Alder’s POV
“I don’t like how that trainee talks about my mate that way,” Lance said. He was complaining about the way Lica had been talking to his mate, Sheena. Because of that, he wanted me to disqualify her, but I couldn’t do that. She was signed in by Alpha Remos, and I didn’t want him to think that we were acting high and mighty. “Do we really need for her to wait to do something before we can actually remove her from the program?”
“Lance, you have to keep your cool. Sheena did not say anything. Why are you so affected by her?”
“What if someone says something to Her Highness? Are you just going to keep your cool?” He asked. I know what he meant, and, of course, I am not going to let it slide. But I think Sheena wanted to handle the issue with Lica herself.
“Have you talked to Sheena about this?” I asked him. He didn’t say anything, so I presume that his mate had already told him to just let it go. “Trust your mate. I’m sure that she has been handling Lica since they were a kid, and no, I don’t think that she had been bullied in a way that she was always hurt. I think Sheena just let her, although she was also confused about why her sister was doing that.”
“How can you be so sure?” he asked,
“Can’t you see how strong your mate is? Do you actually think that she’s the type to get herself bullied without doing anything? She wouldn’t be here if she was what you think she is.” I assured him. He nodded his head, and I think he understood what I meant. “In time, Sheena will put her sister in her place. Just wait,” I added.
He left my office and thought about what he said. I understand his feelings, though. No mate would want to hear anyone saying something inappropriate about their mates, especially when he’s a royal Lycan. I sighed and decided to call Clover. She’d know what to do, for sure.
After a few more minutes, my beautiful mate came in, and, as always, she didn’t knock. Well, she doesn’t have to because she’s my queen. But I know that it wasn’t the case with her. It was because she was used to that. Being the boss she is in human life, I guess habits are really hard to break.
“What is it about?” she asked and sat on the chair opposite mine.
“Why are you sitting there?” I asked,
“Where else will I sit but here,” she replied,
“My lap, Clover. Always sit on my lap, especially when it was just the two of us,” I said in a serious voice.
“We’re going to talk, and that will not happen if I am going to do what you want. Now, tell me what this is all about because I am hungry, and Mia cooked my favorite dish.” fu***** stubborn. I got up, scooped her from her seat, and went back to my chair.
“Now, this is better,” I told her, smiling, but she rolled her eyes at me, and I chuckled internally. She’s beautiful when she does that, especially when I am eating her pu**y. “You’re going to eat without me?” I asked. Mia’s cooking skills are superb, so I understand her. We even had our meals together because Sheena is just like my mate. She only loves to eat. And yes, Charles bragged about it so much, and we couldn’t say anything about it either.
“I don’t need to invite you, and you know that,” she replied. Lately, she has been really sweet to me, and I was on cloud nine because of that. Just like now, she was caressing my face, and I could feel her warmth.
So I took her hands and kissed them to my lips. She always smiles very sweetly whenever I do that, and when I ask her why, she says, ‘I feel that you really love me. It has no malice, just showing me how much you love me.’
“So, why am I really here, my king?” She asked again,
“I want to ask what you think of Lica, my queen,” I answered. Oh, she likes that too.
“Did Lance talk to you about her?” I nodded. It was very obvious. “I myself want to wring that bitch’s neck,” she continued, which made me crease my forehead and give her a warning look. “But I know that I can’t do that, and Sheena didn’t want that as well. But don’t bother yourself with Lica because I am sure that our beta female will surely do something about her.”
“It’s what I thought too, but you know, Lance.”
“Yeah, he’s impatient and overprotective. You have to always remind him. We didn’t want to cause trouble to any packs.”
“You’re thinking like a queen.”
“I am queen.” She replied confidently. I fall in love with her when she’s full of herself. It’s not the kind of fullness that was annoying. It was cute and very admirable. I often heard everyone in the palace saying how much they wanted to be like her. They get intimidated by her, but they can approach her easily. I can’t imagine how she could do that.
I got up with her in my arms and heard her laughter, which was already music to my ears. Then she turned serious and held my face with both her hands. “Will I seem greedy if I make you mine?” She asked, which made me confused. I am her, and she’s mine.
“What’s wrong, my love?”
“I know that you are mated to Clover, and I am like a parasite that inhabits her body. This body knows that you’re hers. That’s why this heart is beating for you.” She answered, “I promised I am not going to let myself fall for any man, and I believe that brains are placed higher than our hearts, so we will be able to think and use it whenever necessary.” She continued and paused for a moment. She exhaled deeply and added, “What am I supposed to do when, no matter how confused I am, my brain starts to agree with my heart?”
Wait, is she confessing her feelings now?
