Mated To Alpha Gregory

Adams’ POV

The moment Ronan informed me that Raider was in my pack, and he wanted to see me urgently, I jumped off my bed with every trace of sleep vanishing from my eyes.

What exactly did he want?

As the cold water splashed on my body from the shower, I knew the day was going to be more crazy than normal.

I walked down the stairs, followed closely by Ronan and another guard, and met Raider sitting by the dining table in a discussion with my brothers.

Was he here because of Cassandra? She had been released already, and I made sure no harm came to her. For someone whose father just died, didn’t he have a lot of work to do in his pack?

“Your highness!” They all said in unison as they stood up except Raoul, who seemed indifferent.

Ronan’s hands had curled into a fist, and he was about to walk up to him to scold him when I put my hands on his, making him stop in his tracks.

Raoul was intentionally looking for trouble, and I wasn’t ready to give him any of that this morning.

“I heard your father, Alpha Rivers, died yesterday. I’m sorry I didn’t send my Condolences early, I was quite busy.” A chair was brought out by Ronan and I sat at the head of the table.

“I understand my King, being the Alpha king of this pack and every other one is quite tasking. Which is why the most competent men are always the ones serving. I believe you are competent for the job, aren’t you?”

There was this look of sarcasm on his face as he said those words. I caught sight of my brothers chuckling, and it angered me, but I was not going to fall for his trap this morning. That was exactly what they wanted from me.

Ronan was on the verge of losing it, but I looked at him from the corner of my eye, making him calm down a bit.

“What brings you to my pack this morning, Raider? It’s not like there are no issues at hand which you need to see to in your pack. What Alpha leaves the affairs of his pack and people and roams about like a stray dog?”

He frowned at my statement and wanted to say something but stopped when he saw the fierce look on my face and on that of Ronan’s.

“I came to give you this.” He stood up and handed me something that looked like an invitation card. Rather than collect it from him, I motioned for him to stop.

“Read the contents of the card to me, Raider, or is it too much work for you to do?”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

He was shocked by my statement, but the shock was soon replaced by a weird smug.

“Reading it wouldn’t be necessary, my king, I know what is in… ”

“Read it, word for word, now!” This little game of ours was getting interesting, and I was willing to continue with it for as long as possible.

He gulped, then opened the card. “This is to invite the Alpha king and his Luna Queen and every member of the royal household to the coronation ceremony of Raider Smith as the next Alpha of Green-forest pack, stated to be held in the next three days at midnight under the full moonlight.

“So you came all the way from your pack to hand me a piece of paper? What sort of jobless Alpha are you?” By now I was fuming with anger and there was no telling what I would do to him.

“You need to calm down brother,” Ben’s voice broke through, and I diverted my gaze towards him. “It’s too early in the morning for all these emotions, let’s eat first.”

I wanted to lash at him, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I may dislike him, but he was my elder brother, and he was right, it was too early to get angry.

The maids began to serve the food till the long dining table was filled up. I saw Cara passing by, then called her. She was probably going to see Lilith, and it made me realize just how much I had missed my wife.

“My king.” She bowed her head the moment she got to my side and I whispered into her ears.

“Get the queen down for breakfast.”

After she left, I caught sight of Raoul eating without a care in the world and a sudden anger rushed through me as I remembered what happened between us the night before.

Flashback:

“Why were you spying on my wife through the keyhole of her door? Don’t you know she is your queen?”

“She is not my queen and neither are you my king, Adam. And you said I was spying uhn. You should be grateful to me.”

“Grateful to you? For what?

“For saving the life of your beloved wife and helping her get to her room safely while you stay in your room being the fake king you are. Who knows what you did to her that made her leave your room in such a way?

His words cut deep into me and all I wanted to do was hit his head at least seventy times on the wall in seven minutes. He was so confident and didn’t look or feel bothered by my words or the fact that I was losing my patience.

I closed my eyes and waited for a while to calm down before speaking again. “What happened and why are you here at this time of the night?”

He continued staring at me with his eyes popping out of his eye socket and his veins visible on his neck.

“I was walking down the hall when I heard the banging sound of the door. That was when I saw her. I could have ignored her since it wasn’t my business, but she was crying, Adam, crying! I stopped and continued watching her till suddenly, she began to move from side to side like a drunk woman, clutching at her chest like she was in severe pain. I got curious and decided to follow her before she passed out. If I was not there, she would be lying on the cold floor, probably with an injury on her head. Yet, you accuse me of spying on her rather than thank me for saving her, shame on you.”
