Alpha King's Human Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

It was 5 p.m. in the evening, and still, there was no sight of Orpheus. It was just like the morning when I woke up to an empty bed with his side a little cold to show that he had been up for some time. I was moving around the palace since I had nothing to do, but at the same time, I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the king. I was going over to the kitchen when I bumped into a maid I was familiar with. She was one of the girls Josiane had been talking to during the night of the ball. "Hey, Micaela, it's been a while," she said, holding onto a tray with both her hands. "Hi Kelly," I greeted with a smile on my face. "I would really love to chat with you, but I need to take this to the king," she said, raising the tray up a little. She attempted to walk past me, but I stopped her by blocking her way. "Why don't I take it? You must have other things to do." I haven't seen him all day; excitement filled me up. It was like bubbles that had been building up in my stomach were now

"Wait... what?" I asked, sitting up a little to stare at his face. "What do you mean you're leaving? Where are you going to, and when are you coming back?" “Relax, Ayárun, you," he says, running his hand through my hair. "What I meant to say was that I will be leaving for five days. I need to attend a treaty pact in Italy and will be back next week." "Do you have to go?" "It's important I go; if it wasn't, I wouldn't think twice about staying here with you. Snuggling together," he said, kissing me. Lifting me up so that I was straddling his hips. I released my lips from his when he started to sit up, both my arms on his shoulder blades. "When do you have to leave?" "This evening "Isn't that early?" I whined. "Can't you leave tomorrow instead?" "I can't, Micaela." He used his thumb to caress my face. "They are already expecting my arrival, and the quicker I leave, the quicker I get things done so that I can come back home to you." I pout, feeling sad that he was about

My jaw drops to the floor when Neve pushes the door open, and I take in the extravagance of the house. Instead of the usual Palace's dark exterior, this place was filled with bright paint and furniture, each with unique patterns and textures. I hesitantly made my way inside, still in awe. Neve walks in, closing the door behind us. "Do you like it?" she asked, coming to stand beside me. "I will be nuts not to; your place is really beautiful." "Thank you," she beamed, ushering me to the living room. "I did most of the design myself." "Wow, what aren't you good at?" I gushed, causing her to laugh as she shrugged her shoulders. "Have a seat." She says, going into another room before coming back with a glass of juice and placing it in front of me. "I will be right back; I need to check on the kids. Their nanny already left," she mutters, leaving the living room this time to go upstairs. I remained seated, my eyes wandering around the room, still taking in its beauty. It wa

Orpheus POV. "The pack that had been attacked and can't stand on their feet since their Alpha was killed and their territory taken has decided to join our packs, at least for the meantime till a place is provided for them and a new alpha will be selected." "How many casualties were lost in the fight apart from their alpha?" I asked, leaning on the counter and pouring a whisky into a glass cup. "except for the alpha and a couple of their warriors, but there was no life lost from the women and children. The men really fought hard to save their families and friends," Alpha Stefano says with pride in his eyes. "A ceremony will be held this evening to honour the dead, and they would like for you, their king, to attend. It will be a great honour to have you in their midst." "At what time will the ceremony be over?" I asked, checking the time on my watch. "The laying of the dead will be done on Friday, but there will be a party afterward to celebrate their legacy." I nodded; it

"What?" I whispered very quietly after some time. It didn't help that I was caught off guard by his question. Was he finally telling me what a mate signifies to them? At the same time, I was puzzled to see the seriousness in his face. I wasn't sure what she was talking about, but I guess I was about to find out. Orpheus continued to look at me expectantly, still waiting for my answer, so I cleaned up my sweaty palm on my dress, giving him a slight nod. "I have heard the maids and Neve talk about it, but I have no clue what it means to your people," I told him. "I’m sure you don't; that's why I'm going to explain it to you," he said, exhaling. "Like you humans have your respective religions, we also serve someone we call the moon goddess, Areola. With every one of our kind being created, she had given us a mate, someone destined for each wolf, a soul mate. They are a part of us, kind of like our other half. If a mate dies leaving the other, it is worse than death, as the pain
