A Love Story With Alpha

Teased by His Highness

I no longer had any mood to appreciate the surroundings. All I could feel was a sudden chill, as if a tidal wave of cold had hit me. My body, which had been burning with heat moments ago, quickly became numb and stiff. The breath from my mouth turned into puffs of white smoke. I instinctively shrank into Taimir’s arms, trying to absorb some warmth. In the end, I threw all caution to the wind and hugged him tightly.

Taimir raised an eyebrow but didn’t push me away, allowing me to hold onto him.

The blessing ceremony finally ended after more than ten minutes, and I felt like I had just passed through hell.

I looked up at Taimir, my teeth still chattering. "Is this… is this the so-called extreme heat and cold?"

Taimir glanced at me, amused by my comical expression. He gently brushed his hand across my forehead. "Your snot is frozen."

"Oh, really?" I quickly wiped my nose, and a few ice crystals fell off.

As I released my hold on him, Taimir turned and got out of the water. A woman in a white robe, who had been waiting by the shore, draped a velvet robe over his shoulders. Taimir followed her into a corridor, leaving me behind.

I was freezing and shivering. I climbed out of the water, and two human maidservants approached me, offering the robe I had worn earlier. I quickly wrapped myself in it, trembling as I walked away.

The werewolves who had entered with Taimir all left with him. When I walked out, I found that the poolside was now deserted. Just as I thought I was the last one, I reached the corridor and found the young diplomat waiting there. Upon seeing me, he nodded and smiled. "How does it feel?"

Before I could answer, the two maidservants quickly knelt down behind me. The young diplomat didn’t acknowledge them and instead grabbed my arm, pulling me forward.

He probably expected me to be frightened, like the maidservants, and fall to the ground. But to his surprise, I shivered and said, "You… you can’t do this. I’m now at least half the leader’s wife. This kind of contact is improper." I withdrew my hand from his arm.

The diplomat was momentarily stunned, his expression surprised. After a pause, he said, "You say you’re the leader’s wife?"

"Yes, of course. Isn’t that the case?" I was now the one confused, staring at him in disbelief. "We just finished the blessing ceremony, didn’t we?"

"Well, that’s understandable." The diplomat nodded, then leaned closer to my ear and blew softly, "But don’t forget your place. You’re human, and your husband is a werewolf. Aren’t you afraid?"

The breath he blew on me made me feel even colder. I sneezed twice. "O-of course I’m afraid. But the ancestors of werewolves were human. Werewolves and humans are one family. If this marriage can ease the relations between the two races, I’m willing to make sacrifices… I mean, I’m willing to try."

This werewolf may have a handsome face, but there was something sinister in his eyes. Not only did his words provoke me, but he was also becoming too physical. At first, I couldn’t figure out his intentions, but after thinking about it, I realized that this guy was probably here to test me for Taimir. So, I had to be extra careful with my words and actions.

"You’re quite interesting. Different from other humans. How about you come to my room tonight?" he said, his voice dripping with suggestion.

I froze, almost choking on my own spit. What an aggressive test! Even a fool knows not to accept such an outrageous request!

"You’re not afraid of the leader?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? I’m the nephew of the Wolf King, and he’s just the leader of a wolf tribe. Even though his tribe is strong, it’s no match for the might of my royal army. Besides, I’ve only slept with one human. He won’t mind," he said, wrapping his arm around my waist. "I’ll tell you a secret. The wife you saw earlier was also one of my maids. Although she’s human, I treated her well. I don’t have such strong racial views, so don’t worry. I’ll treat you well too."

"Oh, I get it. You’re not testing me, you’re openly trying to cuckold that guy!"

"Cuckold? Taimir doesn’t seem to like wearing hats, and a green one would be too gaudy anyway."

I couldn’t help but laugh, "Taimir, oh Taimir, you always act so superior, not realizing that not everyone is afraid of you. There’s even someone here eager to put a ‘hat’ on you."

Seeing me laugh, the diplomat seemed to take it as permission and lowered his head, about to kiss my lips. I was startled and pushed him away. The diplomat staggered to the side, and I heard him calmly say, "Leader."

I shuddered, and when I looked up, I met Taimir’s cold gaze.

Taimir stood not far away, with the woman in white robes behind him. He had already transformed back into his human form, looking impeccable, radiant, but with a face as black as a pot bottom, his eyes seemingly brewing a storm.

Damn! What a coincidence, the hat was put on him just like that! I twitched my lips, slowly pulling myself out of the diplomat’s arm, deliberately creating some distance.

Taimir’s gaze was cold, but his tone was calm. "Prince Xivier really has quite the interest. But she is still our Red Wolf Clan’s leader’s wife. The blessing ceremony is over, and for you to openly tease her like this, you’re not giving me face."

Exactly! I nodded vigorously in agreement with Taimir’s words, moving slightly away from the diplomat.

Xivier furrowed his brows, looking at Taimir in surprise. "You actually came back?"

"Of course. If I forgot something, I had to come back to retrieve it," Taimir replied, his eyes then falling on me. I was drenched, my clothes haphazardly wrapped around my body. When Taimir looked at me, I froze, my body tense.

"You’re too busy being teased to even wear your clothes properly?!" Taimir scolded, then turned to the woman in white robes. "Shuixia, take her back."

"Boss, don’t misunderstand, it’s all his fault..." I pointed at Xivier, wanting to explain, but I stopped as soon as I saw the woman in white walking toward me. In an instant, my eyes went wide. The woman was tall, with skin whiter than snow, eyes that sparkled with life, and a delicate, beautiful face. Her elegant robe, spotless and untainted by dust, seemed dull compared to her radiant beauty.

This wolf woman was simply too stunning!

"Let’s go." Shuixia’s expression was indifferent as she didn’t even glance at me directly. Her eyes briefly wandered over my body, and she began leading me forward.

I realized that the beautiful woman probably didn’t have a good impression of me, so I quickly stopped staring and obediently followed her. However, after taking a few steps, I suddenly stopped, turned, and called out to the two maidservants still kneeling some distance away. "You two come with us."

The two maidservants were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to lift their heads. I knew that if I didn’t ask them to come along, they would probably stay kneeling here like statues.
