He looked to his left and took a deep breath.
“They want your throne,” he continued. “They want your mate. They don’t want peace.”
I gritted my teeth.
“They will never take her from me,” I said angrily. “They will have to kill me to get to her and I will never let that happen. I live and breathe for her and that will never change.”
Alpha Alistair looked back at me.
“I know, my King,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean they won’t try. Your mate is the most direct way to your throne and that means that she is in grave danger.”
My stomach twisted. I knew that even before he said it, but knowing that the threat was even closer than I expected terrified me.
“Alpha Theodore and Alpha Lucius are surely on your side, my King,” Alpha Alistair continued. “I talked to them and they both agree that the traitor is among us.”
I narrowed my eyes slightly.
“Alpha Lucius?” I asked, my voice laced with anger.
I didn’t like the way he looked at Maddie. I wanted him as far away from her as possible.
Alpha Alistair chuckled and shook his head.
“He lets his eyes wander a lot, but he would never do anything, my King,” Alpha Alistair said, giving me a knowing look. “He is harmless.”
I seriously doubted that.
I tightened my jaw and looked around the room.
Where the fuck was Will? I needed him here. We needed to start discussing the possibility of a traitor being one of the Alphas immediately.
Where the fuck are you?I mind-linked him.We have important…
I stopped mind-linking him when I saw him standing next to Maddie and her friend. He was staring at Ali wide-eyed and I wasn’t even sure if he was breathing.
What the…
They are mates!Maddie mind-linked me excitedly.Will and Ali are mates!
My eyes widened. Mates?!
“Oh, wonderful!” Alpha Alistair exclaimed. “I am so happy for your Beta.”
I watched as Will cupped Ali’s cheeks and kissed her.
I was both shocked and happy for him.
“Go enjoy your evening with your friends and your mate, my King,” Alpha Alistair said and I forced myself to look back at him. “We can continue this tomorrow.”
Well, I didn’t want to do that. I wanted to continue this immediately.
“Your mate is safe,” Alpha Alistair assured me and gave me a small smile. “We will talk tomorrow.”
Alpha Alistair walked away before I could protest. I clenched my jaw and tried to take a deep breath. I didn’t like this. I wanted to investigate immediately. I wanted to know who the fucker was immediately. If something happened to Maddie...
“Dimitri!” My mate's excited voice interrupted my thoughts.
I turned to my right and saw her approaching me.
