Mated To Alpha Gregory

Adams’ POV.

We soon arrived at Green Forest Park, just some hours before the start of the event.

Everywhere was a bustle of joy and laughter as torches lighted up the whole place, making it seem as though it was day.

As we got there, I noticed a change in Lilith’s demeanor. She no longer had a smile on her face and she kept looking in a particular direction.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

I followed her gaze and saw her staring at an abandoned house. A tear soon came out of her eyes, but she cleaned it up as soon as it did.

She stood, her eyes still focused on the house and I took it as an opportunity to talk to Ronan. “What’s up with her,” I asked.

“She used to live there with her parents before they were killed.”

My heart twisted in pain after I heard the reason for her sudden sadness. I walked closer to her and slid my fingers into hers. She didn’t move or object, but sighs escaped her lips continuously.

“Don’t think too much about it, okay, I’m sure they are happy wherever they are,” I said, trying to comfort her.

“My father served this pack all his life and what he got was death as a reward. I will take my revenge on everyone involved in the plot, one after the other.” She spoke those words with so much bitterness and anger, I couldn’t help but sigh.

I drew her closer for an embrace, falling her warm skin on mine.

We arrived at the mansion where the main event was to take place. Music and the scent of fresh wine mixed with the air gave a delightful welcome.

With Lilith and Ronan at my side and numerous soldiers and maids behind us, it didn’t take long to attract the attention of those already present.

Shouts of, “It’s the Alpha king,” soon resonated with the crowd, and they bowed their heads as all activities stopped.

“Rise!” I waved my free hand, and they all raised their heads. Raider must have heard of my presence as he soon arrived with Cassandra beside him.

He was dressed in a purple silk robe which was covered with all kinds of precious stones, making him shine like the stars.

He had an air of superiority around him and an authoritative aura which made everyone around tremble at his presence.

Cassandra, on the other hand, looked like a lifeless, dull stuffed with makeup. Beneath the mask on her face was pure hatred and jealousy. She was dressed in a purple silk robe, just like Raider and together, they looked like exotic wine bottles which were placed for auction.

“My King,” Raider greeted. “It is with great pleasure I welcome you to Green-forest pack.”

“I and my house are honored to be your guest, Raider or should I say… Alpha Raider.” We both laughed as we hugged. “Congratulations, and I’m sorry about your father.”

He nodded, all smiles. Who would have known we almost had a fight some days ago at my place?

All through the time we talked, my eyes never left Lilith, just as her’s never left Cassandra’s and vice versa. If looks could kill, they would have died as they shot daggers without care at each other.

Raider must have noticed too. He wrapped his hands around Cassandra’s waist and pulled her closer to him. She winced, as if in pain, but it was all fake, she just wanted his pity… To make Lilith jealous.

“Ouch! My waist, it hurts,” she cried. In the space of a second, tears had begun to fall from her eyes, and it made me wonder if she always had it kept there for cases like this.

Her drama was beginning to attract stares from the people around her, but it didn’t seem to bother her.

“Oh my goodness Cassandra, are you okay?” Raider asked, holding her like she was some prized treasure.

I rolled my eyes, disgusted at Cassandra for making a fuss out of the situation. Till, I saw Raider wink at her– It was all planned.

Ted twisted with disgust inside me, and I was on the verge of blowing up when a soft hand rested on my shoulder.

Lilith leaned closer and whispered into my ears, “I’m exhausted Adams, and I don’t think I’m feeling too well.”

I nodded and faced the couple who were busy playing fooling themselves. “My queen is tired and would like to rest before the main event. Is a chamber ready for us as we won’t be returning until it’s morning?”

They broke away from each other’s embrace, a flustered look filling their faces.

“O… Of course my king, come this way.” Raider let go of Cassandra and led us into the mansion.

We went upstairs with golden railings, into a long passage. At the end of the passage, we stopped before a wooden door.

“My king,” Raider began. “This is the room reserved for you and… Lilith.”

“She’s your queen!” Ronan thundered from behind us, startling him in the process. “You will address her as your Queen always, or you’ll be licking your blood off the tip of my sword.”

A satisfied smirk sat itself at the corner of my lips as I saw Raider’s face. It had become pale and almost lifeless.

He opened his mouth to speak but at the same time, Ronan slid his sword out, a little. Raider gulped hard and kept shut.

He made a smile to hide his anxiety, but it didn’t seem to work as his fingers trembled on the door knob and goosebumps challenged themselves for a spot on his skin.

He opened the door and led us in. It was a large room with a king-sized bed which could contain up to ten people. The golden yellow paint of the wall glowed under the influence of the fire burning in the fireplace.

“I’ll send the maids up with food for the both of you,” Raider said, about to leave.

“What about me? What would I eat? And where would I sleep?” Ronan demanded fiercely.

“Uh…” Raider stammered, scratching his head.

“Don’t tell me you don’t have a place reserved for me, do I look like a common slave to you?” Ronan asked.

Raider stared at Ronan, short of words. “Follow me,” he said with a frown on his face.

He turned to go back when Ronan called him again. “You know we came in with quite a company right? Get every one of them a nice place to rest their head. Trust me, you don’t want to mess with me.”

Raider was already fuming despite the fake smile on his face. His face had become red and his fist was clutched behind him.

He walked out and Ronan went after him, leaving Lilith and I alone in the room.

“Finally, he’s gone,” I sighed. “I thought he would never leave.”

Lilith seemed distant as she sat on the bed, staring at the room. I moved closer and sat beside her, admiring her beauty.

“Lilith I…”

“Let’s play a game Adams,” she suddenly said as her face brightened up.

Confused as to the sudden change of expression, I asked, “what game?”

She smiled, and whispered into my ears and my eyes widened at what she said. “No way!”
