His Betrayed Mate Is A Famous Healer

020

Until the sky turned dark, I didn't step out again and just wanted to be alone. The thought of my mum was eating me up, and I cursed myself several times for thinking that I would succeed in my plans of bypassing my stepmom and my dad so I could get her out of bondage.

I was an illegitimate son of my dad, born by an omega servant who served in the palace, and got claimed by the alpha king.

At first, I was rejected. But when my stepmom couldn't bear a son, and her daughters were all married to men unqualified to have the throne, I became the only option, so the throne won't leave our lineage.

I knew it wouldn't end well, but I never knew that being a ruler under their command would make me lose the freedom of seeing my mum. I hoped to find my mate, whom, by the matebond, I would be strengthened, yet it didn't work.

An alpha whose mum was an omega, only my mate would make me stand out against everyone…and which was what my dad and his luna didn't want to happen. He never loved me and was just using me to hold down royalty in his lineage.

I didn't realise someone had been knocking until the door made a creaking sound. I turned to my right, and it was Isobel, in her lingerie, gazing at me and biting the side of her lips softly. “What is it?” I asked her who was still standing at the doorpost.

She began walking in until she shut the door. “Alpha, you don't look good,” she said, taking a seat at my side. “I thought about spending the night next to you for the first time since your recovery. You don't know how much I missed you.”

I didn't even bother to spare her a glance, because I knew my stepmom must have urged her to come seduce me tonight.

She reached out her hand towards my beard, but I grabbed it and pushed it back, causing her to scowl at me. “You don't touch me for any reason, and I am not your alpha.” I snarled at her and tried standing, but she held my hands.

“Why do you keep doing this? When on earth are we going to make a pup? Do you know how people out there are calling me barren, not knowing that you're the cause of this?” she said calmly, but the corner of her eyes darkened a bit, as though she was trying to hold back from unleashing her venom on me. “Even if you won't make love to me, then what about insemination? There are so many methods for me to carry your pup without going intimate. I'm really tired of begging you to touch me.”

I scoffed and slowly took back my arm. It felt so good to hear from her that she was tired of me.

“You should have known by now that I won't let you carry my pup when my mate is still living.”

“Over my dead body will she return here to take my place. She is wolfless, is secretly dating the lycan prince, and has rejected you. What other hope do you have for her? You think the pack will accept someone like her producing the heir to the throne?” she hissed and folded her arms. “I think you should sleep on this. We have to go intimate, and I promise to make you crave it all over again.”

Fuck her! Does she even know how much I was still missing my mate's p***y? I already vowed that only Annette owned me, and I wasn't joking about it.

I had no more time to exchange words with her, so I took the necessary things I needed and left the palace entirely.

A few minutes later, I was under the shower, heaving to the coldness of the water running down my body.

Was it true? Annette was dating the lycan prince secretly?

I turned off the shower immediately and released a heavy breath. It couldn't be true when I deflowered her last night. She also looked nervous when rejecting me, so could it be that the prince has an interest in her and forced her to reject me?

She truly knew I was the one from last night and didn't even want me to leave. When she wakes up and finds out it wasn't a dream, would she regret it when she craved for more in the whole process?

I hadn't lost hope entirely. If she sees my card and reaches out to me, then it means things would be possible, and I would finally have her back in this pack.

After having my dinner that night, Berg came in with a map drawing and placed it before me. I didn't understand what was going on in the drawing until I saw the art drawing of a woman seated at a corner, with chains holding her limbs and tears on her cheeks.

Whoever drew the woman did a nice job, because I could tell that was my mum.

I looked up to Berg and asked him, "What's going on here?”

He cleared his throat and began explaining the map from one post to another, until where the woman's drawing was. “We used a telescope and found her there. So the underground is where your mum is, and is being guided by so many men with tight security,” he completed his explanation, and I only sighed.

I stood up and walked to the mirror, took a good look at myself and asked Berg, “Do I look like my dad?”

“Huh? Why ask?”

Berg had been my childhood friend when I was still a servant like my mum in the palace. So when I was appointed to take over the role since my dad was hospitalised by an accident that almost cost his life, I insisted he would be my beta, because he was the only one I could trust dearly.

“I'll really hate myself more if I don't have my mum's look than my dad's,” I said and turned around. “So…

“You have your mum’s look more, so anyone who hasn't seen your dad won't know you're his son.” he stood up as well. “Now that we have found where your mum is, how do we save her? She needs to be out of your stepmom's grasp before you take any step, or your mum would be used to bringing you to your knees.”

I was short of words.

“But, why do I feel like Annette wouldn't return? I heard she's secretly dating the…

“Thats a lie! I didn't notice anything like that, and neither did my wolf. She looked so remorseful while rejecting me, and doesn't look like she's forgotten me with our encounter last night.”

“You should have impregnated her!” Berg uttered, and my eyes grew large, slowly diverted to him. “I mean it, because she would return to you, and the prince would avoid her.”

I chuckled. Dude doesn't understand anything.

The prince could claim the pup, or Annette, who could train the pup alone, will refuse me still.

“That aside!” I said and returned to take the map. “Gather the shadow guards. They are the ones that will take care of this smoothly.”

He bowed, “Yes alpha!”
