KING'S MATE

Before The Wedding Part 2

Right what I told Maggie about Nickolas's reaction. He was furious, maybe more than that when seen from his expression when he saw me. I could feel the sharp gaze that was wielding at me

Nickolas's face looks very flat and cold. He watched me like an eagle watching his prey. His hand which was seen holding Britanny hand on the dining table also tightened, because I could see the expression of the woman who winced in pain or her attempt to release Nickolas's hand.

I looked down and stared closely at my dinner. Alpha Drake was talking quietly with Elder Rowin before he threw his gaze at me and commented, "My King. Can I borrow Gween for one night?" my face turned pale and my head suddenly lifted and looked at Alpha Drake in surprise. I can see Alpha Drake staring at me hungry, the same as other men in the dining hall.

Nickolas's jaw hardened and answered dryly, "sure. Why not?" my eyes are fully rounded and staring at Nickolas in disbelief. Both Josh and Maggie fell silent. Even Edmund chose to cut his food with a knife.

The woman smiled gracefully and said, "Dad, do you want to be accompanied by a woman like that?"

I lowered my head and squeezed my dress as hard as possible. Trying to hold back tears so they don't fall on my cheeks. I will never show them my tears. I'm not a weak woman, even though I'm just an ordinary person.

I don't know where I got the courage from, I looked up and looked at Alpha Drake defiantly. "If you want a prostitute, you should go to a prostitution house."

Alpha Drake gritted his teeth because he didn't like hearing my comment, which he said was insulting. I snorted and smiled contentedly seeing that. My eyes glanced at Maggie and she gave me a thumbs up.

Elder Rowin stopped our debate by saying, "Stop it. It's a dinner. So I remind you all. Understand?"

Everyone fell silent. I can see Nickolas giving me a warning look. His lips thinned and his forehead wrinkled faintly. Nickolas stood up and cleared his throat softly. Instantly all eyes immediately fixed on Nickolas.

In Nickolas's hand there was a crystal glass filled with red wine and his eyes looked closely at the woman. Nickolas looked back at everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to this dinner. Me and also Britanny are very happy with your presence here as a form of our support"

Everyone nodded happily. Nickolas extended his hand to the woman.

The woman immediately accepted it and stood up from the chair. They smiled happily at each other, Nickolas kissed the back of the woman's hand and murmured, "we want to announce something to you guys"

"What is that My King?" asked Elder Rowin. I could see the proud and happy gaze that Alpha Drake was throwing at his daughter.

Nickolas smiled a little and said, "right now, my prospective Queen is pregnant with my heir" as soon as my heart stopped beating.

It felt like all my blood just receded and my hands shook violently. I wonder what pushed me, I stood up and attacked the woman.

Suddenly, my eyes darkened and my hands moved to beat her repeatedly. I kept yelling 'cheap woman' and 'b***h' at her. My tears flowed freely and soaked my face.

My hand grabbed and clawed at her beautiful face. While that woman just screamed and didn't try to fight me. There was a look of resistance and victory that she gave me, making my body ignited more emotionally.

Everyone tried to keep me away from her, but I continued to brush aside those who tried to keep me away from her. Nickolas growled and shouted. "STOP!"

Instantly my body stopped moving because the tone of the command given by Nickolas was very strong. Everyone looked down and showed their necks to Nickolas as a sign of loyalty. While I just stood up while adjusting my hunting breath.

My face must have been very red beyond the boiled crab and my makeup was falling apart. I cry in silence. Slowly my head looked up and looked at Nickolas with a look of hurt and hate.

"Don't stop me from leaving here. I hate you," I hissed at Nickolas. I turned and walked away from the dining hall with hatred that slowly appeared in the recesses of my heart.

I grabbed the cellphone from the clutch and made a one-way ticket to New York. Don't care about all the documents I need, because I want to immediately step out of this hell and live a normal life.

"Gween! Wait!" Maggie's voice echoed in the hallway of the castle made me stop. I took a breath and quickly wiped my tears that were flowing with my hands.

Slowly I turn around and see my best friend looking at me sadly. "I'm sorry Gween"

I smiled and shook my head, "It's not your fault Maggie. Indeed, this is all my destiny"

Maggie sighed and hugged my fragile body. Now I feel tired because my energy is drained. "You deserve to be happy Gween"

I laughed softly and groaned softly, "if you think I should be happy with that man, no thanks." Maggie pulled away and looked at me sadly.

She cleared her throat softly and stared at me for a few moments. After that she asked me, "are you still interested in going to club?"

I nodded my head, "but my appearance is very messy. Are you sure?"

Maggie chuckled and said, "leave it all to me" I smiled a little at his energetic behavior. Maggie put her arm around my shoulder, then we walked out of the castle together. "You were great."

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"For an ordinary human size, you can make Britanny's face battered like that. I'm sure she was crying bemoaning her face"

I snorted and said, "She is a werewolf, a wound like that will last for only an hour, after that her face will return smooth"

Maggie just kept quiet, then her mouth opened and commented, "So what's your next step?"

"I'm going back to New York. You will be back tomorrow too right? So we can go together. I have booked a plane ticket"

"What --- but, Gween you are really needed here," Maggie murmured sadly as she stopped and took her hand off my shoulder. She faced me. Her green eyes looked at me wistfully, "You mean a lot here."

I shook my head and said, "Never mind. I don't want to discuss it."

We both fell silent and decided not to bring it up anymore. I walked to the car followed by Maggie.

But what we didn't know was someone else who was listening to our conversation.

And that person is not happy with what he just heard.

***

"I didn't expect that you would find this place Magg" I murmured while looking at the bright neon lights.

"Well, you know me, right? Now let's go in and spend the night tonight partying!"

I laughed and together we entered a club which was already crowded even though it wasn't too late, but our steps stopped when someone stood up and prevented us from entering. "Jax, what are you doing here?" asked Maggie confused.

I just kept quiet and looked at Jax with a probing look. "I'm here to watch over you guys"

"Watching us? Or watching me?" I asked flatly. My eyes narrowed and I noticed Jaxon's expression. Then my eyes turned towards the BMW car parked near the sidewalk. "How did you know we were here?"

Jax only showed his ears and I groaned in disgust. "When?"

"Edmund's mansion"

"Are you there too?"

"Sure, you think?"

I snorted and tried to push Jax's big body, but my efforts didn't work until I frowned. "How about we go to the bar? I know a good bar around here"

Maggie and I looked at each other. We communicate through our eyes and nod our heads together. "So you all agree with my idea?"

I started counting, 1 ... 2 ... 3 ...

Instantly me and Maggie together ran through Jax.

We immediately cheered when we were inside the club until the doorman who stood by the door looked at us in confusion.

Maggie and I walked straight to the bar. I immediately ordered a drink as well as Maggie. We laughed and when the bartender who served us put down eight shot glasses filled with alcohol, Maggie and I immediately drank them.

In the third step, I started feeling tipsy, so I decided to stop. It feels like I am free and all the burden that is on my shoulders is gone.

I got up from the bench screaming at Maggie , "Let's dance!" Maggie nodded her head and we ran to the dance floor together. Occasionally bumping into people and giggling with amusement at their annoyed expressions.

After finally Maggie and I were in the middle of the dance floor, we began to shake our hips to the music.

This is life!

***

My eyes slowly opened and the sound of moans came out of my lips when I felt the sunlight entering through the gap of the dazzling curtain. My head feels throbbing and I don't feel like waking up from the bed.

I slowly got up from my sleeping position and widened my view throughout the room. My forehead frowned as a familiar atmosphere welcomed me.

Hah? When I return?

And even more surprising, I was not in the room in Edmund's mansion, but the room I was staying in Nickolas mansion.

Automatically my eyes widened wide and immediately parted the blanket. I walked to the window to make sure my guess wasn't wrong. When the curtains open, direct sunlight burst in and change the dark atmosphere that filled the room changed to bright.

I groaned when my head hurt again. Fortunately, I didn't feel a hangover, just an incredible headache. If that happens I will miss the plane ---

Instantly I remembered about my flight schedule. My eyes immediately directed to the digital clock above the nightstand and breathe freely. The clock was still eight o'clock in the morning while my flight was ten o'clock.

I yawned and walked toward the bathroom to freshen up, but immediately discouraged when I saw my cell phone lying on a glass table.

Whether it's instinct or not, I feel something is strange. Soon I grabbed my cellphone and checked its contents. Everything looks fine, but only one ----

Instantly my face turns red with anger. I gritted my teeth when I saw that the ticket I ordered was in a canceled status.

And it seems like I know who this is doing.

***

After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I walked down to look for someone who had messed up my plan.

I paused and thought, he must have gone to the main castle in preparation for his wedding which will take place at one in the afternoon, but immediately dismissed the thought and thought positively. Sure enough, my positive thoughts didn't disappoint. When I entered the dining room, the man I was looking for was sitting relaxed while drinking his coffee.

He was only wearing a white shirt and gray tie. The suit that usually completes the perfect appearance of this man, somewhere. "Good morning," he said when he realized my presence. His eyes didn't move at all from the breakfast plate in front of him.

I stomped and walked toward him with wide steps, "are you the one who canceled my flight Nickolas?"

"Sit Gween. Judy has prepared breakfast for you," I just kept quiet and chose to fold my arms over my chest. Nickolas sighed and closed his eyes. "Gween. Sit down now!"

"What am I? Your dog? Tell me Nickolas, did you cancel my flight?" Nickolas immediately slammed the tableware he was holding and threw the napkin on the table. He stood up and gripped my hand tightly, "yes, I canceled it. I told you you won't be able to leave from here Gween because you are mine, but you plan to leave me instead"

"I didn't expect you to be a greedy man, Nickolas" I growled as I tried to release the grip of his hand. Nickolas just grinned and leaned his face towards me. His gray eyes looked at me intensely.

"Am I greedy? Right, I am indeed a greedy man if it's related to you Gween" Nickolas didn't take his eyes from me, his hand grip strengthened and he again said "trim the dining table, it seems my queen is not in the mood to eat right now" to the butler and the servant who stand in the corner of the room.

After that he jerked my hand and leaned over. I screamed in surprise when my body was placed on his shoulders and lifted like a sack of rice. "Nickolas! Put me down right now!"

"Jaxon, I want you to get the car ready in fifteen minutes. Looks like I have to do something before I go."

"Nickolas!" I protest. I raised my head and saw Jax standing there with a mysterious smile towards me. He waved his hand as if he was mocking me. "Nickolas! Put me down now too, my head is getting dizzy"

Nickolas just silent ignored my sentence. The steps are so wide towards the room who knows what because I can not see the direction of his destination.

A few turns and stairs Nickolas passed, he didn't feel tired or complained because of the burden on my body, but I felt a little happy because it could be in contact with Nickolas. Keywords, a little.

No Gween! You can't feel happy even if it's just a little! He hurt you, remember? My mind said in a passionate tone.

I immediately remembered what happened yesterday and rebelled again. "Nickolas put down ---- aaahhh !!" I shouted loudly when my body was thrown heartlessly by Nickolas to ---- the bed?

I immediately sat down and looked around the room. "Why did you take me to your room?"

Nickolas grabs the suit that is on the sofa and wears it. Once it was perfect, Nickolas walked over to the walk-in closet and looked for something, whatever that was because I could hear noise from there.

A few minutes later he returned with a ... Rope? "what would you do?" I asked, staring at the rope in his hand in horror.

Nickolas walked over to me. A wide grin adorned his adonis face. His hand reached out and grabbed my ankle, pulling me until I lay down and he sat down with a heavy weight. "Nickolas!" I shouted in surprise.

Nickolas didn't say anything and took my hands. He glanced at me briefly before doing something I didn't expect he would do.

Nickolas tied my hands to the rope and he tied the rope to the head of the bed. My eyes are fully rounded when Nickolas's gray eyes flash with anger. "I told you not to refute my words, right?"

"Nick----"

"I told you to change your clothes and you disobeyed"

"Nickolas, I ----"

"And I have to see you in the club while dancing with some jerk. Didn't realize that your body was touched by that bastard man"

"Nickolas, I'm not ----"

"You know that I am a man who always does what I say, right? I'm also a very territorial man with something valuable in my life." I gulped when I realized what he was going to do. "same as for this one"

Breet

My body trembled when Nickolas tore my clothes slowly. It sounds so deafening my ears. I tried to rebel and begged Nickolas to stop what he was doing.

Breet

"You made me do this Gween" My tears slowly dripped and when my shirt was completely ripped off, Nickolas immediately threw the disfigured shirt to the floor. "Do you know how I felt when Alpha Drake asked me that last night?"

I sobbed and shook my head. "I feel like I want to lung at him and pull out his heart with my own two hands," Nickolas muttered so cold and sharp that it sent a chill to my entire body.

I curse myself in my heart. I should have changed my clothes before going down, but unfortunately my mind was only focused on canceling my plane ticket to forget the fact that I disobeyed Nickolas's words.

A knock on the door came and Nickolas immediately covered me with a blanket. He walked to the door and opened it. "What is wrong?"

"Alpha, Beta Jaxon said that the car is ready and he is waiting for you"

"OK, I'll be right down," Nickolas muttered, then closed the door again with a loud slam. I tried to untie the rope that held my hands together, but it was only in vain.

Nickolas walked over to me and sat on the side of the bed. His hand reached out and stroked my waist with slow movements. My body immediately trembled when I felt his touch. "I'm going to give your punishment after this is over. Take care baby"

Nickolas kissed my forehead and lips briefly before leaving the room.

"NICKOLAS ANDONOV!!"
