Chapter 39
“Alex… I don’t want to burden you.” Althea said, she shook her head. The thought of her to be a mistress was already too much for Alex, he would get trouble for that, let alone to make her a queen.
“Why? Why you should be a burden for me when you are the only light for my day?” Alex cupped her face and kissed her again, but then he pulled away. “Did you accept my kiss because you only wanted to please me? As if this is a repayment for all I have done for you?”
Althea didn’t answer that, but her silent was enough for Alex to know what was in her mind. He growled.
“I don’t want you to repay me with your body, Althea.” Alex stood up. “I will give you three days to think about this.”
Alex glanced at the crib and then walked over. He caressed Jasmine’s check and kissed her forehead gently, so he wouldn’t wake the baby up.
“Whatever your answer, I will not abandon you and the baby. I love Jasmine. I will take a full responsibility on her.” He meant what he said. “But, I want you to know that you are not a burden, Althea. You are the joy for my life. You are the one, who pulled me out of the darkness. I will be honor if you let me entered your life and spent the rest of it with you. I meant it.”
Alex leaned over and kissed her forehead before he walked away from there.
He closed the door behind him softly and the room fell very quiet, it left Althea with a lot of questions that swarmed in her head
Did she want him?
Althea didn’t know, but despite of their status and their current situation, she would say that she loved to be in his presence. She loved to spend time with him, she loved to be with him.
But, adding to their status and condition, she was not sure with the answer.
Meanwhile, after Alex left Althea’s bedroom, he immediately went to the dungeon. He was going to settle score with Killian. He was going to know how deranged that man was and what kind of trauma and fear that he had instilled in Althea for her to be so scared like that.
The sight of her having a little breakdown earlier would be forever etched in his mind.
However, when he reached the dungeon, his beta approached him and told him that someone had taken him out from the dungeon.
“Who the hell dare to take my prisoner out of the dungeon?” Alex felt his blood boiled with rage, but before he heard the name, he knew who it was immediately.
“Elder Sanders,” Northern said.
The royal g**a knew the battle at the court would start now when elder Sanders had laid his eyes on Killian and helped him to get out of the dungeon.
“Erick Sanders, Elder Sander said. “But, you can call me Elder Sanders.”
Killian stared at the old man before him and then sat down across from him. This man had gotten him out of the dungeon and now he was sitting in his coach, inside his room with a fine alcohol in front of him.
If this man could get him out of the king’s claw, he must be someone with power in this mainland, someone that he exactly needed at time like this.
“So, tell me, who you are and what you relationship with that lady?” Elder Sanders leaned his back against the coach, a glass of wine in his hand, he looked very comfortable in his own space and this made Killian wondered what the end goal of this man.
“She is my mate and the baby is mine.” Killian replied.
“That’s not how you answered the question, alpha Killian. I want to hear the full story, the twist and turn and everything in between that led you to this moment.”
Alpha Killian gritted his teeth, he held himself back from growling at this man, because he knew very well, it wouldn’t benefit him.
As much as he hated to admit this, this man could get him out of this situation and helped him to get his mate and his baby back.
Therefore, it was his best interest to keep this man by his side in order to level with the king-
“It will be a long story.”
“Don’t worry, I have all day to hear that.”
It was close to midnight, but the man didn’t even give the courtesy for the alpha to rest, but then, even if he did give him that, Killian didn’t think that he would be able to close his eyes, knowing that Althea and his baby were nearby.
Baby Jasmine. He wanted to hold her…
“Fine.” Killian then started.
“Alex, you know that this is not a good idea, I don’t think it is right for you to give up everything and turn the world upside down just because of your little infatuation to that woman.” Greyson didn’t know what to say anymore and his words came out a little bit harsher than he intended to, which regarded him with a nasty glare from the king.
“A little bit infatuation, that’s what you called that?” Alex narrowed his eyes, he was not impressed at all with the way they described his feeling toward Althea.
This was not a little infatuation, this was an obsession. The maddest obsession for him to ruin his court for her.
“I lost everything?” Alex gave a challenging look at his g**a and Norther needed to step in before the king kicked Greyson’s a** “I have everything. They have been wanting to take me down from the throne and created a trouble now I will give them enough trouble to justify their action.”
“You are insane, Alexander.” Norther and Greyson shook their head. “Where are you going?”
with me.
Alex didn’t answer that.
