บททั้งหมดของ Choose Your Brother's Widow, Alpha: I Take the King: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 25

ATHALIAH I stared down incredulously at the note on my hand. Reading it over and over again like the writings in it would suddenly change. Rhett had invited me to join him for the council meeting tomorrow, under his supervision.I scoffed, he'd framed his letter like he was doing me a favour by finally giving me what I wanted. But going out under supervision isn’t freedom. As far as I'm concerned, it is control, the worst kind of it.The maid had already turned to leave. But I called out to her, making her halt and turn back to me.“Relay my message to the Alpha,” I said.She let out a small smile and walked back to me.“Tell him I am not going.”Her eyes widened.“My lady?” She panicked.But I kept my head straight and spoke again.“You heard me. Tell him I won't be accompanying him anywhere.”The maid looked down at her fingers nervously, terror flashing her features.“I…I…I don't think I can tell him that,” she mumbled, her voice dropping so low.“Then go about your day. I'll tel

RHETTI've led this pack from a very young age. Most Alphas three times my age doubted I could do it. But I made the decisions, proved them wrong and ascended to becoming the Alpha King. In all my years of being an Alpha, not one soul has looked me in the eye and said no to me. Or even argue with me.But one tiny woman I'd pulled out of a storm did.Stubborn, that was the only word to describe her.I'd softened myself for her, to make her feel welcomed and even went out of my way to decide on things that'd actually help her. Yet this one stubborn wolf didn't seem to appreciate any of that.Walking out of her room, I stood on the terrace, overlooking the pack. Lighted up a cigarette and puffed the smoke out into the air.I mindlinked one of the maids and soon she stood before me.“Go to Athaliah. Tell her she can go out alone since she wants that so badly,” I instructed.I saw her eyes widen in surprise before she scrambled off. I'd never bent for anyone and yet here I am doing that all for one

RHETTThings genuinely got better between Athaliah and I after that night.She no longer looked at me like she hated my guts or like I was someone out to ruin her life.She became livelier and smiled more. That made me realize I'd been the one holding back her smile all these while she's been here and that genuinely made me beat up myself a bit.She started going out often and exploring the pack. Sometimes, all on her own. Other times she went with Octavia. Their relationship has gotten even better. I feared they'd be joined to the hip soon. All I prayed to the moon goddess for, is to not make her anything like Octavia. Otherwise I'd lose my mind.It was hard not letting my men trail after her from a distance every time she stepped out. She was pregnant, and still looked a bit sickly. Her safety was my priority. But each time I try to give out the order for her to be trailed after, I keep recalling I'd promised not to let her get followed. It took every bit of self restraint in me to
