None of it matters, Dimitri.She said softly.I am yours. Every part of me belongs to you. They can look at me and they can think whatever they want. You will be the one sleeping in my arms tonight, not them.
My whole body tingled. My heart started racing. The need to be alone with her and show her just how fucking much I loved her exploded inside me.
I love you.Maddie added.Only you, Dimitri. No one else.
I placed my hand on top of hers and squeezed it. It was a good thing that we were mind-linking and not talking because there was a huge lump in my throat and I wouldn’t be able to speak.
Fuck, Maddie, I love you too.I responded.I can’t wait to fall asleep in your arms tonight.
She glanced at me and smiled. I was lucky I was sitting down because my knees buckled.
“We need to join forces and protect our borders!” someone exclaimed and I shifted my focus to the discussion. “We can’t let them destroy our packs and our lands!”
I took a deep breath and released it slowly.
I needed to focus on the meeting. I needed to stop imagining all the ways I would end the Alphas’ lives.
“Did you manage to capture any rogues?” I asked, making the Alphas look at me. “Did any of them talk?”
“No, my King,” Alpha Theodore said. “Every rogue we captured refused to talk. Some of them died during torture.”
Maddie flinched a little. I squeezed her hand tighter.
I am sorry, princess.I mind-linked her.I know it’s not something you want to hear, but it’s the truth. Rogues and enemies are being tortured for information.
Maddie sighed quietly.
I know.She said softly.I wish there was another way, though.
I lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles. I almost smirked when I saw the jealousy in Alpha Lucius’ eyes.
“We need to find out who is behind the attacks,” I said. “The rogues aren’t organized enough to pull off something like this. Someone is behind it. Someone sent them to do this.”
“What do they want?” Alpha Rhys asked. “What is their ultimate goal?”
He looked around the room, but everyone was silent.
“The throne,” I said. “Someone is after my throne.”
There really was no other explanation.
“But who, my King?” Alpha Alistair asked. “Who would want to go against you? Who would want to go against the Kingdom?”
“We are finally at peace after years of endless wars and battles,” Alpha Jack added. “Is there really someone out there who would want to go through that again?”
I sighed and shook my head.
“I don’t know,” I said. “People would do a lot to gain power. They would sacrifice anything and everything.”
Alpha Alistair furrowed his brows and looked at Maddie.
“When did you find your mate, my King?” he asked and my entire body tensed up.
I resisted the urge to growl at him.
“Why?” I asked, trying to remain calm.
Alpha Alistair looked back at me and took a deep breath.
