Chapter 45
Alex talked to her very genuinely, he didn’t sugarcoat his words, heither he tried to make her understood his decision, he only laid everything on the table as it was.
He wanted her to be strong, but at the same time, he wanted to protect her. He pushed her to her limit and confront the thing that she had been scared of for so long.
She knew that he meant well and she knew that he meant everything that he said and she could feel that.
If she had to choose a battle, she wanted to fight in a battle where she could have him by her side. She wanted to be brave and greedy for the first time in her life, she wanted to think about herself and what she wanted and right now, it was obvious to see about what she really wanted.
Althea wanted him.
She leaned over and kissed him. She was not sure how to do it right, thus she only pressed Alex’s lips against hers, which made his body stiffened, she prayed that he wouldn’t reject her or push her away, because it would shatter a little bit of bravery that she managed to gather.
However, instead of pushing her away, Alex pulled her closer, but he broke the kiss and watched her face flushed, he chuckled to see her expression.
“That’s not how you kiss someone, Althea.” Alex loved to see how red color on her checks made its way to the tip of her ears and then down to her neck and chest. “Let me teach you how to kiss someone properly.”
Althea widened her eyes, his voice sounded like a threat, though it was not really like that and before she could think what the meaning of what his words, the king had pressed his lips against her and tried to pry open her mouth with his tongue.
Althea was stiffened, but his kiss was so gentle and tempting and when she didn’t get the cue, Alex pinched her hip playfully, which made her gasp and he took the advantage of it to plunge his tongue into her mouth.
His tongue explored the inside of her mouth and this was the sensation that Althea had never felt before. He was very careful and gentle with her, his touch was not painful like she thought it would be.
But, when Alex was about to take thing further, her body froze and he immediately stopped.
“I..” Althea flustered, she tried to explain herself, but Alex stopped her.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“I understood, Althea,” Alex said, he shushed her when she looked like she wanted to cut his word. “I know that you are not ready and that’s okay, but I will make sure that you are safe with me and once you felt safe with me, you will know how you are supposed to be treated.”
Althea bit her lip, his word made her wanted to cry, because she felt appreciated and loved. She hugged him tightly.
“Thank you, Alex. Thank you.”
Alex kissed her neck and grinned, his mischievous smiled tilted the corner of his lips. “You know what, once you felt safe with me, I will make you feel good.”
Althea took a sharp breath, because his words sounded very lewd, but it made her blushed even more, she could feel the heat that crawled on her skin or the heat that pooled between her legs.
She must be insane, when a moment ago, she felt like she couldn’t even have a physical contact with him because of her trauma, but hearing what he said, it made her turned on.
Her body and her mind were not in synch.

Alex then warned her about a few things, since Althea had made her decision. He knew that talking to that bastard of an alpha would help her to see thing clearer.
“You need to know that the court will not be easy.” Alex needed her to understand the situation. “But, you need to know that you are the future queen of the kingdom and you need to carry that title with pride and authority”
Althea was petrifies, but then Alex added that he would be always with her.
“No matter what, I will always be with you, okay.” Alex kissed her forehead. “You need to know that you are that matter to me You and Jasmine.”
Alex hugged her and they kissed for a long time, it was not a passionate kiss, just a lazy one, as if they were teasing each other because for now, that was all that Althea was comfortable with and Alex didn’t mind to wait until she was ready for him.
“Where are you going?” Abigail asked when he saw Brian was about to go out, but he had a bag with him. “Where are you going?!” She became frantic when her mate didn’t answer her.
“I am going out of this place.” Brian turned around and looked at her in the eyes. “I can’t stand you and Willow any longer. “What? Are you trying to say that you are abandoning us?” Abigail was in disbelief with what she was hearing right now because she felt like Brian was trying to leave them behind, as if he finally had enough with them.
“I don’t abandon you. I have enough with the two of you.”
Willow heard this commotion in the morning immediately went out of her room, where she had been crying because she couldn’t get a hold of Killian. She had been trying to find a news from the people that she made friend with, but after last night, they knew who she was and what her motive of getting close to them, thus they stopped interacting with her.
They didn’t want to have anything to do with her.
“What we have done so wrong to make you like this, father?” Willow asked, crying again. Her eyes were very red and Abigail couldn’t see this sight of her daughter like this, it broke her heart so bad
