He nodded “Are you okay to go to your parents’ house by yourself?” He asked while stroking my head and still kneeling in front of me.
I smiled “I have Albert, Paul and the others with me, I’ll be fine” I crooned softly but was glad that he understood that I had to visit my mom immediately to find out her condition.
He let out a long sigh before cupping my face gently and leaning closer to his face “Be careful” He said softly which I know must have startled the people around him, their Alpha king is not a man who is being gentle in front of them but I nodded with a soothing smile “You know what will happen to me if something happens to you, take care of yourself, okay?” My eyes looked into his eyes that were looking at me seriously, I knew he meant it, that I meant that much to him.
Unconcerned about the presence of Beta and the Warriors in his study, I kissed my Mate passionately on the lips to show him that I understood and that he mattered to me.

“Drake? Mell? you coming with me?” The next day I was surprised to see Beta with his mate waiting for me in the living room.
They smiled while Mell yawned widely as if she was still very tired which made my two female guards grumble as they looked at her.
Wow, this is going to be fun, Destine said and I nodded in agreement with her words.
Titus is coming with Bert and the castle will be guarded by Harry, the third person after Titus and Drake that I’ve seen today.
“It’s nice to finally meet the queen” he said respectfully and stiffly.
Drake rolled his eyes “He’s the stiffest person after Titus, why am I surrounded by serious people like them anyway?” he muttered and I just laughed softly.
“Hello, Harry, nice to meet you and take care of the castle,” I said and ignored Drake.
Titus walked over and wrapped his arms around me.
“Okay, time to go” Drake commented back before turning to walk with his mate to the car outside.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the beta’s behaviour which was very different from my mate, who was currently staring at his beta with a murderous look of annoyance.
He just sighed before looking back at me “Be careful okay?” He said for the umpteenth time.
I smiled and touched his check “You too, I’d be really sad if you got hurt, you know?” I said spoilt and made him smile contentedly at my words.
Knowing that time was running out and we had to leave soon, Titus cupped my face and kissed me with deep passion as if to show his heart’s objection to parting with me.
I gave him the same attention by returning his passionate kiss with the same passion.
“I love you, Gwen” he says as he pulls back his face and makes me smile with longing for his openness to show his feelings for me publicly.
“Finally… Ugh!” Drake commented as we walked hand in hand out to the car which turned into a moan of pain as Titus hit him hard on the head.
I just shook my head at their behaviour.
We would be travelling in 3 cars, Albert, Frank with Alexa with me, then, Paul and Dee with Drake and Mellisa, the third car contained some of the strongest warriors owned by Titus specifically assigned to protect us all.
They all bowed respectfully as Titus and I passed by, I nodded my head as I remembered them all.
Behind us were more than 15 other cars that were also travelling to other areas.
Titus who will be going with Bert and the other warriors will be travelling around the 8 regions, we will be meeting at my mum’s house as she will also be heading there.
I kissed his cheek before getting into the car and waved goodbye as we set off.
Hope nothing bad happens…
For some reason, I feel like this is a trap’ Destine said, surprising me.
I hope it’s not, I pray…
After half an hour, we moved to the plane that Titus had prepared for us, as we got out of the car I looked at Mellisa who had also been looking at me.
I slowly approached her “Do you feel something strange?” I asked quietly as I continued to walk up to the aircraft.
She just nodded while glancing at me as if to tell me not to talk here.
I picked up the bag that I had told Alexa to bring and gave it to Mellisa who raised a confused eyebrow.
“Your disguise” I said and she opened the bag to find a wig she could use.
Yes, I’m afraid that her face, which is the twin of Morena, can be easily recognised so one way is to disguise herself.
It doesn’t hurt to be more cautious especially in these tense. conditions, where we can’t trust anyone other than our family.
Destine had the idea to make Mellisa unrecognisable, so I quickly asked Alexa to bring some wigs and make-up in different bags when I saw that Mellisa was part of the team that would be visiting my mother.
She smiled in understanding and I just blinked my eyes then sat down on the seat that Alexa had set up next to her.
‘Keep your eyes open and pay attention to your surroundings, recognise your bodyguards and memorise their auras’ were the words Destine emphasised firmly.
A new lesson for me and one that I’m doing because she’s right, I can’t let my guard down.
I must always be vigilant so that nothing happens to me, not only for me, but also for my mate.
“I heard you were coming?” Alice’s text made me smile.
“Yeah, I’ll see you there” I replied briefly, there was no need to ask her about what happened, I’d be able to see for myself.
News of the visit of the Alpha king and his warriors had already spread and some Alphas breathed a sigh of relief when they were visited by royal warriors in their territory who would help to protect their parameters.
From a distance, some of the rogue spies noticed that many vehicles from the royal territory began to exit their parameters and head in different directions to different places.
Without knowing who and what was inside, they divided the team to follow the direction of these vehicles from afar and undetected after they put something under the road, trying to hurt them.
They knew the strength of the Alpha king’s warriors so they tried to ambush them.
Only with clever tactics did they believe they could overthrow the king and his guards, but it was no easy feat.
