Mated to the Alpha King

Chapter Thirteen

ZOEY POV

Why did I just realize what situation I'm in? Don't look at Roselyn's beautiful facade, everyone knows that Roselyn is secretly devilish and whoever crosses her doesn't have a good ending.

I hope I'm safe. Perhaps, I'm not. Considering that I'm indirectly the reason why Alpha Aiden scolded her.

The Alpha and Luna immediately entered the room upon seeing that Ryan had arrived.

"Son." The both of them called and they both hugged Ryan. It was definitely a heartwarming scene.

Unfortunately, I wasn't in the mood to watch this. Moreover, my mood changes whenever I think about the feud between Roselyn and me. I hope she doesn't hold a grudge against me and counts me as a puny wolf.

Seeing everyone distracted by the scene, I decided to return the plate to the kitchen and then visit the restroom. Probably, find somewhere empty and silent to stay. I don't want to mix with the elite.

"Hi." I waved at a thin teenager who was washing the plates. Oh, I feel bad and sad now. Someone is also going through what I'm going through. I think I made the right decision by bringing the plate over.

"Hi." The girl waved in reply and continued to wash the dirty plates. I walked over to drop the plate neatly at the unwashed section.

"Thank you." The girl suddenly said, which made me turn to her in surprise.

"It's just that nobody had ever done this to me before." The girl confessed, which made my heart swell in pride.

"I guess we are in the same position," I replied to her and rolled my sleeve up. "Need my help?" I asked the lady which made her stop.

"Don't you want to join the party?" She asked me which made me shake my head in denial.

Of course, why would I decide to stay somewhere noisy and would make me unhappy? I'd rather stay here.

"I'm Cynthia." The girl beamed at me as I helped her rinse the lather off the plate. "Zoey," I replied and she nodded happily.

It was fun washing plates with Cynthia.

Cynthia was an omega and omega weren't treated well in the green pack because of an incident that almost took Roselyn's life.

Cynthia told me there was an omega who had always been interested in the alpha of the green pack, and she had the delusion that she'd be the Luna of the green pack until she discovered that the Alpha's mate was someone else.

The omega was so annoyed that she secretly tried to poison Luna many times, but she failed woefully until she kidnapped Roselyn. Her secret was finally revealed, and she was kicked out of the pack. But since then she had cast a shadow on the green pack, and it had changed the werewolf views on the naive-looking omegas.

"So, that's how it ended." Cynthia finished with a shrug.

"That's quite... I don't know what to say but..."

"What?" Cynthia turned to me curiously.

"I need to use the restroom. My bladder would burst if I don't do so now." I told her, and she shrugged at me, that action again.

"Come back quickly," Cynthia told me. She hoped for the both of us to sneak around the party. She wanted to see what was going on.

By the way, Cynthia's face reddened whenever she talked about Crown Prince Ryan; I believed that she had a crush on him.

"I will," I replied to her and made my way out of the kitchen.

I turned to the left and immediately walked toward the direction Cynthia told me the restroom was located.

I was glad when I finally saw it, and so I took a deep breath. And I quickly did what I wanted to. The restroom was a classic expensive one and there was a full-length mirror.

I looked into the mirror and my face stared back at me. I stroked my hair with a sigh, I couldn't believe all that happened. I don't know if it was better than being at home or not.

All I hope is that Clara will be able to let go of what happened.

I remembered Cynthia's instructions, so I decided to leave the restroom.

But when I got out, I saw Alpha Aiden leaning against a wall smoking cigarettes quietly.

His smell invaded my nose and with that, I could understand that he had something going on in his mind, but I decided to pretend not to see him. I don't want to imagine someone seeing us together.

Alpha Blake's threat still resonates in my mind and I don't want to experience his threat firsthand.

"Have you thought it through?" I heard Alpha Aiden's voice when I took two steps away from him.

I stopped in my tracks, but I didn't turn back. "There's nothing to think through," I told him in a cold voice.

I couldn't understand why but my anger began to boil at his questions. I was his mate, can't he ask about how I'm doing? Does he even have feelings? He never acknowledged me, but he wanted someone he could keep. Nope, I mean someone he could have a contract marriage with.

"My options are better than your current life..." he said, which made me stop in my tracks. "Staying in my pack means more freedom for you. All you just have to do is take care of yourself, have my child in a year, and you'd be rewarded handsomely. Enough money that you won't need to work anymore, submit to your mistress's torture or live through this. You should imagine what would have happened had it been I wasn't there today." Alpha Aiden said loftily.

Indeed, his words were attractive. Of course, I'd like to have my money and live far away from here, but I would never use a dirty option to earn money.

Although Alpha Aiden's words are so attractive that many will be willing to jump over, but in his words, I felt like I'm his pawn which he just wanted to play, and it made me annoyed.

I've been tossed my whole life by my mistress, I don't want to be a plaything for any other person.

"Thank you. Indeed, it's an attractive offer but such offer,I'm not the type to accept it. Even if you're my mate, you're someone I don't want to interact with." I told him and turned back quickly.

Nope, I actually picked up my chase and ran to the kitchen, unwilling to hear any more from him. He's a charming but dirty-minded alpha; I don't want him.

I entered the kitchen with a pant, but my brows furrowed when I discovered one thing; this place had been in the same condition before I left.
