The Alpha King’s Fated Mate (Gwen Louve)

Chapter 24

“Have you finished eating?” He asked and I nodded silently.

“I know there’s more to it…” My response as I watched him pick up my dirty plate and put it into the

sink.

He looked me square in the eye, but said nothing.

I read that the war changed everything, the king led us to victory but many sacrifices were made for

that victory. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I didn’t want to know about it from books or other people, I wanted to hear it directly from his mouth.

However, it seems like it will take time for him to open up further.

A loud gasp was heard and we looked over to see 3 waiters walking into the kitchen.

They looked down when they realized we were here. “Forgive us, Your Majesty the king and queen, we

didn’t know that…”

“It’s okay” I said quickly and smiled at them.

“Does Your Majesty need anything?” Asked the oldest ser**nt, who I think was the butler.

“It’s fine, just continue with your work” Titus replied briefly and waved his hand to send them away.

But the butler looked at me and asked through his gaze.

I smiled understandingly “Titus has already made the food, so I guess you just need to make breakfast

for him” They looked surprised at my explanation and I just remembered that he had previously said

that I was the first person to taste his cooking in a long time.

But the butler just nodded and with a friendly smile he said “We’ll prepare it right away” then everyone

left leaving us back.

Looking back at the man beside me who was silent, I tried to change the subject, “They seem surprised

to see us here.”

He looked at me deeply and fell silent, I knew he wanted to know my opinion.

I slowly walked towards him and grasped his hand with my painless hand “I’m sorry for everything that

happened to you”

He looked down at my hand before looking back up at me “You don’t

think it’s my fault?”

I frowned “Why is it your fault?” I asked confused.

“If I didn’t play on Pearl Collins’ feelings or realize that her feelings for me constituted love, then….” I

hurriedly cut off his words with a peck and startled him into silence.

I understood why he thought that way.

Everyone has a difficult past, and so does he.

“Life is hard to predict” I smiled warmly as I began to speak “but if all the bad things we always think; if I

had… if I hadn’t… or if only… there will be no end, all we can do is think positively, everything must

have a lesson and we just try our best, hopefully good things will happen in the end” The thing I said I

also intended for myself, yes, live the best and don’t think about the painful past.

Yes he once made a mistake and rejected me, but he dared to admit his mistake by paying for it with

excessive affection now.

When I looked up I was a little surprised to see him gazing at me with an admiring and longing gaze

that he had never given, as if he had just discovered another side of me that fascinated him.

“What?” I asked shyly..

He took a step towards me with his eyes holding me in their beautiful trace and not letting me step

away from him as he made his way towards me slowly, though his face was calm, the sound of my

rushing heartbeat in my ears, I knew he could hear too.

“You amaze me every day, you know?” He says, his voice strong and deep while closing the space

between us as he wraps his arms around my waist and presses me against his firm broad chest,

gazing down tenderly at me. He holds me close, his arms encasing me to him, acting as a warm chain

as they imprison me in his hold before leaning down to nuzzling his face. into my hair to inhale my

scent deeply.

“You said we have an event today, what time is it?” I whispered softly and reminded him.

His hold tightens as he pulls back to look into my eyes.

No one spoke as we stared at each other as if our souls were talking.”

I don’t know when I started to understand him better.

My maturity allowed me to see and understand him more deeply than I

thought I could.

I realize that the story has only just begun and that it is not yet finished but I will show that whatever the

gist of the story he is about to tell will not make me run away from him.

“Let’s go” He starts speaking with a pull and I follow him.

I realized that Titus in public doesn’t talk too much and rarely even smiles, maybe that’s why there are

many things that make others surprised when he’s with me.

I like that!

– Rolf Titus POV

–

I’m scared, Wolf” I told my wolf who understood my fear.

‘I know’ He replied quietly as we currently shared the same fear.

I only told her about the beginning of everything, the beginning of me becoming something that

everyone feared, not only feared by werewolves but also feared by other creatures.

A monster…

Yes, that’s when I started becoming a monster and by then my nickname was the monster king, not the

alpha king.

With a sense of vengeance I hunted down all the witches, starting with her family, the Collins. I hated

Pearl Collins’ family for having witch blood and blamed her for the death of my entire family and part of

my pack.

Then Catherine…

G*d, I just met her and claimed her.

That’s why I destroyed the Collins pack and left not a single person alive, neither woman nor child.

I mercilessly consumed all the packs that had a connection or alliance with witches no matter if they

were not dark witches.

I am a cold-blooded killer…

The pain of losing my family, pack and mate made me blind, the anger and sadness made me want to

share it with everyone.

They should feel the same pain.

Stabs, scratches, gunshots, all of them couldn’t kill me, I just realized that

the more blood on my hands, the lonelier I was and the pain wouldn’t go away.

For almost 50 years I’ve been killing and consuming all the witch blood until now, there are probably

only a few people alive who have witch blood.

Pearl’s curse haunts me.

When I find myself attracted to the opposite S**, suddenly the woman dies horribly as if to remind me

that I don’t have anything to do with other people or have no right to be happy.

Time passed and people began to forget about my cruelty back then. By confining myself to the palace

and only appearing when needed, I was no longer the monster king, but the Alpha king.

Many people also forget that I have a mate, or maybe they don’t know because I haven’t introduced

Catherine to my people.

My pretense with my fake partner began.

The greed of the young Alphas who wanted to make me their alliance made it an excuse to thrust

women at me, hoping that I would find my mate from those women.

When hope was lost, Gwen came…

And all my fears came back.
