GoodNovelChapter 106 ---- [ dont care what they think.
I never wanted to be the damn King in the first place.
Ive been trying to hand this role to anyone willing to take it, he replied, pullinginto an embrace.
His affection madeblush slightly, aware of the Alphas discomfort at our public display.
I dont want you to seem like a tyrant, Aldric.
People are afraid of you, which is why they often dont ask for your help, I said, though my intention wasnt to defend these fools but to improve the image of my King.
We'll come.
Thank you for the invitation, I said aloud.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Alpha nodded enthusiastically.
Icould feel his curious glances, though he tried to hide them in Aldrics presence.
He was probably wondering how the coveted, single King ended up with the plainest girl from the harem.
I picked out one of my most beautiful dresses a burgundy and sky-blue gown with off-the-shoulder puffed sleeves, a cinched waist, and a corset that accentuated my chest.
If Twas going to stand out because of my face, I might as well do it with style.
After all, no one here would remember what the scorned little orphan had once looked like.
That dress was from my private collectionmeant for my eyes only, Aldric said, turning to devourwith his gaze as I entered the room.
He was dressed in black as usual, simple yet slightly more elegant than his typical attire At least I'd managed to sneak a few decent pieces into his wardrobe beyond his usual combat basics.
Dont be silly.
The first thing people notice is my face, and they're probably wondering what youre doing with me, I teased, walking toward him as he cto meet me.
He opened his arms and pulledclose to his body.
If anyone stares at you for more than two seconds, I'll rip their eyes out.
And dont even think about criticizing yourself.
These people already annoyenough.
Between them and that horny jackal, Ive had it.
He leaned down to whisper in my ear, Lets get this over with.
I want to cback and tear that sexy dress off youwith my teeth.
Tcouldnt help but smile slightly at his attempt to cheerup.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWe stepped outside, where Celine and the jackaloops, I meant Quinnwere waiting.
Alow, warning growl rumbled in Aldrics chest as we passed the Guardian, who suddenly becvery interested in swatting away an imaginary fly buzzing around his head.
Amused by their childish antics, I walked arm in arm with my Lycan along the cobblestone ---- streets.
Curious eyes peeked at us from behind windows as we made our way love to the Alphas house. I think I passed through this pack a few years ago, just briefly.
It looked better then, Celine commented from behind us.
The Alpha toldthey merged with a larger allied pack.
Apparently, the fusion didnt go well, Aldric replied, makingtense.
Thad a feeling I knew which pack he was referring to, and as if the universe wanted to mock me, am group was waiting for us outside the Alphas housepeople we hadnt seen when we first arrived.
Among them, a woman stood with her back to us, but I recognized her instantly even if a thousand years had passed. I tried to slow my steps, resisting this bitter moment, but it was unavoidable.
We reached them, and the older woman turned, fixingwith a cold, piercing stare. Itwas none other than my ex-mother-in-law, Dorians mother.
