KING'S MATE

The Wedding

King Nickolas Andonov POV

I smiled when I heard Gween's scream from behind the door. Remembering the scenery that I just saw made me feel excited.

How can't I? When my soulmate is lying on my bed with tied hands and her body that is not covered by a piece of yarn --- except for underwear --- makes me tempted to go back inside and enjoy her body.

Unfortunately my little mate is still a virgin and I promise I will treat her gently when I make love to her later. So I have to dismiss my forbidden fantasy for now. I will teach her everything I want to her and after she has mastered it, then I can realize my fantasy.

I took a breath and tried to drive away the memory of Gween in my mind, otherwise I would not be able to focus until causing the failure of all the plans I had arranged so carefully.

I cleared my throat and walked to the front door. During my trip, I was busy focusing my mind to read what was spinning in Gween's head. A smile instantly appeared on my face when I heard her swearing at me with harsh words, even more rude than a pirate.

She's a feisty girl. I muttered to myself. Eros --- or what Gween dubbed as Wolfy shouted his agreement about my judgment of our soulmate.

I stopped and breathed. This moment is the moment that I have been waiting for the most. When I unmasked them all to the public. I felt my chest and felt what had been hanging there.

A necklace.

Yes, this necklace is a protective necklace given by Brian, the wizard King. He gave me this necklace after I asked for help and explained all my problems to him. He immediately agreed to it and gave this necklace as protection and also my shield.

Jax bowed respectfully, but I could see his eyes looking at me with amusement. "Is our queen screaming and cursing you Alpha?"

I shrugged and answered, "as you heard yourself" as I entered the car. Jax immediately closed the door and walked around the car. He got into the wheelchair and started the engine. I looked back to make sure my security team was ready to leave.

"So what do you do, Alpha?" Jax asked as he directed the car out of my private mansion.

I heaved and replied, "just keep my promise to her"

"I see," Jax said curtly.

"Did you prepare everything, Jax?"

Jax nodded and glanced at me in the rearview mirror. "Yes Alpha"

"good," I muttered softly. "let the show begin"

Everyone ran here and there while preparing for the final preparations before the wedding arrived. My feet jerked impatiently because I wanted to finish all this quickly.

Some people approached me to ask about the decorations and others. Of course I answered with half enthusiasm, but they were not aware of it.

Gabriel gave me a signal through hand gestures. I nodded my head and made sure I looked again.

Ten minutes wasn't long, because what followed was the door of the castle hall where the wedding was held open and I walked into the hall.

Everyone immediately bowed their bodies respectfully, but I could feel their gazes pointing at me. After all this is over, I guarantee those who don't agree will get my reply right away.

My footsteps stopped at the end of the altar where Oracle Alyssa stood in her great robe. Her silver hair was styled perfectly and a necklace with a moon pendulum hanging around her neck.

I gave her a fixed look and nodded my head. She was part of the plan and last night after dinner, I explained her role.

Remembering what happened last night made me smile, how Gween brutally attacked Britanny made me feel satisfied and proud of her. I was also very happy to see her reaction like that, even though everything I said was a lie.

I deliberately said that to see Gween's reaction and everything was as I expected. Luckily Britanny is a stupid woman and accepts whatever I say. Unfortunately she is a cunning woman.

Hah! Cunning but stupid.

I need Gween's reaction so everyone knows that the mate bond between I and Gween is so strong that it can make Gween aggressive and brutal. If Gween knew all of these plans, then her reaction would not be as natural as it seemed. Say I'm cruel, but I don't care. If in the end I could have Gween without anyone trying to separate me from her, then I would do the same.

All the guests present began to whisper waiting for my prospective bride to arrive. They are curious about the face of their future Queen.

Sorry, unfortunately their true Queen would be on my bed bound and cursing at me.

I smirked a little.

I would consider her beautiful words as encouragement to finish all this, but my expression immediately turned cloudy as I repeated Gween's conversation with Maggie last night.

After Gween's leaving, I immediately ordered the servant to bring Britanny back to her room. While I went after Gween. Of course I reasoned to give a punishment and they all believed my classic alibi.

My steps followed Gween's scent that was left in the hallway of the castle and immediately stopped when I saw two figures of women who were standing with tired postures.

I can't deny that tonight Gween looks very beautiful, even more beautiful than the model that always accompanies me when attending a gala event in New York. Gween stood as gracefully as the angel Moon Goddess had sent me.

Unfortunately I hate the gaze of a man who looks at Gween as if he is soft meat. I felt jealous fire when one of my warriors openly looked at Gween lustfully.

That's why I told Gween to change her clothes. She really suits the knee-length maroon dress, but what I don't like is how her appearance can attract the attention of many people.

Only I can see that body. Only I can enjoy that body, and only I can praise that body.

My mind wandered when I heard Gween laughing softly and groaning softly, "if you think I should be happy with that man, no thanks." Maggie moved away and looked at Gween sadly.

She cleared her throat softly and watched Gween for a few moments. After that he asked my soulmate, "are you still interested in going to club?"

Gween nodded her head briefly, "but my appearance is very messy. Are you sure?"

I gritted my teeth. Club? Oh no --- I won't let her be touched by the hand of a jerk.

Maggie chuckled and said, "leave it all to me" at once Gween smiled slightly at the behavior of her energetic friend. Maggie put her arm around her shoulders, then they walked out of the castle together. "You were great."

I slowly followed them. I hid behind the darkness. "What do you mean?" Gween 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"

Gween 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"

My hands are tightly clenched. Will she go back to New York? No, I will never allow her to leave. Not while I'm still here. She is mine and I will never lether go.

If necessary I will lock her up in the castle tower and claim her body repeatedly so that she is aware and understands that she is mine.

"What --- but, Gween you are needed here" Maggie muttered sadly. They stopped and Maggie faced Gween. Maggie's face looked so clearly sad, "You mean a lot here."

Yes, I muttered to myself. You mean a lot to me.

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

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

I clenched my fists in remembrance of that. Even I had to see her being touched by the masher man in the club when Edmund and I arrived. I know that those guys can't do bad things to Gween and Maggie because Jax is watching them from a distance, but that doesn't mean I feel happy about it.

Luckily when I brought Gween home, she was already in an unconscious state. So I seized the opportunity by doing what I had to do.

A satisfied smile directly adorned my lips. I can't wait to go home and lie next to my soulmate. Two weeks is too long, even meeting her in a dream isn't enough for me. I want to touch and smell her real. Hear her voice and see her smile.

My mind blew as the music entered my sense of hearing and the door to the hall opened again. All guests stood in unison. They looked back because they wanted to catch a glimpse of the bride's face.

My body immediately turned stiff when the woman who made my relationship with Gween drifted into the altar accompanied by Alpha Drake.

Her face was polished with thick makeup and covered with veils. I vaguely saw her face filled with an expression of satisfaction. Her rose red lips formed a broad smile.

I snorted softly. Surely after all this is done, the mask will open and the true identity will emerge.

Jax gave a pat on my shoulder as a sign of encouragement. I inhale and give everyone a small smile.

Britanny stopped right in front of me. Her hand held her father's hand tightly.

Alpha Drake smiled politely and bowed to me respectfully. He straightened up again and said quietly, "I leave my beloved daughter. Please take good care of her"

I just smiled and accepted Britanny's hand. Alpha Drake moved back while Britanny stood beside me. "I can't wait to be your wife My King," my smile slowly faded and turned towards Britanny.

I lowered my head slightly and whispered in her ear, "I can't wait to finish all this" Britanny smiled broadly and her hands tightened in my hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us together start this ceremony ----" I returned to daydreaming and didn't listen to the words of Oracle Alyssa. My mind focused again on Gween and also the contents of her head.

You arrogant man! Jerk! Just watch out if my hand comes off, I'll finish him with my own hands! I snorted in my heart when I heard Gween's thoughts, then again heard the contents of her head, oh poor Lily ... Surely she really missed me now. Is she looking for me huh? Just be careful, if Edmund abandons or throws her away! I'll kill him later! My forehead frowned faintly. With all my might I hold back my laughter that wants to stomp out.

My soulmate is so expressive today, but I'm grateful that she no longer feels sad or hurt. I prefer her to curse or hit me rather than stay away and avoid.

My heart will always feel cut if I see her looking away from me or choosing to leave when I enter the same room with her. A sigh of breath slid from my lips unconsciously. Jax cleared his throat slowly and suddenly I turned his head. He looked at me and said through telepathy, Alpha focused. If people found out you didn't pay attention to Alysaa they would be suspicious

I blinked and answered, I know, but it was very boring

Jax grinned and responded to my words in a teasing tone, can't wait to get back huh Alpha? I'm sure Luna can't wait to get back at you.

I growled softly and glared at Jax. He shrugged his shoulders and gestured for me to focus forward. I snorted and looked at the oracle Alyssa was glaring at me. "Well, you may stand facing each other" Me and Britanny turned and stood facing each other.

The whole hall turned silent as Alyssa's oracle walked toward us carrying a sacred rope. She tied the rope in our interlocked hands. "Let us begin," she said. Oracle Alyssa turned towards Britanny and asked, "Britanny Drake, do you accept this bond with all your heart? Accept King Nickolas Andonov as your husband and your King?"

"I Do," Britanny answered without thinking twice. I glanced at the ring in the middle finger. The ring stone glowed white and I knew what she was doing.

Oracle Alyssa nodded her head and faced me. She gave me a look that I could understand and she asked, "My King, do you accept this bond with all your heart? Accept Britanny Drake as your wife and queen?"

I close my eyes and say two words that can stir the whole hall, "I Don't" as soon as my eyes open to hear people inhale. They stood and looked at me in disbelief. Whereas Britanny moved back when the sacred rope that bound us suddenly miraculously broke. "Now!"

The hall door was wide open and all the warriors walked in and surrounded the entire hall. They brandished their weapons and were on standby until I gave directions.

A few moments later a figure who became my friend walked in with his big robe.

The Wizard King.

He circled his gaze all over the room like he was scanning. His violet eyes turned black when he stopped at the woman who would become my wife. Brian clapped his hands and walked past the altar. His mouth was seen moving to pronounce something. While I came down from the podium and stood in the middle of the altar, watching Britanny stand alone with trembling body. She tried to run, but it seemed like Brian was using his strength to lock Britanny in place.

I looked sideways and saw Alpha Drake being ambushed by my best warriors. He also tried to rebel, but his efforts were only in vain because the strength of his Alphabet wasn't comparable to the strength of the four warriors who held it.

Likewise the Elders, they were surrounded by warriors according to my orders. I could see through the corner of my eye that they were looking at me unhappily, but didn't say anything, "what should I do now, Your Majesty?" asked Oracle Alyssa to stand beside me.

"Take that ring off," I muttered flatly. Oracle Alyssa nodded and walked over to Britanny to do what I wanted. Alysaa took Britanny's hand and pulled the ring that was glowing white. With a few sentences, the glowing stone slowly faded and the white light finally disappeared.

After that Brian stepped forward and resumed chanting again. Instantly a shield was seen surrounding me and a black mist surrounded Britanny.

Britanny raised her eyes and looked at us in surprise. Finally the mask opened. It took me a long time to unmask it. "I never thought that in this world there is still a Black Witch," Brian said with surprise.

Everyone inhaled and looked at Britanny with accusing stares. "Yes, I also didn't expect that Brian. Moreover, she uses her strength to affect me" I walked towards Alpha Drake and stood in front of him with anger. "I didn't think you were a man who dared to play with me Drake"

"M-my ... Ki-king ... I just ..." my hand raised to him to stop making excuses that are no longer useful. My eyes turned gold and looked at him with rage. My clenched fist flew and hit the face of a man that was no longer valuable in my eyes.

Brian walked over to Britanny and put his hand on her head. I crouched down and whispered to Alpha Drake, "look what we will do to your daughter. You're looking for the wrong enemy Alpha Drake"

Instantly the sound of screams of pain coming from Britanny became the voice that dominated the room. Brian continues to cast a spell and Britanny tries to rebel, but she is unable to fight and her body immediately spasms.

That's when Brian finished and raised his hand, "just calm down, she won't die. Alpha Drake. Your daughter will be tried in my kingdom." Brian shifted from Britanny's limp body to Alpha Drake. "I want to ask you one thing Alpha, why is your daughter a Black Witch?"

This time I answered, "It's easy Brian." I stood up and walked over to my friend. Then I stopped right beside him. "Alpha Drake married Black Witch"

"How can?"

"Alpha Drake's soulmate is an Omega. That guy doesn't want a weak soulmate. So he rejects mate bond and makes his soulmate a rogue."

I walked over to Britanny's body and crouched down. My hand touched her wrist to check her pulse. "A few days later, a woman came to seek protection. Alpha Drake who was then fascinated by her beauty, immediately accepted the woman with open arms."

I stood up and looked at the Elders who were now bowing their heads. "They got married and the woman gave birth to a daughter. Unfortunately the princess descended on the mother"

"And that woman is Black Witch?" Brian asked quietly.

I nodded and added. "Black Witch is a fugitive in your kingdom Brian" everyone whispered and threw a look of disgust at Alpha Drake. "The Elders know this.They allow the black witch to live on condition, Alpha Drake must follow what they want"

I turned my gaze to the entire room and said, "Elders don't approve of your true Queen's candidate, my soulmate to occupy the throne. Therefore, they made me the King of their puppets by using the power of Britanny"

Instantly the atmosphere turned boisterous and they cheered elders and Alpha Drake.

I smiled happily and shouted, "SILENT!" everyone fell silent again and looked at me with a look of fear.

"If any of you do something like this again, then the punishment will be more severe than now" I paused and saw those who were guilty escorted out and will be tried by the council. While Britanny was brought by Brian's bodyguards to be tried in his kingdom.

"Remember, only me can choose the woman who will stand by me and the only one entitled is my soulmate ...
