to be treated differently because I happen to be the Alpha's mate. In my former pack I was treated nothing like a servant but more like a slave.Also, Alpha Ethan never regarded me as his Luna for real, so why should I dwell on that?If I was to be asked, I would say he still hated me, though for reasons I still couldn't understand."Luna, have you heard?"I took a quick glance at Davina, not dwelling too much on what she was about to say, since I was busy carrying some supplies to the truck which we had just bo

"Lord Dane, this is almost a month we've been in the pack, don't you think it is time for us to start laying down our plants in the pack?" Agnus asked."Patient, it is still too early to do that. Remember, when planning such a thing, you've got to be careful about it. Though the Alpha might have been treating us nice since we are helping him with his enemies, you must not forget what happened years ago. Personally, I don't think the Alpha has forgotten that which happened to his parents.As much as we are wary of him, he's also wary of us. It wouldn't be a thing of surprise if it happens that he's also keeping an eye on us. One wrong move might put us in grave danger. We are in his pack and that gives him the best advantage over us. Do you understand?""Yes, Lord, Dane, I do understand you. But there's still a matter I'm worried about.""Spill!""It's Janice, I believe you've heard the story circulating around the pack about her and the Alpha. That is something impossible. I wonder h

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and before I knew what was happening, I found myself in the woods. I didn't know how I managed to get there, but I got there. I stopped running and fell on my knees. I cried bitterly. It was a lie. It was all a lie. He can't be my father. My mother wouldn't do that to me. Even though I never met her, I never heard anything of such. My dad never told me he wasn't my dad. But how come Lord Dane knows my name and my mother's? It cannot be true. No, I refused to accept that truth. I shook my head in denial. "The daughter of a warlock?" I said in my thoughts. I suddenly busted into confusing laughter. I couldn't tell why I was laughing either, but everything said seemed too unreal to me. After running for several hours, a heavy down pour came. I was far from the pack and there was no way I would be able to make it back to the pack on time. I might as well just bath in the rain. I shifted to my human form and laid my back on the trunk of a tree.

I don't know how else to make her stay. I know she must have heard the rumours too. It could be the reason why she was hell bent on leaving minutes ago.Good thing I was able to detect the fact that she might run away when I was not there.And just as I thought, the moment I shut the door, she opened it, trying to escape again. When I asked her about why she was trying to escape, I could tell that she had nothing to say, which further confirmed that I was right. She'd wanted to run away."Why would you want me here?""Do I need a reason to want you here?""You left your room, and I know you have someone else in mind, so why would you bring me here?"I knew it! She must have heard the rumour.Fuck! I can't believe she was trying to run away because she thought I already had someone else in mind.I didn't care if she had someone else she wanted to go back to. She's my mate, and I'm not letting her out of my sight for even a second.I pulled her into the room with me and shut the door be

I placed a light knock on the door, while looking behind me, just in case someone noticed me going to meet him. I wouldn't want Alpha Ethan to find out anything yet because I cannot explain myself yet. Just as I was about to place a second knock on the door, the door suddenly flew open and Lord Dane came into view. "Layla, I knew you'd come," he said with a delighted expression. "Don't get me wrong. I'm not here to see you because I want to. I'm here to find out every single thing that happened before I was born," I stated firmly. His happy expression slowly dimmed and sadness took over. "Please come in, I'll explain everything to you."I hesitated for a while because I didn't trust him. If there's one thing I've heard about the Warlocks, it is the fact that they were sly and cunning. "You don't have to hesitate, Layla, I'm sure you don't want the others to see you standing outside my doorstep." I walked into the room the moment he said the words."Tell me how my mom died and if
