Chapter: 17

“Huh? Why is it sad?” I asked.

He smiled back as he patted my back and we heard a loud growl, even I who have limited hearing, unlike werewolves who can definitely hear it because their hearing is very sensitive, coming from behind which made us look over to see my two bodyguards staring hatefully at Dr. Malik’s hand on my back.

But I was surprised to hear a small laughter coming from the old man beside me.

“I’m sure the Alpha king won’t let you work yourself too tired, dear” He replied softly and I let out a long sigh because we all know how protective mates are of their partners, an Alpha is already very protective let alone this Alpha king

“It’s late, I’m sure there must be someone waiting for you” Dr. Malik’s words woke me from my reverie and I immediately looked at the clock on the wall that showed 10 p.m. “Thank you for today, Gwen, it was a pleasure working with you” He continued as he walked towards his room at the end.

“Thank you for today Dr. Malik” I replied in a slightly tight voice and watched him wave goodbye as he walked away.

Tap. Tap…Two loud steps signaled the two women approaching and I turned to see that they had my bag and jacket in their hands.

“We’re late, my queen, the king is waiting for you” Alexa spoke as she helped me put on my jacket.

“I forgot you guys were here” I exclaimed.

“We won’t leave unless we die, my queen” El replied seriously and made me almost groan in frustration when I heard it.

Seriously?!

They walked over and directed me to the brand-new red Mazda 8 parked at the end of the parking lot, where I had parked my father’s car earlier.

I should have known that the king would be here with something.

“Where’s my father’s Honda?*

Alexa opened the door for me as she said, “Alpha Blake’s Honda has been returned to the garage at his house because we didn’t think it was safe enough for you, my queen.”

We…

I bite my lower lip because it’s hard to be angry when you get a car this good.

D*mn it!

I lost because of the car!!

I let out another long sigh and there was something I wanted to ask, but would they answer honestly?

“Alexa, El, can I ask you a question?” My curiosity finally won. “Of course, my queen” Alexa replied and El nodded in agreement.

I bit my lip in doubt “What about the woman named… Melissa?” I was sure they could hear her name, even though I whispered it softly.

The stiffness of their bodies and the sudden silence told me that they didn’t expect me to ask that, but I wanted to know the truth.

Alexa let out a long breath “I’m sorry, it’s better for the queen to ask the king” I nodded in understanding because maybe they had been ordered not to talk about it, but it made me even more curious.

Melisa is the woman the king brought 5 years ago, how do I know her name? Because everyone talks about her, her beauty, elegance and how she fits next to the king.
