Chapter 46

3rd Person Pov.

The Alpha King stares at the woman in front of him and once again, it feels like the first time he met her years ago. She is still as captivating as he remembers. Though roughened up from the possible hardship she had to endure, his heart can’t help but skip when he stares into her grey eyes. Sad and and calling out for him.

He has no protest but to heed his lover’s call.

The woman, however, can’t believe that she was able to make out from the clutches of their enemies. Nineteen years ago, their gamma had lured her out of the mansion telling her the little princess was in danger.

The woman followed him without hesitation. Furthermore, how was she supposed to know that their devoted gamma had bad intentions with them? When they reached the dense forest, she was drugged by wolfsbane which instantly weakened her wolf.

When she woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment. The dark room had no light due to the lack of windows that would allow the sun to illuminate the tiny space. She knew she was played.

Days passed and no one came to see her. Until one day when she almost succumbed to hunger, Nia approached her.

“You are here because of your husband. We want him weak for the next challenge” She had said.

She understood that being royal was both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because of the perks the title came with and a curse due to the hungry eyes aimed at the title.

“You will never weaken him” Her confidence in her mate didn’t waver.

She was a pure Lycan from a royal family. Since they had completed the mate bond and marked each other, it made him as strong as her. The marking made them possess equal strength.

Purebred Lycans are unbeatable in a fight. Unless the other party resolves to use other means like poison to weaken them. Just like they did.

The woman had laughed. Staring at the one in chains with loathing “You think being royal gives you enough mandate to decide who stays in the pack and who should leave? My son will never experience growing up with other wolves because of your pride”

The queen took her time to asses the woman only to remember they are the same family that has been after the throne for ages. The whole Nia generation made it a habit of going against the ruling family until the queen’s dad chose to banish all of them.

“You challenged the throne, what did you expect?”

Tell you what, you are dead to the world. You will never see your little princess or your mate. You are dead to the world” Nia yells bitterly and leaves her to worry.

They were wrong. She is back with her family.

“Leah” The man whispers running to his mate.

The old man roughly packs his car on the northern border of the royal pack. Three of Leonado’s men are already waiting for the woman to deliver what she was sent to.

“Is she here yet? Leo sends me to find out what is taking you too long” He says approaching the group who immediately straightens to acknowledge him. A sign of respect.

“She is almost here” The group leader announces with a slight bend of his n*eck. They are wolves recruited from other packs to do Leo’s d*rty bidding. The wolves are promised greatness when the time comes and their greed prevents them from thinking rationally.

The old man nods and instantly draws his dagger. It’s coated with wolfbane and just a strike will be lethal to the wolves. They are just ordinary anyway.

When the dagger pierces the n*eck of one of them, the other two are alarmed. They can’t decide whether to attack or not. They understand he is dangerous and a higher power. Also, the man has great importance to

their boss.

So they chose to run.

However, two consecutive bullets hit their backs before they could reach any far.

Stupid pups he laments dragging their bodies deeper into the forest so as to hide them Always causing trouble for nothing

He occupies their initial position and waits. Minutes later, a teenage girl appears cradling a sleeping boy in her arms. The girl looks terrified. Her eyes tearfully roam around the woods and when they finally land on

film, he sighs in relief and quickly walks in his direction.

Here, I have to go back before they find out it’s me” She carelessly tosses the boy in the man’s arms, waking him in the process.

“Wait” His voice forces her to stop. She can’t go against it even if she wants to. It’s a command from a higher power.

“Where is the woman? The young woman frightened, stares around in panic,

“He said he already let her out. She should be here any minute” She is about to walk away when he orders he to get in the car. She doesn’t trust this guy.

“Give me your phone” He instructs and with trembling hands, she stretches her hands forward and places the phone in the man’s palm. Why can’t I defy his order?

Leo had informed her that three of his men would be waiting. Why is it only one dude with two cars? Why does he appear so powerful?

Meanwhile, the shaking boy warily stares at the two adults. He knows he is not safe around them. Liam has never been to the woods before and as a result, he is scared to say a word.

Hello little prince, I won’t hurt you, okay? Give me a second and I will take you to your mummy” The old man whispers. He tries to be as soft as he can. The young boy doesn’t utter a word. Instead, his eyes start to water at the mention of her mummy.

He wants her. Liam knows nothing will happen to him when she and his daddy are around. But these people are unfamiliar to him.

The old man sees the fear in Liam’s eyes and decides to make it quick. He places the boy on his feet and walks to the car the girl is in.

Without wasting time, he strongly punches her temple and she slumps in the seat falling unconscious.

That will buy me some time‘ the man thinks and locks the car.

“Let me take you home sweetheart” He turns around to the boy, but little Liam is nowhere to be seen.
