Chapter: 35

“You said the guests arrived at 9AM?” I asked Alexa without turning my gaze from the door.

“Yes, my queen, they have started the meeting since morning” Was her confirmation and I raised my hand to watch it’s 11 O’clock.

Hmm…

I was just starting to look around for the book I wanted when I glanced over and saw the waiter bringing in a trolley filled with food and drinks.

“From the king” I heard the waiter inform Alexa who immediately tasted one by one the food and drinks provided, yes, since the incident of giving poison to me, Alexa and El took turns to taste the food and drinks given to me as a preventive effort so that the previous bad incident did not happen again.

I grabbed one of the older looking books in the corner hidden from the other, the title nothing like I’d ever seen or heard of before, ‘The Descent of the Lords’ grabbing it out of its place on the shelf I made my way carefully to the armchair along with 5 other huge books, El who notice me bringing the books, quickly walk toward me and grab the books from my hands.

“Thank you” I breathe with a smile and she nods her head in acknowledgement.

Settling down I place the last book on my lap but before I could open in, Alexa shove a cup of tea with a bread toward me “Eat before you lost into other world” I can’t help but chuckle in amusement, she speak like she know how I usually lost myself when I’m reading.

Wait a minute…

“Alexa, you said the king started preparing everything for me 5 years ago❞ I started and saw she raise an eyebrow “Did you.. Have you started becoming my guards since then?” I voiced my suspicions and was wide-eyed with shock when I saw her nodding.

“He has to make sure nothing happens to you while you’re in the human world” She stated and I found other things that surprised me about him.

I sigh heavily, having lost my focus and the book because finding another truth about the man who rejected me 5 years ago only to know he acts differently.

I have to find the truth…

I hadn’t particularly enjoyed learning of werewolf history in the past, but perhaps now it would be different. I want to learn more about him, the king. There were no significant records of him in the most historical books but surely his library has something.

Rolf Titus Eberulf Osmund, known to all as the Alpha King, the most powerful king that ever have, his strength is more like a Lycan than like the average werewolf we knew.

Lycan?

I scan my eyes over the subtitles of chapters, flipping through it distractedly. Flipping another page my eyes narrow as I see the frayed remains of pages that have clearly been ripped from their rightful place.

Flattening my lap, I flatten the ripped fragments of paper left, blinking in confusion as I see fragments of what would seem like ‘Rolf’ names along with other words that I can’t describe.

Someone seems doesn’t want people to read what’s written here, I thought and placed a bookmark before grabbing another book.

Book after book I found nothing, then I grabbed the first book ‘The Descent of the Lords’ and re-read it again until the last page before it was ripped.

But I have found something more about werewolves, about their urge to comfort an upset mate even though it could be overwhelming and also overbearingly protective, but it’s part of a male werewolf’s primal instinct.

I regret that I never listened carefully to the lesson about werewolves because I didn’t think it was important.

Now I’m being fooled, I don’t even know how to pronounce rejection so I swallowed what he said 5 years ago, if I knew, I would have immediately understood that there was something that made him say that not the real rejection words.

I decide to find another book and go to the back only to get shocked.

My eyes widened in awe at the countless shelves that lined the walls, holding thousands of books. There was also a ladder leaned against one of the furthest walls to allow access to even the highest shelves of the library.
