Mated To Alpha Gregory

Adams’ POV

It was only a matter of time before word spread that the new Luna of Green Forest pack was captured in my pack. Everyone would believe it was my order and would scold me directly, not knowing I didn’t order it.

But it didn’t matter, I would take my wife’s side any day. It wouldn’t take long before Raider came rushing to challenge me over keeping his wife in custody.

My gaze met Lilith’s and I could tell from the look on her face that she was shocked- truth is, everyone was.

“Do you know what caused his death?” I shifted my gaze to Ronan, who stood straight.

“The cause of his death is not known, but considering the state he was in some weeks ago, the whole setup seems suspicious.”

I concentrated my attention on the floor, watching tiny ants move slowly all around me. I raised up my head to say something, but he cut me short, he must have known what I wanted to say.

“It is best to stay out of issues concerning their pack, my king, considering the strained relationship the queen has with them.”

I reasoned with what he said and decided to heed his advice. “Release Cassandra, make sure she gets back home safely.” It was better having friends than foes.

Not like Raider being Alpha meant he would become my friend, but avoiding a war over something so small was mandatory. Especially since my brothers were still planning to take over the throne from me.

I looked at Lilith and couldn’t tell if she was hurt by my decision. She looked at me and smiled, a smile which set my heart ablaze. I knew she wanted revenge, which was probably why she had Cassandra arrested in the first place.

But all that should be put away now, as we were no longer dealing with an Alpha’s son and his wife, we were now dealing with an Alpha and his Luna.

If the council also got to know about it, it could spark agitations and turn into a blown out war, one I had been trying to avoid as much as possible.

Although some of the men in the council served me, they were secretly loyal to Alpha Rivers. Now that he was dead, there was every possibility that they’d swear their loyalty to his son.

I also couldn’t get off the feeling that Ben had a hand in all that was happening. His closeness to Lilith had been alarming, at this stage- it was better to be safe than sorry.

Lilith began to walk into the mansion and I followed behind immediately. I delayed speaking till we got into our room. “You aren’t angry at my decision, are you? I did it s…”

“I understand why you did it. I’m not blind to all that is happening. Alpha Rivers death, Raider becoming Alpha amidst all… I get it. You are worried and concerned about my safety, but I assure you, I’ll be fine. She held my hands in hers and moved closer to me, bridging the gap that stood between us.

The truth is, aside from being the Alpha king of the pack, I was just like every other man, except that the love I had for her was a force which made me vulnerable around her.

I ended up staring into her eyes, so much so, every other thing in the room disappeared.

“There are two things which can make a person drown. Do you know what they are?” I moved my right hand to her face and grazed her cheeks softly with it.

“Uh…” she gasped, surprised by my question. She was probably wondering what sort of man I was.

My left hand suddenly developed a mind of its own and held her waist, bringing her closer than before to me.

“I don’t know… water?” Her lips curled up as I felt her hands move around my neck.

“And?”

“I really don’t know, tell me already and stop the teasing.” Her white teeth shone brightly like a diamond exposed to sunlight. The sound of the giggle which escaped her lips filled my heart with joy and I melted inside me.

“Your eyes, Lilith… your eyes.”

She no longer chuckled as her gaze became serious. I would have thought she hated my words due to how fast she removed her hands from my neck, but smiled when I saw what she did next.

She covered her cheeks with her hands to hide the blush which settled in her and I smiled inwardly, knowing just how much my words had an effect on her.

I turned to go, suddenly remembering I had something important as urgent I should get to. “I’ll see you tonight, my love, at dinner. There are some things which require my urgent attention. Take care of yourself till then.

I had hardly taken two steps when I felt her hands in mine, stopping me from moving forward. The grip was firm, it was almost impossible to break away from.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Do you have to go?” She pouted her lips stubbornly, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at her expression. I turned slowly and almost burst out in laughter at the woman before me.

She looked like a jealous wife who wouldn’t let her husband go out, fearing he would meet another woman.

“If I don’t go now, matters could escalate more than they are now. I promise to get back early, just for you, my love.” I leaned closer and gave her a peck in her cheeks.

She didn’t flinch or move or refuse, she just stood smiling sheepishly. I turned to go again when she dragged me back. It all happened so fast, the next thing I felt was her lips on mine.

The heat was so high that I couldn’t take it anymore. I had been waiting for her to say yes, to finally give herself to me. Everything about her actions screamed yes right now, and I wouldn’t wait another second to have her- to claim her as mine.

I deepened the kiss, swallowing her lips with mine and before lifting her up to take her to the bed. My wolf danced crazily inside me and was on the verge of coming out when a loud knock on the door interrupted.

I would have ignored it and continued if not for the voice I heard. It was Ronan’s and it seemed urgent.

“My lord, your attention is needed in the courtyard at once. We just caught a spy, sneaking out of your office.”
