Chapter 42
It was es right for Althea to laugh, but hearing what Alex said made her wanted to smile, because it was pretty childish and imcture for him to answer the elder like that, but then it served as a humiliation for the elder ton
Even Grryson and Northern uniled, they shook their heads internally for the way Alex replied to it
“Pardon me Elder Sander raised his brows
“You are not allowed to introduce hum, elder Sander. We are here to eat not to introduce our guest.” Alex tilted his head, giving him an innocent smile. “I didn’t even introduce my guests, do you think it’s polite for you to do it when your king said no!
Elder Sanders smiled, but inside he must have wanted to kill the king all over again for his bold respond and the wa embarrassed him.
However, he wouldn’t be Alex’s strong opponent if he would go down without a fight at all and let himself to be humiliated in front of so many people.
“Oh, I am sorry for that, my king. I will not do it Elder Sander glanced at Killian. “I only wanted the alpha here to meet with his mate and daughter, that’s all
It was not an introduction, but that small statement served his purpose to bring Killian here.
Once again, the tension filled the room and this made Althea’s stomach churned. The baby must have felt it, because the next second, Jasmine was crying, her face turned red because of how comfortable she was.
“Let me calm her down, enjoy your food, okay Althea immediately asked for her baby, she took Jasmine from Alex’s arms and then left the dining hall
Alex didn’t stop her, because he knew this was too much for her to handle and she need time to have a refreshing air for
herself.
“Don’t you want to go after her?” Greyson asked, he wondered why Alex didn’t come to see her after they saw Killun immedutely rushed out of the room to approach Althea and the baby. It was obvious that he wanted to talk with her.
After all the affection that Alex showed Althea, it was only right if he chased after that woman now, after all, he had been very adamant to make her his queen.
“No” Alex watched Killian disappeared at the corner, it wouldn’t take long before he reached Althea and cornered her, but even after knowing that, he didn’t have any intention to prevent that from happening
He knew Althea was still not sure with how she felt about the whole situation and with Killian talked to her, it would give her the push that she needed to make a decision
It’s not like Killian could take the two of them away from this palace without his permission. Althea and Jasmine would be safe here.
Nothing would happen to her and the baby
Meanwhile, Killian managed to catch up to Althea and stop her.
“Althea, we need to talk” Killian grabbed her elbow and turned her body around. “You can’t avoid me forever.”
Althea was hyperventilated when she saw Killian, but she tried to remain calm, though it was hard to do so when the nightmare that you kept seeing every night was right before your eyes.
“W- what do you want?” Althea asked, she hated herself for stuttering, but her heart was beating in her ears
She knew that she couldn’t be with hum, not now, not ever. The sight of him alone made her body felt unwell. She wanted to scream for him not to touch her, but then she remembered the last time when she screamed at him, he slapped her so hard.
She remembered all the pain that he put her through and what kind of degrading words that he kept saying to her.
She would be doomed if she had to go back with him.
She would choose all kind of hardship as long as she didn’t need to deal with him.
“I want to see the baby,” Killian could see the fear in her eyes and he hated himself for the fact that he was the one, who had instilled that fear to her. “I want to see our baby. let me see her.
“She is not your baby!” Althea said sternly, she wriggled her hand from his grab, but his hold was too strong for her to break free easily, in fact, Killian tightened his grip, so she couldn’t go anywhere.
“She is my baby, Althea. I know it.
Althea bit her lip. “You don’t have any right to call her your baby after what you have put me through.”
Killian’s eyes darkened. “I know I have done it wrong. I will make it up to you once we returned to the pack.”
“What made you think that I want to go back with you? Not in a million years I want to go back with you you. Please,. leave me alone. You have Willow now, you can live happily ever after with her.”
Of near
“No, I want you and our child. I don’t want her.”
Althea must be dreaming, because she could hear the desperation in his voice, but still, he was too high and his ego was too big to even apologize to her for what he had done.
“So, here you are.. taking a pick?” Althea didn’t even shy away when she instilled the hatred in her voice. “You are going to pick me now instead of Willow? Because I have your baby?” She laughed, but it didn’t touch her eyes at all “Go back to Willow and make your own baby with her, leave me alone. I don’t want you and now you can’t pick me over her. I am not an option.”
“Althea”
“You can’t beat me up because you liked it and now you wanted to make it right because you wanted it. You have everything in your way, Killian. You are truly despicable.”
